Credit Men Criticize
Corporation Tax Increase

ings Might Prove sCalamitous'

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 22.-The d.
rectors of the National Association of
Credit Men gave out statement here
to-day criticizing the suggestion that
the normal tax on corporate earnings
be Increased from 10 per cent to Is
per cent, and recommended the follow
ing tax program:
1.-THE excess profits tax should be
repealed.
"2-lncome taxation. embodying as it
does the principle Of taxing in accord
ance with ability to pay, should be the
cornerstone of our Federal system of
taxation.
"3-The income tax should be levied
on the income of individuals onIy. and
not on corporations as such.
"4-Wherever individuals permit
their earnings flom corporate business
to accumulate in the hands of corpora
tlon, and thus evade individual income
tax, tax comparable to individual in
come tax should be levied on such
earnings in the hands of the corpora
ton.
"5-Whether or not the above princi-
pies are to be recognized in the tax bill
now pending in Congress, we are ut
rerly opposed to any increase in the
rate of the normal tax levied on the
income of corporations. The increase
of the normal tax on corporations from
10 per cent to Is per cent will affect
thousands of corporations whose rate
of earnings is so low as not to be
reached by excess profits tax, the very
corporations least able to bear it. In
creasing the tax burden of such cor
porations by so per cent is indefensible
and in the present business depression
may be calamitous."

100000 Hot Breakfasts
Committee Here to Give Jobless
Veterans Good Start Daily

A committee for the relief of job
less ex-service men, whose first aim
will be to give a hot breakfast to each
of the 1000 said to be in this city,
was organized yesterday at luncheon
given by Frederick A. Wallis, Commis-
sioner of immigration. The luncheon
was at the Bankers Club.
Commissioner Wallis said that 70O,-
600 ex-service men were out of work
in this country, while only $4,000 were
unemployed in France. The organiza-
tion would spread throughout the coun-
try, he said, as soon as it was estab-
lished firmly in New York. State au-
thorities will be asked to give the use
of the armories for serving breakfasts
to ex-service men and the cooperation
of other organizations will be asked in
putting them to work.
A letter was read from Governor
Miller in which he expressed his ap-
proval of the idea, and another from
Adjutant General J. Leslie Kincaid of
fering his cooperation. James j.
Davis, Secretary of Labor, and many
others wrote approving Of the plan.

self. People in trouble always try
to blame some one else. 1t was so
with Black Pussy. And so she blamed
Striped Chipmunk. Yes, sir; she
blamed Striped Chipmunk for all her
troubles, quite forgetting that she
had no business to be trying to catch
Striped Chipmunk.
81 believe he knew Jimmy Skunk
was there by the old stone wall and
led me there just to get me in trou-
ble,' growled Black Pussy to herself,
which happened to be very good
guess on her part, as you and I
know. "Some day I'll pay him for
this. | will so. Some day he'll be
sorry. Once | get my claws in his
striped coat he'll be the. sorriest
Chipmunk that ever lived"
Had Striped Chipmunk heard that
he would have laughed. He would
have thought it great joke. You
see he knew very we'll that it would
be a long, long time before Black
Pussy would come that way again.
He knew that she had had lesson
she would never forget as long as
she lived, and that the mere thought
of Jimmy Skunk would keep her
away from the Old Orchard.
So Jimmy Skunk went serenely
about his business, and Striped Chip
munk merrily about his, and Black
Pussy sneaked about unhappily, an
outcast whom no one would allow
near.

Governor Speaks
To Legionnaires at
jamestown To-day
Speculation Over Greeting
MIR. Miller Will Get; Vet
Grams Seem to Think Dee
gan Will Be Commander
From a staff Correspondent

JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Sept. 22.-With
more than thousand Legionnares of
New York State already here and q
like number due TO arrive in the morn
ing, the organization of the third an
nual convention of the Legion for the
Department Of New York is we'll under
way.
The chief topic Of discussion to-
night is the probability of the election
of William F. Deegan, of Bronx County,
the present state e-commander, as
the next state commander. His only
opponent apparently is Hugh w. Wise,
Of Watertown, and it is the conten-
tion of Deegan's supporters that the
upstate mans strength will prove
negligible when the voting is done.
When the delegates are called to or
der in the morning by State Com
mander Charles G. Blaeslee, of Bing-
hamton, the early session will be de-
voted to the reception Of distinguished
visitors. Governor Miller will be one
of the speakers, as will Mayor Samuel
A. Carlson of this city, who will well
come the delegates. Other honor guests
will be members of the Grand Army
Of the Republic, the United Spanish
war veterans and Americans who served
with the Canadian forces.
III tie dlCeIuOON, JOHH VI. Emery,
national commander, will be the chief
speaker, with several other notables
scheduled to addres sthe convention.
There was much speculation tonight
over the probable reception of the Gov
ernor by the ex-service men and women.
His attitude toward the disqualification
complaint registered by the Legion has
dissatisfied some of the delegates, and
it may be they will seek to get from
him a declaration of the states plans
for remedy for the conditions they
criticize
Most of the New York delegates, in
cluding representatives from all five
counties, arrived on late train this
evening. Led by the Bronx delegation
they marched to the convention head
quarters carrying banners emblazoned
with Deegan slogans. Apparently the
southern end of the state is solidly be-
hind the Bronx official for the chief
Office the organization has to offer,
while the upstate delegations are bid
ing their time before they declare them
selves.

Bedtime Stories
Black Pussy Is an Outcast
By Thornton W. Burgess
You'u f,ad that all through life 'tis
true
Mistakes are n, minute 1r,dde );
Bat long aojlI be the time before
For those mistakes yoas've fully
paid.
-RIack Pussy.
Black Pussy.

Black Pussy was an outcast An
outcast, you know, is one who may
not return home and with whom
no one will have anything to do.
And that is just the way it was
with Black Pussy. She was not al
lowed even to sit on the doorstep of
Farmer Browns house. If she came
near the house she was driven away.
and 1T was all because she had made
the mistake of not looking where she
was jumping and SO got in trouble
with Jimmy Skunk. Now she was
paying for it, paying for that mistake.
AT first Black Pussy understood it.
She knew that she carried about with
hes the smell of Jimmy Skunk, and
that 1t was most unpleasant smell
to have about. But after a couple of
days she was so used to it herself
That she didn't notice it, and she
couldn't understand why no one
would come near her or allow her to
come ne r MIN. Even her master,
FARMER Browns Boy, who always had
been very fond of her, cried "Scat,"
every time she went near him. 1t
was nard to understand and harder
still to bear.
~ oiack russy was forced to sleep
under the barn, and was lonely and
miserable and forlorn. Farmer
Browns Boy brought food out for her
every day, putting it down near
corner OF the barn. He never forgot
70 leave a saucer of milk for her
wnen he MIXED the cows He took
pans to see that she had plenty to
eat. But he would no longer allow
ner to sit by his side while he MIXED
the cows, and he no longer patted
and petted her.
, She tried to forget her troubles by
nantlng Mice and Rats, but they al
ways knew by the smell when she
vas about; so, of course, she never
nad chance to catch one. Some
ZINES she longed to go over to the
va Orchard, but she didn't dare to.
Jimmy Skunk might be there, and
me very thought Of Jimmy sent little
creepy chills along her backbone,

few minutes an egg mob, mad as hor-
nets, would swarm up to the roof
His conjecture was correct, but the
reaction of the crowd was not prompt
enough to save Sefchetsky or his roll.
His assailants beat HIM almost into in
sensibility with blackjacks and de-
parted with his money few minutes
before the first of the posse coniured
up by the egg peddler poked his head
through the scuttle.
Sefchetsky was taken to Harlem
Hospital, and just before he lost con-
sciousness Detectives Caputo and
Derning, of the East 1O4th Street po-
lice station. brought to his bedside two
youths whom they had picked up on
suspicion. They were Frank Gentle, of
2235 Second Avenue, and Sam Ballas-
lima, of 306 East 108th Street
One of them is alleged to have had
revolver and the other blackjack,
freshly stained with something red and
sticky. The blackjack man had SSS and
S. in silver also. Sefchetsky identified
them as his assailants and they were
locked up. Then he collapsed. 1t is
believed his skull may be fractured.
