BRAZIL WANTS
 REDUCTION OF
 INCOME TAX

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 8 (by As 2 sociated Press) Americans residing in Brazil have begun, through the American Chamber of Commerce for Brazil, an active campaign for the abolition or reduction of the American income tax on citizens residing abroad. The chamber has authorized special committee to engage prominent law yer of Washington to bring before con- gress bill drawn up by the chamber dealing with the subject. The moral and financial support of all American chambers abroad and the foreign trade bodies in the United States is being solicited. Americans abroad are to be asked to urge their congressional rep > resentatives to make independent rep
 esentations to congress.
 The committee which had the matter tn charge recommends that total ex- emption be asked for, principally for the reason that European countries do not tax their nationals engaged in business abroad, and that only total exemption will place the American on an equal footing with European competitors in developing American foreign trade.
 The argument for exemption IS based not only on the handicap 1n comparison with European competl- tors, but also on the political theory that taxation without representation IS contrary to American ideals, the com' mittee pointing out that Americans llv- ing abroad are unable to express their will concerning government policies, being virtually deprived of the right to vote.
 It is also argued that Americans liv- ing abroad are involved in greater amount of responsibility and effort for the good of American interests, impos- ing a greater financial burden than would be the case at home; that while the American at home receives prefer ential protection for his business through import taxation against for eign competition, the American abroad is subject to the customs and taxes levied by his country of residence with out any preferential protection.
 Danger that Americans abroad may relinquish their American citizenship and adopt that of the country where k they reside rather than submit to what they deem an excessive and unjust tax, possibility of evading the tax and un- fairness this creates, and hardship of the tax on Americans of moderate means, are other reasons advanced why the income tax should be abol' ished.

Much Sickness Raging.

The recent warm weather follow
ed by a severe spell of cold weather

colds, grippe and in some instances
pneumonia. A number of serious
pneumonia cases have been report
ed during the past week but until
recently nothing fatal had been de
veloped. Sunday morning it was re
ported along with the death of one
of our citizens that another case or
two would probably prove fatal
but at present these cases are re.

resulted in the sending into this

tiers who live off he dues paid by
the working members. According
ly a largely attended meeting of
business men and prominent farm
ers was held at the Masonic club
room last night to consider the
proposition. Those present were
Of one mind and that was that this
community should be kept on the
open shop basis. City officials and
business men and farmers all de-
clared themselves openly for free
community, where all labor is vel
coined alike and any man who
wishes to work has the right to do
so and enjoy the fruits of his labor
