AGREE
TO NEW SUR-TAy PEAK
Propose To Make Maximum la
New Revenue Bill 81 IL
Per Cent

WASHINGTON, February 10
House Republican leaders have de-
termined to boost the propos-
ed maximum surtax rate in the
revenue bill to 81 IL PEI cent IN
an effort to break the deadlock u
negotiations with the insurgents
who hold the balance of power III
the vote on the income rate sche-
dulles which were taken up %
day. The Republicans previously
had receded from the Mellon rate
of 25 per cent carried in the Dill
and had centered ON 35 per cent III
an effort to unite the party against
the Democratic stand for IA per
cent maximum. The 35 per cert
rate, leaders said. would win 2OS
Republican votes, ten less than a
majority. Two conferences yestcs-
day with the insurgent group, now
ever, failed to bring an agreement
the organization led by Representa-
ti4es Frear and Nelson, Wisconsin,
holding out for a forty per cent sur
tax rate and a reduction OF My
per cent in the normal income taxes.
The Mellon rates call for 20 per
cent reduction in the normal taxes.
Republican organization leaders IN
sisted to day they would not con-
sent to the added normal tax redu1-
tions, which are the same as those
proposed by the Democrats, because
treasury estimates had shown such
a cut would reduce revenue receipts
below the estimated surplus on
which tax revision is to be base J.
Representative Beeg, Republican,
Ohio, who conducted a poll of the
Republican delegation as to their
views on the income tax schedules,
said today at least four of the in
surgent group, which. he declared
numbered ten votes must be won
over in the conference, which will
be resumed tomorrow if the Repub-
licans expect to defeat the Demo
cratic plan.
Democrats are bound by party
caucus vote to support the income
rate schedules advanced by Repre-
sentative Garner, Texas, and their
leaders predict all but a few Of the
207 members in the House will be
present when the vote Is taken.
General debate on the measure
will close at i O'Clock under agree
ment. Chairman Green, -ef-the
ways and means cdmn1ittee, in
charge Of the bin for the majority
and Representative Garner, leading
the Democratic fight, expect TO start
the reading OF the measure i'm
mediately thereafter. The first part
OF the bill, over which practically
no differences have developed, mag
be finished before Tuesday Al
that time the income rates viii pe
taken up for amendment.

have to start on IN the morning be-
fore Sun-up,N good-nights were said
early. Ruth, however, stayed after
the men had gone TO think over her
troubles in the glow from the hres
place Her WEAKNESS overcame her
worries and she dozed, the COM
pass and map falling from her
hand.
Har2er, who had been waiting
and watching outside the window,
recognized this as his opportunity.
Silently he stole into the house
through the window; he made
quick study of the chart and then
opened Pendleton's compass and
put therein a small magnet.
Thus it was that evening of the
next day found Ruth and Bruce
miles off their course and their
canteen empty. According to the
compass and the chart water hole
should have been near at hand.
Ruth was too exhausted to sit upon
her horse-she slipped to the sand.
His throat parched, his tongue
thick, Bruce wandered around in
futile search for the water hole.
But the water hole was twenty
miles away There Judith landed
her airpiane, Harper re-filled their
canteens, and they continued on.
But trouble with the control gear
forced Judith to land before they
had overtaken their victims. For
minute it looked as though their
plans were frustrated for, in land
ing, the plane was wrecked, but
they found Ruth's and Bruce's
horses, which had wandered away.
Bruce lay PROSTATE upon the hot
sand. He had given the largest
share of the days supply of water
to Ruth and was far more exhaust
than she, who, however, had been
too weak to wonder at the appear
ance of Harper and Judith.
Judith displayed her canteen.
'I'lf give you water and direct you
out of the desert if you'll sign this
paper agreeing to stop the manu-
facture OF Ruelite," Judith offered
the helpless girl
Never! Id rather die frstp'
Ruth answered
Then she looked at Bruce-she
had no right to leave him to die
to deliberately sacrifice his life.
mo, no! can't let him die like
that! For his sake I'll do as you
ask" she said.S a
Her hand faltered over the sig
nature, but her determination was
mistaken though her act meant the
end of all her hopes. She snatched
the canteen from Judith and first
poured the water between Bruce's
stiff lips. She was about to as
suage her own thirst when the can
teen was grabbed from her by
Harper, who poured the water on
the sand at the feet of the tor
tured girl.

The huge boulder sent hurting,
crashing down the hill by Black
Harper, in an effort to Illustrate
Bruce Burton's attempt to rescue
his sweetheart, Ruth Remington,
hit a. stump that sent it flying
through the air in an arc, fortunate-
ly missing Bruce and landing in
the road where Captain X had
stood a second before quickly
lodging it.
Failing in this, Harper, employed
by the Olympus Coal Company
and also an agent of Manhalla, I'M
tied the rope at the other end of
which Ruth dangled about twenty
five feet from the road. Seeing his
action, Bruce swung over until he
was directly beneath Ruth so that,
when she fell, he caught her in his
strong arms. Quickly they slid
down the rope.
Again Harper had failed But
if he could be the first to see John
Pendleton who.3as an executor, had
virtual control OF ths Remington
estate, he could try another idea.
He spurred his horse.

fellow of few words, listened at.

known visitor.

Pendleton knit his heavy brows
That's rather unusual statement"
Its an unusual situation Harp
er replied.
"Hmm-I'll have to give the
matter- careful consideration no
said and dismissed his caller.
Ruth Remington, confident that
her fathers friend would help her
further his work, was greatly sur
prised and puzzled when he re-
fused her request.
He told her of his visitor. BE

work in safer locality"
But that's impossible!" said
Ruth. The basic ingredient for

AS a last argument Ruth gave a

But, even if we could manufac4
