WARNS CONGRESS
ON TAX REVISION
Republican Official Tells Con-
gressmen They Must Not
Dodge Tax Issue.

WASHINGTON, Aug. congress
is warned in a statement issued Sun
day by Rep. Frear of Wisconsin, a
republican member of the ways and
means committee, that If it lodges
responsibility in tax revision or
seeks 10 deceive itself or the people
with false promises. "the chickens
will come home TO roost."
Those who blindly demand i'm
possible things are not helping the
situation" said Mr.. Frear, land
those who demand it believe that it
will result in the passage Of a ny
brid. iH-considered bill to raise four
billion dollars in annual taxes in rem
dering no public service"
Discusses Plans.
The Wisconsin representative dis
cussed the various suggestions made
by Sec'y Mellon for tax revision and
concluded that the announcement he
was not offering to solve the prob
lem but trying to show how far the
secretary of the treasury in his sew
eral public announcements has failed
in the effort TO simplify the situa-
ton"
Discussing the proposed repeal Of
the excess profits tax and the sub
stitution of an increase of five per-
cent in the corporation income tax,
Mr.. Frear said personally he was
ready Ito substitute any tax, if bet
ter, over the excess profits tax which
now exempts eight percent profits
before il attaches to anything, but
before we lose known certain
sources of revenue or before we sub
stitute more burdensome taxes il is
best 10 know what we are about to
do"
Mr.. Frear added that if the ex-
cess profits tax were repeated and
the five percent increase in corpor-
ate fat tax was imposed. it was esti-
mated that it would catch two
thirds of the small newspapers Of
the country that today escape the
excess profits taxes and will bring a
storm Of a real substantial protest
from small newspaper interests af-
fected."
Taking up the whole general sub
ject Of federal finances, Mr. Frear
pointed out that there had been a
shrinkage of about S7OO.OOO.OOO in
the estimated federal income for this
year since former Sec'y Houston Of
the treasury issued his annual report
last November.
Mr.. Houston then figured income
at S4,9l9,750,00O. while Sec'y Mellon
in his statement last week estimated
it at S4,217,643,OOO.

District Attorney Nathan A. Tufts
from office.
The supreme court soon will rem

Allen charges Tufts with NAL
feasance in office in connection with
the Eden revels" at Mishawun
Manor In 1917. On this occasion
many movie men were guests at a
dinner at the manor and girls were
employed to entertain them.
1t is charged that subsequent 20
the dinner efforts were made To OBJ
tain hush money from the movie
men. 1t was as a result of his in
vestigation Of this affair that Allen
started proceedings against Tufts.
WOman's Testimony.
In pressing his case Allen tried TO
show that Tufts laid a divorce trap
for Capt Charles Ephriam StearEs,
L. S. A. in which a pretty girl vamp
was the bait. But the former Mrs.
Stearns, now Mrs. Helen Weaver
Sewall, absolutely and completely
exonerates Tufts.
Allen obtained testimony that Mrs.
Stearns in 1918 asked Tufts to take
her divorce case.
It vas charged that Tufts told
Mrs. Stearns she had no case, but
that a case could be made'--that
he could send a pretty woman 70
trap Stearns.
The girl vamp, according to the
testimony, was Miss Pennington"
with whom Capt. Stearns later was
caught in a raid in Cambridge IN
June, 1918.
The former Mrs. Stearns denied
all OF this evidence.
She declared Tufts refused 20 take
! the case because of his official posi-
ton. She also denied Tufts sent her
! to another attorney.
Further, she said. Miss Penning,

McKeown, a member Of the Irish

CONGRESS IS GIVEN
COAL MINING COSTS

Giving cost Information obtained at
the direction of the President. the
Federal Trade Comms sion today SUBJ
mitted to Congress n report on the
cost of producing hituminous coal in
Iowa. Kansas, Missouri. Arkansas,
Oklahoma Texas, Colorado. New
Mexico, Montana, Wyoming. Utah,
Washington and North Dakota. The
data obtained Is for the year 1918
and covers the operations of 1914 OPP
orators who mined about S1,000.000
net tons from 62S mines
The report shows that the labor
costs in 1918 in the districts covered
by the report are from 80 to So per
cent higher. and the total (. o. b. mine
costs in 1918 were from AZ to 4s per
cent higher than those in 1916. The
sales realizations in 1918 were from
46 to SO per cent higher than those
in 1916.
.Of the amount paid for coal by the
purchaser. based on each. dollar of
sales realization during 1916-191S,"
says the report, 1.-THE item of most
general interest is the proportion
which labor received. That part Of
the amount paid by the purchaser
which went to labor varied consid-
erably from district to district and
in most districts from period to Pc
Rod. 1t was highest. IS cents out of
each dollar, in both Oklahoma dis
tricts during September, 1917, and in
the eastern district OF Oklahoma in
November, 1917, and lowest, So cents
out OF each dollar, in Montana during
the period January-March, 1917"
The commission points out that
caution should be used in drawing
deductions for the industry as a
whole based on the 1918 costs, sales
realizations, and margins, shown for
the various districts in the thirteen
trans Mississippi States in the re-
port. Conditions in the different
fields in the country varied widely in

TREASURY FACES DRAIN

The Treasury will face a heavy
drain upon it's RESOURCES IL Congress
enacts the Winslow bill, allowing
partial payments to the railroads I'M

emergency can only be met by large
borrowing by the Treasury in the
money market, officials said today.
The Treasury payments under the

gate about $500. 100000 according TO
the estimates of Treasury officers.
The placing of still larger issues
OF Treasury certificates was believed
probable, If the bill becomes a law.

Plans TO put export financing upon

established.
Officials are informed that reserve

has been slightly reduced In some
lines OF activity recently, although
idleness still is greater than in other
corresponding periods,
A more active demand upon manu-
facturers for goods is noted in sew
eral of the reserve bank districts.
This is taken to mean that re-stock-

Electric Fan Is Now
Used to Help Spread
Heat From Furnace

Cross off the coal question from your list of worries,
Mr. Househoderhat is if you live an electrical home,
and the possessor of cleo
rica fan. The handy little friend of which is
monty regarded most useful only in the has big
possibilities for winter service.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1921-02-13

A way has been found by which the
electric fan will produce more in
tensive beating OF any home where
IL is installed; meaning by this that
IL will create more heat for every
shoyelful OF coal. and therefore
bring about a DEFINITE saving OF fuel,
one on which the householder can
surely rely In making up his winters
budget.
The discovery OF this is the result
of extensive tests conducted with the
aid OF an electric fan and a radia-
tor by the General Electric Company.
In these tests. ian and radiator were
used In conjunction with a surpris-
ing effect
WILL RAISE TEMPERATURE.
II was proved clearly that this
will raise tho tempera-
ture OF the room, without putting
any more draft on the furnace, to a
much higher point than when the
radiator IN deepened on alone.
During the tests. the radiator was
first turned on and allowed to func-
ton alone. After $50 minutes. the
temperature OF the room had ceased
to rise. At the end OF 10 minutes.
a nine-inch electric fan was put into
operation. This caused the heat
units TO De Increased by about 24,OOO
an hour. In the center OF the room
the temperature rose &c degrees in
ten minutes when the electric fan
began TO work.
IL was noted that at the end OF $50
minutes, the temperature had risen
only % degrees without the aid OF
the fan. When the fan was turned
on, In conjunction with the radiator.
the temperature rose 62 degrees In
the same length of time.
STIMULATES CONSTRUCTION.
without the fan, $4,000 heat units
were radiated in one hour; with the
fan. 1900 heat units were radiated
in four minutes.
The principle back OF this use of
the electric fan is perfectly simple.
The fan is placed facing the radiator.
and foot or two from it. When IL
il set in motion, IL fans the heated
air from the radiator upwards and
then out into the room, where this
heated air displaces the colder air.
which is forced toward the radiator to
be heated in turn.
In a similar manner. the fan can be
used in front OF registers, when the
house is heated by hot air, and can
also be used to stimulate combustion
at the ash pit of a furnace, or in
front of a coal stove.
