Tended by Republicans in a lively
partisan tilt in the senate, Wednesday.
Earlier the senate finance committee
had reported favorably the four nomi-
nations-Secretary Hughes and Secre-
tary Herbert Hoover, Senator Smoot
(Republican) of Utah and Representa-
tive Burton (Republican) Of Ohio.

commission was expressed by Senator
Simmons Of North Carolina, ranking
Democrat and former chairman Of the
senate finance committee. Senators
Walsh Of Montana, Hefiin of Alabama,
williams of Mississippi and McKellar
of Tennessee were other Democrats
who criticised the appointments. while
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, the
Republican leader, and Senator kellogg
(Republican) Of Minnesota defended
them, Senator Walsh announced that

BROKERAGE FIRM FAILS
John Burke Formerly United States
Treasurer Lost All.
(To be Continued.)

John Burke Formerly United States
Treasurer Lost All.
Liabilities of the brokerage firm OF
Kardos and Burke, which last We'd
nesday night went into the hands Of a
receiver were variously estimated in
New York, Thursday at from 100000
TO $1,5O0,OO0. John Burke, former
treasurer of the United States, whose
signature appeared on bank notes is-
sued from. early in 1913. until his re-
signation little more than year ago,
declared he had lost everything in the
collapse of the business. Bankers who
had been associated with him In bus
mess were quoted as asserting their
belief that he was an innocent dupe
in the development Of the amazing Sit
uation revealed by the failure.
Legal evidence against a number Of
firms that are members Of the New
York Stock Exchange, might, 1t was
intimated, be the sequel of the fall Of
the house of Kardos and Burke. It
was indicated that If these suits were
successful, the firm might pay it, cre-
ditors dollar for dollar.
John Burke was three times gov
ernor of North Dakota before becom-
ing treasury secretary of the United
States in March 1913. His partner,
Louis Montgomery Kardos, was 4 poor
immigrant from Hungary nine years
ago and found his first employment in
the financial district as a $40 a. week
messenger. The firm had branches in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Pittsburgh, st. Louis and other cities

When that was finished, she gath
cred them up and, ax INLAND, climbed
into the willow tree and onto the
roof. Daddy Hopkins would be glad
when he came home and found the
shack dry ard warm. Then she began
her task of hammerlng the pietes OF
tin over the holes through which the
water dripped. Once Id while she
stopped working, and, fiat on her stom-
ach, sought for smaller cracks.
Just as she had mended the last
hole, she heard the sound Of horses
hoofs and mems voices. With the fear
Of the prosecuted, she cyouched c'ose
to the roof. and like some frightened
animal, crawled to the edge Of 1t.
Squatters did not speak like that,
neither did they ride horseback.
There in the lane, astride two mag
nificent animals, were two men. One
she recognized instantly. Polly had
every reason to know the tall man
whose dark, handsome face had cast
deep shadows over the Silent City.
Marcus Mackenzie had been for years
the Nemesis that hung over the Cayu-
ga lake squatters. Even during his
absence on war work abroad, his long
arm had often reached back to the
Silent City to pick away some hus-
band. and close the prison gates be-
hind him.
Pollyop had passionate desire to
throw the aX at him. She knew there
was not Il heart in all the Silent City
that did not beat with dread at the
very mention of his name.
Then she caught glimpse of the
other mans face and forgot her terror
of Marcus Mackenzie. In Ithaca and
about 1t she had seen many soldiers
but never anyone like MacKenZie's
companion. He was dressed in an Of
ficer'S uniform, and, as his horse
whirled him into better view, the
frown faded from Pollyop's brow as
she gaZed wOnderingly upon. him. She
! marked his flashing glances that
swept the Silent City. She noted with
a strange little thrill the beauty Of the
clearcut features, the full, kindly
mouth and the smooth, tanned skin.
Marcus Mackenzie was speaking
rapidly, and though Polly could not
hear what he said, she knew he was
/ talking of the Squatters. Then words
that made her tingle with JOY came
distinctly to her ears.
''But you can't turn a lot Of folks
out of their homes, Marc" rang forth
deep, rich voice. "Where under the
heaven would they go if you did?"
"Anywhere they d--n please" "
snarled Mackenzie cOntemptuOusly.

INCOME TAX FACTS

Changes in the revenue law are of
material benefit to the average family
man. Under the revenue act of 1921
a married person, living with wife or
husband, whose net income for 1921
was $4,000 or less, is allowed a per-
sonal exemption of $4,000. JnGer the
evenue act of 1918 the exemption al
lowed a married person was $4,000, re-
gardless of the amount Of net income.
The normal tax rate is the same, 4
per cen on the first $4,000 of net in
come above the exemptions, and s per
cent on the remaining net income.
Given his personal exemption of $4,000
plus $500 for each dependent, a mar
ried mar with three fhildren-the
average American family-will pay
this year on a net income of $4,000 a
tax of $12. On the same income for
1921 he would have paid a tax of $56.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for him
self whether his income for 1921 was
sufficient to require that a return be
filed. Full instructions for making out
a return are contained on the forms, a
copy of which will be sent to taxpayers
who filed a return last year. Failure
to receive a return, however, does not
relieve a taxpayer of his obligation to

enue and branch offices.

State Gets Large Amount

Pierre, Feb. 3.-The inheritance tax

amounted to $199, 5S7.34.
The collections would have been
larger if forced, but in several cases
the parties have been given permission
to pay interest on the deferred pay
ments up to the time of final payment,
as to make the payments in full would
force them to secure loans to make the
payments to the state.
These will increase the payments to
the state when the money can be Sc
cured.
The payments in detail were: South
