Pen WOMEN ELECT
FIFTY new MEMBERS

Fifty new members were elected to
the League of American Penwomen at
a meeting held last night. Mrs. Susie
Root Rhodes, supervisor of play
grounds, spoke on Fairgrounds as a
means Of reducing delinquency in
children.
Mrs. Rhodes said that the Board of
Education has been willing. since 1915,
TO grant municipal departments per-
mission to use the schoolysrds, but
that II has been impossible to secure
play leaders because of insufficient
appropriation. Congress. she said,
was unable to appropriate money for
new Fairgrounds. which Mrs. Rhodes
declared were badly needed, pIt by
using the school yards. more play
space may be obtained.
Plans for the national conventi IN

out that the amount of revenue de-
rived from the tax on incomes OF
$4,000 and less was small in COM
parison to what the bigger fellows
were soaked anyway.
The Treasury's most complete sta
tistics on the income tax are for the
calendar year 1918. These show that
of the 4.425.114 personal returns filed
for the year, 50 per cent of them
were from persons having incomes
of $4,000 or less. This so per cent

FLOCK OF CAR BUYERS
RESPONDS TO SMALL
AID IN TIMES

Have you a used car you would
like to dispose OF quickly and at
the right price? IL you have.
George M. Delsnider, 1920 G. street
northwest. says the classified col
umns OF The Washington Times will
turn the trick for you.
He had an automobile for which
he had no further use and inserted
a small advertisement In the cIassi-
Ned columns, He thought IL would
take three insertions of the ad-
vertisement to bring him a pur-
chaser with whom he could close
satisfactorily. But, a short time
after the first insertion he reported
that he had been besieged by per-
sons anxious to buy the car and
pay him his price for IT.

NO TAX RELIEF
FOR MASSES
Burden to Stay on Small Sal
aried Man, Experts Say-CIaim
big Fellows Soaked"
BY GEORGE X. HOLMES,
Internatioaal News Service.

The groans that are going up all
over the country today as belated
income tax checks are dropped into
the Federal Treasury are penetrating
Washington. But more penetrating
still is the insistent demand for
more revenue to meet the burden Of
Governmental expenditure.
WILL CORRECT sURTAxEs.
The taxtion-and-tar legislative
experts who are now engaged in try
revenue legislation for the new Sixty
seventh Congress, which meets on
April IL, offer little hope that the in
come tax law will be materially modi-
fled under the new regime.
The income tax law Is working
smoothly-much more smoothly than
some of the other features Of the
present tax law-and they plan to
leave well enough alone. Attention
instead will be paid to the correction
of the excess profits and surtsxes.
AS for the small salaried man, he
can look forward to paying the Gov
ernment 4 per cent on his income for
some time yet. according to the Con-
gressional tax trainers. 1t is the be-
lief OF trainers of legislation as well
as Treasury experts that neither will
the percentage of taxation be de-
creased nor the individual exemptions
be raised by the new Congress.
NO RELIEF FOR MASSES.
Congressman Joseph w. Fordney of
Michigan, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, which has the
forthcoming legislation in charge,
said today he could see no relief COM
ing for the small salaried man in
1922:
I'VE do not now plan to decrease
the percentage of tax nor increase the
exemption figures" he said. "I do
not think that the present condition
of the Treasury will warrant any re-
duction in the income tax percentages
on incomes Of less than $4,000. any
way"
Congressman mick" Longworth of
Ohio, also a member OF the Ways and
Means Committee, and rated as one Of
the tax experts of the House, ex-
pressed similar convictions.
"It appears" he said, that the re-
turns from corporations and persons
with large incomes last year have
fallen materially. 1t is the opinion
of the committee that diversion of
the large sums into non-taxable Sc
curities is largely responsible for this.
Reduction of surtaxes and excess
profits taxes or their elimination will
divert money from non-taxable Sc
curities into taxable occupation, en-
couraging building and work gener-
ally for the betterment of all con-
cerned. IL the money can be placed

DEBATED AT TRIAL
Louis A. Hill, Of Washington,
First Witness to Take
Stand Today.

WILLIAMSON, w. Va, March, 15.-
Introduction OF handwriting experts
was a surprise sprung by the State
in the trigger trial to solve the
mystery attaching to the now IA
nous bogus warrant.
Judge Robert ID. Bailey announced
he would let both sides go the
limit" to determine exactly who
signed the warrant on which De-
tective Albert Felts tried to arrest
Sid Hatfield and which led to the
Matewan gun battle.
Louis A. Hill, OF Washington, ID.
c., assistant chief of the United
States Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. was the first to take the
stand.
He swore that In his opinion "the
entire document was written by Dan
Chambers"
II the court Is satisfied on the
strength of the expert testimony that
tho warrant was forged by Dan
Cha mbers, the latter will be arrested
and formally charged with forgery.
Chambers, who has three relatives
among the defendants, was q witness
for the defense and under cross
examination was repeatedly forced to
make samples OF the signature OF
Squire Stafford. which is attached to
the warrant. and which he admitted
having practiced.
Hill has been for the last five years
expert for the United
States Secret Service. He was asked
to step over to the jury and explain
in detail the process by which he had
arrived at his judgment. He did so,
letter for letter.
The expert testimony came plainly
as a shock to the defense. much of
which revolves around the bogus war
