VAROAMhN HIS
AN OPPONENT
SCATHING ATTACK BY PAT
HARRISON IN ANNOUNCING
CANDIDACY AGAINST THE
SENATOR.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Philadelphia, Mississippi, Aug, %.
Representative Pat Harrison made
a scathing attack upon Senator Var
daman in announcing his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination to
succeed Mississippi's junior senator
at the Neshoba county fair today. He
said that practically every move
Senator Vardaman has made "since
the declarations of war has been
against his party and government.
"If you are a supporter of the peer
less president of this great republic, p"
declared Mr.. Harrison, "you cannot
consistently support the junior SEN
ator from Mississippi. If you love
your country, which was born in the
womb of war and nurtured and pro
tected by the blood of your heroic
ancestors, his reeking record cannot
command your suffrage. If you love
liberty and freedom, the hlood-bought
legacy of every free born American,
you cannot reward the man who gives
aid and comfort to the enemies of the
government that insures liberty and
freedom"
GE. Harrison said that if Senator
Vardanan and those with whom he
stood had cooperated with the ad-
ministration in preparing this coun-
try and in passing the armed neu-
trality bill Germany would have ap-
preciated our fixing of purpose to
maintain our rights and in all prob
ability would have respected them.
Senator Vardaman's term expires
in 1919 and the primary will be held
next August.

GOOD MOVE TO NEWQUESTION.
IMPROVE ROAD. As TO ALIENS.
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES BE-
LIEVE THIS CLASS OF CITI-
ZENS SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY
FROM THE ARMORY.

Whether or not the suspension OF
the rules governing liquor near
camps, applies also to alien enemies
is a question which was brought be-
fore the federal authorities here yes
terday. Several alien enemies in
the city, are anxious to know whether
or not half mile zone still exists
around the Armory Hall, entrance in
to which is forbidden.
When Company | encamped in the
Armory on August 5, a zone extend
ing for one half mile in every direc-
ton was laid off, and liquor and alien
enemies were barred from the zone.
In conformity with the regulations,
many saloons either closed, or moved
to lower PalafoX street Last week
instructions were received from the
attorney general that supplemental
regulations designated the armory
here as a temporary camp, and not
subject to the same regulations, as
far as liquor is concerned, as perma-
nent camps
The question now is whether the
alien enemy zone operates around a
temporary camp, and whether an
armory can be a camp under one
construction, and not a camp under
another.

w. J. Forbes and brother, and
Charles Barclay, who was in the city
yesterday, formed a party which
went by auto over to Robertsdale
yesterday, Mr. Forbes returning late
IN the afternoon after a drive of more
than eighty miles. Mr., Forbes stated
that he met quite a. number of autos
down near the Lillian bridge and be-
lleved if the county would do its pro-
portion in working out a good road

great volume of trade from that part

and were at Robertsdale for dinner.
And l tell you, I met many an auto

the greatest move to expend money
over there, for it would mean a large
increase in trade. If left to me, I
would suggest that the county COM

from over the bridge, and improve
the road. There is no clay on this
side, but there are large deposits on
the other side of the bridge. and

over But, that is the road we need,

TRAMMELL IS
ON THE
REVENUE BILL
Florida Senator Urges That
Burden Be Made Lighter
on Poor People.
GIVE RICH BIGGER
SLICE OF THE LOAD
Increase Tax on Large In
comes and Eliminate That
on Teas, Sugar, Etc.
Washington Bureau.
The Pensacola Journal

Washington, Aug. 23.-In a speech
in the senate today on the pending
war revenue bill, Senator Park Tram
nell urged that the bill be changed
so that the burden of taxation be
made lighter on the poor and that
the rich be given a bigger slice of
the load.
He favors increasing the taxes on
larges incomes, he said, and eliminat-
ing the tax on sugar, tea, coffee,
syrups and other articles of home
consumption, he also urged the elimi-
nation of the proposed tax on parcel
post packages, and the plan to in
crease letter postage.
IF the youth of our country are
to be asked to give their lives if nee
essary to the .country's cause; if they
are to be Conscripted for the war and
have no opportunity to make financial
progress, then surely wealth of the
country should be sufficiently pa
triotic to bear without protest the
financial burden of the war" aid
Senator Trammel.
Senator Trammell also protested
against the tax the bill proposes to
place on the owners and users of
automobiles instead of placing the
tax on the manufacturers. The SEN
ator called attention to the fact that
the car owner is called upon to pay
license taxes to the states, and in
some instances to the cities; and it
Is from this tax that the states re
ceive a goodly portion of the road
funds. He does not favor imposing
a further tax on the car owner by
the federal government. He men
toned in this connection that many
Of the automobile manufacturers had
been making large profits, not only
during the war period but during the
pre-war period, and were better able
TO bear heavy taxes that might be
properly collectable from the auto
mobile industry. He also pointed out
that under the provisions of the bill
making an exemption of the average
profits of a corporation during the
years 1911, 1912 and 1918 before ap-
plying the excess profits tax, would
result in a discrimination by giving
a large exemption to the industries
! receiving excess profits during those
years.
Senator Irammell particularly EN-
phasized his views on an increasing
tax to be levied on large incomes,
especially those over fifty thousand
dollars, stating that "the tax burden
should be borne by those 40 are
able to bear it." and concluded by
declaring his intention to support the
pending amendment providing for ar
increase in the tax to be imposed on
large incomes.

diary bombs which were dropped by
two German aviators on two hospitals
behind Verdun Sunday evening

es. They wounded forty-nine male
nurses and inflicted further injuries
on patients suffering from wounds
received in battle, many of whom
rushed naked into nearby fields in an
attempt to find shelter from the
bombs which were being rained
down.
Meanwhile the German aviators
CirCled about in the air for half an
hour firing their machine guns at
hospital orderlies who were endeav-
oring to extinguish the flames. The
nurses had just finished bandaging
$50 wounded Germans who had been
brought direct from the battlefield
and had gone to bed, when the bombs

profits and millionaire income r. the
greater part of the wars cost en-
crossed the senate today in its con-
sideration OF the war tax bill.
Although Yesterdays amendments
restored the house amendments for
higher rates of income taxation and
ran the tax on millionaireS up to 81
per cent Senator La Follette's pro-
posals for still higher rates came up
today with many senators supporting
them.
Bv these amendments the Wiscon-
sin senator proposes to increase the
income tax return of the bill to more
than $7O0,0O0,000 a year in addition
to the present law.
Senator Vardaman. of Mississippi,
and Trammell, of Florida, spoke in
favor of the La Toilette substitute
and both opposed the bills consump-
ton taxes and its pre-war basis of
taxing excess incomes.

that opposed this war" said Sen

RUSSIAN TROUBLE IS
BUT TEMPORARY, 1T IS SAID

London, Aug. 23.-Temporary dis
organization of the Russian front is
not as serious as the entente allies
feared and the Germans hoped. This
statement is by Major General Maui
rice, chief director of the war intel
ligence office.
German offensive on the Riga has
just started, and has accomplished
nothing, he said, Germans have
achieved only local successes on Rus
sian front As to the situation on
the front in France and Belgium, he
said, it is too early to judge results,
but allies have attained detectives in
the past. They are still making MO
gress in spite of hard fighting of the
Germans, he said.
