Wilson & Co.,, packers, have been vindicated of the charge of selling un- wholesome meats to the armed forces of the nation, by report filed Oct II by the federal trade commission. which brought the charges, and was made after an extended investigation
 My promise to the public that this company would be fully vindicated, made when the charges were filed. is made good by this finding said Presi- dent Thomas E. Wilson today. "On the face of the facts brought out after careful investigation into which the entire forces and energies of the fed eral trade commission were thrown. the commission could not do other than in a measure right the harm done this company by giving wide publicity to charges of such serious nature without an investigation.
 T stated then with all emphasis that the charges could not be sus- tained and that I personally held my self responsible to the mothers and fathers, wives and sisters of the boys in our army and navy that nothing but the highest quality products were being supplied to them by this com pany
 r Knowing the state of the public mind, I asked the public to withhold Judgment until the facts were all brought out. I demanded and was given an early and full hearing. personally had every charge investi gated down to the last detail and was convinced that we would be exon erated.
 My investigation convinced me bee yond any doubt that my instructions were being followed to the letter, to the effect that nothing but products of the very highest quality should be SUD- piled to our armed forces.
 More than 1900 of our own en- ployes are in service, and feel a per sonal responsibility to them as well as to the other hundreds of thousands of our boys in the service.

 So far as the German peace over lures are concerned. army officers hold that manifestly now is the time of times for a new and crushing blow. With the hope of early peace being dangled before the eyes of the war weary German troops, their morale will be at it's lowest ebb, it was said, while in the allied and American ranks the roundabout German admissions of defeat can only have given new zest for the fight.

Colter' s Open Reply

Hon. II. B. Wilkinson, Phoenix, Arizona.


 Phoenix, Arizona.
 De- Senator Wikinson:.
 Your open letter of October 21st published in to- days issue of the Arizona Republican is before me- That letter addresses me Dear Senator Colter' and in 1t you state Our relations have always been friendly notwithstanding some differences of view point May say to you that fully reciprocate the sentiments expressed by these phrases which to me are not mere formalities, nor do I believe they are tO yOu.
 As l would not give my personal friendship to any one who harbored disloyal thought to my country or who formed a part of any organization whose purposes were dsloyal to country, assume that you would not do so and assume that in addressing this letter to and couchng 1t in the language you have used you mean as preliminary to any discussion of principles involved in this campaign to give your personal testimony that am a loyal American Citi- zen, mconnected with, and opposed to any disoyal element l assume, further that your purpose IS to repudae the false and belous charges made against me in this campaign by many newspapers of the state particularly the Arizona Gazette, the Tucson Citizen and the Tucson Star This shall assume to be true until you publicly express yourself to the contrary.
 With the ground thus cleared from personalities, 1 shall be glad to discuss with you the differences of principles that exist between us. You and differ widely in our views of Government, but that IS no reason why we should not discuss principles. In order that we start fairly, am sending you by messenger copy of letter sent by me to the voters of Arizona expressing my views on the issues ln- volved in this campaign
 From the above you will that am taking each of VOLT statements as contained Ill your open letter. at its face value and enter upon this discussion of prn- ciples upon that understanding.
 From what I have said above, you will readily un- derstand that shall decline to enter upon the dis cssion of the merits or demerts of any individual of the conduct or misconduct of any individuals Such discussion could only serve one purpose and that would be to cloud the issues of the campaign to appeal the preudices of the people and not to their reason.
 You and alike have regretted the discord and dis trust sOwed among the people of our state through misrepresentation and vilification You and I know that each day it becomes difficult to find high minded men who will offer themselves as candidates because they do not care to have their names black ened under circumstances which preclude their an swering such creatures in the manner which they deserve.
 | am glad that you take the position that this dis cusson shall not be game of political strategy and that not your intention to set those political traps which so often dstort public discussion. May l say again. that from my knowledge of your character, I know such assurance is unnecessary.
 Sincerely yours

TWO-TH|RDS INCOME TAX WILL bE PAID
 BY LARGE FARMERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Surtaxes by the house on individual net incomes below s100,OOO would be low cred and those on incomes in excess of that amount increased, under to the war revenue bill adopted today by the senate finance committee.
 A tax of one per cent will be levied on incomes between 5000 and $6,000, with an additional one per cent sur tax for each s2,000 in excess of that amount up to s100,000 when the rate would be 52 per cent. A graduated scale is then fixed, under which surtaX of 65 per cent would be levied on net incomes exceeding S1,000,0
 The change in income surtaXes was the second decided revision made in the house draft of the bill at today's session, the committee previously hav- ing voted to eliminate the alternative system of taxing war and excess pro- fits in favor of a general rate of eighty per cent on war profits and a reduced tax on excess profits.
 The revision of income surtaXes, members of the committee said, will provide more uniform rate while the reduction in revenue will amount to less than s25,000,000
 Small Companies Protected
 As revised by the senate committee, incomes of from S100,000 to S150,000 would pay a surtax of 52 per cent, and those between -S15000 and 100000 would be taxed 56 per cent From IL 50 per cent: s3OO.000 to $500, 900 6S per cent; S500.000 to S1.00O,O00, 64 per cent; and above s1,000, 900 65 per cent Compared to the house rate. this would be an increase of per cent for incomes between. $100,000 and s200,000; eight per cent for those between s200, 900 and s300,000; nine per cent for those between s300.00o and s500.000 and six per cent from that amount to s1,000.- 900. Under the house bill sixty per cent would be imposed on incomes be- tween one and five million and 65 per cent on those above the latter amount If the s1,O45. .O69, 900 which the senate committees amendment is expected to yield, it was estimated s700,045, 900 would be paid by persons having in comes exceeding s100.000.
 In order to protect small corpor- ations, under the war profits schedule the committee late today inserted an amendment providing that in no case shall the tax be more than thirty five per cent Of the amount of the net in- come in excess of s3,000. and not in ex : cess of s2o,000, plus eighty per cent of the amount of the net income in excess of s20.000."
 This amendment. senators explained will prevent the taxes of small cor porations running up to the eighty per cent limit.
