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.

A survey of the atock9 of coal on hand throughout the country has been begun by the com merce department. Secretary .Hoover announces. Similar surveys, he says, will be made every sixty days, as is believed in view of the approadiing bi ennial discussion of wages by miners ami operators, it is "vital" that the country should know the amount of coal it had above ground.

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 | should he treated accordingly by the district officers and local unions with in your jurisdiction ” Elected Head Os Lanier University Asheville.

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."

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.
