absorbing topic Of political gossip in

Cd the conference with VIII Hays. re-
publican national chairman. and SEN
ator New and Senator Watson. A.
though the conferces refused to com
ment on the matter discussed in the

cussion ceutered on the matter Of the
disappointment Of Mr.. Wasmuth.
Many CT the party leaders are tax
Ing the position that IL would he a
fatal mistake for the party to unseat
Mr.. Wasmuth at this time. 1t Is said
that Mr.. Hays is opposed to his re
moval and is working IN the utu.-t
Of party harmony on his point. Those
inclined to back Senator Watson and
Mr.. McCray declare that 1t is to the
interest Of these gentlemen to have A
state chairman Of their own choosing.

fairness. but they do believe thai his

istration Of Governor Goodrich d~isqual-
ify him TO lead the party in the state
with Watson and McCray as the stan

Irrespective OF the divergent poll
cies of tho political leaders it now
seems certain that the r~etension OF the
state chairman depends almost entire
" on the chairman selected in the
fourth and ninth districts. Should Bert
Morgan. Of Greensburg. be succeeded
by JULIEN S~harpneck Of Columbus. in

ARGENTINE AMERICANS
PROTEST EXCESS TAXES

Buenos Aires, Sept. 1S.-Protest
against the assessment OF the United
income and excess profits tax upon
American citizens and business firms
residing and operating abroad is voiced
in resolution adopted by the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
in Argentina and sent to the govern
ment at Washington. Amendment TO
the law is asked on the ground that it
is proving an obstacle to the develop
ment and extension OF United States
foreign commerce.
Collection OF the tax not only in
ereases the heavy expenses of Ameri-
cans residing abroad, but constitutes
q serious handicap to them in trade
competition, the resolution states,
since no such tax is collected from the
nationals of other countries. 1t is fur
ther pointed out that American citi-
gems and business houses must pay
heavy taxes levied by the country in
which they are located and are thus
taxed twice without representation
either in the government of that coun-
try or their own.
