President to Take sCtion Without
Waillrg for Congress
BELIEVES He HAS AUTHORITY
Senate Likely to Change Rules to
Limit Debate-Extra Session
Certain.

Il6Tcudilllutu tnlo ultSlHOOhs IL ID
understood that the legal advice
which the president has sought con-
vinces him that ne has the authority
to take such action without any legis-
lation on the part of congress.
AS soon as the decision is announc-
ed Secretary Daniels will send in
structions to the navy yards at New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, San
Francisco and other cities to furnish
whatever guns are available.
There was no final decision yester-
as to whether President Wilson has
the authority to arm American mer-
chantmen for defense against German
submarines without action by Con
gress. Authoritative intimations were
given that the president was seeking a
way to take the step on his own re-
sponsibility, but would act only after
most mature deliberations.
The president conferred with Sec
retaries Lansing and Daniels at their
offices, but the usual cabinet meeting
was Cancelled, and in some quarters
it was believed there would be no
further announcement on the ques-
tion until after the cabinet meeting
Friday.
The situation in the Senate was
carefully canvassed by administra-
ton representatives for the admitted
reason that the president would rath.
er act under the express authority OF
y Congress If possible. Reports that
there was a strong possibility Of the
Senatei changing its rules to limit de.
bate were communicated to the prest
dent. - tsr,i.
Some administrator officials. after
careful study Of the old law OF 1873,
b cited in the Senate as preventing the
arming OF merchantmen against sub.
marines, were stronger than ever in
their belief that the act has no appli-
cation to the present situation. The
statute was passed specifically to al
low merchantmen to fight pirates and
privateers, and these officials contend
that the exemption in this connection
of "a public armed vessel of ma
tion in amity with the United States"
does not prevent peaceful merchant
man from resisting an attack in vio-
lation of international law.
The impression grew that an extra
session of Congress was certain, and
the title of calling it was believed to
depend almost wholly on develop
ments in the Senate and on the de-
cision of the president on arming
merchantmen.
Senator Lodge attempted to intro
duce yesterday the armed neutrality
bill killed by the filibusters, but Vice.
President Marshall sustained a point
of order that the Senate could not
consider legislation in extra session
when the House had not been called.

OBJECTS To TAX
On UNTITLED LAND
PLAN TO PUT TAX OF 81 ACRE
ON GRAZING, TURPENTiNE
AND TIMBER LANDS.

One of the features of the proposed
revenue raising bill which is likely to
go before congress- and which is at
tracing considerable interest in this
section. is the part which provides
for a heavy tax on all unused land.
One proposal is that all lands which
are used asr grazing lands. timber
lands, forturpentiEe purposes and
such other purposes, be taxed $100
per acre. Another proposal is that
all lands having on them goal, gas.
iron or other valuable deposits be
taxed $50 per acre.
1t is the provision which carries
with it a tax OF 81 per acre on graz
ing lands, timber lands, turpentina
lands and cut over lands which has
aroused interest here. There are
numbers Of Brunswick residents who
own large tracts of land which are
not being used or which arc being
used for timber. grazing or turpen
lllie purposes. pAuCf the provision
proposed these lands would be taxed
81 per acre.
1t is cont9nded by sCme of tine
land owners that this is all ont OF
proportion. 1t is pointed out that
some of these lands are not worth on
the market much more than the
amount Of the proposed tax.
1t is said that there is a plan on
foot to present arguments against any
such plan if it ever comes before
congress. However, no such action
has yet been taken.
