FEWER ECONOMIES BAN.

The majority of the conferees are
believed to be agreed that the most
effective weapon of the league will be
an economic boycott made possible
through a blockade enforced by an in
ternational fleet to which naturally
Great Britain and the United States
would be the chief contributors. But
some members Of the committee are
said to hold out for the substitution
of moral for physical force. These
members declare that the main OBJ
ject of the league really is the pro-
motion of an understanding between
nations that will render wars unlikely
rather than forcible prevention of
wars after they have been caused by
political or economic jealousies. Those
who favor an International police
force agree to this premise, yet hold
that the league must possess some
weapon in case a big power will
dominate the league. Efforts are now
being made to dispc this fear, which
is held to he unfounded.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The biggest
tax bill in American history was sub
mitted to congress today for final ap-
proval.
When Representative Kitchin, chair
man of the house ways and means
committee, presented the conference
report on the war tax bill to the
house he announced it will gather
from the people 5000, 100000 in taxes
for the fiscal year ending July ], 1919,
and in succeeding years little less
than $4,000, 100000
NO ONE ESCAPES
While big incomes and swollen pro-
fits bear heavy taxes, the man of
small and moderate means has heavy
burden.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
has publicly expressed the fear that
it 'impcrils business" which, he says
is facing a very difficult year
kitchin announced today he plans
to call the conference report up Sat
urday. He expects approval in one
day. The senate will probably take
it up next week if Kitchin gets it
through the house as quickly as he
hopes. Senate approval probably will
take longer.
In addition to raising about
$4,000, 900 in taxes the bill
gives every soldier, sailor and marine
and all women nurses in the American
forces "A bonus of $50 upon discharge.

that Mr.. Ideler will give Kauai an
other of his delightful violin concerts
on Monday evening at eight o'clock,
