Brig. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, of

Harding yesterday to head a COM
mission Of eleven to investigate the
whole problem of soldier relief with
a view to formulating a definite
Policy for dealing with the needs of
former service men.
Personnel Announced.
Another member of the commits
sion will be Col. Milton J. Foreman.
of Chicago. The other members of
the commission are:
Franklin w. Galbraith, jr.. ma
tional commander of the American
Legion.
Thomas w. Miller. of Delaware,
alien property custodian, who was
one of the legion founders.
Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant
overseas as a lieutenant colonel. and
also a legion organizer.

Before making the announcement

ber.
First Meeting April S.
The first meeting of the commits
sion will be held on April 5. The
appointment of the commission is
a result of the Presidents confer
ence with Gen. Dawes and others
upon whom he called for advice as
to the proper method of dealing
with the question OF soldier relief.
The commission will investigate
specifically the administration Of
the War Risk Insurance Bureau and
the Vocational raining Board, and
will inquire generally into the Ia
Cilities that may be required during
the next few years for the care
and treatment of disabled veter-
ans. 1t probably will give attention
to the suggestion that the vari-
Gus agencies of the government
having to do with soldiers relief
be consolidated. 1t undoubtedly
will inquire carefully into the
charges of DemoSratic statesmen
that the appropriation allowed by
the Republican Congress during the
last session for hospital facilities
was wholly inadequate.
The commission will hardly have
time 70 cover the ground outlined
for the Investigation and make It's
reeoaiimendations before President
Harding lays his program before
the next Congress. ~ recommen-
dationx may be the sGniect OF a
later message h. the President to
CONGRESS- after the needs OF the
service rnen are. fully decided.

CONGRESS SEES
HARD QUESTION
IN TAX REVISION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

point of view, 1t is practically GER
tain 1t will be done.
As to the income tax on smaller
incomes-incomes of from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year-there is a marked
difference of opinion among the
leaders. Some concedc that the
present income taxes, even Oh COM
paratively small incomes. are intol-
cradle and believe that they should
be drastically reduced. On the other
hand, some very important leaders
believe that the government is so
much in need of money that it will
not be possible to make any change
in the present taxes on incomes of
from 81. 900 to $4,000. The net i'm
preston is that on these smaller in
comes there is little likelihood of
reduction.
What can be done about reducing
the income taxes depends largely.
of course. on what other form of
taxation can be found as a sub
stitute for them. The one new form
of taxation that is universally dis
cussed Is the direct sales" tax, oc-
casionally known as the turn
over" tax. This project proposes a
thing that is bought or sold. The
proposal as a whole cannot be read
lily discussed in a small space. be-
cause it takes SO many forms. In
its broadest form II would be a
universal direct tax of 1 per cent
on everything-goods sold by retail
stores, by wholesalers. by manufac-
turers. salaries. wages. the sale of
land, houses. shares of stock. bonds.
and everything. Some would make
the rate not over one-half of per
cent: others would exempt farm
products and wages.
Direct Sales Tax.
without attempting to describe
the variations of this proposal. it
can be said that there Is a differ
ence of opinion among the leaders
as to whether the idea of a sales
tax in any form should be adopted
at all. Senator Snioot, OF the
Finance Committee. and Chairman
Fordney. Of the Ways and Means
Committee. are believed to be In
favor of some form Of this direct
sales tax. Some of the other equally
important leaders are believed to
be still dubious about II.
The least encouraging aspects OF
these talks with those who will
write the new tax law Is their lack
of authority or positiveness. They
do not seem to approach the sub
ject with confidence or Eourage.
For example. IT is discouraging to
hnd a business man who has made
fortune in the automobile busi-
ness saying frankly and boldly that
rubber ought to bear tax Of is
cents a pound. and gasoline 5 cents
a gallon: while the Congressman or
Senator who Is to make the tax
shrinks with timidity from such a
proposal

TOURISTS SEE
Two CRUCIFIED
Actual Agonies of Christ Suf-
fered by Men of Strange
Greed.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex, March
2s.-At least two men were cruci-
fed in New Mexicd on Good Friday.
There were probably more, but
American visitors at the village OF
the Penitentes at Albuquerque. in
Northern New Mexico, saw the
naked forms of two men tied to
huge crosses on which they suffered
the agonies of Christ for more than
half an hour, when they were taken
down bleeding and exhausted.
On a lonely hill. under a black
sky the crosses were outlined
against a cold horizon and the fig
ures hanging thereon were wound
in white sheets against which the
swirling snowfiakes beat. The fig
ures were tied there in memory of
Christ, the elimination of a week
of ceremonies of a fast disappear
ing order that dates back to the
days of the conquistadores.
The victims are members of the
Hermanos De LUZ, Brothers of Light,
found in little groups throughout
New Mexico and other sections set
tied by the early Spaniards. Eye
witnesses saw not only the actual
crucifixion, but other scenes repro
ducing the sufferings of Christ be-
fore the ascension.
On Maundy Thursday and through
out Good Friday. fiagellants parad-
ed in solemn procession. fiogging
themselves across the back with
heavy thong whips dipped in brine
water to aecentuate the pain. There
are reports that in these Holy Week
observances of the Brothers of Light
men have died on the cross, thus
to a verify reproducing the crucifix-
ion and passion of Christ.

Mr.. Roosevelt. by invitation OF
President Harding attended yester-
days Cabinet meeting to discuss the
question of lifting the censorship.
Following the Cabinet meeting, Mr..
Roosevelt gave out the following
statement:
In the past tho policy of the

furthermore felt that censorship
even of limited nature implies a
departmental sponsorship for those
messages which are permitted to be
sent.

view of the fact that no national
emergency exists at thic time. the
