SENATOR FAVORS
TAX EXEMPTION
ON SMALL HOMES

Exemption from taxes on all build
mEs or improvements on land in the
District of Columbia Up to a value
Of $1,000 OF possibly $4,000, is favored
by Senator Sterling OF South Dakota.
In an address before the Georgetown
Citizens Association last night, the
Senator declared that while he was
not q single taxer, he thought It
would be wen for the association to
take up the question of exemption on
real estate improvements to be used
for home purposes up to a reasonable
maximum. This would stimulate
building, buying and home owning,
he declared, and would beautify the
city. 1t would relieve the home
builder OF part of the burden that he
now must carry.
The Senator declared that we had
less to fear from the German arms
than from German propaganda and
intrigue. Bolshevikism in this coun-
try must be crushed he said. A law
will be passed in the next few days,
he continued. which will make it
criminal to incite strikes or cessation
Of important war industries in this
country.

ed, it has been said that a price could readily be fixed which would control the world market. Commits sions have been appointed by the British and French governments which buy not only for their own governments, but for the private spin ners at prices fixed by those com missions. Both commissions are CO., operating with the president in this matter.
 While opposed to any steps that would result in the fixing of cotton prices, Southern senators at the con ference urged the president, if he was determined to take this action, not to delay it longer than possible. They said that in view of the present un- certainty cotton markets are stagnant and many growers are holding while awaiting definite announcement by the government.

WAR REVENUE BILL
 PASSED BY HOUSE
Vote on Eight Billion Dollar Measure is Unanimous and Enthusiastic-Will Speed Bill in Senate.

Washington, Sept. 20.-The House today passed the war revenue bill, the largest in the history of the na- tion, designed to raise more than s8,000, 100000 during the next year.
 Passage of the bill was unanimous. A formal roll call, demanded by Ma jority Leader Kitchin, recorded 330 ayes and no noes, which, announced by Speaker Clark, was greeted by a roar of cheers and applause.
 Ali possible speed in the bills course through the Senate is assured. The Senate finance committee has concluded formal hearings. Desire for the bills enactment before the November elections has been ex- pressed by leaders of both houses, but is considered doubtful.
 Consideration of the measure by the House today was brief. An amend ment by the House ways and means committee which drafted the bill, extending the depletion allowances to gas and oil wells and mines to include timber and other natural deposits was adopted.
 Just before the final vote, Repre- sentative Longworth of Ohio. Repub- lican, characterized the bill as mighty good job" aid said it would "show that the American heart is grimly set on carrying the war through to the finish and is the best answer the American Congress can give to the whining peace pro- posal from Austria"

PRESIDENT HAS
 DECIDED 10 FIX
 PRICE OF COTTON
.ctiou is Assured and Only Amount is Not Decided-Sec- retarv Houston Said to Have Recommended 25c as Fair.

Washington, Sept. 2O.--President Wilson will fix the price of cotton, n,acing the last of the principal com modities necessary in the prosecution of the war under government regula- +ion. despite strong pressure from the Southern states. In addition to de- .ermining the price, the government will take over control of the distribu- ton of this years crop.
 The decision of the president, defi- nitelv announced at conference this week with senators and representa- lives from the cotton states, became known today. Plans to carry out the decision are said to be under way.
 Agitation fer the fixing of 3 price for cotton has been prevalent for sev- eral months owing to the rapidly mounting cost of cotton products, and the belief in many quarters that the staple shoudl be placed on the same basis as wheat and other essentials, the price of which has been fixed. The principal factor in the action of the president is said to have been the shortage in the present crop estimated at between 4,0000O0 and 5,OO0,0O0 bales.
 The price to be named by the presi- dent or the means of controlling dis tribution have not been decided upon. The president is said to have empha- sized at his recent conference that "a fair price" would be fixed, but did not indicate what this would be.
 Before price fixing was first men, toned, cotton sold at 3S cents pound. Secretary Houston, it is said, has recommended that 25 cents would be fair Southern senators deny this would he fair price and declare that because of the increased cost of production a figure above 30 cents should be named.
 In determining a plan for controll- ing cotton distribution, it is said the president is considering a method of cooperation with the French and British governments.
 As the needs of these governments and the United States represent more than 50 per cent of the crop produc-

terday may sign it at any time they are at the state capitol.
 It is the desire of the convention that it be given the fullest publicity, and committee on publicity was au- thorized, of which President T. M. Mehaffy will be chairman.
 Judge J. H. Evans secured the adoption of an amendment in the clos ing hours of the convention providing that "the law-making power may re- duce the maximum contract rate of interest to eight per cent per annum and the rate when no rate of interest is agreed on to six per cent per annum."
 An effort to make state, municipal, improvement and other bonds subject to taxation, by striking out the ex- emption was defeated by vote of 49 to 2S.
