Senate Agrees to 100000
Program Of Rehabi-
tatiOn.
INCREASE TAXATION
The Total As Estimated Will Bring
the Amount Necessary to Meet the
Federal Appropriations

Richmond, Aug. 28.-After another
day during which three sessions were
held, the senate committee on finance
finally agreed last night on basis
of taxation for roads which promises
to meet with little OPPOSITION in eithe:
house and thereby bring the special
session Of the general assembly to an
early termination.
The outstanding features of this
plan which bids fair to be recorded
as the final result Of the calling Of
the special session are as follows:
A seven cents increase in the gen
eral property tax and fifty per cert
increase in the automobile license tax
to be applied direct to the stat"
highway. system.
A 100000 appropriation yearly for
two years for State aid to county
roads.
An appropriation of s625,O00 year
,ly for two years to be applied to the
state highway system.
An increase of $206,0OO in the mer-
chants license tax and the franchise
tax, exclusive Of the tax on the earn.
ings of railroads.
An increase of S712,000 in the in
come tax.
With. the increase Of seven cents.
the general property tax is now ten
cents providing a total from this
source of $1,250,0O0. The increase in
the automobile license tax will De
$450,G0O, which, together with the
other two items, will yield a total CT
S2,617 900 for the first year of the
two-year period in which the federal
aid will be met by the state. The
automobile license tux will increase
$4,000 in the second year, making
the total for the two years $5,2S6,o0O.
In addition to these items, the state
will receive an increase from the
railroads of S479,OOO, under the exist
ing tax. This, in addition to sevcra!
other items enumerated in the suo-
committees report, such as soft drink
manufacturers and mineral water
concerns, will provide the S4,65O,O09
asked by the state highway commits
sioner to meet the federal appropria-
ton, the 100000 for state aid to
county roads and leave surplus II
the treasury for other purposes.
The house amendment fixing the
salary of the state highway commits
s;oner to be from $500 to $4,000 was
stricken out by the senate COMMITTEES
ON roads and internal navigation yes
terday and the original text providinc
that it be from $4,000 to $500 restor
ed. The bill was reported after be
ing most carefully perused am
amended in several MINOR particulars

HE HIDES BEHIND AGE
New Mexican's Assertions Unquaii-
fiedly False, North Dakotan Tells
Him. q


ico. replying in the Senate yesterday
to ar address Tuesday by Senator
Mr.. Cumber, Republican, North Da-
kota, criticizing the Foreign Rela
tions Committee for amending the
-Shantung provision of the peace
treaty and did not know its contents
were the most insistent that it be
ratified Immediately.
Socn after he began speaking, Sen
ator Fall was interrupted by Senate:
Nelson, Republican, Of Minnesota, who
asked what he proposed to do with
the treaty.
"Therc is no use attempting to chop
this treaty into mincemeat," declar2i
the Minnesota Senator. "If that is
the Senator's object he will find that
mincemeat will be wiped aside by tha
Senate"
Senator Fall said he would not ente :
into discussion with Senator Mel
son in Difference to the latter's age.
whercupcn Senator Nelson rejoine !:
"You needn't consider by age, bu:
just consider me the youngest man
in the Senate. l am neither in my
second childhood in this matter NO.;
in the Mexican matter"
Later interruptions of Senator
. 'all's speech by Senator McCumbec
led to one of the bittcrest exchanges
since the treaty debate began. Fac
ing each other at a distance Of 4
few feet, the two Senators raised
their voices and pounded their desks
TO emphasize their declarations.
When Senator Fall said that Seaa-
Tor McCumbcr had defended on tn,
ground of justice the award to Japan
of goods stolen by Germany from
China" Mr., McCumber sprang to h:s
feet and shouted:
Il deny that state in toto as be-
ing absolutely and unqualified falls.
have never taken the ground thu
the act of Germany was fair ard
moral"
"You did defend the ShaneQng pro-
vision" retorted Senator Fall, "and
claimed that Japan had the righ: <
AXE Shantung.'
"And she derived that right unde!
| solemn pledge to return it, but yor
leave that out of your statement" re-
cined Senator McCumber.
Senator McCumber said that as Sen
,tor Fall was prescribing for the cen
luct of Senators, he should take some
f his own medicine, adding, and yoc
will take it before you are through.
Referring to statements by Senator
McCumbcr that the committee had IL
tended to slap Japan in the face
and make trouble by the ShartunE
amendment, Senator Fall said he was
"weary" of having his motives i'm
,uened and of the efforts of some TO
make the nation take the treaty "iust
IS it came from the White House
typewriter with no more considera-
ton for the American people than was
:hown the Germans when they signed
1t the point of the bayonet."
"If | err" he continued, 81 err SIM
-erely. err through an excess .:
oatr;otism. I err because | am
American"

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass Of Salts if your Back

Meat forms uric acid.

If you must have yvnr meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
ity, who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their effort to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then YOU suffer with a dull mis-
cry in the. kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full >of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
| you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids.
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for q few days and
your kidneys viii then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
iithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness.
