DEMOCRATS FIGHT
FOR REDUCTION OF
INCOME TAX RATES
DEMAND THAT SCHEDULE BE
CUT IN HALF AND THAT MEN
AND WOMEN IN SMALL SALA.
RED CLASSES BE GIVEN RE.
LIEF.

Washington, Sept. ga fight for
reduction Of taxes on incomes OF
$4,000 and less was launched by Dem
ocratic members of the senate finance
committee Thursday.
Amendments to the committees tax
revision bill were introduced Jointly
by Senators Walsh OF Massachusetts,
and Gerry of Rhode Island. The
amendments would reduce the normal
tax to 2 per cent on incomes of less
than $4,000, instead of the present 4
per cent on $4,000 in the committee
bill Taxpayers whose not income is
between $1,000 and $4,000 would pay
a normal tax of per cent on the ex-
cess over $4,000, instead Of s per cent
on over $4,000. and taxpayers whose
income is between $4,000 and $4,000
would pay a normal tax Of G per cent
on the exces over 10000, instead of
per cent on over $4,000.
All incomes over $4,000 would con-
tinue to pay normal tax OF S per
cent and the surtaX schedules con
tanned in the committee bill would be
unchanged.
After denouncing the Republican
tax bill and explaining the proposed
amendments the Democrats said the
would introduce an amendment for a
graduated income tax of from 10 to
20 per cent on corporations. This, the
statement asserted, would reduce
taxes for small corporations and in
crease taxes on corporations with
large incomes.
Chairman Penrosc, chairman of the
committee. was again unable to get
the tax bill before the senate. After
Senator Sterling of South Dakota had
moved to take up the anti-beer bill,
Senator Penrose offered a substitute
motion to have the tax bill considered
The motion was ruled out of order,
and the senate voted to take up the

Gen. Frederick Funston.
4 year before this first Galveston
food a food In the BrazoS valley In
Texas caused hundreds of thousands
of dollars in damage and serious loss
of life. This food was followed by the
bursting Of dam ut Austin the next
year costing S10o000O damage and
serious loss Of life. In the same year
n series of floods In the Colorado
river valley caused heavy loss of
life and property damage.
In the floods in Ohio and Indiana In
1913 the city hardest hit was Dayton,
where a first estimate placed the dead
ut 1000 and the property loss at $loO-
900 900. When AL the figures We're
gathered after the flood, however, it
was learned that the list of dead was
1872 and the property loss $50, 1000
for the two states. More than G0,Oc0
buildings were flooded.
This disaster in Ohio called forth
great relief efforts on the part Of the
Red Cross and many other agencies
and cities. Much of this work Of re-
lief was directed from Columbus by
Governor James NJ Cox.
Texas again was visited by series
of floods in the Brazos and other val
leys in 1913 and about 500 lives were
lost. The loss in this food in towns
in Central and Eastern Texas was estl-
mated at more than SJ0000,O0O. The
cause was torrental rains,
In 1915 Galveston was revisited by a
hurricane and inundating seas from
the Gulf of Mexico and the death LIST
was placed at 300. The property loss
was put at $5,OOO0OO The city this
time was saved from greater damage
by it's huge sea wall which had been
built after the 1900 storm to protect
the city against similar catastrophe.
The seas were so high at times that
they swept over this wall.

Olive Trees Enemies.

Besides the birds, there are numer-
Gus insects which attack the fruit,
the wood and the leaves Of the olive
tree. The most dreaded Of these is
n small fly called DaCus eleae, which
IS about half the size of a common
house fly. The female has a sting
like a wasp with which she punctures
the fruit where she deposits her eggs.
It Is calculated that single fly will
thus destroy 300 or 400 olives.
