HARRISON HINTS
RAISE IN TAXES
Lowering of Exemptions in
Income Levies May Be
Needed, He Says.

Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi said today that unless there
is a pickup in business before Con-
eress meets it might be necessary to
lower income tax exemptions and in
crease the levies in the middle
brackets.
Senator Harrison Is chairman of
the Senate Finance Committee. An
upturn in business. he said, proba bly,
would increase Government revenues
so that the revisions would be un-
necessary.
Senator Harrison added in an in
terview that he believed there would
be no necessity of revising the undis-
tributed profits tax as enacted in the
1888 law, unless we have not removed
the inequities and hardships that we
believed we took out of the old law"
He made it plain that he would op-
pose any return to the higher 1896 un-
distributed profits tax Controversy
over this issue was forecast when
President Roosevelt. allowing the 1898
tax bill to become law without his sig
nature, criticized the revision Of this
tax.
Senator Harrison said he thought a
constitutional question would be in
volved in any attempt to tax Federal
and State government securities which
are now tax exempt.
He said he thought there was no
doubt the Federal Government could
tax its own securities without a con-
stitutional amendment but that the
whole question" should be settled At
the same time.
Senator Harrison said that in any
event it would be necessary for Con-
eress to enact tax bill at the COM
ing session because so-called "nui-
sance" taxes on miscellaneous items
expire in 1899. He said he believed
1t would be necessary to extend these
taxes, which have raised about $780,
100000 year.
The finance committee chairman
said he believed the 1888 tax bill had
been very helpful" in improving eco
nomie conditions in the country. He
said he thought there was no senti-
ment in Congress for Z return to the
1885 undistributed proffts tax.

PLAN TO CELEBRATE
250TH ANNIVERSARY
SMEDENRORG,S BIRTH

a MAZING as 1t seems that one
: mind could encompass SO many
varied realms Of knowledge, never
theless it is true that Emanuel
Swedenborg, the 250th anniversary
Of whose birth will be observed Jan.
uary 20, 1888, made important con.
tributions in many fields of science,
theoretical and practical, in states
manship, philosophy, and religion.
In 1716-1718 he published the first
scientific periodical in Sweden, con-
tanning records Of his mechanical
inventions and mathematical dis
coveries, which included the first
atrplane design to have fixed wings
and moving propeller, the first air
pump to employ mercury, and the
description of method for determin-
ing latitude and longitude at sea by
observations Of the moon among the
stars. As assessor of the Swedish
Board Of Mines he devised many
improvements in the mining in
dustry of his day, and his works on
iron and copper were authoritative
throughout Europe. In the "Princi-
pia," work on physics and cosmoI-
ogy, he arrived at the nebular
hypothesis theory before Kant and
Laplace. He advanced a molecular
magnetic theory which anticipated
certain modern views, and he was
$50 years ahead Of any other scien-
tist in his works on the functions of
the brain and spinal cord, and on the
functions of the ductless glands.
Swedenborg served as an active
member Of the parliament Of his
country for more than fifty years,
introducing fiscal reforms and much
general legislation. He published
works on algebra, higher mathemat-
les, chemistry, engineering, physi-
cal science, metals and metallurgy.
anatomy, physiology, psychology,
and philosophy.
At the age of flfty-five Emanuel
Swedenborg discontinued his scien-
ttfic pursuits and began his work as
a theologian, publishing the "Arcana
Coelestia, Apocalypse Explained;
Heaven and He'll; -Four Doc
trines"; Divine Love and Wisdom;
Divine Providence; Apocalypse
Revealed; "Conjugal Love-; "True
Christian Religion; and other mis-
cellaneous theological works. Infor-
