SALES AND BEER TAX
FAVORED BY BRITTEN
Two Levies Advanced as Quick
Solution of Governments
Financial Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Representative Britten, Republican,
of Illinois, today in formal statement
urged passage of manufacturers
sales tax and the levying of beer tax
at the coming session of Congress.
THE most important legislation con-
fronting the coming session OF Con-
gress," Britten said, will be steps to-
ward the relief of the taxpayer him
self and this can most quickly be done
by the immediate passage of manu-
facturers' sale tax which would bring
not less than $400, 600, 900 into the Fed
eral Treasury through a uniform, but
modest levy on everything but food
stuffs and the cheapest kind OF wearing
apparel.
1.-THE tremendous wet vote through
out the country would justify the modi-
ication of the Volstead law and a
revenue tax on beer before Christmas,
which would Immediately place in cir
culation 5000, ,000, 900 for the rehabilita-
ton Of the breweries of the country,
would stimulate employment generally
and would Undoubtedly promote one of
the happiest holiday seasons in the his
tory of the country, including revenue
for the Federal Treasury Of approxi-
mately $50,0o0,000 a month from the
very outset"
Britten has been an advocate of beer
consistently and Is militant leader in
the House wet bloc.

OF the parley be made to suit the latters
convenience.
The New York Governors telegram
was placed aboard this train at Hut
Crimson, Kans., last night, shortly after
pm. No official comment was forth
coming upon it.
The President has expressed himself
as opposed to cancellation in any form,
but has held that the United States
should be receptive to proposals from
debtors unable to pay that would en-
large American markets abroad.
Works on Problem.
In his telegram to Roosevelt. seeking a
conference, he said that if the requested
negotiations are undertaken. they can
not be completed during the present ad-
n1inistration, and pointed out that any
action taken must be limited by the
resolution of Congress.
He told the New York Governor also
that If there is to be any change in the
attitude of Congress 'it will be greatly
affected by the views of those members
who recognize you as their leader and
who vii: probably desire your counsel
and advice"
IN preparation for the parley, the
Chief Executive spent almost his entire
day yesterday at an improvised desk in
the private car Of his train as it rolled
across New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma
and Kansas.
Aides said that although he was work.
ing upon debt matters he had neither
received nor dispatched communications
of Importance related to the problem

the tracks, about 200 feet ahead Of the

100 In number. The noise Of the ap-
preaching train with its shrieking
whistle failed to hurry them. Finally
the last of the herd had crossed and the
train resumed its journey.
Mr.. Hoover has been enjoying q real
rest. He has not been rising as early
as is his custom in Washington, and
almost every afternoon he has enjoyed
a long nap. He has been retiring about
1920 or IL O'Clock. AS he nears the end
of his trip he divides his time between
work incidental to the debt problem
and the budget preparation and to just
sitting in front of his car window look

chats with members of his party.

Debtors Get Better Terms.

WARSAW, Poland, November is up.
-Poland's position on the war debt
question was summed up for the ASso-
ciated Press by an official spokesman

under which the 1924 arrangement was
made has changed raescally since then.

Chased by suspected bandits and a.areening madly down hill over the :Siskiyou mountains at top speed to escape them, was among the experi- =nces related by c. L. Lovgren, of the u. s. Signal Corps, when he returned to his home in Ketchikan, says the Chronicle.
 MT. Loygren returned home on the 1Northland after touring the western part of the United States as far east :as Chicago and as far south as Texas :and Mexico.
 MT. Lovgren said that conditions were worse in the Middle West than in the South. In Ohio he said the farmers claimed that the farm board was responsible for most of their ills that numerous small farmers who had previously owned their land and had tbeen prosperous were induced to bor- TOW money to buy more land and ex- pand with the result that they cannot fPsty child aiC AoolAS CNCIS tLilSs Sal lpenters are getting 50 cents an hour in Ohio and most of them idle.

KETCHIKAN RADIO STATION
 FIRE MOST MYSTIFYING

Checking up on tn 1eincendiary fire which recently gutted the interior and destroyed the machinery of the, KGBU station at Ketcfikan, operated by the Alaska RaSiio and Service Company. recently, the circumstances are mystifying to ath einvestigators.: One of the things they are up against is to find a motive for the wanton de- structinn. The party or parties set ting fire to the plant, it is figured, brought the 1fve-gallont can of kero- sene near there in a boat and carried t to the place. The top was cut off and the oil poured. inside and a match applied The fact that several mat ches were found near the windows, indicating that the man must have used matches to see to cut off the top of the can. Harry Mccain, president of the hoard of directors; James Brit ten, treasurer; B. D. Blackwell, ad- vertising manager, and George Bur- -eigh, director, are cooperating with the officers in trying to solve the mys- terY- Nessrs. Mccain and Rurleigh, after a careful check, believe the damage will reach $8,OOO, with no in- ,surance. The anxiety of the person or persons setting fire to the place to do good. job by using five gallons of kerosene, defeated. his or their pur- pose by generating enough gas to smother the, ames before they ignited the woodwork, otherwise the entire building would have been destroyed. together with the furnished apart ments of MT. .and Mrs. Britten. The only exit for Mir. and Mrs. Britten was cut off by the fire. If they had been in the house at the time and the fire had destroyed the building. they could not possibly have escaped.

c. c. Spinks, formerly of Ketchikan, who is traffic chief for the Associated Press there. Spinks said his job was fine, but he would like to return to Alaska. In the naval hospital near Los Angeles, MT. Lovgren visited Major J. s. M. Quist, who had just been operated on for tonsilitis-
 It was on his way home over the Siskiyous that he was given a real thrill. He had driven some 20 miles. It was early morning and as he passed dark parking place he mo-. ticed the front wheels of a machine without any lights move into the road. The car turned in behind him and he watched it in his mirror. He put on little more speel and the car behind did the same.
 Lovgren was going down grade with turns and swings and cliffs to round and, though unfamiliar with the road, he showed his foot on the gas until the speedometer registered 75 miles an hour. The other car came hurtling after him, blowing it's siren, and tried to pass him, but each time he hogged the road, forcing it toward the edge.
 When he reached lighted fuel sta- tion near Ashland, where there were people about, Lovgren slowed down. The other man came to screeching stop ahead of him and two men piled out and came toward him cursing.
 They looked at the license plate and saw he was from Alaska.
 Say, feller, whats the idea of all all the speed?" one asked.
 "Who are you?" countered Lop- gren.
 We're prohibition agents, the other answered. He added: -'If you ever become citizen of America you'll know enough to stop when a siren sounds at you"
 "We were about to shoot your gas tank full of holes," the other supple mented.
 Lovgren noticed Washington state tag on their car, and he remark ed that since they were not in uni form or had shown any badge of au- thority, he did not know they were government men.
 "We don't have to-" one of them said.
 "Well, anyway" Lovgren replied, "1 must say you fellows are good sports. You gave me a quarter mile start, and that's something"
