STATE CHARITIES HEAD AND LOCAL SECRETARY
URGE more INTEREST IN SOCIAL SERVICE WORK

Greater activity for the Social Sery-
ice bureau during the coming year will
be necessary because of the social IN
rest and unsettled industrial condi-
tions existing in this city as well as
throughout the country, according to
the report of Miss Ethel Clark, secre-
tary of the Richmond bureau in her
report at the annual meeting of the
bureau Friday night
What the coming months will bring
forth no one can foretell, but assured
ly ever greater opportunities for serv-
ice lie before us in safe-g guarding hui
man life Miss Clark stated.
The people of Richmond simply do
not know their own city and its needs.
They do not know how the other half
lives. The bureau needs more friends,
more interest in these needs more
best thought and consideration OF
those who can look beyond the prob
lens of relieving the ever present dis
tress of today to the ways and means
of preventing its continuation" Miss
Clark said in her report. There are
no bigger-hearted people to be found
anywhere than in the city of Rich

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Bishop
Manning has ruled that no clergyman
of the Protestant Episcopal church
may perform a marriage ceremony for
the Rev DIR. Percy Stickney Grant,

Before the engagement was an

ed from this position, it is declared.
DR.. Grants vestrymen are not in

its plans for next years congressional
contests. A third of the membership
of the senate is to be elected and

and lesser politicians will find plenty
of time to discuss prospective candi'
dates and policies in the 1924 presi.

William G. McAdoo is regarded an
active entrant in the race for the
next Democratic presidential nomina
ton and it is believed that Mr.. Cox
again will enter. the contest.

tion have been very busy this summer

SENATE HEARS SMOOT
ON SALES TAX PLAN,
CALDER ON Beer TAX
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept II. - Having
practically completed revision of the
house tax bill. the senate finance COM
mittee was ready today to receive
Senator Smoot's proposal for a manu-
facturers' sales tax and Senator Cald-
er's plan to tax 2.75 per cent beer at
the rate of $5 barrel.
The sales tax is embodied in a bill
which Senator Smoot had given notice
he would offer to the committee today
as a substitute for the revised house
measure. Under the Utah senator's
Plan all internal revenue would be OBJ
tanned from five sources: Incomes of
individuals and corporations; estate
taxes, tobacco taxes, and a three per
cent levy on manufacturers sales.
Senator Smoot estimates that these
taxes would yield $2,sS0, 100000 an
nually and that this sum with the
amounts received from the tariff,
through collection of back taxes and
from salvage and miscellaneous sour
ces would be sufficient to meet the
governments revenue needs for this
and succeeding years.
See Rejection Ahead.
The general opinion at the capitol
seemed to be that the committee would
reject Mr.. Smoot's bill. In that event
the senator expected to bring it forth
in the senate as a substitute when the
house bill is under consideration His
proposals has been endorsed by q
number of manufacturers associations
and is looked upon by favor by some
Republican leaders, who however, have
| indicated that they did not deem this
| the proper time to consider
Senator Calder's beer proposal ha!
| drawn fire from the Anti-Saloor
! league, which has announced, through
! its general counsel, Wayne B. Wheel
er, that it would be strongly opposed
! by the prohibition forces.
Catch Up Loose Ends
Only a few loose ends of the revi
sion of the house bill remained to b.
caught up today by the senate com
mittee. Revision of the levy provi
sions of the house bill as previousl,
agreed upon were expected to stand
The committee, however, had decided
to delay final vote until next Wed
nesday after the legislative and treas
ury experts had completed the actua
drafting of the measure.
| Democratic members are expected
to vote solidly against the bill and t,
carry their fight to the senate floor
Their fire will be directed chiefl,
against the provisions repeating tn,
excess profits tax and reducing tn
income surtax brackets to maximum
of 81 per cent. . ....
