Collection of Excess Charge Will Cease
 With 1921 Payment.

Washington. Oct. 26.-Repeal of the excess profits tax as of next January 1 was made certain today with the adoption by the Senate, without a record vote, of provision in the tax revision bill providing only for it's collection this calendar year. The provision is a substitute for the excess profits section of the for the excess porfits section of the existing law.
 Before accepting the original pro- vision in the bill, the Senate voted down, 42 to 31, an amendment by Senator Reed proposing that for 1921 and thereafter the excess profits tax be 20 per cent on the net income of corporations, between 15 per cent and 50 per cent on the invested capital, and 40 per cent on the net income in excess of 50 per cent. Six Repub- licans joined with the solid Demo- cratic minority in supporting this amendment. They were: Borah, Johnson, Keyon, La Toilette, Nor beck and Morris,
 The Senate also voted down, 42 to 33, another amendment by Senator Reed proposing that the excess prof its tax be 20 per cent of the net income in excess of 50 per cent of the invested capital. Eight Repub- licans-Borah, 'Capper, Johnson. Ken yon, La Toilette, McNary, Norbeck and Morris-supported this amend ment and one Democrat, Glass, op- posed it.
 Rapid Work Promised.
 Having disposed of the excess profits section of the bill the Senate proceeded to consideration of the corporation income tax section un- der a unanimous consent agreement that it would dispose of tomorrow all amendments to this section eX- Cept that offered by Senator Walsh Democrat Massachusetts The Walsh amendment proposes, in lieu of the 15 per cent income tax on corpora tions recommended by the Finance Committee, a graduated tax as fol lows:
 Twelve and one-half per cent or the net income up to s10o,OOo; 15 per cent between $1OO,OOO and $3OO,- 900; 20 per cent between $3O0,O00 and $500,000, and 25 per cent on the amount in excess of $500,000.

called 'The Orioles" for no reason
whatever. The two friends had
talked of their plan at many meetings
throughout the summer, and when Her
bert's great-uncle, Mr.. Joseph At
water, made his nephew the mex

a newspaper consequently took the
place of the club, Herbert and Henry
still entertained an affe ction for their
former scheme and decided to perpet-
uate the name. They were the more
sensitive to attack upon it by an ig-
nOrant outsider and girl like Florence,
and her chance of ingratiating her
self with them, If that could be now
her intention, was not promising.
1t would be inaccurate to speak of
her as hoping to placate them, how
ever; her mood vas inscrutable. She
descended from the fence with pro-
nounced inelegance, and, approaching
the old double doors of the Carriage
house," which were open, paused to
listen. Sounds from above assured
her hat the editors were editing-or
at least that they could be found at
their place Of business. Therefore,
she assembled the cobwebby stairway
to the loft, and made her appearance
in the printing room of the North End

1t Was, in a sense, an original poem !;
though, like the greater number of all
literary offerings, it was so strongly
~inspirational that the source of its
inspiration might easily become mani
fest to a cOld-blOoded reader. Never
theless, to the poeteSs herself, as she
explained later in good faith, the words
just seemed to come to her-doubtless
with either genius or some form of
miracle involved; for sources of in
SEPARATION are seldom recognized by in
Spired writer's themselves. She had
not long ago been party to a musical
Sunday afternoon at her great-unCle

baritone, sang some Of his songs over
and over again, as long as the re-
quests for them held out. Florence'S

strangely clean and smooth fair-haired
appearance, for his age. She looked
him over.
His profile was Of a symmetry he
had not himself yet begun to appre-
Ciate; his dress was scrupulOus and
modish; and though he was short
nothing outward about him explained
the more sinister of .Florence's two
adjectives. Yet. she had true occasion
for it, because on the day before she
began its long observance he had made
her uneasy lest an orange seed she
had swallowed should take root and
grow up within her to a size inevi-
tably fatal. Then, with her cousin
Herbert's stern assistance, Florence
had realized that her gullibility- was
not to be expected in anybody over
seven years old, after which age such
legends are supposed to be encoun-
tered with the derision of experienced
people.
Her fas%tidiousness aroused, she de-
cided that Henry Rooter had no bust
ness to be talking about what would
happen to her insides, anyhow; and so
informed him at their next meeting,
adding an explanation which absolute
ly proved him to be no gentleman.
And her opinion Of him was still per-
fectly plain In her expression as she
made her present intrusion upon his
working hours. He seemed to re-
| ciprocate.
Here! Didn't / and Herbert tell
you to keep out o here?" he demand
ed, even before Florence had devel-
oped the slightest form of greeting.
"LOOk at her, Herbert! She's back
again !"

said Herbert, abandoning his task
with a look of pain. "How often we

quered in 1893 by Juan de Onate and

forced to work the mines and pay

and Santa Fe was founded about 1905.
Except for a period of ten years

became a province of Mexico. Thus
it remained until the outbreak of the
Mexican war, when in 1916 Colonel
Kearny marched from Fort Leaven-
worth with his troops, occupied Santa
Fe and declared this region a part of
the United States. By the Treaty with
Mexico in 1913, the upper part of the
state was formally coded to the United
States and the Territory of Mexico
was organized in 1850, which reached
from Texas to California. Arizona
was set off from New Mexico in 1868
and a few years later a portion was
contributed to Colorado. Application
for admission as a state started in
1850, but it was not until 1912 that
New Mexico became the forty-seventh

New Mexico ranks fourth in size
