One fault we have found with Coach Cassidy is his refusal to put substitutes into the game when the contest is safe. It would be a good idea to give some or the second string material a chance on the team for a game may come when it will be necessary to use these subs and if they are untricd the result of the experiment will not be en- couraging.

that of man feet IL inches in

Repeal of Capital
Stock Tax Voted
By Senate, IS to 4

washington, Feb. 2.-(AP)-Repeal
of the capital stock tax and an in
crease of per cent. on the present 121
per cent. corporation levy to balance
this action was voted today by the Sem
ate in disposing of its first controver-
sial item in the tax reduction bill.
The proposal, which was recon-
mended by the finance committee, di-
vided the Senate on party lines. Demo-
Gratis voting almost solidly against the
increase in the corporation tax. which
was approved AZ to 35. Repeal of the
capital stock levy, however, was then
approved IS to 4.
Although other fights are in pros
pect this is expected to prove the only
one along strictly party lines Be-
fore the day was over both parties had
divided among themselves on the ques-
ton of surtax reduction, the "regu-
lars Of each supporting cut in the
maximum rate from 40 to 20 per cent.
while others on both sides of the aisle
contended for higher maximum rate
applying on the. higher incomes.
With vote apparently near on the
important surtax schedule, recess
was taken until tomorrow. when Chair

in charge of the bill. az ,ounced he

another six-hour day in an effort to
speed up action Of the measure.
Another move looking toward speed
ing up will be taken tomorrow by the
finance committee, which will meet 20
consider more than 40 amendments TO
the bills which have been submitted
in the hope that some agreement can
be reached to avoid lengthy discussion.
Voicing the opposition of Demo-
Gratis to the proposed increase in the
corporation tax. which the bill would
make effective on corporation incomes
of 1925, Senator Simmons of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat on the f.
nance committee, arguel It was unfair
to make the increase retroactive since
the repeal of the capital stock tax
would not become effective until June
80 of this year.
Senator Smoot replied that the
change would not force corporations
to pay any more taxes this year than
they would under the present law, and
insisted IL the corporation lev ywere
not increased as proposed. the pro-
vision would cause S60,000.000 loss
to the government this calendar year.
Seven Republicans-Fess (Ohio),
Frazier North Dakota). McMaster
(South Dakota), McNary and Stanf1eld
(Oregon). Moses New Hampshire( and
Weller (Mary1and)-voted against the
increase in the corporation levy.
Three Democrats-Bruce MARY
land), Hendricks (Wyoming) and Shep-
pard (Texas)-voted with the Repub-
licans for the increase.
Those voting against repeal of the
capital stock tax were: Tess Of Ohio,
and McMaster of South Dakota, Re-
publicans: Wheeler. Democrat. of Mon

COLBY HEAD SILENT
ON EXPULSION AND
SUSPENSION z CO--EDS

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Waterville, Feb. DIR. Arthur ].
Roberts. president Of Colby College,
had nothing to say today when ques-
toned as to story published in a
Boston newspaper concerning disci-
plinary action of the college authori-
ties. The two women students at
the institution, Miss Edythe Sims of
Harwich. Mass, who was expelled,
and Miss Frances Hall of Brooklyn,
N. Y, who was suspended for a
month for an alleged gay dinner
party at the Young China restaurant
on the evening of January "a, have
left the city, Miss Sims going to her
home several days ago and Miss Hall
going to the summer home of her
guardian in Winthrop yesterday.
At the time Of the party the girls
are said to have been in the COM
pany with Clement Gregoire and
Frederick Ellis, both of Augusta,
who have been prominent as ath-
letes in Maine preparatory schools.
The manager of the restaurant said
yesterday that the four had been to
his establishment a number of times
in the past and as their conduct had
not been at all times orderly he had
instructed the mattresses there not
to serve them. A week ago Sunday
they were at the table of waitress
who did not know them and they
remained for more than an hour.
The girls were notified to leave the
college some time ago but were al
lowed to remain until the mid-year
examinations came to an end last
Saturday. The matter hadoattracted
but little attention, either on the col
1ege campus or around the city.
