I Lyman Moved to Place CT File
Representative Lyman moved that
the letter be placed on file Until such a
time as the charter bill is properly se
fore the house.
The bill is now before a commit.
tee" Lyman added, and the house
can not act ON it until the committee
reports back.
Representative Andrews ssId, in
part:
this is against the rules .,f the
hclse. II is overriding the commit,
tees work. Is the house going to sit
here and listen to arguments from any
association? Why cant the chamber
come in It's order? It has had one
hearing Is the house going to dis
cuss something II knows~ nothing
about? Is this to intimidate The com.
misfee into making a repurt?''
TIE letter was placed on file.
do l understand, asked Represen-
tative G. H. Cooke, that there is moth
ing in the rules against member of

THAT is the ruling Of the chair .

Representative Cooke replied.
Il am perfectly willing to present a
Chamber Of Commerce petition. or
petition from any other citizen for or
against the city charter bill in order
that full hearing can be had"
Representatives Cooke. Andrews
and Wilder: r. c. Brown, Harry E.
Murray and John Wise held an in
formal discussion this morning and

have an opportunity to express their
views on the charter bin as it now
stands.
Hear Both Sides
Representative Cooke suggested
that petitions by the chambers or by
other citizens. either for or against
the charter, might be presented in the
house either before or after the meet
ing.
1T is only fair that both sides be
heard" Cooke declared.
Murray and Wise openly opposed
the action of the chamber in bringing
the committee Of 100 before the house.
Wise objected TO petitions, saying, ct
is only fair that both sides have a
chance to express themselves.

JOINT PROBE OF
PIER AFFAIRS IS
LATEST PROGRAM

To save expense and duplication. a
joint investigation of Piers 3, and
10 by the committees OF both the
house and the senate of the legisla.
ture is the substance of a plan which
has been decided upon by the house.
Representative Norman X. Lyman.
chairman of the public lands commit
tee, introduced in the house today o
concurrent resolution requesting the
senate to appoint committee to work
jointly with the public lands commit
tee of the house in the completion OF
the investigation.
The house committee already las
done preliminary work on the investL
CATION. The meat of the situation Is
to determine the causes of the trouble
which arose out Of the construction Of
the pierssin question.
I'VE want to make this investiga-
tion single job" says Lyman The
house committee anticipated that the
senate might appoint committee to
conduct similar investigation. and
fer that reason the concurrent resolu,
ton was introduced today to avoid
having two separate bodies conduct.
ing separate investigations toward a
common end
Lyman adds that joint investiga,
ton will save considerable expense,
time and duplication. It is understood
that at least two local engineers have
been retained by the committee to as
sist it in its work, and it is further
reported that certain U. s. engineers
have been consulted.
The house committee probably wiz
await the senate's action on the con.
current resolution before proceeding
further with the investigation.

GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES
Fuel Administrator Announces Final
Decision, Which Will Be Bind
iRg on All Dealers.

Washington. u Fuel Administrator
Garfield announced regulations, effec-
tive at once, for the limitation of the
retail prices of bituminous and an
thracite coal throughout the country.
The fuel administration has fixed,
in the conclusions arrived at, not the
specific price which the retail dealer
will be allowed to charge the con-
sumner, but the gross margin which
the retail dealer will be allowed to add
to the average wholesale cost of his
coal in making retail prices,
The retail dealer will be allowed to
sell coal to the consumer at a price
representing an advance of not more
than 30 per cent over the retail gross
margin of 1915. In no case, however.
is the gross margin from now on to
exceed the gross margin of July, 1917.
If, for example, retail coal dealer
bought particular kind of coal in
1915 at an average of So ton and
sold 1t to the consumer at So ton,
his gross margin was 81. DR.. Garfield
now allows him to add 30 per cent to
this AMOUNT, making his gross margin
for 191Y $1.30, provided that is not in
excess Of his gross margin in July
last.
If the retail dealer now pays an av-
erage of So for the same kind Of coal
he will be allowed to sell it to the con-
sumner for not more than S4.3O ton.
Doctor Garfield selected 1915 as
normal coal production year.

1 cent per 81 on the premium charged
on marine, casualty, fire and inland
assurances.
Amusement taxes agreed upon pro-
vide that all persons entering places
| of amusement free, except employees
and officials on duty and children I'M
der twelve, would pay tax rate of l
cent on each 10 cents or fraction
thereof of the admission charge. This
tax also would apply to cabarets and
similar performances where the cost
of entertainment is included in other
costs, such as service. Holders of an
nual box seats would pay 10 per cent
of the annual rental. Nickel theaters
and shows, rides and other outdoor
park amusements with a maximum adj
mission of 10 cents and benefit enter
tainments and agricultural fairs were
exempted.
After November 1, 1917, members of
all clubs, except fraternal orders, pay
ing more than $12 annual dues would
be subject to 10 per cent tax.
Exemptions Are Allowed.
On excess profits the conferees
agreed upon a minimum deduction of
7 per cent and maximum of 10 per
cent, instead of the @ to 10 per cent
fixed by the senate. Other exemp-
lions are $1,000 for corporations and
$4,000 for individuals. Corporations
partnerships and individuals having
no capital stock would pay fiat rate
of per cent on net profits in excess
of $1,000 for corporations and $4,000
for individuals and partnerships.
Miscellaneous income tax amend
ments inserted by the senate were
generally adopted, including the So
called Jones amendment for tax of
10 per cent on corporations indis-
tributed surplus, without allowance
for income taxes paid. The 10 per
cent tax would not apply to undis-
tributed income actually invested or
employed in business or invested in
federal securities after September 1,
1917, and per cent penalty for sur
plus retained but not employed is pro-
vided.
In making provision for administra-
ton and collection of the new and |
existing taxes the conferees provided |
that the special tax of 1914 per cent |
ON war munitions manufactures shall
be reduced to 10 per cent, but re-
tanned to January 1, 1918. 1t now
yields about S29,000,000 annually and
the senate had proposed its repeal.

Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact
that the mosquito was the carrier OF
yellow fever, writes E. w. Nelson in
the National Geographic Magazine.
Another type Of mosquito Is known
to be the carrier Of malaria. The Eu-
ropean war has brought to almost uni
versal public knowledge the fact that
body lice are carriers of the deadly
typhus and many diseases are known
to be carried by other insects.
Among these deadly carriers of
death and destruction none equals the
house rat in it's tremendous drain on
the prosperity of nations by it's de-
struction of food and other property,
while at the shine time it is the dead
Hest of all to mankind as a disease
carrier. Within historic times it has
caused the death of untold millions
of human beings through its dissent
nation of the bubonic plague.

Get MenthoI From Japan.

Before the war about half the men
thol crystals exported from Japan
were sent to Germany. Since the out
break of the war the United States
has become the largest purchaser of
these crystals, followed in order by
Great Britain, France and British In
dia. The Price has varied from 50 to
$3.50 a pound during the last five
years, remaining most of the time near
the higher mark. Recent improve
ments in the process of manufacture
have kept the price within reasonable
limits in spite of considerable in
crease in the demand since the begin
ming of the war.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think! You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.
