FAVOR ACCUSING
 TAX EXEMPT ISSUES
Claim Industries Are Hampered. Advise Cutting Income
 SurtaX.

Reduction of the federal surtaxes upon incomes at least as to amounts which are saved and invested in tax able securities, no exemption of any future issues of securities, which can be taxed denial of exemption for in come from mortgage investments and even the repeal of certain exemptions now allowed under the Merchant Ma rine Act, are contained in the report of a special committee on taxation of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce.
 The report IS in harmony with de- cisions of the American Bankers As sociation, the National Tax Associa- tion, the Investment Bankers Asso- citation and various other organiza- tiOns of financial and commercial in terests as we'll as of tax administra- tors and professional economists. The report says
 With large amounts of securities outstanding from agencies of such a nature that, under present law, the interest IS free from federal income tax, certain of the present surtaxes are SO high as to result i'll the taxpayer shift ing much capital from investments in industrial and commercial activities to these tax-free securities. The amount of these securities outstanding has been increasing by large amounts.
 Such securities as are already out standing have certain equities attach ing to them, and respecting the exemp- ton of their interest there should ac- cordingly be no change in the law. Moreover, as the supreme court decided in June that the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution does not extend the federal taxing power to any subject earlier excepted, it would seem that future issues of bonds of states and their subdivisions cannot be made sub ject to federal income taxes so long as the Constitution remains in its pres ent form.
 That this should be the situation with respect to future issues causes us regret, as the existence of an increas- ing body of securities the interest on which is free from federal tax will afford means for having income free from federal tax. As to other future issues the committee wishes to record its strong conviction, and recommends that there should be no exemptoin of any future issues the income from which may lawfully be made subject to

CONNECTICUT MINES
 PRODUCTION LARGER

The report of the United States Geological Survey, just issued, shows that Connecticut, Massachusetts, Mary land Missouri and Texas and several other states in which number of small iron mines are located, producing hema- tite and brown ore, mined about 176,OOO tons in 1920 an increase of 6 per cent over 1919 The average selling value of this type of ore is given at $41S a ton, an advance of 19 cetns over the previous year. As compared with many other states those named, in cluding Connecticut, are, of course, a rather unimportant factor in the min ing world.
 The iron ore mined nthe United States in 1920 exclusive of that which contained more than 5.5 per cent. of manganese, IS estimated at $7,773 000 gross tons, an increase of 12 per cent as compared with the output in 1o1o The shipments of ore from the mines i'll 1920 are estimated at 6o,55S, 900 gross tons, valued at $2oO,oO7 ,OO0, an

tax. This recommendation is made ir- respective of the source of the issue 1. e.. whether the source is the federal government or some agency such as a federal farm loan bank
 "Questions of exemption arise in other ways. For instance, it has been suggested that the interest upon an individuals holdings of mortgages up on improved real estate should be ex enpted from income tax in order that larger amounts of money may be at tracted into this form of investment However pressing the current need for more housing, the committee believes that the desirability of uniformity in taxaton, and of prevention of an in crease in the burden of taxation i'll other directions to compensate the loss in revenue from such exemptions, out weigh the arguments which have been brought forward i'll favor of the ex emption.
 "A recent enactment of Congress per hitting certain exemptions from in come and excess-profits taxes for ship ping companies should not be taken as precedent but should rather be re- pealed."

AN AID
 IN ALL EMERGENCIES

The telephone can be made an inval- uable aid i'll emergencies if 1t IS prop erly used. %lt Is used many times daily in summOning help in cases of 1awless- ness, accident and fire and Is, i'll fact, the only means of quickly securing the police and tlremen i'll some of our small communities. But many persons, by improper use of the telephone, are de prived of the prompt aid 1t can bring.
 In case of an emergency Ill which the hremen, policemen or a physician may be needed, keep cool. Or if you cant keep cool, just keep as cool as you can and reach for your telephone.
 Give your call for help to the oper- ator in such a way that your need will be understood. Don't simply shout Help" and then drop the instrument. The operator will not know what sort of help you want.
 The right way to summon help Is to say, for example: 'I want to report a fire" T want a policeman" T want an ambulance"
 If you are compelled to leave the telephone before your call is answered, be sure to tell the operator where the help IS wanted.
 The little lady at the telephone will then deliver your plea for help. But to do so, she must know what is wanted and where it is wanted.
 If you follow this method the tele- phone will render the service you have a right to expect of 1t. But proper use of the instrument is your part of the service

IMMIGRATION BILL
GOES TO HARDING

The emergency immigration bill
went to President Harding for his
signature last night. The report
was approved by both the Senate
and the House.
AS passed by the House the bill
would have limited immigration
from May 30. 1921. until June 80,
1922. to approximately 355.o0o. I'm
migrants from each country during
that period would have been limited
to per cent of the nationals al
ready in this country as shown by
the 191 census.
The Senate agreed to that degree
OF restriction. but demurred to an
exemption allowed by the House in
reference to immigrants seeking ad-
mission here to escape religious
persecution in the land of their ma
tivity. The House conferees agreed
to the Senate elimination of that
exemption.

SO doing, a material advance could
be made toward a redistribution of
