CONGRESS HELD
BY TAX ISSUES
Houston's Call for Action Bar
to Adjournment.

WASHINGTON. March 1S-Possibility
of the adjournment of congress prior to
the meeting of the national convention
was precfuded by the action Of Secretary
Of Treasury Houston In demanding the
adjustment of the nations tax system at
this session.
The decision Of the supreme court ex-
empting stock dividends from income
tax levy; the demand made upon con-
gress for a bonus for former service
men and the demand made by bankers
of the country for an adjustment of the
tax system have caused preparation on
the part Of the house ways and means
committee for drafting a tax bill as q
substitute for the act passed during the
democratic control Of the house.
The original plan Of the republican
leaders was to abolish the excess profits
taxes and to place a fiat sales tax Of
/ per cent on all sales Of commodities.
General taxes on incomes, known as
normal taxes, would remain the same
under the plan proposed:
Retroactive excise taxes on stock div
idends would be constitutional, Wayne
Johnson, solicitor for the treasury de-
partment, told the house ways and means
means Of taxation to meet the losses
caused by the supreme court decision
that stock dividends are not taxable as
income johnson said the excise taxes
would have to cover the same period Of
times as that affected by the court de-
cision.

POLAND NOW RIVALS
PLIGHT OF BELGIUM
Children Chief Sufferers In Land
Stripped Of Necessities,
Says Relief Worker.

Poland is in the destitute state for
want OF food and clothing among the
poor that Belgium would have been
during the war. had there been no COM
mission for relief In that country, ac-
cording to DR.. Vernon Kellogg, Ameri-
can Relief Administration official, who
recently returned from Warsaw.
DR. Kellogg was a member of Mr..
Hoover's staff In Belgium, and at the
conclusion Of hostilties. entered Pc
land as the Hoover emissary in charge
Of food relief. He first entered Poland
In 1915, a few months after the Ger
man occupation. His report of starva-
ton, disease and suffering that exist
ed at that time is one Of the most
narrowing documents In the records
of American relief work overseas.
DR.. Kellogg made the following
statement regarding the work after the
armistice:
with Warsaw as our headquarters,
we began operations In Poland In jan
uary, 1919. and within @ few weeks
there was established q steady impOr-
iation OF food into that country. Tons
and tons of II came from overseas
through the Port of Danzig.
1T was impossible to do all that
the administration wanted to do, be-
cause the need OF Poland was too great,
but It was agreed that enough food
should be sent TO Poland to care for
the four million people until the great
agricultural districts could again pro-
vide for them
But In addition to these four mil
lion people who 80 pressIngly needed
relief. there was another call for relief
from source that could not be re-
sisted the children OF the land Many
OF these were orphans, hungry, ema-
clated, destitute and diseased. So the
American Relief Administration added
to its work by instituting q system Of
feeding these children. In few
months million and a quarter Polish
children were getting a free meal ev-
cry day Of special food prepared TO
counteract the effects Of their previous
undernourshment."
To finish the job eight great organ
izRtions have united under the name
OF the European Relief Council to raise
the funds necessary to care for the
food needs and the medical needs of
the 100000 children Of Eastern and
Central Europe. These organizations
are the American Relief Administra'
tion the American Red Cross, the
American Friends Service Committee
(Quakers), the Jewish Joint Dlstrbu-
ton Committee the Federal Council Of
the Churches Of Christ in America, the
Knights of Columbus, the Y. NJ @. A.
