EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS APRIL II
Tax Revision and Protection Of
Industry" Some Things That
Are Promised

The leading republicans of con-
gress in conference with President
Harding aveagreed upon April11
as the time for the extra session of
the Sixty. Seventh Congress, the
first to be held under President
Harding's administration,
The agreement was reached last
Monday while Senator Lodge. the
republican leader of the senate,
and Senator Underwood, the min
Ority leader, we're ID conference
with the president. The date
seemed to give general satisfaction.
The republicans are proposing to-
do some great things during the
extra session. Tax revision is GER
tain they claim, and industry will
be protected by the passage of ap.
prOpriate legislation. Sentiment
fsvors the repeal of excess profits
TAX and substitution OF small levy
on sales.
One among the FIRST bills will be
an anti-dumping bill, to protect
American industries from Europ.
can competition. Then will come
the tariff revision or internal tax
as a part of the fiscal
program.
Agreement among the commit
tee members, it is said, was unani-
nous against attempting to enact
any temporary slop-gap tariff bill,
the feeling being that any tariff
legislation enacted should be of a
permanent nature.

BACK TAX MACHINE
Being ATTACKED
Very Ugly Charge Being Made
That May Hurt the Demo
cratic Party

The investigation made by a
legislative committee with refer
ence to the workings Of the back
tax machine has brought out some
very ugly charges. In referring to
one special case the Tennessean
says:
sThe spectacle of Lonnie B.
Ofmes drawing $4,000 a year, a
clerk getting $1,000 and an at
torney $4,000, to say nothing Of
another attorney getting $1,000
for drafting a bill. is not cOndu-
Give to promoting an EZRA of good
feeling''among the toiling farmers,
who are hard put to make both
ends meet.
The admissions of Comptroller
Thomson and Mr.. Ormes that
fund was raised. to the extent of
which both pleaded ignorance, to-
elect Mr.. Thomson for a fourth
time is ample evidence that the
gentry of the back tax machine
are not in the game for their
health.
Once or twice before the demo-
cratic party in Tennessee has suf-
fered because of the method of
collecting back taxes. There
should be some way Of collecting
these taxes. but it should not cost
The taxpayers such outrageous
sums.

POULTRY RAISING
PAYING BUSINESS
One Huntingdon Firm Last Year
Handled Quarter Million
Dollars Worth

Poultry raising is a profitable
business and the aggregate amount
Of chickens and eggs sold in Car
roll county each year, II known,
would be astonishing to even the
growers themselves. Some people
estimate the total amount of cash
paid for chickens and eggs in Car
roll county to be equal to the cot
ton crop. This estimate we sus-
pect is nearly ifnot entirely correct
w. H. Lassiter & Co., live and
progressive poultry dealers in
Huntingdon, paid out last year
about $250,00O for poultry and
eggs. There are at least four
other firms in the county buying
poultry, one at Mckenzie, one at
Irrelevant, one at Hollow Rock
and one at Atwood, and all these
firms do,a big business. So it is
easily seen that poultry raising in
Carroll county is a business well
worthwhile. The outcome is
nothing like as great as it could be
for the demand for poultry is in
creasing with each year.

CONFIRMATION OF
PECK IS APPROVED

Fail TO Find Proof Of Sem

Capt. Thomas F. Peck, appointee

demanded that the confirmation of
Captain Peck be delayed for the
third time. The senate voted to
set the confirmation resolution for

There is no doubt but what Cap

should be, and the republican party

" ear A Poppy.

In keeping with a newly .inaugu
rated custom, every American is
urged to wear a red poppy upon
his or her breast on the nstiona
Memorial Day, May 80. as q mark
of loyalty and respect for the
memory of the boys who sacritic
ed their lives on the fields oi
France during the world war.
This is a beautiful custom, pa.
triotic, idealistic and worthy in
every respect.
1t was in moment of inspira.
ton that the late Colonel John
McCrea fixed forever in the mind
Of mankind the poppy as the ssc.
rificial symbol Of tender respect
for those who died in the world
war as be did.
His noble poem, "ln Flanders
Fields" has achieved universal
popularity; and the crimson flow.
ers which nod between rows oi
crosses in the soldier cemeteries
of northern France have been
brought home to US as the appro.
pirate token of the blood and the
peaceful sleep of the heroes who
gave all for civilization and
human liberty
In their annual convention a,
Cleveland, Ohio, last fall the
American Legion gave formal &C.
acknowledgement of the fitness Of
this symbol by officially adopting
the red poppy as the memorial
flower OF the organization, to be
worn by legionnsires everywhere
On Memorial Day in silent tribute
