SENATE IS NEAR
/. V0TE>ON TAX !
REDUCTION

With action on the $3.50, 0O0, 900
tax reduction resolution set for
tomorrow, Administration leaders
in the Senate today were hopeful
Of getting final approval on the
new WOODEN tariff schedule before
nightfall.
The major clash over wooden
rates has been held. with the
Senate voting the highest protec.
ton in history to the wooden in.
dustry. After approving q new
basic protective rate of "a cents q
pound Of clean content, as COM
pared to 81 cents in existing law,
the Senate raised rates all down
the line. It's final action was to
place rate Of 10 cents a pound
on WOODEN rags, against vigorous
protest from q handful of Irlsur.
gents and Democrats.
The new wooden rates, approved
by the Senate to date, are: Basic
rate, 81 cents Q pound, secured
wool, 81 cents; wool on the skin,
80 cents; natchings, 35 cents; top
and ring waste, 81 cents; car.
bombed noils, IS cents; noncar.
BOMBED noilS, % cents; thread or
yarn waste, Is cents; shoddy and
other wastes, "a cents, and wooden
rags, 10 cents. It represented the
greatest protection ever given the
wooden industry.
The tax fight will start tomor.
row, with the possibility that
some Democrats and Insurgents
may seek to delay it for another
year. The indications, however,
were that 1t would pass either
late tomorrow or Saturday, after
only q brief debate.
A move will be made to slash
the tax on capital gains and CAPT
tai losses from 1914 to 10 per
cent. This has been proposed by
Senator CouzenS (R.) Of Michigan.
It would apply only to the year Of
1880 on taxes payable in 1881 and
not at all to gains or losses in the
current year. Couzens estimated
it would increase the tax reduc-
ton by sos, 100000 during the year
1881.
my proposal would make liquid
some Of the frozen assets that
have been held by some owners
for two years." said Couzens. "It
would have no effect on gains or
losses in the stock market this
year, since it would not take ef-
feet until taxes are paid in 1881 on
gains or losses for $780,"
With the tax bill passed, Ad.
ministration leaders planned to
call up radio legislation. They
must extend the life Of the radio
commission for another year or
it's life will expire January i.

or Miss Flood Control
Plan Soon to Congress

The twenty,fifth annual con-
gress of rivers and harbors was
told yesterday by Secretary of
War Patrick Hurley that except
for q few controversial points.
plans for Mississippi flood control
are completed and will be ready
for final consideration by Con-
gress in the near future.
The problems of Mississippi
flood control, he said, are the
most difficult that confront any
body OF engineers.
The speaker emphasized that
extension of inland waterways
and unification of water trans
portation facilities will not CON
stitute a competition to rail and
motor transportation, but will &C.
tually benefit them by stimulat-
ing trade in general. Congress
has taken up the matter in Sc.

said.

SCHAFER S
CHARGES
DENIED

Congress was In the throes Of q
new and unusual row over prohl,
billion today as the result Of the
announcement Of Representative
John 8. Schafer tR1 Of Wiscon
, sin, that he win undertake "a
prove that liquor law violations
are rampant In the original dry
States Of the West and South.
Feeling that the regulations Of
Ulaeir States for law enforcement
are being assailed by the militant
Wisconsin, House dry leaders from
the West and South flared back
today and prepared to meet him
on his own ground.
Schafer declared that months
OF investigation has revealed that
many Of the su-calleo "dry States
are wetter than the so-called
wet States"
II have assembled official data
and statistics obtained from every
State in the Union, which will
present to the Congress and the
American people" said Schafer.
Says Law Has Failed
These figures indicate an al
most unbelievable increase in
arrests of intoxication, for driy-
ing automobiles while intoxicated,
for manufacture and sale Of
liquor. They clearly show that
the prohibition law has failed.
They will show remarkable In
creases in violations of the law
in the so-called dry States. whose
representatives in Congress are
so intent upon drying up the big
cities of the country"
Two representatives Of arid
States - Representative Homer
Hoch (R.) Of Kansas and Repre-
/ sentative Charles L. Alternately
CD of North Carolina replied
to Schafer's broad accusations.
Both Hoch and Alternately assert
prohibition has benefited their
States.
I'VE have had constitutional
prohibition in Kansas for 40
years and people who have seen
it tried for a generation and 1t
takes a generation to try such a
laW-are generally satisfied" said
Hoch. THE people OF Kansas are
so convinced that prohibition has
benefited the State that no can
didate, Republican or Democrat,
dares to stand upon any but a
dry platform"
Alternately Sees Gains
Representative Abernathy said:
"Of course the prohibition law
Is violated, but not more so in
the dry States than any place
else. I think it is fairly effective
In my own State, and I am not
an extremist on this question.

orally are honestly enforcing the
law. / believe the situation is

QLON. DRY STATES FIGHT MOVE TO BARE RUM DAT
HOWELL URGES
|. |. c. c. RAILWAY
VALUATION

A movement was started in the
Senate yesterday to have Con-
gress upset the Supreme Court
method Of valuing railroads and
establish substantially the invest
ment method, estimated to give
the carriers q rate base smaller
by $4,000, 100000
Senator Howell CR.), OF Ne
braska, sponsoring the move, de-
clared in q Senate speech that
1t Is necessary In order to protect
commercial, industrial and farm
interests from the menace of
rates as high as the traffic will
bear"
He laid this asserted threat Of
higher rates to the decision last
spring in the st. Louis and
O'Fallon case, rejecting the yalu-
alton method worked out by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Howell proposed to reverse this
situation by a joint resolution
formally approving the commits
sion's method as the basis for
all valuations for ''recapture" and
rate-making purposes. He con
sidered this feasible because
there was no constitutional
question involved" In the OFallon
case. and the Supreme Court It.
self stated the fundamental cues
ton was whether the commits.
sion acted as directed by Con.
greSs."
The majority Of the court de.
cided that the commission. by
failing to give due weight to re-
production cost, had not obeyed
the direction of Congress. and
its action was therefore invalid.
A minority took the view that
the commission acted as directed.
HoWell's resolution would give
the commission, and indirectly
the courts, new directions, far
more specific.
Such an about-face ultimately
would affect all public utilities
as the electric, gas and traction
interests have profited by the
same line Of recent court deci-
sions leaning toward reproduc-
ton cost.
Unless Congress intervenes,
Howell told the Senate, the ORAL.
lon decision will increase the
| tentative valuations of all rail
roads from 1000, OO0. goo to
about $50, 900 600, 00O," adding:
while it win not be prac.
ticable TO put these higher
rates in effect Immediately, yet
If the intent Of Congress rs
interpreted by the Supreme
Court stands, for years to come
the railroads will be in q pO-
sition to compel the Interstate
Commerce Commission to af.
ford them almost any increase
in rates demanded"
The rate increases, Howell
argued, would be due not to the
decision "but to the provisions
contained in the Esch- Cummins
law respecting the valuation of
railroad property" He added:
Tt is apparent that Congress
can correct the situation by
placing its stamp of approval
upon the Interstate Commerce
COMMISSIONS Interpretation of the
valuation provisions of the trans
portation act of 1920 in connec-
ton with the O'Fallon case"
HoWell's resolution was referred
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee.
Senator McMaster (R0, of
South Dakota, declared freight
rate increases would be ruinouS
to the farmers.
Senator Gould (R), of Maine,
took the view that such fears
were groundless. American rail-
roads are soon to reduce their
rates on grain, he said, in order
to meet competition from Ca
madam roads.

is REPORTED BY
RADIO OWNERS
Several Factors Found to
Be Causing Grief to

Radio fans from Forty-second TO

the Monon railway are having
trouble, the following appeal hav-
ing been sent to The Times radio
department:
I'VE, the undersigned, are troubled
with some sort of interference in our
neighborhood which almost puts our
radios out of commission and wish
to have you make a thorough check

CAUSE
DISCOVERED
Free Booklet Mailed on Request

Those who suffer from bronchial
asthma and hay fever will be graft
fed to learn that at last science has
succeeded in discovering the basic
cause of these two stubborn mall
aides.
This discovery disproves the old
theory that asthma is due solely to
climatic conditions and hay fever
entirely to pollen. The discovery OF
the real cause of these diseases has
proSed that these are merely aggra-
waiting factors and that the basic
cause lies in the individual himself.
Fortunately for all who suffer
from these diseases a way has also
been found to overcome this basic
cause in the individual instead of
merely treating the surface symp-
toms, as has been done in the past.
For full information write for i'm

the cause of bronchial asthma and
