New Tax Opposed
BySewardC ofC.
Resolution Objecting to Spe.
cial Legislative Session
Sent to Governor.

Seward Neb., Dec. 24,-[Sp,~
cial. .)-Declaring that both farm a. b
commercial interests of the state are
seriously embarrassed to meet their
financial obligations, due to low
prices and heavy taxation, the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce has ad-
dressed a resolution to Governor
McKelvie protesting against the pro-
posed special session of the legisla-
ture to "add another tax to our al
ready over-burdened taxpayers"
The resolution reads in part:
"The expense entailed in calling
the extra session of the legislature
is greater than the saving to the
taxpayer proposed in your 5 per cent
reduction in the salaries of the
states employees whose present sal
aries are not excessive, based on the
present cost of living.
1--WE furthermore consider this TN
warranted act in calling special ses-
sion decidedly undemocratic in view
Of the fact that you have made no
effort to ascertain public sentiment
on the need of special session. Your
action lends credit to our belief that
the proposed gasoline tax and the
proposed cut in salaries is mere
camouflage to conceal the real mo-
tive to revive funds which are now
not available for the building of the
new CAPITOL"

United States
Plans to Limit
Undersea Boats
American Program for Limita-
ton Of Submarine Tonnage
-, Presented to Naval
N Committee.

Washington, Dec. 24-(By A. P)
An American program for limlta-
ton OF submarine tonnage was pre-
sented today to the naval armament
committee Of five powers OF the
Washington conference.
The American program proposes a
submarine tonnage of 10000 each for
Great Britain and the United States
and the existing tonnage for Japan,
France and Italy.
The American proposal would cut
the existing submarine tonnage OF
the United States and Great Britain
about one-third each and leave the
other three powers in their present
position-that is, France apprcxi-
mately $4,000 tons, Japan $1,000 tons
and Italy about $4,000 tons.
The British proposal for the total
adjustment of submarines was said
to have been placed on file without
definite action, the committee turn-
ing to the discussion of the Amer
ican limitation plan. 1t will meet
again at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
Italian arms conference delegation
spokesmen express the belief that
Italy cannot possibly accept the
American proposal for limitation of
submarine tonnage as outlined at to-
days session of the full naval COM
mittee of the conference.
The American proposal which con-
templates retention by Japan, France
and Italy of existing tonnage, the
italians say, would be contrary to
the Italian contention that the naval
strength of Italy and France sould
be equal.

$4,000 Loss in Blaze
At Fremont Garage

Fremont, Neb., Dec. 24-(Special
Telegram. Fire, believed to have
started from a steam heater at the
utility garage, caused loss of $4,000
while fremen fought the stubborn
flames during severe snow storm
here. Oil tanks standing nearby ex-
ploded and sent shower of oil over
the contents Of the building. A high
wind added to the confusion.
The garage is operated by Clark
Stell, who was in the front office Of
the building when the fire was first
discovered. Attempts to put out the
blaze with a hand extinguisher
proved fruitless and only delayed the
calling of the fire department. The
first call failed to mention the loca-
ton of the disturbance. Another
call in a few moments gave the
necessary information. Fremont has
suffered more disastrous fires during
the last few months than during any
other period in its history.
