eating committee today that his
urgent appeals for an adequate

quickly convinced himself of the
necessity for establishing real
advance base headquarters of the
navy department abroad with an
adequate staff to make possible
full cooperation with the admiral
ty and co-ordinating all activities

action for five months" said Ad-

washington, March 17-Income
and excess profits taxes cannot be
\ reduced until after 1922, Secretary
| Houston today wrote the house
| ways and means committee, urging
an immediate simplification OF
! these taxes and substitution Of a
| HAT tax on gross profits instead of
the graduated rates of 20 and 40
per cent.
Only very moderate reductions
may be made IN the calendar year
of 1922, collected in 1928. the sec
retary wrote. Under the plan of II
flat tax, the letter stated lit would
be possible to adopt a declining
rate, say of 25 per cent for the fiji st
year in which the change is In OPP
GRAFTON, 20 per cent for the second
year, and 5 per cent thereafter
Unless action is taken at the pres
ent session of congress, Mr.. Hous-
ton saidl existing taxes must con
tinue to be collected on the basis
OF the present law until the close
Of the calendar year 1922" Such
condition. he wrote, lis contem-
plated with the gfavest apprehen-
sion"
Immediate losses to the govern
ment under the supreme court de-
cision that stock dividends are not
taxable will approximate $l05,000.-
600, the letter stated Mr.. Houston
added. however, that the ultimate
loss would be only $4,000, 900. as
much of the original loss will be
regained through the sale of stocks
and subsequent taxes on them.
The secretary claimed that $35,-
000,0 collected in 1918 would
have to be refunded and $40, 000.-
600 would be lost on 1919 taxes.
Aggregate losses for 1918 and
1919 under exemption to personal
service corporations will approxt-
mate $t2,000,000, involving 2,50Q
corporations, the secretary wrote.
adding that the need for iinnedtate
legislation to meet this situation
arises mot so much from the pos
sible loss OF revenue as from the
obvious undcsirability of permitting
$500 corporatins and their stock
holders to escape the taxes upon
the corporations and thus imposed
upon individuals"
Chairman Fordney, of the house
ways and means committee, COM
menting on Secretary Houston's
suggestion for u flat tax to supplant
the present graduated system, said
the repeal of the $4,000 exemption
granted under incomes would re-
suit in lowering the average tax
from % per cent to approximately
II per cent.
present taxes are based upon
the disposition Of profits he said,
while under the proposed flat tax
there would be a straight assess
ment regardless of the disposition
of the taxable amounts"
Representative Kitchin, demo-
crat, of North Carolina, however,
said the proposed change in the In
come and excess profits taxes
would switch the burdens from
the war and peace profiteers to the
little fellow, least capable of bear
ing the burden" Present tax laws
have the approval Of President Will
son, former Secretary McAdoo ana

are working satisfactorily"

Berlin, March II (Evening) (by
the Associated Press) After hold
ing the reins of power for less than
five days, DR. Wolfgang Kapp, the
self-appointed chancellor and die
tator, has retired from office and
control, He resigned today and an
official communication explained
that the chancellor considered his
mission fulfilled when the old gov
ernment decided to meet the most
essential demands addressed to it,.
II was also moved to this action
by the extreme necessity of the
Fatherland, which demanded un-
ion against the dangers of bolshev-
ism.
The real circumstances of Kapps
retirement are still shrouded in
mystery. An important factor un-
doubtedly is to be found in the de-
liberation of the under secretaries
and imperial council yesterday
which Major General Won Luett-
witt attended. The views of this
conference were that both Kapp
and Won Luettwita withdrew in
order to terminate an intolerablc
position.
Won Luettwitz agreed to this but
when he returned to the chan
cellory he allowed himself to be
persuaded to change his, mind and
retain office To him has been
delegated the executive power by
the former revolutionary chancel-
lor and 1t is difficult to say what
will happen now that Won Luett-
witz remains the military dictator
at Berlin.
1t is reported, however, that
Gustav Noske. minister of defense
in the old (EherD government is
coming here tonight and Won
Luettwitz perhaps will transfer his
new found authority to him.
In conference with the foreign
Yesterday Kapp's
press chief made play with the
danger. In second
conference an attempt was made TO
conceal the fact that the Berlin
was likely to be of
only short duration.
Although the general strike dealt
this government a mortal blow, the
decisive fact is that Kapp and ms
had no political pres
tge, their government being built
only on machine guns.
The statements at these confer
ences gave a strange impression
and caused a suspicion that the cry
of alarm about the bolshevists was
to the announcement
Of retreat. The chief of the press
bureau warned the correspondents
against showing themselves in the
streets as u communist revolt was
expected hourly.
That any kind of compromise is
out of the question now is undoubt-

Constantinople, March II (by the
Associated Press) .-Constantinople
was occupied this morning by al
lied forces under Gen. Sir George
r. Milne of the British army. This
long looked for military demon.
stration by the allies against Tur-
key was carried out with only one
untoward happening. serious
clash at the war office. where the
Turks resisted the allied troops,
An exchange Of shots resulted
in which several punjabs Of the
British East Indian forces and It
few of the Turks were killed.
The excitement caused by the
occupation quieted down before
darkness. which brought absolute
calm.
The landing of occupation forces
was carried out under guns of the
formidable allied fleet anchored in
the Bosphorus. The British dread
naught Benbow was moored at the
Galata quay, her guns trained on
Stamboul. Another man of war
faced the arsenal in the golden
horn, while all other warships in
the Bosphorus were standing by
with their decks cleared for ac-
ton.
Except in the instance stated,
however, there was no resistance to
the allies. The population, in fact,
showed little alarm, nor was there
any sign of panic except in one
section of Stamboul, as command
ers of the allied troops brought
their forces ashore.
These forces included 1000 blue
jackets and marines from British
warships and contingents from all
the allies represented. Indian de-
tachments having Moslems on
their rosters were, among troops
taking part.
Comprehensive military and
naval plans had been made to
carry out the allied measures and
precautionary steps taken. Last
night number of Turks and other
persons regarded as possible dis
turbers of the peace were arrested,
including the commander of the
Tenth Turkish division.
The dead walls of Constantinople
were placarded with a proclama-
tion by Major General Wilson of

Roanoke, Va, March l1.-De-
clarinE the republican party stands
first "for the honest, efficient, and
economical business administration
of the countrys affairs" Will IL.
Hays, chairman of the republican
national committee, in an address
before the state republican conVen-
tion here today pleaded for "patri-
otism in peace as we'll as war" and
asserted that the country has
slipped along under this demo-
cratic administration without an
adequate thought of the problems
that would confront us until the
shock of peace was here, just as
we did before we entered the war"
Outlining the principal things
for which his party stands, Mr..
Hays said:
81 suggest that above all things
the republican party stands first
for honest, efficient and economi-
cal business administration of the
country's affairs. 1t was formerly
said that honesty is the best policy
as matter of business. Honesty Is
the best policy as matter of NOR
ais, In like manner there is but
one kind of successful politics, of
faithful efficient, honest and eco
nomical administration. The only
successful politics in the situation
today is to find out what is best for
the country and do 1t first, We
want more men in politics for
what they can give and not what
they can get.
"I suggest the republican party
stands for the development and
execution of plan for the reduc-
tion of taxes, with the repeal OF
taxes which kill initiative, and the
spreading of war debt over a large
number of years.
81 believe there shall be devel-
oped a better relation between la
Dor and capital with justice to both
and with justice to the public and
third side of the triangle which
must not be forgotten,
eve feel that there shall be an
administration of law and order
everywhere in the nation.
"The party shall measure It's
steps forward as the new needs OF
the nation with eyes always ahead
but with its feet always on solid
ground"
Asserting that there are two
natural inquiries from women new
in politics, what does the repub-
lican party offer the women? and
what does the republican party
stand for?" Mr. Hays declared.
1.-THE republican party offers the
women everything we offer the
men.
"The only just rule for a politi-
cal party" he added. "is that the
rights of participation in the man
agement of the party's affairs must
be and remain equally sacred and
sacredly equal. The republican
women in the country constitute

Elective Officers Whose Sal

Phoenix, Ariz, March IA
move by state officials to rectify
( a condition whereby, they said
| many of their appointees were re-
| cetying higher salaries than they
themselves were allowed by law
| came into evidence today with a
statement by d. f. Johnson, mem
ber of the state corporation com
| mission, that a group of officials
| is preparing a salary increase Din
for submission to vote OF the peo-
| pie.
The group, Of which Mr.. john
son is chairman, is representative
Of state and county elective otil-
cials, he said. Their salaries are
fixed by the state constitution
Salaries of appointive officials may
be raised by legislative act. Salar-
les of elective officers. Mr.. John-
son said, are the same as elght
years ago when Arizona entered
statehood and adopted the consul
tuition, whereas salaries of many
appointive officials have been IN
creased.
AS a result he said, most elect
i've officials of the state receiVed
$4,000 a year, but the land com
missioner's assistant, an appolntee'
receives $500, The state en-
gineer receives $4,000 a year, but
frequently has men on his payroll
whose salaries are larger than his,
according to Commissioner john
son. Attention was called also to
two appointive officials of the
board of state institutions whose
salaries are $4,000 a year.
Mr.. johnson said the tentative
nlan provides for a salary budget
by which the governor and justices
of the supreme court would re-
ceive $500 a year, $500 or $4,000
a wear for the secretary of state
and $4,000 a year for most other
elected officials.
Although the group of which
Commissioner Johnson is chairman
is mostly democratic, the chairman
quoted Allan B. Jaynes, state re-
publican chairman, as having said
that both parties ought to be in
terested in the movement as the
present salaries were too small to
attract tHt killu VI men "hphi eAiS
peopIe want in the offices.
The salary question came into
public notice in semi -official form
last December IL, when the state
fax commissioners and the states
county assessors met in conven-
tion at Yuma. At that time 1t was
nronosed to ask Governor Camp
hell to recommend to the recent
snecial session of the legislature
that measures be taken by that
body to make up a new salary
schedule for submission to the peo-
nle Governor CampbelPs deter
mination to confine the session to
one issue prevented the consum-
nation of the plan, SO the present
undertaking was substituted.
The group met late Tuesday at
ternoon at the corporation COM
mission chambers, appointed Corn
missioner johnson as cnairman'
and effected an organization. a
committee was appointed to draft
al set of recommendation for SUD
mission to the people and another
meeting is to be called whenever
the committee is ready to report.
If the proposed measure carries,
its benefits will be available to
present office holders after next
