AUGSBURG, Bavaria, January 12—St. Ulrieh’s Church clock marks time no longer, and its his- toric chimes no more sound the hours for this old city. Mesner, the sacristan, has struck. He was paid only 3,900,000 paper marks from April to September for his services. As he hud to climb 163 steps daily to keep the clock wound up, he said his wages fell far short of buying the shoe soles he wore out on” the rough old stone steps to the belfry. So he quit after fifty years of service to search for more profitable employment. — GROUPS SEEK WAYS TO AID ILLITERATES Discussion at Conference Here on How Untutored Can Help Themselves GENERAL SESSION HELD National Legion Commander to Preside Tomorrow. roup discussion of the various problems connected with teaching of the five million illiterates In the United States were held by delegates to the national illiteracy conference, meeting at the Interior Department today, while a general session of the conference was held in the depart- ment auditorium, with Mrs. Cora Wil- son Stewart of Kentucky presiding.

Senator Couzens contended that “such men as the late William Rockefeller, who are quite familiar, as you point out, with the possibil- ities of the best industrial stocks, yet who invest largely in tax-exempt securities, do so very often, not from any desire or concern to escape taxes, but ruther from a desire to escape business responsibilities and risks and to insure the further in- come of their families.” §, "This is my own experience” h { Added, “as I have largely invested {my capital in state, county and mu- nicipal bonds, on which I reaily pre- t paid the taxes by tuking a greatly reduced return from what 1 would have secured had I taken mvest- ments in new industries with the possibility of securing returns such as are made by original investors in motor stocks, bank stocks and other more or less hazardous undertak- e Hits ‘Propaganda’ on Tax.

It proposes to reduce the amount of taxes the working man is required to pay, actually, and not depending on vague possibilities. In cases where the amount exempted from taxation under the present law is one thousand dollars we prbpose to make it two thousand dollars and further reduce the tax on the amount remaining after that deduction is made. Under the Mellon plan the taxes paid by the millionaire will be reduced to such an extent that no appreciable reductions can be made in the taxes paid by the man of modest income. For example. under the Mellon plan, Secretary Mellon himself will save about two million dollars in federal taxes. In order that this withdrawal from the revenue will not be notice- abie, the taxes pald by men of modest means cannot be reduced appreciably. Until Representative Garner issue the proposal of the democratic m- bers of the committee on wavs and means utmost care had been exercised to conceal from the public the sav- ings which would be shown to per- sons receiving incomes in excess of $50,000 annually.

For example, huridreds of manufac- turers of woolens write in, heartily indorsing the Mellon plan, but not one letter gives an estimate of the reductions in the prices of woolens it will be possible to make or how much cheaper will be the price of a suit of clothing. Manufacturers of every possible commodity acclaim the Mel- lon plan as & boon for the American people, yet do not show how the bene- fits will be passed on to the people. It can only be assumed, consequently, that these enthusiasts have a vision of increased profits and dividends— hence the enthusiasm RED CROSS ELECTS.

ANALYSES TWO. PROPOSALS Claims One Would Serve, Other Ex- ploit Publio. In a statement issued yesterday, the American Farm Bureau Federation declared Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals would net the government $42,000,00 more than the new offer re- cently tendered by the nine principal associated power companies of the southern states. The statement declared that examl- nauon of the two offers dlsclosed that Ford would pay a total of $130,526,800 over a fifty-year period, whereas the power companles, the federation con- tends, would pay $87,800,000. “This so-called offer of $100,000,000 becomes, upon investigation, neither a bona fide offer nor is it a payment of $100,000,000," sald Gray Silver, Wash- ington representative of the federation. “It is merely a suggestion that these aliled power companies may subscribe enough to pay 4 per cent interest on the cost of the Wilson dam. “The offer made by these water- power interests adroitly leaves the manufacture of fertilizer out of the Question, and it does not indicate how much power they would be willing to sell to any one who is willing to Invest his millions {n the rebuilding of nitrate plants for the manufacture of fer- tilizer and who is willing to experi- ment and advance the air nitrate manufacture business both for the farmers who ume fertilizer and for *he nation st large, which must have unlimited and cheap nitrate in time of war. Neither do they or can they tell what the power would cost the manufacturer, although .they hint cheap power. “We do not believe that Congress will permit the issue to be confused or delayed by the corespondence be- tween & group of power interests who indicate what they might do under certain conditions when Henry Ford is before them. One would serve the public, the other exploit it." WOMAN, HIT BY CAR, DIES AY CASUAL Train Crew to Be Quizzed at Inquest at District Morgue.
