MORE SENATOR'S GIVE OPINIONS
 ON TAX INCREASE
Senator Shoot Against Bond Issue and He Is
 Challenged By Senator
 Pat Harrison
BY LYLE c. WILSON limited Press Correspondcntl )

Washington, Nov "A. (UP)- Chairman Shoot of the senate fi- nance committee says there shall be no more bond issues to pay treasury deficits.
 He is challenged by Senator Pat Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, who is the senior minority mem Der of the finance committee. Along those lines the tax battle will be fought in the senate this winter.
 The treasury has intimated to republican leaders in congress that it does not want to borrow more money without additional congress sional authorization. Now, with less than half the fiscal year gone, the deficit approaches $1,000,000,00O. Majority Leader Watson of the sem ate expects the figure to be double that on June 30, 1892.
 Smoot and Harrison have ex- plained their tax ideas to the United Press.
 Senator Shoot, republican, of Utah, says:
 We have got to balance the budget. The way to do it Is levy new taxes. That procedure would not retard business recovery be- cause businessmen will not stop doing business meFely because their taxes are raised.
 The best available source or revenue is a sales tax. It is produc- tive and comparatively unobjec- tionable. It would provide the gov- ernment with monthly or week. ly income. Manufacturers could ab- sorb a sales tax on a 50 cent bot tie of patent medicine, for instance. From such articles the tax could reach up to automobiles with eX- emptions which might relieve or tax car selling for less than $500.
 Inheritance taxes should be abandoned by the federal govern ment because 1t has not part In the transfer of title to property.
 There should not be bond issue. The people are ready to pay as they go.
 Senator Pat Harrison, democrat, of Mississippi, says:
 am against the sales tax. It IS inequitable. The republicans have an idea that every person should buy with taxes a direct interest Tn the government, even if he cannot afford 1t. The sales tax certainly reaches the man able to pay. but it also reaches the man unable to pay. Manufacturers would not ab- sorb the tax. It would pass on to the consumer.
 It may be necessary to increase income taxes in the intermediate brackets.

that the flow at the meters should be quite
free from disturbances particularly if straight
ening vanes control the flow in the main flume.

a measuring weir can be placed there if de-
sired. At the outlet end of the fume the

whence it will be returned to the supply basin
through the various return channels if desired.
To measure volumetrically the flow in the flume
the water will be diverted in a measuring
basin by means of a swinging gate at the
outlet Of the flume
when the flow in the main flume is diverted
into the measuring basin the water level in
the supply basin would have a tendency to
fall several feet, thus increasing the pumping
head and slightly effecting the constancy Of
the flow in the f1ume through the slight change
in the head of the overflow units. To obviate
this condition the supply basin Is to be divided
into two parts and the water level in one
maintained about nine feet higher than that
in the basin from which the large pumps take
their suction. BY means Of quick opening
sluice gates and two quick opening valves in
the wall between the two basins practically
constant level within six inches can be main
tanned in the low-level basin. The arrange
ment also has the further important advantage
that If one supply basin has to be emptied for
repairs to the pumps other equipment the
laboratory can still be operated at part capacity
from the other basin, since the smaller pumps
in the laboratory will draw their suction from
the high-level basin.

Of two centrifugal pumps Of $3.50 gallons per
minute capacity, will be placed on the third
floor In order to reduce the pumping head
these pumps will take their suction either from
the discharge tank or from one compartment

as desired. Another pump with a capacity of
from $3.50 to 5000 gallons per minute will be
placed in the basement near the west and of
the building.
The primary means of measuring water and
flows up to about 5.400 gallons per minute will
be provided by two 20-ton weighing tanks
arranged in parallel that one can be filled
while the other empties. 1t will thus be pos
Sble to conduct measurement continuously
over as long a period may be desired. The
larger measuring basin will be used to measure
voumetricany large flows in the main fume.
A series of smaller measuring basins will be
provided by inserting bulkheads in the high
level return channel. The volumes Of all the
measuring basins will be determined by direct
measurement and by the weighing tanks.
A third means of measuring flows, both large
and small, will be provided by ventura meters.
It will be possible to calibrate these meters
both by means OF the large measuring basin
and by a pilot tube transverse; hence it Is
anticipated that high degree Of accuracy,
probably better than 0.5 per cent, will be
possible IN measuring flows in this way.
Secondary means of measuring flows for indi-
vidual tests will be provided through weirs or
orifices. When particular accuracy is required
the weighing tanks will be used for tests con-

ask for a slam and show no heart losers, East
pass and South six clubs. If West feels
healthy enough to double this, North should
promptly redoub!e. Neither North ncr South
can Sanely bid the easy grand slam, for South
doesn't know but what a club must be lost and
North can't tell that a spade won't be lost.
Some users of the intermediate two bid would
consider South's hand strong enough for that
call and begin with two diamonds. If West sticks
in two hearts the ensuing bids are the same as
already given Some would not inject that call,
in which event North would merely say two
spades, South three clubs and North six clubs.

before attention is called to the fact that his

Otherwise his insufficient bid must be made

the only sufficient bid would be seven no trump,
he must bid seven no trump.

Butter Fraud RepeaIed

THESE old proverbs work out some times, but
at other times the results are not so good.
Take the case of shipper in New York re-
Gently who fell afoul CT the law for shipping
oleomargarine pure creamery butter.
Some time ago he was arrested for shipping
q mixture of oleo and butter labeled as pure
butter. Not having had much success with that
venture, he decided to TRY, try again"
His technique in the second attempt was bet
ter. He operated under series of names. He
had a bank account under one name, mailing
address under another, purchased oleomargarine
under third, used fourth for storage pur-
poses and sold under fifth His system
seemed too coed for him to waste on a mixture
of butter and oleo so he just dispensed with
the butter and sold the oleo straight.
It took a little longer and wider search to
run him to earth but is the case with most
Ftderal offenders the law finally caught up
with him. .','.. .t-t- -.

Euen Pigs Like Kindness

THE recent controversy in Chicago between
! Mrs Irene Castle Mclaughlin and farm
owner over the question CT the sanitation of the
hog pens on the farm may have been dismissed
by the general public with a shrug, but back
of it lies a new order in swine-raising circles
1t has been generally conceded that hogs live
in muck and filth and little thought toward bet
tering their condition has been given. Experts
OF the Department of Agriculture however,
never satisfied with existing conditions, have
been experimenting with the result that definite
figures have been obtained to indicate the eco
nomic soundness of raising pigs in more sani-
tary surroundings. typical is cited in
which farmer with 20 sows raised an average
of little less than five pigs per last year.
1t required eight months to bring these pigs
to a weight of 200 pounds each under the old
system. This year, however giving heed to the
Government experts warning and advice, he
averaged eight pigs per and in five months
81 of the pigs had reached a weight of 200
pounds each.

THREE STATES PLAN ROAD
WIDENING

Definite steps to complete or piece
out 40-foot highway system be.
tween Philadelphia and Baltimore,
one branch of which passes through
Delaware, has been taken in Mary
land on three-State project, with
the recommendations by the State
Roads Commission of that State for
S., $780, 900 bond issue, $4,000, 600 OF
which would be used on the project
in this State.
The statement issued by the Mary
land Commission cites that both Della
ware and Pennsylvania highway
officials, in previous conferences
with Maryland highway officials,
have agreed on programs, and are
already at work on links that will
make this important highway route
toward Washington possible.
The Maryland project includes
widening of both routes to Philadel-
phia, one Of which passes through
Elkton and links with the Delaware
road, the other which hooks up with
the Pennsylvania system near Rising
Sun.
1t is cited in the Maryland board S
report that the Baltimore Washington
road has already been widened, and
that Maryland cannot afford to lag
behind in improving the highways
when the other States Delaware and
Pennsylvania are going ahead with
improvements.
