SALES TAX TO BE
STRONGLY OPPOSED
Washington, D. C., July 27.—The
sales tax as a method of raising any
part of the four billions of revenue
needed by the ‘federal government
next year Is opposed by members of
the House trays and means commit
tee. Chairman Fordney said yester
day at the opening of tax revision
hearings. Only four jays have been
set aside tor the hearings and Mr.
Fordney suggested that witnesses re
train from consuming time Is discus-
cussing such a tax. '
Imposition of a "purchase taXT re
peal of the excise taxes on candy ana
bottled soft drinks and amendment of
the estate tax provision were among
suggestions made to the committee by
witnesses. In addition, the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, in
communication urged a general turn
‘over tax on all business transactions
as a part of a general tax program ad
vanced by It as the result of a final
referendum vote among the commer
cial and industrial organizations
within its membership.
Other recommendations of the
Chamber of Commerce were repeal of
excess profits taxes and war export
taxes, both those on transportation
and a muniflcation and those levied
in relation to particular businesses. In
the place of these taxes, a tax on ull
turnovers was urged.
A tax on personal expenditures was
urged by Representative Mills. Repub
lican, New York. He told the com
mittee that such a tax would encourage
thrift and penalize extravagance. A
somewhat similar proposal was pre
sented by C. P. Landreth, a Philadel
phia manufacturer. »nd E. P. Miller, a
manufacturer of Downlngton. Pa.
They suggested a tax on all purchases
py Individuals, partnerships and cor
porations and estimated on the basis
of current bank clearances that this
tax would yield approximately four
and a half billion dollars annually.
Amendment of the estate tax provi
sion of the revenue law so an estate
would not be required to pay more
nan one tax in five years, was uiged
by u. C. DeFord. a lawy er of Youngs
town. Ohio. The witness clte.l an In
stance where through the death of a
husband and hls widow w-tli i a period
ot nine days the sam: estate had
been taxed twice within that time.
WOULD REQUIRE ARMY OF
MEN TO COLLECT CUSTOMS
UNDER NEW TARIFF BOX
Washington, D. C., July 27.—Over
hauling of rates in the Fordney tariff
will be necessary in order to per- teopathic Association late yesterday
mit its effective administration , the "Many large heads mean more than
Senate finance committee was told i the normal seven tablespoonfuls of
yesterday by George C. Davis, chief I water on tbe brain," Dr. Forbes said.
B1Q HEAD MEANS NOTHING
Cleveland, O, July 27.—Lange heads
no not mean Urge brains. Dr. Harry
W. Forbes, former president of the
Los Angeles College of Ostepathlc
Physicians and Surgeons, told the dele
gates attending tbe twenty-fifth an
nual convention of the American Os-
of the comparitive values estimate in
the New York customs house.
Mr. Davis declared further that if
Congress adopted the American valu
ation plan of levying import duties
even more radical changes in the rates
would have to follow.
The American valuation plan as a
substitute for the present system of
assessing duties on foreign values was
attacked by the customs official who
saw in it the cause for “unending liti
gation ns a general tying up of the
importing business.’’ He added that
as drawn, some of the rates in the
bill administered on an American val
uation basis, meant a “postive phohi-
fcition” of importations. He did not
however, enumerate the commodities
of which he spoke.
Mr. Davis said that none anew what
the effect of the change would be and
predicted it would take years to learn
nearly fifty years of experience
“When this normal amount of braf.
water Is increased tbe volume o
blood which can flow through the
head Is decreased. This lack of blood
circulation gravely impairs all brain
functions."
No reply has been received to a mes
sage sent Monday to Dr. Hugh
Russell of Buffalo, asking him to ap
pear before the convention to answer
charges of alleged violation of pro
fessional ethics for testifying in the
Stillman divorce case. It Is under
stood Dr. Russell is in St. George,
N. B.. on a vacation and will not re
turn until October 1.
Weather Report
LOCAL OFFICE OF THE UNITED
STATES WEATHER BUREAU
Thomasville, Ga.. July 27. 1921.
Weather forecast for Thomasville
under the present plan had back of it I and vicinity: Probably showers to-
court rulings, accepted business prav I n,gllt ant * Thursday,
tices, and a generable stable founda
tion upon which to work. All of this
would be lost in the change, he declar
ed, and another era of llgltatlon gone
through before correct interpretation
could be had of the bill’s provisions.
Mr. Davis said there would be an in
crease in amount of work placed on
the customs service by the new duty
basis, informing the committee that it
could require that evey package en
tering customs would have to be ex
amined. At present, he said, inspec
tors examine only about ten per cent
of the imports. Examination of an
would be required, he asserted, by the
bill’s provisions calling for valuations
on a comparitive or compeitive basis.
Chairman Penrose said he saw need
for an army of men in asessing the
duties under the plan.
The committee also heard Thomas
O. Marvin and William S. Culberson,
members of the tariff commission,
each of whom favored the American
valuation plan.
JOHN HOLDER HAS INNING
IN THE GEORGIA HOUSE
Atlanta. Ga.. July 27.—It was John
Holder day In the Ho-Jsa of Repre
sentatives yesterday.
The fact was draw n to the atten
tion of the House In an unusual sort
of way.
The former Speaker walked the
aisle to the stand fo-- which eight
years he occupied to shake hands with
Speaker Neill and Instantly
House, then In the midst of debate
itubborn fight on a section of
eral tax bill, broke into a
storm of applause that lasted several
minutes and which was net the least
Desk tops, walking canes and Ink
:ands were used vigorously to in-
-ease the din.
So soon as opportunity presented lt-
df Mr. Williams of Walton offered
resolution pausing the House In Ms
linens with which It Is ciulea-
to do something big for the
There has. he said, been much
<nt on the alleged serious tl-
,1 condition of the state, "but,”
said the former speaker, “Georgia Is
not broke, far from It. This slate has
both wonderful and vast assets, and
it but remains for you gentlemen to
devise the equitable and Just means
of realizing on those assets. This old
state Is not starving to death and she
never will."
Mr. Holder referred humorously to
his recent political experience, saying
the speakership did not prove a "step
ping stone," but rather was to him a
'stopping stone"—hut he didn’t Into-
mate by any means the state Is not
to hear from him again In the politi
cal field.

LEE E. KELLY
TREATS BUNDNESS WITH
TEARS OF A SEA MONSTER
York, Pa.—"The Miracle Man of
York,, treats blindness with tbe tears
of a “sea monster."
Hundreds seek hls treatment. Ones
upon a time the “Miracle Man" was
house painter and for $5 he would
spread a gallon or so of paint upon
house. But now it costs from 22
to 29 u drop for the “tears of the sea
monster" and then you have gut u>
drop them In your eyes yourself.
Charlie" Dice, the house painter,
former cowboy, has "struck It rich,’’
according to bis friends. He had a
•notary or did up until a few min
utes ago, when the secretary, des
cribed by one of ,the patients, as
“rather vamplsh,” left. He has a
typewriter. He bas, so be confesses,
an option from several New York
capitalists, oa bis secret "sea mon
ster tears” for 235,000.
Mrs. L. Tyler, the wife of a manu
facturer of Philadelphia, Is one of the
patients Dice says he has treated, and
who, he says, reports her condition
bas improved.
SINN FEIN LEADERS
DISCUSSING PROPOSALS
London, July 27.—The uncanny sil
ence Dublin maintains relative to the
British government’s proposals would
create uneasiness but for the known
fact that Sinn Fein leaders are engag
ed in daily discussions of these propos
als which, as Austin Chamberlin, the
government leader revealed in the
House of Commons yesterday were on
ly “outlines and principles”. This was
interpreted to mean that they afford a
basis for continued negotiations.
No reply has yet been received by
the Prime Minister from Mr. dc Val
era.
According to reports current in Dub
lin, what is called the “rock of Ul
ster,” Is the real obstacle which must
be taken into consideration.
It is clear that from the statements
of Lord Berkinhcad, lord head chan
cellor in the House of Lords, and Mr.
Chamherlain in the Commons, yesto.
dny that the ovemment has not lost
hope of a settlement.
The former announced that the o«-
emment was hopeful that it would tm
able to make a statement at an early
date. Mr. Chamberlain went furthst*
clearly indicating that the government
expected a late automn session In or
der to pass legislation regarding peace
in Ireland.
Pure Guess Work.
Dublin, July 27.—A11 forecasts of
de Valera’s reply to the British gov-
ernment regarding its proposals are
pure guess work. The extremely few
persons knowing the facts will not
divulge them. Desmond Fitzgerald,
the Sinn Fein Minister of propaganda,
says that no announcement is lixei,
for some days.
Indications point to dificulties with
Ulster, Mr. de Valera insisting upon
the unity of Ireland and Ulster’s ad
hesion to a supreme Irish parliament
HAD MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Palatka, Fla., July 27.—S. S. Brown
ing. prominent lumber man and manu
facturer of this city, miraculously es
caped drowning last night when an
automobile in which he was riding
plunged through an “open draw” op
the St. Johns river bridge here, and
after falling fourteen feet caught on
the bridge piling and remained sus
pended with hls front wheels in the
water. Browning clung to the ma
chine until rescued.
A steamer passed through the draw
In the meantime, apparently without
any one aboard knowing of Brown
ing’s predlctment. Beyond a few
bruises he was uninjured. He said he
failed to observe the signal light de
noting that the draw was open.
Good Building Insulation.
Corrugated cardboard or the kind
oaed for packing cases can be used
for insulating buildings against tbs
cold, such Insulation being particular
ly desirable In barns and poultry
houses. The boxes are opened along
tbe Joints and flattened out, tbs ma
terial being applied with short nails
and tin washers, such as used for the
application of rooflng paper.
