Today Is "Children's Day" for
the Salvation Army Morning Jour-
nal Empty Stocking fund. Toys,
games. children's books and the
many other things that make little
boys and girls happy are needed to
ill the stockings of the poor boys
and girls of albuquerque. SO have
your children bring in a gift to the
poor children to the Morning Jour
nal office today.
Not discarded, worn-out play
thing, but one that will make some
unfortunate child happy. Albu-
querque has shown a wonderful
spirit of generosity in answer to
the Journals appeal for the Empty
Stocking fund. Yesterday As con-
tributions were received, totalling
SS2. And the fund is near the
$500-mark.
A doll and several books of chill
dren's stories were brought in yes
terday. To replace them would
cost $40 or more. The Salvation
Army has names of many poor
children, and it would take many
dollars to buy toys for all. If the
children will give their toys to the
poor kiddies there will be more
money left to buy mittens, and
shoes, and warm underclothing for
the little boy and girl whose moth
er takes in washing to exc out an
existence.
Isn't the happiness of hundred
of more poor children deserving
of your generosity? Bring in your
dollars today for the Empty Stock
ing fund--and have your children
bring in doll, or a book, or kid
die-cart. 1t will do your child
good to learn the lesson that "it is
better to give than to receive" and
it will be the means of bringing a
day of joy to some child that would
otherwise be forgotten and un-
happy.
Among the contributions to the
Empty Stocking fund yesterday

warden would be authorized to en-
force.
1t is Mr. Cables view that COM
mission of three or more members
would not be able to act as quickly
in emergencies. since some time
would be wasted in arranging
meeting of its members. The
method of closing streams or To-
calities to sportsmen by the gov-
ernor's fiat would result, Mr.. Gable
believes, in making a peoples Of
ficer directly responsible to the
people for the production of the
game supply.
Colorado Hatcheries Succeed.
For the establishment of the fish
hatchery, Mr.. Gable feels that the
legislature should appropriate 500
600. The state of Colorado has
fourteen hatcheries operated by
the state. Last year, the game and
fish warden of that state reported
the receipt Of $4,000 from non
resident hunting and fishing Ii
censes, enough revenue to pay d
large part of the hatchery cost.
The amount received from nom
residents by the state of Colorado
exceeds the total of all receipts by
New Mexico.
The state of New Mexico is now
spending $1,000 annually to re-
stock streams. 1t is felt that this
cost could be saved by the estab-
lishment of hatchery which would
be paid for by the extra license fees.
In addition, there would be reve-
nue. to New Mexico people from
the influx of tourists attracted by
the superior fishing.
Could Establish Nurseries.
With a competent hatchery
working, the game department
would be in position to establish
nursery ponds along the banks of
the streams where the small fish
could be held until they were large
enough to be released.
The change from the present sys-
tom O. field deputies for the game
department to professional trap
pers Is urged IN the belief that pre-
datory animals destroyed more
game than the hunters themselves
While Mr.. Gable was in Denver re-
Gently, he saw 1900 hides of
predatory animals which had beer
trapped Jointly by the game de-
partment and the biological survey.

tBy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 21.--The
world peace situation and various
domestic issues were discussed by
President ELECT Harding today with
Senator Miles Poindexter. OF
Washington, a republican irrecon-
cilable in the Treaty fight, and with
Governor Edwin P. Morrow, of
Kentucky.
Neither of the callers. who came
here at Mr.. Harding's invitation,
would talk about the details Of
their conferences, but both said
they believed he was working along
hopeful lines in his efforts to for.
mulate an association of nations.
Senator Poindexter also took oc-
casion to urge the selection of a

Low Rates For Initial Test.
The witness said he was not pre-
pared to say sales tax would be
Il success, He said, however, that
he believed it would work success
fully, but because it was in the ra-
ture OF an experiment he would
propose a low tax rate for the ini-
tial test. He suggested a rate of
1-3 of one per cent, estimating that
such a levy would produce approx
imately $3.50, 100000 81 year. This
yield, Mr.. Kahn said, was based on
the assumption that conditions
would be normal when the tax
would become effective.
Mr.. Kahn also proposed a tax OF
15 per cent on net profits OF COR
porations, a tax which he said he
was confident would produce at
least $1,000 600 600.
The tariff revision which he pro-
posed, the witness said, ought to
add approximately 0,000,800 to
the import revenues, making that
source yield nearly 500, 100000
annually.
Revised Surtax Schedule.
Under the revised income surtax
schedule proposed, Mr.. Kahn esti-
mated the government would de-
rive between $S50.000,000 and ST.
900, 100000. Questioned as to rates
for the reduced surtax, Mr.. Kahn
said that present surtax rates were
driving rich investors to place their
money in taX-exempt securities,
most of which, he declared, were
sold on q basis to yield 5h percent.
1t was, therefore, his belief. he
said, that by fixing the surtax
| charge at or near 33,-1-3 per cent
as maximum the treasury would
receive as great a, yield. il not
greater, than under the present
tax,
To complete his program of re-
vision, Mr.. Kahn urged changes in
certain of the internal and excise
taxes, by increasing some and re-
ducing others, but collectively so
arranged as to produce annually
approximately 100000. 1000.
Mr.. Kahn told the committee he
saw no economic objection TO a
tax on undistributed corporation
profits. He added that income sur
taxes should be continued as an
economic and social principle and
that the taxation of corporation
profits, whether divided or undi-
vided, was closely akin to income
taxes

The new legislation which Mr.

tion game refugees, to close by the

facts which he believes of sufficient
weight to dictate such action.
Substitute For Commission.
This plan is recommended in lieu
of a commission of three or more
members and is based upon the
warden's belief that more prompt
action could be obtained in this
way. The game warden or other
interested parties might confer
with the governor at any time,
might present condition existing
in a particular locality, and If the
governor concurred in the view that
the best interests of game preserva-
tion demanded the closing of the
section to hunting or fishing or
both, he could at once issue a

Mr.. Kahn, one of the few wit,
nesses invited by the committee
to appear before it, dwelt at length
on the question of sales tax
partly in response to indications
in the committee that this sort OF
tax is gaining in favor. Chairman
Fordney, before Mr. Kahn was
called, said he and several other
members believed some sort of
sales tax would eventuate, but were
seeking methods by which the tax
would not be multiplied and the
consumer unjustly taxed in the
final purchase. ..."
As a result of the chairman s
statement, Mr.. Kahn discussed
that phase of the problem, advo-
eating legislative provisions which
would require the tax to be made
known in each sale and added to
the selling price as a separate
item. Such an arrangement. he
said, in his opinion, would check
'the profiteering which has re-
suited" from the excess profits tax.
Danger In Excessive Taxes.
In his discussion OF the heed of
a revised taxation program, Mr..
Kahn declared that American bust
ness could not experience healthy
growth If the government contin-
ued "on a road of excessive taxa
ton and continued to absorb the
| blood of business through con-
centration of taxes on incomes and
capital" He added that the "taS

What has happened in the

in the future. We have seen tho
end of this tax and plan and have
seen its disastrous results. 1t has
forced every business house to run
to banks for credit to corduct

had to call halt.

One of the means suggested By
Mr.. Kahn for lifting the present
tax burden was a funding of the

some months, not feeling sure tha'

PLAN CAMPAIGN FOR 100000 EARLHAM
fund AT MEETING OF BUSINESS MEN OF CITY

Tentative plans for raising $500, 000
for Earlham college, by a community
campaign, were Endorsed at a meeting
of II Richmond business men with
President David NJ. Edwards in the
Starr Plano rooms Friday night.
Preliminary work for the campaign
will begin at once and will require
eight or 10 weeks. The actual cam
paign is tentatively scheduled for Sep.
tember
Each of the following men called to-
gether Friday night to discuss the
question of Earlham's future expressed
his deep feeling that the college is
a great asset to the city: Adam
Bartel, Joseph Mills, II. c. Hasemeier,
Atwood Jenkins, Leslie Hart, John
H. Johnson, Elmer Eggemeyer, DR.. J.
J. Rae, DR.. Walter Woodward, Frank
Haner, E. Harrison Scott, Frank
Chambers, Albert Mathews Joseph
Hill, John Zwissler, Rufus Allen and
Ray Shively.
Friday evenings meeting was the
result Of a previous gathering of q
few interested business men, on Wed
nesday evening, June 70. Here the
situation was thoroughly discussed
and unanimous expression was made
that the campaign should be put on
1t was felt, however, that a larger
group should be brought together to
consider 1t. Other business men had
been interviewed and had expressed
interest in the matter but were pre-
vented from being present.
College Almost Out of Debt.
President Edwards made an intro
Guctory statement concerning the f.
nancial condition of Earlham college
He stated that the college would close
it's fiscal year June 80 with an estimat
ed Indebtedness of less than $4,000
and that the estimated Indebtedness
at the close of the next fiscal year
June 80, 1921, would not exceed S. 600
Since the college was $4,000 il
debt in 1917. this Is considered very
good. This was made possible by the

fact that a sustaining fund Of $57, 900
was raised last year, and It is antic-
ipated that $4,000 will come to the
college from the sustaining fund rails
ed through the Forward movement
To operate the college four years
and to reduce Indebtedness $1,000 re-
quired that the income from endow-
ment and tuition receipts be supple
mented by $4,000, President Ed
wards explained The $4,000 was
raised among the membership of the
Friends church in Indiana and West
ern Yearly meetings. Individuals in
the city of Richmond made contribu
lions, but there was no general can
vass made.
at is very evident that something
must be done to provide a fund which
will make up the deficit in operating
expenses Of the college before the end
of the fiscal year." said he. eff this
Is not done, then Indebtedness will be.
gin to pile up.
Pay it All Off at Once
"The policy of the past, not only
with Earlham college, but with al
most all institutions of this character
has been to allow Indebtedness to &C
cumulate for a number Of years and
then to put on strenuous campaign
to liquidate this Indebtedness. with a
tacit understanding that this will be
the last time that people will be asked
to contribute to pay off indebtedness
in the past, annual deficits have
been small, but because Of the fact
that the income has not been in
creased this deficit will be three OF
four times as large from now on until
the endowment is increased.
Therefore. the methods Of the past
must be abandoned; we must provide
in advance to take care of deficit. The
only practical way in which this car
be done is to increase the endowment
to that figure which will support the
institution.
