MRS. }. r. MILLER DIED
LAST MONDAY MORNING

Relatives here as well a. host
q frierds were shocked when the in
r1rmaiion was flashed over the wires
tn this place from Fort Davis, that
Mrs. J r. Miller was dead, as her
death was the least expected Of most
any other person. Mrs. Miller, it
seems was in good health, or as good
a. common. up till last Friday when
she happened to an accident and fell
and broke her hip, from which she
did not recover
Mrs. Miller Is widely known thru
out this section, being the wife Of
Rev. ]. n. Miller, pioneer Baptist
preacher, who preached all over this
section Of the country years ago, and
FOR many years made Lubbock their
home. Last year they moved TO Fort
Davis 20 reside, on account of the

NO REDUCTION IN U. S.
TAX ON 1921 INCOME

Washington, August 23.-Fear Of
rejection BY the House Of an amend
mcnt to the tax bin making the revis-
ion retroactive on incomes Of the cal
cndar year 1921 threatens to cause
the Senate Finance Committee TO al
low IL 70 become effective January
/, 1922. as provided in the bill as
passed by thte House.
Not only have majority of the
Republican members Of the House
been shown by the caucus action 70
be against making the excess profits
tax repeal retroactive but practically
the entire Democratic membership
would line up similarly.
Farm and labor organizations,
while unable TO prevent the repeal Of
the excess profits tax as they would
like TO do, yet may have sufficient
power TO prevent making the repeal
retroactive.
Practically all the leading COM
mercial organizations in tn, country
however, are expected to bring pres
sure to bear upon the Senate Finance
Committee to make the tax changes
retroactive. Representatives of the
American Bankers Association and
other organizations which are active
in the matter, are flooding the Sena-
tors with kilograms and letters on the
proposition.
