Mrs. Harriet T. Upton to Prepare
List for Mr.. Harding's Approval
Based Upon Fitness Only.
aa1sfeliffcs ~ CHOICE

At least five women will be selected
to serve as delegates to the national
unemployment conference to be held
in this city shortly. when means of
Improving the industrial situation in
the United States. which is now CIV
ing the administration considerable
concern. will be determined upon.
That women would have represen-
tation was made known at the White
House today following a conference
between President Harding and Mrs.
Harriet Taylor Upton of Ohio. chair
man of the womens executive COM
mittee of the republican, national COM
mittee. The chief executive told Mrs.
Upton of his desire to have the, serv-
ices of women in the federal govern
ment'S aim to relieve the unemploy-
ment situation, and delegated her to
he may choose. He also suggested
that she, in the meantime. confer
with Secretary Hoover of the Com
merce Department.. who is making
the arrangements for this gathering,
and to offer any suggestions she may
manent program to be followed at
the sessions.
Women Can Assist.
Mrs. Upton said after leaving the
President that she was pleased that
the President is going to recognize
women to this extent.
1.-THE day of woman serving merely
as an auxiliary has passed" Mrs.
Upton said, land there is no question
of the valuable service that women,
selected because of their peculiar fit
ness and qualifications, can perform
problem"
Mrs. Upton said she probably would
present at least ten names to the
President and would urge him to ap-
point that number, but she doubted
il more than five or six would be Sc
lected. 1t Is her intention to shun
the selection of women simply be-
cause of their political or class prom
inence. She will be guided by the
Individual ability Of the women she
will name. She will pick democrats
as well as republicans, and will at
tempt to have every section of the
country represented. Her aim will be
to get the services of practical
women.
Plans Nearly Completed.
Secretary Hoover brought the mat
ter of the conference up for discussion
at the cabinet session today. but he
was not prepared to present the COM
plete tentative plans and program for
the conference. He said he would
have 1t ready for next meeting. He
was favorably inclined to the idea Of
appointing women to the conference
and he said he thought at least five
would be appointed.

Belief Prevails Here That Mr.. Root

President Harding has made 1t
known that the main American dele

more than four members. and that

In reply to an appeal from Repre-
sentative Jeffers, democrat, Alabama.
that former service man be named
as one of the American commission
tember ?, wrote Mr.. Jeffers that "it
does not seem likely that IT will be
practical to bring an ex-service man
OF temporary experience into the con-
ference, because of the limited num-
ber in the delegation. and the further
TACT that the larger military and
naval information necessary to justi-
fy prudent action will necessarily
come from actual service men who
devote all their time to naval and
military problems"
Small Delegation.
The President also told Mr.. Jefrers
he was writing the letter ION the as
sumption that the main delegation
will be a very small one. probably
not exceeding four in membership"
After commenting on the selection
Of Secretary Hughes as head of the
delegation and Senator Lodge as one
of its members. Mr.. Harding said:
Because the matter is wholly pa.-i-
otic and national in scope. should he
very dissatisfied il I could not have
outstanding representation of the
present minority in Congress-"
MI. Root Mentioned.
No mention. however, was made as
to who, in addition to Secretary
Hughes and Senator Lodge, probably
would be chosen as members OF the
delegation. but the belief prevailed
in Washington today that Elihu Root
former Secretary Of State. would be
given place. One report was that
Mr.. Root actually was offered q place
at his conference yesterday with the
President and Secretary Hughes. but
this WAS without of1eiai eonnRna-

HITCHCOCK SCORES
TAX SUGGESTIONS
Opposes Repeal of Excess
Profits Levy and Restrict
ing Surtaxes.

Proposals for repeal of the excess
profits tax and reduction of the in
come surtaxes were attacked today
by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska. in
the first statement on taxes to come
from the democratic side of the SEN
ate.
The proposal to do away with the
excess profits tax and with all sur
taxes over Is per cent on individual
incomes" said Senator Hitchcock, 'fs,
in my opinion, very Objectionable. To
make the proposed repeal of the ex-
cess profits tax retroactive to last
January adds to the mistake.
Opposes Surtax Proposal.
"The surtax is the extra tax paid
by individuals with large incomes.
Secretary Mellon proposes to stop in
creasing the rate as soon as it reaches
% per cent. That Is to say, the man
having $4,000 income year would
pay rs per cent on everything above
that amount regardless of whether
the excess was $1,000 or ,000, 900.
think the graduation should continue
upward until the tax reaches 81 per
cent. Such vast sums as 100000 or
over cannot be used as income; they
are merely capital increases. AS such
they add enormously each year to the
wealth of a few. They are contrary
to the public interests and ought to
be considered contrary to public
policy. They can be limited and, re-
stricted by taxation"
May BE Ready When Recess Ends.
Having heard Secretary Melons
recommendations for further tax re-
visions. the Senate finance committee
was ready today to consider actual
changes in the House bill as well as
broad policies of taxation. Chairman
Penrose hoped to have the bill COM
SO that it might be ready for the
Senate when Congress reconvenes
late. this month.
There was very free discussion
yesterday with Secretary Mellon re-
.gardihg the changes in the House
measure suggested by him and 1t may
be that the committee will seek
further information from him on
some of the points. The committee
also expects to take up Senator
Smpot's proposal for a sales tax, and
the>present plan is to add seme new
administrative features. including
Commission, which was left out Of
