REICHSTAG TO CONSIDER
GOVERNMENT REVENUES
Germany Likely to Get All the New
Taxation Outlined in Pro-
posed Bills.

BERLIN, March IA, via London.
March Is, 10:45 a.m.-The chief busi-
ness of the reichstag when it reassem-
bles tomorrow will be the discussion
of the governments revenue bills. 1t
is understood that the non-socialist
parties are likely to act as a unit and
that the government will get substan-
TALLY all the new taxes it has asked
for and possibly even more. as a sec
ton of the reichstag favors a tax upon
extra war profits heavier than that
proposed by the government.
national convention of chambers Of
commerce has adopted resolutions IA
voring the governments revenue meas
ures. but protesting strongly against
any increase in the tax on war profits
over that already suggested. Some
complaints are heard outside the reich
stag that the bills aim to obtain the
new revenue chiefly from the non
farming classes. whereas the farmers
are now prospering in an unprece-
dented manner. 1t is probable, how
ever, that there will be no serious con-
test in the reichstag over any of the
governments revenue bills.

OPPOSITION DEVELOPING
TO COALITION MOVEMENT
Independent Candidate for British
Parliament Condemns the New
Military Compulsion Act.

LONDON. March 15.-As a further
step in the development of the par
liamentary opposition to the coalition
government, Thomas Gibson Bowles
appeared suddenly yesterday in Leices-
tershire and announced his candidacy
as independent nominee for the house
of commons vacancy there. Mr.. Bowles
will conduct his campaign against the
coalition nominee on a platform de-
claring that the government is COM
mitting a grave breach of faith against
married men in its application of the
new military compulsion act.
The grievance of the married men
seems likely to develop considerable
proportions. They are asserting that
the government promised that all able
bodied single men should be called up
before the married men. and that this
pledge has not been fulfilled on ac-
count of wholesale exemptions granted
single men.

For Suspension of Sections.

The committee in charge made four
recommendations to be passed upon.
First, that Congress should be asked
to suspend at once sections 4, 13 and
IA of the seamen's act, which discrim-
mate against American ports and ships,
until such time as by international
agreement the requirements of those
sections can become equally applicable
to the shipping of all nations
The committee also recommended that
the sections of the seamen's act. deal
ing with deserters should be repealed
as TO foreign vessels, and that the De-
partment of State. should seek to have
arrest and Imprisonment of seamen for
desertion abolished by other nations.
The other two recommendations have
already been specified.
Section 4. referred to in the first
recommendation. has to do with the
demand or half-pay at American ports
by seamen on foreign ships. Section
I3 deals with the language test and
the complement of able seamen,' while
section IA refers to life-saving appIf-
ances and the manning of lifeboats.
chipping Board Recommendation.
Regarding the federal shipping board.
1t is recommended that it take over the
staff and duties of the bureau of navi-
CATION and the bureau of steamboat
inspection, and proceed at once to re-
wise existing laws, and to propose
amendments which. provide compre-
hensively and adequately for the COM
fort safety and welfare of the crews
manning, and all other matters re-
lated to our merchant marine and es-
pecially the design and construction
of vessels with regard to safety.

Covers Variety of Subjects.
1T is to be noted that the seamen's
act covers a variety of subjects and
purposes" Mr. Rhett said as chairman
of the committee. and calling the at
tention Of business men to the much
discussed law, land can scarcely be
considered properly as one piece of
legislation.
THE committee has differentiated
among the purposes of the legislation,
and in submitting it's recommendations
for suspension of certain provisions
took into account the soundness of
many provisions and the good pur
poses behind others which the legis-
lation as drawn fails to make effec
tive"
The seamen's act referendum will
come up for discussion at meeting
OF the board Of directors to be held
in Kansas City. Thursday and Friday.

Ripping Rhymes
In The Fall
By WALT MASON

In the Fall Tired Fathers fancy
gravely turns to thoughts OF coal, and
he sheds nine kinds of briny as he sizes
up his roll He has thirty seven dollars
two of them are plugged with zinc
and the outlook for the winter is ex-
tremely on the blink And he hears
the children clamor for lot Of winter
buds, and his wife makes requisition for
some bacon and some spuds; and his
lovely grown-up daughter wants no
poverty in hers-she must have styl-
ish bonnet and costly set of furs, and
the son will need some money as he
studies for the bar; thirty seven hard
earned dollars wont take father very lar.
Father has SO many problems that his
hair has fallen out. yet it's safe to bet
kopeck on that patient. dauntless
scout. Somehow he will buy the bacon,
somehow he'll provide the spuds, Susan
Jane will have her sables, and the
kids will have their buds; there'll be
coal to feed the furnace; therell be
comfort in the shack. while Tired Father
fights his battle with eight stitches in
his back.

How Pineapple Juice
and Pepsin. Relieves
Stomach Trouble

The juice of pineapples contains fer
ments used by the stomach in the diges-
ton of food. Pepsin is supplied by
every stomach, but many time in INSULT
cient quantities. These two when COM
bined with the other ingre iients in
Natol Pineapple Pepsin Compound furn-
ish to the stomach exactly the right
proportion to digest the food. Strong
lA.atives are an injury and are not
needed where the food is properly diges-
ted
Na,ol Pineapple Pepsin Compound is
not patent medicine but corrective
and assistant in overcoming all stomach
troubles. One bottle (50c) is usually
enough to give permanent relief.

A Hen'S.RecOrd

At the Oregon Agricultural College
is hen that has broken the worlds
egg-laying record by finishing full
year with 3O3 eggs to hear credit. This
Oregon hen was not petted during the
time she was making her record. She
was fed and housed in a way that would
be really practicable in commercial
poultry raising, it is said.
The average annual egg yield per
hen in the United States is seventy.
Last year the Missouri poultry station
produced hen that laid 81 eggs. Re-

the record made by the Oregon hen will
not be approached this year. The time
