Income AND OTHER
TAXES TO REMAIN
Experts Have No Hope Of Early
Lifting Of Levies by
81 Tariff
VAST WEIGHT OF WAR DEBT
By Q gtod Correapondent

:, Washington, Nov. 3O.--Any thought
shat there can be reduction In the
income tax rate next year may as well
be abandoned now as later. Republican
legislators and take experts nave al
ready reached the conclusion that the
! present law will have to remain un-
changed so far as the normal surtax
aeyies are concerned, and that future
reductions will have to await expert
ments with new tariff law and con :
slderatfon by the next Congress of a
sales or compensation tax.
There Is a difference Of opinion az to
the possibility Of repeating or reduc.
ding the excess profits tax. The revenue
requirements Of the government are
such as to preclude the repeal of my
existing taxes until new sources OF
revenue are provided. For this reason
it Is thought probable that for the pres
3ent Congress will do nothing more than
modify the excess profits tax to re-
lieve the embarrassment Of corporations
caught In the sudden decline In material
and commodity prices.
It Is recognized that the benefits of a
higher tariff would not be felt by the
treasury for at least year, and thct
even though tariff duties should b
creased by the new Congress, It would
be several months before the effect on
revenues could be estimated. With ex.
ports growing and imports falling off
and with the whole fabric Of interna
tionnl trade affected by credit and ex'
change problems resulting from tht
war, there is no thought Of applying q
blanket increase on all commoditie,
stantial tariff on all items now exemp
from import duties.
Effect Of New Tariff Delayed
Senator Lodges statement that thu
existing tariff lays are not producing
an appropriate share OF government
revenues represents the general view o.
other Republican leaders. The process
Of framing a tariff bill under any cir
: cumstances is a tedious one, however
and II Is realized that in the light o
uncertainties due to the shifting tide
Of foreign trade. it is likely to TAX
longer than usual in the coming Con
gress. Though the tariff will be one o
the first subjects taken up by the extr,
session President elect Harding IN ex
pected to call next March, experience
legislators are convinced II will be lat
summer or fall before a new tariff Law
can be perfected and put into effect.
:, Republicans in charge Of revenu
legislation in the House hope to rails
an additional $3.50, ,O00, 900 or 81 900,
0O0, 900 by the new tariff. This, Il
time, Is counted on to permit reduc
ton in the income tax rate. but a.
hope that this can be accomplished 4
1921 or possibly the following year ha
been abandoned. Until 1t Is know
what the new tariff law will produce
no material change in the national tn
laws will be attempted.

field. y. H.. declared their willingness to
purchase stock to their full share in the

the Brotherhood ever had, was served by
young men, and when supper was over it
didn't take long for the men to clear
away the tables, everybody taking a
hand.
Mr. Maurice was presented by the
Brotherhood president, o. B. Hughes, and
| for an hour he told in entertaining
| fashion of his experiences and what he
saw on a Raymond & Whitcomb cruise
Especially at the island of Jamaica and
at the Panama canal zone. The speaker
gave many interesting facts from first

FOUR MEN WHO
MADE AMERICA
Rev Cecil Hayes of Greenfield
Speaks to Baptist Mems Union
Several Musical Numbers

The monthly meeting of the Baptist
Mems union last evening was notable be-
cause of the virile and eloquent address
by Rev. J. Cecil Hayes of Greenfield,
Mass Mr. Hayes, topic was Men Who
Have Made America.
The speaker began with an eloquent
tribute to the Pilgrims and their funda-
mental work but soon launched his real
topic, the four men who made America
what she is today, the foremost nation
upon earth. They were George Wash
ington, Abraham Lincoln, William Mckin
ley and Theodore Roosevelt.
The address briefly referred to the early
| life of these giants among men, but empha
sized the broad, self sacrificing spirit which
actuated them throughout life, leading
them to devote their lives to the up
building of their country rather thar
to self emolument which is all too prev
alent at the present day. 1t was an ad
dress full Of virility but discriminating il
its tribute to each.

commanding, and gifted with resonan
voice and choice diction. it would hav
been pleasure to have listened twice a
