John SHARP WANTS
TAX Returns PUBLIC
WOULD HAVE GOVERNMENT TELL
WHAT INCOMES FOLKS
HAVE.

Washington, July 2O.4eoI never
could see any sense in Keeping the
income tax returns secret, any more
than any other taS.9
SO declares Senator John Sharp
Williams, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee Of the Senate committee on
finance, which has just been appoint
ed to consider the income and inheri-
tance taxes. The other members of
this subcommittee are Senators Gore
and James.
The endorsement by Senator Will
liams Of publicity for the income tax
returns is worth that of any other
two senators, not only because Of the
position that he occupies as the Demo
crat in charge of the income tax bill
In thes Senate, but also because he is
one OF the strongest debaters in the
United States Senate.
Senator Williams said he thought
the rates in the Kitchin bill were
about right, although he had not given
them thorough consideration. When
it was pointed out that the Kitchin
bill increases the rate on incomes Of
from $4,000 to $4,000, whole 100
per cent, and only increases the super
tax on incomes over 100000 60 per
cent, Senator Williams said;
well, percentages are dangerous
things to fool with This may be like
the case Of the orator that pointed to
the great Republican achievements in
Mississippi, because the Republican
vote had Increased 200 per cent, and
when they looked up the facts they
found that it had,-it had increased
from to 6! The main thing to look
at in this Kitchin bill is that it takes
six times as large a proportion Of the
millionaires' income as it does of the
income of the man making $4,000

.BILOXTS SEA WALL IT
TO COST BIG SUM
ENGINEER MAKES TWO EsTl-
MATES SHOWING AMOUNT
OF WORK INVOLVED.

Biloxi, Miss, July 21.--At called
meeting Of the board of mayor and
aldermen of Biloxi tonight, plans and
specifications and an estimate of the
cost of the construction of sea wall
along the beach front within the cor.
porate limits will be submitted by City
Engineer j. D. Ferguson. Two plans
will be submitted to the board by Mr..
| Ferguson, one to consist of twenty sea
wall districts and the second of sew
enteen districts. The first proposi-
tion will estimate the cost of the con-
struction of sea wall at $205, ,177. .76
and the estimated cost of the second
proposition will be $12S,672.S6.
The first plan is for 20 sea wall dis
tricts, including the filling behind the
wall, drainage, engineering and super.
|intendency, to begin at Kellar avenue
on the extreme western limits of Bill
oxi and to extend along the beach
front and around Point Cadet to East
Howard avenue for distance of 4.S5
miles. The average cost of this sea
wall will be, according to the figures
of City Engineer Ferguson, $S.5S foot
or $205,1 ,177.76 for the entire distance
of more than four miles.
The second plan is for the construc-
tion of the sea wall from Kellar ave
nue. on the west to Point Cadet. a
distance of 2.97 miles or 1857 feet
The average cost for the construction
of the second proposition is $9.12
foot, or $12,672S6 for the entire sea
wall This viii include the filing be-
hind the wall, the drainage, engineer
ing and superintendency Of the work.
The board of mayor and aldermen
will likely accept the second report
of the city engineer. Mr.. Ferguson
has been at work making survey
and estimating the cost Of the con
struction of the sea wall since June Is
and has Just completed his labors.

gineers have already made their re-
