, he would propose low tax rate for the initial test He suggested rate of one-third of 1 per cent estimating that such a levy would produce ap- proximately $650 000000 a year. this yield, MT. Kahn said, was based on :he assumption that conditions would te normal when the tax would become ef- fectve in 1921-22.
 CORPORATION PROFIT TAX
 MT. Kahn also proposed a tax of D per cent on net profits of corporations, a tax which he said he was confident would produce at least s1OOO OoO0 900.
 The tariff revision which he TO- posed, the witness said, ought to add approximately $350,o 900 to the im- port revenues now obtained annually, making that source yield nearly $700, 000 O00
 Under ihe revised income surtax schedule proposed, MT Kahn estimated the government would derive between $S50000, 900 and $1,000, ,000,000
 Questioned as to rates for the re- duced surtaX, MT. Kahn said that rres- ent surtaX rates were driving rich in- Vestors to place their money in tax ex- empt securities, most of which. he de- ciared, were sold on q basis to yield 5 F per cent It was, therefore. his be- Her, he sald, that by fixing the SurtlX charge at or near SS 3 per cent as a maximum, the treasury would rec tive as great a yield, if not greater, than UT der the present tax.
 To complete his programme of re- vision, MT. Kahn urged changes in cer- tain of the internal and excise taxes. y Increasing some and reducing oth ars but collectively so arranged as to pro- duce annually approximately $1 900, - o00 000
 MT. Kahn told the committee ne saw no economic objection to a tax on un- distributed corporation profits. He added that income surtaXes should bs continued as an economic and social principle, and that the taxation of cor poration profits whether divided or undivided was closely akin to income taxes.

Day In Congress
SENATE
By Associated Press

Washington, December 21.-Senator Dial of south Carolina said today he in- tends 10 ask the Senate committee on agriculture to take up. after the holi- days, amendments to the cotton futures act which he has introduced in the Senate. The amendments provide that cotton delivered under contract shall be of, or within, three grades for which standards are established by the Secre- tary of Agriculture, except grades pro- hibited from being delivered on con tract" The present law, he said, allows delivery of cotton in one or more grades at the option of the seller.
 Requests for the exemption of Cuba and the Bahama Islands from the pro- posed immigration exclusion act will probably be asked by Florida interests, Senator Fletcher of that state, said to- day. Produce growers on the east coast, principally in and near Miami, the Senator said, import considerable labor from the Bahamas for planting and marketing. the spring crops to east ern markets. This labor, he added, does not come into competition with other labor, for it is not possible to trans port laborers from northern Florida or adjoining states to Miami for a few months only

Soon to Select Material.

In a short time IL is likely that
Coach Harold Evans will start
scouting material to represent the
Perth Amboy high school on the
basketball court during the coming

Will do likewise IN preparing her

1t will be remembered that the
boys and girls teams of Amboy
high last season made one of the
best showings made by the repre-
sentative court teams of the Grim
son and White in a good many sea-
sons, and the success was laid to
the work of the coaches and the
willingness of the players to battle
hard for victory. The boys team
look part in the ,semi-inals for the
state championship but were elm
mated by the Neptune high school
team, who in turn were eliminated
by Asbury Park.
Coach Evans will have Silver,
Kochek, Siadkus. Forman and
Hughes from last years team
around which to build the repre-
sentative team for this season,
while Miss Burns will build her
quintet around Miss Anna Handler

will make az good a showing. II not

ment armory, and a number of star

weight who appeared in the main
event at the last show of the Audi
forum Sporting Club which was
held on last Wednesday night, is
training hard in anticipation of a
hard fall campaign. The bantam is
being booked by Manager Mooney
Poulson to appear in a number of
New York clubs and also at a num-
Der of boxing clubs in this state.
Toney will appear in one of the
main bouts at a Paterson fight club

his opponent Is now being picked
by the matchmaker.
1t is the plan OF Matchmaker
Doesserick of the local fight club to
arrange a bout between Young Leo
(Joey. Leon) and Kid Toney. This
bout would interest local fight fans,
as the hackers of the two bantams
spend a great deal of their time
comparing the chances of one
against the other.
These two boys met in Palace
hall where Joe McNulty's Lotus
Club held forth some time ago. Leo

Heart Sock Is
Dembsey's Own
Pet Body BlOw

The HEART-SOCK! What Is It?
Page Jack Dempsey, IT'S keeper.
1t is fundamentally a blow leveled
just below the heart.
The effects of this particular kind
Of a sock produce a willing sensa-
ton, a slipping away of interest. The
hope spark fades from the eye of
the bird on the receiving end. All
dreams of crowns and big purses
peter out.
The heart-sock trademark post
pones all aspirations of gents who
would cop the title and enter the
movies for some easy kale.
II Got Willard.
This was the blow that sent Jess
Willard on his way to defeat at
Toledo. It took all the fight out
of him. He lost heart and interest
in Dempsey's game after he took
one.
The same thing happened to Billy
Miske when he received this brand
of fistic token from Dempsey at
Benton Harbor.
Miske felt the heart-sock in the
first round with the champion. He
brought down his guard TO the tender
spot and cried out with pain. Demp-
sey let him live out the round.
ToppIed Miske.
! In the second round the champion
shot the same kind of a blow through
which careened Mike across the ring
and down for half the count. Hav-
ing taken all the fight out of the
challenger the champion finished the
job In the third round by applying
the workmanship to Miske's chin.
That's what the heart-sock actual
Nv does when applied. 1t is the most
deadly punch ever employed by any
fighter.
I Body Smash.
The old line Of punchers may have
experimental with II, but they didn't
have the dynamite behind 1t that
Dempsey possesses.
That's what makes Jack the ring
terror. He has found that nothing
slows an opponent down quite like
a body smash. When a couple of
these are landed the receiver hangs
his jaw over and that's all Dempsey
could ask of any man.
And Dempsey will be making all
the boys eat their crow before an.
other year II they insist on taking &
shine at the heavyweight title
paraphernalfa.
More Powerful.
When Dempsey made a cripple
out Of Willard many were skeptical
that 1t was just one of those in
cidents that happen once ina life
time. 1t was questionable whether
he could pastime in the films and
then return and show the same kind
of a sock.
That state Of affairs no longer
exists. Dempsey has shown that if
there is any difference in his tactics
and his power fourteen months ago
and now 1t is that he is more OF a
tiger as a champion than as a con-
tender,
Like Bambino.
If the Salt Lake slammer gets the
bookings which his manager, Jack
Kearns. has in mind right now,
therein be a bunch of boys hopping
around on crutches before another
years pages have been torn OF the
calendar.
The heart-sock Is a sure cure for
ambition, hope. dreams, and other
forms of malady suffered by birds
who covet the throne which Dempsey
has busted of.
Like Man o. War and Babe Ruth
ne has no more worlds to conquer
that Is. the whole pack OF contenders
look like rank setups anyway you
measure them.
