THERMOMETER DROPS
"A BELOW At DALLAS

Dallas. Dec. 15.-Dallas is covered
with ze inches Of snow as result Of
the heavy storm of the past five days,
and as result business of every de-
scription with the exception of that
OF the plumbers is at a standstill.
All day Wednesday and until late
Thursday afternoon no trains either
came to the city or left for other
points and the citizens had a taste of
what it means to 4'be cut off from the
rest Of the world" A crowd of local
citizens who were either in Portland
or Salem got as near home as Gerling-
er Tuesday night but were unable to
get farther and were forced to spend
until late Thursday afternoon in the
Capital city. A large number of trav-
cling statesmen and other travellers
were marooned here.
The heavy fall of snow caused sew
eral large roofs in the vicinity to col
lapse among them being the big pa
viIion at the Polk county fair grounds
and the livestock shed at the same
point. The roof on the big barn at the
F. r. Lynn farm near Perrydale also
collapsed but none OF his blooded
stock were injured.
Friday morning was the coldest ev--
er experienced in this section of the
state the thermometer registering IA
below zero at seven o'clock. Practic-
ally every home in the city is suffer-
Ing with frozen pipes but unlike the
east there is no shortage of fuel.

URGES REPEAL OF
EXCESS PROFITS TAX
TO SWAT Il. C. |

washington. Dec. 15.--Repeal Of
the excess profits tax law Is urged b.
William B. Colver of the federal trade
commission as one means of forcing
down living costs.
1T seems quite clear" said Coiver
In an interview, that one of the chief
centributing causes to the high cost
Of living Is the excess profits taxes.
Certainly 1t is both a burden and
temptation to business.
I'm the beginning the tax. as / un-
derstand 1t. is not revenue device at
all. During the war, when 1t became
necessary to fix prices, it was found
that there was wide range in the
cost of producing any given commod-
ity. Ono concern or a group of con-
Germs. 1t Was found, could produce the
commodity at a price which often left
no profit at all to other concerns or
which made it impossible for them to
operate. There was a wide range be-
tween high cost operation and low
cost operation. SO long as the theory
of fixing single price was adhered
to. Il was necessary to fix that price
high enough to bring into production
the needed output Of high cost oper-
alton.
THE excess profits tax was propos-
ed as a means whereby undue profits
WHICH might accrue to low cost oper-
ators could be brought back into the
treasury 10 provide in part the money
with which the government could pay
the high fixed prices.
"In the excess profits tax when a
concern has reached beyond what Is
conzddered to be its normal in profit
abieness. the surplus is partially TAX
en- from IL by increasing percentages.
What follows? Waste and extrava-
gsnce; or any effort to make az much
profit with excess profits tax in oper-
afion as though it were not in opera
tion- That is done by charging excess
profit tax charges to cost prices. 1t
means collection from all the people.

Reports to the effect that gasoline
of test lower than the Sc degrees spe-
cific gravity required by state law,
is being sold in Oregon. are emphat-
ically denied by William A. Dalzeil,
deputy state sealer of weights and

Women Must Consider Own
Problems.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Interna-
tional Congress of Working Women,
to be held In Washington on October
I'D mt the call OF the National WOm-
ems Trade Union League Of America.
affords the first opportunity In the his
tory OF the world for working womes
TO get together to discuss their com
mon problems and different phases
Of employment To the end that they
may inaugurate higher industrial
standards the world over says Mary

reau OF the United States Department
OF Labor.
Miss Anderson Is secretary 10 the
committee on International Relation
ships OF the Trade Union League and
In charge OF arrangements for the con-
ference
Miss Anderson continued 10 say
1.-THE United States can no longer he
isolated as nation. We have taken
our place In the family OF nations and
stand in danger Of either going up or
down with the rest OF the world in re-
gard TO industrial standards. To this
end we must never forget that by rails
Ing standards OF employment for the
l2,0000O0 women In gainful Occupa-
tOns I'm the United States. by guard
ing against child labor and giving
proper protection and care TO women
and babies, we are helping to raise
the standards, and that just as soon
as we fail 10 make our standards as
high ms they should be we will cause
suffering and hardship among women
and children either in our own coun-
try or In some distant unthOught ot
part OF the world.
"The Trade Union principle recos-
nizes the fact that working women
shall participate in the conditions gov
erning their employment. that they
shall use their own initiative Ia the
end that they may have control over
conditions under which they work
They all agree that because OF this
women must have their own part ia
the organizations that consider the
conditions OF women's work, whether
these be local national or interim

Thirty.four countries have been
asked to send women delegates from
