RECKLESS GUN
FOR INFANTRY
MEETS FAVOR

WASHINGTON. March g. Up
Application of the new "kickless"
principle to army rifles was re-
Vealed today to increase consider
ably the accuracy and effectiveness
OF the lnfantry's principal weapon.
Tests have shown that by re-
moVal of the kick" the accuracy
OF rifle range fire was increased
approximately so per cent.
The infantry mans interest in
new gun developments was inspir-
ed by revelation Of plans to pro-
duce a new automatic or semi
automatic rifle of 80 or so calibre
which would have no more kick"
at its butt than the ordinary %
sporting rifle.
Plans and blueprints for con-
struction of such RECKLESS" army
rifle, of the automatic or semi
automatic type, already have been
drawn and await only an appro-
priation with which test models
can be built. Ordinance experts be-
A+NHS IllCoC IllOOGlo Will MAKE Jlt
kick of the army rifle as obso-
lete as the mechanical and motor
lied unit of the army have made
the kick of the army mule.
The principle employed is the
same as that used to eliminate the
kick" or recoil of the "kickless"
machine guns and larger calibre
rapid-fire guns. A small part of
the powder gas is drawn from the
rifle barrel, just forward of the
firing chamber, into a separate
chamber below the barrel. This is
used to thrust forward a piston
which strikes buffer in the front
end of the chamber at the pre-
else moment the bullet is leaving
the rifle barrel.
The forward surge of this piston
and its action against the front
buffer gave a forward thrust to the
rifle at the same time the powder
thrust is giving a backward kick.
The two impulses are balanced so
evenly that the weapon remains
steady.

NUISANCE TAX HIKE
PLAN OF TREASURY

WASHINGTON, March g. UP)-A
schedule of sharp increases in nuis-
ance and inheritance taxes has been
submitted to the house tax sub
committee by the treasury as posi-
bic alternatives to President Roose-
velt's proposal to increase revenues
$500, 100000 by a corporate surplus
tax.
These proposals, with other al
tentative schedules submitted to the
subcommittee of the house ways
and means committee, met so cool
a reception that prospect of enact
ment of a tax measure along the
lines proposed by President Roose-
welt was strengthened substantial
ly.
This committee sentiment was
believed strengthened, also, by an
unsigned treasury memorandum
accompanying the alternative tax
schedules indicating the treasury
viewed most of these substitutes
with little favor.
other alternatives included
schedules Of manufacturers sales
taxes to raise as much as s530,000,-
900 in new revenue and income tax
changes increasing. the yield from
that source by SAG, 100000.
Schedule Submitted
Committee sentiment appeared to
be strong for all features of the
Presidents proposals. Except that
for reenactment of a modified pro-
cessing tax. There were indications
this tax might be dropped.
The latest alternative schedules
submitted by the treasury included:
/. An increase Of Y cent in the
present one cent a gallon gasoline

Public Ownership
Reduces Electric
Costs to Farmers

Public ownership and cooperation
have reduced the cost of electricity
to farmers in Mississippi from one
half To as low as e-eighth of what
1t costs under private ownership in
other states, according to a survey
made of conditions existing where
the iva power is distributed
through the agency of that publicly
owned plant.
The survey was made by Con-
gresham John E. Rankin, of Mis-
sissippi, and he points out the fol-
flowing price comparisons: Farm
ers in those areas served by the
IVA could secure 20 kilowatts of
electricity a month at a cost of rs
cents. The same amount of cur
rent under private ownerhip and
operation will cost the farmer in
Pennsylvania, 50; in Iowa. $3.50; in
New York. Sc: in Arkansas, S4 and
in California, S1.80.
Low cost of electricity under pub
lie ownership is but one advantage
TO which attention is called in this
survey and almost equal emphasis
IS laid on the fact that due to low
rates under this system of disyibu-
ton an increasing number ofEslec-
trio appliances are being used by
these farmers for their homes and
also to aid them in their farm work.
# this same system could be put to
work in other parts of this country,
the survey states, lit would still
further help to encourage the use
Of electricity with all its comforts
and advantages throughout the
rural communities"
This is one of the strong factors
upon which the proposed power
program of the Imperial Irrigation
District is founded and would do
Tor this county what is being ac-
complished so strikingly in other
parts of the country.
