TAX REVISION IS
NEXT QUESTION
HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS CON-
MITTEE TACKLES SCALING
DOWN JOB WITH LITTLE HOPE
FOR GENERAL REDUCTION
IN GROSS AMOUNT.

=.
Washington, July 23.-The House
WAYS and means committee will set
about tax revision with the idea of
raising 81, ,oOO,, 100000 in revenue ex-
elusive of postal receipts in the next
year, Chairman Fordney said tonight
after he, with other Republican men,
bers of the committee had conferred
at length with Secretary Melton on
the general subject of taxation. The
amount required is the same as has
been raised by the present law and
shows no hope therefore of reduc-
ton in the gross amount needed.
. The governments requirements
will be met, however, in slightly diff
ferent manner than under the present
law, the chairman said. Many changes
are proposed in the hope of readjust-
ing the burden in way that will en-
courage commerce and industry and
thereby increase the revenues, &C.
cording to Mr.. Fordney.
Although the conference with the
treasury head was said to have pro-
vided q basis upon which the commit
tee may begin work Tuesday, Mr..
Fordney probably will take up the
subject with President Harding be-
fore proceeding. Mr.. Fordney re-
marks it appeared that a majority of
members were agreed on abolition of
the excess profit tax and the substitu-
tion for it of some levy on corpora
tions, probably around Is per cent.
Reduction in the higher surtaxes on
incomes also seemed assured since
they are regarded at the Treasury as
driving capital into tax exempt Sc
curities and as a discouragement to
investments of nature which produce
federal revenue. .. ... .
The new tax bill probably will be
made retroactive over the calendar
year Of 1921 on incomes and other
forms Of taxes based on the calendar
period. AS to other taxes, Mr.. Ford
ney said he hoped to make most of
them applicable Immediately upon
passage of the bill. ..
Transportation taxes would be re-
pealed under Mr.. Fordney's plan. but
he said it might not be possible to do
so. Many Of the special wartime
taxes, described recently by Mr.. Mel
lon as "nuisances," are certain to be
eliminated under the program to be
advocated by the committee chair
man.
AS for q reduction in the taxes on
normal incomes or the raising of the
personal income exemptions, Mr..
Fordney held out little hope. He said
however, that if sufficient new sourc-
es of revenue can be tapped to off
set the losses anticipated through ab-
clifton of the excess profits and re-
duction of the higher surtaxes on in
comes, the personal income exemp-
tions will get some consideration as
well as the rates on the normal in
comes.
Chairman Fordney would not say
that general tax reduction was pos
sible, but emphasized that the burden
could be made lighter through redis-
tribution of the levies. ,-.... e.

HARDING PLANS TO
PAY RAILROADS
WILL SUBMIT PRO-
POSAL TO CONGRESS FOR
FUNDING DEBTS ROADS OWE
UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT.

mENl.
Washington, July 24.-President
Harding will submit to Congress
next Tuesday the administration
plan for funding the debts the rail
the railroad administration the settle
ing, without additional appropria-
tions, the claims of the roads grow
ing out of federal control.
An understanding has been reach
ed between the roads and the ad-
ministration, 1T was learned today
to facilitate speedy settlement Of
the claims of the carriers without
any new arrangement or modifica-
tion of the wartime contracts with
the government. Authority to fund
the debts of the roads, it was ex-
planned, is given the President by
the transportation act, but it, was
deemed advisable to acquaint the
Congress with the methods under
consideration.
Use Of the War Finance Corpora
ton as the agency affecting, through
the railroadadministrat the settle
ment of the governments financial
relations has been suggested, as well
as other means, by additional author
ity from Congress would be required
to take part in the contemplated
transactions;
After three weeks of negotiations
the basis upon which the railroads
claims would be quickly met, was
said to have been reached through
the roads acceding 10 the aministra-
tianS request to waive claims for
'dnsffciency Of labor in work done
on the lines by the government be-
fore returning them to private con-
troll. In waiving such claims, how
ever, it was declared the right of any
of the roads to sue on them in the
courts would not be affected in the
event Of q failure Of settlement.
The Administrations position dur
ing the negotiations with the carriers
was declared to have been that the
roads ought to facilitate settlement
without considering what the govern
ment regarded as extravagant claims
for efficiency of labor. Only these
claims, it was asserted, were in dis
pute, and so far the labor admins
tration has refused, with the approx
al of the President, to make any ad-
justment on that basis.
On the other hand, the admin
stration felt, it was, asserted, that
the government had not been fair to
the railroads and should give them
what was rightfully theirs. At the
same time it was desirable to facili-
tate settlement of the railroad prob
lem which would enable the closing
of the railroad administration an e&-
pensive government agency.
The administration and railroads,
it was maintained, had sought g.
frank understanding, which by lay
ing aside elaborate claims for ineffi-
cheney of labor, would speed up the
settlement desired. While all the rail
roads, particularly the short lines,
were not represented in the Associa-
tion Of Railway Executives with
whom negotiations were conducted,
it was believed that the understand
ing reached would meet with the ap-
proval of all the carriers. -.

If you are loving wife, and if you

Mr. Hawkins had gone out early in
the evening on business and his wife

out sign Of anything amiss. Imag-
inc her dismay when on wakening and
tripping blithely over to wake hubby
she beheld another man, wearing her
husbands pajamas and high silk

CIRCUS DRAWS

The circus is in town.

The circus is in town.
Consequently all roads led to the
race track this afternoon where the
several acres Of white tops" are
spread. covering one of the few great
collections of wind animals in Ameri-
ca and a four-ring arena in which a
better than usual circus entertainment
was given this afternoon and will be
repeated this evening.
Fresh from it's winter quarter near
Los Angeles the AL Barnes circus has
been out just long enough to get every
act in smooth working order and all
the actors and actresses practically
perfect in their turns.
The Barnes circus is too we'll known
to the people of Ell Centre and the
valley to need much boosting from a
news writer, and all that can be said
for them is that the show is up to
the high standard of quality always
insisted upon by the proprietor, and
that it has been enlarged by many
times since it's last visit here and pre-
sents new and novel features never
before seen with this or any other cir
Gus.
The show appeared in CaleXico yes
terday where it was greeted by q
crowd that filled the ample tent space
and the entire performance was ap-
plauded and acclaimed great from the
grand entrance to the final song in
the concert, and among those who led
the applause was Gov. Epigmenio
Ybarra, of Lower California who pro-
nounced it simply great.
The street parade this morning at
tracted hundreds to the route of march
and 1t gave the people but a taste of
the splendid entertainment to follow
The performance tonight promises to
draw an even greater crowd than did
the show of the afternoon.

Mr.. G. C. Pennett, State Inspector
of Automobile Licenses, from the
Secretary of States Office, Madison,
Wisconsin, was in Edgerton on last
, Thursday, April IA, looking up the
violations of the License Law of the
State of Wisconsin.
While here, Mr. Bennett discovered
that there were a number of cars
which should be registered from
Edgerton, but these cars have not
yet secured license plates from the
Secretary of the State. Mr.. Bennett
looked into the matter and found
that in several of the cases applica-
tions had been made for licenses and
for this reason he did not take action
against parties. However, he did find
one case where the license had not
been ordered and where the party
was running without any license
plate. This party was from Monroe,
Green County. He was taken before
Judge North, and paid the customary
fine and was also required to i'm
mediately apply for a license.
The Secretary of State insists that
all cars operated in Wisconsin must
have a Wisconsin license, and that
City Authorities are requested to
see that the Automobile License Law
is strictly enforced. Therefore, Auto
lists will please give this matter their
attention, and avoid being brought
into Court.
