FAVOR BILLS TO TAX
NATIONAL BANKS
Senate Committeeman Act to
Assure Assessment Rights
of States.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
WashingtOn, ID. C.. Dec. u.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C., Dec. ~.
Two bills to provide for State taxing
of national banks were informally ap-
proved to-day by the Senate Banking
and Currency Committee. One amends
the national banking act>to make 1t law
ful for States to tax national banks
without restriction. The other would
validate bank taxes in all the States
A Supreme Court decision a year ago
held that, because of the restrictive
provisions of the national banking act,
States could not collect taxes from ma
t'onal banks on real or intangible prop
crty at a rate in excess of that assessed
against individuals. AS a result of this
ruling national banks in New York alone
recovered about S20,000,O00 in taxes which
they had paid. Recoveries were made in
many States.
Senators Kellogg (Minn) and Wads-
worth On. Y.) joined in presenting bill
to correct the situation. This bill, how
ever. slumbered in the Banking and Cur
rency Committee for several months
while various States We're registering
violent protests with Congress.
Last week Senator kellogg served no.
t'ce on the Senate that he would ask
discharge of the Banking and Currency
Committee from consideration of the
legislation unless report were made
by yesterday. To-day's action by the
committee approves not only the correc-
tive measure but provides for recovery
by the States of tax funds and validates
all taxes assessed in the past. The bills
will be drafted in final form by Senator
Reed at the committees request.
x The original provision of the. national
banking act was designed to d4ter State
= ri In faN he, ,,l g
existence, 1t had outlived its usefulness
and was so worded that many of the
States, because Of their real and intan-
gible property tax laws. could collect
nothing from national banks. while
state banks We're heavily taxed

PANCHO VILLA FIT
TO TACKLE MARTIN
Injured Ankle OK, Flyweight
Champion Will Box in
Garden Tonight.
ny CHARLES F. MArHIsoN.

Pancho Villas twisted ankle yielded
10 treatment yesterday and after boxing
with his sparring partners in Grupps
Gymnasium he announced that his un-
derpinning felt all right and he would
be ready for his bout tonight in Madi-
son Square Garden with Terry Martin.
1t appears that Villas manager be-
came unduly alarmed over the slight
accident to the champions foot and gave
expression to the fear that the Filipino
might not be able to box. According TO
DIR. Hanley, who attended the title
holder. the injury was trivial and read
lily mended under treatment. This turn
of affairs was a great relief to Pro-
moter Tex Rickard, as the time allowed
in which to find suitable substitute
was very short.
lively and exciting contest, and the re-
suit should be close.
In addition to the main bout Hugh
Hutchinson and Babe Herman VIII meet
in ten round encounter; Pickles Martin
will try conclusions with Jimmy Carroll
In six round affair. and Al Brown and
Charlie Ryder will open proceedings
with four round bout.
Wolf Larsen and Billy Shade are
carded for the chief event at the Pioneer
Sporting Club next Tuesday night, but
they will be compelled to trot rapidly IL
they arouse as much interest as Alex
Scliar and Jerry Kenny in the opening
event Of four rounds. Scliar. as the
representative of Union Settlement. won
the light heavyweight amateur title Of
New York State in the Madison Square
Garden tourney. He is hitter OF the
Dempsey type. and Kenny will need an
adamantine jaw.
Jack sharkey will get into action with
Irish Johnny Curtin in the Fourth Regi-
ment Armory, Jersey City, January 8
in a twelve round bout. Curtin will
prove a problem for Sharkey.
Danny Edwards. best of the negro
bantams, will match skill and speed with
Abe Goldstein tomorrow night at the
Commonwealth Sporting Club.
There are plenty of good boxers In the
city at present, and any promoter de-
string to make matches would have no
trouble getting excellent material IL he
went to the Garden Gym. Among the
men training there at present are four

The fire loss for 1921 exceeded that Of
any previous year in the history of the
United States, according to the National
Fire Protection Association, of Boston,
Mass. While final figures are not avail

billion dollars. In spite Of the steady
development of fire fighting science and
equipment and fire protection engineer
ing there has been steadily increasing
fire loss year after year. The figures
are now reaching such tremendous pro-

fed in making an appeal to all persons
in position toinform the public, to make
n sustained effort during the present
year to spread the gospel of fire proven

education is the most important factor
at the present time toward reduction
Of fire losses Ii is safe TO say that
over seventy-hve per cent of this waste
is preventable. Public indifference, care

most of our fire. Consider the chief
