the Republicans of the committee, led
by the valiant Mr.. Smoot of Utah,
veteran Senate financier and econo-
mist will retire and draw up it's theory
of what the tax burden should be.
The Democratic members of the
committee. feeling their oats from
their last victory in a tax clash, also
will retire and draft their own. partic-
ular bill for the relief of the people
1t is safe to say the two bills will be
rather far apart.
After this performance is concluded
the real fight DeEins-on the Senate
floor. 1t will then develop whether
the Democrats have succeeded in so
shaping their measure as to attract
surgent, unbranded Republicans and
Farmer-Laborltes. If they have, then
the administration or regular Repub-
lican bill is doomed. The Democrats
and their cohorts of the Senate will
be able to force their views upon the
upper house and will be successful in
carrying these same views through
the conference with the members of
the House of Representatives.
Thus while the forthcoming House
bin will be interesting and important
in its way, the people need not figure
their income payments for the next
year until they hear, some months
later, from the greatest deliberative
body in the world-the United States
Senate. This is the same body that
Vice President Dawes would like to
KICK in the slats-a difficult and
thankless task.

CUST0DIAN'S PLEA
Justice McReynolds Criticizes
Appeal for Claims Payment at
Marks Low Value.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Alien Property Custodian was
criticized in the Supreme Court yester-
day by Justice McReynolds for sup
porting the contention that Germans
should be permitted to pay their debts
to American citizens on the basis of
exchange prevailing after the war when
the mark was practically worthless
in American currency.
Justice McReynolds asked why the
Government should appear when it
was not necessarily Il party to the
suit and when its contentious would
result in American creditors receiving
substantially nothing In satisfaction
of their claims.
Counsel for the property custodian
declared that officer wanted the sane
ton Of the court upon methods to be
followed in the payment of the claims.
He insisted that had the war resulted
In the defeat of the allies American
creditors would then have supported
the position which the custodian now
takes. At the beginning of the war
the German mark had an exchange
value of about 18 cents. After the war
it fell to about 1-25, ,000th of a cent

URGENT NEED OF FUNDS
FOR CANAL BANK ROAD
Northeastern Section Can Profit
But Little BY Nirginia's
New Highway

The lack of funds To build an I'M
proved highway along the banks of
the Dismal Swamp canal from
South Mills To the Virginia line to
meet the road now being construct
rd by that state from Portsmouth.
has been strongly emphasized this
month. The prolonged spell of rainy
weather has practically suspended
traffic on this stretch OF road.
Mcpherson Bus Line Opcratin" be-
tween Elizabeth city and Norfolk
has suspended operations. until
probably February -. or March !.
and tourists report that travel is
almost impossible on The dctOurS in
use while Virginia is completing its
road.
II will be recalled HAT Il great
huIlalal0o and cry was raised be
caIlSc Virginia was so slow about
Siartin" work on the read. while
North Carolina interests assured
that stale. that the road would b'
met at the Virginia line when the
road from Portsmouth got there.
And after Virginia started work. it
developed that North Carolina had
no POUNDS TO build its part Of the
road. leaving North CarOlinianS m-
able Ia profit by the highway, or the
tourists il might bring in. Virginia
has put about S3JO.OOO in the road
which is expected to be completed
the last of February. With Cover
nor Mclean exhibiting little inter
crest toward building more roads. it
looks like hard work ahead TO get
funds to build the road from South
Mills to the Virginia line.
