TAX PLAN OFFERED
BY i. S. CHAMBER
PROGRAM Sent President Calls
for Repeal of Excise and
Inheritance Levies.
By the Associated Press.

A tax revision program which
would include overhauling the cor
poration tax and repeal Of the excise
and inheritance levies was placed be-
fore President Coolidge today by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States.
Without mentioning the White
House plan for an income tax refund,
already a matter Of active controversy

fatty that the tax burden should be
reduced when it is next possible to
make a revision Of our tax program" I"
Farm Relief Urged.
In addition, the chamber declared
something should be done for agricul-
ture along lines of demonstrated
soundness, that radio legislation like
that embodied in the House bill
should be enacted and that legislation
to remove obstacles to railroad con-
solidation should constitute one Of
the most important activities" Of the
approaching session Of Congress.
The chamber indorsed the Madden
branch banking bill. the French war
debt settlement. the Lausanne treaty
with Turkey, revision OF the law to
facilitate importation Of Cuban to-
bill increasing the salaries Of Federal
judges, asked for adjustment Of the
postal service and postal rates on q
scientific basis.
The chambers recommendations
were placed before Mr.. Coolidge by
John J. O'Leary. president of the or
ganization, who described them as rep
resenting the composite sentiment OF
business men throughout the country.
Individual Treatment Urged
The section devoted to farm ques-
tions declared the logical approach to
a solution lay in individual treatment
of the various farm industries rather
than in blanket consideration Of ag-
riculture as q whole.
The cotton problem" said the
chambers findings, "is a problem

merce Department. as at present, and
frowned on the creation of a special

.HERR|N IS SEEKING
/. LATEST ASSASS|NS
May0r and Governor Still at
Odds Over Question of
Calling Militia.
BY the Associated Press.

HERRIN, ILL.,, November 15.-At-
tempts to determine the identity OF
gunner, who claimed another victim
Saturday night, occupied the time Of
Williamson County officials today,
while Mayor Marshall Mccormack
and Gov. Len Small continued at
variance as to the best method of
curbing the gang situation in this
territory
The latest victim was Claude Craig.
35, a coal miner. whose body was
found early yesterday near a road
house in the outskirts of town, oper-
ated by a man known as big Swede.'
Craigs body had been pierced by
both buckshot and revolver bullets.
County authorities, lacking clues, ex-
pressed the opinion that the coal
miner did not come to his death at
the hands of either the Birger or
Shelton gangs, for he had not been
known to associate with either
Sought Military Court.
The difference Of opinion developed
after Mayor Mccormack made public a
letter to the governor, in which he
declared that the establishment OF a
military court was the only solution
Of the gang problem. The letter was
directed to Gov. Small before last
Friday, when the governor failed to
recommend military measures after
conference at Springfield with the
mayor and National Guard officials,
but its contents previously had not
been revealed by Mccormack.
The mayor wrote: THE gangs have
reached such proportions that no
sheriff, regardless Of his efforts, can
relieve the condition. The prosecu-
ton Of these outlaws is equally i'm
possible, as no citizen will produce
evidence while these gangs are at
large, for fears of their own lives
being taken and no prosecuting at
torney could live who attempted 1t.
Civil Authorities Fail.
II have tried from every angle to
| work out some hopeful solution and
| the best minds of southern Illinois
have put their efforts into it, only
| to find 1t lost in dismal failure. There
| is no man in Williamson County who
| believes civil authorities can ever
meet the existing conditions" Intimi-
dation Of witnesses, he declared. was
one reason for failure Of civil author
tiles to succeed in Investigations.
Gov. Small in reply asserted that
| the people of southern Illinois can
not expect protection until they are
prepared to help give protection"
He asserted that the murders here
| would have occurred regardless Of the
presence Of troops. and that the serv-
| ice Of National Guardsmen was not
necessary unless civil authority had
! collapsed This condition. he said, he
| believed did not exist.
Hope for ultimate solution of the
problem was visioned In the declara-
ton of the Governor that 80 per cent
of the people in southern Illinois are
law-abding and that the trouble
makers come from elsewhere.

Testimony already is at hand to
show that the plea Of the District Of

which was broadcast to the country
from the City Club Saturday night, Is
bearing fruit.
Telephone calls have come to the
City Club from persons at various
points outside of Washington telling
OF the reception Of the program by

pressing keen interest in the vote

the Capital City, as graphically de-
scribed by speakers Saturday eve
ming.
A citizen Of Richmond. Va, tele-
Dhoned II. j. Odenthal. executive sec
l'etary OF the City Club, declaring the
speeches he listened to Sunday
brought to him for the first time the
realization that so many people In
Washington have no voice in Con
gress or in presidential elections. This
man said that 20 persons had listened
TO the appeal with him and had been
impressed by the justice OF 1t.
First Clear Explanation.
From Newcastle, Pa, came another
call from listener who told Mr.. Oden-
thai that he had known Of the situa-
zion In a general way, but that 1t
was the first clear explanation he
had heard Of what the District is ask
ing, namely, representation IN Con-
gress and in the electoral college.
The distances to which the plea was
carried by the ther waves was indi-
Gated by a message from a resident
Of Frostburg, Md, who explained that
the speeches were picked up by an
tn,
,elayed through three other amateurs
the information that he had heard the
program.
A labor organization in Scranton.
Pa. also telephoned the City Club that
st had heard the appeal.
Late Saturday night a business
man walked into the City Club and
told Mr.. Odenthal he was In Philadel-
phia early in the evening and had
heard the representation appeal on a
radio just before boarding his train
for Washington. He said he wanted
the club to know how well it had been
received on the air outside Of the
District.
Many Thousands Hear Plea.
While there is no way Of determin'
ing how large an unseen audience
listened to the plea for aid in the Ma
tional representation movement. Off
cials Of the City Club expressed con-
fidence today that Washington's re-
quest for cooperation reached the ears
Of hundreds of thousands Of citizens In
the States.
In addition to the message from
out t-of-t town, Mr.. Odenthal said the
club was besieged with telephone calls
from Washingtonians who had list
ened in and who called to commend
