The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-06-13

Monday, June Is, new low Chandler
prices are effective. This new Chandler
price puts the Chandler car right out in
front. $1785 for five-passenger touring
car was the price of the Chandler of eight
years ago. The big, handsome, powerful
Chandler of today, constantly developed,
enlarged and refined as the years passed,
would have sold in that earlier day for
twice its present price.
Our action in restoring that 1913 price
for today's Chandler, is convincing evid-
ence of the constancy of the Chandler
Company slon9 established policy of high
quality at low price. The Chandler price
has never at any time been advanced
because of Over-sOld trade.
Chandler Offers So Much More
For So much Less

motors have come and gone while the

by the city to the company available In
the near future, It was learned today.
The railway company has issued orders
to its contractor to stop work upon the
elevation in and around the Union Station
on March IL
City officials conferred today upon the
problem and Corporation Counsel Sam
uel Ashby will lay the whole situation
before the city council tonight with the
request that the council help out by ap-
proving at an early date a bond issue
with which to pay what the city owes
the railroad.
Continuation of work upon the whole
track elevation project depends upon the
Indianapolis Union Railway, it was said.
According to city officials the city owes
the indianapolis Union Railway $T64. 900
up to Jan. l. The railroad owes the city
$685. 900 for its share of the cost of con-
structing the Pogue's Run drain ten
years ago and $167,O 600 for other track
elevation work done by the city for the
railroad company. This leaves the city
actually owing the railroad $22S, 600.
The contract Of the railroad with the
city, however, provides that there shall
be no settlement until after the track
elevation project is entirely completed
Contracts os other railroads involved in
the project provide that the city make
monthly settlements. Officials of the In
dianapolis UNION Railway have asked
that their contracts be modified so that
their settlements also may be made

Keeping Revenues Up Is Big
Problem at First Council
on Congress Program.
HEAR TREASURY STAFF

WASHINGTON, March 14.-With
Secretary Mellon and a staff Of
Treasury Department experts sitting
in," Republican members of the Sen
ate Finance and House Ways and
Means Committees began work today
on a program of tariff and taxation
revision which it is hoped will meet
the approval of President Harding
and the greatly increased Republican
majority of Congress.
It Is conceded by Republican leaders
that If such a program is to be attended
by any lasting success they must first
accomplish the difficult task Of ironing
out the wide divergence Of views on the
tariff and domestic taxes prevailing
among Republican members Of both the
Senate and House.
Another acute problem which must be
solved is that of effecting practical
changes in the existing tariff and internal
revenue laws without depicting the enor-
nous revenue required to finance the
Government, increasing the already high
cost Of living or interfering with the pro-
duction and export of American goods 80
essential to the eOuntry's welfare.
INVOLVES MANY
GRAVE QUESTIONS.
The relationship Of the domestic to the
foreign situation, the serious question Of
! readjusting exchange and Of stahlizing
commerce. Of assisting the farmer, the
manufacturer and the factory worker, Of
submerging local or sectional require
ments to the needs Of the country gener
ally, all enter into the selection Of the
best methods to be employed TO unrayel
the grave economic and financial prob
lens Congress must deal with.
Todays conference is only a start.
Other conferences will follow. II is the
intention Of Republican leaders to de-
vote the short recess before the conven-
Ing Of Congress In extraordinary session
next month to consideration Of the most
practical ways and means Of avoiding the
legislative breakers ahead.
SALES TAX SUBSTITUTE
FOR LEVY ON PROFITS.
One Of the first moves anticipated is
the substitution Of sales tax for the
excess profits tax
Senator Smoot. Republican, Utah, a
member Of the Senate Finance Commit
tee. Is engaged on legislation providing
for such substitution
Enactment OF an anti dumping bill to
shut out foreign products In excessive
quantities, passage Of an emergency tariff
bill and re-euactment OF an amended
Payne AIdrich tariff bin are some Of the
many panaceas for existing Industrial
and business conditions which are being
suggested.

MIR. Robinson stands very close to Gov
