NAVAL OFFICERS
 CONSIDER PAYING
 TAX PRIVILEGE.
Secretary Daniels Informs Senate Finance Committee That They
 Will Ask No Exemptions

Washington, September 2s.--Navy offi- cers generally have no wish to be ex- empted from the new income tax. Sec retary Daniels has informed Chairman Simmons of the Senate finance commit tee. In a letter made public today Mr.
 Daniels said that most officers regard it as a privilege to pay their share of war taxes and he urged that no exemp- tions whatever be extended them~in the pending revenue bill :
 The letter was prompted by an amend ment offered toI the bill which would have exempted from the income tax army and navy officers serving abroad. MT. Daniels said that in any case it would be unfair to differentiate between these officers and those serving at home and he asks whatever action Congress takes shall apply to all naval officers alike.
 If I may be- permitted to express an opinion upon the matter" said the secretary in conclusion, "it is my judg- ment that the income tax should be paid alike by everyone those In the naval ser vice and all other military service, as well as those irf civilian walks of life:,'

Legal Rates of Interest
 Must Be Observed by Banks

Washington, September 2s.-All banks and trust companies in which funds of the railroad administration, or of the various federal treasuries are deposited. must pay two per cent interest on deposits payable to check on demand and three per cent on time deposits payable after 30 days. In making this announcement today, Di- rector General McAdoo said an investi- gation recently made shows that rates of interest allowed by banks on rail- road deposits range from two to five per cent. and that the higher rates paid had been used by some banks as an excuse for excessive. rates charged to customers.
 Banks designated as railroad deposit taries, Mr. McAdoo said, will be ex- pect4d to faithfully observe the inter- est lew1 of their respective states, and not n chRrge rates of interest in Gx- tesS of those permitted by law,

SIX KILLED AND SCORE INJURED IN
 FLORIDA STOR M
Fifty-Mile Strip Devastated, Causing Damage to Citrus Groves Esti-
 mated at Half Million Dollars

Tampa, Fla, September 29,-Reports from the storm-stricken district along the west Florida coast today made no additions to the loss of life, which re- mained at six. The injured number about score and only one of those, Mrs. Ed Garretson of Clearwater, whose three little children were drowned, Is seriously injured. The wires are still down and the country roads so blocked with fallen trees that it will take sew eral days to clear even the main high ways over the strip about 50 miles long and 10 wide which was most af- fected. The center of the, blow was at Clearwater and Tarpon Springs.
 Many houses in each of these towns and at coast resorts were unroofed and a few blown down, but by far the great est property damage is to the citrus fruit and groves. It is estimated that the total loss will exceed half a mill lion dollars.
