OLDEST PRINTER DIES

Francis Marion McClanahan, one
of the oldest residents of Pemiscot
county and doubtless the Oldest prac
tical printer within our borders, died
Sunday afternoon quite suddenly at
the home of his son, Will McClana
han, at Holland, being. it is believed,
a victim of heart trouble, in addition
to the iniirmities incident to his ex-
treme age, for he had reached the
ag of eightyseven, we are informed.
Mr. McClanahan had eaten a rath
er hearty dinner, we are told. and had
passed into the sitting room of his
sons home. The latter had noticed
that his father was quite nervous,
unusually agitated. in fact, and he
followed in order to keep watch upon
him The old gentleman collapsed
in a chair and death came to him
almost instantly.
The body was brought to this city

the LaForge Parlors at one o'clock,
under auspices of the Odd Fellows
Lodge. of which he had long been
member, assisted by the Rev. Elmer
Peal, the Methodist minister here. be
ing later inferred at Little Prairie
cemetery Quite large number of
relatives and friends of the deceased
came up for the funeral, it being very
convenient for them to do so since
the establishment of the new local
train service.

earliest residents of this county and
was connected with the printing pro-
fession here a half century or more
ago 1t is related of him that he
set the headlines for the initial issue
of the Argus upon its establishment
and he put in a paper at Steele a
number of years ago, which he later
sold to another party. He has been
connected with various papers in the
county from time to time. but for
some years had not been active In the
profession. His health was remark
ably good. however. and he was ia

county in recent years, acting as

TAX BUTT.
Proposed Revision Puts Burden
on $4,000 to 100000
Incomes.
BY j. BART CAMPBELL,
International News Service.

While the country is still groan-
ing from the effects of the recent in
come tax wallop, the trainers OF
revenue legislation for the new Con-
gress are considering a revision up
ward in the tax on incomes in ex-
cess of $1,000.
PLAN HITS "MIDDLEMAN..
A number of proposals have been
submitted. but IL was conceded today
by the leaders in Congress that the
'1ittle fellow whose income is $4,000
or less will not be affected. 1t is the
"middle-man." whose annual earnings
run from $4,000 to 500, 700, who will
be hit. The tax legislators are con-
fronted with the task of making UP
the big deficit anticipated in this
years revenue from excess profits and
taxes.
Heavy losses sustained by the coun-
try's business and agricultural inter
ests during the past year are
regarded as certain to reduce mater
tally the large revenue formerly de-
rived from the excess profits and
higher surtaxes.
The repeal of these taxes is ex-
pected to be one of the first moves
toward the revision OF the national
taxation system. In one breath big
Business" is urging their abolition
on the grounds that they impose an
onerous and unfair burden on busi-
ness initiative. and is explaining there
is no further necessity for them on tho
plea that excess profits have been
virtually nil during the past year as
compared with those OF the war period.
PROVES kNOTsTY PROBLEM.
How to find an adequate substitute
for these taxes is one of the knottiest
problems confronting Congress.
Among an increasing number of Re-
publican members of the Senate and
House opposition to a sales, or a con-
sumption tax, is already manifestirfg
itself.
Another plan for raising revenue
that Republican leaders now have un-
Ger consideration is reduction of the
higher brackets of taxes on securi-
ties, which now run as high as 65
Fer cent.
1t is believed that by slicing these
higher brackets in half, or cutting
them to an average of 30 per cent.
investment In taxable securities would
be encouraged, instead of being rend-
cred virtually prohibitive as It is
claimed to be at present The investor
would not object to meeting a bracket
of ~ per cent, IL is thought, and
would not divert so much of his
money to non-taxable securities,
which has been ono OF the principal
causes of the Government facing a
in tax returns this year.
Until Treasury Department experts
have had an opportunity to figure
out the amount and form of revenue
derived from the first quarterly pay
ment of this years taxes, Republican
leaders will not attempt TO do more
than fix tentative plans for tax re-
vision.

TARIFF DEBATE
TOBE LIMITED
Senate Leaders to Invoke Clo-
ture to Clear Way for
Tax Revision.
By w. II. ATKINS,
International News Service.

Cloture will be invoked by the
Senate to insure passage OF tarifi
legislation and clear the way for tax
revision in the next Congress. This
plan, virtually agreed upon by lead
ers, was laid before Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon today. and the lat
ter at once began shaping a tax
program to submit to leaders at the
Capitol.
CLEAR DECK FOR TARIFF.
Secretary Mellon was informed in a
lengthy conference with Senator Nc
Cumber, vice chairman of the Senat c
Finance Committee, that through the
adoption of cloture in the Senate
nothing will prevent the passage of
both new revenue and tariff legisla-
ton at the coming session.
'There is urgent need for an emer-
gency tariff measure to protect our
farmers" said Senator McCumber.
"The wool and cattle Industries par
ticularly need protection against for
elgn dumping. This protection must
be given the farmers. Conscientious
sections may have must be sacrificed
for the common good in the emer-
gency which we now face. The action
that seems so imperative to us can
only be secured through the adoption
of the cloture rule. / have no doubt
now that it will be put through"
As soon as figures are compiled
within a few days, on the Govern
ment's probable revenues this year,
on the basis of the initial quarterly
returns on Income and profit taxes.
the revenue program will begin TO
take definite shape. The drop in rev.
enue from last year may exceed ST.
600, 900 900, because of business de-
preston and losses in profits general
ly. The tax prospects for this years
earnings are even more discouragiug
to Treasury tax experts.
TO CHOP sURTAxEs.
Administration leaders are said now
to be firmly OF the opinion that the
higher surtaxes must be lowered
as high as 20 per cent. The high
rates admittedly are driving richer
taxpayers to invest their money in
tnx-exempt securities. In this plan
there Is absolute agreement with the
views OF former Secretary Houston
who recommended to Congress a seal
ing down of the heavy war surtaxes.
Although Secretary Mellon has not
outlined his tax program, he is ri wing
serious consideration to the sales, or
Consumption" taxes. Senator Nc.
Cumber has been informed that at
least $3.50, 100000 in additional reve-
nue. can be raised through a per
cent sales tax. Some estimates. how
ever, are that if consumption taxes
are extended far enough into the so
called luxury" class of commodities
at least sS,000.oo0,000 more revenue
can be raised for the Government.

sumo their labors Monday. They arc
