Washington. Oct c.--The senate
tax snarl was placed before Presi.
dent Harding today by Senator
Lodge.
Senator Lodge went into confer
ence with the president this morning
and remained closeted with the chief
executive for hour. II Is under
stood that Senator Lodge indicated
to the president thaf some action
by him may be n. .afY TO pre-
vent n coalition OF democrats and
republicans on the question OF tax
revision.
Meantime groups in the SENATE
went forward with conferences on
the whole subject and opponents OF
the pending measure continued their
assaults. The Democrats on the H.
nance committee put in their minor
ity report. in which they declared
that the bill neither fulfills tle
promise of the republican party Tor
n simpliflcation Of tax law and pro
cedure nor satisfies the demand o.
the democratic party for com
plete survey Of existing taxes and
their modification.
Lafollette Joins Minority.
Senator Lafollette of Wisconsin, n
republican member of the finance
committee. also filed a minority
view. declaring that he was in gen
eral accord with the democratic re-
mort insofar as It criticized the pro.
posals of the majority to reduce the
super-taxes upon large individual in
comes. to repeal the excess profits
tax and the capital stock tax.
"There Is nothing to be gained by
the forced and inconsiderate enact
ment OF the present BILL said the
minority report. "The bill affords no
relief to the country. There will be
no reduction effective during this
calendar year, nine months after the
advent to full power of the party
which promised immediate reliel
from oppressive war taxes Pracll
cally every change in the rates OF
repeal OF present taxes is postponed
until Jan. /, 1922. and are to be ac
complished through promised cuts IL

majority seems to have been Ger
tered upon tho exemption of mi
lonaires from the higher sur ~<es
and the exemption Of corporate II
terests and monopolies from the pa!
ment of proper taxes upon inordinat

purpose the committee has divide

been found to complain that her rep
ertory is limited or her style monot.
onous. She is lesson to those who
have believed that in order to succeed
at home our girls should study
abroad, perhaps take foreign names,
ana come back with European rep
u'ation and a repertory of three or
TOUR foreign languages. Jessie Mas
ters was born in Warren, Ohio, and
from the first her ambition-and
none could be highcr-has been 10
become singer Of English songs.
Her chosen field is the concert stage ::
she does not aspire to the operate.
She believes that the love she has for
the simple American music can best
be made understandable to others by
the intimate contact Of the concert
or recital, and her remarkable sue
cess wherever she sings bears out her
contention that American audiences
love best the songs they understand
and enjoy.
Nor is Miss Masters appeal only
that of her repertory. Blessed with
rich, mellow contralto voice, she
has never been easily satisfied as to
its production. She has worked con-
scicntiously, her own harshest critic.
until, with the constant cooperation
of Albert w. Harmed, her teacher,
adviser and warm personal friend,
she has arrived at the point where
voice, enunciation and method blend
together in beautiful whole.
Arthur Leslie, the celebrated Eng
hsh tenor, idol in London's Covent
Garden, called Miss Masters ",he
most perfect product of a contraIto
voice in America" Others bave
called her easily thesgreatcst Amer.
can contralto.
10 American music-lovers, whether
they themselves arc singers or mps;-
clans, or merely the general mass of
people who must be content with hear
ing beauty in the voice or playing Of
others, Miss Masters is an inspiration
for she proves that America can pro.
duce an artist in every sense of the
word, and one who docs not turn her
back OH her own country but rather
brings to all its many people the mu-
Sic that they themselves have had a
part in creating.

crowds lined the avenue and cheered
the singing procession. Only Ameri-

Bryan addressed the marchers. urging
them to use all their forces to bring
about world peace through disarma-
ment. Unless there is disarmament.

paid tribute to both Houses of Con-
gress for their efforts to bring a con-
ference TO discuss disarmament.
He pleaded for America TO call upon
the rest of the Christian nations OF
the world to disarm, If an attempt
to get disarmament by agreement
failed.
Referring to tho local independence
Day parade OF anti-prohibitionists, he
said: IF those people who carried
empty bottles in that parade had

Before his address. Mr.. Bryan told
newspaper men that "if there was
any question about prohibition, IL

the anti-prihibition parade.

gather together more than IA per
cent of the number of people the
Democratic party can corral at any
time"
Colorado was given the honor of
heading the parade; Utah. Arizona and
other Western delegations followed.
