TAXES MAY
BE REPEALED AND
INCOME MODIFIED

Washington May 3.-Congression
al committees charged with tax re-
vision had before them today the
treasury suggestion on which they
may base future legislation. Secre-
tary Mellon has transmitted four
specific propositions in a letter to
Chairman Fordney, Of the House
ways and means committee, and
Chairman Penrose of the Senate fl
nance committee as the. principal
bases of revision.
These proposals include a modl-
fed tax on corporate profits or a
flat additional income tax on corpor-
alton in lieu of the present excess
profits tax; reimbursement of income
tax rates so that ne income will pay
more than 40 per cent this year and
IS per cent thereafter, repeal OF the
so-called luxury taxes, and the taxes
on soft drinks; and imposition of
sufficient new and additional taxes OF
wide application, such as increased
stamp taxes or license taxes on the
use of automobiles to bring the total
revenue from taxes to four billion
dollars, after making other changes
suggested.
Mr.. Mellon also made known to
the committees the treasury policy
of refunding outstanding short
term debt, including the victory
notes into government securities
maturing between 1925 and 1928, as
the solution of the problem of meet
ing m~aturities aggregating $780,
900 in the next thirty months. The
program outlined by Mr. Mellon con-
templates actual retirement of the
short-term debt, as a whole, by the
time the third liberty loan falls due
in 1928. .

War Veterans Good Students.

In a report made by the dean OF
the Wisconsin university, especial
mention Is made of the excellent prog
ress made by the 284 disabled soldiers
who are known as federal board stu
dents. Owing to their physical condi-
ton it was anticipated that they might
prove Indifferent students, but such
has not been the case. In this In
stance 1t is said that their progress
compared very f~avorably in every way
with that Of the regular students. The
total number Of these students has
been increasing.

structed, however, and the carting in
dustry died.
From their commercial start in
1869 until the outbreak of the world
war the Russian oil fields were Sec
ond in production except for a few
years when they passed the United
States. When Russian production
reached 100000 barrels in 1884
the United States was producing
4,00O,0 900. In 1898 the output from
Russian fields being 61,609,000 to
the latter's .;55,364,OO0. In 1901
when Russian production reached it's
highest fgure-S5,000,000 barrels,
it was well ahead of that years pro-
duction in the United States, co.
100000 barrels. But the very next
year the United States jumped to
SO, 1000, 900 while Russia advanced to
only SO,OO0,000 The lead of the
United States has increased steadily
since that date.
, "Ln its banner year 1901, Russia
produced a little over half Of the out
put Of petroleum in the entire
world for that year, The production
from the United States was not
much under a half, and over 80 per
cent of the worlds oil came from the
two countries.
Sin 1918, the last complete year
preceding the war, Mexico had join
ed the United States and Russia in
contributing the lions share of the
worlds oil. The three countries pro-
duced practically 80 per cent: the
United States IS, Russia nearly II,
and Mexico partly 7. These three
countries now produce more than
80 per cent of the oil output of the
world, but since 1918 Russia's out
put has fallen steadily, that of the
United States and Mexico has
steadily advanced.
"The 1920 Russian production is
believed to have sunk to about 25,-
100000 barrels. This was consider
ably less the monthly output in
the United States during that year
and was probably not much more
than one-sixth of the Mexican pro-
duction. Due to it's long production
period, Russia has played an impor-
tant part in supplying the worlds
oil. Through 1918 it had furnished
more than one quarter Of all the oil
which had been produced CONNER
,cially in the history Of the, oil indus
try. In the same period the United
States has contributed more than
half.
"The Oldest and best. known oil
fields near Baku are on a bare, de-
sert like plateau a hundred feet or
more above the Caspian sea. The oil
sands are found at various depths.
The pools are believed to be in lens
shaped pockets largely independent
of each other. Gas pressure in many
cases is very high. AS a result gush-
ers of great initial production arc
struck but unlike the Mexican wells,
the production is not long lived. It.
is believed, however, that the oil
pockets are numerous and that many
are untapped. -.

 SPEAKERS DECLARE

"The people of the United States have an investment of three and one half billion dollars in educational plants for the maintenance of which the annual budget is about a billion and a quarter" declared speakers last Fri day evening at a representative gath ering from the churches of the city held at the First Presbyterian church. Oth- CT facts brought out were:
 "This investment includes both pub lie and private schools of all grades. There are 450,000 students in the uni- versailles and colleges. about one half of these being in institutions with church connections
 Tn the public and private high schools and academies of the country there are 1,500,000 students. the great majority in state institutions.
 Tn the last four years the leading Protestant churches of the country have added s100.000,000 to their invest ment in colleges and other institutions for higher learning.
 And yet in spite of all this it is estimated that there are in the country $500 0o0 illiterates above 10 years of age, 5S.00o,000 not claiming direct con- nection with any church, and 25, ,00t children and youth under 25 years of age, and nominally Protestant, who are not in any Sunday school or other in stitutions for religious training.

Japanese Remain Buddhists.

That so per cent of the Japanese
living in the sugar plantation camps
of Hawaii never have been touched
by Christian propaganda, and that
American plantation owners, managers
and others who have helped support
Japanese Buddhist missions, did a
foolish thing, if ever man did," were
two of the statements made by Rev.
Ulysses G. Murphy, representative of
the American Bible society, in re
cent address at Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Murphy also said that the
elder generation of Japanese living
in the plantation camps, owing to their
isolation, are forty years behind their
native country in thought and under
standing of modern conditions.
Any attempt at Americanization Of
the japanese in Hawaii which leaves
untouched their home life and fails
to recognize that the key to the prob
lem is the Japanese language schools
is foredOomed to failure, Rev. Mr..

Ladies'! Darken
Your Gray Hair
It's Grandnother's Recipe to Bring
Back Color and Lustre to Ha:r

That beautiful, even shade of dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre of
your hair
Every body uses "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another ap-
plication it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy and lustrous.
