Senate finance committee today
virtually completed a tax bill to
take $4,000, 100000 a year from
taxpayers. of which about $1,000
OOO, 900 would be refunded after
the war. One of the most impor-
tant changes made today would
allow Michigan residents to de-
duct their state retail sales tax
from their income tax.
Senator George Cd Of Georgia,
chairman, said that the committee
expects 10 complete action on
revenue provisions of the bill Mon
day and then will consider war
profits limitation and renegotla-
ton of government contracts.
2 Billion Refund
"The treasury estimate OF net
revenue In the bill Is $7,l0I,-
OO,OOO--not including approx
mateIy $1,000. 100000 which
would he collected from tax
payers and returned in post
war credits--and that In about
$3.50. 900, 900 higher than the
total In the House BILL" said
George.
Sharp differences arose between
the experts Of Congress and the
treasury over the estimates OF the
amount the bill eventually will
rake into the treasury's tills.
Treasury experts figured the 5
per cent Victory gross income
Weld at $4,000, 100000 a year; con-
gressional tax counsels placed the
return at $3,600,000,000.
The total federal tax would be
boosted to approximately S26, 900,
100000, including treasury esti-
mates of the new bill and levies
already in effect.

lowed 10 live AS freemen in some
part Of the country and engage
in the war production program.

Ferguson Co. Again Largest Civer

Upon inquiry as to how the con-
tributors for the Jackson Negro
Christmas Cheer Club is progress
sing, we find that while the need
of help for the INDECENT Negro poor
in Jackson is much greater than
last year, due to great curtail-
ment of Government Relief spend
ing, we also find that many con-
tributors are doubling their last
years contribution.
At this writing the fund has al
ready reached the $1,000 mark and
more contributions were expected
by Dr. S. D. Redmond, president
of the club.
Again this year, the Ferguson
Furniture Company has the distinc-
ton of being the most outstand-
ing contributor, with gift of $3.50.
Persons desiring these baskets
were registered at the Central M.
E. Church, Thursday, and Friday,
December 1913.
DR.. Redmond said the club was
having more requests for baskets,
so far, than last year and he fur
ther stated that Just so long as
some are given five and ten tai

talents at all, there will always
be some who will live so near the

Dreaded Senegalese Expected To
Reinforce Allies In Africa

From the land of battling Sikh,
French West Africa, may come to
reinforce the United Nations Ar
mics some $4,000 of the most fea-
red and effective soldiers of France
the dreaded Senegalese.
These black troops are particu-
larly formidable in desert fight
ing at close quarters, with the
bayonet, rifle and machine gun.
Already, under Fighting French
command in the Chad region, Ne
gro troops have confirmed the al
most legendary reputation they ca
rned on the battletields of France
IN the last war
II supplied by the United States
and Britain with new equipment,
the Senegalese along with other
veteran French Colonial troops, it
is believed, can constitute a form
liable addition to the armies now
at the disposal of General Eisen-
hover in the African war
Fighting French sources in Was
hingLon estimate that there are
around $4,000 Senegalese at Dakar
and an additional $4,000 scattered
throughout the French Tertiary.
1t was French Colonial Troops,
including Senegalese, who in the
Chad province struck one of the
first blows for French liberation
by preventing a junction between
the Italian Libyan Army of Acos-
Ia in the early days of the French
armistice.
One reason for the excellent fl
ghCing spirit of the French native
soldiers is the attitude of the Fre-
ncn IN not establishing rigid color
bars. The French have exhibited
far less racial bias against the
native than have Anglo-Saxons.
The educated native becomes citi-
zen of France with the same rights
as white Frenchman A black

of Deputies and under Secretary
of State. And Felix Eboue is now

out production practices. For es-
tablishing pastures and building
terraces, there are no limitations
on payments.
Each farm operator will fill out
a farm plan sheet on which will
be listed the kind and acreage of
war crops such as soy beans and

Failure to plant at least go per

However, farmers can substitute
war crops, such as soybeans and
peanuts planted in excess of 90 per
cent of the goal of such crops for
cotton acre for acre. Farmers who
fail to plant up to 80 per cent of
their crop goals will incur crop
payment deductions at the rat of

COlOred Wards
At San To Close
AS Nurses Quit

Because all Negro Nurses at the
Mississippi tuberculosis Sanitor-
ium are quitting at the end of the
current month, most of them ac-
cept places as army nurses, the
negro wards at the institution will
be closed within the next few
days.
In announcing the closing of ne
gro wards, DR.. Henry Boswell, SUI
perintendent, says:
II regret more than / can say
that this step has to be taken.
Our place for the colored is enter
ey too small, but it has been do
ing a wonderful piece of work for
them and it seems to me really
disgraceful state of affairs when
/ am unable to secure colored nur-
ses to take care of their own race
and this is especially true when the
colored nurses are paid the same
salary as the white nurses doing
the same type of work. Conse-
quently, there can be no dissatis-
faction on the part of any of the
colored nurses from the salary sta
ndpoint, no more than we have in
the white nursing profession, and
it does seem to me that some men,
bers of the race would have inter-
est enough in their sick to help us
out when we are trying to do so
much for them, but this has not oc-
CURED and it is with deep regret
that I close this part of the in
stitution within the next week.
Prior to reaching this decision
DR.. Boswell had spent several we
eks in an earnest but fruitless eff
fort to replace the negro nurses
who were quitting, and had appea-
led to some of the leading negroes
of the state for assistance in get
ting practical nurses.
