New York, Aug. 20. 1921.

New I Ork, Aug. ~, 1871.
Announcement of the terms of tax
reform by the House Ways and Means
committee continues the series OF
remedial business measures to which
President Harding and his admins
tration have devoted themselves from
the beginning. The new bill redeems
The promise to repeal the excess
profits tax, removes the transpOrta-
ton taxes AMI provides better admin
istration; and while there will be dis
appointment at the Increasing of the
corporation income tax instead of the
development of some new source of
revenue such as the sales tax, the
changes now proposed must be re-
garded as OF great value to business
from the psychological point of view.
The new bill will undoubtedly be re-
vised mere or less extensively in the
Senate. Meantime the process of get
ting away from war taxes has at last
tegun, fact which will prove of ut
nest encouragement to many enter
prises.
Pending Railroad Measures
The uncertainty of Congress as re-
CARDS the $500,000,000 railway refund
ing bill has been an unquestionable
to the market; yet
though there has been Il decided I'M
dertone Of confidence that President
Harding's influence with the legisla-
tive body would win the day. Even
though action should be deferred for
a few months, as pessimists predict,
the railroads, if assured of ultimate
success, can wait with confidence.
Distinct and continued Improvement
in car loadings for many industries,
and estimates of net railroad earnings
for July, which now runs as high as
$55 900, 900 to $60,000,000, how that the
greater confidence in the transporta-
ton outlook lately expressed is prov
ing to be well justified. Termination
of important strikes and further adj
justments OF rates. particularly on
exports, promise still further pro-
gress in earnings.
The Business Outlook
Steady movement of crops to mar
ket and to points of export continues
a dominating feature in the business
situation. A tendency toward better
prices for many products, notwith-
standing temporary ups and downs, Is
the natural result of strong export de-
mands; while early marketing, in
duced by the necessity of meeting
past bank loans, is apparently tend
ing to reduce the need for credit in
the farming regions and to produce
an Unexpectedly good supply of funds
for current purchasing. Indications
continue to improve in the textile
trades, practically normal conditions
being predicted for the autumn and
winter in these directions. Some pes
simists in the steel trades forecast
continuance of depression extending
into the autumn and winter in their
own line of business, but improve.
ment in building conditions as well as
III railway demand seems likely to
bring recovery sooner than is thus
predicted. Varying conditions in cor
poration earnings are reflected in the
reports of General Motors and some
others which show improvements
over last year, as contrasted with dis
couraging earnings returns in other
cases. A very hopeful element in the
existing outlook is the remarkable
of the purchasing power

partments in an emergency and from
which trained men can be selected to
fill vacancies that occur in the ranks
of the regulars. Not more than twen-
ty men would be permitted to enroll

partment to be given the regular train
ing necessary to fit them for the work
required in these departments. That
when vacancies occur in either de
partment those among such force
shall be recommended for positions
subject to inspection by the city com
mission as to qualifications for such
positions. That such training shall be
not less than one year. D ~
'"That no salary shall be paid for
any service so rendered by such men,

partments.
THAT all applicants for such posi-
lions shall pass the required medical

= IT, 30 G. ~ ...a.-c..I:3d Chap
ter of tho Daughters of the Confed
eracy, words can never express my
thanks for what they said and did for
me on my Saith birthday
The same can be truthfully said of
my old comrades, the city press. and
other friends of the city, county and
state.
One mistake was made which, in
the interest of truth and Justice
must correct: One enthusiastic re-
porter insists that | am the oldest
commissioned officer of the Confed
crate army now living. This distin-
guished honor have never claimed.
The nervous strain that | have been
under for the past week has been
hard on me, but by the mercy of God
and the skill Of my good friend. DR.
Marynard, | hope to be in normal
condition soon.
And now, friends, one and all, last
word: This is hoping that when Gods
Will has been accomplished on earth
that He will permit us to knock at the
pearly gates above and give the
countersgn that will admit us to his
celestial home.
Thank you, J. A. COX

Two Wonderful Features at Ditmas.

Two Wonderful Features at Ditmas.
Bryant Washburn has scored
another bull's-eye in his delightful
new Paramount comedy. IAN ANA
teur Devil" which was presented
before an enthusiastic audience at
the Ditmas Theatre yesterday.
Mr.. Washburn has the role OF
Carver Endicott. q young wealthy
society man whose pepless woo1ng
is resented by his sweetheart. To
wake him up she terminates their
engagement and pretends she is
going to marry his father. a gay
widower. Then Carver decides to
disgrace his father by going to work
on a farm and then in a hotel
kitchen. The newspapers praise him
for his self-sacrificing principles, n
finding he cannot disgrace his fash
ionable name by working, he decides
to get entangled with a notorious
actress. Even this doesn't work, as
the sequel proves, and finally he
makes up with his sweetheart who,
it is evident, has no further COM
plant to make Of his "kickless
kisses"
The program also includes the
great production, Paying the
Piper" which has created so great
a sensation wherever shown. This
picture has an all-star cast and 1s
one that you cannot afford to miss.
Remember that the same pictures
shown in the Ditmas are also shown
in the Airdome.

Ray has done some Of the most
amusing stories that have ever been
shown on the screen In Scrap
Iron." however, he goes farther in
portraying a role which abounds
with strong pathos and tense emo
tional work. His. performance of
the role of John Steel Is perfect, and
between the dramatic situations
there Is enough of his peculiar droll
humor to satisfy even the most ard
emit Ray enthusiast.
The John Steel part furnishes him
with a role different from any he
has ever enacted. An Invalid mother
is the person about whom his whole
existence re~volves. Unwittingly h
earns him the scorn of his fellow
workers when she wins from him a
promise never to fight. The keeping
of the promise also costs him his
girl. Then he loses his job.
His fists are the only things left
to him of value and he breaks his
promise to the extent of engaging in
one of the most thrilling fights that
has ever taken place before the
camera. 1t isn't the usual fight of
the movies, for Ray takes a licking.
He feels hat he can't afford to do
anything except protect himself un-
til the money so badly needed by his
mother is earned. After that-but
it would be spelling a big entertain
ing surprise to tell It.
Mr.. Ray directed the picture HIM
self and introduces several new faces
in the excellent cast which assists
him in portraying the remarkably
dramatic story. Among those who
have prominent parts are: Vera
Stedman, Lydia Knott, Tom O'Brien.
Tom Wilson, Stanton Heck, Claude
Berkely and Charles Wheelock.

Lincoln makes one wish that he

directors megaphone and act in pic
lures.
Ince manages to get every throb
out Of the dramatic scenes, and his
portrayal! of Lincoln is nothing short
Of wonderful.
1t is a human story. a leaf taken
out of American history, which
shows the best beloved man of the
country as the humane head of the
army. A young boy of eighteen de-
serts in order to visit his dying
mother, and is arrested at her bed
side. Lincoln, who learns the cir
cumstances, accomplishes his rescue
from the firing squad. How this Is
done is a gripping drama, and con-
tains a strong love interest.
The locations and settings are
historically accurate and the spec
