years of apprenticeship, but that's just
it-he's the exception.
Back in the old Weber & Fields
music hall days we were mostly young,
and what we didn't know we felt was

That youthful enthusiasm has lasted

"'Why, they're only children. too!'
I said to Herbert. You say Rodgers
is only seventeen? Probably he's more

twenty-four? He's probably the only

Start Work on Tax Laws.

Initial SteptS in the framing of new
revenue legislation by congress were
taken with the opening of hearings
before the house ways and means com
mittee on tax questions and the ma
tion's revenue needs.
Dr. Thomas S. Adams. tax expert
and economist of the Treasury depart
ment, told the committee that the first
problem for it to decide was whether
the level of taxes should be retained
al S4000000.O00 annually. He ex-
pressed the belief that no reduction
could or should be considered.
Before Doctor Adams began his tes-
timony, Chairman Fordney and Rep
resentative Garner Dem), Texas, had
a lively tilt when the Texas member
demanded that a statement be includ-
ed in the record, showing the exact
purpose of the hearings.
Mr.. Fordney finally announced that
the committee proposed to gather in
formation on which to base contem-
plated revision Of tax laws. He said
he planned to continue the hearings to
December % and then adjourn TO Jan
uary When tariff questions would
be taken up.
Mr.. Garner objected 70 this plan on
the ground that the terms IF Office
of five of the Democratic members Of
the committee would expire on March
4. He said ii was unfair TO place tax
questions before the new members
who had had no opportunity TO cross
examine witnesses.
