TAX ON LUXURlE
SURVIVES DEBATE

Washington, June 2.-Efforts of
all republican and democratic lead
ers. rush, through the house the re-
peal Of. the so called luxury taxes
failed Saturday after a six hour de-
bate. .-.
Scattering opposition, the strength
of >. which . surprised the leaders,
finally forced adjournment, although
Chairman Joseph w. Fordney Of the
ways and means committee, in sub
mitting the repeal, expected its pas
sage in two hours.
Admission by, Fordney that the
luxury section is expected to yield
$1OO,00O,O00 brought out many op-
ponents to repeal. The bill will be
called UP again Monday.
! Representative Claude Kitchen,
Harry e. Hull, I. Hampton Moore,
Nicolas Longworth and William r.
Green spoke for the repeal, claiming
the tax would be difficult Of collec-
tion and that it was passed primarily
to curtail the manufacture of lux
uries during .the war.
Asserting that the tax of 10 per
cent Is only on extra high priced
goods, opponents led by Representa-
tive Thetus w. Sims, tennessee,
claimed the government should not
lose the revenue at this time and
that persons who purchased the ar
tfcles above the tax exempt figures
are able to pay the tax. Sims was
backed by Simeon D. Fees, Ohio;
Gilbert N. Haugen, Iowa, and Robert
Y Thomas, Kentucky.
Thomas directed his attack against
smoking jackets, claiming that wear
ing one. is mo way to smoke any
way"

900 the plants Of the Bemidji Iron
Works and, Short Turn Tractor were
completely destroyed by. fire early
Sunday morning. 1t Is believed that
the flames were caused by forms
which had been used in casting Sat-
,urday afternoon, and SO quickly did
the fire spread that the department
was unable to save any part OF the
building. A building near the Iron
Works used as a section crew board
ing house was slightly scprched.
. The fire originated in the foundry
and quickly spread to the blacksmith
shop and to the assembling plant OF
the Short Turn Tractor company.
One completed tractor, four new
motors and other parts were de-
;stroyed, the loss amounting. to $6,-
1860, with but $1,000 insurance.
The loss of the Iron Works will total
more than $4,000, insurance amount
ing to $4,000 being carried.
One of the most serious conse-
quences of the fire is the loss of i'm
portant patterns, both the tractor
company and iron works losing de-
signs Of much value. Both firms also
lost practically all correspondence.
The books Of the Iron Works were
removed from the safe by G. W.
Harnwell, a stockholder, yesterday
being hut sliGhtly damaged. The
