Irish and JObless
Problems Paramount
with Great Britain

London, Oct. 6-(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The Washington confer
cnce on ornaments and Far Eastern
questions took third place in the three
important problems which faced the
British cabinet at a council held this
afternoon.
Announcement of the British dele
gates to the Washington meeting is
expected to be delayed until next
week while the cabinet directs it's at
tenton to the Unemployment situa-
ton.
In official circles it is stated that
the three subjects which demand the
governments attention are unemploy-
ment, the Irish situation and arma-
ment. but of these unemployment is
the more urgent. Officials are careful
to point out that the three subjects
are equally important but that the
conditions surrounding unemployment
resulting in such demonstrations as
those OF the last few days, demand
the quickest relief possible.
After unemployment looms the new
Irish conference of October II, to
which the cabinet must appoint rep
resentatives to discuss the basis for
negotiations. From this subject the
cabinet will turn to give full consid-
Grafton to the Washington.

DAY OF RECKONING
COMING FOR BRITISH
IN "DOLES" SYSTEM

Portland, Me, Oct 6.-Unless the
British government ceases to pay
'doles" to the unemployed. along
with the old age pension, which he as
serted is a failure, the tax rate will
become unbearable and then things
will happen" Trade Commissioner
Wilbur ]. Page told business men in
an address at the Chamber of Com
merce today
Financial assistance in the form of
what are known as "doles" is now
being received by 100000 people, the
amount being slowly decreased as is
consistent with conditions. added Mr.
Page. who has been an attache Of the
American embassy at London the
past two years, representing the de-
partment of commerce.
Increased taxation has had the
effect of preventing normal expan-
sion of industry" he said "Irrespec-
tive of political questions the British
have difficult problems ahead which
must be solved. Chief among these
is the problem of taxation, increased
from s6S per capita in 1914 to 500.
The bad effect of this heavy taxa
ton makes itself apparent in the
effect it has brought upon
1T is remarkable" he said, how
Europe has withstood the onslaught
of the times. The reconstruction ac-
tivities and achievements of the Eu-
ropean people are nothing short of
miraculous.
British bankers have been the SAL
walton of the British financial sys-
tom Just as the federal reserve lizard
has been the salvation of American
industry and finance all through the

BELIEVE COP. PLAN
WILL SMOOTH WAY
OF TAX REVISION

| Washington, Oct. i6.-Republican
Senate leaders in a series of confer
ences today agreed upon a tentative
tax revision program which they be-
lieve will close the principal gap
F.! within their party ranks in the SEN
ate and at the same time prove ac-
ceptance to the Republicans in the
House of Representatives.
Main points in the program are an
increase in the maximum surtax rate
from 80 per cent. to so per cent. and
repeal of the tax on freight, passen-
ger and Pullman transportation. In
addition it is proposed to repeal the
$4,000 exemption allowed corporations,
which would mean an additional $50
600, 600 of revenue for corporate
sources. retain the corporation CAPT
tai stock tax estimated to yield S15,-
100000 next year. and repeal the va
rious so-called nuisances taxes, such
as those on soda water, cosmetics,
proprietary medicines and the like
There also was said to have been Il
tentative agreement to increase the
estate taxes so as to have a maximum
of 40 or so per cent. on estates in ex-
cess of 100000 900. The present max
imum is rs per cent. on estates of
s10,000,00o Most leaders were I'M
derstood to have favored the commit
tee proposal for a fiat tax of Is per
cent. on corporation incomes. but
there was some discussion of a grad
uated tax, with the rate 10 per cent on
corporations having an income Of
5000 or less yearly. The question
of increased first class postage rates
also was brought up again. but these
and other matters are to be threshcd
out at meeting Of Republican mem
bers of the finance committee within a
day or two.
In advance of this meeting. Sena-
| tors Lenroot of Wisconsin and Nc
Cormick of Illinois, leaders of the
progressive group, are to draw UP
amendments embodying the proposed
changes for presentation to the COM
mittee Republicans.
1t is the plan to have the amend
ments presented on the floor as COM
mittee proposals with view of ex-
pediting action on the tax bill
In framing their program, the lead
ers considered and rejected the Smoot
manufacturers sales tax plan and
also approved the committee proposal
to repeal the excess profits tax as of
next January l. Active fights for
the sales tax and against repeal of
the profits tax are promised, how
ever, on the Senate floor. Senator
Smoot gave notice today he would
speak at length on his plan next week.
! Senator's Lenroot and Mccormick
went over the proposed changes in the
bill with treasury experts today and
1T was said later that while the
changes would involve a shifting of
a total of about $3.50, 100000 in taxes.
the total to be raised under the bill
amended as planned would be approx
imately the same as under the orig
I inal measure-SS.324V0 N.n00
Repeal of the transportation and
nuisance taxes would account for Zap
proximately s2Oooo0,oOO, but tit wa
estimated this would be made up by
the proposed additional taxes on cor
porations and the increased income
sur tax rates.
