AFTER ROWDY CLOSE

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. lo.-The session
OF the General Assembly which closed
IN the early morning hours yesterday
after an all night session, was one of
the stormiest in the history of the
legislature, several arguments of much
heat, the passage Of the lie on the
floor of the house, and one or two
near-hghts characterized the session.
Despite these untoward events,
which really may be ascribed to. ruff
fled tempers, perhaps, because of the
extreme heat during August, the AS
sembly closed in great love-feast,
as it were, in which nearly everybody
gave everybody else a present.
Mrs. James K. Jordan, the Senate
Stenographer, received very hand
some silver service from the members
of the adjourning Senate
Joe Hill Hail. the representative
from Bibb, who is resigning his legis-
lative place after II years OF service
at the capitol, received handsome
gold headed cane as a token of his
confrers' esteem. Speaker John N.
Holder was given a silver flower bas-
kct; Speaker pro tenn J. A. Beazley, a
tiligree silver butter dish; Z. Bismarck
Moore, clerk of the house, a silver
fruit dish; ]. E. Paulk, messenger of
the house, a beautiful stick pin; and
w. T. Wallace, the veteran door
keeper, a pair of gold cuff links, the
presentation speeches being made by
Representative Stubs, Burwell and
Jones.
Over in the Senate presents were
given to Mrs. Jordan, to President S.
L. Oliver, VIII oreceived a gold pencil
from the pages, Young Devereaux

er, making the presentation. The SEN

Heath; a monogram belt to assistant
secretary Judge Hansell; silver
fountain pen to Pat" HARRISON;
monogram belt to Charlie Rice.
journal clerk; an umbrella to Mes
enger Hook, and necktics to the door
keepers.
Speeches of good fellowship wiped
out the memories of senatorial and
legislative disagreements.
Important Measures Passed
With important legislation accumu-
lating toward the last few days of the
session, the General Assembly just
adjourned was compelled to sit in SEES
sion on the last night later than at
any previous session in many years.
The hands of the clock stood at 4:30
o'clock when the weary legislators
we're at last released from bondage.
A number of important measures
were passed. The general appropri-
atoms bill, the general tax revenue
bill, the work or fight bill, the anti
tipping bill, the measure establishing
a system of state warehouses, the alb
sent voters bill and other measures
of importance having finally received
the stamp OF approval of both bran
ches.
AS this is the concluding session of
the two year term, all bills not passed
are dead, and must come up next
year, if at all, as new business.

The final lap of toe food admins

clal wheat conservation appeal bv Mr..
Hoover will be read.
SIX or seven weeks more of careful
use Of wheat will complete the bridge
between last years harvest and the
coming one, and during that time a
large proportion Of the population must
abstain from wheat altogether. accord
ing to the food administration.
Copies of Mr.. Hooyer's appeal have
been sent by Cardinal Farley. Bishon
Greer, Bishop Burgess and tie heads
OF the other denominations to ali their
clergy. All the women's organizations
IN the cit city and state have received
copies. The Elks, the Odd Fellows. the

pledged themselves to support the cam

"The food board wishes to eunha-
size this one point, that the wheatlsgs
pledge must be entirely a voluntary
one, said statement issued last
night. No member of a household
should make such a pledge where its
carrying out will work hardship on the
family. The campaign does not con-

On Aircraft Inquiry

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The scope
OF the proposed inquiry into aircraft

Senate Military Committee was dis
cussed at conference to-day between
Charles E. Hughes, who is to conduct
the Department of Justices aircraft in
vestigation, and Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, chairman of the Military
Committees aircraft subcommittee.

Read and Bugbee
Enter New JERSEY
Race for Governor
Treasurer and Controller
Announce at Republican
State Convention

TRENTON, N. j., May 25.-Two Re-
publican gubernatorial candidates sent
their hats skimming into the ring to-
day at the annual convention here of
the New Jersey State League of Re-
publican Clubs. They are William T.
Read, of Camden, State Treasurer and
former State Senator, and Newton A.
X. Bugbee, of this city, State Control
ler and Republican State Chairman.
Nearly 500 delegates were at the con-
vention.
Austen Colgate, who announced yes-
terday his withdrawal from the con-
test for nomination for United States
Senator, for which Governor Edge is a
candidate. rebuked the Governor for
entering the race, saying he was using
the power of his Office for political
purposes.
Governor Edge ignored the attack.
He dwelt in his address upon the ne
cessity Of sinking partisan politics and
establishing national political stand
ards. In statement issued earlier in
the day he said the withdrawal Of
Colonel Colgate from the race was a
complete surprise to him.
Hays Sends Message
Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, sent a
message, in which he said:
"The Republican party stands:
First, to do everything in our power to
win the war now. Second, for peace by
victory and never a peace by COM
hoy ,iy,or ,,.J &a
in a sane manner to solve the immeas
urable problems of reconstruction that
come after the war.
1--WE must have such Industrial peace
now as will make certain that every
atom Of brain and every ounce of
Drawn goes where needed most to help
the common cause. And that is not a
charge on labor only. We must have
less profiteering and more volunteering
in this country. The manufacturer
who would take advantage of his coun-
force concessions unduly from labor is
just as culpable as the laborer who
would take advantage of his employers 8
emergency and his country's necessi-
ties to force unfair concessions.
Firing Squads for Traitors
"And that lawless individual that
puts the spikes in the spruce logs, and
that lawless individual calling himself
an I. w. w., that goes about
the country thinking only of himself
and seeking whom he can destroy, that
man is traitor to his country abso-
lutely and nothing else, and should be
treated as such. For a traitor there is
but one effective medicine-taken
standing against the wall Let him
have it,"
Republican leaders, it is said, are de-
termined to make a three-cornered
fight of the Senatorial primary despite
the withdrawal Of Colonel Colgate and
were said to-day to be urging ex-Gov-
ernor Edward G. Stokes to become a
candidate. 1t is believed Mr.. Stokes
will announce his decision next week.
The other Republican candidate be-
sides Governor Edge is George l..

terday and to-day, the thirteenth the
generosity Of Charles M. Schwab has
made possible. For the first time at
these concerts "The Star Spangled
Banner" was sung, and sung with tre-
mendous spirit.
Mr.. Schwab's activities as director of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation pre-
vented him from attending the festival,
which is one of his most cherished
music lovers, however, made the trip,
for the festival is famous the country
over.
Two works not previously given at
Bethlehem, the cactus Tragicus" and
"Now Shall the Grace" were sung on
Friday afternoon. In the evening the
Funeral Ode" was sung in memory of
the American boys who have fallen in
France. To-day was given up to the
"Mass in B Minor" one of the most
difficult and noblest choral works in
existence, rarely heard outside of Beth
lehem, because of the extraordinary
amount of rehearsing it requires.
The chorus again revealed its accus
toned virtuosity, developed in contin-
uous rehearsals under DR.. J. Fred
Wolle's direction. Dr. Wolle's read
ings give the critics much to chatter
about, but they are always original and
frequently reveal with extraordinary
vividness the romantic imagination
which abounds in Bach's works. The

Soviets Told Printing Press
Plan of Raising Money
Must Be Abandoned
F Favors Direct Levies
Refunding Of Present Issue of
Rubles at a Discount
Is Suggested
(Bp Tho Associated Press)

MOSCOW, Monday, May 20
dressing the representatives of the fl
nancial sections Of the All-Russian So
viets, assembled in Moscow for the So
luton Of financial problems, Premier
Lenine declared the temporary plan Of
raising money by means of the print
ing press and by levying contributions
must be abandoned and a centralized
taxation system be devised.
The Socialists, said the Premier, fa-
vor q property and income tax rather
than indirect taxation. and he ex-
pressed the expectation that the Soviet
government would adopt a general in
come tax, collected monthly.
The present money, the Premier an
nounced, would shortly be replaced by
new money. Persons holding small
sums would be paid ruble for ruble, but
large holdings would be refunded at a
discount. The Premier predicted that
the bourgeoise, who are boarding large
sums of money, would resist the plan,
but he urged the Socialists to unite
"in this final battle necessary to econ
omic reforms"

cent sinking by German submarines Of

the basis Of his determined stand for
the bill now, rather than yield to the
opportunities of Congressman anxious
not to be embarrassed in their election
campaigns by passing the revenue bill
virtually during their campaigns.
What they have said to Mr.. AcAdoo
and to many Senators and Representa-
tives as WE'LL is that they will be
greatly at sea as to how far they can
help the Liberty Loan drive next fall if
they do not know beforehand just how
much Of their profits for the present
calendar year they will be compelled to
pay out in taxes.
1t is generally conceded that the bulk
OF the additional taxes, which probably
will amount to not less than $3,0O0,0O0,
900, will be levied on the profits of cor
porations and individual incomes. The
taxes imposed by the new bill, no mat
ter when it is written, will be payable
in June, 1919, and will be on the in
comes or profits of the calendar year of
1918. Men of large incomes or at the
head of corporations with large profits
actually are spending their incomes or
profits without knowing what part of
them the government may force them
to pay into the Treasury as taxes.
Many business men have represented
w tIl. X4C11QOO ClldL IL ClcY knew, IN
several months, just what taxes they
would have to pay out of this years
incomes and profits, they would also
know exactly how much of those in
comes and profits they could put into
Liberty bonds, and how much they
would have to retain for taxes the fol-
lowing June. If the plan desired by the
Congressional leaders, Of having a spe-
cial session of Congress after election
to frame the bill is followed they point
out that the next Liberty loan cam
paign will be concluded before the
slightest idea is given the business
going to be. Not knowing, the best
policy would be to play as safe as
possible, which would have a blight
ing effect Oh the Liberty drive.
While this is the potent argument
the business men are Just as interest
ed, and are bringing pressure to bear
on members, for their more selfish in
terest. That is. that they personally
want to know what Is to be done to
them in the way of taxation. They
want to get out of the field of rumor
and surmise and alleged "advance in
formation' as quickly as possible and
knowledge afforded by the text of the
law enacted and the Treasury regula-
tions regarding it.
This argument also has much weight
with Mr.. McAdoo, though it is not as
strong, of course, as the obvious effect
a policy Of delay would have on the
sale of Liberty bonds. But Mr.. Nc
Adoo has pointed out to the Senator's
and members of the House with whom
ne has conferred the difficulty of max
ing plans to collect the taxes and the
advantage it would be to the Treasury
Department to have as much time as
possible between the enactment of the
law and the actual collection.
