"The New Henrietta"

Dramatic doctors Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes, were rendered a delicate task in revising Bronson Towards fa- nous play, ''The Henrietta" which is to be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre January "A and 25, with special mati- nee on Tuesday, but they were reverent as well as skilled craftsmen, and their work has added a modern dash and flavor that makes it more irresistibly appealing than ever, and that is saying a great deal. This red blooded, lively, swaying play has long been a model of effective dra- matic writing and stands unequalled for two generations as source of robust and continuous fun. The oil of humor trickles through it's changing situations as freely as water from a hilltop after a drench- ing shower Nor is there a word or in cident to offend good taste

Bailey of Pennsylvania Says Big Incomes Must Pay

SENTIMENT STRONG
 IN EASTERN STATES
But in Remainder of Country, He Says, People Are Overwhelming ly Against Tremendous
 Expense
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

l Washington, January 1S.-(Special.) Alabamians who have complained to Senators Bankhead and Underwood re- speoting the possibility of the imposition by Congress of still greater burden of taxation are apparently not the on
 people of the United States inveighing against the extensive preparedness pro- gramme advocated by the administration.
 Warren Worth Bailey, editor of the Daily Democrat of Johnstown, Pa and representative of the Nineteenth Penn sylvania, a district prior to his election unifromly republican, declares in a formal interview issued to the press of America today, that the people everywhere are voicing strenuous opposition to the big army and big navy schedules.
 He pointedy statts that sentiment for preparedness exists solely in New York, Massachusetts and other New England coast states which would not have their war brides deprived of the bloom received from the blood red fields of Europe" He charges that the rich are demanding pre- paredness, and predicts that the rich will hear the burden-that those possessing fortunes through inheritance of more than $10,0OO will be made ito sweat"

BAILEY EXPRESSES VIEWS

Every day the tide against militarism is rising. When I came down 10 Wash ington in September and modestly set cut to sound popular sentiment and arouse public opinion against what I consider the greatest menace this republic ever confronted, my self-imposed task seemed impossible; and I know my good news paper friends laughed at me and dis missed me as a sort of amiable crank who might be indulged in his folly in the absence of anything more exciting.
 'But they are now coming to under stand that I was not by any means alone in viewing the preparedness programme of the Navy league of the United States with apprehension. The whole country is today becoming alive to the true mean ing of that programmes programme which flatly contemplates a departure from all the traditions and ideals of the republic We can no more exist half military and half free than it was pcssi- ble for us to continue half slave and half free. We must be one or the ether. And as far as I am concerned my vote will not invite the man on horseback

THREATENS THE WEALTHY

1.-Two months ago." MT. Bailey con- tinued. "the best I dared hope was that we might be able to moderate the pro- gramme. Today I believe it can be in definitely postponed, if not actually de- feated No confidence is being betrayed when I say that in the secret heart of all most every democrat in Congress, outside of those from New York, assachusetts and one or two other coast states, there is the sharpest sort of opposition to any increase in expenditures for war pur- poses. But it may be added that in the event such increases are forced by one means or another upon Congress, the burden will be made to fall, not upon want, but upon wealth. There is a de- termination on the part of members with whom I have conversed-a1id I have heard many express themselves-to raise most of the money called for in this monstrous programme by heavier taxes on large incomes. There is little If any disposi- tior to draw from smaller incomes. But big incomes will be hit hard-the largest may be taxed up to 33 or perhaps even 50 per cent. The clamor for prepared ness emanates from and is encouraged by the rich. Let the rich pay. This is the sentiment I find
 VENTURES A GUESS
 My correspondence has been very heavy for months. It is practically all one way-against military and naval ex- pansion. It comes to me from every state and from every class of people ex- cept those engaged in the production of war material or in financing war orders. I haven't received a word of encourage ment in my campaign against prepared ness from any such source. Those wedd- ed to war brides have no smiles for an humble citizen who is doing what he can to rob those brides of some of the bloom they have caught from the blood red fields of Europe.
 Here is a guess I want to venture. There will be no anti-dumping legisla- tion; there will be no tax on gasoline; no tax on motor engines; no tax on bank checks, no tax pig iron; no tax on sugar; no tax on several other objects which have been suggested; but if more taxes are made necessary by reason of a hysterical yielding to the munitions ring and the war traffickers. there will be a federal inheritance tax and a super tax on incomes of $1O0O0 and over which will make the Morgans and the Rocke- fellers the Vanderbilts and the Stotes- burys, the Tricks and the Schwabs sit up and take notce''

after the opening.
Nothing novel was forthcoming to
explain the advance in the issue. AS

WASHINGTON May 23.-Efforts
OF democratic leaders to force consid-
Grafton Of the naval preparedness bill
next week and pass It before the re-
publican convention convenes, de
veloped bitter debate in the house To-
day.
Republican Leader Mann declared
the plan was "a piece Of trickery" to
rush the bill through without debate
or to keep republican congressman
from attending the national conven-
ton.
Democratic Leader Kitchin re-
ported that the country insists an ade-
quate naval bill be passed and does
not expect the republican minority to
prolong the debate for longer period
than necessary.
'It is matter Of policy with us
democrats" said Kitchin, "to pass
this bill before the republican conven-
ton. II we do it you folks will go on.
to Chicago and charge US with failins
to fulfill our pledges. II we cannot
get unanimous consent for the naval
bill, we propose to force night ses-
sions to put it through"
The debate ended without any
agreement and the prospects are now
that the democratic leaders will use
the gag rule"
Demanding "all or nothing" minor
ity members of the naval committee
will file their report tomorrow, pro-
viding authorization of sufficient
number Of warships and men to place
the American navy in second place
