ROBBINS BROT HERS PROPS. ‘Light and Heavy Hauling Done on Short Notice CORNELIUS HULL Cornetius Hull, former congressman from Tennessee, who was elected chairman of the Democratic national committee, BOUCK EXPELLED BY NATIONAL GRANGE Portland, Ore.—William Bouck, mas- ter of the Washington seceding grange, with four other leading members of that body, were expelled from the | order by unanimous vote of the ac- credited delegates of the national grange, in session here. C. R, Cottrell of Kent, Wash., sec- retary of the secessionists; M. A. Hamilton of Bellingham, Wash.; J. E. Wraje of Arlington, Wash., and R. A. Briggs, Okanogan, Wash., members of the executive committee, were the other men expélled. The friction in the Washington body had its inception prior even to the national gathering in Boston last year when Bouck, at that time recognize] state master, appeared before the pub- lic altar and pledged his allegiance to the grange cause. Following the trial, where he was found guilty but es- caped with a reprimand, he returned to his own state, where it is alleged he continued disloyal activities. When National Master Lowell sus- pended Bouck from office early in July of this year, the rebelling group re-organized with the former state | master as their leader. Three months later, the court injunction issued in King county temporarily suspended | the insurgent activities, By unanimous vote the delegates decided to meet in Kansas next year. | NORTHCLIFFE SEES MENACE America and Er. aiand Must Hang Together. Pekin.—Lord Northcliffe, British publisher, now touring the far east, in an address here declared: “If the United States is ever men- ace in the far east, if at any time her magnificent work in the Philip- pines is disturbed, is there any rea son why Singapere should not be available for her fleets? Great Brit- ain and America must hang together in the far east or some time or other they may be hanged separately.” Lord Northcliffe declared that never had Anglo-American friendship been more necessary, He said America | Canada, and thousends of Australians were much concerned over the pra- longation of the Anglo-Japanese alli- ance, which had benefited Japan be- yond her wildest dreams.

C.—The tax revision | bill conference report was presented to the house Monday. Only five of the 10 conferees have signed the report. The democrats re-| fused to sign, and Senator Smoot of | Utah, republican, proponent of the! sales tax, withheld his signature. He | said it was his intention to study the! bill to see whether it is any improve- | ment over the existing law. | In closing their work the conferees | fixed the corporation income tax rate at 12% per cent, the figure in the! original house bill. This increases the present rate by 2% per cent. The house, disregarding the ex-, pressed wish of President Harding, | voted 201 to 173, to accept the senate | amendment to the tax revision bill | fixing the maximum income surtax | rate at 60 per cent on incomes of $200,000 or more. | Ninety-four republicans, most of) them from the middle and far west, | joined with the practically solid dem- ocrattc minority in supporting the amendment. The President in a let-| ter which was read in the house said he still believed the original house rate of 32 per cent was “nearer to al just levy and the more promising one| in returns to the public treasury,” but that in view of the legislative situa-| tion he thought it “wholly desirable” that there be a compromise at 40 per) cent. | The rollcall for the amendment in- cluded 94 republiccns, including Sin- nott, Oregon, and Summers, Washing- ton. The democrats against totaled 106 and included Lee, California. Lon- don, socialist, New York, voted for) the amendment. Against the amendment were 170 republicans, including French, Idaho; Hadley, Washington; Hawley and Mc- Arthur, Oregon; Miller, Washington; Riddick, Montana; Johnson, Washing- ton; Smith, Idaho, and Webster, Washington. SENATE PASSES ANTI-BEER BILL Washington, D. C.—The brief days) of “medical” beer were considered | numbered when the senate, by a vote of 56 to 22, finally adopted the con- ference report on the anti-beer bill. | With legislative action concluded, | the bill, fought over for months, goes to the president, who is expected to give it his approval within the ten- | day period in which he can act. The bill will set aside the ruling by | ex-Attorney-General Palmer, who, two| days before he retired, advised the prohibition enforcement officials that there was nothing in the Volstead act to prohibit the prescription of beer and light wines for medicinal pur-| poses, The bill limits physicians to| 100 prescriptions for liquor each three months, and specifies that not more} than a quart of spirituous or vinous| liquors, containing in the aggregate | not more than one-half pint of alcohol, | may be prescribed for one person in| ten days. | Importation of liquors is barred by! the bill until the supply op hand in} the United States shall no longer be} sufficient to meet the current need for non-beverage uses, PORTLAND INDORSES FAIR Final Decision on Exposition Now! Rests With State at Large. Portland, Ore.—Portland went on| record for Oregon's 1925 expesition| by an affirmative majority of more) than 4 to 1 at the special city election | Satrday. | The question determined was the} levying of a $2,000,000 tax for the sup-| port of the exposition in the ensuing) three years. This levy is conditioned | upon the approval by the voters of | the state at large of a $3,000,000 tax) also, to be spread over three years, and the raising of $1,000,000 for the) exposition fund by private subscrip-| tion. Before a statewide vote can be had on the $3,000,000 state tax a special session of the legislature must be con-! vened by proclamation of the gover. | nor, at which session the necessary! steps will be taken for the submission of the question to the voters at a spe- etal election to be held concurrently | with the general primary election on} May 17, 1922. It is probable that the| special session will be called for Jan-| uary. Maternity Bill Passed by House. Washington.—The house passed the Sheppard-Towner maternity bill, un- der which $6,000,000 will be spent in maternity aid in the various states. =r... ae.
