Event Is to Be Held at Oma-
ha, Nebraska, November
3-5-Course to Cover
100 Miles

OMAHA.-Ten well-knoWn aces,
representing four nations, already
have entered for the Pulitzer trophy
race, the principal event of the In
ternational Aero congress, to be held
here November SIS.
The race is one of $50 miles over
30-mile laps. The course is from Flor
ence, Neb., to Loveland, IL miles; to
Calhoun, z miles, and return to Flor
ence, II miles.
The prizes: The Pulitzer trophy, a
handsome silver figure of woman
holding in uplifted hand .an airplane,
and cash prizes of $4,000, $4,000 and
$1,000.
Captain Emil Won Bethmann, sec
ond in command Of Baron Won Rich
ter's famous flying circus, and Ober
Lieutenant Johann Schleswig, FOX
ker flyer, have asked permission to
enter the trophy race. Although Sadi
LIE Conte, famous French flier and
winner of the Bennett cup at Etamp1,
France, objected strenuously at first
to the admittance of the erstwhile
enemies of his country, he finally
agreed to be governed by the wishes
of the majority.
So when the Pulitzer race gets un-
der way there will be in peaceful
competition American, French and
German aces who so lately overseas
were fighting bitter aerial duels
among the clouds.
Captain G. c. Mosley, of Detroit,
who last year won the trophy at the
first Pulitzer race at Mitchell field,
Long Island, is entered again, in the
hope of capturing the trophy per-
manently. 1t goes to the filler who
wins the race twice successfully.
Following Mosley's victory last
year, the 1921 race was awarded to
Detroit, the city he represented. Be-
cause of inadequate field facilities
Detroit was unable to hold the race
and it was awarded to Omaha, which
has been making plans for a huge
reunion of all the air men who par
ticipated in the world war.
In addition to the Pulitzer trophy
race, other aerial events are sched-
uled, with additional prizes totaling
$500.
Among the we1l-known American
filters who have entered to date are:
H. e. Hartney, secretary of the
American Aero club; Albert Acosta,
w. D. Culberson, B. G. Bradley, w.
de Haviland and F. A. johnson.

BENSON DESCRIBES: COTTON SEED
SHIP BOARDS TASK To- Be SYSTEM

Admiral w. S. Benson, the man,
who, under the direction of the sec
rotary of the navy, stood at the head
of all naval, transport and shipping
from 1915 until the close
of the world war, in Atlanta to at
mems Association of Georgia. Sun.
day, talked to a representative of
The Journal on several subjects Of
interest Saturday evening at the
home Of Jack J. Spalding, where he
Is guest during his visit here.
At present, Admiral Benson is a
commissioner on the United States
shipping board, of which body he was
the chairman for the first tltteen
months of it's existence.
1.-THE shipping board" said Admiral
Benson, was created for the purpose
Of developing and maintaining an
American merchant marine. When
the war came, it was the only lnstru-
mentality whereby the navy depart
ment could build ships and conduct
transport operations, and to fac1lltate
this work with the elimination Of red
tape, the emergency fleet corporation
was established. Only government
money was used by this corporation,
but it was conducted as a private
business.
Our biz work following the war
was to get the shipping poard pach
on it's original basis: that of Great
ing and building up an American
merchant marine.
prior to the war, American ships
carried less than l per cent of lhe
shipping of this country. At pres
ent vessels bearing American flags
carry Al per cent Of our shipping.
We are not after 100 per cent. We
simply want to establish merchant
marine which will carry the majority
of American shipping-so that we
will be in position to establish rates
and stabilize the service"
Admiral Benson has been given his
commission in the navy for life: Prior
to the war he held the office of CHIEF
Of naval operations. a position cor
responding to the chief of staff of the
army.
He was questioned regarding the
value of air service to the navy, and
concerning the recent disaster to the
giant dirigible, the ZR-2, in England
"Air service is palpably very nee
essary as an auxiliary to the navy,
said Admiral Benson. "Of course,
it is ridiculous to assume that air
planes can replace warships. Their
chief value lies in their ability to

RETROACTIVE REPEAL
Of EXCESS PROFITS.
TAX IS DECIDED ON
Tentative Policy Agreed on
by Republican Committee
Members Is Seen as VIC
Tory for Administration

WASHINGTON, Sept, 11.-Retros~-
tive repeal of the excess profits YAK
in order to reduce the tax burden
Of business during the present year
was decided upon tentative Saturday
day by the Republican members Of
the senate finance committee.
This was victory for the admin
istration tax position as outlined by
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, but
1t Is certain to cause a battle be-
tween the two houses of congress If
the senate approves this plan.
The house refused to make the re-
peal of the excess profits taxes re-
troactive on the theory that it had
already been collected by corpora
lions which would in effect pocket"
it
Four Of the six tax changes in the
house bill proposed by Mr.. Mellon
were accepted by the Republican
members of the committee, thus in
dicating that senate Republicans in
general will lineup with the ad-
pinistration in opposition to various
features of the house tax bill.
Other Proposals Adopted
The other three proposals urged
by Mr.. Mellon that were adopted are:
1. Increase Of corporation income
tax to Is per cent as of last Jan
uary 1.
2. Tax on proprietary medicines,
perfumery and cosmetics as of jan
uary 1.
s. Elimination of the capital stock
tax as Of next January 1.
The suggestion of Mellon that the
maximum rate on surtaxes be re-
duced to 25 per cent next January,
was rejected and the house and the
maximum Of SO per cent adopted.
His proposal to cut transportation
taxes in half as Of next January 1,
and repeal them on January 1, 1923,
was also overridden the house pro-
vision for complete repeal next jan
uary accepted.
Repeal Of the profits taxes caused
members and Mr.. Melons sugges-
ton was adopted by a majority of
one. With that narrow margin
members who are opposed to the
plan, believe it may yet be voted
down by the full committee. Repeal
of the transportation tax provision
also was adopted by close votes.
While the committee has definitely
decided the tax bill must provide 49,
200,000,0O0, as asked by Mr.. Mellon,
no plan to make up the losses that
will result from the elimination of
the transportation taxes has yet
taken shape.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, the chief
advocate of the sales tax, declared
today he would offer his bill provid-
ing for a per cent turnover tax on
all goods, wares and merchandise as
substitute for certain sections of
the bill, before it is reported to the
senate. If rejected, he said he would
offer it in the senate.
Meanwhile, the Democrats in the
senate are preparing to launch a
party fight against the tax bill. SEN
ator Simmons, of North Carolina,
ranking minority member of the
finance committee, declared he would
urge Minority Leader Underwood to
call a party caucus when he returned

The state department of agricul-
ture announced Saturday the crea-
ton Of a bureau for the handling of
cotton seed which service will be
extended free of cost to every ship
per, producer or group of producers
in Georgia who handles as much as

reau, the department issued a state
ment, in part, as follows:
1T is well recognized in the cot
ton seed industry that the price

perience that cotton seed vary in oil
content from 81 to At gallons per
ton. The majority of seed in Geor-
gia are bought by, the mills on a
mean average Of from 40 to Al gall
seen usually the seller of seed con-
tanning AZ gallons of oil would not
receive any more for his seed than
would the seller of seed containing
81 gallons, although on the present
market price of oil the seed of At
per ton more than those of 81 gal
Ions.
THE oil mill industry is one of
the most important in the south,
and has drawn into its service some
of the best and most brilliant minds
Of the south. 1t is the intention of
this bureau to seek and obtain the
cooperation of the oil millers, as a
necessary adjunct to the success OF
our new project. We propose to show
to the millers, that through this
free service we offer, seed can be
located at a moments notice, with
the oil content already established.
We have made arrangement with the
state chemist, whereby samples
properly drawn from carload lots of
cotton will he anal VZe6 and
the oil content developed. Only
such seed as have been sampled in
strict compliance with the instruc-
tions of the state bureau of mar
kets will be analysed. Thus the
mill will know exactly what they
are buying and Wi be enabled to
pay for the seed on a basis of it's
value"
