ME- TING |S STARTLED BY CANADIAN $ VIEW
 IF ORGANIZATION
rRepublIoan X. p. Leased wrrel

GENEVA, Dec. S-The Iiveliest ses- sion the assembly of the league of na- tions has experienced was provoked today by \. w. Rowell of Canada who expressed his views regarding Euro 1 pean statesmanship in a way that startled diplomatists of the Old World
 sharp debate arose over the rec ommendation of the committee on technical organizations that the as- l sembly propose to the governments to set up under the auspices of the league three new organizations, finances, transit and health, with annual con | ferences on these subjects,
 MT. Rowell objected that it was i'm possible for distant countries to send their best men abroad four times a year to attend the assembly and the conferences and declared that the re- | suit would be to throw these organiza- tions under European influence. The assembly, he held should occupy itself with these questions.
 Canada, at any rate, he said, felt that these were questions that should not be allowed to fall into European control
 Fifty thousand Canadian soldiers under the sod in France and Flanders IS the price Canada has paid for Eu- ropean statesmanship," he cried, to the astonishment of the entire assembly and the dismsy of some of these dele gates.
 Arthur Balfour and MT. Fisher were plainly affected by the thrust from a British dominion: they remained mo- tionless in their seats through the bal ance of the debate with grave faces ! Lord Robert Cecil, representing South Africa in the assembly, in a gentle
 way softened the blow by saying that
 he agreed with much that MT. Rowen had said, but thought MT. Rowell was mistaken in supposing that the or
 ganizations would fall under the con-
 trol of Europe. He could go into g
 debate as to whether Europe hat
 made it's way in the world"
 Several of the delegates suggested tt MT. Powell that his words had created a different impression than he had in
 tended. The Canadian delegate tool ! the floor again and said he did no mean to attack European statesmen and rather than give offense preferred . to withdraw his words.

MARION. Ohio, Dec. S.-After a months vacation trip to Texas and Panama, Presideut- -elect Harding re- turned to Marion today to lay the foundations of his administration and its policies in consultation with many of the nations leading statesmen.
 The meeting of minds" he promised during the campaign will begin early next week after he has disposed of accumulated correspondence and has put into more concrete form the qCes- tions he wants to ask those who came here to confer with him. The league Of nations will be foremost in his dis cussions, but several other problems will be kept in mind as he gathers ad- vice and prepares himself for executive responsibility.
 Throughout the campaign and since
 Mir. Harding has declared many times that there are urgent questions to be decided in the nations domestic affairs and to these he will give attention in some of his conferences here. For one thing. he had advocated a reorganiza- tion of several government departments to insure better business efficiency end he is expected before March to dis cuss that subject with some of the countrys most successful business ex- EEuLlNeSs I4GdlllLllts LObl AB must choose his cabinet and must frame the

 Make Big Gut In
 Houston Estimate

WASHINGTON Dec. S.-Repablican members of congress took the first steps today toward revision of tax and tariff laws at the extra session to be called soon after next March 4. Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee announced that his committee would begin hearing within a few days on revision of tax laws, these hearings to continue until January when hearings will be started on tariff Iegislations. Almost simultaneous with this announcement Senator McCumber of North Dakota, acting chairman of the senate finance committee, issued a call for meeting of that committee for tomorrow when plans will be made for hearings simi- lar to those contemplated by the house committee.
 The senate and house committee alike hope to conclude their hearings by the end of the present session. The house committee, Chairman Fordney said. expects to be able to begin the work of drafting the new tax and tar if measures as soon as the extra ses- sion is convened.
 Chairman Fordney said today that he had in mind a definite plan for simplification of the tax on corpora tion incomes. One of his proposals is flat tax on the incomes of all cor porations having no qualification or other modifying provisions" Mir. Fordney also said it was his desire that the income tax laws be made so simple that corporation will not have to hire an expert or a lawyer to figure how much it owes the gov | ernment."
 | The ways and means chairman de- clares that the study of Secretary Houston's report had shown him that the estimates for governmental ex- penditures are ridiculously high"
 ''I can go down the list of estimates of the secretary and chop out approxi- mately billion and quarter dollar: l as unnecessary" MT. Fordney said | Just for example, he wants s1S1,000, 900 for the ward risk insurance bureau think that is a hundred million o

The secretary of the treasury said the excess profits tax should be re- peaied and must, of course. be replaced, He said he believed it should be "re- placed in large part by some form or corporation profits tax
 Reduction of the higher groups of the income surtaxes accompanied by increases in the lower income surtax rates also is suggested by the secre- tary, who asked that congress "con- sider such a general revision, with reduction to a maximum rate lower than that contained in the present law, provided acceptable new taxes of equal yield can not be found"
 The secretary said the plain fact was that the present rates, which were as high as 70 per cent, could not be sue cessfully collected and that "the eff fective way to tax the rich is to adopt rates that do not force investment in tax-exempt securities.
 Mir. Houston suggests a number of sources of revenue which could be tapped and other which could be re- vlsed to make up for the losses of revenue occasioned by the changes in Inc taxes which he recommended. These sources were outlined as follows:
 Some Increases Recommended
 A tax of 20 per cent on corporation profits, distributed or undis.ributed, in addition to application Of a higher sur tax rate to yield S6SO. 000.
 An additional tax of per cent on corporation incomes to yield s465.- 0o0,O00.

It may be stated for the benefit of those growers not acquainted with Mir. Cook and his connection with the in- dusry that he is the representative of the department of agriculture who has had general responsibility, for cotton breeding and adaptation. including the development of upland varieties of cot ton under different conditions in Texas and other parts of the eastern. cotton belt, as well as the comparison of Egyptian cotton with upland varie- ties in Arizona and California.
 Recommended Original Stock
 Mir. Cook has been in touch for more than 12 years with the development of the cotton industry in the Salt River valley and made the original sugges- ton of bringing into this valley lhsl stock that was being selected by Mir. Kearney near Yuma. As is well known to those in touch with the early dsvel-l opment of the industry here, the first experiments were conducted at Yuma and were then transferred to the ex-l pertinent farn at Sacaton, which is conducted in cooperation with the h. dian service. and where much O. the practical work in connection with the breeding of the American Egyptian cotton has been done.
 There seems to be a mistaken idea on the part of some of our local peo pie who are not aware of the work being done with other varieties. to as1 sume that the department of agricul- ture is interested exclusively in tho l Egyptian type Of cotton and is not giy s l ing attention to the merits of upland varieties. Some of the cotton growers also seem to fail to realize that the question of varieties Is a very distinct and different question from communtts organization which all those who haye studied our local situation partially seem to agree is essential if we ara l to establish and maintain any vel known variety on a scale of commerl cial production.
 Future of Pima Involved
 1 The successful future of the Pima 1 type of cotton is involved in our abtlits locally to raise specific amounts of this cotton Of uniform type from standard seed, and it Is generally recognizes that we invite disaster by allowing oul seed stocks to be contaminated witt upland cotton. MT. Cook. at the TO. quest of a number Of cotton growers l yesterday made the following state ment:
 Adaptations of the Egyptian cottos have been studied in comparison witt those of the upland varieties in man. i localities. Ssattered over Che whol range of cotton production in tn. United States from the Sacrament and San Joaquin valleys of Californi to South Carolina and southern NirI 1 ginia. Several well known upland va rieties have been developed by the de pertinent of agriculture, and estahl llished in cultivation in the last decade lin different parts of the cotton bel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-More equitable and just dis trbution of the four billion dollar tax burden which the American people must bear for at least four years recommended congress today by Secretary Hous ton who in his annual report submitted comprehensive scheme of tax revision.
 Revision of taxes should be effected, MT. Houston wrote congress "There can and should be better dis trbution of the tax burden Unwse should be e mated But any scheme which would affect this fiscal year yield for several years to less than S4 900 would be incompatible with safety and sound finance And the country should face the fact that present taxes even may not in the future be relied upon to yield the needed revenue
