Sacramento, Cal.-The sentence OF
Thomas J. Mooney, sentenced to bs
hanged on December 13 for the deaths
of ten persons killed by bomb expo-
sion in San Francisco during pre-
paredness parade in July, 1916. was
commuted by Governor w. D. Stephens
to Imprisonment for life. Court action
to save Mooney from the gallows had
been exhausted, the Supreme Court Of

sentence.

"Originally, in January of this
year." said the governor, Il received
letter from the President asking ME if
1t would not be possible to postpone
the execution of Mooney until he could
be tried upon one Of the other indict-
ments against him. Inasmuch as an
appeal already had been taken to the
supreme court of California, which ap.
peal itself acted as stay of execution,
there was at that time no occasion for
action on my part. take it that the
President was not correctly Informed
as to the status of the case"
In explaining why he had not felt
called on to act previously the gov-
ernOr said:
1.-THE case as presented to the CALI
fornia courts was that Of murder, with
out further evidence of motive than
the impossible tenets of anarchists,
whose sympathies for the German
cause in the war are well known.
Their wild pacifist theories fitted into
the widespread activities Of the Kali
sers agents in this country.
"a number Of persons Of pronounced
anarchistic tendencies were arrested
shortly after the explosion, and of
these Warren X. Billings was convict
ed and sentenced to life Imprisonment
and Thomas J. Mooney found guilty
and sentenced to be hanged. SO long
as avenues of appeal to the courts re-
mained open to Mooney, and he was
availng himself thereof, deemed it
improper for executive authority to In
terfere." i

TAX rates FOR 1920
Income lmpost s Fer Cent. in
Place of Present II Per Cent.
Plan Before Senate Committee Is to
Reduce mposts to Fit
s4,ooooOo,O0o Limit.

Washington. THE 1920 plan of
financing government expenditures
was submitted to the Senate Finance
Committee by Senator Simmons. Ac-
ton was deferred until members of
the committee have had fuller oppor-
tunity of studying the changes in the
tax rates proposed.
The plan embodies cutting the in
come tax rate for individuals, the in
come tax rate on corporations and the
excess profits rates in such manner as
to limit the collections to not more
than $4,000000,000.
Here are the new rates suggested
for the 1920 bill:
l. Individual income tax:
A normal income rate Of per cent.
with the provision that on the first
$4,000 Of income, after deductions have
been made, the rate shall be only 1
per cent In the pending bill the nor
NAL rate is u per cent, and per cent.
on the first $4,000.
2. Corporation income tax:
A rate of per cent. on the net in
come of corporations in place of the II
per cent. now imposed.
5. Excess profits tax:
A rate of 90 per cent. on the amount
of net income not In excess Of 20 per
cent. of the invested capital, and 40 per
cent. on the amount in excess of 20 per
cent. of the invested capital, and 40
per cent. on the amount in excess OF
20 per cent. The pending bill provides
for so per cent. on the income below
20 per cent. and 60 per cent. on the eX-
cess, with the added tax of so per cent.
on war profits; the so per cent. Eax
will go out Of the 1920 bill.
The experts Of the treasury depart
ment will be asked to go over these
rates very carefully to see whether
they will accomplish the reduction
which Secretary McAdoO says should
be made in this years bill 50 that busi-
ness may know to Il certainty how
much will be required of 1t during 1920
in the way of taxes.
A new provision TO permit deduc-
tions should a taxpayer discover that
during the taxable year 1919 or 1920
that he sustained d loss during the pre-
ceding taxable year, or has sustained
a substantial loss resulting from any
material reduction Of the value of the
inventory for the preceding taxable
year, was adopted.
