HOUSE ADOPTS
NEW TAX MEASURE
TAX REVISION BILL is PASSED
274 TO 1926 EY PARTY
VOTE.
IS EFFECTIVE JANUARY FIRST
On Motion To Recommit Measure, Fit
ty Republicans Bolt Administra-
tion-Denocrats Lose Only
Three Votes.

Notwithstanding tax revision bill
OF 1921, estimated to cut $S18,00O, 900
from the nations tax burden by 1923,
has been passed by the House, 274 to
125, on an almost straight party vote.
Three Democrats supported the meas
ure and nine Republicans voted
against it. The Democrats were
Campbell of Kansas ard Dupre and
Lazaro, both of Louisiana
The Republicans we're Beck of Wis.
consin, Cleague of Minnesota, Keller
of Minnesota, Lampert of Wisconsin
Nicholson of Illinois, John NJ Nelson
OF Wisconsin, Sinclair of North Da'
kota, Voigt of Wisconsin, and Wood
ruff Of Michigan. Representatives
London, Socialist Of New York, voted
against the bill
Compared with the nine Republi
cans above were so who voted for a
Democratic motion to recommit the
bill for limitation Of the provision re
pealing the income surtax rates above
80 per cent. This motion was lost
169 to 230, with one Democrat, Camp
bell Of Kansas, voting against it. The
bill will be sent to the Senate where
it will be taken up after the end Of
the recess on September Il. Mean
time the Senate Finance Committee
will hold additional public hearings CT
the whole tax question, and probably
will revise the measure in several de
tails AS finally passed by the House
with nearly 100 committee amend
ments, the bill is estimated to pro
duce total of 1884, 100000 in reve
nue. this fiscal year, or 1921 .O00. 00(
less than the estimate under the ex
listing law.
AS repeal of the excess profits take:
and higher income surtaxes rate:
would not become effective until mex
January 1, the full force of the meas
ure will not be reflected in govern
ment receipts until the calendar veal
1928, but Republican leaders say tina
through repeal of the transportation
and other taxes the reduction in the
! tax bill in the next calendar year will
be approximately $512,000.000.

DISARMAMENT IS
again DISCUSSED
SENATOR LODGE NOT IN FAVOR
OF LIMITATION UNLESS 1T
is GENERAL.

Washington. Replying to Demo
cratic questioning, Senator Lodge,
Republican leader, outlined to the
Senate some of the principles which
will guide him as one of the Ameri-
can representatives in the coming con-
ference of the world powers.
He favors a general limitation of
armament, but he favors no limita-
ton unless it is general.
He regards armament reduction as
primarily necessary to reliave the
worlds economic distress and he
hopes that it will also promote univer
sal peace.
He considers that the United States
has already cut it's army and navy
budgets to the danger line and thinks
it would be a grave mistake to make
further curtailment unless there is an
international agreement for reduction
of armament.
The debate began when Senator
Lodge, opposing passage CT the $780,
! 900, 900 good roads bill on the ground

Lodge. 1--WE have cut the army be-

We have cut the navy down to such

Chickens ate fireworks in West
Avon, Conn, and died spontaneously.
Misguided Patriotism or undiscriminat-

of young Marcellus Bennison's half

EaclIitated MeItinn Of Snow.

Automobile highways which cross
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Cali
f0rnia are usually closed to traffic
as late as June on account of the slow
melting of the deep snow which covers
the higher levels. In order to ac-
celerate the melting of the snow and
thus TO expedite the opening of the
highways, the experiment was made
this spring Of scattering black soil
and ashes on snow which covered the
highways. AS a result of the increased
absorption of solar heat the snow
melted rapidly, and the roads were
opened several weeks earlier than
would otherwise have obtained.

And They Did.

Bob and Jimmy, brothers, still in
knickerbockers, have said their pray
ers every night since they began to
talk. They play hard all day and are
fired at night. At bed time they start
upstairs, undressing on the way. and
at the same time saying their prayers.
When they reach the bed there is
nothing to do but fall asleep. The
other night on the way upstairs Bob
said TO Jimmy: Guess we had better
drop to our knees tonight; ] heard
'em say big storm was liable to
come" And they did.

 25-YEAR SENTENCE
Convicted of Murder In Sec ond Degree In Connection
 With Glover KilIinq

Eutaw September 24.-(Special.)- J. Charles Brenner, merchant, of Fork land. in the southern part of Greene county. who shot and killed John B. Glover, a well-known citizen of the same locality, on the afternoon of February of this year, was convict ed In the circuit court yesterday of murder in the second degree and given a sentence of 25 years in the penitentiary.

 The case of the state against Bren- ner has aroused a great deal of in terest in Eutaw during the last few days.

ALL COTTON NOW OPEN

Huntsville, September 24.-(Spe- al.)-Nearly all of the Madison county cotton crop has already opened and at an exceptionally early date, according to the conclusion reached by F. W. Gist. agricultural statistician for Alabama, after mak- ing trip of inspection into several sections of the county. MT. Gist came here to inspect farm conditions, Madison now being the leading cot ton county of the state. He declared that the Madison county farmers do not know how well off they are com pared with the farmers in some other counties. He said the early opening of cotton was due to dry weather and the unusually high temperature that had steadily prevailed. This sit uation has been harmful in small way. he said. but has proved great benefit also by halting the boil wee vii and saving a great deal of cot ton. Corn, hay, sorghum, soy beans and peas are crops that have done unusually well in this region. ac- cording to MT. Gist.

Out-of To1Un Shoe Prices
 Far Aboue Local Stores
Interesting Comparisons Made Yesterday Between Prices of Hotel Visitor and Those Found in the
 Shops of Birmingham

It may that "a prophet is without honor in his own country" but cer- tainly a. shoe man is not without shoes in his own town.j
 There was another Aout- off, town merchant in Birmingham yesterday. His line was shoes. He is well known shoe man from distant city. There are Birmingham women who patronize tim. There used to be ronized him, but things have changed for this same shoe man. There are reasons for it. The first reason and the best perhaps is that the out-of- town shoe man, just as the out -oftown ready-to wear man whose prices were compared with Birmingham prices some time ago doesn't deliver the goods at the same price as Birmingham shoe merchants to whom people go whenever they want to develop some local enter prise, civic, social. or industrial; who rent stores, pays taxes, patrcnize other local stores and factories; wha is already to help whether Birming ham wants to present a great artist, grand opera, an ice cream supper, a chicken dinner or build a church.
 But when some Birmingham woman did patronize out of town merchants perhaps her civic consciousness was not awake, or may be then the mer- chants did not ''deliver the goods"
 What Is the comparison as to prices and quality of the out of town shoe merchant and our own stocks [? The out-of-town man had beauti- full supply of shoes, some sport mod els--with two straps, some low heels some medium, some high. He had shoes of patent leather, of suede. of calf skin and satin. So have Bir- mingham merchants. He had flat heels, high heelsA-opera heels-Cu- ban heels--and baby Louis. So have Birmingham merchants. He had gold cloth and silver cloth and bro cades-so have the local men, He had wool hose--and he had silk ones. some drop stitch with clocks-but all these things were found in Second and Third avenues-and in elevated shops,
 But how about prices? There was stunning pair of St. Patrick green satin evening shoes-the price? $1S.00.
