Michigan Democrats Consider
Move As Old Guard Repub-
licans Fight Senator

Washington-Senator Couzens,
Independent Republican of Michi-
gan, may become the Democratic
nominee for the Senate and also
run en- an independent Republican
ticket. He was been suggested by
some prominent Democrats of
Michigan as their choice following
increasing Opposition among the
Old Guard and industrial leaders
in Michigan to his reorganization
by the Republican party.
According to reports from Michi-
gan, the opposition to his nomina-
ton is so formidable that much
doubt exists whether MI. Couzens
can overcome the combination
against him in the Republican
primaries. National Democratic
Leaders, upon the suggestion of
Michigan Democrats, are reported
to have indicated to the friends of
Senator Couzens that they would
welcome his running on their tic
ket.
Their reason for this, it is said,
is that Senator Couzens has sup
ported most of the administration
rolicies md exercised mis- political
:, dependence in a constructive way.
His nomination by the Democrats,
with his name also on an indepen-
dent Republican ticket, Michigan
Democrats report, would assure
victory to the Democrats in the
election for Governor and give
them control of the State Legisla-
ture.

The women's attacks today indicat-

many places to fulfill their social

II Firms Listed Paying No Taxes
Byrd Names
Them In Letter
Asserting There Are
Many Others

Washington-Senator Byrd, in a
letter written to Secretary Nor
genthau of the Treasury listed
eleven large corporations that, he
said, would have paid no taxes at
all on their 1884 earnings and d.
vidend distribution if the Revenue
Bill now pending in Congress had
been in effect.
He explained that he was un-
able to obtain the comparable fl
cures for 1885, and he hoped that
Mr.. Morgenthau could supply
them.
Mr.. Byrd is one of the Demo-
cratic members of the Senate Fin
ance Committee who originally
favored the Tax Bill as it passed
the House. His opinion was
changed by the more than a hum
dred witnesses who in testimony
before the committee have op-
posed the measure, which would
levy on undistributed surpluses of
corporations.
Saying that the list could be
"greatly expanded" he declared
that the following Financially
strong companies which he said
were now paying IS per cent,
could on the basis of 1884 incomes
completely avoid taxation"
American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company.
American Tobacco Company.
American Smelling and Refin-
ing Company.
General Electric Company.
Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company.
International Harvester Com
pany.
National Biscuit Company.
National Dairy Products Com
pany.
Ohio Oil Company.
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany.
Texas Company.
The corporations that would
have escaped all taxes were those
that paid out dividends in excess Of
their net income in that year, &C
cording to Mr.. Byrd. He added a
list of thirteen corporations that
had paid out practically as much
as they had earned in that year, he
said, adding that their taxes under
the pending bill would have ranged
from one-fourth of 1 per cent to
A. per cent of their net income. >
He included still another list of
sixteen corporations whose taxes,
he declared, would have run from
|5.22 to 9.37 per cent of their net
income. They were firms that
paid out substantially less in divi-
dends than they took in as net in
come in 1884.

(Autocaster) - Whatever final
form the new tax bill may take,
the necessity for raising additional
revenues was emphasized by Secre-
tary Morgenthau, when he inform
ed the Senate Finance Committee
hat the Federal Government de-
ficit for this fiscal year will run
to $5,966,00O,0O0 Mr.. Morgen-
thau arrived at that figure by in
GLIDING the entire bonus payments:
of some 1000, 100000, in this
years expenditures, although much
of that money will not be paid
out until the next fiscal year:
which begins July 1. Neverthe-
less, he made it very clear that the
Treasury is deeper in the red than
ever before and that something has
to be done about it.
Whether the plan which the
President proposed and which has
been shaped into a evenue bill will
produce the necessary additional
income is one of those debatable
questions to which nobody can give
a positive answer until after a year
Of two of experience. Probably
more serious attention would have
been given to such proposals as
that of Sen. La Toilette, for broad
ening the income tax to include
small incomes and increase the lev
les on large incomes, if this were
not an election year.
In an election year it is regarded
as bad politics for the party in
power to impose new taxes calcu-
lated to touch the pocketbook of
the ordinary voter.
Farm Loan Bill Again
In the light of Mr.. Morgenth-
aus statement it is clear that the
Governments income must be in
creased by at least one-third, or
that expenditures must be reduc-
ed in the same proportion. And in
an election year it is just as hard
for politicians to bring themselves
to curtail the distribution of pub
lie money as it's to widen the tax
range. Their inclination, on the
contrary, is all the other way.
This inclination to spend. ac-

$4,000, 100000 of currency, not
backed by anything but the Gov
ernment's credit, to be used in
making loans on farm mortgages
at l IL percent. Though the
House is friendly to this plan, there
seems to be little likelihood that
the Senate will stand for it. 1t
gives a lot of the boys on Capitol
Hill, however, a chance to put
themselves on record as being
friends of the farmer.
The passage by the Senate of
the so-called Price Discrimination
Bill, otherwise popularity known as
the Anti-C Chain Store Bill, does not
mean necessarily that this will be-
come a law. 1t would put control
of a great deal of the distribution
of food stuffs and other commodi-
ties in the hands of the Federal
Trade Commission, with arbitrary
power to fix the discounts which
wholesalers might grant in consid-
Grafton of large purchases. Back
of this bill a powerful lobby, or
gained by wholesale grocery in
terests, has been at work for some
time.
The wholesalers have been con-
cerned over the loss of business,
due to chain stores, mail~order
houses and other large distributing
organizations who can buy direct
from manufacturers and produc-
ers as cheaply as the wholesalers
can, and often even at lower prices.

mail-order houses are unpopular

drunker he got the more melancholy

desperately alone, for in the society

with eyes that burned with the flame
of her passion. All, she was lovely
and from the first she had gazed upon
him in a manner that, but for their
