RULE UPHELD

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 21.-

marriage of divorced persons has
been upheld by the Methodist Gen
eral Conference. Efforts to amend
the law in order to make its ap-
plication less stringent failed.
A memorial from the California
Conference brought the divorce
question to the front; can minis
ter be brought to trial who has re-
married after a divorce obtained on
other than scriptural grounds?
Judge Henry Wade Rogers, chair
man of the Judiciary committee. de-
clared that the church regards such
marriage as illegal although ap-
proved by the State.
IF you don't like the law, of the
church, then change it," said Judge
Rogers.

ment this morning on the tax re-

Tho Simmons schedule accepted
provide n maximum surtax of 40
per cont on incomes in excess of
S500,000 and reduces the normal
taxes on incomes under $4,000 by

hope that President Coolidge would
find the bill acceptable without the
publicity and corporation proposals.

these two points to render the
measure unobjectionable to the
President.
The House provision for 40 per
cent increase on estate taxes and
the imposition of tar on gifts with
rates similar to the estate levies
were accepted.
