The citizens who gathered at the Elks’ auditorium last night to hear a discussion upon the prospects of a community building for Cas- per endorsed the project in a resolution and recommended that; the Casper Chamber of Commerce take such steps as would be neces: sary to bring it here. The resolu- tion was proposed by Emmett Fuller after A. J. Parkin, representative of the Community Service organiza- tion which has headquarters in New York City, had explained his plans to the audience. The ‘resoliition vas ‘seconded by representatives of the Lions elub, Rotary club, Kiwanis club, Business and Professional Women's club, Casper Women’s Departmental club, the Nocturne club, and the Casper Real Estate board. + Congressman Charles E. Winter spoke before the gathering last night. Mr. Winter took advantage of the opportunity to deltver greet- ings to the people of his community. “The home people and home mem- orles do not get away from us, in Washington,” said the congressman. ‘Our thoughts ever turn westward.” He told his audience regarding the workings of congress,“especially of the work of its committees. Mr. Winter. serves on four committees, the irrigation, public lands, mines and mining, and war claims. He ex- pressed once again his absolute faith in Casper and predicted that the Casper-Alcova Irrigation project would become a reality, within 10 years. Loud applause greeted the re- mark, “I have been away. You have been here,” he said. “I think I have seen unnecessary alarm concerning our good city and state. Getting out gives us a better perspective. You have had many speakers who have-told you that you didn’t begin to realize what your resources were. Our great oll field while its produc- tion will be necessarily slow of pro- duction has yet 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 barrels of oll. Sometimes com vunities ike people get the blues. Little things go wrong and big things don’t look right. I have bsolute faith in the growth and prosperity of Casper. A. J. Parkin thanked the people ‘jd organizations of Casper for the nasistance they had rendered him in permitting him to speak before them and explain the enterprise which he ‘s trying to get started here. Mr, Parkin has been in "Casper two weeks and has been making a sur- vey of the city and its needs in the way of lelsure time activities.

The vital sections of the measure, however, were transformed in the senate to conform to the program of the Democratic-Republican insurgent coalition, as com- Pared with compromises effected by organization Republican leaders in the house. All sections on which a difference prevails between the house and sen- ate must be worked out in confer- ence. Provisions which were adopt- ed by both chambers automatically stand. The main sections which must go to conference for final adjustment are the income tax schedule, the corporation tax, publicity of returns and estate taxes. Important provisions on which the house and senate are in practical agreement are: A cut of 25 per cent on earned tn- comes. The house set $20,000 as the maximum to which this cut could be applied, and the senate reduced it to $10,000. Among the excise. taxes ordered repealed by both the,house and sen- ate and the amount of revenue in- volved are: Telegraph and telephone messages. $34,000,000; beverages, $10,000,000; candy, $13,099,000; carpets, rugs, etc., $1,800,000; theaters, circuses, shows (floor tax), $1,600,000; yachts and motorboats (sale), $319,000 drafts and promissory notes, $2.- 160,000. Both the senate and house agreed to the following excise tax reduc- tions: Exempt theater admission of 50 cents and under from 10 per cent tax, loss of revenue $33,000,000; cut in half 5 per cent tax on automobile tires and tires and tubes, loss of revenue $21,000,000; exempted auto: mobile trucks, chassis of which sell fot less than $1,000, loss of revenue $5.000,000; cut in half tax on produce exchange sales, loss of revenue $4,000,000. Some differences in excise rate re us are to be worked out in conference. The house proposed to exempt from the jewelry tax all articles ling for $40 or less. The senate it this down to $25.

The senate voted to increase from 5 to 10 per cent the tax on all coin- operated machines. An increase also was voted by the senate in some of the brokers’ seat taxes. A new tax of 10 per cent on Mah Jongg sets was inserted by the senate. A contest in the conference on the income tax schedule will be prin- cipally a/ fight to put a party label on the provisions. These rates were only slightly, but the demands ob- tained credit for the schedule adopt- ed by the senate while the house plan was adopted by a strictly Re- publican vote. The normal rates in the senate Dill are two per cent on incomes under $4,000; four per cent on in- comes between $4,000 and $8,000, and six per cent above $8,000. The house provides similar taxes except five per cent on incomes between $4,000 and $8,000, On surtaxes, the house voted for a flat 25 per cent cut in existing rates, making the maximum 37% per’cent on incomes over $200,000. The minimum rate would be made 1% per cent. on, incomes of $10,000. The Simmons surtax schedule idopted by the Democratic-Repub- ican insurgent vote in the. senate, would start with one per cent at 510,000 and gradually to 38 per cent at $200,000, with two additional brackets bringing the maximum to 10 per cent on incomes over $500,000.

The compromise ched today is sub. stantially that reported as the first agreement of the conference which was reconsidered in deference to the wishes of President Coolidge. New action by the conference was made necessary when the house yesterday refused to approve March 1, 1925 as the effective date.

The new report will follow the Same parliamentary procedure acs corded the first one. It will be re- ported to the house Monday, and, if accepted there, will go to tho. sem ate.
