Madison, Wis.--The Senate got it,
self into a deadlock over motion
picture censorship this morning and
with sixteen members present went
into a call of the house which was
broken finally by adjournment. ~
Trouble started when the senator's
refused to put over consideration Of
the Bennett bill to create a state board
Of review to operate under the indus
trial commission as a censorship body.
The committee on state affairs had
unanimously recommended that the
measure be killed.
Speaking for his request that the

clared that moving pictures were serv-
ing as bad moral influence on the
young and creating a. false attitude
toward life which should not be per-
mitted.
Women appearing in pictures often
don't have enough clothes to wad a

on-Congressional commit
tees charged with tax revision had be-
fore them today treasury suggestions
on which they may base future legis-
lation. Secretary Mellon has trans
mitted four specific propositions, in a
letter to chairmen of the House ways
and means committee and the Senate
finance committee as the principal
basis of revision.
These proposals include modified
tax on corporate profits or flat adj
ditional income tax on corporations in
lieu of the present excess profit tax;
readjustment of income tax rates so
that no income will pay more than
forty per cent this year and thirty-fve
per cent thereafter; repeal of the So
called luxury taxes and the taxes on
soft drinks, and imposition of suf-
ficient new and additional taves of wide
application, such as increased stamp
taxes or license taxes on the use of
automobiles to bring the total revenue
from taxes to four billion dollars after

Mr.. Mellon also made known to the
committees the treasury policy of re-
funding outstanding short term debts,
including the victory notes into gov
eminent securities maturing between
1925 and 1923 as the solution of the
problem OF meeting maturities aggre-
eating $7,5OO,0OO in the next thirty
months. The program outlined by Mr..
Mellon contemplated actual retirement
of the short term debt as hole by
the time the third Liberty Loan falls
due in 1928.
