TAX BILL CONFEREES
COMPROMISE DIFFERENCES
House Members Opposed to
Big Cuts Made in Meas
IRE by Senate

WASHINGTON. Sept 16.-CConfer-
ees on the war tax bill clashed today
over senate Examinations from the meas
ure of the manufacturers gross sales
taxes and others totalling about $780,
100000 and compromise by which half
this amount will be raised from these
sources finally resulted
House conferees, led by Democratic
Leader Kitchin. declined to agree to the
senate proposal to strike out the per
cent Manufacturers tax provided in the
house bill. The compromise agree
ment is understood to have restored a
tax OF somewhat less than this amount
on musical instruments and jewelry and
revision Of the automobile tax sections,
with increases of per cent on the gross
sales taxes of patent medicines. cosmet-
les, perfumery and other toilet articles
is probable.
On other senate changes the confer
ees did not fare so well. The amuse-
ment tax. reduced by the senate from
s6O,00O.Oo0 to s19.Ooo.00O aroused much
discussion and a final vote on it prob
ably will not be reached for several
days
Approximately two-thirds of the bill
had been disposed OF when adjourn
ment was taken tonight, and 1t was ex-
pected that a report could be ready next
Thursday for presentation to both
houses. The excess profits tax and
opstal rates sections will be last con-
sidered.
Unexpected objection to the tobacco
tax section which promises to delay
final agreement suddenly appeared to-
day. Mr.. Kitchin is understood to op-
pose the proposed senate increase in
the tpharco tax from k2b 600 600 IN
$50, 600. 900. He was of the opinion
when the bill passed the house that to-
bacco was taxed to the limit
Sections covered today included auto
mobiles and motorcycles. tires and
tubes. musical instruments. motion pic
ture films. Jewelry. sporting goods
yachts and pleasure boats, perfumes and
cosmetics, club dues, stamp taxes and
parcels post packages. The total taxes
for these articles proposed by the house
were S143,O00,o0o and the senate low
cred them to s9s.O0e.voo. Forecasts
are that half Of this reduction will
be restored.
Much OF today's session was devoted
to discussing whether the public should
be informed of the progress of the
conference. with Mr.. Kitchin again lead
ing a successful fight against official
publicity. Publication OF results of yes
terday's conference was pointed to by
some conferees as proof that 1t was i'm
possible TO keep the deliberations Sc
cret, but finally the pledge of secrecy
was renewed and several members
threatened to urge official investigation
of further publication Of the proceedings

THE QUESTION OF LABOR
Probably The Most Serious Handbag
60 Put Ia MAXIMUM Crops This
Year 10 the Scarcity OF
Farm Labor.

U0T" 10OOts
tMatleaai Gro, iaprovsmsat ssrvies.l
Many a good crop will be ruined be-
cause farmers cannot get labor at the
right time. There are two times OF
the year when more labor Is absolute
ly necessary-at seed time and at mar
vest. While our farmers need men at
other times of the year, these are Inc
two crucial periods.
AS 1t is to the interest OF every per-
son living in this county to produce a
bumper crop this year, We must 10 all
we can to help the farmer and per-
haps the most important thing we a
do, is to find him right help OF the
right class.
There are three classes OF farm help
I'D The regular farm hands who are
going to be rather scarce. CD There
are, however, a great many men VINO
work in factories, in wholesale houses,
drive teams and other occupations
who could possibly be spared during
the rush seasons 1t Is the duty OF the
commercial clubs and manufacturers
to make a list of these men and offer
them for detached service when ur-
gently needed. There is a third class
of labor which is very efficient and
that is men of affairs who have been
raised on farms who will volunteer
to help the farmers out during the
rush. This Is the greatest work our
business men can accept to show their
patriotism at this time.
