The proponents of the repeal of the
income tax publicity clause of the
present revenue law will have to act
quickly If they are to be effective. All
returns on income for 1884 must be
in the hands of the Internal Revenue
Bureau by March Is. And under the
law the data on the pink slips" re-
garding income and taxes paid will
then become public. Representative
Bacon Of New York, Republican, is
pushing the repeal amendment in the
House, and Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat, also OF New York, is doing the
same In the Senate. Any revenue
legislation must originate in the House.
Reports are that there is considerable
sentiment in the House for repeal,
and that 1t may go through that body.
In the Senate repeal will have sup
port, too. But in the Upper House,
which wrote the publicity feature into
the law originally, the opposition to
repeal will be much more stubborn.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, who
sponsored the proposal, insists that
income tax returns should be matters
Of public record, just as are the taxes
paid by citizens on their real property
and on intangibles.
y y y y
Back of the demand for publicity
of income tax returns lies the fact,
developed in senatorial hearings, that
many wealthy people in this country
have been paying little or no income
taxes. They employed clever lawyers
to find loopholes in the revenue law
and they found them. 1t Is going to
be o hard job putting q repeal Of this
publicity clause through the Senate.

CLEVELAND, January 7.-There Is
a new pillar of smoke in the hats
district of Cleveland today.
There is a maelStrom OF Scorch-

a radiant aura few men can face.
The third of the four blast fur

but it takes couple of days to get
q blast furnace hot enough to use.
1t also takes several hundred dol

the lighting of blast furnace is a

means there is need for iron and

Already the flats are gray with
smoke by day, and at night there
are rolling waves of red light across
the horizon.

plant has one of its two blast fur
naces and all eight of its open hearths

At Otis Lakeside plant, the sched-

takes steel to make automobiles.
Steel works operations in the Cleve-
land district have jumped 16 points
within a week to n per cent of rated

And while the clanking of heavy
machinery and the sharp insistent

Weapons Obsolete
Nothing was seen Of Mikael's

spears and large quantities of
cartridges, many of them bearing
the twenty-year-old mark OF EN-

the troop train.

BY the time Mikael himself goes

Most of the troops leaving to-

Kellogg-Briand treaty of war re-

Kellogg BRAND treaty Of war re-
nunciation as applicable to its dis
pute with Ethiopia. Anthony Eden
OF Great Britain, had brought the
Kellogg pact into the dispute off,
cially for the first time.
In the pact, which the United
States sponsored, Italy and Ethio-
pio, among others, renowned war
for ever as an instrument Of policy
and promised never to seek except
by pacific means the settlement OF
any dispute.
It seemed likely that Britain and
others might seek to keep the
United States interested in the
Italian Ethiopian dispute by keep
ing the Kellogg pact in the fore
front with league machinery.

Rome, Sept 5-Italy by assum-
ing the offensive before the league
of nations council is trying to pre-
pare the way for illegal" military
action in Ethiopia, it was believed
today.
If Italy succeeded in depriving
Ethiopia of its rights under the
league covenant, Italy would OBJ
tain a free hand to open opera
lions without international compli-
cations.
The argument that mo member
of the league can claim rights UNI
der the covenant when 1t failed
to keep obligations" is the key note
Of the entire Italian memorandum
Of attack. Even II other league
members failed to accept the Ital-
ian argument, the memorandum
and the pronouncements Of Baron
Pompeo Aloisi would continue to
guide Italy's policy.
It was said here that the MEM
oranC m should definitely remove
any illusions that Benito Mussolini
would accept anything less than
complete control of Ethiopia even
if it must be obtained by military
force over, the protests of the
league or it's members individually.
1t generally Is felt in Italian cir
Giles that the possibility of general
penalties against Italy will not
even be mentioned at the council
meeting. But there still Is some de-
gree of uncertainty about what ac-
ton Great Britain might take in
dividually.

were examined by physicians and
given every comfort. A special
train will take all to New York

ashore.
The passengers praised the sea-
manship and cool courage of Capt.
K. w. Sundstrom, master of the
Dixie and Commodore of the Nor
gan Line fleet, and Of his officers
and crew. Luck too played its
part. If the storm had not dim

Dixie might have been smashed to

Priest Praises Grew
The Rev. F. A. Wekenman of

sengers, praised the officers and
crew.
"They worked in perfect accord
and deserve the highest credit for
their courage In the face Of dis
aster and their wonderful morale,
which never wavered," he said.

any thought of confusion enter

singing aboard the Dixie Monday
evening when we went aground to
keep our spirits up. Many OF US
