ular bit of legislation as aholishing the
luxury taxes should be reserved for the
special session which the republicans
would control.
In calling this session the president
urged the repeal of these bothersome
taxes, but after three and one-half
months they are still ON the statute
books. and the republican leaders are
unable to figure out the proper method
of getting rid Of them. So far as the
political value of the repeal-when it
comeS-is concerned it will be almost
nil, party leaders agree because of the
inability Of the republican majority to
hang together.
The republican claim of saving of a
billion and half dollars in the first
six weeks of the special session, was
quickly dissipated 10y the democratic
leaders; SO much SO that it has not
been advanced since. The fact remains,
as the republican congressman regret
fully admit, that the only luxury tax
they have repealed has been that ON
ice cream and soda, and their partisan
colleagues in the senate decline to pass
that, SO glory is literally efrervescent.

WHY CONGRESS DOES
NOTHING TO GET RID
Of THE LUXURY TAX

Washington, d. C.-The republican
majority in congress appears to con.
tinue in state of quiescent agitation.
over the question of taxes and revenue.
The senate majority is worrying but lit
tie for two reasons. one is that Boies
Penrose, chairman of the committee on
finance is still busy reforming Phila-
delphia, and, incidentally, fighting for
his political life and prestige; and has
no time to devote to such trfles as
carrying out republican campaign prom
ises anent reducing the cost of living. In
his absence none of his party colleagues
dares move. The other reason for SEN
ate apathy is the conflict over the
Leageu of Nations.
Consequently all the worry is trans
ferred to the heads and shoulders of
Representatives Frank W. Mondell. re
publican floor leader and Joseph W.
Fordncy, chairman of the ways and
means committee, who are responsible
primarily for such legislation in the low
er house of congress, where all such
bills must have their inception.
These gentlemen apparently have
good cause to worry as the republican
house already has appropriated two bill
lion dollars more than the taxes and
other forms Of revenue will bring in for
the fiscal year.
Having pledged the people to reduce
or eliminate the so called luxury taxes,
and being unable to do 50, the republi.
can leaders now find themselves in the
position of having to retain these taxes
and add few more in order TO meet the
governmental eXpeditures they them
selves have voted.
The irony of the situation is made
particularly jarring because it was on
these luxury taxes that the republicans
had planned to play their very best par
tisan politics. The democratic house

RATE FOR COTTON GINNING
ON SEED BASIS" FINALLY
FINED BY THE COMMISSION

Oklahoma City, Sept. 1G-Fxing the
rate for cotton ginning, ON seed ba-
sis, at 40 cents per hundred pounds, so
cents for snapped cotton and GO cents
for "bollcs," the corporation commits
sion has disposed OF the dispute between
cotton producers and ginners which has
been in progress for several months.
Growers asked for rate ON the "lint"
basis, but the commission in its order,
says: TO require ginning on the lint
basis would have tendency to discour-
age the painstaking and efficient far
mer. since the farmer who gathered his
cotton in careless and inefficient
manner would receive the same reward
as the careful and efficient farmer who
used great care and diligence in pick
ing his cotton and for the further rea-
son that the ginner obviously renders
more service at proportonately great
er expense due to wear and tear on his
machinery i'm ginning l,S00 pounds of
dirty cotton, which makes a 500-pound
bale of lint than he does in ginning l.,
500 pounds Of well picked cotton which
also makes j00.pound bale of lint and
on the lint basis would receive the
same compensation for ginning in each
instance. Therefore the commission
finds that the ginning of cotton under
present conditions on the seed basis is
the most just and equitable method to
all concerned.
In defining the difference between the
grades of cotton the order says: Snap
ped cotton is defined for the purpose Of
this order to mean all cotton pulled
before frost or all pulled cotton after
frost showing 25 per cent or more Of
lint. Pulled cotton after frost showing
less than 25 per cent lint shall be Dol
