COmpany's Answer
Alleges Negligence

In the suit for damages brought
against the Great Northern Casket com
pany by J. D. Nairn for injuries receiv-
ed as the result of his big toe being
crushed when piece of iron fell from a
workbench while engaged in mailing
cleats on rough box, the defendant
company this afternoon filed an answer
to the complaint and states that the
tools used were ordinary ones and that
te work is classed by the state legisla-
ture as non-hazardous.
The casket company says that Nairn
selected the tools himself and that the
work did not involve any risks or dan
ger. 1t states that the injury depended
solely on how Nairn used the tools, that
he fully understood the nature of the

johnson Still Fights

Washington, Sept 6.-Senate wealth
conscriptionists shifted their attack
today from war profits to proposed
heavy levies on big incomes.
The fight begins on an amendment
by LaFollette seeking fifty per cent
of all incomes in excess of $47 800. The
Simmons Penrose plan proposes such a
levy only on 81, 10000 incomes.
Half a dozen other amendments,
growing less and less drastic, will fol
low if this proposal meets expected de-
feat The Borah-J ohnson group hope to
force the committee to make substan-
tal concessions rather than to carry
their own amendments to victory.
This method succeeded in the war
profits combination where the commit
tee raised it's average rate from twenty
six to thirty one per cent when the
radicals attack grew hot. The conces-
sion saved the committee plan, which
was approved late yesterday.
Senator Trammel, Florida, will fight
to exempt single men with $4,000 in
comes and married ones with $4,000
from taxation.
The committee figures are $1,000 for
single men and $4,000 for married men.
Pre-war exemptions were $1,000 and
$4,000 respectively.
Despite these greater exemptions, the
conscriptions propose to raise more
than $1,000, 100000 from incomes as
opposed to $S47, 100000, which the com
mittee favors. This is to be done by
heavier levies on the so called "mod-
erate' incomes from $4,000 up.
Indications are that consumption
taxes on tea, sugar, coffee, cocoa, tele-
graph and telephone messages, railroad
fares, sporting goods and cosmetics,
will be stricken from the bill. The com
mittee proposes to raise OO,OOO,O0O by
them, but sentiment is strongly against
them.

CHAMP CLARK STANDS
FOR WAR PROFIT TAX
VOiceferOus Applause Indi-
Gates House viii Increase
Senate'S Tax

Washington, Sept. 6-Sueaker Champ
Clark, taking the floor in the house
today, re-opened the battle of wealth
eonscriptionists, demanding that great
war profits be heavily taxed. The tenn
per of he house toward the coming
fight was shown in tremendous ap-
plause of Clark s words. His declara-
tion that "eighty per cent of war prof
its is not too much to take' aroused
such a demonstration that Clark was
forced to stop speaking.
He vigorously flayed profiteering,
saying:
of our young men are willing to
risk their lives, our wealthy men need
not be afraid to risk the dollar.
Clark s action and his reception, on
the heels of the senate S refusal to fix
more than 81 per cent tax on war prof
its, was taken as a strong indication
that such profits are not yet safe. 1t
also emphasizes the wide split between
the house and senate on the revenue
bill and augurs long drawn out debate
before the revenue bill is a law The
bill as passed by the senate will be
fought on the floor of the house.
Meantime, senate conservatives be-
gan their fight to prevent the wealth
conscriptiOnists increasing the tax on
giant incomes.
Senator McCumber, North Dakota,
said he fears higher income taxes will
dampen the nation S war spirit.
4" Few senators realize how heavily
we taxed stockholders by our action
yesterday on war profits, said Nc
Cumber. IA man who ought to get
$50, 900 in dividends from a corporation
making one hundred per cent profits
this year, will get only $4,000 for the
support of his family after he has
paid all federal, state and municipal
taxes. Therefore, we ought not increase
the income tax one cent.

Attorney General Brown has receiv-
ed the decision of Judge kuykeudall
of Klamath county in the seventh of
the famous HYDE Benson land fraud
cases in which the judge decided, rs
far MS can be ascertained from the de
cree, that all of the cases in that coun-
ty except one We're fraudulent. The
one ease that was not declared fraud
ulent was for $50 acres of land. The
whole amount of land in consideration
was 5000 acres,
The state now has won six out of
seven of the land fraud suits and all
are appealed to the supreme court.
The suits were placed with Judge Kuy
kendall last December but no opinion
was rendered until recently. Under the
provisions of the law Judge cannot
hold case more than three months
without rendering decision. II he
does do SO he is subject TO loss of pay.
Recently the attorney general wired
for information to the county clerk of
Klamath county regarding a decision
and the clerk wired back that there
was decision but he could not make
out which way it was, SO he sent the
papers to the attorney general who is
laboring over the problem.

in knocking Gibbons from the car.
After a dangerous turn in the road
just below St. Asaph. Virginia, the

andria County courhousee. The ma
chine was taken to a garage in Alex
andria. y - p
A report received from the sheriff
last night declared he expected to
apprehend both the man and woman
who were IN the machine in q short
time.
Policeman Gibbons, who was injured
in his fall from the running board of
the car proceeded to Emergency
