NEW MEMBERS JOIN K|WAN|S AT WEEKLY LUNCHEON MEETING

The reception of three new mem bers of the club and a personal ac- count by all the members of their first jobs and their first ambitions featured the regular weekly meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday. The meeting was largely attended and was one of the most interesting of the summer.
 The bread-and- milk table, arranged for members who are used to par taking of light lunch at noon. was in evidence for the first time yes terday, and despite the fact that sev- eral husky kiwanians were seated at it by mistake it promises to be a well come innovation for many club mem- bers.
 The new members received yester- day were E. A. Mcdonald, who was introduced by Earl Drake; F. S. Clark, introduced by Vernon Clark, and Milton A. Smith, introduced by Press Bancroft. The new additions responded in brief addresses. that of T. $. Clark being particularly apt and amusing.
 Yves knorpp, business manager of The Republican, opened a box of ci gars Tn celebrating the birth of a baby girl, and Donald Dunbar, who won baby carriage some time ago when the birth of a baby girl in his family broke a long string of births of boys, made a little talk, after which Leigh Ford, who declared on taking the gavel that he was the best chairman the club had seen for months, took over the direction of the meeting as chairman of the day.
 The attendance prize, case of canned goods given by Tasso Coe, was won by E. A. Mcdonald, one of the new members.
 Following the drawing of the at tendance prize Chairman Ford called upon the members of the club for re- miniscences of their first jobs and their first ambitions. This feature of the meeting was very entertaining. and brought round after, round of laughter as the members told of the first money they had earned and the various aspects which the future had for them when they were boys.
 The meeting was brought to a close by A. J. Kisselburgh's singing of Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," accompanied by Leo Weaver at the piano. The guests of the club yesterday were Percy Perkins. Phoe- nix; F. NJ. Pool. Winkelman; I. A. Hawley. Bisbee: R. R. Gosnell, Los Angeles, Tuffy Enyeart, Grand Forks N. D.; l.. A. Weiss, Phoenix. and R w. Fowler, Tucson.

British Council
 Considers Irish
 Situation Grave
Republican A. p. Leased WIre]

LONDON, Sept. 6.-Lord Birlhead, lord high chancellor, and six other ministers are travelling TOO miles to- night to join the premier and the rest of the cabinet, Viscount f1tz- alan, Irish viceroy, and General Sir Nevil MacReady, commander of the troops in Ireland, in what may prove a most critical council meeting con- corning the fate of Ireland. Earl Curzon, secretary for foreign affairs, was indisposed and unable to go.
 Never before have the ministers been called upon to take such jour ney to attend a council under such unusual circumstances. Because or the presence near Inverness in ad- vance of Viscount Fitzalan, Sir Ha- mar Greenwood, chief secretary Tor Ireland, Winston Spencer Churchill. secretary for the colonies, and Gen. eral MacReady, there have been ru- rnors Of informal discussions tend ing to the idea that the time had ar rived to end the protracted negotia- tions. Nothing is positively known, however, but there is good ground to believe many cabinet members ia vor placing a. time limit on negotia- tions. It is likely results will depend upon the decision of the premier, and the general impression is that ne strongly opposes any precipitate breaking of negotiations.
 Whether Eamonn de Valera's deci- sion today to unbosom himself to the press was due to the idea that he might influence the premier to pre- vent premature breaking off Of the negotiations was the subject of spec ulation here.

IF EXCESS PROFIT TAX MAY BE MADE RETROACTIVE
 TOLAST JANUARY 1
[RepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIrel

WASHlNGTON, Sept. 6.-There Is a growing sentiment in the senate finance committee to make repeal of the excess profits tax retroactive to last January 1, instead of effective next January l, as provided for in the house revenue bill, Chairman Penrose said today in announcing that the committee expected to com plete tomorrow preliminary consid- eration of the house measure.
 It is understood Secretary Mellon will suggest retroactive repeal when he appears before the committee to- morrow to submit statement as to future government money needs. Such repeal was provided for in the tax bill as drawn by the house ways and means committee. but Republi- can members of the house voted in conference to postpone the date to January 1, 1922.
 z Members of the senate committee are understood to hold that the Re publican party promised to repeal this tax immediately and that this is settled pledge in the public mind The position was taken by most Re publican members of the house com mittee, but western representatives led a successful fight for retention of the tax for this year.
 Treasury experts have estimated retroactive repeal of this levy would cut $45O,000,000 from the revenue in the next year. making the income on the basis of the house bill s2,540, ,000,- O00 for 1922. The house committed also proposed retroactive repeal of parts In excess of 32 per cent esti- mated to cut an additional $90, ,00O, ,00C from the revenue
 A new feature In revenue 1egisla- ton under consideration by the sen ate committee would make possible speedy refunding of taxes improper iy paid Treasury experts have been asked to draft such a provision Chairman Penrose said.
 Other matters considered today by the committee included house pro- visions for taxing insurance compa- nies; administrative provisions ot the income tax; repeal of the trans portation taxes and an additional tax Of $4.20 on alcoholic liquors with drawn for non beverage purpose. and devoted to beverage use. So fal as was made known, no formal de. clsion was reached on any of thes, features.
 After hearing Secretary Mellon tn, committee expects to get down tC the work of drafting a bill for pres ehtatlon after congress reconvene. september 21. The house measur, Is to be rewritten but to what exten 1 changes in the levies will be altered remains to be decided.
