Hope For Peace
Lies In Church
McAfee Holds

The speaker at Willamette uni
versity chapel this morning was
Reverend Ralph McAfee, secretary
OF the Portland Council OF Church
es. World limitation of armament
was the subject OF his address.
Speaking of the world confer
ence beginning Saturday at Wash
ington he said, civilization is
hanging In the balance. Too many
people who should be good citi-
zens are lethargic and seem to
know nothing about the immens-
ity of the problem that hangs ov-
er our heads at the present mo-
ment." a
Quoting from several prominent
statesmen Reverend McAfee stat
ed there is only one chance for the
world civilization to be saved, and
that is by the churches working
together to prevent another war.
Showing the possibilities OF de-
struction OF life with the latest
scientific discoveries In gas he
stated that another war could
easily wipe out civilization itself.
"The Honorable Mr.. Story, pre-
mier OF Australia. said the only
agency that can offer any hope Is
the Christian church, and Mr..
story says this although he Is not
church man." continued Mr..
McAfee.

UNARMED
PEACE NOT
In SIGHT
Disarmament Cannot
Result From Wash
ington Conference
MAYO Tells KiwaniS

That only limitation of arma-
ments can be hoped for through
the international conference at
Washington, called by President
Harding, November IL, was con-
tended by Admiral Il. Mayo, COM
mander of the Atlantic fleet dur
ing the war, in his speech made
before the Kiwanis club this noon
in the Marion hotel.
Preparedness Urged.
In speaking of the late war Ad-
miral Mayo called attention to the
feeling then which prevailed the
country that we should always be
prepared, and STAYED that no mat
ter what our limitation might be,
as expected to be provided by the
conference, the country's military
strength should be kept up to that
| Limitation.
II think we ought to probe our
selves and see how near Germany
came to winning the war" stated
the speaker. mot until 1918 did
the United States have an army on
the front.
Many people have that idea
that the possession of armaments
makes nation somewhat pugnar
cious. / can think of nothing more
erroneous. No one realizes the
horror of war more than those In
the regular military service.
Disarmament Not Aim.
People are also inclined to
, speak of this conference as dis
armament conference. Get it out
of your heads that complete dis
armament is possible. All that
can be expected from this confer
ence is some disarmament which
will reduce taxes and cost of gov
ernment"
In speaking further Of disarma-
ment the speaker stated that there
was not sufficient trust between
nations to allow such a thing, and
that in keeping up with our ex-
pected military limitation did moi
mean that there would be another
war.

TAX BILL
RETURNS
TO HOUSE
Federal Revenue Act
Passed by Senate,
To Be Rewritten for
Third Time

Washington, Nov. S.-The tax
revision bill now faces its third
rewriting, this time by the house
and senate conferees.
The measure finally was passed
early today by the senate 38 to "a,
at the end of continuous session
lasting nearly sixteen hours. 1t
will be returned to the house when
that body reconvenes tomorrow
and republican leaders there plan
to send it to conference Thursday.
1t may reach the president for his
approval late in the month.
Minor Changes Expected
At rough estimate, treasury
experts say the bill in its present
form would net approximately
$3,250,000.000 or 5000, 900, 900
less than the present law, and
about the amount of revenue
which treasury officers have said
the government must have. Even
tually the bill, the experts as
sert, would reduce the nations
tax toll by about $750,000,000 a
year. While they undoubtedly
will make many changes in the
measure, the conferees are not ex-
pected materially to alter the
revenue total. As the bill stands
there are just three major pro-
visions on which. the house and
senate agree. They are repeal OF
the excess profits tax and the
transportation taxes on next jan
uary 1, and the retention of the
present tax on corporation cap
ital stock.
other outstanding provisions
of the bill are:
Income Exemption Raised
A reduction in the maximum
surtax rate from 65 per cent on all
over 81, 100000 to so per cent on
all over 100000 as against the
mouse TeuuCIlUu w oH pei SShS "a
all over $4,000.
Retention Of the house provis-
ion granting increased normal cx-
emptions of $500 to heads of fam
lilies having net income of $4,000
or less and 5000 on account OF de-
pendents.
Repeal of the $500 normal ex-
emption to corporations except In
the case of thoseh aving net in
comes of $25,00O or less.
An increase in the estate tax
maximum rate from 25 per cent on
all over 100000 to 80 per cent
| on all over $1O0,OO0,Oo0. In
creased taxes on medicinal beer,
wine and whisky.
Soda Tax Cut.
| A provision of the excise taxes
I on chewing gunm, sporting goods
musical instruments, electric fans
and many other articles as well a.
the stamp taxes on proprietary
\ medicines and toilet preparations
The levies on fountain drinks ant
ice cream also are cut.
