HOPE TAX MEASURE
WILL LESSEN BURDEN
OF SMALL TAXPAYER

WASHINGTON, July 23-The house
ways and means committee will set
about tax revision with the idea of
raising $4,000, 000,00 revenue, exclu-
sive of postal receipts, in the next
year. Chairman Fordney said last
night after he, with other Republican
members of the committee, had con-
ferred with Secretary Mellon on the
general subject Of taxation. The
amount required is the same as has
been raised by the present law and
shows no hope therefore of a reduc-
ton in the gross amount needed. How
ever, it is hoped to lessen the burden
to the small taxpayer by finding new
sources of taxation.
The governments requirements will
be met, however, in a slightly differ
ent manner than under the present
law, the chairman said Many changes
are proposed in hope of readjusting
the burden in a way that will encour-
age commerce and industry and there
by increase the revenue, according to
Mr.. Fordney.
VIII SOnSuit F1drOIn9
Although the conference with the
treasury head was said to have pro-
vided basis upon which the COM
mittee may begin work Tuesday, Mr..
Fordney probably will take up the
subject with President Harding be-
fore proceeding. 1t was understood
he hoped to confer with the president
Monday.
From Mr. Fordney's remarks, it ap-
peared that majority committee mem
bers were agreed on abolition of ex-
cess profits tax and substitution for
! it of some levy on corporations, prob
| ably around Is per cent. Reduction
| in the higher surtaxes in incomes also
| seemed assured. since they are re-
| garded at the treasury as driving can
J ital into tax-exempt securities and as
| a Encouragement to investments of
a nature that produce federal revenue
| The new tax bill probably will be
made retroactive over the calendar
year of 1921 based on the calenda /
period. AS to other taxes, Mr.. Ford
ney said he hoped to make most Of
them applicable Immediately upon
passage of the bill.
Many War Taxes to Go.
/ Transportation taxes would be re-
jpealed under Mr.. Fordney's plan, but,
he said, it might not be possible to do
so, Many special wartime taxes, de-
scribed recently by Mr.. Mellon as
"nuisances," are certain TO be elimin-
ated under the program to be advo-
Gated by the committee chairman.
AS for a reduction in the taxes on
normal incomes or the raising of the
personal income exemptions. Mr..
Fordney held out little hope. He said,
however, that if sufficient new
sources of revenue can be tapped to
offset the losses anticipated through
abolition of the excess profits and re-
duction of the higher surtaXes on in.
comes, the personal income exemp-
tons will get some consideration, as
will the rates on the normal incomes
Chairman Fordney would not sa
that a general tax reduction was pos.
sible, but emphasized that the burden
could be made lighter thr = IN re
distribution of the levies.

BUSINESS PENDULUM
To SWING BACK SOON,
DECLARES MEREDITH

E. T. Meredith, former secretary
OF agriculture. says that many facts
indicate that 1t is now about time for
the business pendulum of the United
States to return in the direction Of
business recovery. In an advance
copy of an editorial which will ap-
pear in Successful Farming, he gives
the following reasons why the farmer
now should take an optimistic view
of his business situation:
The wheat carry-over from last sea-
son is the smallest in years. The
latest information indicates that the
1921 crop is no larger than the 1920
crop.
Stocks of wheat at terminals and
in country elevators are reported to
be more than so per cent lower than
a year ago. The visible supply is
the smallest in eighteen years.
The supply Of -four in the hands OF
merchants as well as consumers is
very low. There was 20 per cent less
-four manufactured during the year
ending June 1 than during the pre-
ceding year.
OF vital interest to farmers is the
fact that there is a decided shortage
in livestock. If per capita consump-
ton of meat and meat products were
suddenly to return to normal, the de
mand for meat would be far greater
than the supply.
During the first five months of 1921
there were 7,716 business failures in
the United States as compared with
2,67S for the corresponding period OF
1920. An expert statistician estimates
that at present there are about three
million persons ordinarily employed in
industries in the United States out Of
employment. 1t has been demonstrat
ed that the family of man who ha:
employment consumes three times a!
much of the things people eat, veal
and use, as it does when the head O
the family is out of employment Lat
est information indicates that tn,
number of unemployed has probably
reached the maximum and that unem
ployment is now on the decline.

DISSENSION DANGER
TO FRIENDS CHURCH,
SAYS PUBLICITY MAN

Lack of friendliness is the danger
threatening the Society of Friends"
declared Frederick J. Libby. publicity
secretary of the American Friends
Service committee. in the first of the
seven lectures to be delivered by him
during the Young Friends conference,
at Earlham.
"In Europe the people do not con-
slider that the Societtyof Friends have
differences They think all Friends
are friends. If l possess the gift of
promise and have faith to move
mountains, and am destitute of love.
I am nothing. The society is nothing
If it lacks friendship. 1t is the young
Friend who has not got theological
controversies that must break down
the hardness of the mature and inn
press the fact that religion is not
a matter of the head or intellect, but
of the heart"
Love is Fundamental
Love is the first commandment.
Love is the second commandment
Love is all of them. You young Friends
need to know your Bible. I would
not say that there is nothing in doc
trine and right conduct, but there is
more beyond. Your correct belief and
conduct today is worthless tomorrow
because you grow out of it as you find
Christ"
THE responsibility of the young
Friend is to bring love into the hearts
of their elders. You are the real
thing when your friendliness is not
official, but of the spirit. The Chris
tian unity that will bind the Friends
into a body that shall be worthy of
it's heritage is unity in the spirit OF
love, love such as we find in our Saw
ior Jesus Christ.
World Needs Service
"The world needs Friends who prove
their spiritual descent from George
Fox and William Penn by deserving
the term spelled with a small (. 1t
Is not masters but servants that the
world longs for. 1t has too many
masters. The lesson of Christian
life is mightier as sermon than the
most perfect statement of creed
that man can utter. Religion consists,
not in correct beliefs, but in life that
is filled with Gods spirit. This is
what the world needs-Friends who
are friends"
Mr.. Libby will deliver the second
of his series of lectures at 10:45
o'clock Monday morning. Lillian
Hayes, of Dunreith, is to be in charge
of a general social for Friends Satur-
day night Two young Friends will
lead a devotional meeting Sunday
niglH Approximately 200 delegates
are now enrolled for the conference.
Some motored through from Virginia,
while Lillian Dyer, of Oklahoma. Paul
F'urnas of Indianapolis, and Chester
Reagan of Spiceland. came to the con-
ference after attending the world con-
vention of the Christian Endeayor in

there. we're infested and some small
acreages may have been badly hurt.
But in the total the loss seems to be
insignificant. Corn needs rain and if
we have our fair share of it we will
still raise a banner crop in Ran
dolph."
Hides Back on Free List.
The House measure which restored
hides, leather and shoes to the free
list, passed by a vote of 287 to 1877
on Thursday, and was then sent to the
senate. The amendment previously
approved. placing a duty of Is per
cent on hides, was knocked out by a
vote of ia to 239.
Just what benefit the farmer would
obtain from tariff on hides is prob
lematical. The one thing certain is
this: 1t would enhance the value of
all the hides now in tanners and
packers hands, also Immediately ad-
vance feathers made from American
stock, as well as that made from i'm
ported skins. Shoe manufacturers
would find an excuse for marking up
shoes accordingly. The Interests"
would reap harvest from surplus
stocks on hand. but it is doubtful that
a Is per cent tariff would net the
farmers rs cents additional on a steer
Payments Total $2,75s,573,oco
Foreign countries during 1920 paid
the United States for grain, cotton
dairy and meat products about 81.
759 $4,000, or more than three times
the pre-war average of $S48, 338, 900
Considering the impoverished condi
ton of many European countries and
the deprecated rate of foreign ex
change, it is rather remarkable thai
these countries have been able to pay
this large amount Of money for food
products. That they were able to dc
it was no doubt due in part to the
very liberal credits which have beer
extended by American exporters ant
American financial institutions.

EXPERIMENTAL ROAD
IN OHIO IN L|MELIGHT
tBy Associated Press)

COLUMBUS, o., July 23.-The ex-
perimental road just south of here,
built in 1912 by the state highway de-
partment in an effort to determine the
comparative value and length OF serv-
ice of different types of paving, again
is in the limelight. Since the road
been taken of it until recent agitation
aroused by the alleged destruction of
state and county roads by tractors.
An investigation made by James NJ
Marker, former state highway COM
missioner, under whose supervision
the road was built, shows, he said,
only two of the original Il sections
of paving have retained their identity,
the brick and asphalt sections.
The cost to the state for repairs
on the cement, macadam, and petri-
falt type, according to Marker. each
year has been an average of $1,000 a
mile, and the repairs in 1917 amounted
to more than $4,000 a mile, he said
AS a means of testing the different
types and makes of paving brick, as
well as the filters which give best
service when used with brick, Is diff
ferent sections were laid, with one of
asphalt block. State highway depart
ment officials are being advised of
the results of the investigation.
Marker has kept closely in touch
with the repair work which has been
necessary on the road, he said.
Holes, said to have been dug by a
tractor in about half a mile of the
road on the Winchester pike, started
the investigation.
