HARDING SIGNS
TAX MEASURE
AT THE CAPITOL
Conference Report Il
Adopted 80 to 20, 6 Re-
publicans Against 1t.

President Harding signed the taS
bill yesterday after the Senate had
approved the conference report on
the measure by a vote Of SO to 20.
Six Republican Senators voted
against the bill in final roll call, while
one Democrat voted for it. The Re-
publicans voting in the negative were
Senators Borah, of Idaho; Ladd. of
North Dakota; La Toilette. of Wis
consin; Moses. of New Hampshire
Norbeck, of South Dakota, and Norris,
of Nebraska. Senator Broussard. of
Louisiana, was the only Democrat
supporting it.
Enactment of the measure into law
means the repeal of the transporta-
ton taxes and a considerable number
of other miscellaneous taxes on jan
uary /. 1922. While the repeal Of the
excess profits tax and the changes in
corporation income tax and individual
surtax rate also become effective on
that date taxpayers will not get the
benefit of the changes until they pay
their taxes in the early part of 1928
on income Of the calendar year 1922.
The individual taxpayer will get the
benefit Of increased exemptions ap-
plying to dependents and to heads of
families with moderate incomes on
their taxes paid in 1922 on 1921 in
come.
The chief features of the new
law are substitution of a 1219 per
cent fat corporation income tax for
the excess profits tax and the pres
ent normal tax of 10 per cent, reten-
tion of present normal taxes on in
dividual incomes. but a decrease in
surtax rates, the new maximum be-
ing so per cent instead Of 65, repeal
of a number of miscellaneous taxes
and imposition of some new manu-
facturers' tax.
The closing debate on the bill IN
the Senate. while showing much
dissatisfaction with the measure
both among Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, did not develop as much of a
fight against the approval of the
conference report as was expected.
This was due partly to a ruling by
the presiding officer that a motion
to send the bill back to conference
was not in order. Under this run
ing there was no opportunity for
vote on the question of instructing
the conferees to make specific
changes in the measure The only
vote i'm order was on the adoption
or rejection of the conference re-
part
The principal Democratic speak
ers against the bill were Senator's
Hitchcock. of Nebraska. and Jones,
Of New Mexico. Senator La Toilette,
of Wisconsin. decidedsn to speak
against the bill. although he voted
against it

NESTOS TO TRY OUT
NONPARTISAN LAWS

BISMARCK. N. Oak, Nov. 23.-
The first official act of Gov. r. A.
Nestos, elected in the recall ballot,
was to disclaim any immediate at
tempt to overthrow the program of
the Nonpartisan League.
In an inaugural address he declar-
ed the Nonpartisan laws would be
given trial, saying no changes
are in immediate prospect. Part of
the laws, he declared. could be used
EFFECTIVELY In carrying out the In
dependent plans. His chief promise
was to reduce taxes and restore
confidence of Investors In the State. ''
The final act Of the outgoing ad-
ministration was the resale of ST.
100000 worth of real estate bonds
by the industrial commission.
With Gov. Nestos, Sveinvejorn
johnson was inaugurated attorney

condemned and did nothing. They
promised, proclaimed but did not
appropriate. But fortunately there
are men on the District Committee
who have an earnest and sincere
desire to remedy a condition in the
building situation that has
become intolerable.
To be of some use to this COM
mittee, to serve the fathers and
mothers OF Washington whose chill
dren's education is being seriously
handicapped, and that it might be
known by the public at large just
what a serious situation the School
Board, officials and teachers are
facing, The Herald sent a repre-
sentative to the condemned schools
and to the overcrowded schools of
Washington to observe and describe
conditions. to tell the story so that
even the reader, who lacks imagina-
ton to vitalize dull figures and
statistics, may realize the present
danger.

With the kindliest cooperation
on the part of the school officials

HAWAIIAN PLANTERS PLANNING TO REDUCE
 THEIR SUGAR CROP

HONOLULU. T. H.. Dee. l. . With Congressional action on the Hawaiian Emergency Labor bill indefinitely de- layed. sugar planters throughout the Territory are planning to cut their cane acreage for 1922 by 20 to p per cent and to undertake more intensive cultivation with what labor is avail able.
 Officials of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association state that this action will mean probable reduc- tion in Hawaii's output of sugar for 1922 of approximately 100000 tons, which under revised tariff laws is eX- pectcd to have a considerable effect on the price of sugar throughout the country.
 Hawaii is at present suffering the most acute labor shortage of its his tory practically all plantations in the Territory being short 20 to 9 per cent of the labor needed to plant. cultivate and harvest the cane crop. The cause of this shortage is ascribed partially to dcsertion of plantation life by la borers. who seek to better themselves in the towns and cities, and partially in an attempt on the part of the Jap anese leaders to force the holders of sugar lands to abandon them, in which case Japanese laborers and farmers could step in and obtain the foothold which they are thought by some to be seeking in Hawaii. Relief through the importation of labor has been asked of Congress.
