a separate bill should be drawn

At Forgiiviing
Taxes for 1912

WASHINGTON. Jan. % 0NS)
An overwhelming majority OF
the House ways and means com
mittee members is in favor of
pay-as-you-go income taxes, but
the members views on forgiveness
OF 1912 taxes should disillusion
taxpayers who believe that any
large-handed generosity will be
shown them.
A poll of the committee men,
bers today by international News
Service revealed strong opposition
TO the proposal of Beardsley Ruml,
chairman of the board of the
Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, TO skip most of the 1912
tax liabilities.
Most committee members were
willing to consider forgiving part
of the 1912 taxes possibly all
taxes up 10 a moderate income
level. But a majority of both
Democrats and Republicans ap-
peared TO be averse 10 wiping the
1912 tax slate clean.
President Roosevelt has en-
dorsed the pay-as-you-go principle,
but has eVinced strong distaste for
forgiving the 1912 taxes owing TO
the revenue loss to the treasury.
A similar position has been taken
by Rep. Robert Doughton Cd of
North Carolina, chairman of the
ways and means committee.

Razor Not in Demand
In China; Whiskers Few

Many Chinese men never use a
razor, for little, if any, hair is
found on their faces. If a Chinese
fails to shave, he may grow a
thin mustache and scraggly beard,
but he can hardly hope for more.
Except in rare cases, the beard
will grow to a length of only few
inches.
To explain these facts, it can
only be said that nature does not
give the Chinese a rich growth of
hair. The hair of the head is a
different matter. It grows well on
both women and men in China. It
is black and stays that way until
it turns gray in old age.
