SALES TAX XDOOMED,
SAYS HOUSE CHIEF
Congress Will Lift War Burden,
Not Shift 1t, Leader Mon.
dell Declares.

"There will be no sales tax imposed
by Congress-" said House Republican
Leader Monden today in disposing cf
rumors that the advocacy of the tax
was causing Republican dissension.
There is to be a lifting OF the
present war burdens on the people
instead of q shifting of the burdens"
he continued. Taxes are to be re-
duced. The sales tax does not be-
long to the American system of tax
alton. 1t can be justified only as a
war or emergency tax, or an unusual
tax levied for some specific purpose.
"With the war ended going on three
years 1t 10 time for the United States
to get on a war tax basis and go on
q peace tax basis. Our country will
be better off when the Government
let's up on it's demands on the people
and permits them to retain and use
their money in business in their own
way. With the close Of this fscal
year June so, we will cease paying or
several war obligations. and the ex-
penditures by the Government should
be reduced and its needs lessened."

LASH0NG.0.P.
Turning to wisconsin, Says
Georgian, In Senate Debut.
RidicuIes Knox.

Senator "Tom" Watson, the
stormy petrol" Of Georgia, made
his maiden speech in the Senate
yesterday.
Although his arm was bound in a
sling owing to fractured wrist,
which caused him sharp pain, the
new Senator was in his best form,
and it was clear long before he had
concluded that the dash Of pictr-
esqueness and color to the ordi-
narly drab debate in the Upper
Chamber, predicted with his COM
ing to Washington was not amiss.
CONSERVATIVES sQUIRM.
'sTom" watson" projected himself
into the Colombian treaty debate with
all the aplumb of a veteran and the
conservatives of the Senate sauirmed
uncomfortably as his juicy phrases
seemed to shatter the decorum of the
body.
After twitting the Republicans upon
their "change Of base" with regard
to the treaty, Senator Watson said:
II am almost inclined to wonder
whether Senator'S upon the other side
of the chamber are residuary legatees
of the will OF Woodrow Wilson. Have
they no fear that they will whip them
selves by adopting wisconsin at the
very beginning OF their Administra-
ton?
THE voice OF the minority was
unheeded In 1918 and the cables were
so closed that Europe never knew
to what extent the American people
condemned the policies of Woodrow
Wilson. Last year they obtained
Al At
been for the most powerful pressure
Southern States, notably my own.
those States would have gone Re-
publican in opposition to wisconsin.
Now the very irst thing that / en-
counter here Is an effort of the Re-
publican party to carry out Wilson
ism in its strongest manifestations,
and apparently they are not afraid
of the by-election that will come
next year. b.
sATIRICAL WITH KNOX.
This is the way in which the
Georgian referred to Senator Knox:
at Is nothing new for lawyers TO
weave sttentuated threads, but the
smallest legal thread that ever I saw
come out of a big lawyers head was
the one that came out of the hest
lawyer from Pennsylvania yesterday.
It is not big enough to wire; 1t was
invisible--it was gossamer.
Before you knew II. II swung from
one side of the chamber to the other,
to the INFINITE satisfaction Of the
Senator, the great lawyer who was
spinning the web; and he did not
leave IL where II tried to stick, and
where, no doubt. the votes will make
IL stich. but he had to illustrate II
by a story about a widow in Penn
sylvania-that great State in which
william Penn bought the whole
thing-coal. oil, and h-for rs cents
worth. of striped calico"
