PREPARING FOR

Leaders of Both Parties at
Work on Plans.

Washington.-A virtual agreement
for a caucus Immediately after the
holidays to agree upon program for
tax reduction legislation has been
reached by leaders Of both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties.
Democratic senators and represen-
tatiyes will hold a joint meeting just
before congress reconvenes. 1t devel-
oped that Republican leaders In the
house have plan that is rapidly TAX
ing definite form for caucus immedi-
sately after the holidays.
Democratic leaders are disturbed
over the OBJECTIONS in their ranks in
favor of the Mellon plan and they
hope to block any further commit
ments by Democratic members of con-
gress
The prime movers for the Demo-
cratic gathering are those who fear
that the Democratic senators and rep
resentatives can no longer be held in
line for partisan measure. They
propose to make one grand effort to
whip the rank and file of the party
in congress into line for a purely do
nestle tax cut to differ in some I'M
certain way from the Mellon plan.
Republican leaders are going ahead
with plans to rush through tax re-
vision program along the lines pro-
posed by Secretary Mellon.

TRANSPORTATION
SERIOUS PROBLEM
United States Commerce Ex-
perts to Discuss Needs
of Traffic.

Washington.-A call for national
conference on transportation has just
been issued by the United States
Chamber of Commerce to be held IN
Washington the second week OF jan
uary. Leaders of recognized standing
in agricultural commercial, education
81, financial and industrial fields nave
been invited to take part in its de-
alterations and the discussion OF prob
lens involved in development OF ade-
Quate national transportation system.
The chamber of commerce believes
that the expanding transportation
needs of the United States present q
very serious problem that must be
solved within the near future.
Congress embarked upon a conserv-
alive policy for the development OF
transportation by the enactment OF the
transportation act Of 1920 said JUL
us FL. Barnes, president of the cham
Der, "but there is much more to De
done if this policy is to be made ell
fective, The expanding transporta-
ton needs Of America can easily pc
visualized and must be solved so that
national wealth and individual pro-
ductioE may be marketed into con-
sumption. All production, outside OF
the agricultural and industrial. is de-
pendent on adequate and ready dis
tribution."
Here are some of the questions 10
be considered at the conference;
What is the probable future Of trans
portation growth?
What principles of regulation, fed
eral and state, protects the public IN
terest and yet encourage expansion!
What policies promise to attract the
necessary capital and credit?
What principles of rate making hold
most fairly the scale Of relative
rates?
Where does highway and motor
transport promise its highest service!
How can water highways contrib
ute their fullest service2
Within what formula can all trans
portation develop best the stimulant
of private initiative and enterprise in
the very interest of expanding serv-
Ice and the utmost economy Of opera
ton?

METEORIC COUP
OF YOUNG WOOD
Wall Street Stunned at
Strange Story of Tip
Sellers Success.

New York.-The sudden fortune won
by Lieut.. Osborn Wood, son of Gen.
Leonard Wood, as told in cables from
Manila, resulted in a reaction of amaze
ment in Wall street.
That a twenty six-year-old army Of
fcer, IMMERSED in the ways of "the
street." could rush in and grab off
such chunk of money, estimated at
100000 perhaps much more-was
surprising enough of itself, but what
really stunned old operators was that
young Wood, thousands of miles away
in the Philippines, apparently was car
rying out his financial program solely
on the advice of a comparatively I'M
known "tipster," a professional who
sells his service.
There are several developments Of
interest in the affair One was the
confirmation by Secretary Of War
Weeks of the report that it was on his
suggestion that Lieutenant Wood
brought a sudden halt to his Wall
street ventures.
Some months ago." Secretary
Weeks said in Boston, "there was
brought to my attention the fact that
large checks were coming through
American banks to the credit of Lieut..
Osborne G. Wood, who is stationed in
Manila.
The amounts involved seemed to
me to be beyond the probable financial
responsibility of the lieutenant, and, as
he was an officer in the army, direct
ed that his operations should stop.
This order was Immediately complied
with"
While the War department has de-
cided there is no necessity for an in
quiry, it is forecast in Washington
that congressional inquiry now be-
ing urged by Representative Frear
(Rep., Wis.J, will touch upon young
Woods coup. Frear's resolution calls
for an inquiry on General Woods con-
duct of Philippine affairs and aims
also at determining whether any Amer
lean army officers made money in Phil
ippine speculations. Lieutenant Wood
insists his fliers were all in American
stocks.
