aged enterprises and discrimi-
mates against them in favor Of
inflationist corporate finance"
Alvord said even the excess
profits tax of 1918, representing
probably the best which could be
devised, was admittedly unsound,
unfair and discriminatory"
Points Out Defects
Declaring tax liabilities were
controlled largely by fortuitous
circumstances having nothing to
do with income or ability to pay,
the former Treasury official said
the bill fails to provide means for
accurately estimating the amount
of taxes to be collected. He
added:
I'm theory an excess profits
tax is designed to collect for
the Government a portion of q
corporations profits in excess
of a specified amount.
"Any attempt accurately to
measure this excess amount re-
quires a careful consideration
of innumerable factOrs-nOne
of which appears in the pend
ing bill.
"The necessary appraiSals OF
physical and intangible proper.
ties, including patents, copy
rights and goodwill, included in
the assets of over SOC, 900 cor.
porations, is an admitted impOs-
Sibility."
HITS GRADUATED TAX
Alvord criticized assertions that
the graduated corporate income
taxes would aid small business
He said:
ut has been officially stated
that 80 per cent of the number
of corporations would have
their taxes somewhat reduced
through the operation Of the
graduated principle applying to
corporate income taxes.
"Such q statement does not
take into account other provi-
siOns of the bill, particularly the
excess profits tax"
Alvord said the two outStand
ing characteristics of the general
tax program are a heavy increase
in taxes on small incomes and dis
elimination against income de
pendent upon corporate earning,
F. R. Gamble, executive Secre'
tary of the American Association
of Advertising Agencies, appealed
to the committee for exemption
c. personal service corporations
from the excess profits provisions
Of the bill.
He said capital invested in ad.
vertising agencies is primary
for service" and that it Is not
used to enlarge the agencies
profits and added:
1--WE do not use our capital
to buy or sell any commodities,
and it is the opinion of those
I represent that imposition Of
such a tax would amount to

Job Survey BY Perkins
The program for tabulating the
occupational qualifications Of
workers will be handled by the
employment service of the De-
partment Of Labor at a cost Of
$3.50, 100, used to supplement a
$4,000 continuing appropriation
by Congress and $4,000 from
foundation funds, according to the
application filed by Secretary Of
Labor Frances Perkins, who wrote:
"The OccupatiOnal research
program is designed to provide
accurate job specifications with
respect to representative types
Of occupations handled by the
employment service, both for
public and private employment.
1t Is further designed to de-
velOp sound OccupatiOnal group

will facilitate the transfer Of
individuals within groups or
families Of related occupations
so that the individual whose job

changes in industry may read

line Of work"
This job specification work has
been under way for several
months in Baltimore, Newark
and Cincinnati with the 900

appropriation and the $50, 900
foundation funds.

yerS.
Their style cramped ever since
1901 when the present divorce law,
limiting the grounds for absolute
divorce to adultery. was enacted,
Washington attorneys are looking
forward to great Jump in d.
vorce business.
Whereas, heretofore Washing
tonians went to Reno and neigh
boring States for their divorces,
lawyers are now predicting that
the liberalized divorce law will
bring these cases largely into the
local courts.
Similar to Nevada Law
In some respects the new
law is similar to the Nevada law,
except for the great variance In
residence requirements.
In Nevada only six weeks resi-
dence is required before suit for
divorce may be filed, whereas I'm"
der the new District law, the re"
qulrement is one year, except in
cases where the cause Of action
occurs outside of the District,
when two years is required. Under
the old law, three years was re-
quired when the cause occurred
outside of Washington and noNe
at all otherwise.
In addition to adultery, the
new law would add as divorce
grounds desertion for two years.
separation for five years, and
conviction of a felony. The bill
also provides for limited divorce
on grounds Of cruelty. Such a
decree could be made final after
two years.

Miss Pearl Mccall, local at

not one provision in the new
law which at least 40 other
States do not also have. She
also pointed out that under the
new law a decree does not be-
come final for six months, where
as under the present law, the

The arthritis patient was parked in large meadow in the woods and the others spread out for the hunt A bear was start ed and the hunters closed in. Bear, dogs and hunters all arrived at the meadow where the horse-and- buggy hunter was stationed at the same time. The hunters were afraid to shoot for fear of accidents, and the bear decided that the only place of refuge was in the cart.
 True, Oh Yeah!
 Horace fell out and the horse ran away with the bear" Dr, Coun- cil said. We killed the bear under the barn. That is really a true story but nobody ever believes it.'

 Rex Beach led off with the story of cow-puncher riding a mule through the southwest, who roped a bear. He shifted the mule into high but seemed to remain station ary. Looking over his shoulder, he saw the bear pulling himself hand overland up the lariat. The cow boy left the mule shortly before the bear arrived. He fled on foot and again looked back to discover the bear in the saddle building loop in the lasso rope.

What may prove to be the final baseball game of the 1885 City League schedule is set for 5:30 O. clock tomorrow afternoon at Base ball Park when the Legion and the Moose meet in one of those 'do- or-diep affairs.
 Truly, it is a case of door -die." :" If the Legion does tomorrow, then the last game will have been play ed. for that victory will give the Doughboys clear title to the second as well as the first-half crown.
 Of course, if the Moose "do.'' things will be different. The sec ond-half of the schedule will be complete, with the Black Sox as champions, inasmuch as they go in to tomorrow's clash tied with the Legion. That will mean one thing: a Little World Series playoff be- tween the two teams for the all- league championship.
 Probably tomorrow's game will feature a pitching duel between Ward McAlister and Claude Frs kline Those two, undoubtedly, rank as one-two when it comes to su- periority in pitching here. McAlis- ter, the Legion star, has won eight games and lost one. Erskine, the Moose field captain, has won six and dropped three.
 Tomorrow's game. of course, is scheduled tentatively depending up- on the weather Rain, this week, has forced the cancellation of both the Moose-Elk and Legion-Elk con- tests, thereby ending the season for the Antlers.
