INCOME TAXLAW REVISION URGED
 BY OTTO H. KAHN
By Associated Prs.s


 New York, January 13.-Revision of the federal income tax law, to bring the levy "witEin the bounds of moderation" and afford relief lin the present era of eco- homie disturbance was urged in an ad- dress here tonight by Otto H. Kahn, New York banker.
 Speaking before the council on foreign relations, Mr Kahn declared the three chies factors in upsetting present day economics were the worlds demand for America's raw materials and manufac- tured articles, imitation and faulty taxa tion. The worlds demand for American materials and services will slacken gradu- ally, he said; tbe cure for imitation is a slow process, 'but the remedy for faulty taxation can be secured at once when Fever it pleases Congress and the adminis- tration to seek that remedy and apply it. :"
 Citing an extreme instance in which person in the highest taxable class would have to make nearly F per cent with a corporate security or in his business to get the same return he would receive by investing in a tax-free municipal, state or federal bond, Mir. Kahn reached these conclusions:
 'No bond-foreign or domestic-can compete with the attractiveness of tax exempt bonds to those in possession of incomes of any considerable size.
 ''The owners of medium sized or large incomes have gone on strike as far as investing in corporate securities is con- cernod. thus greatly diminishing the quantity of funds available for private en- terp-ise.
 '"The American investment market for the tune being has been largely destroyed; the shrinkage in the value of existing cor porate bonds. which is to the largest ex- tent attributable to the income tax, amounts to billions of dollars; the free flow of capital and the normal working of the investment market are absolutely basis elements for every kind of trade and industry; and we cannot have return to normal conditions of trade, prices, etc, until OUT investment market will have como within measurable distance at least of normal conditions, which is impossible as long as our present income tax re- mains in force"

GRAND JURY FAILS

Louisville, January 1s.-Dr. Christopher G. Schott, Louisville physician, whom the Jefferson county grand jury today re- fused to indict on the charge of murder, feels that his theory that Elizabeth Grif- filth, his office girl. shot and killed her self has been vindiated.
 Truth will prevail" he is auotoed as having said when the grand Jurys re- port was read in court.

For the Good of
 the Community

tion of the roads:
 Steam wagon.
 Invented and owned by
 Joseph R. Brown of Minnesota.
 Manufactured by
 "John A. Reed of New York. Landed at Nebraska City from Steamer, West wind, July 12, 1862.
 Disabled and abandoned seven
 miles out.
 Stories of the event printed in the news papers of that day say that the steam wagon" passed through the streets of the little Nebraska city pulling a string of several wagons in which scores of prom inent'' citizens rode
 When the wagon was seven miles out from Nebraska City crank shaft broke and it was abandoned, although thou sands of dollars had been expended in it's building.
 What a different tale might have been told had Nebraska and the balance of the country had good roads in those days. That wagon was probably the forerunner of the automobile of today, hundreds of thousands in which are in daily use in the United States.
 The present-day automobile would be just about as impracticable without good roads as was the invention of Joseph R. Brown, which had such disastrous end. Without good streets in Birmingham and good roads in Jefferson county it is highly improbable that there would be 10000 pleasure and 2000 auto trucks in use here. And with the mileage of good roads multi piled by ten the number of cars and trucks would be doubled and probably trebled with year or two.
 Not only would hard roads increase the number of motor driven vehicles, but they would add to the value of farm lands in the county; make it easier for the farmer to bring his products to town and take his necessary purchases home. They would bring the rural schools and churches nearer to the farmer, thereby enabling him to educate his children at home and to take the family to church on Sunday without driving or wading through mud in winter and dusty roads in summer.
 Good roads would increase the taxable property in the county very largely, make the lands more salable, add to the pros perity of the people and make for better citizenship and more contented and hap pier people. They would go far towards making Jefferson county self-sustaining in the matter of living necessities that are produced on the farms.
 Yours for upbuilding,

GAY AND POPULAR RESORT
Biarritx, In Southern France, Noted
AZ the Scene Of European FRI
voIity and Fashion.

One Of the gayest and most popu
lar watering resorts of Europe is Biar-
ritz in France, about forty miles from
the Spanish border. Its nearness to
Spain has colored its language and ar
chitecture somewhat, giving 1t the pic
turesqueness Of both countries. 1t In
n beautiful place. with its cream-col
ored, red-roOfed villas, dark pine trees,
winding walks and crescent Of white
sandy beach guarded at either end by
high, rocky bluffs, rising abruptly from
the sea. Before the war 1t was the
scene Of frivolity and fashion, rival
ing Monte Carlo in its gambling, dane
ing and display. 1t was favorite
resort with one of England's more
playful kings in his lighter moments
Indeed. its main street Is called Rue
Edouard VII In honor of him.
The war brought sudden change
Of mood to Biarritz. Its gambling ca
sinos and hotels were turned into hos
pitfalls for wounded French, and later
American soldiers. Grim conveys of
warships passed close to its shores on
their way through the Bay of Biscay
Numerous ships were torpedoed In
sight of the shore by the German sub
marines lurking along the Spanish
coast. The coast was heavily mined,
and from time to time the detonation
of mine would shake the town.
