WORKING ON PLANS
 FOR TAX REVISION
Members of Committee Have Agreed to Repeal the Ex-
 cess Profit Tax
Bs Associated Press

Washington, December 14.-Me thods of raising sufficient revenues to offset losses through the prospective repeal of the excess profits tax was consid- cred today by the House ways and means committee as the second step toward tax revision. The committee at previous sessions has considered changes in the taxes and incomes.
 The days hearings brought from he treasury an estimate that more than s1, 900, 900. 900 were outstanding in uncol- lected taxes, most of which the treas- ury spokesman, Dr. Thomas s. Adams, said was traceable to inability to audit thousands of corporations returns. Dr. Adams declared that the revenue bu- reau had not yet completed the work of auditing returns for the year 1917 because of the gigantic administrative burden of tax collection.
 Majority members of the committee revealed at today's hearings a virtual agreement with respect to the repeal of the excess profit tax. Their imme- diate work, it was said, lay in finding a substitute levy which would produce an equal amount of revenue.
 Although the committee will take up it's regular schedule of hearings to- morrow, and probably will not reach tax questions during the day, mem oers said tonight they expected to continue to delve into the intricacies of rorpor- ation taxation until some tangible pol icy is developed.
 Roy G. Elliott of Chicago, represent ing the National Association of Credit Men, appeared before the committee to- day urging repeal of the excess profits tax and simplification of the general taxation programme.

WORE ARMY INSIGNIA,
 so WERE ARRESTED

Eight civilians were arrested yesterday by agents of the department of justice in Birmingham on charges of wearing military insignia on uniforms
 This ruling was made some time ago. but has not been enforced. However. last Friday local agents of the depart ment of justice issued warnings that after Monday the law would be enforced and any one violating it would be ar- rested.
 Five white men are among the eight who were arrested and lodged in the city jail yesterday. Their bonds were set at S2o0 each. Department agents said they were wearing army overcoats at the time of their arrest; that either had not been dyed, or else the service but tons were still on the coat
 The men arrested are c. R. Savelle, Steve Donaldson, John R. Tongue, T. J. Hinds and w. F. Roberson, white, and Isiah Johnson, Young Lockett and W. c. Hill, negroes, the arresting officers stated.

Bessemer, Ala, December H-(Special) City officials have been advised by J. k. Cannon, arbitrator for the city in tie purchase of the waterworks, to buy the plant at the price set by the arbitrators in a letter received from him.
 January IT is the date set for the election to determine whether the city will issue bonds for the purchase of the waterworks. A great deal of speculation is rife among the citizens as to the out come.
 A number of citizens interviewed on the subject object to municipal owner ship of the plant on the grounds thst it would become a political issue. Other citizens favor the purchase only on con- dition that the plant is placed in the hands of a commission of three or five men, with a manager in control en- tirely apart from city government, giv- ing as their reason for this the beHsf that this would obliterate the possibility of politics entering into the management of the plant The fact that there would be no reduction, probably for several years, in the water rates is another ob- lection raised by some of the citizens, although it is stated that after that length of time the rates would be con- siderably lower.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dirty Money Dangerous

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Apropos of the splendid and wondertui campaign that some of your deep-tnlnk- ing citizens are now conducting to pre- vent the spread of tuberculosis in this district, would it not be fitting to sug- gest a protest against the unwarranted amount of dirty. filthy and germ-laden money that is in circulation here at the present time.
 It is quite obvious that these sick looking bills carry disease germs. The writer has seen some thoughtless peo- pIe in counting over money of this type, wet their thumbs with their tongues This is horrible.
 If the government is permitting such money to remain in circulation as a mat ter of economy, it is certainly false one: I believe little publicity along these lines would prove beneficial to all Most sncerly yours,
 WILLIAM M. BOYKIN. Birmingham, December Il. 1920.
