KESLER PROPOSES.
SALE OF GARBAGE
IN CITY BY The TON
More Revenue Sought After
Present Contracts Expire,

The question Of city reduction plant
has again been brought up by Mark
Kesler, commissioner Of public safety,
with his proposal Of a plan whereby the
city may derive an income from is
garbage each year.
The garbage problem OF Oklahoma
City is one which can be given much
thought by the people" said Mr. Kes-
ler MANY inquiries come to me as to
why the city does not erect reduction
plant This is the reason The gov
eminent is appealing to the people to
conserve food, surely no greater con-
servation can be accomplished than by
raising food All Of the city garbage Is
under contract 10 two men who feed
their hogs with the refuse OF course,
this can be looked at IN two different
lights. the companies 10 whom thl, garb.
age goes are privately owned and the
city actually loses money on lts garbage.
The contracts with these two men bring
into the city treasury a little over 81 200
each year, and last year It cost the city
more than $4,000 to haul the garbage
away from the homes II the city did
not charge itS IS cents month for
hauling away this garbage. it would be
in bankruptcy very soon Last year
there was collected from tho residents
276Ojb for hauling away the garbage.
and even at that, the city lost money
There is no reason why this cannot
be placed upon a paying basis. In 1915
Cleveland cleared more than Sl45OOO on
its reduction plant We want no re-
duction plant during these conservation
times, but It stands to reason that the
garbage of this city IS certainly worth
more than Sl.2O0 a year to any com
pany. As soon as the present contracts
expire, let others submit bids for the
garbage and sell it by the ton. Then
we can sell il either to an individual
company or to the farmers for their
hogs, because the people Of the city are
not permitted to raise hogs within the
city limits"

WATTERSON RETlRES
FROM COURIER JOURNAL
To Continue as editor Emeritus" "
Has Served Louisville Paper
:. Fifty Years.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August T.
Though Henry Watterson will retire
as active editor of the Courier-Journal.
which yesterday passed into the con-
troll of Judge Robert Worth Bingham
of Louisville. he will continue to con-
tribute to it's editorial columns from
time to time and will serve the paper
as editor emeritus, title chosen by
himself
This announcement is contained in
an editorial in the Courier-Journal.
of which he was one Of the founders
and Of which he has been for a period
Just two months less than fifty years
its editor.
His, editorial is largely given to
sketching the beginning Of his paper
in the stormy days Of the reconstruc-
tion period and telling something of
the things for which it has stood OF
himself he says:
"Preferment Of every sort he has
disdained. 1t Is little. perhaps to say
that no unclean dollar has ever
touched his hand, but 1t may be said
that no dollar has ever reached 1t
that was not fairly earned and may
not be publicly accounted for. He is
not a rich man and has never sought
1T may not be dreamed overweening
vanity If he takes some pride in the
circumstance that he has served at
the head Of a leading daily news
paper longer by many years than any
other person connected with the
American press in the larger cities of
the United States."
Concluding. he says: The world war
will leave none Of US where we were.
Its decorums and tramplings have al
ready made startling changes. Who
could have forecast an alliance be-
tween England. France. Italy and the
United States against Germany? When
shall it end? It can only end with the
overthrow of kaiserism. Nothing
short Of holocaust for Potsdam will
suffice. Now, and ever, to hell with
autocracy. Now, and ever. to hell
with the Hohenzollern and the Haps-
burg"

ALTERNATIVE PLAN
FOR LEVY FAVORED
Treasury and Committee Dif.
fer Over Basis of Taxing i.
Excess Profits.

Provisions Of the income tax sched-
ule are being considered today by the
| ways and means committee drafting
the eight-billion-dollar revenue bill.
Because the ways and means COM
mittee differs with the tax experts
! Of the Treasury Department on the
| method Of taxing excess profits. de-
cision was postponed until after Sec
rotary McAdoo has considered the
system tentatively agreed upon in
committee. An alternative method Of
taking pre-war profits as q tax basis.
where they would return a larger
revenue than the excess profits tax,
was favorably considered.
Chairman Kitchin said that under
of the corporations would pay in
creases from so to 400 per cent. while
one-tenth, those who made large
profits before the war. would escape
increased taxation.
DR.. T. S. Adams. chairman of the
Treasury's excess profits advisory
board. was in conference with the
committee yesterday.
Hinges on Matter of Deductions.
Chairman Kitchin at the close Of
the session announced that the COM
mittee and Treasury would get to-
gether" on the excess profits tax as
soon as Secretary McAdoo has gone
over the system tentatively adopted
by the committee. The plan of super
imposing strictly war profits tax, In
addition to the excess profits tax, did
not develop much support in the COM
mittee.
The excess profits levy, upon which
the Treasury and the committee
differ. hinges largely on the matter
of deductions to be allowed. The
English plan. for which the Treasury
contends. allows the deduction to be
made by corporations to correspond
to the amount Of the profits in the
| pre-war years 1911-13. The effect is
| that a corporation making big profits
| before the war can deduct a corre-
spending amount from the income OF
| the taxable year and then be taxed
| only on the balance. The committee
plan ignores the pre-war profits and
allows deductions to all corporations
| based on the invested capital. The
alternative plan to be substituted by
! the Treasury, If the Treasury finds IT
will produce more revenue, is based
upon strictly war profits.

end OF the battle line, however, laid
his case directly before the high COM
mand instead of before the emperor. AS
a military proposition it was the view
Of Gen. Ludendorff and his associates
that the blow should be struck in the
north, and without taking into ac-
count the personal issue between the
two crown princes the high command
decided to attack in the north. The
emperor is said to have assented
rather reluctantly, while the German
Gown prince maintained that the main
drive should be made farther south.
Decision having been made. the big
offensive opened in the north in
March and was given a double check
first east Of Amiens. and second east
of Hazebrouck. This failure gave tho
German crown prince strong support
for his plea that the drive should be
made against the French lines and
apparently the high command gave
its consent,
