Would Restrict
Sale of Firearms

Assemblyman Charles W. cleary
has announced that he will intro
duce into the California legislature,
which opened here today, the bill
intended to restrict the sale OF re-
voivers and pistols that was defeated
after a sharp tilt last session.
THE purpose OF the measure"
Cieary said recently. "is to reduce
the promiscuous sale OF weapons
capable OF being concealed upon the
person. II would make II necessary
for purchasers TO obtain permits
from county boards OF parole"
The author Of the bill attributed
its defeat In 1919 to the persistent
opposition and effective lobby OF
the small arms dealers and the re-
tail hardware dealers association OF
the state"

(By Associated Press.l

tions wouulud re required to pay eX-
cess profits taxes for another year
under decision today of the senate
finance committee which finally ap-
proved the provision in the house bill
repeating these taxes as of next jan
uary l instead of last January l as
recommended by Secretary Mellon.
The committee also inserted a pro-
vision in the house measure repeal
ing the capital stock tax effective

cent instead of 12 1-2 per cent eff
fective January l, 1922.
These represented the major de-
cisions reached today at two sessions
although it was said officially that
the committee practically had decid-
ed to amend the house bill so as to
continue the tax on express packages
and oil transported by pipe lines.
Whether any portion of the taxes on
the transportation of freight and
passengers will be retained after
next January l will depend, Chair
man Penrose said, upon a report to
be made tomorrow by the treasury
as to the savings in expenditures ex-
pected to be made this year by the
various government departments.

JAPAN REFUSES TO Be
PARTY TO DISARM|NG
OR EVEN CURTAIL|NG
Toxic Newspaper Tells
of Momentous Decis-
ion in Orient
CBy AssocIn.cd I,ressA

Toxic, Japan, Sept. 13-A confer
ence of the naval and military au-
thorities and the officials of the for
eign Office has decided upon the fol-
lowing besic principles on the limita-
tion of naval armament according to
a local newspaper.
Japan has no intention of reduc-
ing the strength of her navy indie
pendently, nor of suspending the
previously arranged building pro-
gram. But as she has heratily ap-
proved curtailment so as to promote
the happiness of mankind Japan is
willing to make efforts to establish
some arrangement with the powers.
Japan believes, first, that it is
against the fundamental spirit of the
Washington conference that any pow
er should possess superior forces
sufficient to secure a decisive victory
over any other power or powers,
therefore the powers should mini
mize the scope of armament to the
same degree as that of the country
having the smallest naval strength
among the powers concerned.
Second: The powers concerned
shall not establish any naval base or
make any arrangement to serve as
naval bases for their navies on the
Pacific.

Three Hundred Memb's
Is Marx Set For
Workers

When the results of yesterdays
canvass for members of the Palatka
Chamber of Commerce were tabulat-
ed it was found that the three teams
had enlisted approximately fifty
new members, mark much below
what had been expected for the first
day, but this shortage was not due to
indifference on the part of citizens
but the length of time necessary to
fill out the initiation papers and ex-
plain the method of collection of dues
to the various one solicited.
That Palatka will join the Cham
Der practically one hundred per cent
strong was indicated by the readi-
ness with which lall who were ap-
preached joined in with the move
ment. Two of the committee report
ed that they had not been turned
down by single person, while the
third had only one refusal.
Be Ready Today
If will probably require more than
three days in which to round up all
the members, but the work will be
continued systematically until the
membership is the largest that has
ever been enrolled in any commercial
organization in Palatka. If any one
lis missed ~ the committee they
should not be disappointed, for some
one will be AROUND sooner or later.
But those who have already made up
their minds to join the Chamber
should save the committees as much
trouble as possible and send their ap-
plication dirsct to Secretary Hart at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms.
Mr.. Hart spent last night at Or
lando as a representative of Palatka
at the ship by water movement that
has been launched by Sanford, Or
lando, Leesburg and other points. He
will make a report to the Board Of
Governors on his return. He was
authorized to broach to those present
the matter of organization of an in
dependent boat line to operate all the
way from Jacksonville to Sanford.
To Have Get Together Meeting
AS soon as the membership COM
mittees finish their work a big get
together luncheon will be staged at
which the definite program for win
ter work of the Chamber will be an
nounced. At that time President
Merriam will also announce the
standing committees.
