DEFEATED
Sales Tax Bill Rejected By
Senate; May Appear
Again.
Bill Was Strongly Opposed
By Organized Labor.

Washington-The senate rejected
Senator Shoots sales tax bill. The
first proposal was / per cent sales
tax. This was defeated by vote of
43 to 25 The next day Senator Smoot
proposed that the tax be one-half of
! per cent, but this met the same fate
by 46 to 25 vote. Advocates of the
plan intimated that it will appear
again when the soldiers bonus is be-
ing considered.
The sales tax was subjected to a
heavy bombardment and it's friends
were clearly on the defensive. OPP
ponents quoted treasury experts, who
have figured that the tax will bring
to the treasury but $250,000,O00. The
opponents declared that business men
who favor the sales tax are under the
belief that it will result in the sub
stantial reduction of income and cor
poration taxes but it is clear that
nothing of that kind will happen.
Senator Smoot denied that he ever
stated that other taxes would be re-
duced if the sales tax is adopted.
The claim that the sales tax will
simplify tax collections" was shat
tered. Instead, the system would call
for vast army of government agents
who would be compelled to watch
every business man because of the in
tricacies of the plan.
One of these intricacies is shown in
the provision that manufacturers
must make returns on what has been
sold for use or consumption "How
can manufacturer who sells to a
broker or a manufacturer comply
with this section" asked the sales
tax opponents. what do you do with
an industry, for instance, like blast
furnace, where you have by-product
ovens that produce comparatively
finished products, such as toluol, coal
tar products, and Stag, as we'll as pig
iron ?"
Agents of the government would
have to watch these products to ascer-
tain if they were to be used in other
manufactures or as they came from
the blast furnace.
Numerous instances of this char
acter were cited and resulted in a
complete ENHANCEMENT of the sales
tax advocates who have insisted that
their plan will simplify tax collec-
tions."

U. 5. MARINE BAND
 COMES ON SUNDAY
Will Be Heard Under Auspices Of
 American Legion

The United States Marine Band, with it's leader, Captain William H. Santelmann, playing under the auspices of the Eddy Glover Post, Amer>..>n Le- zion Funeral Fund, on Sunday, Oct. Is, will regale New Britain music lovers with the same marvellous music that graces all of the state functions in the White House. The presidents own band will play an afternoon and eve- ming concert on the 16th.
 One of the most interesting features of the program is Leader w. H. Santel- mann's composition entitled ''Pocahon- tas.' '' It is an idyl whose theme was American. The courtship of Capt. John Smith Gas tradition assigns a name to the gallant warriorl is story which is linked with poetry and song as we'll as with the history of our con tinent. The inspiration of Santelmann' $ prologue is Randolph Kein's ''Apothe- osis of the Princess of the Forest - The mood of the composition is sim cere; almost reverential, quite in con- trast to the rollicking humor with
 which the story was clothed for the purposes of travesty such as delight ed our greatgrandsires. It was John Broughham who wrote the "Pocahontas' that set the world laughing by it's humor expressed in dexterous rhyming, and the satire evidently addressed to the serious and stately Hiawatha.
 Brougham's wit was fluent and un- quenchable. The spirit of fun was so strong within him that it dominated all he wrote. His marvellous facility of literary expression was overlooked in the tumult of laughter it inspired. For music he turned to the popular songs of his time, sSad the dignities of the Chieftain Powhatan had no re- straining influence. After the open ing number of Ehe operetta he made Powhatan say:
 That was we'll roared, my jolly Tus-
 caroras!
 Most loyal corps, your king en- cores. your chorus
 Later after the pipe had been passed around the council, Powhatan remarks l: "Now that we've smoked ourselves to proper dizziness, Let US proceed at once to public busi- ness.'
 There is a theory among conlmer- cial musical promoters that a success full parody is the death knell of a good song It is certainly not the death knell of great poem, for "I1ia- watha" is admired today while the hilarities of the Brougham travesty are only vague remembrance in the annals of the stage. Nor did Ehe metri- cal audacity dim the sentiment and TO- nance, that cling to Americas great idealization of the Indian princess. The Santelmann composition is based on the following dialogue: Smith: Through many dangers past To a tortured doom at last. Pocahontas:
 I do entreat thee!
 Say, live else thy Matoaka dies.
 Powhatan:
 A slave, my daughter! I give his life to thee! The success of the PocahontaS pro- logue has been extraordinary. Seats may be secured in exchange at Crowelis tomorrow.

we shall think that great things have been accomplished" >
 You replied that my letter seemed to bring message of hopelessness to those seeking universal disarma- ment and asked me to explain req sonable limitation. .
 By reasonable limitation I mean something practicable that there is a chance to accomplish, rather than an ideal that there would be no chance to realize. Universal disarmament would be beyond hope of realization; ;; even it's desirability at this time, might we'll be questioned. Thousands Of years of history recording the wars and controversies of mankind, suggest that human nature would re- qulre revolutionary reorganization to make universal disarmament pos slble. A consideration of the pres ent state of the world must, I think, enforce the conclusion that this is not hopeful time to undertake that kind of revolution.
 'On the other hand, a world with the horrors of recent experiences scared into it's mind, and staggering under the load of debt and arma- ments has generously justified our hope for a favorab ble attitude toward the practical effort, the sincere be- ginning that we are attempting. The attitude of the nations warrants con fdence that we will not fail but rather that substantia results will be accomplished, calculated to lessen the armament burden and to reduce the danger of armed conflict. I feel that in such an effort we are en- titled to the support of all people who would be glad as I can assure you I would-to see still more ac- complished if possible. Most sincerely yours,

 Similar sentiments have been ex- pressed generally by military and naval authorities who have con of the data that was before today's meeting.

A Fishhcok Catastrophe.

Jerry Miles and his father were 60
ing fishing. 1t was a Saturday in
early summer. and so early IN the
morning that the dawn was but a
faint pink flush in the east as the cX-
stairs. The birds were twittering
sleepily in the tree tops. and the grass
was cobwebby with dew. Stepping
gingerly into the dew-wet grass with
bare feet. Jerry gasoed. 1t was cold.
Just then his father came into The
oodshed, with fishing basket Sung
over his >.m. and called the child to
breakfast. HIS mother urged quanti-
ties of milk upon him. gave him Or
angcs to put in his pocket and warned
him against drinking water from the
river She asked him if he had his
lunch baske: packed and dozen
other things he had almost forgotten
IN the JOY of going of for d whole
days fishing with his father, just, as
he said. Ike another man.
Finally they were off. tramping
down the road in the bright summer
morning. The small boys hcart7~as
fluttering like bird uader his little
gingham shirt waist.
Then Je-ry's father gave a long.
deep whistle. Jerry knew he had for
gotten something. iii go back for

The wire cutter" said his father.
ASK mother for It. II is in the tool
chest.
AS he flew back for the wire cutter
Jerry wondered why his father want

But he was out of breath from rum
nlng when he came back the wire
cutter in his hand and his mothers
