Suggestions For
 Revision Of Tax
 Law Rush Senate
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The sen ate finance committee was swamped at hearings yesterday with Sugges- tons for revision of the federal tax tax laws. It heard for the first time a defense of the excess profits tax B. well as pleas for reduced taxes and elimination for alleged discriminatory provisions against business.
 C. c. Hanch of Indianapolis and G. NJ. Graham of Buffalo, speaking for the National automobile chamber of commerce, were chief witnesses from the industrial ranks and urged re- moval of excess profits, luxury, ex- else, transportation and consumption taxes.
 Tax revisions discussions were given new twist before the senate finance committee today by II. Ar chibald Harris of Chicago, who took a positive stand for continuation of the excess profits tax and urged ex- emption of corporation dividends from surtaxes. He was the first witness before any congressional committee at this session to pro- pose retention of the excess profits tax provisions of the present revenue laws.
 He told the committee that in his opinion, it should direct efforts to- ward reduction of taA-rree securities. He also suggested a reduction of the higher surtax rates on personal in- comes.
 By shifting the 1917 returns. the treasury is shaking out around S35, O00,000 a month in extra taxes, MT Harris said, and predicted that when examination of the 1918 returns gets under way, the income from back taxes will jump to between $50,O00,- 900 and S75,000.000 month.
 This will mean he added, "that between s1, 800 900. .000, 900 and $2,52O,- 100000 in additional taxes will be as- sessed in the next three years"
 In the next three years, he said. the government should received be- tween s2,340, 100000 and 276,000, 0e0 from 1918, which treasury off cials have not counred on as yet in any of their computations.
 Frank Seidman of Grand Rapids, Mich. took still another track on the profits tax question, suggesting a tax on undistributed earnings of cor porations to make good losses caused by repeal of the profits tax.

 MT. Hanch stressed the need of the country for an equilibrium between supply and demand. He declared in- creasing the tax burden would make more remote restoration of the busi- ness balance which he said was nec- essary for an early revival of com merce and industry.
 The subject of high taxes got into the senate floor today. Senator La toilette, Republican of Wisconsin, a member of the committee, charged that there was definite trend among members of the finance com mittee to shift the tax burden from the rich to the great common peo- ple.'

USING FIRE TO CLEAN
 BRUSH LAND CANADA

EDMONTON. Alta, Dee. B. Clear ..s land by fire is now method being tried ont in Northern Alberta. A tract of 1oo.0Oo acres of Govern mont land in the Battle River dis trict. sixty miles northeast ol Peace River Landing, most of which is brush country is being cleared by means of fires. The work is being carried out by party of twelve men sent from Edmonton by the Land Department of the Dominion Government.
 Trial of the fire method of clear ing land was made last year and proved entirely practicable, when carefully set and controlled fires were found to be the quickest. cheap est and most effective method of clearing and will in the future be extensively used in Government lands in the North.
 The Battle River land being burned of will be thrown open to settlers.
 The Peace River region is a rich farming country Though far north, it is warmed by Chinook winds and has as mild a climate as parts of Canada much farther south. Live stock graze in the pastures all the year round and forty bushels of wheat to the acre is common yield
 The rush to the Fort Norman oil fields on the Mackenzie is expected to bring many settlers into the Peace River Valley. Men of the North country declare there is more money to be made in farming in this fer tile region than in boring for oil qt the frozen top of the continent

 CONFERENCE

" " B A && N H &&E ' ~ sA@
 HONOLULU, T. H, Dec. 3.-The statement of Premier w. r. Massey, of New Zealand, made on the occasion of his stop in Honolulu en route to his home after attending the all-Brit- ish premiers' conference recently held in London, to the effect that "a tripartite agreement as between Brit ain, America and Japan would be the best arrangement possible, and if this result could be obtained at the Wash ington armaments reduction confer ence the Pacific problem would be solved for some time and a great step taken toward lasting peace" has caused much interested comment throughout Hawaii
 Due to it's situation in the middle of the Pacific, almost halfway between mainland America and the Orient, Hawaii is perhaps more interested in tho peaceful solution of our Pacific problems than is any other section of the United States Premier Massey in his suggestion of tripartio agree mcnt to include Japan. admittedly the source of Amcrica's worries concern ing the Pacific has voiced the scuti. moU'e of many of Hawairs leading -. ...'. who. through association with tnn Japanese people here resident, have come to believe that they are .ca."Dly or meeting other nations on an equal footing and working with them to soI,s the problem which Japan herself has created. Thrse men point to the amicable relations existing be- tween American citizens in Hawaii and the educated members of the Jap ancse population of the islands, claim ing that what can be accomplished thus on small scale can equally well he accomplished on a large interna- tional scale As for British participa- tiOn in such an agreement as that sug. gested, Hawaii, with her rather large British population her long history of friendly relations with Britain, and her neighborly relations with the Brit ish colonies 10 the south. takes such participation for granted.
 SOME SEE JAP MENACE
 Another element in Hawaii is ap- parcntly unalterably opposed to par ticipation with Japan in any sort of international compact or agreement. This element, in which may be found many of the old.timc IIawaiiaus. look upon the presence of the Japanese in Hawaii as a distinct menace and can see no solution for the problem save the deportation of Japanese nationals now here and ihc subsequent exclu- sion of all Japanese. solution which could result only in war between the two nations. The idea that Japan might be allied with America be per suaded to withdraw certain percent age Of her people from American soil in return for possible concessions else where does not appear to this rather radical faction to be at all likely.
 The general trend of opinion in Hawaii appears to be that only by the presentation of the facts on both sides and the open-minded consideration of these facts by all parties concerned can any solution of our Pacific prob lems be arrived at, and because of this widespread belief Premier Masseys suggestion has on the whole met with approval Tn Hawaii, as it involves such discussion and consideration on the part of the three nations most vitally interested in the Pacific-Britain. Ja- pan and the United States.

VICTORY THEATRE. DAYTON

Mitzi. in her new musical romance,
Lady Billy" which will be seen at
the Victory theatre, Dayton, for three
days starting Monday night, Dec. 10,
scored a triumph last season in her
newest vehicle, and presents a charm
ing refutation of the statement that
musical comedy cannot be made in
teresting, tuneful and amusing at one
and the same time. The story by
Zelda Sears is distinctive and con-
sistent one trimming with humor and
interesting situations and the score
by Harold Levy is Of light operate
quality.
Aside from the fact that Mitzi has
the best role of her career it is hard
to say whether it is the delightful
story, the spirited score or the lifting
lyrics which have most contributed tC
the success of Lady Billy" Howev
er, they all combine so delightfully."-
that it is the resultant effect thai
alone matters. Mitzi is supported by
a splendid cast including Sydney
Greenstreet. Boyd Marshall, Elsa
Forester, Arthur Uttrey. Vira Rail
Mack Kennedy, Louise Dose, Charles
Gay, Beatrice Collenette and Harr!
Lang
There is singing and dancing en-
semble composed of quartettes, sex
tettes and octettes. There is also {
Billy Male quartette. The production
is refreshingly picturesque.
