REPUBLICANS BEATEN ON LARGE ARMY BILL Washington. — The administration and Republican leaders in the house suffered their first defeat when a coal- ition of Democrats and “small army” Republicans forced through an amend- ment fixing the size of the army at 150,000. Thia action was taken in the com- mittee of the whole by a vote of 109 to 82. An effort will be made to re- ject the amendment and restore the strength of the army to 168,000 when the bill is taken up in the house. Re- publican leaders predicted the coall- tion victory will be short-lived. The amendment by Representative .| Kahn of California, chairman of the military affairs committee, to increase the size of the army to 175,000, was lost, 97 to 74. Secretary of War Weeks had recom- mended an enlisted personne! of 183,- 000, and the appropriations commit- lowed 168,000. NEWBERRY GETS DECISION Supreme Court Rules Congress With- out Power in Primaries. Washington—Conviction of United States Senator Truman H.

C.—Retail prices ap- pear to be the “sticking point” in the country’s readjustment process, the federal reserve board said in its April review.

TAX MADE Repeal of Excess Profits and Luxury Taxes and Change In income Rate Asked. Washington, D. C.—Four proposals for revision of the federal taxes have been made to congress by Secretary Mellon, with a recommendation for early action so that the new taxes can be applied for this year. They are: Repeal of the excess profits tax and the $2000 income exemption of corpor- ations, the loss of revenue to be made good by a modified tax on corporate profits or a flat additional income tax on corporations. Readjustment of income tax rates so that no income will pay more than 40 per cent this year and 33 per cent thereafter, with a view to prodycing aggregate revenues substantially equiv- alent to the estimated receipts from the income tax under the existing law. Repeal of the so-called luxury taxes, together with tie “nuisance” taxes, such as those on soda-fountain drinks, but retention of the transportation and miscellaneous specific sales taxes. Imposition of “sufficient new and additional taxes of wide application,” such as increased stamp taxes or li- cense taxes on the use of automobiles, to bring total revenues from internal taxes after making the changes sug- gested to about $4,000,000,000 in 1922 and 1923. PEACE RESOLUTION PASSED BY SENATE Washington, D. C.—The. first step toward placing the United States on a technical legal basis of peace was taken by the senate in adopting the Knox peace resolution. The vote for adoption was 49 to 28. The resolution now goes to the house, with prospects of prompt action. It would repeal the war resolutions af- fecting Germany and Austria-Hungary, impound alien enemy property, and reserve to the United States all rights and privileges under the treaty of Ver- sailles and other peace treaties. An effort to amend the resolution made by Senator Townsend, republi- can, Michigan, who moved to strike out the clause repealing the war declara- tion and substitute a simple declara- tion of peace, was defeated, 44 to 26. Senator Lodge in inaugurating the debate told the senate that treaties with Germany and other nations with which the United States had been at war would follow the Knox resolution. He also gave notice that the United States would not “abandon” the allies. The vote on the peace resolution was preceded by tense partisan clashes. The republicans lined up almost solid- ly behind the measure and all but five democrats voted or were paired against it. TOWNLEY TURNED DOWN New Trial is Denied President of Non-Partisan League. St. Paul.—The state supreme court denied a new trial to A. C. Townley, president of the national non-partisan league, and Joseph Gilbert, ex-organi- zation manager of the league, convict- ed on a charge of conspiracy to teach sedition. Townley and Gilbert were found guilty July 12, 1919, by a jury in the Jackson county district court, and sentenced by Judge Dean to 90 days in jail. Execution of sentence was delayed by appeal. Haywood Is In Moscow. Chicago.—The first direct word from “Big Bill” Haywood, I, W. W. leader, in Russia, reached Otto Christensen, his attorney, here. A wireless mes-|' sage from Christiania, dated April 25, said that Haywood had arrived in Mos- cow and was attending the conference of trade industrial unions and the third internationale.

The good- tobacco taste lagts so long—a small chew { of this class of tobacco lasts much longer than a big chew of the old kind. That’s why it costs less to use.

We believe that no business establishment, sincerely interested in its patrons’ welfare and ever striving to obtain best possible results for them, can carry two or more lines of the same class of merchandise selling at the same price, without a knowledge of superiority of one over the other, Is one honest to his patrons who sells against his own best knowledge? We have discontinued all other lines of tires, believing that all are yood but the Lee tries are the best on the market today and will stand back [| of each and every one with our personal guarantee SOUTH & FRICK AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLIES » Automobile Electricians Automobile Mechanics
