gated at the present term. He stated

years in and around Lake City, but
that it had been impossible to get

lieves that the jury in the Jonesboro

MONDELL BELIEVES
SALES TAX DOOMED.
PREDICTS LIFTING" INSTEAD OF
A SHIFTING" OF PRESENT
TAX BUDRENs.
NO SUBSTITUTES NEEDED
House Leader Declares Objectionable
Features Can Be Eliminated
Hearings Will Start
Soon.

WashingtOn.-Congress will refuse
to enact sales tax legislation, Repre-
sentative Mondell OF Wyoming, re-
publican leader of the House, declared.
Mr.. Mondell also reiterated his previ-
GUS declaration that there should be
lifting instead of shifting" OF tax
burdens. He indicated his belief that
Objectionable taxes can be repealed
without providing any substitutes, not
withstanding President Harding's dec
laration in his address TO Congress
that relief from tax burdens can come
for the present only through a read
justment of taxes and that the reve-
nue. from internal taxation must be
kept up TO level of at least $4,000.
100000 annually for the next two
years, which is approximately what
present tax laws would yield.
There is not going TO be any gales
tax" said Mr.. Mondell. There won't
be any for two reasons. First, sales
tax under the American form of gov.
eminent cannot be justified save as
war OF emergency measure, and sec-
ond, for the reason that what the coun.
try needs and is demanding is lift
ing and not shifting of the tax bur
den, and therefore there must be no
additional taxes"
Representative Mondell declared
that the floating debt must be con-
sidered part Of the war debt and H.
nanced as such. He said 1t should be
carried along until refunding opera
tions are necessary In connection with
the Victory loan and then absorbed in
a long term bond issue. II is on the
question Of the disposition OF the
floating debt that there Is q difference
of opinion as to the amount Of revs'
nue. needed from taxation.
"The time has come" said Mr.. Mon.
dell In final thrust at the sales tar,
ito repeal some Of our taxes rather
than. to be cudgelling our brains
searching for new methods Of taxa
ton"
Present prospects are that the hear
ings before the Senate finance com.
mittee on tax legislation will not start
until the emergency tariff bill 10 out

Wax From Weeds.

Four million tons of a wax-bearing
plant, with an estimated market value
of $40,0OO,OOO, are waiting annually in
Texas for some enterprising person to
pick them up.
This wax-producer is the candelilia,
and the industry of manufacturing the
wax has long been an important one
In Mexico. The process of manufac-
ture is by boiling and steaming, or by
beating the weed. The wax Is then
shipped to England, France and other
European countries, and to the United
States, where it Is refined and used In
making candles, monograph records,
floor polishes and variety of other
articles. The fibrOus residue may be
used for the manufacture of paper,
but this is still in the experimental
stage.

OPERATION OF IMMIGRATION
LAW

Attacks on the per cent immigra-
ton law, are being made with the
specific intention of discrediting the
law, according to ecretary of Labor
Davis. Labor Department officials
say that efforts to bring the law into
disrepute are more than likely to re-
suit in Congress shutting off i'm
migration entirely. Reiterating the
statement made by President Harding
in letter to Representative Siegel
of New York, that much of the
trouble was caused by dishonest"
steamship lines bringing over more
than the monthly quotas of each ma
tionality, the Secretary of Labor de-
clared that many pitiful stories of
the hardships worked by the law
were circulated with the intention of
discrediting the law.

Forced Into Circus Business.

The name of Adam Forepaugh, so
we'll known to followers of the circus
world, became the important factor
1t played in that sphere through acct
dent rather than design. Years ago,
Dan Rice and his circus were known
throughout the states. Rice & War
ner circus enjoyed success for some
time. Then hard luck followed them,
and they were plunged into period
of financial depression.
The show stranded In Philadelphia.
Adam FOreback, Philadelphia butch
er, had been given the contract to fur
nish meat for the organization; and,
when money was not forthcoming to
meet his. bill, sought council of an at
torney. AS a result an attachment
was secured. Rice and Warner held q
consultation. They decided that the
bottom had fallen out Of the circus
business. So they turned over to Fore
back the properties and paraphernalia
of the circus In settlement Of the
claim.
With this material on his hands,
Foreback could do but one thing. He
started out as circusman. FOreback
was changed to Forepaugh, name that
became a household word In America
and which remains one today.
