MEXICAN PLOT is
NIPPED IN THE BUD

San Antonia, Texas, Dec. 23.-
Two prominent Mexicans were un-
der arrest today and the apprehen.
sion of others was expected as the
result of federal indictments
brought here yesterday charging
them with conspiring to set on foot
upon United States soil a military
expedition agnist Mexico. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez, an associate of
Francisco Madero when the latter
was q candidate for the presidency,
and Leon T. laurel were arrested
last night, Gomez securing his re-
lease on $1,000 bail.
Gomez began his political career
in Mexico in 1910, when he became
the running mate of Francisco Ma
dero, who was the candidate for the
Mexican presidency against Poforio
Diaz.
Gomez broke with Madero, how
ever, who favored Pima, Suarez, for
the vice presidency in the election
which followed. From that time Co.
mez has taken sides with Carranza
against Victoriano Huerta and with
Francisco Villa against Carrnza.
Leon J. laurel was formerly cam
paign manager for Ignacio Bonillas,
who was a candidate against Gener-
al Obregon in the Presidential-elec-
tion held in Mexico last March.

HE LEFT FORTUNE ON TRAIN
Frech Brakeman Gets $4,000
Francs For Finding Ameri-
cans Satchel

Paris, Dec. 27.-Stocks, shares
and securities valued at 2 million
dollars were absent mindedly left in
a satchel in a railroad train by an
American named Wessent of New
York, who arrived in Paris last
night. He noticed his loss only when
registering in a hotel and reported
it to the police.
Police Commissioner Oudaille OF
the St. Lazare station returned the
satchel with it's contents intact to
Wessend this morning. A railroad
brakeman found the fortune while
shunting the car to a siding. Wes
sind gave the brakeman a reward
of $4,000 francs.

FLOYD MCCULLOUGH
KILLED IN IVA
Otto Nelson Charged With Shooting
Man Under Automobile

Anderson, Dec. 27.-Floyd Nc
Cullough was shot and killed by Ot-
to Nelson on Christmas eve in Iva.
The wounded man was brought to 8
local hospital and died the next
morning 1t seems that bad blood
had been between the two men for
more than a year and when they
met fight ensued. Nelson, it is
said, crawled up under an automo-
bile to get out of the way, McCul-
Tough following him and the fight
continuing under the automobile.
Application for bail was made for
Nelson before Judge George E.
Prince. This was granted in the
sum of $1,000.

er in the country that is difficult to

"It is a buyers market. Then
what is the prospect buying? In
most instances he is buying ser

"In the Good Book is written:
"By their deeds ye shall know them.
Promises will be of no avail; the
prospect will demand performance

are the only people who can really
keep these children from starving.

upon in an emergency, and especial
ly we will not fail, in an emergency
where the lives of millions of Babies
are at stake.
During the war and for wars sake
we had "Wheatless Days-Meatless
Days-Sugarless Days" and many OF
us probably had days in which we
went without many other things, and
here is my suggestion:

It is estimated that a meal fol

costs (22) twenty-five cents, let us

ary 5th, 1921, twenty-five cents for

PREDICTS NORMAL
BUSINESS IN 1921
Notwithstanding Talk of Hard
Times Expert Declares United
States is in Prosperous
Condition

Notwithstanding a. lot of talk
about hard times, the business of
the United States is in an exceed
, ingly prosperous condition. There is
latent buying power in the coun-
try that is difficult to estimate. The
stage of transformation through
which we are passing is good
omen and an assurance of satisfac-
tory business progress throughout
next year.
Those organizations that have
withstood the test are now reorgan-
izing, re-esablishing for the volume
of business that will be in the open
market for competitive companies
in various lines of our business on
an equal competitive basis. When
the ball of business begins to roll it's
speed and volume will increase also
and it will only be those who are
physically, mentally and financially
fit who will be able to keep pace
with it.
This is the keynote of optimism
struck by J. F. Bowman, General
Sales Manager of the Garford Mo-
tor Truck Co., of Lima, Ohio, in an
interview few days ago on busi-
ness conditions as he has seen them
in a countrywide investigation
made with the aid of his force.
History has repeated itself down
through the ages" said Mr. Bow
man. every international war and
national disturbance has been fol-
! lowed by hard times. We cannot ex-
pect conditions to resume a pre-war
basis in an unbroken line of price
cutting events in any short space of
time. AS nation, we have been re-
markably fortunate. Statistical re-
cords unfold to us the weird fact
that it required thirteen years for
prices to resume or decline to the
point fom which they started to
soar after the Civil War. Encourag-
ing, isn't it? Again, after the Ma
poleonic Wars it took ten years for
commodity prices to return to a
normal level.
"To many it may be surprising
that financial wizards, who have
studied deflationary phenomena
following in the wake of wars, re-
vealed to US the pessimistic news
that the decline thus far over which
we have all become SO elated antici-
pating further declines has reached
its temporary logical limit.
Generally the re-adjustment of
the nations business to the normal
basis has proceeded in an orderly
manner. Undoubtedly, small or,
CARNATIONS have been compelled to

TAX INCREASE ON
SMALLER INCOMES
MAY BE DITCHED
If a General Protest is Heard Con.
gress Will Drop Secretary Hous-
toms Proposal in Matter.

Washington, Dec 16-Congress has
received with an open mind" the
suggestion of Secretary of the Trea
ury Houston that revision of tax laws
include so per cent increase of in
come tax rates on incomes of $4,000
and less.
If Houston can convince members
of the Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Committee that such
an increase will yield desirable sum
to the treasury with a minimum of
evasion and difficulty in collection,
they are ready to shove up the rates.
But if the public, generally, thru
protest against the further adding of
taxation upon the wage Garner and
small salaried man, convinces commit
tees that the loss in public support
and confidence, at this time, would
not be justified by the amount of rev.
enue produced, these proposed in
creases will be side-tracked.
Public Not Asked.
Secretary Houston has been invited
to appear before the committee to tell
why such increases are necessary.
The general public, to date, has not
been invited to show how the higher
tax on small incomes is not only un-
necessary but impossible without the
maximum of hardship. 1t will have to
speak up of it's own accord, and speak
quickly.
1t is interesting and perhaps sig
nifcant that out of six members of
the Senate Finance Committee inter
viewed not one was prepared to OBJ
ject to Houston's proposal.
The estimated revenue that would
be derived from the proposed increase
on incomes is $15O,94O,O00, or less
than four per cent of the revenue
Uncle Sam would raise next year. But
no other four per cent would be i'm
posed over so great a percentage of
the population as direct levy in
which the person taxed would have
no choice in the matter.
Total Small.
By increasing the rate on taxable
| incomes up to $4,000 from to 6 per
cent. only .$4e,o6O,OOO would be Sc
cured. The increase on incomes over
$4,000 from. s to II per cent would
yield an additional $1O3,09O,OOO.
In comparison, an additional 5 per
cent tax on automobiles and accessor-
les, it is estimated, would bring in
S1OO,OOO,0O0 and a federal license
tax on automobiles of SO cents per
horse power would bring in another
$100,O00,000.
In the latter cases, it would be op-
tional with the individual whether he
subject himself to the tax. If he could
afford the auto he could afford the
tax. In the former case every wage
Garner and salaried man would be
subject to the SO per cent increase
whether he could afford it or not.
A Year to Go.
Whatever the outcome may be Mr..
Taxpayer has whole year yet before
he can begin to figure his payments
under any new tax law. 1t is on 1920
incomes that 1921 payments are
made.
No revenue legislation will be en-
acted by the present short session OF
congress. Republicans will come into
power March 4, but the earliest the
special session of congress can be
convened will be March Ia, with
March q more probable.
And all returns on 1920 incomes
must be completed and in the hands
of revenue collectors by March Is.

'NEILL-BOWERS' CASE
SET FOR TOMORROW
They Are Accused of Attempting
to Kill Ralph Mustard,
Taxicab Driver.

The case of Charles O'Neill and John
Bowers, charged with assault and the
attempted murder of Ralph Mustard, a
driver for the IXL Taxicab Co. will
be heard in City Court tomorrow morn
ing.
The assault on Mustard occurred near
Bellevue early in the morning of Thursday,
July l. He was driving two passengers,
alleged to be 0'Neill and Bowers, when
they are supposed to have set upon him
and beat him with large coupling pin.
O'Neill and Bowers were arrested near
the scene of the crime. Both denied being
guilty, but circumstantial evidence rs
strongly against them.
The police have been making a close
inquiry into the case TO see if the two men
know anything concerning the Lacey
murder, which was similar TO the attack
on Mustard. Both men claim to have
been in the service when Lacey was
killed. The police have made no state
ments, but just what connection, If any,
exists between the two crimes may come
out tomorrow.
O'Neill and Bowers are each held under
81 500 bail.
