Administrative F eatures

Row Between Houses
COMMITTEE FAILS TO

Report Being Prepared for
Joint Committee for
October Sessions

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Re-
vision of the administrative fea-
lures of the present tax law Is
a problem which is expected to
give the new Congress almost as
much trouble as thas Of deciding
what rates are TO be lowered an!
the amount of the reductions.
A solution OF that problem IS
not made any easier by the rift
in the joint congressional COM
mittee. which was created under
the present statute to- deal with
questions of the administration Of
the tax laws. AS result, wide
differences between the House
and Senate are likely to develop
as the revenue legislation pro-
ceeds on its way through Con
gress.
Started Last Year
This rift developed soon after
the joint committee was appoint
ed last year end grew out Of
the selection of Chairman Green
of the House Ways and Means
Committee, as chairman, ove.
Chairman Smoot of the Senate
Finance Committee.
It is an open secret at the
Capitol that there has not been

Raising OF special tax OF ST.

impossible that such a plan will
be submitted to the next Con-

Senator Edge said he was con-

made to him, that funds for real
enforcement of the Volstead Act
be raised from a special tax on
all necessities of life to which
all citizens must thereby con-
tribute.

real test cool $1,00O,OOO, 900

ed that the funds for this work
be raised by popular tax, en-
tirely apart from the ordinary
revenues Of the Government. III.

going on and could have arisen

Barry's statement said: my
impression is that Tunney. after
he had been knocked down. re-
gained his senses in three or four
seconds and. even though Demp-
sey had retired to neutral cor
ner as per instructions. Tunney
would have been able to arise

Etheron Real Gravity Force,
Claims NauaI Mathematician:
Is Smallest Thing IN World

MARE ISLAND. Cal, Sept. q.
The smallest thing in the uni
verse. the etheron, represents the
real force that causes the NIGH
lest of material structures to peo-
pie once they are swung off the'.'
center of balance, Capt. T. J. ].
See, U. s. N, noted mathematician
and astronomer, explained In !.
statement today at his Mare Is
land laboratory
So infinitesimal is the etheron.
Capt. See explained, that 1t has
corpuscles thousand million
times smaller than the electron,
which is 1860 times smaller than
hydrogen atom"
Explains Its Size
To clarity this explanation Capt.
See said that il atoms of com.
mon gas such AS hydrogen. nitro.

size of lemons, oranges or grape
fruit, then, on this same scale.
the electron is like a coarse grain
Of sand, and the etheron. or par.
ticle of either, is like fine pa.
ticle of smoke from cigar"
This explanation of Capt. Sees
theory leads to his contention thai
the incessant travelling of ether
waves, moving at velocity Of
$4,000 miles a second. or 81 pe.'
cent faster than light, is the
the real cause of gravitation.
So fine are those particles Of
the ether that they freely penet-
rate through the earth, sun Or
planets, the scientist declared.
Radio waves. as from con-
certs in Pittsburgh, are heard III
Calcutta" he said. "A Chicago
concert is heard in Melbourne and
radio signals from Bordeaux,
France, are heard in the Anti
podes. near Chatham Island, New
Zealand-all because the radio
waves travel through the soli.i
globe Of the EARTH"
Trlunphs In Research
Captain Sees wave theory, ex-
pounded in this, his ninth mathe-
NAUTICAL memoir dealing with the
cause of gravitation. was proclaim
ed the final and complete triumph
of his extensive researches on the
cause of gravitation. problem
which neither Newton nor La
place, Archimedes. nor all the
great mathematicians since the
foundation of the school of Alex
andria 2200 years ago has been
able to. solve"
Not content with ordinary labo-
ratory experiments in acoustic at
traction, See declared he obtained
direct observations of the ether
waves coming from the sun to
the earth. He said he found thai
these are conspicuously associates
with sun spot disturbances, as II
the aurora, magnetic storms and
earth currents noted in telegraphic
and cable lines since actually OBJ
served at radio stations. He sail,
further:
1.-The observers find the gravita-
tional and magnetic waves from
the sun to aave all lights be-
tween one metre and 100000
metres. Thus some Of these waves
are so long that only one disturb
ance per second passes through
our earth while others are so
short that 3O0,O00.0O0 such waves
pass each second"
To this wide range of ware
lengths and their steady actich
under incessant travelling Capt.
See attributed the real cause OF
gravitation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-Jack
Dempsey came here today to talk
over his boxing future with Tex
Richard. He. is believed to be
seriously considering entering a
second heavyweight elimination
contest which the New York pro-
moter has planned for the win
ter and spring.
1t was announced that a third
fight between Tunney and Demp-
sey was one of the main topics
of their talk. Very few of the
fight critics and sports writers
have professed the belief that
Dempsey can be successful in an
attempt to lift the title but
nearly everybody is agreed that
he is still the biggest drawing
power in the fight business.
Jack, himself, does not seem
adverse to making third try.
1T would not take me long to
get ready feel fine with two
fights under my belt" he said.

Low TAX CUT TO
BE UPHELD BY
ADMINISTRATION
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - The
administration will make q final ef-
fort next week before the House
Ways and Means committee to keep
tax reduction within the 100000
figure set by Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, it was learned today.
Some Republicans favor cut of
$500, 100000 while Democrats say n
$400,000,000 or $500,000,000 cut
should be made.
Before the committee begins ac-
tual writing of the measure, direc-
tor of the budget Lord will appear
with his estimates for various eX-
penditures which include, besides
usual outlays such extra funds as
those necessary for flood control and
deficiency needs.
Because of the unusual expendi-
tures this session, the administration
contends tax reduction must be held
to the 1925, 100000 figure if de
ficit is to be avoided
The amount needed for flood CON
troll is still a nebulous figure. Be
cause of uncertainty, the admins
tration will urge great care in limit
ing tax reduction, so that floods
needs may be met.
