BARTY ELEGTORS * NEET TOMORRO Elecforial College Will Report Harding and Coolidge Suc- cessful Candidates. FINAL STEP ON FEB. 9 Vice President Marshall Will Open Ballots and Officially An- nounce Winners. Warren G Harding and Calvin Coolidge will not be officially elected President and Vice President, respect- 4 jvely, until February 9 Two im- portant steps remain to be taken to complete their election. The first of these is their election by the electoral college, which takesj place tomorrow. The second step will be taken February 9, at a joint meet- ing of the Senate and House when the certificates of the vote of each state are opened in the presence of Con- gress and duly counted. - At the conclusion of this ceremony Vice President Marshall will officially declare Mr. Harding and Mr. Coolidge to have been elected. Electors Mcet Monday. The people. as is well known. did « not vote directly for Hr.'Harding or & nd their running mates ion, but for e ful electors of each state #>mprise the electoral college. They are equal in number to the senators and repre- sentatives from each state in Con- gress, provided by the Constitutio They are required by law to meet in their respective state capitals on the second Monday in January after the presidential election to . cast their ;&n for President and Vice President in accordance th the wishes of the voters who elected them. The electoral college, therefore, will be in session in the forty-six state capitals tomorrow. The electors or- ganize by electing one of their num- try from income taxes.and equaliza- tion of the tax burden upon business through a detailed plan which would provide $4,000,000,000 required for the WILD SCRAMBLE BYCONGRESSMEN AS SANTA CALLS “Santa Claus” paid a belated visit to the ways and means committee Yesterday, and the staid members of the House, entrusted w.th the task of raising enough revenue to pay Uncle Sam’s bills, forgot their care and went scrambling for toys. Joy beamed from the faces of the committeemen as they left the hearing, carrying dolls, animals, baby rattles and other tovs. J._ 0. Foote, a toy manufacturer of Stroudsburg, Pa., played Santa Claus. He came to appeal for tariff protection on toys, particularly cellulo:d toys. Every time Amer- ican ingenuity turned out a new and appealing toy, he said, Japanese imitators duplicated it and shipped over tons for sale at a lower wholesale rate than Amer- ican factories could make. To support hs argument, Mr. Foote came armed with 2 huge box of toys. a regular carload lot, even for a Santa Claus sled. He ex- hibited them to the committeemen, seated solemnly behind the great' horseshoe desk on its high plat- form which lends pomp and cir- cumstance to wadys and means committee deliberations. H.s argument finished, Foote said he had no further use for his exhibits and the scramble began. The solons shucked off years as they used to shuck their clothes at the old swinmin' hole. They were Loys again in a ‘second and when the rush stopped the toy box was swept clean.

A plea for consideration for theul- timate consumer was made yesterday by Senator Thomas (democrat, Colorado) before the Senate finance committee, which is holding hearings on the House emergency tariff bill designed to protect the farmers. “It strikes me,” said Senator Thomas, “that some consideratidn ought to be given the consumer. Everybody comes here appealing for help, everybody is in a bad fix. But the result is always thé same—stick the_consumer.” K. D. Loos, appearing on behalf of California lemon growers, had asked for 2 cents a pound tariff on lemons. Senator Thomas inquired whether, if the tariff were granted, the growers would not develop a monopoly as a result of barring out Italian lemons. The witness insisted no such effect could be expected, explaining that more lemons were now stored here than at any time in ten vears. “That may Be true,” said the, sena- tor, “but that is a fine example of {what is being asked of Congress— everybody who has something to sell & to exploit those who have granted—and this applics not only to the lemon industry, but to all indus/ tries—the pecuniary relief comes out of the consumer.” “Why. the only things the consumer can buy cheaply now,” he added, “are corkscrews and postage stamps, and he has no-need for corkscrews. The question of amendments got into the discussion. Asked by Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico, if he thought the bili could be passed if amended, Acting Chairman McCumber said Senator Penrose, chairman of the committee, had said certain modifica- tions of the bill were necessary, and that he supposed these modifications would have to be considered.

A comprehensive program for re- vision of the federal tax laws, esti- mated to yield annually the $4,00¢ 000,000 which Secretary Houston has sald the Treasury requires, was filed yesterday with tne house ways and means committee by the tax committee of the National Retail Dry Goods Asso- ciation. The plan worked out by the trade organization contains several pro- posals not heretofore advanced, in- cluding the assessmvent of a federal poll tax of $5 on each person over twenty-one years oid who receives an independent income. Income tax exemptions, it is proposed, would be placed at $1,000 to $2.500 for unmar- riec persons, and $2,000 to $5,000 for heads of families. All business would be allowed an exemption of $5,000. Other Features. Other features carried in the pro- gram, which was approved through a referendum of the organization’s 2,000 members, provide that: Income from salaries, wages, bo- nuses and commissions should not be taxed at so high a rate as income from business and investment: Income derived from business, whether individual, partnership o corporate, should be taxed on the business itself, and be subject to no income from business and in a still higher degree than income from mu- tual or mental efforts. There should be a tax on gross sales of all goods sufieient, when added to Jall other taxes proposed in the pro- gram and including customs receipts, to aggregate ' the required $4, 000,000,000. The program would eliminate from the present revenue act the excess profits tax, surtaxes on individuals, taxes on transportation, insurance, admissions, dues and on non-alcoholic beverages and special and capital stock taxes, stamp taxes and certain | National Association Offers|Measure to Restrict' Trans- EXCHANGE HEARING4 T0 OPEN IN HOUSE action to Be Drafted After Testimony. = Starting tomorrow hearings are to be held by the House agricultural committee on proposed legislation to restrict future transactions on ex- changes in agricultural products by elimination of speculation.
