AGAINST
SALES TAX
mo Use to Advance
Novel Suggestions" "
Says Senator, Wants
Further Revision

Washington, Oct. Further
revenue revision legislation ought
70 be enacted for the next taxable
year or as soon thereafter as pos
sible, Chairman Penrose, Of the
senate finance committee said today
in a statement emphasizing that
the pending measure was merely of
temporary and emergency char
acter
Discussing the sales tax, Sena-
tor Penrose said there was mo
use to advance novel or untried
suggestions Of taxation at time
when promptness Of action of some
kird is the slogan" House lead
ers were even more pronounced
in their declaration regarding such
a tax, Chairman Fordney, Of the
ways and means committee. and
Representative Mondell, Of Wyo-
ming, the Republican leader. de-
claring that no such proposal
could be put through the house.
Mr.. Mondell insisted that there
had been no change in the house
sentiment; that there should be a
lifting and not shifting of
taxes" Mr. Fordney took similar
view and it was indicated that
house leaders would insist upon a
tax revision program substantially
in accord with that agreed at the
White House conference last Aug
uSt.
Senator Penrose said there were
many sources Of revenue and meth
DDS of taxation that ought to be
considered by congress at an early
date and that he intended to ad-
dress the senate on this particular
subjejct."
Just as soon as the pending bill
becomes a law" he added, Il hope
to submit to the consideration OF
some tribunal, either special tax
committee or the committees Of the
house and senate number OF sug-
gestions that may be fruitful.
Meantime we have only one
thing to do; get the country out OF
the depths into which it has been
plunged and restore business and
ssndustrial activities ard employ
ment and correct inconvenience
as much as possible
Senate consideration of the tas
bill was confined today II a vigor-
Gus assault on rne measure by Sen
ator Reed, Of Missouri, a Demo
cratic member of the finance COM
mittee. He denounced the bill as
IAN infamous piece Of legislation
and declared that the Republican
plan to relieve The wealthy cor
porations and individuals of a
large portion Of their taxes was "a
bootlicking performance.
Several amendments to the tax
ill designed to stimulate construc-
ton of homes were proposed today
by Senator Calder. of New York
head Of the special senate COM
mittee which some time ago made
an investigation Of building condi-
tions. One amendment would pro-
vide that profits from the sale OF
dwellings between January /, 1922
and January l, 1927, shall be eX-
empt from taxation If used in con-
structing other dwellings within
one year after the sale. Another
would provide that taxpayers shall
be allowed an exemption up to So
900 on monies received as interest
on funds loaned for building or
purchasing dwellings.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The peace
treaties with Germany. Austria and
Hungary were before the senate all
of today, with speech Of six
hours by Senator Sheppard Demo
craD Of Texas, in opposition to
ratification and an address by Sen
ator Moses Of New Hampshire, a
Republican ''irrecorcilable,' in ia
vor of the treaties.
Senator Sheppard discussed pro-
ceedings Of the league Of nations
which, he declared, the United
States should join and Senator Mo-
ses in favoring ratification declar-
ed the treaties were the "consum-
nation of the struggle - to
maintain the indepenG ence Of the
United States
1T cuts US loose at once and
hope forever" said Senator Moses,
from that body OF death known
as the league of nations"
The New Hampshire senator op-
posed American representation on
the allied reparation commission,
although, he said, it was no secret
that Secretary Hughes favored such
representation. He added, howev-
er, that he did not share the fears
expressed by Senator Borah of
Idaho, another Republican ire
sconcilable" that the treaties would
force the United States into the
league.
Il can see no reason why an ir-
reconcilable should withhold his as
sent to it's ratification, he said.

most rapid and exciting move
ments of the speculator sessions on
the cotton exchange occurred today
in connection with the publication
Of the government crop reports.
After an early rise of unusual pro-
portions, prices broke violently IN
til within ten minutes reaction OF
125 to 195 points had been record
ed. Before the publication of the
report there was a good deal OF
buying in the expectation that the
figures would show a condition OF
40 or under. When the actual fig
ures of 42.2 We're flashed on the
brokers' wires and new tickers the
market was overwhelmed with
selling orders December contracts
which rose approximately $50 to
21.95, new high mark for the
season on the sharp early upturn,
slumped to 1000 and active months
generally were marked down for
net losses of 80 to 65 points.
Almost as quickly ss it came,
the rush Of liquidation subslded,
and the market became steadier
on the trade buying with recoveries
in the later trading.
In brokerage houses crowds of
traders were lined up in front Of
the cotton boards. The government
report, pointing to crop Of $751;
600 bales, was only slightly above
the average of the private reports
recently issued. and the selling
which followed publication of the
figures was attributed chiefly to
liquidation Of speculative accounts.

were retained by cotton in the New

after one of the most exciting days
in the history Of the local ex-
araye
The outside public looked upon
the government crop condition re-
port and the report of ginnings as
bullish and a certain foreshadowing
Of a cotton famine before the year
is out.
The public buying supported the
market and gave it good rally af-
ter it had dipped approximately
two cents a pound Immediately af-
ter the reading Of the crop report
which did not show as heavy deter
ioration as had been expected.
