TO HEAR COMPLAINTS
House Committee Takes up Rev.
enue Legislation.
No Prospect of Relief for Small Tax.
payer--Read justment to Tighten
Burdens of Business Men.

Washington, July 26.-With the
sales tax definitely sideuacked the
hearings of the house ways and means
committee on revenue legislation this
week will be devoted chiefly to con-
sideration of complaints against mis-
cellaneous features of the present law.
The witnesses will include repre-
sentatives Of different Industries af-
fected by present taxes.
Among those who will appear be-
fore the committee will be Representa-
tive Mills, New York, who recently in
troduced a bill providing for a
spending tax" as a substitute for
present surtaxes on individual in
comes Another bill which will be
urged before the committee is the
measure introduced by Representative
Keller, Minnesota, which proposes a
land tax as a substitute for most OF
the presSut surtaxes.
Members of the committee, how
ever, appear to have made up their
minds definitely to follow the recon-
mendations of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon and little consideration
viii be given to schemes which are adj
vanced by others.
The hearings will continue several
days Following the conclusion of the
hearings the members viii confer with
treasury officials ON taxes for the en-
suing year. 1t is hoped to complete
the bill within two or three weeks.
None of the congress leaders are
holding out hopes now of reduction
in taxes. The assurance is given,
however, that there will be a read
justment which will tighten the bur-
dens of business men and corpora
tions. BY the repeal of the excess
tax and the substitution of an in
creased fiat corporation tax it is ex-
pected that the difficulties in making
tax returns will be substantially
lightened.
There is no prospect that The small
tax payer will be able To benefit by
any reduction in his taxes.

ANOTHER NOTE
SENT TO JAPAN
Tokyo Ted to Accept Invitation
and Talk PreIiminaries
Afterwards.
TWO PROPOSALS ARE PLAIN
Powers Must Subscribe to Washing
toms Contention That Disarma.
ment and Far Eastern Question
Are Practically Inseparable.

Washington, July 27.-Aeeept Presi-
dent Harding's invitation to the arma-
ment and Far Eastern conference first
and talk preliminary conference after
wards.
This is the burden OF a note adj
dressed to Japan by Secretary of
State Hughes, it was announced Off
cially here. The communication was
in reply to japanese Inquiries as to
the scope of the forthcoming confer
ence, and made it plain that this gov
ernment has no intention of forcing
any particular program upon any ma
ton. At the same time Secretary
Hughes is understood to have empha-
sized the point that the likelihood of
successful conference would be en-
HANGED were no hard and fast pro
gram to be laid down beforehand
CoincidentalIy with the announce
ment that such note has been sent
to Japan, government officials let 1t
be known that there are no objections
TO a preliminary conference in Wash
ington, after all of the invited powers
have agreed to discuss the two plain
propositions of the Presidents invi-
tation. In other words, they must
subscribe to this governments conten-
ton that disarmament AID the Far
Eastern question are so closely related
that they are inseparable.
SO far as Great Britain is concerned,
government officials said that the
'ghost of her efforts to have pre-
liminary conference in London before
all the invited nations have agreed
to come into the Washington meeting
mas been laid" It is believed here
now that Great Britain is reconciled
to preliminary conference Of her
own"
Otherwise stated, it is believed that
during the present and closing week
of the imperial conference at London
on the defense of the realm, Lloyd
George will ascertain the premiers'
point of view with reference to the
Washington meeting. Then IL the
premiers are unable to attend the
opening sessions, Lloyd George will be
In position to speak for them.
1t was limited here that Lloyd
George would not be disappointed very
much if the dominion premiers were
unable to attend the conference at
all. There are reasons for believing
also, that he is displeased with the
rather frank reference to the Anglo
Japanese treaty and Americas rela-
ton to that pact by Premier Hughes
of Australia.
