Committee Urges Further Cut

Washington.-Steps were taken by
Republican members of the ways and

persons from a portion of their tax
burdens.
An amendment was adopted raising
the exemption from $4,000, under ex-
listing law, to $1,000, effective prob.
ably as Of January 1, 1921, for mar.
ried persons where the salary does not

the exemption for single persons. which
is now $1,000.
Representative Longworth Rep., o.

the total salary before tax Is paid will
be $4,000 if these changes become ef-
fective
The enlarged exemptions will cause
total loss of S5O,OOO.OOO in revenue.
With these and numerous minor
changes the committee virtually COM
pleted the tax bill.
The committee struck out section
9O4 of the bill which places 10 per
cent tax on many commodities and dis
cussed placing on the articles affected
manufacturers tax of 3 per cent.
The change would eliminate the plan
of existing law under which the re-
taller adds the tax.
Among the articles changed are:
Hats in excess of So and caps in .ex-
cess of So; neckwear In excess of So
each; shirts in excess Of So each; un.
derwear in excess of So.
The proposed substitute woull ap-
ply on the value above amounts to be
fixed. The number of articles will
probably be enlarged. The taxes
would yield S100,O0O,OOO instead Of
$'O,0O0O0O as now.

.SILES|AN ISSUE UP TO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Recourse to Covenant Follows
Allied Premiers' Deadlock in
Boundary Dispute.

Paris.-The Interallied Supreme
Council turned over the Upper Silesian
question to the Executive Council Of
the League Of Nations and the allied
Premiers pledged themselves to be
bound by the findings Of the league.
This step was takei. when Premiers
BRAND and Lloyd George were unable
to agree on a settlement, which. of
course, meant that the Supreme Coun-
Gil was unable to agree.
Two important effects of this action
will be, first, to enhance the impor-
tance of the League of Nations and
second, to eliminate the United States
from the negotiations, since the United
States Is not member of the league.
Recourse was had to the League Of
Nations under Article Nj, Paragraph
2, of the covenant, which says it is
the friendly right of any member of the
league to bring to the attention of the
Assembly Of the Council "any circum-
stance whatever affecting international
relations, which threatens to disturb
international peace or the good under
standing between the nations upon
which peace depends"
When called on for his vote on the
proposal of Mr.. Lloyd George to hand
over the Silesian problem to the
league, Ambassador Harvey made a
statement which is subject to good
deal of comment He said:
"The President of the United States
has felt from the beginning that this
matter was one of distinctly European
concern. 1t will be with relief, there
fore, that he will hear of the con-
firmation of this view by the Supreme
Council in referring the question to a
body with which the United States
is not associated. Consequently, rs the
representative of the President, shall
refrain from participating in this de-
cision."
