SEEK EXEMPTION.
On Income Derived from Sources With
out United States of No-Resident.

Manila, P. l., Dec 2S Correspond
ence of the Associated Press The
board of directors Of the American
Chamber of Commerce of the Philip.
pine Islands has adopted a resolution
which is TO be forwarded to the United
States Congress. protesting against the
application Of the federal income tax
law to Americans residing abroad and
paying taxes in the Philippines or for.
eign countries. The resolution recon
mends to Congress that the revenue
act of 1918 be so amended as to eH.
empt from taxation the income derived
from sources without the United
States Of nonresident citizens.
The resolution says: Under former
acts of Congress income taxes were
uniformly imposed upon all residents
Of the Philippine Islands. Americans,
Filipinos and aliens; and in accordance
with American principles and tradi-
tions, such taxes accrued. not to the
United States, but to the insular gov
ernment.
Under the revenue act of 1918 in
come taxes for the revenues OF the
United States are imposed upon Ameri
ican citizens residing in the Philip
pines, but not on Filipinos and Others
there residing, although all alike share
the protection of the United States
and the Filipinos owe the same ale
glance and enjoy the same rights as
American citizens Other nations, as,
for example, Great Britain. do not tax
the local income of their citizens or
subjects residing abroad
Americans in the Philippines pay
the same taxes to- the local govern
ment as their neighbors and are then
required TO pay to the United States
additional taxes from which their
neighbors are exempt, To the extent
Of such additional taxes Americans are
at a disadvantage in competition with
others for business
This handicap operates not only
upon the interests Of American citizens
in the Philippines, but also 10 the det
riment Of American shipping and com
merce, whose maintenance and devel
opment depend in great part upon the
outlet and representation afforded by
Americans established overseas In the
keen competition for the worlds trade
our merchants and carriers cannot af
ford to rely upon alien representatives
or to enjoy representation bv our own
citizens only at a cost higher than
that borne by competitors But the
natural tendency Of the present policy
Of taxation is to eliminate Americans
established in business abroad or II
induce their expatriation

SEPTEMBER ELECTIONS
Was Proposal Of Amendment consid-
cred Last Evening.

That Vermont in years past has been
closely watched by people all over the
country to see how the state went in
the September election and that from
such elections the state gained great
prominence in the nation and the peo-
pie of the state took much greater in
terest in national affairs than they do
to-day, was the contention put forth
by Mr., Button of Middlebury and 9th
er speakers appearing before the joint
committee of the judiciary and House
and Senate at the public hearing on
the constitutional amendments in Rep
resentatives' hall last evening.
In supporting the amendment to go
back to the September elections Mr..
Button offered to prove, after looking
up the figures. that when the Septem
ber elections were in force Vermont had
acted as a true barometer on all oc-
casions for the national vote which fol-
lowed
buuHt Duilbii Sdlu IL was uOb sldle
issues so much as national issues which
influenced the vote in Vermont, that
the people of Vermont used TO be inter
tested in national affairs to greater
extent than the people of any other
state and that Vermont has the record
of sending to Congress bigger men as
senators and representatives than even
the greater state of New York All this
he attributed to September elections.
The influence of Vermont in national
politics was testified TO by other speak
ers One of the reasons urged for the
return to September elections was that
the educational campaign conducted in
the state previous to these elections,
when the national committees sent
prominent speakers here, was well
worth to the people the extra expense.
Mr. Chase of Bennington read let
ter from Judge o. NJ. Barber of the
United States court of appeals, a for
mer Nermonter, in which he urged the
return 10 the September elections and
also warned against the removal of the

Kansas City, Jan. 2s,-"Strangler'
Lewis had further evidence to-day o.
the unpopularity of his deadlock. The
police escorted him from the ring here
last night because of the threatening
attitude of the crowd after he threw
Gustav Sulzo.
The crowd early showed its disap.
proval of the deadlock. Lewis applied
it numerous times before the first fall
but Sulzo proved clever in squirming
out of it. The champion then turned
his attention to the other varieties OF
holds, finally pinning Sulzo's shoulders
down with the double wristlock The
crowds attitude then changed, cheers
drowning out the Kisses.
When the men returned to the ring
for the second fall, Lewis started at
a fast pace directing all his efforts to-
ward securing deadlock, to the accom-
paniment of uncomplimentary invec-
tivcs from the audience. Sulzo was
thrown heavily.
When Lewis arose after being de-
clared the winner, the referee and a
physician worked several minutes over
the PROSTATE Sulzo. Lewis remained in
the ring while police were keeping back
the threatening crowd. Sulzo was able
to walk to his dressing room.

Paris, Jan, 2S.--Progress toward a
solution of the problem of German
reparations was reported to-day by a
committee of the supreme council
The basis of the discussion was a
proposal of VI. Jaspar. Belgian foreign
minister, that Germany be compelled
to make annual reparation payments
of six billion gold marks as maxi
mum and three billion marks as a
minimum. His plan would not fix the
number of annual payments, but would
leave this to be determined at some
later time.
The plan was presented to Premier
Lloyd George after the committee had
concluded its first session. The French
official viewpoint was that if the Brit
ish premier agreed to these terms in
principle, the committee at its meeting
this afternoon would be able to put
the finishing touches upon the plan
and then present it to the supreme
council. Premiers Lloyd George and
