SESSION NEAR END
AND NOTHING DONE
PASSAGE BY THE SENATE OF
FoRDNEY EMERGENCY TARIFF
BILL EXPECTED.
NO IMPORTANT BILLSPASSED
immigration and Reapportionment
Probably to Be Left oVer-soIons
to Concentrate On Appropria-
ton Measures.

Washington.-With only few more
of the regular appropriation bills has
finally been enacted and practically
all important legislation is in the air.
Passage by the Senate of the Ford.
ney emergency tariff bill, however, is
expected TO break the jam, at least OF
the appropriation measures. Leaders
believe that it still is possible, with
night sessions, to get through all of
the money bills, with the exception,
possibly, of the navy and army ap-
preparations.
The House plans to pass the last
two appropriation bills, the naval
and Qualifications budgets, very soon,
and clear the way for other legisla
ton and conference reports. A half
dozen appropriation bills are waiting
for the Senate to consider, but pro-
tracted discussion of the naval sup
ply measure is in prospect with the
controversy over reduction or sus-
pension of the building programme
imperilling its enactment.
Miscellaneous measures before the
House include the resolution for
special committee to investigate the
escape of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
draft dodger. Adoption of the reso-
luton at an early date is expected
The packer control bill, the Shep-
pard TowDer maternity and infancy
aid bill and the Smith-Towner meas
ure for a federal bureau of educa-
ton are other important measures on
the House calendar which have been
made subjects of great pressure by
supporters and proponents.
Among important bills before the
Senate are the immigration restriction
measure and the congressional reap
pOrtionment bill. The change of en-.
. actment of either is declared doubt
full The soldiers bonus bill probably
will be reported to the Senate very
soon by the finance committee, prob
ably with a provision deferring ar
rangepents for increased taxes to
meet its obligation. Final disposition
OF it in the Senate jam is uncertain.

NEAL GENERATION
TO HELP PAY DEBT
REFUNDING OF BIG LIBERTY
LOAN, G. o. p. PLAN-SPEcIAL
TAX FOR SOLDIER BONUS.
REPEAL LEVY ON PROFITS
General Idea e Giving Relief From
Tremendous Taxation to Rule,
With Possibility of Sales
Tax to Raise Bonus.

Observation-Disclosures leaders in
Congress are awaiting the inaugural
address and subsequent delineation of
the Harding fiscal policy for guidance
in the revision of the direct federal
taxation and Of the tariff.
Their plan of revision, broadly
outlined, which they hope the new
president will iudorse, is:
l. Refunding of government war
obligations over a period of 40 to so
years, thereby postponing liquidation
of the four billion dollar victory loan
which natures in 1928.
2 Repeal of the excess profits tax,
scaling down of the higher surtaxes
which drive investments into tax free
securities, and raising the income tax
exemption to pre-war levels.
8. Exercise of economy in govern
ment expenditures that no substitute
for the excess profits tax will be
necessary.
4. Levy of a special tax, possibly on
sales, to raise the fund for the sol
diers' bonus.
5. Increase of the tariff for rev.
enue as we'll as protective purposes.
Secretary of the Treasury Hous-
toms estimate that it would be neces-
sary to raise $4,000. 900, 900 a year for
some time was predicated on the as
sumption that the Victory loan will
be retired upon maturity and on the
theory that the present generation
will discharge the entire war debt.
Republican leaders are practically
a unit, however, in holding that the
next generation should bear its share
d the expense of the war from which
it will benefit and that the imme
date reduction of taxation, made
possible by debt refundfng will pro
mote an earlier revival of trade and
industry.
On the one hand are ranged those
who favor a sales tax as a substitute,
on the other. those who would raise
the taxes on corporations.
The views of these rival schools of
economists are already being aired at
length in and out of Congress.

Berlin.-The ministry of finance has
reached the conclusion that the utmost
Germany can pay in reparations IS
$50, 000,000,000 marks, this including
all she had paid so far in cash and
goods, according to information which
the Deutsch Zeitung says it has re-

outlined 6y the newspapers inform
ant, who also declares the proposal
would be submitted to the authorities
at Paris to determine whether the
coming London conference. will permit
of its consideration.
Refusal to grant consideration
would result in Germany absenting
herself from the London conference,

clares it has learned.

Several nights later a bullet crashed

that he had accidentally shot Chapman
while trying to kill Schulz.
De Saints was hanged in the yard OF
the Williamson county (Ill) Jail. he
showed no evidence of fear as he was

from American diplomatic and other

for relief work there were sent to the

were in response to a Senate resolu-

Rear Admiral Bristol. American
high commissioner at Constantinople,
recommended consolidation of Ameri-

and overlapping of effort. He told
OF the thousands Of suffering refugees
at Constantinople, in Bulgaria, Arme

WOULD TAX LANDS
OF SPECTATORS
CONVENTION DELEGATES WOULD
EQUALlZE BURDEN OF
STATE BUILDING.
HOME BUILDER PENALIzED
Are Thousands of Acres of unim.
proved cuItivatabIe Lands Held
BY Land Owners for Specu-
latiVe Purposes.

DonaldsoRville, La. Ways and
means to bring about the taxation on
a fair and reasonable basis of unim-
proved cultivable lands held for spec
ulatiVe purposes should receive the
attention of the Constitutional conven-
ton, in the opinion of c. C. Weber,
delegate to the convention from Ascen-
sion parish.
Mr.. Weber believes this is one of
the most important questions that will
come before the convention. If a tax
alton system is devised whereby spec
ulative land owners of this type will
be forced to either improve the land
or sell it to home-builders, he thinks
1t will bring about an era of develop
ment in the State. His idea is to tax
unimproved cultivable lands on a ratio
to that of the same class OF improved
cultivable lands.
There are thousands of acres Of
uninproved cultivable lands in this
State" Mr.. Weber said, that are be-
ing held by land owners for specula-
tive purposes. Much of this land is
not for sale, and that which is for
sale is held at exhorbitant prices. An
nually when the assessments are re-
viewed the owners appear either in
person or by counsel and plead for low
assessments on the ground that their
land is unimproved and is not pro-
ducing anything. Almost invariably
they have been able to get off with
small assessment, which means low
taxes.
"Often these lands adjoin farms that
are among the best in the State. The
adjoining farms are assessed to their
full value because the land is in a
high state of cultivation through the
thrift and energy of the farmers who
own them.
THE unimproved and is just as rich
In soil as that which is in cultivation.
II improved and placed in cultivation
1t would produce crops as bountifully
as the adjacent farms. The owners
are making no improvements and are
holding 1t for speculative purposes
only. The more farms that are placed
in cultivation adjacent to these large
tracts just more valuable they become.
This has brought about a situation
whereby the home-builder and the
home-owner is penalized. He is forced
to pay taxes on a high valuation be-
cause he has done something for him.
self and his State, while the specu-
lator gets off with a small tax bill.
Il am in favor of going after these
Iand-hogs by the taxation route. Tax
alton Of such lands should be on a
ratio to the same class of lands in
cultivation. Then the handbags would
be compelled to do one Of two things
improve their property so as to make
L productive, OF sell 1t.
IF they improve the land, they
would be placed on the same footing
with owners of adjacent cultivated
land. II they decided to sell it rather
than improve It or pay the increased
taxes, the land would pass into the
hands Of homeseekers and hometown
srs. That would bring prosperity and
development to the State, for IL these
valuable tracts of lands are thrown on
The market 1t will attract thousands
Of homeseekers from other. parts of
