A new FIGHT

Director General McAdoo will

state commerce committee next
week to explain the workings of
the administration proposed leg
islation.

With the railroad fight about
to begin, congress faced re-
newal CT last sessions bitter battle
over war revenues. Senator
Smoot was prepared today to in
troduce his bill amending the in

of the war revenue law.
Smoot would take up to so per
cent of war profits, eliminating
entirely the present scheme of
excess profits taxes, determine
ton of which depends on the
amount OF capital.
Income Tax Same.
Nobody needs to know a con-
Germs capital to figure the war
profits tax my bill provides"
said Smoot today. War profits
are computed with reference to
five pre-war years, instead of
three. This takes care of the
lumber and cotton industries,
affected by abnormal conditions
in the three-year pre-war period.
my bill does not greatly
change the income tax schedules,
but it combines all the levies now
listed in two or three laws, so
that taxpayer can readily figure
out what he owes"
Shoots bill will be opposed by
administration leaders, who don
want any tampering with the
revenue law this session.

New Years
Omitted Press Leased Wire.)

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. g.
The new years resolution OF
Mike Millich, altho 1t landed him
in a California jail, today cleared
his conscience of terrible
weight.
Officials investigating the con-
fession Millich made at Jackson,
Cal, that he murdered Pete Nj
trocich at Gresham, Ore, after
a quarrel, this morning sent word
to Jackson to release the man as
his supposed victim recovered and
no complaint was ever made
against him.
Millich surrendered New Years,
saying he was wanted in Oregon,
and that his crime bothered him.
He stated that he fled after fir
ing at Nitrocich, believing him
dead.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
To hearten the Russians and to
thwart the Germans, the pro-
posed allied reinstatement of war
aims is likely to be fastened.
That was the general thought
in diplomatic quarters today, tho
American officials shed little
light on what is proceeding be-
meath the surface.
Those believing the statement
would be hurried argued that If
specific and SO framed as to ex-
pose Germany's duplicity at Brest
Litovsk it would stimulate the
Russians not to resume dickering
with the Teutons. And while
doing this it would put the final
crimp in Germany's desperate eff
fort to force peace on world I'M
willing to yield until it is safe
from future Teuton aggressions.
AS for recognition of the boil
sheviki government as "de
facto" regime, there appeared
more sympathy toward such a
step than at any time since
Lenine and Trotsky assumed
power.
However, Russian officials
warned against such a course.
They declared it virtually i'm
possible that Lenine and Trotsky
would ever take up arms against
Germany. And they believed that
the bolsheviki leaders will heark-
en- when the German, finding he
cannot get the maximum, endeav-
Ors to resume with a set of terms

SELLS, DEFENSE

In this issue We print a statement
from Hon. Sam R. Sells defending
himself against charges brought
against his record by Judge Dana
Harmon, and incidentally presenting
briefly an unimpassioned and conser-
vative review Of the political and Of
fetal conduct Of the latter.
That Sells has finally struck back
will be welcome by his friends who
know how yenemously and unjustly
his record has been assailed. And
Harmon's friends probably regret
now that he pushed the fighting to
this point The people have been
reminded Of some facts that Harmon
would prefer to have them forget.
and there has been no exaggeration
by Sells, no over-statement Of fact,
but under the circumstances, mod
crate, well-balanced reply, which
contains nothing but the truth, and is
a forcible reminder of things which
may have temporarily passed from
memory Of some people.
Sells, up until Congress took a re-
cess a few days ago, remained in
Washington doing his duty and ig-
noring politice. In this the patriotic
people of his district will support
him. He has been doing everything
in his power to aid the country in
this crisis, the opinion Of Judge Har-
mon to the contrary Notwithstanding.
And in the meantime instead Of hold
ing up his hands, and supporting him
in the performance Of his work, Har-
mon has been travelling up and down
the district trying to create dissen-
sion and strife, and, in an effort to
benefit himself, ii belittle and dis
credit Sells and his work in Congress.
Judge Harmon will find to his sor-
row that such methods will not re-
eeive the approval Of fair-mind d
people. Already his disappointment
has manifested itself in the violence
Of the assaults which he is now max
ing. "Whom the Gods would first
destroy they first make mad" And
Harmon's wrath, abuse Of lifelong
friends, and violent distortion Of the
truth foretell his defeat which is in
evitable.
