Congress M ay Reduce
Transportation Levies
so Per Cent
SODA AND ICE CREAM
TAXES TO BE ENDED
Passenger a n d Freight
Levies Are to Be Cut
Down

Washington, D. c., Aug. 9.-Havine
agreed to the elimination of the soda
fountain, ice cream and so-called lux
ury taxes on wearing apparel and to
80 per cent cut in the levy on sport
ing goods, Republican members of the
WAYS and means committee returned
to-day to the job of revenue revision
determined to make further reductions
in the total tax the American people
wilr be called upon to pay this fiscal
year.
A so per cent cut in the transporta
tion levies, both passengers and freight,
was declared to be practically a Ger
tainty. Those members who hereto
fore have urged to press their point
with the argument that this could be
done readily if repeal of the excess
profits and higher surtaxes is delayed
until next January /, as is now pro-
posed
The total loss OF revenue involved in
cutting off the transportation taxes
was estimated at $500, 100000, or less,
il was claimed than the loss that
would be entailed this year through
making the repeal of the excess profits
and higher income surtaxes retroactive
to last January /. 1t also was urged
that the cutting off of the levies on
freight and passenger traffic would
prove Of real help to business through
savings in freight charges and in ex-
penses of travelling statesmen.
Formal agreement among the major
ity members as to the total that. will
be absolutely necessary to run the gov
been reached and it was said that fur
ther specific tax cuts might await such
an agreement. There also was talk of
conferences with President Harding to
obtain his advice in the solution Of
the major problems before the com
mittee.
Having been excluded from partici-
patton in the framing Of the bill, Dem
ocratie members of the committee are
giving independent study TO the revi
sion question. Representative kitehin,
he Democratic ieader, is detained at
his home in North Carolina by illness.
Representative Carney of Texas, the
ranking Democrat on the committee in
he absence of Mr.. Kitchin, came out
iatly to-day for full repeal of the
transportation taxes and the so-ealled |
nuisance taxes, including the ten per
,ent tax on bottle soft drinks, and |
against new or increased taxes sug-
rested by Secretary Mellon.
The Texas member also is of the
opinion that a much greater return can
,e had from back taxes than the treas
Try has estimated. He thinks that in

dellon's statement to the committee.

GERMANY AND
POLAND WILL
ACCEPT 1T
The New Line Is Said to
Follow In a Degree the
Vote Taken in the Plebi-
cite-DivisiOn Splits the
Industrial Area of That
Section

Paris, Aug 0 (By the Associated
Press Premier BRAND and Lloy'
George have decided at a private meet
ing upon a compromise partition o
upper Silesia, it was declared here to
day on good authority.
The compromise boundary line is un
derstood to have been drawn approx
mately as follows:
Beginning west of Pless on the Wis
tula river and running west of Glai
witz, west of Lost and Gross -Strehlitz
north between Rosenberg and kreuz
berg, and thence to the frontier OF
northern upper Silesia.
This line, while by no means a
straight one, approximately bisects
the Silesian plebescite area.
The reputed agreement must be for
mally ratified by the supreme council
and the possibility of this action at
the late afternoon session to-day was
forecast. At this time the geographi
cal experts of the French, British and
Italian delegations, who were engaged
in the early afternoon hours in con-
sidering the precise marking of the
line, were expected to have ready the
reports they had been instructed to
make.
1t was upon the private settlement
being reached, it is understood, that
the council decided not to send rein
forcements TO upper Silesia at present,
the British and Italian representatives
voting against France.
The belief was expressed that both
Germany and Poland would accept the
councils decision.
Mr. Lloyd George informed the coun-
Gil Of the line the British were now
willing to accept and the experts were
instructed to allocate to one side or the
other certain townships remaining in
dispute.
The new line is accepted in principle
ms more nearly representing the real
meaning of the plebiscite vote than
anything previously proposed.
The decision also splits the disputed
industrial district.
At the opening of the session Pre-
mier Lloyd George stated the position
OF the British government upon what
he called the menacing problem TO the
peace of Europe. Silesia, he said, had
belonged to the German race for 700
years-a part of that period to Aus
tria but for III TO Prussis-snd the
British government would not consent
10 any division not based equitably
upon the votes of the Poles and the
Germans in the disputed region.
Discussing the future security of
France, the British prime minister said
In substance that the British govern
ment keenly sympsthized with the
French desire for safety, knowing what
France had suffered in two wars. That
security, however, he declared, ought to
rest upon the moderation with which
the victors used their power, and upon
equity in apportioning Silesia. The |
British empire, the prime minister de-
clared, would never be dragged into an
ether war caused by the oppressive use
Of superior force or the abuse of jus, |
tice in a time of triumph

Many American shale deposits are
richer in recoverable oil than
Scotch shales now being worked, and
