MRS. LLOYD GEORGE
GOOD CAMPAIGNER
Makes Successful Tour of Bedford Dis
trict During Hot Political
Contest

LONDON. May 25.-Mrs. David
Lloyd George, wife of the British premier,
prides herself on the personal manage
ment of her home at No. 10 Downing
street but she can also make a political
speech with telling effect.
Few by-electionS of recent date have
failed to lure her. and her aggressive
campaign activities have furnished inter
esting copy for the newspapers of all
shades.
Not only has she campaigned in Wales.
the bailiwick of the Lloyd Georges, but
she has invaded opposition territory unin-
undated by the hostile gestures of strong
labor sections.
Perhaps her greatest personal triumph
was her tour of the Bedford district
where a hard fight was waging between
Coalition-LabOr and Labor candidates.
She was acclaimed everywhere
The Labor party sent cars and speakers
in her wake, but they had a chilly recep-
ton.
At Elstow, the birthplace of John Bun
yam, Mrs. Lloyd George received a gift of
a copy of Pilgrims Progress
School children at Wellington gave her
a huge leek, emblematic of Wales. and she
promised to boil, it for her husband on
election day.
The tour was completed by a visit at
Widen to father 100 years old and his
son, aged 81, both Staunch Liberals and
now supporters Of the Coalition.

USE SHOT GUNS
Find Them Better Than Ri
files to Use In Man
Hunting
BYSTANDERS ARE
SAFER FROM SHOTS

Shortness of Effective Range Protection
to Them-Detectives Find Steel Shields
Great Protection in Bombing Raids
and Barbados.
CHICAGO. May 25.-Substitution of
the shot gun for the rifle is the latest
development in man hunting by the Chi
cago police The ime-honored rife-squad
has given way to the pump-gun squad.
The reason for the change was thus out
lined by Michael Hughes, chief of detec-
tiveS:
In close-range fighting the pump gun
is much the more efficient weapon, for
within 90 feet of the objective it has a
spread of four feet. Each shot carries
nine rounds of lead, corresponding in size
to that in So revolver bullet.
In street-fighting. also, the chances of
hitting the innocent bystander are greatly
minimized by the use of the shotgun, be-
cause the effective range is 50 short.
The other day we discovered a new
use for the shotgun. During race after
| bandits in an automobile, one of our men
emptied his gun through the rear curtain
of the speeding machine ahead. The hail
1 of bullets stopped that car as no rifle
shot would ever have done.
'"Fhe gun we use has the shortest stock
! Every one of the detective cars carries
these guns as regular equipment"
/ Another innovation in the detective bu
lreau'S equipment is steel shield. as higl
las a mans head from behind which the
Operatives can direct, in comparativ,
safety, their fire at bandits barricaded il
a building. This portable armor j:
mounted on rollers. and is light enough
so that one man can operate it. Por
holes, through which to fire, and a heav!
glass peep hole are appurtenances.
Bombing. which is now n recognize,
part of police tactics in Chicago. can b,
carried on with great impunity from tn
shelter of this shield, said Chief Hughes

BUDGET NO LONGER
GIVES EXACT ITEMS
Revival of Old Methods Is Said
to Provide Too Much Lee
way for Bureaus.

In addition to $4,000. 900 increase in
wage and salary appropriations over the
tentative budget for 1892. perussl Of the
proposed budget yesterday showed that
the fundamental method OF making
previous budgets by itemizing each pro-
posed expenditure has been discarded
and lump sum appropriations substi-
tuted.
This method, it was pointed out. Is a
virtual nullincation of much that was
fought for in establishing the budget
system. in that it places in the hands
OF department heads enormous lump
sums to be doled out in wages and
salaries when and how they see fit.
| Another change abolishes the former
maximum to be paid to any charity and
places at the disposal of the Commits
sioner Of Public Welfare fund Of
S6.S35.000 to be distributed among in
stitutions according to his assignment OF
wards
A third important departure is th,t
while the budget states that exempt
! positions (any position not rated by
civil service rules) shall be filed at the
minimum rates of 1920, most of the
wage schedule of the budget is made out
on q basis of IS a day for laborers,
which even now is 81 or more higher
than the prevailing rate.
AS result, for example, a lump sum
Of $4,000 is given to the Department
OF Plant and Structures under q single
heading without specifying the number
of workers. whereas the corresponding
appropriation in the 1921 budget was
divided under twenty-five different
heads. Also, in the Department of the
President Of the Borough of Manhattan,
four lump sum items call for $1.257, 900.
while in the 1921 budget the same items
were under twenty-nine different speci-
fcations. The same condition runs
| through practically all departments
1t also appeared that many Of the de-
creases in the proposed budget under
the tentative budget are only paper
reductions. that Is, the reduced appro-
priations will have to be made up later
by special revenue bonds or otherwise
That is true Of the major portion, If not
OF all the slash Of $4,411,000 In pension
items. which constitutes the bulk of the
S6.500.000 gross reduction in the budget
total
The committee on non-partisan facts
sized up the Situation:
IF the cuts made in the tentative
budget had Stood without being used up
in nearly S3,o00,000 payroll increases.
together with the cuts in the proposed
budget, the budget FOR 1922 would have
been $6,517. 900 below the. tentative
budget Of S354,400, 900, or 800, 900 less
than the budget for 1921
As matters now stand, the proposed
budget is S6,400.000 higher than the
1921 budget and s2.O00,o00 higher than
the total Of $149,5o0.000 which Comp
trcller Charles l.. Craig declared is the
maximum the tax list will produce next
year.
In the hearing yesterday there was a
heated controversy between Stewart
Browne, president OF the United Real
Estate Owners Association, and mem
bers OF, the board. during which the
Mayor threatened to have Mr. Browne
| elected II he did not couch his criticisms
in more civil terms.

EXCESS PROFITS TAX
REPEAL Is FORECAST
Senate, 80 to 28, Defeats
Amendment Proposing In
definite Retention.

wAsHINcroN, Oct. 25 (Associated
Press) Final repeal of the excess
profits tax on next January I was fore
cast tonight with the defeat by the
Senate of an amendment to the tax re-
vision bill proposing indefinite retention
OF this tax at the present rates. Tho
vote was 80 to 2s. with four Republicans
joining the solid Democratic majority In
supporting the amendment.
Senator Reed (Mo.). author of the
defeated amendment. Immediately pro-
posed another for continuation Of the
profits tax at about half the present
rates. This was under debate when the
Senate recessed at p. M. until II A. M.
tomorrow, under unanimous consent
agreement to have final vote on the
repeal of the profits tax at p. M. to-
morrow. ttrr 8
The New York herald., 1921-10-26

The session to-night was the first OF
the long threatened night ones to sex-
pedite passage Of the tax bill. but 1t
ended more than two hours before the
time originally agreed upon. Debate on
the second Reed amendment had Waxed
warm when Senator Penrose (Pa.), In
charge Of the tax measure, said ho was
not disposed to keep the Senate to-
gether longer if he could obtain unani-
nous consent agreement to vote at 4
p. M. tomorrow.
This agreement was the first ar
rived at between the Democrats and Re-
publicans and followed all day confer
cnces between majority and minority
leaders which resulted in failure to
come to any understanding as to a day
for final vote on the bill.
Senator Hitchcock (Neb. told, the
Senate that the excess profits tax had
the same justification as the graduated
income tax. He added that he could not
see why corporations making profits
above s per cent. upon the capital In
vested could not pay a graduated tax
just as individuals did
The Senate swung tonight into the
first of the long threatened night ses-
sions on the tax revision bill. Plans Of
Republican leaders as to procedure after
tonight were somewhat in doubt, but the
majority continued to hold over he
heads of opponents fthe bill the threat
Of a continuous session, beginning to-
morrow. Fifty Republican Senators had
sigped- the, agreement drawn Yesterday
to-remain continuously at the Capitol or
| Within call after. that time for ,QuQroun,
Ecsslls or votes. This number Is one more
than majority of the Senate.
Immediately after the Senate convened
and before half the Senators had settled
in their seats the committee amendment
fixing the nominal income tax at the
present 4 and s per cent rates was
adopted. Later the committee amend
ment increasing from $4,000 to $4,000
the normal exemption allowed heads OF
families having net income of $1,000 or
less, was adopted without roll call
Senator Trammell gave notice that he
would later offer an amendment to this
section proposing even greater increases
in exemptions to men of small incomes
and the elimination of the exemption in
the cases Of single men having incomes
| oG 5000 or more year and heads OF
families having $4,000 or more.
