WILSON IN MESSAGE
URGES TAX REVISION
THE sTRicTEsT ECONOMY IN
GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS
ADVISED By PRESIDENT.
Immediate Passage Of Budget Bill,
Adequate Provision for Disabled
Soldiers and independence of
the Philippines Advocated.

Washington.-Presid Wilson, in
his message Of December Z, called on
congress to enact a program of legs-
latiOn which, he said, would put the
United States in the forefront of
movement to make the spiritual power
of democracy prevail throughout the
world.
In his final regular message to con-
gresS. which was sent to the two
houses by messenger, President Will
son said that there are two ways in
which the United States can lead in
establishing the doctrine of fright
makes right" in the world. These
ways, he said, are:
First. by offering the example
power Of democracy to make and en-
force laws which are unquestionaby
just and which are equal in their adj
ministratiOn.
Second, by standing for right and
justice as toward individual nations"
The president declared that 1.-THE
display of an immediate disposition on
the part Of the congress to remedy
any injustices or evils that may have
shown themselves in our own national
life will afford the most effectual off
set to the forces of chaos and tyranny
which are playing so disastrous a part
in the fortunes of free peoples in more
than one part of the world"
President Wilson did not mention
the peace treaty, nor the league of
nations in his message, but submitted
the following program to carry out
the aims he outlined:
i. Immediate passage of the budget
bill
.. Strictest economy in government
appropriations.
3. Immediate revision of tax laws.
4. Adequate provision for disabled
soldiers and sailors.
>. A government loan to Armenia.
6. Granting of independence to the
Philippines.
In addition. the president repeated
recommendations he made in previous
messages urging encouragement for
the manufacture of dyestuffs and re-
lated chemicals; laws controlling cold
storage and requiring federal licenses
for all corporations engaged in inter
state commerce as means of reduc-
ing the cost of living.
The president told congress that the
best way to aid struggling demOcra-
cies in other parts of the world is to
prove that great democracy can keep
house as successfully as any other
government.
Passage of the budget bill is the
first step in this direction, he said
and he urged it be one of the frs,
acts of the present session.
He said the governments fiscal pol
icy must be determined with referenN
to the maturity of $7,5OO.OOO,OOO worth
of securities within two and hall
years. Rigid economy and sound ad
mnistration will produce surplus
debt, he said.
SimplificatiOn of tile income ant
profits taxes, has become an imme
date necessity" the president de
cIared.
The reading of the presidents mes
sage required twenty-three minutes il

Democratic side arose and applaudet
and the galleries joined in the demon

Whether Maoalynne Obenchain, now

on the advice Of her former husband,

The controversy began when County
Commissioners Carlin Shank, Harry

passed a resolution prior to the meeting
of the county school board, eliminating
Pike Township as a township and making
it a part of Wayne Township. In this
way the commissioners sought to deprive
Swails of one vote as the commissioners
contended that their arbitrary action un-
seated the duly elected trustee Of Pike
Township. Township Trustee Purdy Of
Pike refused to vacate his seat and the
result was that the Swails and Devericks
factions clashed and two meetings were
held at one time by the board. Auditor

Der of names only to laugh at the de-
tectives and deny her stories, the while
she puffed away on cigarettes. She would
declare she had been kidding them dur
