TO EXEMPT $500
ON HUSBANDS TAX
Committee Urges Further Cut
Of $500 From Taxable In
come OF Married Men.

Washington.-Steps were taken By
Republican members Of the ways and
means committee to relieve married
persons from q portion Of their tax
burdens.
An amendment was adopted raising
the exemption from $1,000, under ex.
isting law. TO $500. effective prob
ably ms Of January 1. 1921, for mar
rled persons where the salary does not
exceed $1,000. No change was made In
the exemption for single persons, which
is now 81 600.
Representative LongwOrth (Rep., O.l
was the author of the amendment.
Under an amendment previously an
nounced q deduction may be made of
800 for each child. This was an In
crease from 500 under existing law.
MesEet VI aJtdlf sEfafy 0Sefofe tax Z paid win
be $4,000 IL these changes become ef-
fective.
The enlarged exemptions WIN cause
total loss Of $50, 600 600 In revenue.
With these and numerous minor
changes the committee virtually com.
pleted the tax bin.
The committee struck out section
9O4 Of the bin which places q 10 per
cent tax on many commodities and dis
cussed placing on the articles affected
manufacturers tax Of 3 per- cent.
The change would eliminate the plan
OF existing law under which the re-
taller adds the tax.
Among the articles changed are /:
Hats I'm excess OF $5 and caps In ex-
cess Of 81; neckwear In excess OF "a
each: shirts In excess OF 50 each: nm
derwear In excess Of S.
The proposed substitute wou2l ap.
ply oa the value above amounts to be
fixed. The numheK Of articles will
probably be enlarged. The taxea
would yield $1O0,OOO.OO0 instead ol
| S''0.O0O OG0 as now.

ARKANSAS CITY. Kan, March
24:-The case of Mrs. Luella Mon
cravie ended in the courts about the
same time that Mrs. Clara Smith
Hamon was acquitted of the murder
of Jake l.. Hamon.
Mrs. Moncravie was convicted of
fourth degree homicide for the
shooting of her husband, Henry E..
Moncravie, rich Usage Indian. She
was pardoned after serving two
weeks. The points of similarity in
the Hamon and Moncravie cases are
these:
Both men said before they died
that they shot themselves.
Both women admitted that they
fred the fatal shots when the men
were about to attack them with a
chair.
Both women alleged that the men
were drunk when making the at
tacks.
The decision that takes the Mon
cravie case out of the courts comes
from the supreme court. 1t allows
Mrs. Moncravie one-half of his
estate of more than 100000.
This followed a ruling involving
the Kansas law that person can
not participate in the estate of one
he is convicted of killing.

NEW YORK, March 24:-"Amer-
icanization of immigrants at Ellis
Island is joke" says Allen T.
Burns, director of the Americaniza-
ton study of the Carnegie Founda-
ton.
Ellis Island cannot be painted
in too black colors," says Mrs. Harry
NJ. Bremmer, executive secretary of
the Divisional Work of the Foreign
Born under the Y. w. C. A. here.
These statements followed
movement headed by New York
welfare workers and municipal
health authorities to have Frederick
Wallis ousted as commissioner of
immigration at the island and be-
cause of insanitary and dangerous
conditions there.
Failure of our Americanization
system has its root at the island.
Impartial investigation points to
lack of money as responsible in a
large measure for the breakdown.
Lack Understanding
But the biggest reason is lack of
human understanding.
This is what Burns says after
months of study of Americanization
1--WE talk glibly about Americana
ing the immigrant. But we don't
do anything. We throw handicaps
in his way on our very doorstep.
America might as well face the
truth. We treat the immigrant like
an inferior-sometimes like an ami
NAL. The melting pot doesn't melt.
Uncle Sam stands on his doorstep
and gives the immigrant the cold
shoulder. And he sneers at him af-
terwards-for America does not as
