(western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington.-Rev of the House
tax bill is virtually completed by the
Senate finance committee which, un-
Ter the present agreement, will report
TO the Senate measure having these
outstanding proposals:
Repeal of the excess profits tax as
of next January l, as proposed by the
House.
Reduction of the income surtax rates
from maximum of 65 per cent to 81
per cent, effective next January /.
An increase in the corporation in

House.
Repeal of the corporation capital
stock tax as OF next year.
Retention of present rates on eX-
press packages and oil by pipe lines
and retention of the taxes on freight
and passengers for the calendar year
1922 only at half the present rates
of 3 per cent and s per cent, respec-
lively The House proposed repeal of
all OF these taxes as of next Janu-
AIRY l.
In agreeing to the House maximum
surtax rates of 80 per cent the Sen
ate committee adopted a rearranged
schedule of rates under which individ-
uals having incomes of from $4,000 TO

ent surtax of ] per cent.
Beginning with incomes of S6,000
and ending with those of $4,000, the
rates in each bracket would be re-
duced l per cent. In the brackets
from $4,000 to $4,000 the existing
rates would be Increased l per cent
and in the brackets from $4,000 to
$4,000 the present rates would stand
Incomes of $4,000 or more would be
taxed at the minimum rate.
Members of the committee explained
that through this plan and the in
creased exemptions allowed to heads
of families and on account of depend
ents there would be reduction of the
income taxes all along the line except
In the case of single men having in
comes of $1,000 or less.
The loss in revenue through the re-
arrangement of the surtaX rates was
estimated by treasury experts at S18,

new MARKETING
SCHEME FOR GRAIN

KANSAS CITY, June 6.-Plans for
putting into operation in Missouri and
in Audrain County the U. S. Grain
Growers, Inc, were worked out Tues
day at a conference held in Kansas
City. Mr.. J. F. Parker, president of
the Farmers Elevator at Laddonia,
who attended the conference as a rep
resentative of the grain growers of
this county, is understood to have
agreed to take an active part in the
organization work.
Most grain growers already are
familiar with the general plan of the
u. S. Grain Growers, Inc, briefly
it includes a reorganization of the
present entire unsatisfactory market
ing system. The whole scheme hinges
on two sets of contracts. Farmers
elevators and local grain growers as
sociations will under. the plan, con-
tract to market their grain through
the National Sales Agency. The
grain growers, as individuals, will
contract their grain to thelocal eleva-
tor for a period of five years.
If a sufficient amount of grain is
contracted this year, the plan will
be put in operation Immediately,
However, many difficulties have been
met by the organization forces and
it may not be possible toget the or
g~anization on a working basis in
time to handle this year crop.
Mr.. Parker said on his return that
apparently the marketing plan that
has been worked out is the most COM
plete in every detail, as well as, COW
ering the widest scope of any cooper
alive enterprise ever before attempt
ed in the history of the world. The
National Sales Agency plans to func-
ton through a terminal agency, plans
to function through a terminal
agency, warehouse corporation, a fin
ancing corporation with a capital Of
one hundred million dollars, export
corporations and service departments
all to be controlled by the National
Sales Agency, which will own the vot-
ing stock in the subsidiary corpor.
atoms.
Mr.. Parker will attend a school to
be held in Kansas City next week, Of
the field men and organizers who are
to work in Missouri and Kansas
They will be especially trained al
that school in the work that they are
to do. AS soon as the school is ended
the work of signing up cooperative
elevators will be started in all parts
of the state. Individual members will
be solicited Immediately after. the
elevators have been signed up.

WHY MEN FAIL.

THERE are various reasons why
men fail. The following reasons from
the editorial section of the Philadel-
phia Public Ledger are to the point
and worth thinking over:
Men fail for various rcaons little
and big.
Most men fail because they are
lazy.
To be lazy means-to be late, to
be slovenly to be a poor economist of
time, to shrink responsibility.
It means to say Of anything that is
clamoring to be done: "No, I'm not
going to do that, because it isn't my
work.
Laziness is at the back of most of
the lesser reasons for failure. The
minor causes are derivatives from
that one great major cause.
It is SO easy to dream in the sun
and let the world go by; to dawdle
and procastinate, till one wakes up
too late.
Late and lazy are, in fact, first
cousins.
II you are late, you waste other
peoples time as well as your own.
Lazy people have all the time there
is, and yet they haven't time to be
polite. They disdain the forms of
ceremony that sweeten life.
They are grouchy, surly, gruff. 1t
pains them to be pleasant, to say
thanks and smile.
To be deferential is not to be SER
vile. 1t is merely to be decently res
pectful.
The biggest men are the most un-
assuming and the most unpresuming
It is the insignificant people who
fluff themselves up with a false and
foolish pride and are forever Grating
from the fimsy and slippery platform
of their own touchy dignity.
Failure is generally elective. 1t
rests with the mar himself to decide
whether he cares enough for success
to pay the price.

THE RENT QUESTION.

HOUSE and rooms are IN demand
in Mexico. Recently a house which
rented for three dollars a month, a
five room house, in 1914 was raised to
SIS a month. This raise was gradual
rising to six, eight, ten, fifteen, and
then eighteen dollars.
Another instance Of housing needs
comes from the fact that a business
mar came to this city recently and
sought offices. He searched the en-
tire city over for what he required
and finally had to take, not what he
wanted, but what he could get. He
came near leaving the city.
Mexico is in need of more homes
and more business buildings its seems.
This is a good indication ofour growth
If we are to continue to grow such
needs must be met to the satisfaction
of the public or we will not progress
as we should.

IS OVER"

THE business depression of 1921 is
over according to W. P. G. Harding
governor of the federal reserve board
He further states that the public has
a lot of buying power left and that
prices have reached about the low
level for the present.
A statement of this kind from such
a source vii do much toward estab-
fishing bushes confidence. Buying
begets buying, is one way he put it
and he urges the public to co-opeate
in the work to establish betterbusiness
conditions.

TIP To

MAYOR J. w. Gallaher has inaug-
urated a most c~ommendable policy
regarding juvenile crime in Mexico
and the care of children. His recent
action in placing the responsibility
Of the delinquency of four boys up to
their parents is a move in the right
direction and should lessen the growth
Of crime in Mexico.
He has even gone a step further.
Tn one instance an especially bright
little chap Of Ave years, who has
snent much of the past few months
\ SsTvirig about on thestreets while
saotaer was at work, has been or.
dered kept at home and the mother
Instructed to arrange for his being
KEEP aetay from the streets and out
Of harms way.
Forcing a parent to realize its res
possibility for the future Of a chile
when necessary is one crime ~preventa'
Tive that will make itself felt in the
years to come. The way to build goot
citizens is to direct the youth of the
city along proper channels and K
keep them from developing vicious
habits easily contracted on the streets
and while away from the direction Of
home influence.
Mayor Gallaher should have tht
support Of the community in this
work. 1t is one that never before ha:
been efficiently handled in Mexico
and one that is essential in every par.
ticular. Building better citizens means
laying the foundation for a greater
Mexico.
