The announcement| continues: “The | scientific discovery is that of an ex- tremely sensitive and reliable ‘photo- electric’ cell, made about two years ago in the physical laboratories of the University by Professor Jakob Kunz. The incident is a good ex- ample of the unexpectedness by which some great discovery may be made years in advance before it can be practically used. “The photo-electric cell is a device for turning flashes of light into elec- tric pulses and is so sensitive that it | reacts to light from stats which can- hot be seen with the naked eye. Be- cause of this extreme sensitiveness the photo-electric cell promises to displace the selenium cell which has | been used up to the present time in| experiments carried on to produce speech to accompanying moving pic- tures. “A Swedish scientist has developed jrates to 20 or 25 per cent and.adjust- ‘a device which he calls the ‘photo- ment of the rates on business profits phone’ ‘by;,which such speech is more or lesg perfectly produced.

Mellon of the Tax Laws —Also, Reports on Revenue Revision Washington, Dec. 7.—Further re lvision of the tax laws, with a reduc- |tion of the maximum income surtax ‘and estates is suggested by Secretary Mellon in his first annual report, transmitted today to congress. The Treasury Secretary also an- nounces that the. Treasury's policy with respect to deferment of the sol- diers’ borius is unchanged, and urges prompt funding of the ten billions of dollars of foreign loans as “one of\the outstanding needs of the present eco- nomic situation.” Utmost Economy Mr. Mellon’ also informs. congress that the maturity within ‘the next 18 months of $6,750,000,000 of the short jdated debt “makgs it imperative that j utmost economy and avoid new under- ‘takings that would throw additional ;burdens on the treasury and embar- rass the funding operations” with re- spect to the floating debt. - Revenue revision is the subject up- on. which the Secretary. lays the most stress. He says the changes in the tax law voted by. Congress ‘last month, '“gave substantial relief to. business RICE STORE |nueg wouid be raised without the evil in peace times ultimately should not rise above ten ‘per cent, tax payers would: still be required to contribute in proportion to théir abfiity to pay; | while by placing a certain amount of jtax on specific articles, or classes of |-a; articles, or. transactions, a so low rate that they could readily ‘be borne without injury, the income tax could be materially simplified, the tax laws could be more readily administered and at the same time the needed reve- effects now resulting from the present excessive rates of taxation.” ‘Mr. Mellon informs congress that the amount of revenue involved in the suggested reduction of ‘rates, “is not nearly as great as-is generally suppdsed.” Eticct of Reductions “To. reduce the surtax rates: to a maximum of 25 per cent and graduat- ing the reductions through all. the brackets” he says “‘would mean an ap- Parent loss of about $130,000,000 in revenue. A 20 per cent maximum rate on the, same-basis would involve-a revenue loss of about $200,000,000, Other adjustments which should ,be made would probably involve. an amount equal to that made in the sur- tax rates. The loss of revenue, how- ever,/ would not. be ‘permanent, for the reduced rates would ultimately be productive. of more revenue than higher rates, due to the increase in taxable transactions.” Reiterating arguments that the ef- fect of high surtax rates is to keep new capital out of. productive enter- prise, and to ‘prevent normal business transactions. with the. result that na- tural industrial development is. re- tarded, Mr. Mellon adds: “The idea) seems ‘to. be prevalent that in taxing large incomes, only the person receiving the income, and who is.to pay the tax is really concerned. This is'a mistake. For whatever the government: takes, in the way of tax, out of any income, which would oth- erwise .be’ saved and invested, and thereby become a part of the capital and of the) wealth of the ‘nation, .af- fects ‘not.-so much the. individual from; ivhom ‘it is. taken as it does the whole; people ‘of the country, in the direct: loss. of -productive capital. : “Afterall, the wealth of the’ coun- try, upon: which all the activities‘and the prosperity ‘of. the: individual citt- zens—of all the people—and anything that unhecessarily takes away from the accitmulated property necessarily injuriously affects the people as ia whole.’" Discussing the proposed adjustment of the tax ‘on business profits, Mr. Mellon suggests no specific rates, but calls attention that the repeal of the excess profits tax made necessary an increase-of 2 1-2 per cent in the cor- poration income tax and that this with the capital stock tax makes the ai evaeear and Pacitic Coasts, North ota will take part in one interna- tional contest when it meets the icked debaters of Manitoba Univers- :. This is one of the few meetings aifanged in debate between the team of}a Western University and one of the ‘Canadian colleges. The contest will take place the first week, in March. Definite date also has been set for the ‘meeting of the North Dakota de- baters with &he representatives of Occidental College, holders of the de- bating title of the Coast debating league. The representatives of the Pacific will come to North Dakota for this clash. Other debates, final de- tails of which have not been arranged are in prospect with Bates College of Maine, and Pennsylvania State Col- ‘lege at Grand: Forks and with South Dakota, at Vermillion. Negotiations tions are also under way for a pos- sible meeting with a team from the University of Nebraska. Seven men instead of six were se- lectéd for this year’s debating team. Four of the men selected were mem- bers jot the last year’s teams giving each of his teams. The veterans are Hanaon, Hiaason, Johnson and Muus. The iseven men selected for this year’s team, in alphabetical order, are: Sam J. Aandahl, of Litchville, North Dakota. He is a freshman in, the college of Liberal Arts.

Popular music will be sup- plemented by, the classical master- Pieces and a superband and orchestra will be created from army musicians. General Pershing already has or- dered the establishment here of the Army Music School and Walter Dath- rosch, conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra, has pledged him assistance in work of organization, Both are determined through the Sghool to elevate music in the army. The object of the school, as outlined in the orders issued by General Per- ‘shing, “is to give courses of instruc- tion in music, both paactical and theo- ‘Tetical, elementary and advanced, to Student-bandsmen, to advanced in- strumentalists. (soloists), and to stu- | @ent-band leaders, to standardize and perfect band music, and to supply :trained personnel there-in to meet,.as fully as possibly, the needs of the gervice.” + The first move to better army mu-- \‘sic was made by General Pershing soon after he took over the. office of. Chief of Staff. One of his first actions was to transfer the school from Fort Jay, New York, to Washington and direct that it be reorganized as a “su- per-band,” comparable only to the splendid band which was organized in France.” SSS LI LIER LEER SPELL LID, ROHRER’S TAXI Phone 57 City 25c.

For instance a stockholder subject ‘to surtax at 10 Per cent really pays about 25 per cent on h's dividends; while a stock- holder subject to a 50 per cent sur- tak would ‘be taxed about 65 per cent on such profits.” Declaring ‘that there~ were two “chief objections” to the present high estate tax rates, running up to 25 per cent on the total value of estates, Mr. Mellon says much of what he has said, respecting the high surtaxes ap- Blies equally to the estate taxes, An- other objection he sets forth, is that in many, instances, a forced liquidation of estates. to obtain the necessary money to pay the taxes, result in loss to.the estates as well as “to every- one else who is interested in’ these ‘properties, especially if at the ‘same time’ they: desire to or must sell.” Referring to the oft repeated state- ment that the tax laws need simplifi- cation, Mr. Mellon declares “that. the greatest simplification that can be made is in the reduction of the rates.” “So long as the rates were low,” he asserts, ‘There was not much diffi- culty in the administration of the law; even though the system was en- tirely new and the organization ad- ministering it, unfamiliar with the operation of such a law. The com- plexity of the law so far as it con- cerng the income tax, itself, has arisen largely out of the high rates which make every point that arises involve substantial amounts of money, and which means that each possible question is contested by the tax pay- ers and by the government and re- jsulting delay in the collection of the revenue, irritation and annoyance and jexpense on the part of the taxpayer and costly litigation. With moderate irates, very much of this difficulty would disappear. 4 Every customer has a chance to secure a beautiful $15 doll ‘free.
