ORGANIZED FARMERS
DEMAND CREDIT LAW
Farm Bureau Insist. Net Income
Be Recognized as Basis Of
American Taxation

st. Paul, Dec. 7.-Congress will be
asked by 100000 organized farmers
to pass legislation revising the present
credit laws Of the United States, so as
to guarantee adequate finance for agri-
culture on IL and "a months paper.
Together with this demand the Am
erican Farm Bureau federation and its
AZ state declarations will present de-
mand that net income be recognized
as the sole measure of ability to pay
taxes and that the bulk of all taxes be
levied on that basis.
This is the report brought back by
the Minnesota delegation which at
tended the national convention of the
American Farm Bureau federation in
Atlanta, Ga.
Another national farm bureau policy
defined by the convention is summar-
lied as follows in the report to the
state federation:
'The measure of ability to pay taxes
for the support of the national gov
ernment is net income, and the bulk
of the taxes should be levied and COL
lected on that basis.
"The tax should be progressive;
that is. the greater the income, the
higher the rate should be.
1--WE are opposed to the issuing of
al! tax free securities, and request that
congress submit constitutional
amendment to the several states to
cure this defect in our tax system.
I'VE disappTove the appeal of the
excess profits tax.
1--WE are opposed to the principle of
general sales tax, or any similar plan
such as a general manufacturers tax

form submitted by the Minnesota dele
cation and adopted.
The Minnesota platform demands

anteeing income upon fixed valuations

the platform says, "and ask the repeal
OF section 15-A, Eseh- -Cummins act,
which contains this feature.
"Since the Adamson law produces
conditions in the conduct of the rail-
roads which operate against the in
terest of the public we ask it's repeal
or modification as speedily as pos

GENERAL DISCUSSION
OF new QUESTIONS.
Bv Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 21.-
Completion of the reading today of re-
ports by international officers at the
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America placed many recon-
mendations before the delegates for
consideration. Formal discussion, how
ever, was not expected until late in
the day, and possible not until tomor-
row for both Philip Murray, vice
president, and William Green, secre-
tary-treasurer, had long reports to
present today.
The reports served to bring the
wage question to the front in impor-
lance, but several other questions al
fecting the mine industry were
brought forward by the reports, includ-
ing the naturalization of the mines,
and the work of the union toward or
ganizing non-union fields.
Work also was begun today by the
resolutions committee, to which more
than 500 resolutions adopted by local
unions throughout the country had
been presented for conventions con
sideration. Practically every ques
ton affecting the miners was present
ed in the resolutions. and the com
mittee's work was to determine what
of these would be approved for floor
consideration.

GEORGE NOTE
CENSURES REDS FOR
INDIAN PROPAGANDA
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept. 21-Great Britain's
sharp note to the Russian soviet gov
eminent relative to hostile activities
of Bolshevik agents in the near east
and in India todaf claimed precedence
in interest here over the Irish situa-
ton.
Mr.. Lloyd George will probably
have an informal talk over Irish af-
fairs today with members of his cabi-
net who are at Gairloch, Scotland, and
Ireland will be the subject of con-
ference there tomorrow, but the pro-
test sent to George Chitcherin, soviet
foreign minister by Earl Curzon secre-
tary for foreign affairs, made public
yesterday seemed to have many fea-
lures which appeared to foreshadow
important developments.
Soviet Russia was accused with hav-
ing carried on propa ganda in Persia
and Afghanistan with sending agents
into eastern Afghanistan for the pur-
pose of getting in touch with disorder
ly elements in India and with prevent
ing a settlement of pending disputes
between the Turkish Nationalist and
the allied powers.
Might Cut Off Trade.
The soviet government was asked
for assurances that these activities
would cease, and it was intimated that
the commercial agreement between
this country and Russia would be i'm
perilled by continued hostile machina-
tons by Bolshevik emissaries.
The impression exists that Prime
Minister Lloyd George intends to ap-
peal to the country in a general cleo
ton for a mandate in dealing with the
Irish question the problems arising
from unemployment, the reparations
situation and a number of other knot
ty matters which are pressing for set
Element The decision that neither
Mr.. Lloyd George nor Earl Curzon
would attend the Washington confer
ence on the limitation of ornaments
lent color to this belief.

CONGRESS ENDS RECES S; SENATE TO CONTINUE
WORK AT FULL SPEED; H 0USE IS TO MARK Time

1t tomorrow or Friday and then urge
early consideration of the measure
with a view to its final enactment be-
fore the end of October.
Expect Senate Strife.
A lively fight in the senate is prom
ised. The Democrats plan not only to
make a minority report on the bill,
but to attack it vigorously from the
floor. They count upon support in
part of their fight, at least from Sen
ator LaFollette, of Wisconsin and
some other members on the Republi-
can side.
According to Democratic leaders
their guns will be trained particularly
against provisions for repeal of the
excess profits tax and a reduction of
the maximum income surtax rate.
Senator LaFollette also has stated his
opposition to those particular features
of the measure as they now stand and
some Republican senators in the agri-
{: cultural bloc also are understood to
be against them.
Smoot Wants Substitute.
After the committee bill has been
perfected by the senate, Senator
Smoot of Utah, proposes to offer as a
substitute his tax simplification bill
with its proposal for a manufacturers
sales tax Considerable discussion OF
this measure is in prospect but Sen,
ator Penrose believes that two weeks
consideration by the senate will be
sufficient.

visions in their original form These
