PROFITS TAX
CALLED DETR|ME|VT
REVERSION TO SOUND PRINCI.
Plies NEEDED, CHIEF TELLS
BANKERS.

Chicago, March 12.-The excess
profits tax Is contributing factor to
the high cost of living" said Rich
ard s. Hawes of St. Louis, president
of the American Bankers association,
at meeting of central states bank
ers association Wednesday,. Mime
sofa and other northwest states are
represented at the convention.
Most of the war revenue law
needs revision to sound principles.
Taxes cannot be passed on without
detriment; the excess profits tax now
stands as a detriment to sane indus
trial development"
Mr.. Halves said Americans thought
they were enjoying unexampled pros
perity, but that most of this is un-
real. He summed up unfavorable
business factors as follows: Enor-
nous increase in prices, producing
speculation, waste and extravaganza;
inflated currency, endangering the
gold standard; large decrease in the
sale of goods to Europe; increased de-
mands from labor; continued heavy
demand for capital invested; increas-
ed and unscientific tax methods; gen.
eral upset due to a presidential elec-
tion.,

VILLA SEEKS To

Washington, March Relatives
and friends of Americans kidnapped
by Pancho Villa need have no con-
Germ as to their safety and may dis
miss all fear that they may be held
for ransom If they repose full conf
dence in communication recently
received from the Mexican bandit
leader. According to his note of re-
assurance, he has adopted the only
practical means he can think of to
get friendly conversation with va
rious representative Americans who
cross his trail, and, while they are
his guests" they will be treated with
every consideration and returned un-
harmAd and unrobbed to their
friends
The substance of Villas communi-
| cation was transmitted unofficially
to officers of the intelligence branch
of the war department.
1t was explained in the message
Villa succeeded in getting here, that
| only vague idea of what was going
on in the outside world could be had
where he was, and the desire to learn
more, to gain the Americans point
of view and a determination to give
opportunity to carry back with them
some of his own theories of what a
government in Mexico should be had
caused him to determine to gather in
his guests where he Nigh find them
regardless of their willingness to ac-
IGept his invitation. He added that
from time to time others would be
brought in, but urged those interest
lsed not to become alarmed.

LIQUOR INTERESTS.

Watertown, March 12.-The cam
paign of r. o. Richards of Huron fol
the governorship in South Dakota and
his platform. and paramount issue
were strongly denounced by the Rev
Ray G. White pastor of the Metho-
dist church here. He accused Rich
ards of being a representative ef. the
old liquor forces and chargeN THAT
his campaign is an attempt of the Ii
quor interests to stage a comeback
in this state.
Dick Richards may not have the
support of the liquor interests" said
the Rev. Mr.. White. II do not say
that he has. But it would be strange
il he has not. / know every old
boozer, the vets and the near vets
are for him.
The minister declared any support
given Richards in this state will en-
courage the wets in other states apd
that the man.and his platform should
therefore be decisively defeated.
Richards belongs to the old liquor
interests" he continued. He sneers
at the things we hold sacred and
blasphemes the cross of Jesus Christ

his nefarious propaganda"

DAKOTA LEGION
FROWNs ON BONUS
LETTER TO STERLING READ IN
SENATE PRECIPITATES A
LIVELY DEBATE.

Washington, d. c., March 12.-
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
had read in the senate today letter
from an American legion post at
Pierre, S. D., opposing beneficial leg
islation to ex-service men at this
time The letter caused lively de-
bate on the subject of soldiers bon
uses in the senate.
The Pierre communication, which
was signed by Charles Lee Hyde, Jr.,
member of the executive commit
tee, said:
LAS one who spent nearly two years
in a uniform and who is now in touch
with large number of others who
did likewise, l want to express my
self where it is apt to do the most
good as being opposed to any gift
or bonus being given me or any other
uninjured returned soldier.
''The nation suffered through Q wal
which has left us with an immense
debt for future generations perhaps
to struggle with, and l know that the
best of the 100000 young men who
gave up some of their time for the
cause do not wish to make this bur-
den greater, but to lessen it. We
gladly sacrificed what was necessary
for humanity and the United States,
and do not wish to have pay for our
patriotism"

NO MORE LOANS
FOR DEBTOR NATIONS
REMAINDER OF CREDITS TO AL.
LIES AUTHORIZED WILL NOT
BE GRANTED.

Washington. DC, March l2.--An-
that no further loans would be made
to the allies was believed tonight to
indicate the adoption by the treasury
of the policy favored by the debtor
nations of deferring interest pay
ments for the next three years or
more.
Under authority granted by con-
gress to extend ,OOO,00O,0OO cred
it's to the allied nations, the treas
ury has made loans amounting to
$9,659,834,649. Secretary Houston
said that the remainder of the credits
authorized would not be granted, as
it was thought sufficient advances
had been made.
Discussing the question, treasury
officials said that in view of the ex-
change situation and the unsettled
economic condition of the European
nations during the reconstruction pc
riod, it would seem advisable to per-
NIT them to postpone interest pay
ments for at least three years. Then,
it is believed, they would be in po-
sition to meet their obligations.
With the interest on the loans COM
puted at 5 per cent. the total due the
United States yearly is about $470.-
900, 900, an enormous sum for the
war-wearied countries to pay at pres
ent If interest Is funded into long
term obligations, the interest on the
payments thus deferred, will amount
to only $23,000.000 yearly, which
can be paid and the credit of the
debtor nations maintained. Treas
ury officials are working on recon-
mendations to submit to congress as
to the course to be followed il de-
ferred payments are permitted. IT
has been suggested that the interest
on the interest be charged off, but
the proposal has met with strong op-
position in congress. 4.
Americas chief debtors are: Great
Britain, with $4,277,000.0O0; France,
$3,047,974.777, and Italy, with ST.
621,338,9S6. Belgium's debt is $343,-
445. 900, and Russia is charged with
$187 7,729,750. Roumania, Serbia
Greece. Cuba, Czecho- -Slovakia and
Liberia are the other countries listed
on the books of the treasury.

ADMIRAL SIMS
BEFORE COMMITTEE
CHARGES NAVY DEPARTMENT
WAS VICTIM OF GERMAN
PROPAGANDA.

Washington, March 12.-Charges
that the navy department was VIC
tim of German propaganda were
made by Admiral Sims before the SEN
ate naval subcommittee today. This
propaganda led the department into
misconception of the problem of de-
Tending the American coast during
the war and prevented full co-opera-
tion with the allies, Sims told the
committee. He said reluctance of the
navy department to cooperate with
him drove him to desperation.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of
allied shipping were sunk because the
navy department held out for plan
of operating ships individually under
armed guard instead of in conveys as
desired by the allies, Sims said.

Indians,F Favor
Selling Lands

Pierre, March 12.-When Indian
pasture leases expired ON the Chey-
enne River reservation several years
ago, the Indians in council decided
not to continue the lease policy.
Cattle herds were removed to 9th,
er sections, after which the Indians
changed their policy and agreed to
further leasing and the cattlemen
brought their stock back to the old
pastures.
These new leases expire next year
and the Indians of that reservation
are asking that policy of sale OF
surplus lands be provided in place OF
any further leasing.
This would mean a large influx OF
whites into that part of the state, az
the lands would be sold readily under
existing land prices.

yearly to the cost of the national coal

claim to know the contents of the ma

sion forwarded to President Wilson.
This increase would be paid by the
public in higher prices or increased
charges of utility companies and 9TH
er large consumers of bituminous

According to operators the coal
commission recommended an increase
of IL per cent in wages of miners

No changes in working hours or
conditions was considered. John p

out for wage increase it was said
and will submit a minority report
The wage increase will absorb the
IA per cent granted when the miners
returned to work last November so
that the actual increase is IL per cent

made retroactive. The commission
