with a net income OF $1,000 and less
IS entitled to an exemption OF s2.5O0.
Under the revenue act OF 1919 this
exemption was limited to $4,000.

Afdrich Plan
INDICATIONS FAVOR
PROPER CONSIDERATION

Marion, Ohio, Jan. 4. (By Raymond
Clapper) A stormy partisan fight
early in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
over the proposed establishment of a
centralized bank of the United States
to replace the present Federal Re-
serve Bank was indicated here to-
day when it became known that the
republican leaders are laying plans to
raise the issue.
Some leaders here already have
sounded the president-elect and claim
that the creation of a centralized
bank is one of the activities of the
n ext administration If Harding con-
sent to make the fight. Indications
are that favorable consideration will
be given the matter although Hard
ing is following his usual custom
and is saying nothing until he has
studied the reaction OF public sem
timent regarding the suggestion.
1t is considered significant, how
ever, that Senator Curtis. the republi-
can senatorial whip. should make the
announcement following a conference
with Harding of his intention to Of
fer an amendment to the Federal Re-
| serve act. This, he said, would be
designed to wipe out the twelve eX-
| listing banks and substitute one cen
| tralized bank with branches widely
| separated geographically.
This news is expected to reopen
J the bitter fight waged between the
/ republicans and democrats over the
Aldrich plan some years ago when
essentially the same scheme was pro-
posed by the republicans.

TIM An agent representing himself
to be in the employ of international
products essential to the manufac-
turing Of war. materials is in Wash
ington working against the Borah
resolution for a conference Of the
great powers and disarmament. 1t
was alleged by supporters of the
measure the agent is stated to have
succeeded in arousing certain politi-
cal jealOusies which threaten to delay
if not to defeat, the resolution. The
plan is to make public information
of work Of the alleged secret agents
and other uhases Of the disarma-
ment question.
s. According to Borah and other sup
porters of the disarmament plan they
are receiving thousands Of letters
calling for the reduction of the anna
ment for two reasons. First, economy
and reduction of taxes, and second
prevention Of war. The foreign rela'
tion committee will meet "Wednesday
to hear Senator Walsh of Montana
on his resolution requesting the pre-.
sident to accept the invitation of the
League Of Nations that an American
be designated to sit unofficially or

The committee is unlikely to re-
