TAX CUTS FOR.
IS.
RECOGNIZE
Business and Professional
Women Ask Increased
Exemptions.
TAKE TESTIMONY
Emphasize Injustice Done
Single Persons in Taxa
ton Plan.

WASHINGTON Nov H9.-For
the first time in years, the house
ways and means committee devoted
practically an entire session today to
consideration of the direct tax on
individual incomes without single
witness advocating reduction in the
levies, although a recommendation
was received that the exemption
granted single persons should be in
creased from $500 to $500.
During the writing of the last. two
revenue laws, the individual income
rates, which directly affect the pocket
books of millions of taxpayers, we're
the center of debate and today was
in marked contrast with the meeting
two years ago, when the levies were
being considered.
The move for increased exemption
for single persons was sponsored by
the National Federation of Business
and Professional Women's clubs, rep
resented by Lena M Phillips of New
York City, Martha l.. Connole or East
ST. Louis, Ills, and Cornella Adair
of Richmond Va Their appearance
marked the first time in the memory
OF committee clerks that women had
testified before a committee OF con-
gress on revenue matters.
Miss Connole argued that the aver
age married man or head of a family
now enjoys a 130 per cent better po-,
sition in the matter OF exemptions
than during the war, and about 20
per cent better than before the war,
while the exemption allowed single
persons is only one-half OF what it
was before the war.
"The injustice done single persons
is emphasized by the fact that the
treasury has each year unnecessarily
collected about $600,0O0000 over and
above the governments needs" she
said.
The witness also held that num-
Der of single persons contribute to
the fanily's support in some way,
and argued that most of them came
within the lower income levels.
About 100000 single persons pay
an income tax, Miss Phillips testi-
fled, and their average tax does not
exceed 50.
"It is obvious that it costs more
to collect this tax than it brings to
the government she continued.
"None of what they pay goes into
the federal treasury and we think
that this should be considered IN
bringing about more just and fair
exemption for this class OF taxpay-
ers''
After Miss Connole and Miss Phil
lips had completed their testimony,
the former asked the committee
it had any questions. When none
OF the members spoke up, Miss Phil
lips insisted that 1--WE want some
questions" and then Miss Connole
spoke up to say that if the com
mittee did not ask any questions
she would feel that no attentlon
would be paid to her testimony
1--WE assure you that we won't let
you alone, if you do that" she
warned.
Isaac w. Frank, Pittsburgh, Pa,
advocated that all incomes devoted
by persons to philanthropic purposes
be exempted from taxation.

THOROUGHNEss- IN ROAD BUILDING

MOTORISTS returning from trip the Moose Pass h highway constructed by the Bureau of Public Roads, report the average speed of motor the greater portion of the road is 30 miles an hour.
 When it is taken into consideration that most of the roadway traverses foothil country, with many curves this speaks well for the in which the work has been done
 In point of scenic beauty it is debateable if there is another mountain region of America offering more that pleasing the eyes As expressed by tourist who is spending few weeks in the Pass country it is minging of rugged grandeur and soothing influences, with wide lands carpeted with verdre
 Absence of extensive rock work and with immense gravel banks has made it possible to combine great econo my with perfection of construction in the perfect roadbed
 The value of this road in it's influence upon develop ment between Moose Pass Saton Sunrise and Hope, if connected up with the Seward-Kenia Lake road, is almost inesmable Not only does the road pass through scenic beauties but raverses country rich in placer and lode deposits containing many millions of dollars in wealth.

GROUND MEN VITAL TRANS OCEAN HOPS;
 SERVICE ENGINEERS
MUST BE CONTENT WITH RE- ELECTED GLORY; TWO NOW
 IN EUROPE

NEW YORK, Aug. 1. (P)-There are heroes down below" in trans-oceanic flights as we'll as in naval battles.
 Ground fliers' they are, engineers and mechanicians, twentieth century grooms to the steeds of the air, who sometimes must travel 5000 miles by water so that the trans-oceanic plane may fly back again. Two such men, typical messengers of modern times, sailed fro France recently to help re- condition the transatlantic plane Co., lumbia for it's return flight with Mau- rice Drouhin, French aviator, and Charles A. Levine.
 One was Thomas Harold Doe" Kin kake, who as field service engineer for the Wright Aeronautical Corpora tion, helped tune and groom the Ame- rica, Commander Bryds plane. The other was John Carfsi, chief mecha- nician of the Columbia Aircraft Cor poration, who toiled to prepare the Co., lumbia, flown by Chamberlin and Le- vine.
 During and after the flights, both had to be contend with only such pale rays of reflected glory as came their way. But probably the aviators them selves worked with no more eager en- thusiasm than they. Remaining on land they shared the suspense of the fliers at sea, in much the same way as the traner of the racehorse watch es the jockey race his mount.
 Carisi went to France by sea, in the wake of the machine he helped make ready, carrying spare parts for it's re pair Kinkake, grievously disappoint- ed when he could not stow away on Bryd's flight, sailed to help recondi- tion the America, holding the hope that he might fly back. He was doom ed to disappointment again. Later he was commissioned to go over the en- zine of the Columbia.
