democrats of the House to Vance McCor-

Speaker Clark gave the democrats some

speeches. Other speakers at the recep-
ton discussed the general plans for the
coming campaign.
gested that special literature and .spe-
cial campaign be prepared for the So
called German vote" He said the Ger
mans in this country are not receiving
proper attention, from a political stand
point.
The reception. planned by Representa-
tive Doremus of Michigan, chairman Of
the democratic congressional committee,
gave Mr.. Mccormick the chance to be-
come acquainted with the majority men,
bers Of the House. Mr.. Mccormick spent
yesterday in Washington, had lunch at
left for New York.
1t is understood the President urged
Chairman Mccormick to turn his atten-
ton wherever possible to increasing tho
democratic membership of the House.
Following this suggestion, 1t has been
planned to send speakers of national re-
nown into the close districts.

ADVOCATES STATE RIGHTS
AS TO INHERITANCE TAX
Power to Make: Such Levies Should
Not Be Usurped by Government,
Says N. P. Haugen. :

| INDIANAPOLIS. August ga plea
that the right to raise revenue by
| means of the inheritance tax be per-
mitted to remain with the states and
| not be usurped by the federal govern
ment was voiced at today's session, of
| the tenth national conference on tax
alton by Nils P. Haugen. chairman of
| the Wisconsin tax commission. He
urged the members of the conference
to get in communication with their
United States senators and call their
attention to the objectionable fea-
lures" connected with the inheritance
tax bill now pending before the finance
committee of the United States Senate.
The morning session of the confe.'-
ence was sive! over to round table
discussion of tax la - and admins
tration. which was presided over by
John b. Phillips. chairman of the Colo
RADIO tax commission.
Other speeches on the program today
included the presidential address Of
Samuel T. Howe, president of the assoc
citation and chairman of the Kansas
tax commission. and an address by DR..
Adam Short. member of the civil serv-
Ice commission of Canada. who spoke
on Some Aspects of Canadian War
Finances
Recommended tons for broadening the
activities of the National Tax Associa-
address. He suggested educational
campaigns to lessen governmental ex-
pendftures and to provide for addi-
tfonal home rule" legislation. He also
condemned the Washington administra-
ton for its tendency, as he termed it. to
centralize authority. In addition he
made vigorous plea for the enactment
OF uniform tax laws throughout the
country.
Heretofore the chief aim of this as
ISOLATION and its corelative organiZa-
ton. the National Tax Conference an
nually held. has been to promote tax
reformation among the states to the end
that the burden of raising public reve-
nue. should be distributed among the
citizens in a manner more relatively
equal than could possibly be done I'M
der most prevailing revenue systems,
Mr.. Howe said.
There seem to be at least two other
ends toward which the efforts of the
association may well be devoted in
order to enhance the public interest.
First An organized effort to be Wig
orously exerted for the purpose o.
| showing the people the great desira-
bility of limiting public expenditures to
the needs of government economically
| administered.
Second A dissemination of informa-
| ton necessary to convince the public
that every effort should be made Il

OF Interest to Women
FASHIONS

The question of fashion in garments
for the tiny tots is largely one of dain-
tinees and becomingness But, of
course, every item of apparel planned
for the very small citizen should wash.
The sketch offers two suggestions
for the four to eight year old woman
of the family The little mildly dress
is especially smart, with its belted
coat of striped galatea, linen. ging-
ham. etc. and skirt of white or plain
color matching in tone the dominant
shade in the blouse.
To make this little frock for the
average six-year-old one yard of plain
color fabric thirty-six inches wide will
be required for the skirt. with one and
a half yards of striped fabric the same
width for the blouse or coat. The lit
tie skirt is attached to d low-necked,
sleeveless. lightweight fabric bodice.
which is buttoned in the back.
The .bloomer' dress is in plain color
or white fabric. b!oomers. collar. cuffs
and belt being of striped or fancy ma
terial. The boomers. like the skirt of
the first described frock, are held in
place by a low-necked, sleeveless, at
tached underbodiee.
To make this dress for a siX-year-old
VIII require one and a half yards OF
fabric for the dress proper and one
yard for the bioomers. collar. cuffs and
belt.
Some of the smart little simple
dresses for children shown this fall are
pleate1 from shoulder to hem. some are
in Russian blouse effect with pleated
skirts Suspender dresses with wash
able waists and little frocks equipped
with washable guimpes are also in
favor
Tub fabrics are unquestionably first
choice. or should be, for the very young
children. But plain and plaid serge and
velveteen dresses for girls of eight to
ten and twelve years are smart. For
