TAX LIQUOR
AGREED ON By
EP''lUl:BLlICAINS 1
All Alcoholic Spirits With
drawn From Bond Would
Be Taxed.

Washington, Oct. "A tax OF -
gallon on all alcoholic spirits with
drawn from bond for industrial.
medicinal or any other purposes, has
been agreed upon by Republican lead
erss,as a part Of the nex tax revision
program. This is an increase Of $ISQ
a gallon and is expected to yield
s75.tO0,000 additional revenue each
year. q
The proposal to repeal the $4,000
exemption allowed corporations was
abandoned, on the ground that 1t
would work too great a hardship ON
the small corporations. The leaders
also were said to haye decided on
fiat corporation income tax of fifteen
per cent in place Of a ten and fifteeI,
per cent rate.
A maximum income sur-tax rate of
fifty per cent would apply in the case
of incomes in excess of 100000: in
stead Of $500,00o as proposed by the
Democratic senator's. Existing. rates
above 80 per cent would be increased
two per cent. Treasury experts estt-
mate that the, additional yield from
these changes would be $50 900
annually. s.
Estate tax rates would be increased
to maximum of fifty. per cent over
the present 25 per cent, the. highest
rate to apply in the case of estates
valued at $loo,oo 900 or more. The
rates between Is and 40 would be
graduated.
The program as. drawn by leaders,
which includes repeal of the excess
profits tax next January first and re-
tention Of the capital stock tax, is to
be laid before majority members Of
the senate finance COMMITTEES late to-
day. - t'Htsl ..,fE

PRESENT SERIES OF
ARDMORE-PARIS Is
MOST INTERESTING

The ATdmore Pops are scheduled to
play at p. m. today the first of a
three-game series on the local field with
Paris. These three games will be watch
ed with greater interest. than have any
yet played in the TO league this sea-
son, not only by the Ardmore rocters,
but by all TO fans in oklahoma and
Texas, and wherever TO fan be. Dur.
ing the past two weeks, Ardmore has
proven itself "A capable contender for
first place in the league standing, and
the predictions of many who have fol.
lowed the progress of the team are to
the effect that the locals will take at
least two out of the three played, if
not all of them.
Ardmore has today the strongest hit
ting outfit in the league, and good
fielding aggregation. Several of the
members of the team have been little
weak, but this is due chiefly to the fact
that they joined after the season had
opened and had not been in training.
Also, on account of scarcity of men in
several of the positions, the Peps have
been forced to use players for more con-
secutive games than is good for them
One of these men is Helms. behind the
bat. Helms is good catcher, but came
after the season had opened and ha;
caught eight straight games without g
let-up.
