WILSON ARRAIGNED
BY SENATOR WORKS

With an arraignment of President
Wilson's administration and of what
he called decadence in American soci-
ETY. and government, Senator Works
of California, who retires March 4,
made a valedictory speech in the Sen
ate Thursday. He deplored a ten
dency toward centralized, unchecked
and unlimited" power on the part OF
the President, denounced profigacy of
wealth, recommended that the idle
rich be compelled by law to work, and
urged formation of a new progressive
political party known as the Liberty
party"
Senator Works declared usurpation
of power by the President had amount
ed practically to a dictatorship" Re-
ferring to executive pressure on legis-
lation, he said:
"If this kind of executive coercion
is persisted in and submitted to by
Congress, then our government is no
longer a government of the people.
1t is not a democracy. 1t is not a
republic. 1t is a despotism worse
than any known monarchy"
He reviewed the Wilson administra-
ton in great detail. In urging repeal
of the Panama free tolls clause, he
said the President had descended TO
the level of a common lobbyist" and
the submission of Congress he desig-
mated as impracticable.
Efforts to force the shipping bill,
he said, were shameful" adding that
the reserve act was passed by "presi-
Dental dictation and caucus rule, and
the child labor bill by humiliating
lobbying for political reasons, the
President being a political candi.
date"
The Presidents insistence on pas
sage of the Adamson act, Senator
Works declared, was "deplorable.'
while the recent confirmation of a
Supreme Court justice furnished a
Shocking example of u~nwarranted
influence"
1.-THE course of the President in
Mexico" he continued, "has been one
of arrogant and arbitrary, if not I'M
lawful. exercise of power. Twice has
the President appointed commission
ers, without lawful authority. to nego-
tate with commissioners appointed
by Carranza to settle our relations
with Mexico"
The Senator also denounced the
Presidents appointment of personal
representatives in Mexico, and said
the United States had twice gone to
war with Mexico without the sanction
of Congress-"
Advocating a single presidential
term, Senator Works said the idea
of a President being the leader of a
political party was obnoxious, and
attacked President Wilson for alleged
reputation of the single-term plank
of the Baltimore platform. He said
the present patronage system is de
grading, d%eplorable and dangerous"
Lavish use of campaign funds and
pork barrel" legislation also were
scored by the California Senator. who
gave in detail appropriation records
Of the Democrat administration. He
said there had been an increase of
militaristic spirit because the public
mind had been shrewdly perverted.

BEST WAY TO FATTEN HOGS

l.tame sections the hogs are fatten-

u good price for the corn, but the

higher value to the peanuts, soy
beans, and velvet beans Then for

the hogs are slaughtered or sol the
ration should consist of corn and cot

SENATE TAX BILL
Continued from Page one.)

will be necessary hereafter to further
increase these rates in order to pro-
vide for increased war expenditures,
your committee believes that for the
present it is inadvisable to increase
the surtax rates beyond those pro-
posed in the original House bill"
Regarding the elimination of the
House retroactive income taxes on
1916 Incomes, which would have pro-
duced S1OS,OOO,0OO, the report stat
ed:
This tax seemed in principle both
morally and economically unsound.
Incomes of the last year have paid
their taxes and the balance has eth
err been spent or saved and added to
capital, in which form 1t will yield
returns in the ensuing years. To tax
this tax-paid income again is not only
double taxation Of a peculiarly OBJ
noxiOus kind but would possibly COM
pei tax payer to impair his capital
and thus diminish the government
sources of taxation, 1t would be one
of those disturbing taxes which would
alarm business and check industrial
productivity. 1t is very poor econ
omy and would hold out threat Of
uncertainty"
In recommending the graduated
war profits tax upon the individuals
as well as corporations in lieu of the
present eight per cent excess profits
law, the committee said its plan is
similar to that of European counties,
where it has had marked success.
Eve must face the possibility, even
the probability" the report stated,
"of even higher taxes than are now
proposed in this country and we must
adjust our system so that it will
work satisfactorily even under in
creased rates. Your committee has
not been able to find any satisfactory
reason why individuals engaged in
trade and business should not be sub
iect to this tax (war profits) as we'll
as corporations and partnerships"
Under the present law, the report
stated, inflated values to patents and
trade marks and watering of corpor-
ations' stocks makes evasion Of the
revenue law possible while the COM
mittee's new basis Is believed to meet
the situation. Senator Simmons also
pointed out that the new plan Is a
war profits tax rather than an excess
profits levy.
The new tax OF one cent for each
rs cents paid on parcels post pack
ages was said in the report to remove
discrimination in favor Of the rail-
roads and the parcels post.
In addition to this" the report
said, your committee can see no in
trinslc reason why, in this present
emergency, the government should
not impose a tax upon this method of
transportation, especially in view Of
the fact that the rates on first and
second class mail are increased"
The House five per cent taxes
upon electricity, gas and local tele-
phone service were eliminated, be-
cause ait appeared to the committee
that this would fall with very great
severity upon the people Of moderate
means as wen as the poorest classes,

amounting to $3.50 which was owed

Yesterday at about noon when Gaia

ed to collect the paper bill, Demari
refused to pay, stating that he did not
Justly owe the bill This greatly en-
ragged Catalano who became a little
loud in his discussion and was put
out Of the store by Demaria.
Immediately he secured 80 calibre
revolver and started after Demaria,
who had by this time ran into another
room, Catalano pulled the gun as
he entered the door and in an effort
to get Demaria struck Daugherty who
was in the store for only few minu-

his little daughter who was standing

innocent bystander Catalano again
