DOUBLE TAXATION
PLAN EXPLAINED
Mills Tells Conference Treasury
Has Adopted C. of c. Code as
Basis for Legislation.

By the Associated Press.
Opening an informal conference on
prevention of international double taxa
ton. Ogden L. Mills, Undersecretary
of the Treasury, today told a group Of
business men that the Treasury wanted
to facilitate the flow of capital to coun-
tries needing it and to prevent taxation
both at home and abroad
The Jndersecretary said that could be
achieved by applying the principle of
reciprocal exemption to income from
capital from dividends and interests.
Mills added that the International
Chamber of Commerce had drafted a
uniform code of principles for elm
mating double taxation of income, prop
erty and estate taxes, and that the
Treasury Department had taken this
code as basis for proposed legisla-
ton.
THE program further contemplates
a more equitable system of taxation of
international business by imposing taxes
on the foreign enterprise only if it has
a permanent establishment within the
taxing country" Mills said, thus ex-
enpting income from casual transact
tons or from sale effected through a
Eena flde broker or commission agent"

While connected with the reorganiza-
ton bill, the inquiry looks toward an
other proposal by Senator Couzens, to
establish Federal control of all inter-
state transmission, distribution and sale
of power. The Senator said he had
deferred the second proposal in order
to get the first through as soon as pos
sible.
Difficulties TO Be Aired.
Numerous difficulties which have
arisen within, as we'll as before
the commission, are expected to be laid
before the committee by Russell, who
already has testified on the subject be-
fore a House appropriations subcommit-
tee. There he referred specifically to
differences of opinion over the system

expenditures by companies seeking
licenses for power development.

antidote for the poison by observing
the effect of the acid on himself.
While the mother tried to ease her
baby's pain, the father stepped into
another room and hastily swallowed a
dose of the poison.
Soon he noticed a burning sensation.
He waited, while the burning grew
more intense, then drank a glass of
soda water. When relief came, he
hastily prepared another portion of the
simple remedy, and with his wife's
help gave it to the infant.
Soon the child's suffering seemed to
diminish, and when a doctor arrived
he said the proper antidote had been
administered. The child would have
recovered, hospital attendants believed,

OF the poison, could not resist.

EX-SENATOR DUBOIS
DIES AT HOME HERE
Former Idaho Leader Sue
cumbS to Pneumonia-Was
70 Years Old.

Former Senator Fred T. Dubois of
Idaho, who was chiefly responsible for
that Territory becoming a State, and
was its first Senator, died this morning
of pneumonia at his home, 3114 r
street. He was 70 years of age, but
still active in the service of his country,
being a member at the time of his
death of the Joint International Com
mission, a body for the settlement of
boundary disputes between the United
States and Canada.
Former Senator Dubois death came
as a shock to his many friends in social
and official life in the Capital. He had
been Ill only week, though. despite
poor health, he had been working many
hours day with the International
Joint Commission on difficult WASH
ington State-Canada boundary question
for three weeks before his illness con-
fined him to bed.
The former Senator was last seen
in public at the National Press Club
last Saturday.
Stricken With Cold.
He went to his home last Saturday
with a cold. His resistance lowered by
the long hours he had been putting in
with the International Joint Commits
Sion's deliberations, the cold failed to
respond to treatment and turned to
pneumonia.
Former Senator Dubois was pioneer
in the development of Idaho. His fine
old mansion, which still stands in
Blackfoot, Idaho, was the first house
built IN that town, and was the nucleus
about which the town has been built.
1t long has been a landmark and of
recent years the townfolk have dis
cussed making memorial of the place.
He is survived by his widow. Edna M.
