Trusted to I'm.
provised Waterwings.

Louis Ryan, a twelve-year-old resi-
dent of Rosslyn, Va, was drowned in
the Potomac yesterday afternoon. He
and two companions about his age
went to the Virginia shore of the
river opposite Three Sisters to enjoy
a plunge. Ryan took with him a
pair of homemade water wings. con-
structed of two tin cans fastened
together with a wire, to use in learn
ing to swim.
He had been in the water some
time and was returning ashore when
one of the cans became detached and
foated away, dropping him into the
deep water. Being unable to swim
and his companions powerless to as
sist him. he disappeared beneath the
surface.
William G. Bentley, Rosslyn, Va,
assisting the police in dragging the
river, recovered the body about 9:30
o'clock last night.

BLAME TAX SYSTEM
(. FOR HIGH PRICES
"lntoIerabIe Situation" Re-
suit of Federal Methods,
Cotton Men Declare.

MAPLEWOOD, n. H, September %
tby the Associated Press).-The pres
ent system of federal taxation was
declared to have created IAN in
tolerable situation" and to be re-
sponSible for the continued high
prices of many articles, by speakers
at the opening session of the semi
annual meeting of the National AS
sociation of Cotton Manufacturers.
Suggested substitutes included an
employers privilege tax. outlined by
Theodore H. Price, editor of Com
merce and Finance, of New York and
a gross sale tax, explained by Will
liam L. Cornwen of New York.
The people of the country. Mr..
Cornwell said are becoming educated
to the fact that the whole system of
taxation in the United States is
wrong, adding that the system was
founded on class and sectional bias
.wastefulIy Destructive.''
1.-THE present method of taxation is
wastefully destructive he continued,
but it is only during the past year
or so that the public has become
alive to the fact. Today vast num-
Der of people of all classes, not only
bankers and business heads. but those
in the rank and file of all occupa-
tons, are impressed.
This widespread knowledge is main
ly due to the fact that the public
is beginning to see that prices are
being kept high in many articles be-
cause of the present excessive taxes
Two important sources of the
countryS progress are being dried
up by operation of the excess profits
tax and heavy SurtaXeS on incomes,
the speaker said. These sources were
surplus capital and Intelligent en-
terprise.
Mr.. Price, in his address. declared
that the present Surtaxes penalize
success and compel an enterprising
man to pay the government an i'm
moderate share of his gains in
profitable year, leaving him to bear
the losses of an Improbable year
alone.
Employer Privilege Tax.
Explaining the employers privilege
tax which he proposed as a Substi-
tute for the present system, MIR. Price
said, in part:
by and large, the great mass of
things mankind consumes are the
product of work on the farm and in
the mines, factories and offices.
Therefore. if the labor cost of these
things was taxed we should approx
mate an equitably distributed con-
sumption tax. and if it were supple
mented by a reasonable income tax
plus moderate surfaces. We would,
1t seems to me, be coming about as
near as We can get to a painless and
fairly apportioned tax"
