One alleged distillery operator was killed and another suffered a serious wound in the Florida affair, which was staged in a desolate cypress swamp on the Hillsboro river, near Tampa, last Friday, as narrated in an official account that reads like fic tion. William M. Moore, federal pro hibition officer for Florida; Major F. M. Williams, of the supervisor’s of fice. and United States Deputy Mar shall. H. Cox constituted the raiding parts that defeated a crew of six al leged moonshiners in the heart of the quagmire. The officers had approached the site from three directions by wading through mud and water often neck deep. Major 'Williams was sighted by ths alleged offenders before his two colleagues arrived, and immediately became a target for a fusillade of bullets. Although it was broad day light and dense underbrush hamper ed the he escaped with no more than a bullet hole through his hat. He returned the fire and when his companions chimed in the oppo sition fled, leaving two of their num ber behind, one dead and one badly wounded. In Gilmer county, near Ellijay, Deputy Collector M. L. Cox and the driver of his buggy were waylaid just after “cutting down” a deserted still. oßth escaped injury, and dur ing the exchange of volleys that ensued after they had leaped from their vehicle, the officer recognized one of the two anibushers, it is stat ed, and a posse of prohibition officers is now searching for him.

Senator Thomas Arises To Make Feeling Appeal For Nation's Taxpayers (The Atlanta Journal News Bureau) 623 Rigrgs Building. BY THEODORE TILLER WASHINGTON, Mav 4.—Rising to his full six feet in height and strok ing meditatively the gray toupee which always covers his bald head in .winter time, Senator Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado. Announced to the senate that he intended “to ad dress myself briefly to the taxpayers of the United States.” A senate engaged in voting hun dreds of millions\in appropriation bills paused long enough to remem ber that there was a class in the United States known as taxpayers-j just plain ultimate consumers, fel lows who wonder why everything from baby shoes to automobiles and potatoes keep going up in price.; Then Senator Thomas commented — not briefly, as announced, but to the extent of several thousand words. He spoke of chronic absenteeism in the senate, the present orgy of spend ing, the consideration of great ap propriation bills with less than a score of ninety-six senators present, the frequent inability to get a quorum and the imperative need that taxpayers wake up and inquire where all the money the government is spending is coming from and where it is going. Senator Thomad asserts that al most every class except the poor old taxpayer is organized and rep resented in the lobbies of the capitol building. From Egyptians to peace leagues and militaristic leagues, and from plumb planners to prohibition ists, the Colorado senator asserts from due observation, they are all here, and most of them have eyes upon the United States treasury and its vaults. Government’s Financial Predicament Then Senator Thomas, a demo cratic member of the senate finance . committee, presented a rather alarm ing survey of''the present financial predicament of the government. In creased federal pensions, soldier bonus legislation, post-war expenses and extravagances, and the mount ing interest obligations and national debt of the United States were con sidered in turn and the taxpayer was invited to “stop, look and listen.” Unless he does, Senator Thomas says, we are in for a century of taxpay ing, frugality and stooped-shoulders. Pending bills for increases in pen sion, soldier bonus legislation, civil service retirement and the running expenses of the executive depart ments. Senator Thomas shows, make it difficult to estimate now now far behind the country will be in its finances next year. A modest esti mate, he said, is “that we face the approach of the next fiscal year with a deficiency of $2,500,000,000.” Despite efforts of frugal members of congress to cut down here and there, Senator Thomas said, “the spirit of extravagance on the one hand and of indifference to the pub lic fiscal conditions Upon the other was never more apparent in legisla tion than at present.” Claims of cuts in the estimates, Senator Thomas averred, but tem porarily divert attention and meet the situation. These claims are to be offset later by the presentation and passage of “deficiency” appropriation I bills, and the huge totals eventually will pile up just the same. Scores Senators’ Indifference Regarding indifference to fiscal conditions, Senator Thomas said: “The fact is strikingly illustrated by the attendance in the senate since the final vote on the peace treaty on March 19, from which date, with one or two exceptions, two roll calls followed by Instructions to the ser geant-at-arms to request the pres ence of absent senators have been necessary to secure quorums for the transaction of public business. Ab senteeism has synchronized with the consideration of great appropriation bills literally carrying hundreds of millions, to which so little attention is paid that quorum calls are avoided lest they result only in needless de lay. . “The Fuller bill to increase pen sion rates passed the senate by a vote not to exceed twelve for and less than half that number against it. > The bill adds $65,000,000 to the nation’s permanent annual disburse ment. During consideration the at tendance seldom exceeds twelve sen ators. Its importance was apparent ly too trifling to arouse even a lan guid interest. “Yet a few of us believe the bill to have been an indefensible one. It establishes a horizontal pension in crease without reference to the in dividual needs of the beneficiaries, and in disregard of the fact that soldiers homes, supported by public taxation, have’literally thousands of empty beds and more than enough ,%. all 7 e lu r ? ns needin & the hospi- Inn y of their ample and generous accommodations.

Prosperity is incom patible with such a prospect, too gloomy for contemplation, but too ?erious to be wholly disregarded nowever quiescent the taxpayer may Those Deficiency Bills Party leaders give glib reassur ance of colossal economies in appro priations represented by huge figures thrown upon the screen of moving events. The soporific announcement of cuts below departmental esti mates, aggregating one and a half millions, means little or nothing tn Lie final analysis. It may be good campaign material, but' is otherwise without substance. Excess of esti mates above appropriations is a com mon.practice whose principXl harvest is a series of deticieny bills for every session of congress. “These in turn become the vehicle of other and independent appropria tions. The present congress has passed two great deficiency bills, ag gregating $121,171,000. and another is on the calendar with still another on the way. The closing of the polls next November will lie the signal for another and yet another. The aggregate amounts carried bv them added to the sum of the regular al lotments will approach, if they do not exceed, the rejected estimates | when the next congress, moved by I the same impulses, will repeat the old tactics if your lethargy continues through the interval. “Such conditions will encourage I fresh disbursements and it will be strange if pending measures for drainage, irrigation, good roads, na tional education, maternity hospitals and other treasury demands now transiently suspended and involving countless millions, do not press for successful consideration.- Bonus Legislation x “The same gentlemen who cheer I you with glad tidings of vast econo- I mies affected and in contemplation, i are lending ready ears to the de- ; mands of- some of the soldiers and sailors of the war just ended for a | cash bonus, whose totals, under I whatever plan thus far suggested 1 will reach two billions and may • reach the vast sum of three billions I “Since that was written, the house j has determined to consider the In- I surance method of compensation, as I it is called, under which it is pro- i posed to increase the burdens of the people six billions, if adopted; an ! amount some 200 per cent greater > than the most extreme estimates i hitherto appearing upon the sub ject.” Senator Thomas said the soldier i bonus tax, wherever originally laic, I would be paid by t'he consumers j "just as they 'nave paid and are pay- I ing the excess profits tax-and nearlv , every other tax. These become over head expenses to the immediate tax payer and as such are added cosi arid are passed along to the con- I sumer. The department of justice es- I timates that the excess profits tax, 1 and other taxes on business, have increased the price of commodities by 23.2 per cent. This always has and always will be so.” What Taxpayers Must po Reverting to 'the soldier bonus levy of two to three billions, Senator Thomas “addressed the taxpayers” as follows: “But one thing stands between this monstrous proposition and its certain accomplishment. I refer t>o the aroused opposition of the great army of American taxpayers and consumers. If that can be materi alized and disciplined by swift and intelligent organization, it can be converted into a potent factor for good in Washington. Practically every other interest is so organized, with its militant lobbies at the capital “These lobbies, like the bonus, are sugar-coated by more pleasing names. They are generally called committees bn legislation. Labor, agriculture, good roads, prohibition, anti-prohibition, irrigation, drainage, rivers and harbors, Mississippi flood control, leagues and anti-leagues, the Plumb plan and other plans, Syrians, Koreans, Czecho-Slovaks, Jugo-Slavs, Polanders, Irish and Egyptians—all these and more are with us. They want governmental aid, which in the last analysis means financial aid. “The hosts which are organized and are on the ground struggling against each other in the mad rush for your rapidly diminishing treas ury, know you, the taxpayer, only as the source of supply. Since you do not seemingly concern yourselves with the manner in which your rep resentatives spend your money, they •encounter no opposition to their as ■ saults upon your treasure vault, save ; as they come in collision with each . other or attract by their clamor I riyal seekers for public and national bounties.” Senator Myers, of Montana, sug gested he did not want to discourage Senator Thomas, but really there was little chance of organization among the taxpayers. Other special inter ests, he said, cast their votes in one block, but the taxpayers look for the party label and vote according to their politics. “You cannot discourage me,” said Senator Thomas. “My discourage ment reached zero long ago. I try to warm it occasionally, and possibly that is all I shall accomplish by this effort.” • The War Debt Senator Thomas said the war with Germany had entailed a debt of more than twenty-five billions on the Unit ed States, demanding an annual in terest charge exceeding the country’s pre-war expenditures. A century of burdensome taxation, he declared, }s ahead. Without frugality this tax ation will be insufficient "and will abide with us forever.” With a pros pective deficit of $2,500,000,000 at the beginning of the next fiscal year, Senator Thomas said this could be liquidated only by direct taxes or another bond issue, the bonds to bear not less than 5 and 5 1-2 per cent interest. Representative Frank W. Mon dell, majority leader of the house, has just issued a statement "pointing with pride ’ to the reductions in the gov ernment estimates of about a billion and a half dollars. The estimates tor the next fiscal year, and supple mental requests, are around five bil lions, although a detailed statement of final appropriations is not avail able now because of differences be tween the two houses of congress which are to be adjusted in con ference. in^2Y eVer ’ ls sold,er bon us or “ad justed compensation" legislation is enacted it will throw all figures off < fv, neCesslta£e a revision not only of thp /’-PPropriation figures but also oi the taxation laws. Again, no one may accurately fore cast now what the voluntary system and na Y al trainin S, sub stituted for compulsory training, is to cost. The senate has added a training amendment to both the army for «ffi Vy bud f e ts- Increase in pay for officers of the army and navy and civil service retirement legisla likewise to the uncertainty ot the final balance sheet from Uncle Sam’s book. Even on the most optimistic fore cast it is apparent that the country is in a bad way financially and taxes and the high cost of living will keep the average fellow with his nose to the proverbial grindstone for years to come. The Senator’s Toupee Forgetting' momentarily Senator Thomas’) warnings and apparently justified forebodings, let one consid er in conclusion the lighter subject of Senator Thomas’ toupee. Unfortunately, Senator Thomas is quite bald. He doesn’t mind that so much when the weather is warm, but when frost comes on the ground a toupee appears on Senator Thomas’ head. There it stays until winter ends and for years folks about the senate have regarded the Thomas toupee, its presence or absence, as indicative of the change of the season. Soon Senator Thomas will walk into the senate chamber, wave slight ly at the fellows in the press gallary and point to his very bald head. This is the signal for the annual story of the official arrival of spring. Next winter Senator Thomas will appear LADIES!

Benson, formerly chief of naval operations and now chairman of the shipping board, today told the senate committee investigating naval conduct of the war, that even before the outbreak of the war in 1914 he believed the United States would ul timately fight Germany. He said he felt the United States’ participation on the side of the allies was inevit able from the day hostilities began. He informed Secretary Daniels of his Opinion, the admiral said, but he did not believe, in view of the gen eral sentiment of the’ country, that the avy deparlmet wouldn have been justified in preparing for war until congress indicated the nation’s in tentions. Admiral Benson said he felt re sponsible for the navy’s policies and operations during the war, because he was chief military adviser to Sec fretary Ddniels. Asserting that his mind was quite clear regarding the main principles involved, he said he had carefully avoided a prepared statement of his testimony in order that it might be entirely unbiased. The sinking of the Lusitania alonp was not sufficient to justify the Unit ed States in openly preparing for war against Germany, the witness declared. Even after the German ambassador was given his passports in February, 1917, the feeling of the people was such that war with Ger many could not be considered inevit able, Admiral Benson asserted. “I do not wish to say anything that might construed as attach ing any blame on Secretary Dan iels for any alleged unpreparedness of the navy.” said the admiral. “Did you feel that the sentiment of the people you refer to was such as to prevent the navy making plans for war?” asked Chairman Hale. “The navy did have plans,” was the reply. “They were not complete and are not cdmplete in some re spects today. We knew if we did enter the war we would have to con form our operations to the general plans of the other allies and we had no knowledge of their plans until after we declared war.” $1470057565UTby U.

Mr. Burleson said that no loss would have been suffered had the government retained operation of the lines “a few months longer” or had rate increases not been temporarily halted by court injunctions. “The deficit,” wrote Mr. Burleson, "is the outcome of operations in volving fcross revenues of over $600,- 000,0)0 and therefore represents less than two and a half per cent of the total gross revenues.” liftofFcorns WITH FINGERS / Doesn’t hurt a bit and costs only few cents V\ l| Magic!
