Serve Notice They Will Not
Agree to Additional Lev
les on Higher Incomes
SENATORS PROTEST
Accuse Committee on Finance Of
Yielding to Radical Element of
Party.

Washington, Oct. S.-Thc taxation
troubles of the Republican leader
| ship in the Senate increased today
when the House bucked against
part of the compromise program
forced in the Senate by the Demo-
cratic and insurgcnt Republican
combination.
Representative Mondell, Republi-
can floor leader in the House, and
Chairman Fordney, Of the Ways and
Means Committee, are said to have
given notice to Senator Penrose and
other leaders of the Senate that the
lower chamber would not stand for
increasing the surtaxeS on higher
incomes to a 80 per cent maximum.
The House limit, it was stated, is q
32 per cent maximum surtaX.
The increase TO 30 per cent had
been accepted by Senator Penrose
and other conservatives Of the FL
nance Committee in their efforts to
save the Taxation bill by yielding
to most of the demands of the oppo-
sition combination. Other conceS-
sions made TO the bipartisan insur-
gent group included repeal of all
the transportation taxes at the end
of this year, re-enactment OF the
Capital Stock tax, increases in the
Inheritance taxes, repeal OF the MA
jority of the sO-called nuisance
taxes" and :: revision of Ike corpo-
ration tax schedule.
The House leaders indicated they
might go along in the interest Of
harmony on most of the changes pro-
posed. but it should be known right
now that the lower body would kick
over the traces on a maximum sur
tax or incomes OF 30 per cent. It
was contended By the House leaders
that the Ways and Means Commit
tee had determined upon 81 per
cent. maximum, the Republican eau
Gus had approved this figure and the
Republican House had ratified it.
In conversations between the lead
ers of the two bodies, House spokes-
men are understood to have charged
that the Senate is becoming the rad
ical body Of Congress end its
Finance Committee was yielding to
the radical clement in the party.
This element was accused, more or
less, of playing politics win taxation
rates am dendeavoring to make capl-
tai back home.
Adding to the difficulties If the FL
nance Committee, which took no
formal action today on the cOmpro-
mise program as substantial" agreed
upon yesterday, Republican Senators
from the industrial East Joined with
the House leaders in rejecting the
higher income surtaX proposals. This
developed another insurgent group
among the G. O. p. and demonstrated
that no sooner are the Western
Senators Of the agricultural bloc"
mollified than the East rebels.
Eastern Senators said to be discon-
tented with the surtax compromise
included Brandcgee. Cornecticut;
Calder, New York; Edge, New Jer-
sey; Mclean, Connecticut, and
Moses, New Hampshire.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Oct. S.-The keenest
qualification was expressed at the
State Department today over "oro
from Australia that three OF the BRIT.
ish dominions, presumably Australia,
New Zealand and Canada, will have
representation on the British delega-
ton to the conference on the llmlta-
tion of armaments. From the time
of the conception of the conference It
has been the hope of this govern
ment that the British dominions would
be represented at the conference, and,
far from placing obstacles IN the way
of dominion representation, this gov
ernment has done everything possible
to encourage it. Statements attribut-
ed to Premier Hughes of Australia
that separate Australian representa-
ton at the conference was blocked by
this government have no foundation
in fact, it was declared today, and
much doubt is expressed as to whether
Premier Hughes ever said anything
of the sort.

REPRESENTATIVE Sydney Anderson, OF
Minnesota, chairman Of that joint
commission of agricultural inquiry
has sent a letter to the American
Bankers Association in convention at
Los Angeles, expressing his views
concerning agricultural credits in re-
lation to the federal reserve system.
He declares that elements touching
discount policies determining agricu!-
tural credits are no different than
those determining discount policies
with respect to credit in other lines.
Discount rates in such a period -
he said. should be such as to permit
of extension of credit for production
purposes without inducing borrowing
on the part Of banks for profit ano
consequent speculative expenditure.
The factor which limits the extension
of adequate loans of necessary ere
dit IS the extension of banks in sec
tions where demand is greatest. TX.
isting machincrt is inadequate in that
it fails to provide credit Of a matur-
itv consistent with the farmers turn
over and his ability 10 pay from the
proceeds of the farm"

BIG POWER PLANT
IN BAKER COUNTY
WILL FURNISH CURRENT TO
CAMILLA, MOULTRIE AND
CAMBRIDGE.

CAMILLA, Ga.-The Baker Power
company of Newton, new corpora
ton, is building a power plant on
Kinchafoonee creek near Newton and
purposes to furnish electric current
for lights and power in the neighbor-
ing cities.
1t is understood that Camilla and
Moultrie and cambridge, as we'll as
other smaller cities, will use this cur
rent. 1t is the plan of the corporation
to furnish this current at a much low
er cost than it is being furnished by
local plants. The plant was to have
been completed by the first of March
and the current turned on, but on ac-
count OF high water and the difficulty
of obtaining material and labor the
work has been delayed and it is now
announced that it will probably be
two or three months before the new
current will be available.
The city of Camilla is under con-
tract with the new company to fur
nish light and power for the city and
it is said that a delegation from the
company met with the city council
yesterday and asked for an extension
of time on the contract. The people
of Camilla are much disappointed, as
they have been promised current at
much cheaper rate than is now being
paid.
The new company is to furnish the
city with power at a cost of 7-19
cents per kilowatt hour and it is to
be resold to the consumer.
The power company officials are
very optimistic regarding the progress
of the work on the power plant and
they say that the power plant and
power line will be speedily completed
as soon as the difficult work in the
creek bed, which has been recently
delayed on account of high water, has
been finished.

HOME FOLK BID NEW
PRESIDENT GODSPEED
THOUSANDS OF NEIGHBORS
AND FRIENDS TELL THE
HARDINGS GOODBYE.

MARION, Ohio.-The old front
porch on Mount Vernon avenue heard
many a fervent God Bless You" as
the home folk of Marion came out to
bid farewell to "Old Doc" Harding S
boy and his wife, who started at the
bottom of the ladder and now are
about to step upon the top rung.
President and Mrs. Harding, putting
all official cares behind them for a
brief time today, stood upon the his
toric front porch while their lifelong
neighbors paid them final tribute.
A silver plaque was presented in
the name of the people of Marion by
DR.. T. H. McAfee, pastor of Trinity
Baptist church, where the Hardings
worship here.
A Real Tribute.
But the real tribute was in the
thousands of warm handClasps and in
the earnest words OF "Godspeed"
which came from the neighbors as
they filed by after the presentation
ceremony.
Factories, shops, stores and homes
were locked up this morning. Thous-
andS OF farmers drove IN. scores OF
friends from Cleveland, Columbus and
other nearby cities came. Flags and
bunting decorated the streets and
buildings. There was the stirring band
music. But the final scene of the Ma
rion drama rose above the surface
demonstrations and swept all present
along on wave of feeling which re-
joicing was fixed with touch of sad
ness at having to yield up these two
neighbors whom they had known so
long.
The farewell was personal, not po-
litical. Everybody in Marion seemed
to be there. Prosperous young bus
mess men were there who got their
start carrying newspapers when Mrs.
was circulation manager of
her husbands newspaper.
In selecting those to be in the car
with him on the trip to Washington
Senator Harding has chosen only his
close relatives, including his aged
father, his brothers and sisters and an
aunt, who will witness the inaugural
ceremony

THERE'S ONLY LOVE

On the eve of his retirement from
public office Senator Hoke Smith is
sued the following statement:
about to retire from public life,
| wish my constituents to know that
with a heart full of love for them |
sincerely thank them for the many
honors they have conferred on me.
There are no words with which |
can express my intense appreciation
for the generous support they have
so often given.
Whatever difference OF opinion as
to my public work of one thing all
NAV be assured, | have never cast a
vote, nor done an official act, moved
by any influence other than All earnest
purpose to promote their welfare, and
as a private citizen | shall always re-
joice to find opportunities to still
serve them.
while the promise of my work al
ter March 4th is congenial and graft
flying, it is dimmed by the regret that
it will probably keep me away from
Georgia much of the time for several
months, but the day will be welcomed
when | may return home TO stay.
Upon his retirement from the SEN
ate Mr.. Smith will resume the prac-
tice OF law, with Offices both in At

Prisoners of Science
Are to Be Given a
Home of Their Own
Twelve Little Ones Are Suffering
From Chronic Diphtheria,
Rare Disease.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn.-Twelve
little boys and girls, held virtually
prisoners of science at the Philadel-
phia hospital for contagious disease
for periods ranging from sixteen
months to six years, will be given q
home of their own at the institution
at cost of $4,000, it was announced
today. The children are suffering from
chronic diphtheria and must be kept
at the hospital not only to protect the
public from contagion, but for their
own safety. 1t is explained that the
disease has settled in their threats, de-
stroying important tissues and muscles
provided for by nature as part of
their breathing apparatus, and that
unless hard rubber tubes are kept in
their threats the children are likely
to die of suffocation.
The boys and girls are not invalids,
however, but romp and play as other
children. Their ages vary from 2 to 10.
Cures have been known in such cas-
es, but the process is long and tedious.

FINDS LITTLE CITY
UNDER ONE ROOF
DISCOVERS HOW SOME FOLKS
GET ALONG WITHOUT UNI
BRELLAS CHECK BABIES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-What can be done
on a rainy day in the Peachtree ar
cade-a building covering whole
street in Atlanta-makes an interest
ing story, according to an Atlanta
newspaper reporter who was trying to
pick up news and keep out of the
shower.
For instance, says the reporter, who
has knack of seeing things that 9th
err folk can see but don't-which is
lust like a reporter mana person
caught in Atlanta in bad weather may
roam around the arcade and in the
course of few hours have eyeglasses
fitted, watches repaired, jewelry pol
ished, clothes pressed and hair dress
ed
He can get luncheon at one OF
three places, including the Y. w. {. A,
and while at the latter place could
write letter and in the case of a lady
or young girls could even secure bath
ing facilities while there. If it be a
mother, the baby could be checked
at the kindergarten play room for a
very small fee while they were roam
ing around under the roof that covers
a small city.
Mention may be made also, says
the reporter, of the opportunity tc
write letters or copy for his newspa-
per in the Y. w. c. A., at desks in
the central branch of the Atlanta post
office or dictate to stenographers in
the multigraphing parlors or several
other rooms where public stenograph-
ers are located
Local and long distance telephones
city directory, time tables and all sorts
of travelling information can be secur-
ed in another part of the structure
which covers block.
So says the reporter, why get
wet" He invested his last loose
change in cigarettes, under the same
roof, and by the time he reached the
world outside the sun was shining.
