TAX ASSOCIATION
 ASKS CHANGES IN EXEMPTION LAWS
< Itism In Taxation Con- demned In Report, Which
 Declares No Fair Tax
 Should Be LesSened
By Associated Press

New York, December 25.-Privilegs or favorltism in taxation is con- demned In a report to the National Tax association by its special commit tee on taxation, which was made pub lie here tonight, urging revision of the present tax exemption laws.
 Tt Is automatic that taxation should be universal" said the report. and that every person in the Jurisdiction of government should contribute to the support of that government in a proper proportion.
 The exemption of any individual or class, in part or in whole, is favorit- ism or privilege and as such as inde- feasible.
 If the basis of taxation be property all private property should be taxa ble. If the basis is income, all pri- vate income should be taxable. Ex- captions to this rule should be tech nical only, and should never result in m actual lessening of any ones fair tax burden.
 ''The only ground for absolute ex- emption from taxation, either of prop erty or of income-revenue-is ab- solute public use.''
 The committee condemns specifically:
 Under the property tax, any fur ther extension of exemptions of the nature of bounties, whether these be Of the war veterans type or of the type of those granted on household furniture, tools, farm machinery, and the ike, or of the type of exemption granted to industries or commercial enterprises
 SHOULD TAX EVERYBODY
 Under the income tax, federal or state, the further exemption of any class of persons or kinds of income on account of the income source or character. An income tax should be a personal tax on every person in pro- portion to the income he enjoys from any source whatsoever.
 Finally, the committee urged care ful consideration of the possibility of repeal of the existing exemptions which have created privileged classes or individuals. Exemptions tend to breed rapidly. This is especially true Of those based on assumed benefit" W Declaring there is not the least ground for exemption of interest" on farm loan bonds. war finance bonds. and dividends of the federal reserve bank, the report recommends the issu- ance or such taxfree bonds be stopped
 The committee which has made & study of the taxation problem consists of w, N. Beatty, Salt Lake City: E. Clark. Manitoba tax commission: Frank B. Jess state board of taxes and assessment of New Jersey: B. S. Or eutt, New York; w. IT. Osborne, Jr.. state board of equilization of Ne braska; Carl c. Blehn. University of california, chairman; 4.

HUME ALREADY IS .BEG|NN|NG ID FEEL
 SCARCITY OF FOOD
Italian Soldiers Close In Fol- lowing Official Notice of Blockade and All
 Exits Barred
By Associated Press

Trieste, December 24.-Fiume, Arbe, veglia, and San Marcos, under block ade by the Italian fleet, are already be- ginning to feel the scarcity of food.
 The greater part of Gabrielle D'An- nunzto's troops are remaining in their barracks at Plume and their officers are in direct communication with the poet who looks after the military as well as the political affairs of the be leaguered city.
 Immediately after official notice of the blockade was given to the regency of Quarnero, the Italian General Ferario, who already had a group of soldiefs posted around the Plume frontier, closed in upon the city, barring all exit on three sides. For about 100 yards out of the city the railway tracks were removed, stopping traffic into the city The roads immediately outside were torn up and those crossing the from tiers were barred with tree trunks and wire entan elements. Here and there trenches have been dug, from which patrols are keeping a lookout. Regular troops surround the blockade line at short intervals. Royal guards and Car abineers hold the sea line, while Alpine troops dominate the city from the northeastern heights. What is consid- cred the most dangerous spot, however, is the. mouth of the river.
 POET VERY NERVOUS
 D'Annunzio, according to information leaking out of Fiume, is virtually talk ing no rest and is displaying great ner- vous activity in the work of defense He is imparting orders, giving advice writing proclamations and reciting aloud.
 The poet-commander is highly indig- nant about some of the conditions in General Caviglia's ultimatum, especial ly that pertaining to the disbandment of his legionaries. which he considers an outrageous offense to the independ- ence of regency which he declares has a right to form an army for it's own defense, even with foreign subjects, as France and Holland have done in the case of their foreign legions.
 Meanwhile the blockade has caused a great increase in the price of all neces- sites, some of which have reached fan tastic sums, as, owing to the danger of starvation, many of the people have purchased large stocks of food Tins of preserved milk, for instance have en- tirely disappeared from the market while fresh milk is not coming in from the neighboring country, which is oc- cupied by Italian forces.
 Meat is a food of extraordinary lux ury. Measures. however, have been adopted to punish interruptions shop keepers and also food hoarders.
 Since the blockade was instituted mo- body has been able to enter Plume. Many have been obliged to turn back, some of them being parents desirous to enter the city that they might persuade their sons to return to the regular army.
 Persons requiring to be fed in Plume are 52.00o, approximately, while the re- gency is believed to have rations for two weeks. This has contributed great ly to the depression of the citizens, who are reluctant to endure privations and suffering even to insure independence.

nished an opportunity for the election
of ex-senator James Hamilton Lewis,
democrat, and Wisconsin, where an
other factional fight in the republican
party between the supporters of Sen

chance for Robert B. Mccoy, the dem

Use MUCH CARE
IN SELECTING S0WS

Selecting sows to breed for the
spring litter is matter of consider
able Importance. The College Of Ag-
riculture at Lexington recommends
that it is usually mistake to kill the
mature sow that has raised a good
litter Of pigs. She should be retain
ed in the breeding herd unless there
IL some good reason for discartling
her.
1t is well to study a sow very close
~ before deciding to breed her /. and
when she has raised a good litter she
should Re further developed and re-
tanned if she has provided worthy.
Records show that sows on the aver
age farrow and raise more and better
pigs in the second and third litter
than they do in the first. After she.
has weaned her first litter she will
make easy and fairly rapid gains if
properly fed, and should continue to
gain in growth and weight up. to The
tiE'e she farrows her second litter.
Considering the present price of
corn the average farmer should pro-
duc9 g reasonable quantity Of hcgs.
