 Washington, April IA - (UP)- T1Ba senate yesterday passed a tax blJi which carried .. provision for making income tax returns public, lower +Ievies than at present on smalI incomes and sharply higher taxes on large estates which con- stitute family fortunes handed down from generation to genera ton.
 The measure also closes loop nolee which in the past have been uSed for tax avoidance.
 The publicity provision was voted fl to 34 and reflected reac- Ion from the senate investigation which showed J. P. Morgan, the lAte Otto Kahn and other Wall Stfeet figures paid no income taxes in one or more recent years.
 The bill is greatly changed since 1t passed the house on Feb. 21. It now goes to conference for shaping into . measure which can become law with the approval of the two houses.
 s Small Incomes Pay Less
 The new income tax rates are lower than at present on smaller incomes despite senate adoption of the amendment by Sen. James Copzens, republican, Michigan. add ing . blanket 10 per cent increase < on all income taxes.
 ;. For instance. a married man with no dependents who now pays q tax of $100 on an income of $5,- eee would pay sss--$So in regular tar and $s in the Couzens "recov- cry tax"
 There was some doubt whether the house would accept the Couzens plan. This is an election year. Many congressmen think their chances of reelection would be 1essened by imposition of a tax which would be felt in every tax payers pocketbook. Tho senate bill imposed tax of ] cents per pound on cocoanut oil. ' sesame, oil. palm oil, palm-kernef oil, sunhower oil, imported whale oil. imported flsh oil, imported xnariffe-anima1 oil.
 Most such products come from the Philippines. The tax was op- posed by those who believed it Amounted to an embargo and a hostile gesture toward the Fili- pffio people, who had been greeted with affection just short time be- fore when the senate passed the Filipino independence bill.
 President Roosevelt opposes such q kax. Some thought he might veto the bi1I on this ground.
 Different From House
 The senate completed action or the tax bill after nearly two weeks Of debate.
 The bill came from the house { with . potential revenue of $258.- 100000. The senate finance com 1niftee gave 1t form calculated to hiring in $s30, 900. Addition of senate amendments, principally the Couzens 10 per cent tax and the IaFol1ette estate taxes. raised the Amount of expected revenue 70 nearly $500, 100000
 The LaTollette estate taxes were Approved as the most desira ble means of earning new revenue and Ut the same time getting at the Concentration of wealth in large Fortunes.

ST. PATRICK'S
 DANCE TO BE
 HELD AT ELkS
Annual Ball to Be Given Saturday Commemorates
 26th Anniversary, Club

Typically Irish in music and spe- cial features, the Annual St. Pat rick's dance will be held in the Elks club ball room on Saturday night, celebrating the 2oth anni- versary of the dedication of the B. P. o. Elks building.
 Music for this gala occasion will be furnished by the Troubadours Orchestra which has worked out a number of brand new dance pieces which will be interspersed with a few of the old-time Irish favor ties, such as When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" Wild Irish Rose" and Mother MacCree," played with the Troubadours own rhythm,
 Jimmy Steele and William Blentzer have been added to this popular orchestra. The former needs no introduction in Juneau, and MT. Blentzer, saxaphone art ist, has had considerable experi- ence with leading dance orchestras of the Coast, according to Fred Gilman, manager.
 For all Elks and their friends, this dance will be long remembered as one of the most delightful to be held this spring, to judge from the preparations which have been made by the committee.
 Those on the dance committee are Dr. R. E. Southwell, chairman, M. E. Monagle, Ralph Martin, Winn Goddard, H. Messerschmidt, William Garster, George Shaw, George Messerschmidt and M. S. Jorgenson.

ing by the Legion Auxiliary mem bers.
 A capacity crowd, delicious Irish stew dinner, entertaining program and an evening of cards, combined to make the event one of the most successful ever held by the Auxil- iary. At the close of the dinner, the large birthday cake was pre- sented by Mrs. Edith Bavard, pres ident of the Auxiliary, to Waino Hendrickson, Post Commander of the Legion. Each gave short talk, appropriate to the occasion.
 After the cake had been cut and served, an original poem, composed by Elmer Reed, for the occasion, humorously commenting on vari- ous members of the Legion, was read by Mrs. John Mccormick. The applause and laughter with which it was received were indicative of the feeling of good fellowship that prevailed throughout the evening.
 Following the dinner, both pin ochle and auction bridge were played with attractive prizes for the winners. Those making high scores at pinochle were Mrs. Chas. Seelye and E. M. Policy, while Mrs. Henry Messerschmidt and George Kohlhepp received high scores at auction.
 On the committee in Charge of the delightful affair were, Mrs R. J. McKanna, chairman; Mrs. John

DIVERSIFIED INTERESTS
 OCCUPY D. F. D. MEETING

Fire protection measures, basket ball and the annual dance were some of the principal subjects cov- cred at the regular meeting of the Douglas Volunteer Fire Depart n1ent last night. A report to the meeting that a small fire around the smoke stack where it passes through from the first floor to the second at the public school had occasioned some excitement one day this week brought out consid- erable why's, hows and wherefores. Disposal was made by the appoint ment of Loken, Riedi and Balog to investigate and instigate needed measures for proper protection in the future.
 Final report, covering the bas- ketball season participated in by the Department with one team, revealed a good percentage of games won and expenses connected with season well covered.
 Progress was reported by the an- nual dance committee on arrange ments. Since the yearly school Prom will not be given until the latter part of April, the firemen's dance will not be held until early in May.
 A committee composed of Shud- shift, Logan and Engstrom was ap- pointed to arrange for the burial of w. J. Grant, long time member of the department, in Douglas, providing the remains are not shipped south.

This Is no longer to be viewed as

Varying Opinions as to
Which Is "Best" Bible

The Bible has now been trans
lated into 800 languages or dialects
or Is In course of translation; and
1t Is an interesting question TO ask
which of these translations is the
best, writes DR.. Theodore Graebner
in the Lutheran Witness.
An African negro once told an Eng

among other nations: @You white
people have many advantages. You

but one thing you lack, a thing we
haye-the Bible In the Zulu lam
guage." The traveller said: "Our
own translation is an excellent one
and Is very faithful to the original
text" The Zulu shook his head and
said: 1T cannot be the equal Of
ours"
The incident had almost escaped
the memory Of the traveller when he
came to one of the Malay Islands and
there heard a native remark: 1.-THE
Malay Is the most eloquent language
In the world. Just read our transla-
ton Of the Scriptures and be con-
vinced." A little later he was In a

says, "a Chinese Christian expressed

Red Cross Membership
Unhurt by Depression

The membership enrolment In the
American National Red Cross for the
year ending June 30, 1884, was $780,
1884 for the United States and Its In
suIar possessions-an increase OF
100,518 members over the roli-calI for
the previous year.
During the five years Of the de-
preston the Red Cross membership
showed a decrease of only 7.8 per
cent for the entire period and during
the past year the rolIcall showed an
increase Of 2.72 per cent over the
previous year.
Commenting on the figures, Chair
nan John Barton Payne said: "They
not only show that the Red Cross
did not suffer a serious loss at any
time during the period Of stress. but
that such small decline In member
ship as was inevitable is now being
erased, and the response to our roll
call Is now on the upgrade"
The figures are ~reassuring In the

situation In Europe.-Literary Digest.

finally brought about by the announce
ment of Secretary Morgenthau that
the so-called profit OF two billion eight
hundred million dollars resulting from
the d~evaluation of the gold dollar
would be used to curtail the public
debt incurred by the New Deal. Since
currency Is ultimately to be issued
against this profit" and since there Is
only about five billion dollars Of cur
rency now In circulation, the Morgen-

imitation.
The President appointed as acting
budget director Daniel W.. Bell, a per
manent employee of the treasury. 1t
was understood In Washington that
there would be a general rearrange-
ment In the Treasury department which
would concentrate all fiscal powers In
the hands of Secretary Morgenthau.
Several officials who are not In full
sympathy with the New Deal will be
weeded out.
MANY of the dairy cattle bought
lNl by the government in drouth
areas are Of high breed and so will
not be slaughtered. The federal relief
administration gave out a statement
saying:
1T Is planned to either exchange
some OF these high breed drouth cattle
for scrub cattle now In the possession
OF relief or rural rehabilitation fami-
lies, or to Issue them to such families
where the need has been determined.
Under this program the low-grade
scrub cattle would be slaughtered
where exchanges were made. The ex-
changes, or Issuance OF cattle without
exchange, would be made upon recon-
