Agitation Is Increasing

By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, Sept. 2o-It is now
a practical certainty that there will
be no reduction OF federal takes on
business for the calendar year of
1920, payable next year, and that no
relief can be expected until after the
inauguration OF new president.
Any changes IN the law then ef-
tected will apply to the calendar
year 1921.
Although agitation for repeal OF
the excess profits tax is increasing
in volume, leaders of both parties
agree that there is little probability
Of any action in this direction or in
the direction of any other funda-
mental revision of the revenue laws
at the approaching short session OF
congress, which meets i'll December.
Want Protective Tariff
While the administration and a
majority of the republicans are in
favor of repeating the excess profits
tax. the democrats and republicans
are at variance on proposed substi-
tutes and, moreover, the republic
ans are insistent upon revising the
tariff upward for protective as we'll
as revenue purposes if any revision
is attempted.
For these reasons any bill EN-
bodying fundamental amendment
which might be passed at the short
session would be likely to be vetoed
by President Wilson. Moreover,
with the appropriation bills to be
disposed of, there will not be suf-
ficient time during the short session
to frame and pass any far-reaching
revision. ..
Harding Promises Extra Session.
Senator Harding intends, if cleo
ted, to convene special session OF
congress, probably in April 1921, to
enact protective tariff and revise
taxes downward. This will involve
consideration of repeating the ex-
cess profits tax and placing the
revenue production Oh an entirely
new basis.
If Governor Cox should be cleo
ted and the democrats returned to
the control of congress. revenue
legislation probably would be post
poned until the new body convened:
In the event the democrats should
carry the presidency but lose con.
gress, both parties probably would
rather legislate under Cox than
under Wilson.
Election of Harding and demo-
cratic congress would put crimp
in republican plans for revision OF
direct taxes downward, and the
tariff upward.
Inasinuch as the indefinite date for
returns of taxes on profits

WESTERN UNIVERSITY BOARD
MEETS.

The Board of Trustees of Western
University held special meeting in
Ward Hall Board Rooms last Wednes-
day to discuss arrangements for hous-
ing the multitude of students seeking
admission who have already crowded
the Institution to its capacity. Bish-
op H. B. Parks president of the Board
presided and a large number of the
trustees were present. The Church's
report shows nearly $4,000 on hand
and after a general discussion of con-
ditions, resolution was adopted to
build a new Dormitory addition to
Ward Hall to contain forty rooms at
an estimated cost of 100000. Stone
will be Immediately taken out of the
quaries on the grounds for the erec-
tion of basement and the work will
be pushed to completion. There are
4S2 students enrolled and President
Peck informed the Board that he was
refusing admission to 20 or 80 student
applications daily. Fire escapes were
ordered placed Immediately to Ward
Hall and the building has been recent
ly decorated and repainted, and pre-
sents most creditable appearance.
All the State buildings are in a fine
condition and all things point to this
scholastic year as the greatest in the
history of Western University.
