PLAN FOB SALES TAX
MEETS WITH DEFEAT
DEMOCRATS VOTE AGAINST THE
P» N SOLIDLY—ALSO SEVEN
TEEN REPUBLICANS
LENROOT LEADS IN FIGHT
Alto Predicts Soldier Bonus Will Be
Left Out Os Bill, But Passed
Before Next July
Washington.—The sales tax was re- j
jected recently by the senate.
The vote, 4.'! against to 25 for. wan I
on a proposal by Senator Loot, Repub
lican, Utah, for a one per cent levy I
with exemptions provided in the case
of sales by farmers of the products
of their farms, sales by public utilities j
and those by the United States or any j
foreign government or any state or
territory, the army and navy hospit- i
tils.
The Democrats voted solidly |
against the sales tax and were Joined
by seventeen Republicans.
Senator la>ot in reply to a question
contended that the "government’s re
quirements would he amply met”
through the six sources of revenue he
proposed. He added that he had rea
i.on to believe there could be a reduc
tion in the rate of the tax after the
next fiscal year.
The amount which he proposed to
levy, he continued, was so small as
to he infinitesimal when considered
in the daily purchases.
Opening the argument against the
sales tax, Senator Lenroot, Republic
an, Wisconsin, took Issue with Sen
jilor Smoot that seventy-five per cent
of the people of the country favored
the sales tax. There had been a great
propaganda for the sales tax, he de
clared, but contended that it would
not change the Income lax of Individ
uals or (orporations. A sales lax, he
continued, was justified only when
all other sources of taxation had been
exhausted and the government still
was short of revenue.
Referring to the Reed soldier bonus
amendin' nl. Senator lenroot predict
ed that the soldier bonus would not
be Included in the tax bill but that it
would not lose by the delay as under
the bill held up recently no cash
would have been paid until next July
1.
Mr. Lenroot contended that the tax
would cut with a double edge, striking
the consumer through accumulation
in a rising market or In a period of
depressed prices and small sales
When prices were advancing, he
raid, the entire tax would he pussed on
to the consumer by the manufacturer
with an extra added tribute added, ;
while with prices tending downward j
competition would prevent the pass
ing on of the lax.
A ti per cent tax on sales might [
easily mean, Mr. Lenroot said, n tax
of HO to 60 per cent of (he net in :
come of a firm through inability to
pa:-s it on. He characterized tin* pro- ,
josal as class legislation In this res
pect.

MINERS MAY GO ON STRIKE:
Judge's Orders Forbid Operators
From Withholding Union Dues From
Minors Pay Envelopes
Indianapolis.—A nation-wide strike
of coal miners seemed Inevitable re
cently if operators heed the injunction
; issued by Federal Judge A. B Ander
son. which prescribed the “checkoff”
of union dues.
A telegraam eent from headquarter
of the United Mine Workers of Ainer
! lea after it had been definitely learn
ied that the Injunction was not yet
jin efffect, advised union officials to
regard discontinuance of the “check
off” as breaking the existing wage
- agreement.
The telegram, signed by President
| John L. Lewis, Vice President Philip
Murray and Secretary William Green,
uaid:
"Any abrogation or setting aside of I
any part or section of this agreement, j
: including the section providing for the
checking off of dues and assessments,
i can not be regarded as other than a J
violation of the agreement, and should
| be treated accordingly by tile district !
officers and local unions.”
While no course of conduct for un- j
| ion officials was outlined by the tele- ]
gram, it was said authoritatively that j
the international offficers regarded [
the strike as the union's only weapon
to enforce a contract. The telegram !
was sent to officials in sixteen states,
where the checkoff provision obtains
and where 350,000 of the 550,000 union ■
miners are employed.
The text of (he telegram follows:
“As a result of the disagreement j
between the United Mine Workers of I
America and the coal operators in the j
fall of 1910 it was suggested by the |
government of the United States the j
miners and the operators submit all j
their differences to a commission ap- j
pointed by the president of the United |
States, said commission to have full
authority to render an award covering
every proposition involved. The Uni
ted Mine Workers agreed to this pro
gram and the commission in due time
rendered an award which they de
cided must be written into the form
of an agreement by and between the
coal operators and the United Mine
Workers of America, to he in full
force and effect until March 31, 1922.
“Following the rendition of this
award by the United States Bitumi
nous coal commission, functioning un
der governmental authority, the pres
ident of the United States in a letter
addressed to the coal operators and
the United Mine Workers of America
commanded both sides to meet in
joint conference and duly execute
such agreement was duly signed in
New York City on March 31, 1920. It
is, therefore, obvious that said joint
! agreement honorably entered into and
executed in due form under the direc
lion of the government of the United
States cannot be modified or changed
In any of Its provisions until the date
jof its expiration, March 31, 1922. Any
abrogation or setting aside of any
j part or section of this agreement, in
j eluding the section providing for the
! checking off of union dues and assess
ments, can not be regarded ns other ■
than a violation of the agreement and

HOPES FUTILE FOR
FOREIGN ALLIANCES
AMBASSADOR HARVEY DECLARES
HOPES FOR FOREIGN ALLI
ANCES ARE IMPOSSIBLE
SAYS 11. S. WILL NOT ENTER
American Representative Dissipates
Movement For Anglo-American-
French Treaty At One Stroke
London —In an unequivocal declara
tion that the United States will not
be drawn Into any foreign alliance
whatsoever, Ambassador George Har
vey has definitely extinguished the
hope of England that the disarmament
! and Pacific problems might be solved
through triple agreements—one be
tween America, France and England,
the other between America, England
and Japan.
Harvey’s speech, because of its
j clear-cut decisiveness and the confi
; dence with which it was delivered, is
viewed here as an official enunciation
| of the views of the Washington ad
ministration.
The ambassador, speaking before the
! chamber of commerce at Liverpool,
look his text from the recent speech
| of Lord Derby in which the belief was
expressed not only that a definite alli
j ance between France, Great Britain
and America was desired, hut that
America would shortly he willing to
join in such an agreement. Harvey re
! ferred to this hope as “futile.”
“It seems to have fallen to my un
happy lot since 1 have been in Eng
land, to dispel illusions in respect
| to the attitude of the United States,”
the ambassador declared.
"Nevertheless, I cannot escape the
conclusion that nothing will be gained
by blinking at the truth. Indeed 1 can
conceive of no more effective a service
on the part of a minister, desirous, as
I am, of eliminating all causes of ap
prehension, than to set forth frankly
any certainty which may hear upon the
immediate future, however disappoint
ing it may he to my hearers.
"Pursuance of this policy, right or
wrong, as it may lie, impels me to say
frankly that the hope voiced by Lord
Derby, must be regarded as futile.”
Harvey reiterated that George Wash
ington had fixed the foreign policy of
the United States when he advised
America to avoid entangling foreign
alliances.
"That principle has been reaffirmed
by practically all his successors,” the
ambassador declared. “It was reiter
ated with great positiveness in our lat
est national campaign by our present
president, and confirmed by a major
ity of the people."
Colonel Harvey continued that he
was stating a fact that could not be
escaped when he pronounced the en
try of the United States into any per
manent alliance, "however desirable
that action may seem to be, an utter
impossibility."
Estimated Outgo Os U. S. Lowered
Washington.—Estimated expendi

| Harding has informed congress in a let
i ter to Speaker Gillett. The new esti
! mate was presented by the president in
(•bnnectlon with deficiency estimates
iof appropriations of $187,922,576.44,
I which, Mr. Harding said, were taken
into consideration in arriving at the
new estimates for 1922 expenditures.
More Money To Run Government
Washington.—President Harding re
cently asked congress for additional

HEAD OF LEGION IS CHOSEN
Immediate Federal Compensation For
Service Men Urged—Ex Soldiers
Cheer Wilson
Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo.
—The national convention of the
American Legion adjourned here re
cently after electing Hanford Mac-
Nider, of Mason City, lowa, national
commander, selecting other officers
and adopting resolution covering a
wide range of subjects. The conven
tion had been in session without a
recess since an early hour of the day.
The election of Mr. MacNider to
succeed John G. Emery, of Grand
Rapids, Mich., was made unanimous
after more than half of the state del
egations had seconded his nomination,
and three other candidates nomina
ted, Koy Hoffman, Os Oklahoma City;
Earl M. Cline, of Nebraska City, Neb.,
and John F. Williams, of Joseph, Mo.,
had withdrawn in his favor.
The vice commanders chosen were:
George L. Berry, of Rogersville,
Tenn.; H. Nelson Jackson, of Burling
ton, Vt., and Charles Kendrick, of San
Francisco, representing the army and
Raymond Bracket, of Marblehead,
Mass., and J. A. McCormick, of Fort
Lyon,' Colo., for the navy.
The Rev. Earl Blackman, of Cha
nute, Kan., a minister of the Chris
tian church. Disciples of Christ, was
elected national chaplain.
The new commander was brought
to the platform amid cheers and a
big lowa standard was raised over
his head. He thanked the delegates
for the honor and declared he real
ized his responsibility as chief of the
legion.
Mr. MacNider impressed upon the
legionnaires that the strength of the
legion rested within the local posts
and not at national headquarters.
He stated that his program would
be headed by efforts to do everything
possible for the disabled ex-soldiers.
"I stand ready for your commands,”
he said in closing.
Mr. MacNider was wounded at St.
mihiel and holds the following dec
orations: Distinguished service cross
and one cluster, chevalier de legion
d’honneur, croix de guerre (five cita
tions. five palms, one gold and one
silver star,) forragere and the Italian
war cross. He was given three cita
tions in general orders.
Before his departure from France
he served with the second division
headquarters.
Since his return to civilian life he
has been prominent in legion work
in this state, having acted as depart
ment commander.
A fight for the removal of the na
tional legion headquarters from In
dianapolis to Kansas City, which the
Missouri delegation promised in pre
convention campaigning to bring on
the .floor, did not develop. The elec
tion of officers concluded an all-day
session marked by debate and wrang
ling over certain sections of the res
olution criticizing severely the speech
of George Harvey, American ambassa
dor to Great Britain, before the Pil
grim’s club in London, upon his ar
rival in England to assume his du
ties as ambassador, and in which Mr.
Harvey discussed the reasons why the
United States entered the war.

OCO To Co-Operative Grain Mar
keting Association
Washington.—More than $22,600,000 j
in credit has been extended to farm
ers and stockmen since congress re
cently authorized the Far Finance cor
poration to make advances for agri- !
cltural and live stock purposes, ac- :
cultural and live stock purposes, ac
cently by that agency.
Reports of the corporation’s activ
ities since August 24, when the ag- i
ricultural and live stock authority ;
became operative, showed a total ;
credit it in excess of $22,663,000, es- '
tablished with about 82 financial in
stitutions located in 19 states for the ,
purpose of making loans to farmers j
and stock raisers.
The states in which corporation ad
vances for these purposes have been
made are: Montana, Minnesota, Mis
souri, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Arizona, Kansas, New York,
Virginia, Indiana, Idaho, Nebraska
and Wyoming. Most of the advances,
according to corporation officials,
have been made in the past month and
a half.
The eighty-two advances made so
far range from a few thousand dol
lars up to one of $15,000,900 to a co
operative association in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota to assist in
the marketing of grain. Where ad
vances are made to a co-operative
association, officials explained, a cred
it is set up which it can draw against
as the need arises, but where the ad
vance is made to a bank or financial
institution, the loan is made at once.
Funds for the advances, officials
said, are obtained from the corpora
tion’s balance with the treasury
which, at the time these operations
were begun, amounted to about $430,-
000,000. There has been some dis
cussion, it was said, of a bond issue
by the corporation to provide funds
for its operations, but it is under
stood that it would he left to Secre
tary Mellon to decide whether the
treasury would prefer to do the fin
ancing itself and meet the needs of
the corporation as desired or let that
agency go into the investment market
itself to provide for its advances.
Applications for agricultural and
live stock loans are coming in stead
ily, it was stated. In addition to its
domestic financing, officials said, the
corporation Is continuing to finance
American products for export to for
eign markets.
