CENTENNIAL URGED
FOR BORDER FETE
Sam Hill, Good Roads Croesus,
Wants Federal Appropriation
for Celebration.
BY Universal Service.

Sam Hill, multi-millionaire good
roads enthusiast, of Washington and
Oregon, wants Congress to appro-
pirate 100000 toward defraying the
cost of a celebration concentrating
100 years of peace between the
United States and Great Britain.
The Dominion of Canada is to be
asked for a similar sum, and the
celebration is to be held some time
next fall, when Peace Portal" will
be formally dedicated on the boun-
Diary line between Washington and
British Columbia, at Blaine. Wash.
Hill wants the money turned over
to the Pacific Highway Association
Of Washington. and Congressman Lin
is situated, and John F.. Miller. Of
the First Washington district, have
been requested to handle the bill in
Congress.
Hill has been promoting the portal
celebration for the past two years,
and has carried the message Of the
memorial across seas. He expects to
assemble the representatives of the
nations Of the world at Blaine, and
the friends of disarmament in The
Northwest have seized on the pur-
pose of the celebration as a striking
argument in favor of the naval
holiday.

Camp Ideally Situated.
The camp is ideally situated In tho
Cumberland mountains, on the banks
of Licking Creek. Although not far
from the postoffice and general
store of PocktonviTle, It seems to be
miles from civilization. The President
was seen to gaze longingiy at the
crystal water OF Licking stream this
afternoon. He has a confessed weak
ness for "swimmin' holes" and there
is already some speculation as to
whether he will brave the icy-cold
waters for a plunge.
Tonight the President will sleep In
the open, sheltered by one Of the
twenty reformed army tents that COM
prise the camp The distinguished
campers have provided many com
forts. such as specially constructed
chairs and comfortable cots. In spite
of the presence Of the electrical wiz
ard, however, heat for cooking Is pro-
vided in the good oldsfashioned way.

of the camping party are: Mr.. and

This was determined upon last night.
as officials In charge Of Volstead law

ures, to stop the flood Of liquors from
foreign ports, brought in by liquor
ships.
Under the plan projected by prohibit
ton officials, Revenue Commissioners
Blair will be urged to seek additional
authority by which the revenue cutter
and coast guard services can bring
their speedy chasers into more effec-
tive play. 1t was proposed that Gov
eminent vessels at the Gulf coast ana
Pacific stations. which are primarily
engaged In detecting smugglers. be
temporarily assigned to duty at points
along the Atlantic coast.
Among other plans tentatively out.
lined was a proposal to ask Congress
for special authority whereby some
of the Governments vessels, ow tied
up in many American harbors without
much activity, be temporarily assigned
to the Prohibition Init Of tho Treas

1t developed today that Government
enforcement officials have for months
known of the gigantic operations OF

smuggling.
Literally millions Of gallons OF
choice WHISTLES and wines have come
through Atlantic Coast inlets and

the beginning Of the present year. The
flow OF foreign liquors coming In by
the smuggling route has increased
steadily since then. and has attained

.LONGNORTH BILL
WILL Be USED IN
REVISING TAXLAW
Ways and Means Committee
Agrees informally on Work.
ing Basis.
BY A. o. HAYWARD.
international News Service.

The first forecast of proposed tax
revision was given last night. when
II was learned that the Ways and
Means Committee agreed informally to
use the Longworth bill as the work
ing basis for the overhauling OF the
tax laws.
The Longworth bill provides for:
First-Repeal Of the excess profits
tax.
second-Repeal of the smaller war
taxes.
taxes to 40 per cent on incomes OF
sS2 900.
Fourth--Increased corporation IN
come taxes from 10 per cent to Is per
cent.
Although members of the committee
refused to say that these L."oosals
would all be finally embodied In the
tax revision law, they predicted that
the bill would be drafted along these
general lines.
How Much Revenue
The committee today found itself
confronted with a problem in de-
termining just how much revenue 1t
will be necessary to raise by taxation.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon ad-
vised the committee that the tax legts-
lation should yield an annual revenue
of $4,000, 000. 900. exclusive Of receipts
from customs. estimated at $1,000 =
900. and postal revenues, which exceed
$500 900 900, but which are used for
the expenditures of the postal service.
Financial experts Of the committee
n that tho m Qtl r.
ed by Secretary Mellon would be
necessary. They predicted that econo-
mics in Government and the general
trend toward reduced appropriations
by Congress would make this sum I'M
necessary.
Under the plans tentatively outlined
by the committee today no effort will
be made to devise new taxes for those
which are to be repealed. The COM
mittee hopes that increased revenues
can be secured by a readjustment of
existing taxes and by inducement Of
fered through reduced surfaces, to
for more profitable tax-paying invest
ments.
one OF the minor discords In the
committee was ironed out today when
it was decided by Chairman Fordney
that public hearings would begin on
Tuesday next and continue until
Friday.
Tax Experts to Testify.
Previous plans Of the chairman to
limit the testimony to Treasury ex-
perts were abandoned and Congress
man Frear, Of Wisconsin, who has led
the opposition to this proposal. was
appeased. Frear announced that ne
would summon a number of tax ex-
perts to appear in opposition to sales
tax. Assurances were given Frear by
the committee members, however. that
such testimony would be useless. as
they had no present intention of levy
ing such a tax
Chairman Fordney tonight warned
the members of the committee to pre-
pare for action, for he stated that he
will be relentless in his efforts to jam
the tax revision through the commit.
tee for reporting to the House early In
August.
