ed to speak, but a quiet, familiar voice interrupted at her side.
 Pardon, Miss Lane, but if this gentleman is selling you Sioux Springs because the railroad is com- ing in, I can tell you it isn't"
 Ashton Oaks whirled, his face blue with anger. His first impulse was to lunge at Mark, but he held back.
 "What-what do you mean?" he stammered. "The railroads not coming to Sioux Springs? Who who are you, anyway? Miss Lane, I'm sorry, but this gentleman is a liar!"
 Marks fist shot out in one vicious blow and the agent staggered against the desk. There was sud- den uproar in the sweltering little lobby. A settler grabbed Mark, but Deuel broke loose, lunged toward Oaks. The agent, hatless, was snarl-

EXCESS PROFITS
 TAX BILL DRAFT
Provision That Is Designed
 to Protect Small, Weak 1 Corporations
BY JOHN R. BEAL

United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, August 27. - An ex- cess profits tax bill containing rEo- visions to protect small and weak corporations awaited only formal drafting today before being intro duced in the House.
 Instead of single schedule carry ing rates from 25 to 40 per cent the committee decided on two, with rates from 20 to 50 per cent. A minimum credit against the excess profits tax of a six per cent return on the first $500,000 of invested capital was increased to seven per cent.
 There were other, less important, laSt-minute changes, but these two served to provide substantial increase in the anticipated reve- nue. Experts have not submitted official figures, but it was estimated unofficially that the bill might yield $500, 100000 on 1940 corporation in come instead of $165, ,000.
 Chairman Robert L. Doughton of the ways and means committee, who said he couldn't be happier over anything" than that his group had agreed unanimously on so compli- cated and important subject as excess profits taxes, expects to be able to introduce the bil today.
 If the draft is completed in time, this will permit the House to be- gin consideration-and possibly pass the bill-on Thursday, Doughton thought.
 Covers Three Fields In its present form the bill cov- CTS three fields:
 1. Suspension of the profits lim- itations imposed on airplane and warship manufacturers with gov ernment contracts.
 2. An amortization or write-oft program to permit manufacturers of national defense materials to re- capture the cost of plant expansion in five years. 3. The excess profits tax.
 The tax will apply only to corpor- ations, and not to individuals ol partnerships. AS a basis for de. termining what are excess" profits the Bill selects the years 1886 tC 1889 inclusive, to be known as "bast period years"
 In a general way when a corpora ton 'sincome tops the income o1 these base period years that addi' tions income tops the income O excess profits tax.

JESSE H. JONES
 IN HOPKINS JOB
But President Wants Him Also to Stay Loan Administrator
BY T. F. REYNOLDS


 Washington, Aug. 27.-UP)- President Roosevelt leaves for a week away from the White House | tonight as congress awaits his pro- posal to place the Commerce De- partment and the Federal Loan Ad- ministration temporarily under the direction of one man - Jesse H. Jones of Texas.
 The White House had announced the Presidents plans to name Jones secretary of commerce, to succeed Harry L. Hopkins, without relieving him of his job as federal loan ad- ministrator. The move was inter- preted as designed to appease busi- ness interests and strengthen the cabinet. Under present law, one can can't hold two federal offices.
 MT. Roosevelt leaves for Hyde Park for a few days of rest before going to the Tennessee Valley over the week end to deliver two speech es at the dedication of new IVA dam and the opening of the great Smoke National park. The proposal | to give Jones the two jobs will not be submitted to congress until the President returns next Tuesday. Tobin In New Position Two other announcements were made by the White House as the President cleared his desk for weeks absence. MT. Roosevelt &C., cepted the resignation of Daniel J Tobin as one of his administrative assistants. Tobin, chief of the American Federation of Labor's Teamsters Union, has been an as- SiStant for only 8 few months. He resigned to help the Democratic National Committee get the labor vote in the fall election.
 The other move, not directly con. nected with politics but bearing ar important relation to the campaign was the signing by the President o1 an executive order combining tht marketing facilities for power gen. erated at the Grand Couee ant Bonneville dams on the Columbis river.
 The President said that the mer. ger order resulted from emergency conditions necessitating coordina' ton of power facilities of the twt projects to make available cheal electrical energy for defense indus tries in the northwest. He Signec the order, however, only the day before Sen. Charles L. McNary, public power advocate, was to de liver his speech at Salem, Ore, ac' cepting the Republican vice -presi dential nomination.
 Regarding MT. Roosevelt's desir, to make Jones both a cabinet mem Der and lending administrator, tn, White House emphasized that had no intention to destroy the in dependent status of the Fedora Loan Administration.
 Under MT. Roosevelt's plan, joint resolution next Tuesday vii be introduced in both House an, Senate authorizing Jones to serv both as secretary of commerce an, Federal Loan administrator, re ceiving, however. only the si5.00 salary to which he would be en titled as a member of the cabinet.
 White House Secretary stephel T. Early. in announcing the plar indicated definitely that Jones cabl net nomination would not be sen to the senate unless the resolution l approved.

Carrle vas reaQy ana WalCu1g when Ashton Oaks drove up to the hotel in his rented buggy later for her in the morning. She had pre- pared a lunch. Mrs. Farley had sug- geSted it when Carrie told her the land agent had offered to drive her out to her new homestead.
 Rock Creeks more'n nine miles north of town" Mrs. Parmley said. That's quite little ride and the road ain't much across the prairie. You'll need somethin' pretty good to stick to your ribs along about noontime.
 And say" she added, her arms akimbo, and winking knowingly, If it don't make no difference to you, who is this land agent fellow any, how?" That was the way Ma kept up on the days news, asking peo- pie questions, pertinent and inl- pertinent. But nobody seemed to mind, including Carrie. Mrs. Parm- ley invited confidence.
 Carrie explained she had met him on the train out of Chicago that when he had learned she was COullIlS OO EolOuA 0PAAASo AiC AoN offered to help her get settled. He was buying several town lots in Sioux Springs himself, he had told her, and would clean up with the railroad due to come in soon. When she returned from the land office he had suggested he hire buggy to take her out to Rock Creek next day. She had accepted.
 Ashton Oaks was patronlzingly ly pleasant now as he assisted Carrie up into the buggy.
 Town look any better to you to- day. Miss Lane?" he inquired.
 "Oh. yes, ever so much better. Leaving him at the hotel last night Carrie had had her first twinge oi foreboding about Sioux Springs, the west and homesteading. Really there was no town and the prairie seemed to swallow up both ends oi the single main street With a sud den, short stab of fear she recalled Colonel Barrington's words-"Thi! is no country for a woman-alone.
 But now, in the bright morning sunlight, Carrie was actually more assured. Things somehow looked better today with the wagons rat. ting forth and back, churning III the dust, a long line of settlerI forming again at the low. squa land office down the street. Thert was a purpose. a new hope here she sensed now, for the first time.

ing, his hand at his side.
 Mark was stopped again. Carrie, grasping his lapels, was begging, pleading with him.
 "Don't-don't!" she cried. He he'll kill you" She almost screamed the words.
 Mark strengthened. Men crowded around him, separating him from the glowering agent. Someone was handing Oaks his hat. Carrie was looking up inploringly into Marks eyes.
 'Miss-Miss Lane" he reddened, I'm sorry, but couldn't see that happen. Some day I may tell you why. think you'd better go to your room now"
 He turned, elbowed his way through the buzzing lobby. But not before he had read in Carrie Lanes eyes more than she had cared to speak. l (TO. Be COntinued)

 MARK DEUEL-a homesteader who keeps his business to himself.
 ASHTON OAKS-a land agent, with town lots to sell.

supposedly an authority" on Connecticut now. His greatest contribution to date was the de- livery of a recitation Of poetry at the Democratic State Convention.
 Smoky Jenson got back in time to attend that convention and he wasn't very happy about the out come. Former Governor Cross was, as Smoky reports, the choice of the people" He was certainly a long favorite among most intelli- gent people from the country townships. Smoky claims that Willkie will surely win in this State now. If Cross had run, the outcome might not have been 50 sure.
 MT. Jenson was also mighty sour about the nomination of Odell Shepard. Smoky claims that Shepard doesn't know anything about agriculture, milk produc- ton, or the common people of Connecticut. In a recent book, MT. Shepard wrote glowing account of Yankee cussedness in the man. ufacture of "leaky calf-weaners." (Smoky knows that calf weaners are simply an assortment of sharpened spikes attached to a calf's nose, and there's no way for one to leak. Leakage is something else again.)
 Judge Otto of New Rochelle was a week end visitor in South Bri- tain and he brings the news that this column receives a lot of at- tention down his way. Too bad the judge isn't a voter here. If he was, maybe the democrats would have a chance, even with Professor Shepard reciting poetry for the cause.
