"FareweLH But Whenever" BY Thomas Moore

Farewell but whenever you welcome the hour
That awakens the nightsong Of mirth in your bower,
Then think of the friend who welcomed it too,
And forgot his own griefs to be happy with you.
His griefS may return-not hope may remain
Of the few that have frightened his pathway of PAIN
But he er will forget the short vision that threw
Its enchantment around him, while ling ring with you
Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy
Bright dreams of the past which she cannot destroy;
Which come, in the nighttime of sorrow and care,
And bring back the features that joy used to
Long, long be my heart with such memories filled
Like the vase in which have once been distilled
You may break, you may shater the vase, if you WILL
But the scent of the will hang around it STILL

Search for Serum Pushed
With the paralysis apparently
spreading in Virginia, and new
cases having been reported now
in Tennessee, physicians here and
elsewhere are taking great interest
in two efforts being made to de-
velop vaccines and serums to pre-
vent and control the disease.
Within the past year two dis
tinguished medical men have de-
veloped new types Of vaccines and
have administered them to hun
dreds of children and adults.
Working under the direction Of
DR.. William H. Park, director OF
the board of health laboratories
of New York city, DR.. Maurice
Brodie produced a vaccine made
from the crushed spines of mon
keys which had been infected with
the disease. In his vaccine the
virus in inanimate, having been
killed by powerful chemicals.
Live Virus Used
DR.. John A. Kolmer, noted i'm
munologist of Temple University,
Philadelphia, also developed a
monkey vaccine. In his, however,
the virus of the disease is alive,
but its virulence is checked by
the use of chemicals and drugs.
Both doctors have inoculated
themselves and their assistants
with the vaccine with no i'll ef-
fects, and since then they have
administered it to others. They
are hopeful that in time they will
have a cure.
Asked as to the efficacy of the
new vaccines, DR.. Cumming, of

A new House vote on the contro-

presence of two presidential adj

fusing to meet further with Sen.
ate members in an attempt to pla-
cate differences in the measures as
passed by the two houses.
Insistence by Senator Wheeler

the Senate Conference Commit
tee, that Benjamin Cohen, New
Deal lawyer, and Dozier DeVane,
Power Commission official, "sit
in with the conferees, led to the
withdrawal of three House men,

cuSed President Roosevelt of using
objectionable" influence by the
presence of his two advisers.
Both Mr.. Cohen and Mr.. De-
Vane aided in preparation of the
holding company death sentence"
which was rejected by the House
but approved by the Senate.
In announcing his refusal to at
tend further conferences, Repre-
sentative Huddleston said he would
ask the House to vote on the ques-
ton of permitting outsiders to at
tend the hearings.
Continued disagreement by the
Joint conference committee will
lead to appointment of new con-
ferees. according to House lead
ers. The present plan is to name
conferees favorable to the death
sentence" who would ask the
House to recede from it's previous
vote against the provision.
Failure Feared
Leaders predicted, however, that
the House again will reject such
a proposal by overwhelming vote.
They feel that Unless the Senate
alters its demand for holding
company dissolution, the Presi.
dents utility legislation will fail
of final approval during the cur.
rent session of Congress.
Presence of Mr.. De Vane and
Mr.. Cohen at the conferences
thus far has prevented any dis
cussion of the bill itself. Two
meetings were adjourned abruptly
after heated clashes among Sena-
tor Wheeler, Representative Hud-
dleston and Representative
Cooper.
Senator Wheeler said he was
perfectly willing to make a cam
paign issue of the holding COM
pany legislation if the present

BIGTAXBURDEN
FACES WAR BY
CORPORATIONS
Committees Program
Seen Bringing Ruin
To Companies
International News Service

international News Service
Corporations may face a ire
mendous tax burden with return
of prosperity under scheme ten
tatively approved by House Ways
and Means Democrats to enforce
an excess profits tax.
The provision, tentatively incor.
porated in the new 245-million
dollar tax bill, freezes" the CAPT
tai of corporations for taxation
purposes at the 1884 value.
Ruin Seen for Many
While House Democrats declare
the plan is not only fair but would
make the excess profits tax easy
Of operation, one tax expert de-
clared it would ruin half the cor
porations of the country with a
return of boom days.
The scheme works this way:
In 1894 Congress levied a CAPT
tai stock tax of 81 a thousand
and also an excess profits tax
which takes S per cent of profits
over 1917 per cent.
Corporations were allowed to
fix their own capital value. If
they fixed it at a low figure, they
might have to pay an excess
profits tax. If they fixed it at
a high figure, they paid more
capital stock tax.
The new tax bill would provide
ar excess profits tax ranging from
S per cent over 8 per cent profit
to 20 per cent. It also will
freeze" the 1884 capital value
of corporations as a basis for
figuring the excess profits tax,
allowing for future additions or
withdrawal of capital.
The capital value of most cor
porations was at a fairly low fig
ure in 1884, with stock market
prices and values far under nor
NAL.
Should there be a return to
boom times-and the capita !
value of corporations be frozen"
at the 1884 value, hundreds of
corporations would find them
selves paying the high excess
profits taxes in addition to the
regular corporation taxes.
Plan Faces Battle
Tax experts of corporations
who have been closely following
the situation are expected to
launch battle against the pro-
poSal.
While House Ways and Means
Democrats continued to work on
the tentative tax bill, after agree
ing upon the cardinal features,
House leaders announced the tax
bill will be given right-of-way.
Speaker Byrns said the bill will
be passed in the House next week,
if the Ways and Means Committee
is ready. Action, however, is
doubtful before August 6.
Despite tn, fact that House
Ways and Means Democrats in
their compromise plan, all but dis
carded the Presidents proposed
graduated corporation tax, it is ex-
pected to be the subject of a
battle.
While Administration leaders
may drive to put the Presidents
full plan in the bill, a counter
drive will be made to knock it out
altogether.
