H,1DDODIDlO TAX
BASIS Of REVISION
Senate Committee Begins Al
teration of House Bill to
n Meet Needs
PENRoSE CALLS FOR ACTION
BY the Associated Press

Washington, Sept. 10.--Revision Of
the House Tax Bill on basis of Gov
ernment needs of 1900, 100000 from
internal revenue this fiscal year, has
begun today by the Senate Finance
Committee. The measure was taken
up section by section, the committee
having failed yesterday to agree on the
high points.
Developments yesterday led to a
general belief ut the Capitol that the
committee would not have entirely
smooth sailing. but Chairman Penrose
still is hopeful that the measure can
be completed by the time Congress re-
convenes, one week from next Wednes-
day. 1t is his desire TO cut down dis
cussion and get to action.
As was the case in the House, the
principal points of disagreement are
retroactive repeal of the excess profits
tax and a reduction of the income sur
taxes. Although still holding that ma 4.
jority, sentiment is drifting toward
retroactive removal of the profits tax,
Republican leaders are not SO optimistic
on this point as they were n day or
two ago.
Democrats in the committee will
present solid front against these two
proposals. according to Senator Sim
mons. of North Carolina, ranking
minority member, and they are count =
ing on support from some Republicans.
IL they lose their fight in the com
mittee they will carry it to the Senate
floor.
Besides passing the six changes in
the House bill proposed by Secretary
Mellon, the Senate committee expects
70 have before it n number of other
tax policies, including the sales tax plan
of Senator Smoot, Of Utah. and the
suggested tax by Senator Calder, OF
New York. on 2.75 per cent beer and
alcoholic liquors diverted to beverage
purposes.

She Faces Further Charges

Saturday Proclaimed
Ceastitation7sDay
In South Dakota

Pierre. s. D., Sept. 14.-By execu-
tive proclamation, Saturday, Septem-
Der II, has been designated by Gov
ernor w. H. McMaster as Constitution
day in South Dakota Governor Nc
Masters proclamation is In line with
similar actions OF the governors of
many other states who have also
named September II as the day for
commemorating. the constitutional
convention Of 1887.
The governors proclamation fol-
lows:
ION September II, 1887, represen-
tatives of the then thirteen states of
America, having come together in
convention, adopted and submitted to
their, several states for. approval or
rejection, a document designated as
the Constitution of the United States.
It was later ratified by the required
number of states and on April 80.
1889, with the inauguration Of George
Washington, it became reflective.
This document since that time has
freedom and happiness for a larger
number OF people than any other
form OF government. It's principles
are enduring because they are of
equity and justice, and nations find
permanent success only when their
activities and policies originate IN
sound principle.
However, in the course Of years,
a need has developed for a more
thorough understanding Of an more
intimate acquaintance with our fed
eral constitution. The things we have
believed in we have not taught, bur
have rather taken it for granted that
our children would learn by intuition:
that newcomers among us would jusr
naturally understand.
TN order to assist in bringing about
a closer relation-between people
and the constitution. Saturday, Sep
tember II, 1921, is hereby designated
and set apart as Constitution day. and
I urge upon u people its observance.
Much good can be accomplished in
the schools by appropriate exercises.
also in the pulpit and through the
press by emphasizing the importance
Of the document and the imperative
necessity of a. knowledge Of its virtue.
