JAMES ]. DAVIS
DENIES SUGAR
LOBBY CHARGE
Never For or Against,
Says Senator Before
Probe Board.
By United Press

BY CHfteu PfeSS
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Sena-
tor James j. Davis Rep., Pa ap-
peared today before the senate lobby
committee and made an unqualified
denial he ever had ''lobbied for or
against any sugar tariff measure"
Davis read q brief statement be-
fore the committee after an execu-
tive meeting attended by Chairman
ThaddeuS H. Caraway dem, Ark ::
Senator Thomas j. Walsh Dem,
Month; Senator Arthur R. Robin
son (Rep., Ind), and Senator John
j. Blaine (Rep., Wis.,
The preliminary open hearing,
summoned merely to give Davis an
opportunity to make his statement,
lasted only a few minutes. Cara
way said afterward that he doubted
the committee would be able to meet
Davis wishes with respect to a re-
port before this session of congress
adjourns. The committee is to meet
again subject to the call of the
chairman.
Davis statement was as follows:
IF the charges which we're read
into the Congressional Record Tues
day from a metropolitan newspaper
refer to me, I most ernphatically
state that I never lobbied for or
against any sugar tariff measure;
that 1 never have spoken to any
body in congress or any one in gov
eminent service about putting q
duty on sugar; that I never have
received any money or anything OF
value for any such alleged service
1T is a contemplate lie, and ]
am glad that it is out in the open
so that the matter can be investi-
gated thoroughly and the falsehood
killed once for all.
1.-THE charge is a serious one. The
senate and the public are entitled
to promptly know all the facts;
to condemn, if true; to absolve, II
untrue.
Congress soon will adjourn. ]
earnestly urge you in behalf of the
citizens of the state of Pennsylvania
our nation, my family, and myself
to fully inquire into the accusa-
tons and make your conclusions
public before the adjournment OF
this congress-"

MOSCOW, Feb. 25.-The new
Russia is not content to prophecy
Its future in glowing literary terms
It insists on the language of figures
percentages, graphs and tables. It
tries to chart its future as rigidly as
an architect plans the building OF
a house.
Therefore, the extraordinary FIVE
year plan of national economy.
Therefore, larger but equally
concrete ffteen-year plan in the
offing.
These are blueprints of future
national development covering not
only industry but science, education,
art, standards of living.
Russia traditionally was nation
content to drift along, to wait
patiently. The drug-like effect OF
it's misunderstanding roughly lit
doesn't matter"-has not yet worn
off by any means.
In the flve-year-plan and all it
implies we have the antithesis OF
all that.
They See New Era
Precisely because their people
are prone to inertia and postpone
ment, the vigorous Bolshevik mi
nority insists not merely on speed
but On speed accurately planned
and organized in advance.
For them an american era" has
dawned in Russia This fact in it.
self, quite aside from whether they
succeed or not in following out
the blueprints, digs sharp from
tier between past and future.
The claim made by over-zealouc
Soviet friends that the charts and
plans are being accurately followed
and fulfilled are nonsensical.
The groSsest miscalculations have
already been disclosed.
The plan as understood today is
only distantly related to the one
originally announced. The changes
have been in both directions, the
work being intensified in some Sec
tors and slowed up in others.
Wrench Peasants From Grooves
In the domain of agriculture, ir
collectivizing the peasants anc
building up State-owned grain fac
tories, the Soviet successes have beer
so great that the original blueprint
looks like an i1lcoherent childish
scrawl.
The f1ve-year plan foresaw fifty
million acres sowed by collectiveS
in 1888, but already last year they
planted over one hundred seven
million acres.
In 1880 half the marketable farm
| products came from the so-calleo
socialized sector, that is, from state
and collective farms.
This year half the peasant pop
ulation, whom no one dreamed tc
wrench SO soon from the grooves Of
private property, will be in collec-
tives.
Enormous Price Paid
The price paid for these sue
cesses is enormous; in food shortage
cruelty to kulak families and suf-
fering generally.
The f1ve-year plan was greeted
specifically, not only outside, but in
side the Soviet Union. Yet by ano
large its major tasks have thus fa1
been accomplished.
Last year industry was twice as
large as before the war, and the in
crease scheduled for this year is
larger than the whole of pre-wa1
production.

INTANGIBLE PROPERTY
TAX BILL ADVANCES
Securities Would Be Assessed at rs
Per Cent Face Value.

Securities Would Be Assessed at 70
Per Cent Face Value.
After a debate of almost an hour
the Indiana house Monday accepted
majority committee report recon-
mending passage of the McClain bill
providing for assessment of intangi-
BILE property at 25 per cent of it's
face value, instead of the 100 per
cent as now.
The vote against substitution of
the minority report for indefinite
postponement was 1925. The meas
ure, favored by the state tax board,
was declared by its proponents to
be the only method whereby con-
cealed mortgages, bonds, certificates
of deposit, chattel mortgages and
other intangible assets could be
brought out for taxation.

TALK WITH HOOVER

Robinson and Wood Urge Appoint
ment of Maurice Judd to Take

Senator Robinson and Representa-
tive Wood Of Indiana suggested to the

cent resignation of Harleigh H. Hart

In presenting Mr.. Judd'S name, Sen
ator Robinson and Representative Wood
emphasized the fact that he has spe-
cialized in public utility matters during
his practice of law in Washington and
they told the President that they con-
sidered him well qualified for this i'm
portant local post.
Mr. Judd is a native Of Indiana and
has been a resident of Washington IS
years. He has been a practicing at
torney here for four years and prior 70
that time was newspaper CORE
spondent.
The President advised his callers that
he has not yet personally given any
attention to the matter Of making this
