mediate billion dollar reduction in
federal taxes was suggested in a
statement issued here today by Will
liam G. McAdoo, former secretary
of the treasury. The present tax
burden is too great, he said, and is
having an injurious effect on
business.
Mr.. McAdoo proposed that coll
lection of tax to establish a sink
ing fund for retirement of the war
debt, which was recommended by
former Secretary Glass to begin
with the fiscal year 1920, be post
poned for two years and that the
deferred payments of European in
terest be funded until Europe is in
position to pay its interest charges
THE financial policies OF the sa-
tion as embodied in future congress
sional legislation" said Mr.. Nc
Adoo, should realize the utmost
economy in expenditures and might
well fund in long term bonds
81, 100000 per annum for two
years of the amount now raised by
taxation.
"Under the laws q tax to estab-
lish per cent sinking fund to
retire bonds now outstanding is tC
be collected, beginning with the fis-
cal year 1920. This might well be
postponed for at least two years
and thus reduce the tax burden by
S25O.O0O. 900 annually. There. too,
is the debt which Europe owes us
and which now amounts to about
S1O.0OO,0OO. 900. If the, economic
restoration of Europe had proceed
ed far enough so that Europe could
now pay interest on this debt Gas
she will be able to within q few
years) we should have an income
of $500. 100000 from this source.
But that is not now available. Why
not fund that amount against the
day when il will come back to MS?
BY postponing for two wears the es-
tahlishment of n sinking fund and
funding the deferred payments of
European interest, we should cover
$3.50, 100000 of the $1,000, 900 600
by which our taxation might be re
duced.
"By disseminating purchases of
Liberty bonds for retirement under
provisions of existing laws, the
treasury would be relieved of a
large burden now reflected in the
floating debt and which otherwise
will have to be made up by taxa
ton. 1t would seem that reduction
of our tax bill for the next two
years in this manner could he ac-

DO not let the peace of the

for yourselves" he continued "The
league is governed by two bodies,
In one every colony of England
has a vote, but in the other each
nation has but one vote, and to be
effective any measure must pass
the approval of both these bodies"
1T is also true that Cuba, far
more under the control of the Unit

control of England, also has enc
vote. So do San salvador Hondu-

families; member of the navy dur
ing the Spanish-American war, assis-
tant secretary of the navy in Roose-

mander of the port ofNew York dur
ing the world war, based his appeal
for election on war platform.
Ford, head of the Ford Automobile
Company, head of the Ford peace ship
and before the United States entered
the war, leading Pacifist, built his
platform on support of President
Wilson's policies.
The Newberry supporters built up
a huge organization entering into
every county, city and village in the
state. By their own admission, $178,-
900 was spent. The government at

ed $225,000 was paid out to purchase

The case hinged on the question of
whether or not Senator Newberry

one cent to the campaign fund and
was not informed of the huge amounts
spent in his behalf during the cam

A grand jury summoned in the au-

an excessive amount of money in the

Four other indictments were either
quashed or combined with these two

When the case finally reached the
