THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"KANeARoo."

wv HEN Captain Cooks expe-
w dition anchored Off the
coast of Australia one of the
first things the explorer did was
TO send some OF his men ashore
with Instructions to bring back
specimens of the plants, flowers
and animals which appeared to
be distinctive OF the country.
Two of the sailors returned
with n beast which had ex-
tremely long hind legs. short
fore paws and an exceptionally
well developed tail. Cook, who
had never seen anything OF the
kind, desired to learn something
more about the strange animal
and sent the men back to dis
cover by what name the natives
called II.
Upon their return they report
eG that the nearest they could
come TO II was Kangaroo"
AT least" as one of the men de-
clared, that's what all the ma
tives said when I pointed to the
animal" SO, when Captain
Cook returned home. he brought
with hip the body Of an animal
which was introduced to natural
history under the name "kan-
garoo."
II was not until number OF
years later that II was found
that Kangaroo" was the Aus
tralian equivalent for 81 don't
know" which was the reason
that the natives said this when
Cooks men asked them a ques-
tion they didn't understand

-FOUR BILLION DOLLARS MUST
Be RAISED THRU TAXATION

are regarded at the treasury as driving
capital into tax exempt securities and
as a disbursement to investments OF
nature which produce federal reve-
nue..
The new tax bill probably will be
made retroactive over the calendar
year of 1921 on incomes and other
forms of taxes based on the calendar
period.
AS to other taxes MIR. Fordney said
he hoped to make most of them ap-
plioable Immediately upon passage of
the bill.
Transportation taxes would be re-
pealed under Mr. Fordney's plan but
he said 1T might not be possible to
do so.
Many of the special war time taxes
described recently by Mr.. Mellon as
"nuisances." are certain to be elimin-
ated under the program to be advo-
Gated by the committee chairman.
AS for reduction in the taxes on
normal incomes or the raising of the
personal income exemptions. Mr. Ford
ney held out little hope. He said, how
ever. that IL sufficient new sources of
reveue can he tapped to offset the
losses anticipated thru abolition of the
excess profits and reduction OF the
higher surfaces on incomes, the per
sonal income exemptions will get some
consideration as will the rates on the
normal incomes.
Chairman Fordney would not say
that a general tax reduction was posi-
BILE but emphasized that the burden
could be made lighter thru redistribu-
ton of the levies.
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-07-23

Washington, D. c.. July 22.-The
house ways and means committee will
set about tax revision with the idea
of raising four billion dollars in reve-
nue. exclusive of postal receipts in the
next year. Chairman Fordney said
tonight after he, with other Republi-
cans of the committee. had conferred
a length with Secretary Mellon on the
general subject of taxation. The
amount required is the same as had
been raised by the present law and
shows no hope. therefore of a reduc-
ton in the gross amount needed. The
governments requirements will be met
however, in slightly different manner
than under the present law. the chair
man said.
Many changes are proposed in the
hope of readjusting the burden In
way that will encourage commerce and
industry and thereby increase the reve-
nues. according to Mr. Fordney.
Altho the conference with the treas
ury head was said to have provided
basis upon which the committee may
begin work Tuesday, Mr.. Fordney

President Harding before proceeding
II was understood he hoped TO confer

From Mr.. Fordneys remarks. II APP
peared that a majority of committee
members were agreed on an abolition
of the excess profits tax and the sub
