Retirement of Secretary Mellon as “the fiscal head of the government” was demanded in the Senate today by Senator LaFollette, republican, Wis- consin, because of the attitude which the Wisconsin Senator said the Treas- ury head held toward “the taxation of wealth.” Mr. LaFollette asserted that Mr. Mellon had “openly and brazenly” declared that wealth could 10t be made to bear its share of the burden of government. The Wisconsin senator said that the Treasury head had laid down his i “a proposition” and the ry's_statement concerning the sal of “wealth” to bear its sbare of the taxes made it appear that the Fovernment revenue must be raised from the small taxpaycrs\if the atti- tude of Mr. Mellon was to prevail. “Accepted the Challenge.” Senator. LaFollette saul he “accept- the challenge” of Secretary Mel- Jon's statements that wealthy taxpay- ers had found an wouli find “dozens of ways" to evade their taxes. Lesscning of taxes on wealth, Sena- tor LaFollette declared vigorously is to he one of the issues of the next congressional campaign, whica, he said, the bill supporters would have 1o meet The Wisconsin senator clashed with & Senator Penrose, republican, Pennsyl- ia, when the latter defended Sec- ectary Mellon's statements as to eva- sion of taxes. Semator Penrose said all prominent economists agreed with Mr. Mellon' when undictated by hysteria or swayed by demagoguery.” Suggests He “Keep Seat.” “It is not necessary for the chair- man of the committée (Mr. Penrose) 10 spew his comments about dema- goguery,” Senator La Follette retort- ed, sharply, suggesting that Mr. Pen- rose “keep his seat.” The declaration regarding Mr. Mel- lon was made by the Wisconsin sen- ator during the discussion of amendment to the tax bill providing that all tax returps be made matters of record for public inspection. He asserted that if what Mr. Mellon had said were true” the amendment he proposed would make “all of the big ones come through, for they wouldn't dare take a chance of having their neighbor come ian and show up their tax evasion.” “The security of property,” he con- inued, “rests om each parcel bearing ts just share of the tax burden, the upkeep of the government. The time has come, it seems to me, when all should know how, or be privileged to know how, each taxpayer assesses himself. Amendments Taken Up. Reconvening at 10 o'clock today, after a' rest of only nine hours, the Senate took up amendments of Sena- tor Lafolette, republican, Wisconsin,! aimed at wealthy taxpayers. The first of Senator Lafollette's smendments, requiring taxpayers to | list their tax free securities with their income tax returns, was adopted 38 1o 11 Senator Lafollette said it was | designed to tabulate those who paid| and those who shirked taxes. Unanimous Consent Agreed On. A unanimous consent agreement limiting debate on the tax revision bill beginning today was reached at 1 o'clock this morning by the Sen- atie after a continuous session of thir- teen hours. An earlier effort to fix a definite time for a final vote on the bill failed. Under the agreement, amendments enator La Follette, republican, of not bonus amendments wiil follow and must be disposed of by midnight. than 2 p.m. The soldier Recessing then, the Senate would meet at 10 a.m. Monday, and after that hour no senator would be per- mitted to speak for more than ten minutes on any amendment or on the bill ltself. Republican leaders were hopeful (h'ug:“the bill might be passed Monday night. Auto Tax Repeal Fails. An unsuccessful effort was made last night by Senator Townsend, re- publican, Michigan, to have the 3 per cent tax on automobile trucks and wagons repealed. The Senate voted, ::: to 27, a the committee ameggdment pri to_continue this my SEoTgnRe Without a record vote the Senate adopted an amendment by Senater Jones, democrat, New Mexico, requir- ing corporations in making out their income tax returns to show the divi- dends declared during the year for Which the return is made. As the night session wore on little progress was made on the bill, the Senate chamber at times being almost deserted, failed to get results the sergeant-at- arms going out to round up ab- sentees. Income Tax Amendment Fails. Without discussion the Senate re- jected the amendment of Senator Harris, democrat, proposing to tax political campaign contributions of more than $100. Tt also rejected an amendment by Senator Trammell, democrat, Florida, which would have provided that individuals borrowing money to purchase liberty bonds could deduct the interest on such loans from their net income, only in case they bought the bonds at par. Just before midnight, the Senate rejected, 30 to 50, an amendment of- fered by Senator Trammell proposing 10 increase the normal exemptions of both single men and heads- of small families with small incomes when 75 per-cent of such incomes resulted from their personal effort. —— - ESCAPING.

The American delegates to the arms limitation conference met again at 10 o'clock this morning in Secretary with the prospect before them of a long dayls work. The conference of delegates from nine nations invited. by President Harding to discuss limita- {tion of armament and Pacific and far | eastern questions will meet one week from today at 1030 in the morning, in the auditorium of the hall erected by j the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. | The American delegates, in addition will be taken up at 10 | to the broad problems of policies and | . and is to be disposed ofia proposal for a basis for limitation | armament to be discussed, of naval Ihave also to consider the larger ques- and the proper reception of and atten- tion to the delegates. These details iare arranged by departmental officials and brought before the delegates for approval. Secretary Hughes has called for next Wednesday a meeting of the advisory {board of twenty-one appointed this i week by President Harding. It is said {in official quarters that this board is not to be considered a perfunctory body by any means, but that it will have real and important duties, perti- nent to the various aspects of the con- ference, to perform. Secretary Hughes and the members of the American delegation are under- stood to hold the view that one notable service, in addition to ‘others expected, may be rendered by the ad- visory board in reflecting public opinion on the problems which will come before the conference. Public Opinion Sought. ‘The personnel of the board, chosen from varled walks in life, should in- sure, it is thought, the American delegates obtaining reaction of pub- these men and women who will come fresh from the people and intent upon the aspects of the questions in which they are presumed to be particularly interested. President. Harding has assigned special commissions for the members of the advisory board, authorizing them to “advise and assist” in shap- ing the American policy. They will not have the power to negotiate, not possessing the rank of ambassadors which was given to the delegates and, therefore, they will Inot possess the same diplomatic standing with the foreign delegates as the American “big four,” but will enjoy their own particular authoriza- tion and rank with their own dele- | gation. 'As the conference progresses and the work is divided among subcom- mittees and into subdivisions it is expected that the duties of the ad. Tvisory board will be found to ex pand and increase in importance. Parley Date to Be Kept. ‘While a regrettabla shadow has been cast over the path of the ap- | proaching arms limitation and far eastern conference by the assassina- tion of the Japanese premier, it was not thought in official circles today ithat the deplorable tragedy will ne- {cessitate the postponement of the | assembling of the conference.

TOKIO, November 5.—The Japanese cabinet resigned office after a meet- ing of the members held this morn- ing. The resignation - of the cabiner, which came as a direct result of the assassination of Premler Hara yes- terday, will not cause any immediate change In the government, as the ministry, in obedience to imperial in- | junction, will continue in office until i further notice from the throne.

Scant information was available at fire regarding the identity of the youth at whose hands Premier Hara fell, but it became known today that the assassin was a son of a former member of the Samurai. or soldier class, constituting the lower nobility under. the Japanese feaudal system. who Had beedn a man of fnportance during the restoration period. The son, It appears, was of an erratic na- ture and s regarded as a4 political fanatic. H: was arrested immedi- tely after the stabbing. Tsupaii who was escorting Pre- mier Hara, was badly cut on the arm and hands in disarming the assassin. It seems yenerally assumed that th designation of Viscount Uchida as premier wur only a temporary expedi- ent in the emergency. In any event, there seems littie doubt that the min- Istry will be reconstructed within a few days. Considerible speculation as to the probable new premier is voiced in to- day’s Tokio newspapers.

So a zeneral i combination of all val powers | poutid together to preserve the peace jwould be tie cheapest propositior {that could be made—an assoc ation | of nations.

President Ha-ding hoas another formula, less rigid than Mr. | Wilson's, but having for its objcci | international co-operation as express- ed ‘n the republican nacicnal plat- form of 1920—namely, agreement among nations to reduce armament ©nd preserve peace. 1f America decides that each nation ought to be permitted to fulfill its as- | pirations along ‘national lines, then the demand of the American Navy will be for a position the equal of any other, or nearly so. If America decides to pool her strength with the others, our I'naval experts will be compelled to ropose radical reductions on every ide. Of course, nothing would be done till all nations would agree. The good faith of each power would be pledged to the observance of the new treaty or gonvention. A violation of the treaty would be a matter for com- mon concern and consultation. Mr. Wilson's league was interpreted as involving physical force ut once to punish such a violation. Mr. Hard- ing's idea is to let morai force and offending nation into & corner and compel obedience. Subsequently, it ‘might become necessary for the pow- ers to take steps to squelch a milita- ristically inclined nation.

Looking ahead to 1930, the report finds that with the increased demand for power that can then be reason- ably expected the total coal saved an- nu the unined system will be 50,000,000 tons. . Under motor oper- ation the industries could save $130.- 000,000 z2nnually in their power bill and could make a greater output of product. z Vast Area Included The territory covered by the guper- power survey extends from the coast approximateiy -150 miles inland. It embraces parts of the states of Maine, New Hamps New York, Pennsyl- ania, Delaware and Maryland, and | of the states of Massachusets, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Jersey. Within this gone is concen- trated one-fourth of the population of the United States, and within it are | uperated, most of them independently, 1315 electric utilities, 18 railroads and | 26,000 industrial plants. { The nation’s business demands !greater and cheaper production and better and cheaper transportation, the {vevort points out, and the electrifica- tion of industries and railroads is the janswer to that demand. To connect all the large generating plants, both |steam and water power, in one great system means more and cheaper elec- tric current, because each ton of coal { will be used to the best advantage ard our idle rivers will be made to turn wheels. especially in the regions farthest removed from the coal fielde. Cheaper Electrieity. The ordinary citizen ought to profit It appeared probable today the safety committee, which commissioners are expected to name. and the parking committee would begin their work about the same time, and their recommendations will cover generally the probleme of street usage. ~The commissioners jhave indicated they will be guided largely by these recommendations in making changes in the existing regu- lations. . Commissioner Oyster is ready to vote for drastic amendments to the regulations in order to reduce the likelihood of accidents. He is ready to increase the penalties for speed- ing and revoke entirely the licenses of drivers found guilty of operating machines while under the influence of liquor. He would impose the severest punishment upon those con- victed of wanton carelessness in driving automobiles. Would Regulate “Jaywalking.” There is a probability of the hear- ing broadening to the point where effort will be made to regulate the pedestrian _through anti-*jaywalking" regulations. The American Automo- bile Association already has served notice that it will press for such reg- ulation of pedestrians. Messehger boys who dart through !{the streets on bicycles much after the fashion of swallows, usually careening in the nick of time to avoid a collision with a pedestrian or a vehicle, will not be forgotten. These youthful chance-takers are a menace to public safety, in the opinion of Commissioner Oyster, who has decid- ed to gear them down. The modus cperandi, however, has not been de- cided upon. —_— OPPOSITION TO TREATY WITH U. S. IN COLOMBIA that Chamber of Deputies Hears objec; tions to Pact Carrying $25,- 000.000 to Settle Controversy. By the Associated Press. BOGOTA, Colombia, November 5.— Opposition to approval of the treaty between. Colombia and the United States has arisen in the chamber of deputies. The senate has already approved the pact, by which $25,000,- 000 would be paid this country by the United States in settlement of the controversy resulting from the es- tablishment of the Panama republic. It 1s pointed out by opponents of the treaty that, as it stands, it does not guarantee any compromise obtained by Colombia. Senor Urueta, Colombia minister in Washington, is expected to arrive here next week, and is be- lieved -to be bringing a message of amity from President Harding. The controversy between the ad- ministration of President Suarez and the chamber of deputies, which re- sulted recently in a change in the cabinet, continues. Conservatives op- pose the preside: candidacy of Gen. Pedro Ospina, and have an- nounced they will support Senor Concha, recently appointed minister of foreign affairs. The election will be held next year, = e, the | = directly by the super-power system. the report says, becaude it promises u | reduction of one cent a kilowatt hour |in the first cost of the current as put jon the transmission lines. Cheaper { eleetricity and more of it will bring cmfort to the home as well as effi- ciency to the workshop, even thougi: the reader may search the engineer- ing report in vain for any basis what ever for the pleusent vision of elec- iric heated homes throughout ou: land. Super-power does not stand for the impos.ble, but only for the wider application of practical engineering and sound economies. The estimated power available from proposed hvdroelectrical development of the Potomac river for the year 192 480,000,000 kilowatt hours. The esti- mated power available from proposer hydroelectrical development of -the Potomac river for the vear 1930 Is: total power, average year, 950,000, kilowatt hours; minimum year, 725,- 000,000 kilowat{ hours. Posstibilities of Potomac. Regarding the Potomac river the re- port says that it rises in the moun- tains of West Virginia and flows inte Chesapeake Bay. It is not regulated to any appreciable extent, and th flow at Great Falls ranges from 653 to 245,000 second-feet and averages 11,900 second-feet. The drainage area is '11.500 square miles. and the annual rainfall i$ between 35 and 40 Inches. The fall from Point of Rocks, Md., te tidewater near the boundary line of tht Distact of Columbia is 204 feet. of which 151 feet is below the aque- duct dam at Great Falls, 10.5. miles above the District line. There are sites avallable for storage reservoirs on Great Cacapon river, & tributary stream, where the capaeity .{is 4.8 billion cubic feet; and on the South Branch of the Potomac neaf its junction with the main river, where the capacity is 20.2 billion cubic feet. Furthermore, the dam at Great Falls will provide a combined storage reser- voir and foreby with a capacity of {13.1 billion cubic feet, making & total Elorlge capacity of 65 billion "cubir eet. f - Would Comstruet Two Dams.” The most favorable locations " for power development are at Great Falls and Chain bridge, where, by the cin- struction of two dams, a head of 2L feet may be utilized. A ‘table is ap- - pended showing that the ‘possjble ultimate development of reservoir capacity on the Potomac will be 64.97 billion cubic feet, with an oper: head of 205 feet.. The installed gen- erator capacity by 1925 is put &t 125,000 kilowatts, which it is 0~ posed- will be increased to 200,000°4n 1930 and ultimately to_ 600,000. The investment cost by 1825 iis placed st $15,000,000, and by 1930, $22,000,000, and_ ultimately $60.000,000. The an- nual production cost by 1925 is put at $2,165,000 and by 1930 at $3,190,600 and ultimately . $8,790,000. Thlgselv eral expense by 1925 is estimated‘at $75,000 and by 1930 at $110,600 “and ultimately $310,000. So that the total cost by 1925 would be $2,240,600 and by 1930 $3,300,000 &nd eventual~ ly $9,100,000. - — George Otis Smith Direetor.*' ‘The survey wag made under an ap- propriation. from -Congress: the _Otis of the . and . under B i L S P S B a a the hearty co-operati ‘Epm on Page %, Column ). -
