 BOTH PROGRAMMES COMPLETE l Both the programmes for 1919 and
 1920 taxation. except for minor amend
 ments to be made when the committee
 reconvenes next Friday virtually were
 completed today. After Fridays meet
 ing a reprint of the bill will be made
 and Chairman Simmons intends to re-
 port it to the Senate sometime next
 week. The republicans announced their
 intention to oppose inclusion of 1920
 rates in the bill and may file minority l report.

 enue was adopted without change. It's
 provision for reduction from I2 to s
 per cent in the normal rates on in-

 l M'ADOO DOES NOT APPROVE 1 Chairman Simmons said Secretary Me- l Adoo does not approve the 1920 pro- 1 gramme in it's entirety, as he desired l higher normal rates to continue on both individual and corporation incomes and also opposed continuation of the excess profits taxation plan Among less important decisions of the committee today were reception of proposals by Senator Shoot to impose a 1 per cent tax on gross retail sales and to exempt corporations with less than $1.000, ,00000 capital from excess profits taxes. The committee also con sidered requests to abolish the floor or stock taxes on tobacco, but decided
 finally upon their retention.

Indian families have forsaken the

remains is to make OF the Indian a

CAMP DIX. y. J.. Oct. 21.-It's har-
vest time here. and the crops from
the demonstration garden of the Ma
tional War Garden Commission are
being taken to cover. The demonstra-
ton garden has demonstrated that
the soldier can raise his own food to
a great extent and that food Z. o. b.

to any home or camp.
Estimates announced at a harvest
luncheon show that despite a late
start the crop value will be $25, 900.

den possible. With 5000. 900 men in
the army and at a cost OF 40 cents a
day to feed a soldier. food valued at
100000 will have to be handled
every twenty-four hours.
Indications are that the fine show

acres will be put under cultivation at
various camps next year. In addition

SENATE AND HOUSE
TO MEET ON RENTS

A further conference between the
Senate and House on rent profiteer-
ing in the District OF Columbia will
be held as a result OF action in the
Senate this afternoon.
This opens up again the possibility
that some amendment will be adopted
to the food production bill for the pur-
pose Of stopping profiteering in rent
ais in the Capital.
The Senate refused to ADOPT the
motion of Senator Gore to recode
from the Pomerene Amendment for a
rental administration for the District
Had Senator Cores motion been
adopted the result would have been
to pass the food production bill with
all reference to rentals in the District
stricken out:
After refusing to adopt the Gore
motion the Senate, without rol call,
adopted a motion OF Senator Smith of
Georgia that the Senate further insist
on the Pomeree amendment and agree
to a further conference. Conferees
were appointed and the bill was sent
back to conference accordingly.
Senator Gore expressed the opinion
the House conferees would not yield
and that nothing would come OF to-
days action. He wanted to adopt a
motion that the Senate adhere TO fits
position. The effect OF this, as he
pointed out. would have been o put
IL up to the House to acc - the
Pomerene amendment o rto defeat the
entire food production measure.
Senator Gore held that the House
would not take the responsibility of
defeating prohibition by blocking the
passage OF the food production bill.

BR|TONS CONSERVE
COAL SUPPLIES

LONDON, Oct. 21.-The final report
of the coal conservation committee of
the ministry OF reconstruction. which
was appointed in 1916 to consider
what improvements could be made in
the methods OF mining and using coal.
is constituted by the reports OF a num-
Der of subcomittees to which different
parts OF the inquiry were intrusted.
The report of the power generation
has already been published, but II is
now reprinted along with the reports
of the mining, the geological and the
carbonization subcommittee, subject
to reservations made by individual
members in signing the reports.
The main committee adopts as its
own the recommendations made in
them, though 1t expresses the opinion
that the economic problems raised by
certain suggestions concerning the
manufacture of coke in the carbon
ization subcommittee report and by
the appended memorandum by Benja-
min Talbot on steel manufacture lie
beyond the scope of its reference.
The geological subcommittee urges
the need for the exploration OF our
coalfields to be placed on a more sys-
tematic basis and for the results to be
more completely and more correctly
recorded, and it suggests the compile
ton and periodical revision OF a six
inch geological map, machinery for
the Interpretation and recording OF
the results OF bore-holes and other
underground explorations, and the
comforting upon a department OF
state OF power to put down bore
holes.
Impressed with the number OF diff
ferent government departments that
are concerned with mines and min
erals, the mining subcommittee in its
interim report is in favor of the vari-
Gus functions they perform being
transferred, with the exception OF the
geological survey. to a separate min
istry, presided over by a minister with
seat in Parliament In its final re-
port this subcommittee deals with
waste of coal at the pithead. loss OF
coal underground. and cost OF produc-
ton.
