The little villages near the city were always
kept clean by the residents sweeping before

little towns surrounding it.

The failure of the buying public TO
show enthusiasm over the semi annual
sales of high shoes has caused many of
the local retailers who had prepared to
show the advance spring styles in their
stores and windows either the latter
part of January or the early part of
February to postpone this exhibition
until time more favorable. They in
sist that they will first get rid Of some
of their present stock before they sta rt
showing any of the new creations.
Women seem to have made up their
minds that they want only low shoes.
and no matter what the inducement
they refuse to buy high footwear. One
merchant declared yesterday that some
of the high shoes ne is offering at
sale are priced SO and $4 below what
they cost him. Stocks Oh shoes on the
hands of the retailers at present are
so large that they could stand pat and
not buy any high shoes for next fall
and winter If it were not for the fact
that general reduction in prices is
expected at that time.
The brogue oxford for men and women n
gives promise of continuing as popular
during the summer months as it has
been during the fall and winter For
summer wear the retailers will offer a
hight brogue similar in appearance to
those which many men and women have
worn throughout the winter, but more
suited to the requirements of warm
weather. At few of the stores they
have been showing these lightweight
brogues for the last few days, featur-
ing them primarily for wear at South

that foreign exchange had become the

the last six months and unless ad-
justed soon Commercial chaos" would
overwhem international trade, Sena-
tor Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado,
urged i'll a speech to-day the reestab
lishment of the old ratio between gold
and silver and the creation of inter
national bi-metalism.
Europe, bereft of gold and bur-
dened with an enormous debt, Senator
Thomas declared, faces the problem o.
rcestablishing and reconstructing her
foreign trade and would welcome any
system Of international stabilization of
silver and gold values that could be
accomplished without endangering the
financial structure of international
commerce or credit.
The volume of paper money IN the
world is out of all proportions to the
value of specie, he said. and in this
condition lies the seat of the inter-
national exchange crisis.
"We may, indeed we must" Senator
Thomas added, lend our credit to
those whose trade we need, but we can
not, save by mutual agreement for the
tiX.ty of exchanges. removed the gam
bling element from international trade,

Tax Exemptions Bill
4 Helps Non-Residents
Division of Income Derived
From Within and Outside of
State L. Authorized
Efom q Staff Correspondeuj

ALBANY. Feb. 1C.-To meet the com
phcatlons growing out of the alleged
discrimin nation in the non-re resident sec
tion OF the new state income tax law,
now being tested before the United
States Supreme Court, Senator Fred
erlck NJ. Davenport to-day introduced a
bill allowing non-residpnts who earn
their living or part of it in this state
the same exemption as residents. The
exemption is TO be apportioned upo,l
net income from sources within ths
state and the net income from portions
without the state.
In explaining this Senator Davenport.
who is chairman of the Legislative Tax
Committee which drafted the income
tax law, said that q nonresident tax
payer would be allowed such a propor-
ton Of the personal exemption as his
net income from sources within the
state bears to his entire income. com
puted AS in the case Of a resident tax
payer.
He said that while now the law i'm
poses the tax on the entire net income
OF non residents, the ATTORNEY General
ruled that non-res sdent need not file
return unless his net income from
sources within the state exceeds 81 900
II single and $1,000 if married
1T is Tor that reason he said, Chat
a non-rcsidcnt taxpayer is to be re-
CURED to file return If his net income
both from within and without the state
equals or exceeds 5000 If single or
$1,000 if married"
Because of the proposed change in
the law the State Controller is to be
authorized to grant an extension of
tune within which non-residents NAV
file returns for 1919 to not later than
September /.
