MATCH INDUSTRY
ASKS TAX BOOST
Committee Stunned by An.
other Request That Levies
Not Be Lowered.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Members Of House Tax subcom-
mittee said today they had discovered
of all things-some folk who asked
that their levy not be decreased and
some who even wanted it boosted.
Before quitting work for the HOLIDAYS
the subcommittee decided to meet
both requests and incidentally pick up
about 81 100000 in revenue.
Situation Explained.
Members explained the situation this
way:
Manufacturers of wooden and paper
matches have been talking about
equalizing the taxes on the two prod
ucts The levy on wooden matches
OF the common torch variety-is 2
cents a thousand and that on paper
matches in books Is one-half cent q
thousand.
Makers Of wooden matches advised
the subcommittee they did not want
their tax lowered, while manufacturers
OF paper matches said they would
prefer to have their rate lifted to 2
cents.
No reason was given, legislators
said.
Subcommitteemen disclosed also that
IN revising excise and nuisance" tax
provisions OF the revenue law thev
mad agreed tentatively to abolish leyies
on nine items at an annual revenue
loss Of nearly s25,o00,oo
Products Listed.
The products and the approximate
losses for each are: Cameras, s980 o00.
furs, $5,S20,000; brewers wort and
malt. 100000; phonograph records.
sSoo, 900; Toilet soap and tooth paste,
$6,6s2,ooo; chewing gum, 1928, 900;
sporting goods, s6,So2, 900; crude oil
100000.
Altogether the excise levies yield
about s660,o00,o a year. Those
scheduled for repeal, subcommittee
members said, are in some instances
dimcult to administer-as in the case
OF sporting goods. Others produce
little or no revenue in excess of COL
lection costs.
subcommittee members said thev
mad decided not to issue at this time
statement advising business men and
other taxpayers of committee recon-
mendations for tax revision. Nor.
work remained, they asserted, In per-
fecting details Of projected new meth
ods OF taxing capital gains and undis-
tributed corporate profits.

LEASE EFRAUDPLAN
CHARGEDAT PROBE
Rift of Directorate Over
Marble Dispute Detailed
by T. V. A. Head.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 21.--Dr.
A. E. Morgan, chairman of the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, told three
member Federal commission yesterday
he believed there was intent to "de-
fraud the Government" in the pur-
chase Of mineral and marble leases in
the T. v. AS Norris Dam Reservoir.
DR.. Morgan appeared as surprise
witness at hearing in which the
Authority is seeking to have the leases
Of Senator George L. Berry, Democrat,
Of Tennessee and others condemned as
worthless.
He gave his version of rift in the
T. V. A. directorate in 1896, when Dr.
H. A. Morgan and David E. Lilienthal
agreed to conciliate any claims of the
Berry interests for damages to lease
holders.
Refused to Sign Minutes.
The witness said he refused to sign
the T. v. A. directors minutes in
which the agreement was set forth
because 1t seemed to me an effort was
under way to defraud the Govern
ment." He referred to the purchase
of leases.
. Previously, testimony was to the ef-
feet that H. A. Morgan and Lilienthal
agreed with the Berry interests to con-
cillate the claims July 13, 1886, and
had asked Secretary of Interior Ickes
to permit John w. Finch, director of
the United States Bureau of Mines. to
act as conciliator. a
At that time, Chairman Morgan
said, biologists and other experts al
ready had reported that the marble
deposits on the Berry holdings were
without value.
Wrote to Directors.
He said he wrote a confidential let
ter to Directors H. A. Morgan and Lii
lienthal July II, 1886, and told them
the leases had been obtained after
construction Of dam at Cove Creek
had become IAN active possibility;
that one of the chief promoters of the
enterprise was "a close adviser to the
President; that the marble deposits
had no commercial value and that UP
until the dam construction began very
little money was paid on the leases.
At that time, he said, he considered
calling the case to the attention of
President Roosevelt.
The Cancellation agreement paver
was consummated and in May, 1887,
the Authority instituted condemnation
proceedings.

what he says or is he just try
ing to bait me along?
Ans: I don't believe that he
cares as much for you as he is try

does. There seems to be two girls
that he is interested in and he
can't make up his mind between
you. Give him a chance to think
