London.--After two conferences In
Dublin with Eamonn de Valera, the
Sim Fein delegates in the Irish con
ference have returned to London. II
had been intended. according to state
ments at the Sim. Fein publicity de.
partment here, that only Arthur Crit

return at present and that the others
wouldfollowin day or-two. = - /.
1t was expected the reply Of the
I Dali Eireann cabinet to the latest Brit
ish proposals would be flatly yes OF
no." and that In either event, Prime
Minister Lloyd George, upon Mr.. Grit
fith's return, would decide the govern
ment's future action. But the news
that all the delegates would soon be on
their way here was taken to indicate
there would be further discussion OF
details. giving rise to hope that a final
breach In the negotiations might be
averted.
Mr.. Lloyd George, although In the

1t was understood that the Sim Fein
delegates were bringing the Dali cabi

should be able to meet any additional
points they might raise he would sub
init the new plan to Sir James Craig

CONVENTION BLAzED WAY

Food and Feed SuppIy--President
Walker Writes a Letter.

Memphis.-The Cotton States Mer-
chants association is squarely behind
the proposed campaign to prevent an
increase in cotton acreage. This splen.
did organization joins the bankers and
cotton growers OF the south In an ef-
fort to make the convention to be held
in Memphis December IL and 10, even
more successful than was the conven.
tion held in Memphis last year for the
purpose Of bringing about reduction,
in cotton acreage. "
MA. Walker OF Covington, presi
dent of the Cotton States Merchants
association, has sent out to members
an urgent. request for them to be pres
ent. In this letter the necessity for
sane and safe farming methods is EN-.
phasized. His letter, in part, is as fol-
lows. ss., M h
"A great convention was held in De-
cember, 1920, and adopted a platform
touching the acreage to be planted In
cotton in 1921 and the method Of fl.
nancing the crop, which was accepted
as being sound not only for the present
but for all future. Then the financial
boat was rocking and the outlook was
gloomy. This convention blazed the
way, lighted the gloomy path and the
people followed the leadership.
you know quite we'll the advanta
ges to the entire south, to the entire
country, Of the successful cotton acre
age reduction campaign of last year
Cotton is now at good price ard d.
versification has provided a satisfac

I'VE merely urge you, as q member
Of the Cotton States Merchants asso
citation, to use your influence for q
continued farming program calculated
to assure a better future and urge your
friends and customers to attend the
convention in Memphis on December
1918, 1921. 80 nss tsa
But permit us to remind you thai
psychological conditions greatly ia
vored the work during the last cam.
paign. Now it is quite different. II
seems to us that the public mind Is
more inclined to drift back to the old
method of overproduction of cotton
and misrepresentation, Of food and feed.
therefore it will take line upon line
and precept upon precept to hold them
to the point gained in the acreage
planted and cultivated in 1921.
'The result of the cotton acreage
reduction program last year is deserv
ling of the commentator of every
southern man and evidence Of this as
sociation's support of their splendid
effort for continuation of the pro

ence Of you and your neighbors at. the

Notwithstanding the fact
that many statements have been given
out concerning the status Of women
voters as to jury service and payment
OF poll taxes there still seems to be
widespread misunderstanding of the
matter. Women can not be required
to do jury service under the existing
laws. In fact, they can not qualify as
jurors until che statute is changed,
for the reason that the statute speci-
fies male citizens as eligible 70

TELLS BENEFITS OF TAX
REVISION BY CONGRESS
(Continued from page -

"The revenue to be derived from
such q source in normal industrial
times is so variable thai 1t would
be extremely difficult to use it as a
base on which to estimate revenue
receipts; It has rapidly diminished
from year to year.
at is generally agreed that the
excess profits tax has been respon-
sible for the period of intense specu-
lation which followed the war. 1t
has fostered the widest sort of ex-
travagance in the industrial and
commercial world and some of the
foremost economists of the country
have publicly stated that this tax
has done more towards the increased
cost of living than any form of tax
now on our statute books.
at is the hope and expectation or
the committee thai the repeal of the
excess profits tax will very soon re-
feet itself in a revival of business
thrnugho vt the country; and the
money mat would otherwise have
been paid to the government In the
form OF taxes will be turned back
into industrial channels for the ex-
tension of plants and for new en-
terprises which will afford work for
the $500, 900 reported by the Secre-
tary of Labor to be now out of work.
THE repeal also of the high sur
tax brackets is confidently expected
to promptly result in an adequate
flow of capital into industrial chan
nels where it is so much needed dur
ing this critical postwar period OF
reimbursement and reconstruction.
ITO make up some of the loss or
revenue from the repeal of THESE
taxes we have increased the cor
poration tax to a fiat rate of 12h
per cent. retaining the $4,000 eX-
emption as a protection to the small
corporations and have made other
changes which we believe Will be
attended with good results.
1.-THE changes which this bill Will
effect In the present law are very
much to the advantage of the great
masses of people upon whom the
present law bears heavily. Chiel
among these changes are the In
creased exemption given to married
men or heads of families on income
up to and including $4,000. This
exemption has been increased from
$4,000 to $4,000 and in addition a
further exemption of $500 for each
minor child or other dependent has
been granted. making this eXemp'
ton $500, instead of 5000 as in the
present law ,
"P~ersonally I would very mucl
liked to have seen a sales tax pro-
vision in this measure, for I am more
than ever convinced that such a taH
is the most logical and equitable tas
20 put into operation"
