TAX BILL FIGHT
STARTSFRIDAY
Senate Conferees Likely to
Win Most in Coming
Struggle.
IS TEMPORARY
New Congress Almost Sure to
Revise 1t in Important
Features.
SPECIAL Despatch to THE suA.

SPECIAL Despatch to The suN.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The revenue
bin will enter It's fourth and stormies,
stage Of consideration Friday, when
the conference managers OF the
House and Senate will meet for tbs
first time TO plot out their scheme OF
adjustments OF the numerous and
fundamental differences between the
examples of their handlwork.
The House. which adjourned to-day
after five minute session. will desi=
nate as its managers Of the conference
Representatives Kltchin IN. c.
Rainey ull0 and Dixon Gnd.), Demo
Gratis. and Fordney (Mich) and Moore
(Pa) Republicans.
Senate Cut Total Hard.
When the House reassembles the bill
will be reported as having passed the
Senate and at once these confereee
will be formally designated. Thereupon
begins the arduous work OF reconciling
the views OF the two legislative bodies
as to what shall be the final product
OF their labors.
Among the changes wrought by the
Senate committee the most important
is the reduction in the amount Of the
gross levy Of the proposed revenue
law. The House had planned to pro-
duce $500, 0,0oe,00O out Of the sched-
ules OF taxes contained in its bill.
In the three months that the Sem
ate Committee on Finance and the
Senate itself deliberated over the biil
the war came 70 its abrupt conclu-
sion; the occasion for this stupendous
drain upon the wealth Of the nation
ceased in a measure II exist.
The bill which the conferees will
take up is framed TO exact total levy
OF S5,57S 100000 in the next fiscal
year through incomes, Individual and
corporate. and war profits Of industry
during the calendar year 1918. For
the following year the levy on these
items OF revenue productivity will be
laid on a basis OF two thirds OF that
laid upon 1918. and under the terms
Of the proposed law this will be the
levy for ensuing years.
or course. it is not to De supposed
that the law as now framed will con-
tinue 10 be the revenue law OF the land
for more than two years The Con-
gress has changed its political conf
plexion. The changing conditions
throughout the country must make
many changes necessary within the
next twelve months.
Dual System Likely TO Win,
But following the behests OF the Ad-
ministration Congress has framed it's
legislation in this fashion and until the
new Congress can settle down TO the
work of revision this law must stand.
The House conferees have vet to be
sounded on the question OF this dual
system of tax levies. That they NAV
refuse to accept the Senate dictum in
this respect, however. Is unlikely. for
the House. like the Senate. still re-
mains in the power Of the Democrats,
and the Administration pleas are lis
tened to with even greater respect In
the House than in the Senate. II Is
fair to be assumed that the modifica-
ton which the conferees will effect
will incline more to the lines OF the
Senate than TO those OF the House bill.

and after arriving could find
no words to say. After sitting
for an hour he was given a

CALOMEL SAL|vATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish
liver and you lose a
days work.

There's no reason why person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when
so cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for cal
omel.
1t is pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and
can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-
morrow. Don't lose days work. Take
spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and YOU will wake up feeling great.
No more hiliousness, constipation, slug
gishness, headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts bet
ter than horrible calomel your money II
waiting for you.

BIG CROP DRIVE
Hamp Williams federal foo,

Hamp Williams federal food
administrator for Arkansas,
says a bigger campaign than
has ever before been under
taken in this state will be
launched soon for diversified
crops.
Every farm in Arkansas he
says must raise enough food
and feed products to care for
its own people and stock. No
farmer or planter must raise
just one exclusive crop. The
food question next year will
be more serious than ever be-
fore.

NURSE RISKS LIFE
Crosses River on Ice to Attend
Sick Child

Batesville Jan. 20.-This
kind of weather calls for sac
rifices of different kinds. One
of the most conspicuous in
stances that has been brought
to light was shown here re-
Gently. Miss Neva Cullins, a
trained nurse of Little Rock,
who has been visiting relatives
across White river few miles
from Batesville was called by
Charlie Maxfield to come to
Batesville and attend the bed
side of his daughter who is
dangerously ill. The river was
frozen over and the ferryboat
could not be operated. Miss
Cullins walked about four miles
to the river and found it fro
zen. She walked across and
landed safely ON this side. Miss
Cullins did not know when she
started what minute the ice
might give way, and her cour-
age is deserving of special COM
mendation. Miss Cullins has
taken examination for the Red
Cross work and is waiting her
call by the government.

to see how very much can be accom-
plished along the usual lines in view of
the necessities and demands OF the War
Department. The leading Columbia
athletes were among the very first to
leave the university for military service
and as a result it has been very dffi-
cult to keep UP the athletics organiza-
ton and the athletics interests. What
ever can be done In this direction will
be done in order to preserve a continu-
ity or organization and tradition to fall

CORN TASSEL RUNS
SENSATIONAL RACE
Practically Left at Post, He
Races After Field and Wins
Stake by a Nose.

After. being virtually left at the post
Corn Tassel, the four-year-old imported
gelding owned by Richard T. Wilson,
Jr.. won the Amityville Handicap, the
feature at Belmont Park yesterday after
noon. He ran the best race OF his great
career, and aided by a wonderful finish by
Jockey Lyke got up in time to earn the
premier honors by a nose. st. lsidore
was second, ony an inch or two In front
OF Hank O'Day.
As the trio sped past the judges II
seemed like a triple dead heat, and II
was not until the official numbers were
posted that the crowd knew which had
reached home first.
Corn Tassel was much the best. but
to win he was compelled to use every
speck of speed and stamina he pos
sessed. At the end he was staggering
from the effects of the strain. SO tired
was he that II Is probable he will not
be able TO race again for many days.
Seven high class horses made UP the
field, with Corn Tassel the favorite at
to 8. When Mars Cassidy released the
barrier all except Corn Tassel were on
their toes. He was wheeling" with his
head turned toward the grand stand. As

majority OF those present Corn Tassel
was hopelessly beaten and n great many,
including his trainer. Thomas Healey
expected Lyke to pull up his mount.
But the jockey. who has been riding
some very good races and some very
bad ones recently. started Corn Tassel
after the field. In the run down the
backstretch he gained a little ground
but not enough to put him in con-
| tending position. because st. Isidore, the
fast miller belonging to Edward Airing
| ton. was stepping along at the head OF
| the field at a terrific pace.
Ridden by George Walls. st. Isidore
| skinned the rail- around the turn and
entered the homestretch two lengths
In front of Hank O'Day. which was a
length ahead OF Corn Tassel. Down the
homestretcli ST. Isidore bounded along
at his best pace and n sixteenth of q
| mile from the finish looked like an easy
victor. Then Lyke went to work WITH
whip and heels on Corn Tassel and
Rice urged Hank O'Day to his greatest
speed. Gradually they crept up on the
leader. but Walls kept st. 1sidore goins
| and II was not until the very last JUMP
that I.yke WAS able to lift Corn Tassels
nose In front.
