President obregon. Of Mexico, sis

"I consider that the profit sharing

just. as It only benefits a limited group
of workmen, that Is, the workmen In

may call the Industrial workmen.
Laws must never be issued for the

AUTO-BOAT TRAVELS
ON LAND OR OCEAN
Frenchman's Invention Com
bines Capabilities Of Automo-
bile, Cutter, and Submarine. Z

A boat which will travel on land
and under as well as on sea has been
invented by Leon Foenquinos, an
engineer of Marseilles. France, accord
ing to dispatches from that country. 2
M. Foenquinos, who hitherto had
to these dispatches, recently gave q
demonstration of his unique craft by
which he proved that It was possible
for It to travel on land or water with
equal facility. 1t is even possible for
this remarkable boat, which the In.
ventor calls La France" to go under
water, submerging and emerging with
out apparent difficulty.
In appearance the craft resembles
an omnibus in its superstructure and
q tank in its chassis. When 1t reaches
the bank Of stream or lake It slow
ly enters the water, following the de-
clivity Of the land. 1t then rights
itself and floats on the surface OF the
water. its many glass windows only
Icing visible so that II then looks like
q cutter made Of glass. In leaving the
water. Il Is able to climb UP a bank
and reach dry land.
Because Of its ability to travel sub
merged, II Is thought the boat will
prove valuable in salvaging wrecks.
It's use in transportation In inundated
regions IL held to be established by
those who witnessed the demonstra-
tion, as well as its adaptability for
farming areas where there are many
lakes and streams.
Its inventor claims its possibilities
In war are gigantic and he has plans
for great war vessels which will be
able to do all that LA France"
demonstrated. although he says he
hopes his invention will be developed

No relief from the gross amount
OF taxation imposed upon the Ameri-
can people by the world war appears
In sight.
Administration leaders and Repub-
ncan members Of the Senate Finance
Committee are still wrestling with
the knotty problem Of how to readJust
the nations tax burdens and at the
same time provide for the Govsrn-
ment's obligations and running ex.
penses for the current fiscal year.
which Secretary Mellon estimates VIII
total more than $4,000, 100000.
Increase Likely.
Republican Senators admitted that
there seemed to be more prospect OF
taxes generally going up instead OF
coming down. Several OF them pre-
dicted that Mellon will appear before
the Senate Finance Committee Thurs
day with the Administration tax plan,
which the House rejected. and insist
upon its acceptance by Congress. /.
Senator Penrose Republicanl OF
man, announced that Mellon will pre-
sent carefully prepared statement Of
the taxation and financial situation
confronting the Administration, and
Republican Senators who have dis
cussed the situation with Mellon lately
expressed the belief that the Secretary
will renew his plea for far more reve-
nue. that the House tax bill provided.
Having definitely rejected the House
bill. the Senate Finance Committee 10
planning to write a new one based
upon Melons estimated $4,000 ,000..
900 for the Governments financial re-
quirements. Members Of the commit.
tee said that at least $1,000, 900 900
will be added to the $2,644, ,000, 900 the
House measure was intended to raise.

The Scent postage stamp, the con.
sumption and other forms OF taxation
Mellon urged unsuccessfully upon the
House Ways and Means COMMITTEES
are expected to be advocated again by
him when he appears before the SEN
ate Finance Committee. The Mellon
plan is regarded as likely to be
accepted by Senator Penrose and his
Republican colleagues who control the
committee, whatever may be its fate
in the Senate itself.
The committee again devoted sew
eral hours yesterday to discussing vari-
Gus provisions of the House bill with
DIR. T. 8. Adams. a Treasury expert.
with whose views of the tax situa-
ton several Of It's members were
reported to be In complete disagree
ment. An adjournment was finally
taken over today and tomorrow,
