A large number of unobjected bills =104 in all—were acted upon at a session of the Senate last night Among them was a Senate bill, by the late Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, authorizing the expenditure of $1,250,- 000 for the censtruction of buildings in Tokio to house the American em- bassy and the American consulate. A bill authorizing the owners of the Malta Maru, Japanese steamship, to bring suit against the United States Government for damages caused by a collision with the Coast cutter Tallapoosa, off Pens Fla., September 11, 1923, also passed. The bill already has been passed by the House.

Although the m been mw t interested was long since dead, and despite the certainty that many bills of a wider effect will be lost in the legislative jam precedng adjournm . the Senate paused long enough to strike the word “deserter” from the record of a Clvil War pri- vate Michael Curran enlisted in Company I 114th Ohio Infantry in 1862, was captured in Arkansas the next year, and, being paroled, rejoined his com- mand. It was then learned he was under 18 and he was discharged. On arriving at the legal age he re-en- listed, but in the interim he had been charged with desertion, and the record had never been corrected. h an embargo was ed. production of MRS. TUCKERMAN HEARD IN $50,000 DAMAGE SUIT Denies Charges of Doctor's Wife | Growing Out of Dispute Over Rummage Sale Dress. Mrs. Edith A. M. Tuckerman, wife of Walter Tuckerman. and prominent in society circles, is defending before Justice Stafford and a jury in Cir- cuit Division 2 a civil suit for $50,- 000 damages brought against her b Mrs. Myrtie McMaster, wife of physician, of 200 East Capltol street.

C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 650 ATTEND CHAMBER DINNER OPENING MAYFLOWER HOTEL Lioyd Tells of Hopes of DR. LOWELL RAPS COLLEGE CREDITS lmaginafion, Not Marks, Counts at Harvard, Presi- dent Declares. Imagination, not credits, ates Harvar# students, Dr. A. Law- rence Lowell, president of Harvard University, declared last night in an address at the 424 annual dinner of the Harvard Club of Washington, held in the Racquet Club, 1135 Six- teenth street. President Lowell scored the present-day method of colleges and universities in allowing students to enter colleges on the strength of credits, on the ground that credits are merely something which the student works for, obtains and promptly forgets. Thomas W. Slocum, presidens of the Harvard | Club of Baltimore made a short ad- | dress. Justice Walter McCoy, presi- dent of the local Harvard Club, who presided, also spoke. “The day of the ‘greasy grind’ is_gome in American colleges” as- serted Mr. Lowell, “the attitude of the student of today is to obtain a middle mark, called a gentieman's mark. At Harvard we are getting away from this. Our tutors work for the student to stimulate his in- terest in something more than mere eredits; he is coached to become a specialist. The attitude of the larger university is to drop the gourses that will detract from the student’s ob- taining an education intellect. 1 mean by intellect, education suffi- clent to go into the world and be prepared for life. “The competition of life is more serious today than it was in years past. Business men find competition more keen and the demand for in- tellect s more exacting. The manner in which we pick students at Harvard is not from the men who have the most credits, but to find out how stupld & man may be to enter Har- vard and graduate, and then set the qualifications acordingly. A very moderate amount of work will take a man through college today. Why, not more than two hours' honest work a day will graduate a man. “The curse of American education is the counting of credits, the practice of medical colleges allowing students | to enter medical &chools with a faw credits He should have a common knowledge of what his credits amount to and how they are related to the subjects he will have to pass on in medical school. Our Harvard men are not graduated on credits but on general examinations and what they actually know—common sense,” said Dr. Lowell in closing. Mr. Slocum spoke on the prepara- tion being made for the annual con- vention of Associated Harvard Clubs to be held in Baltimore in May. Jus- tice McCoy told a number of stories relating to the carly life of Harvard. M. H. DE YOUNG BURIED WITH SIMPLE CEREMONY | Cathedral Crowded, Official and Civic Leaders and Associates Joining in Tribute. gradu- By the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., February 19.—A low mass, the most simple of the rites which the Catholic Church accords its dead, was held in St Mary's Cathedral vesterday for M. H. De Young. publisher of the San Fran- cisco Chronicle and a pioneer in the civic betterment of San Francisco and the Far West. The simplicity of the services was in accord with Mr. De Young's wlishes. The cathedral was crowded. and the audience fncluded bfficials of the Fed- eral, State and city governments and many leaders in the community. Mgr. Charles A. Ramm, who recent- Iy baptized Mr. De Young into the Catholic Church, administered the last rites. Most Rev. Edward J. Hanna, Archbishop of San Francisco, pronounced the final blessing. There was no eulogy. The procession from the residence | to the cathedral was led by a com- pany of police and two companies of firemen. There was no procession after the services. Interment was in Holy Cross Cemetery. Members of every department of the San_Francisco Chronicle, which Mr. De Young founded more than 50 vears ago, attended the funeral in a body. PLEA FOR WORLD COURT. NEW YORK, February 19.—Henry W. Taft appealed to the American public by radio last night to bring this country into the World Court. Speaking from the Hotel Plaza, where 12,000 persons attended a World Court ball, Mr. Taft said that although the court was “functioning according to the American ideals” America has not jolned it. Only an aroused public opinion, he asserted, could make the Senate realize that this country be- N 1925. END OF . INHERI FAVORED BY (Continued from First Page.) / clearances of the States who claim a right to tax the property is a serious burden to the heir who is to receive the stock. Particularly is this ex- pense disproportionate to a tax paid by a small es.ate which has but a few shares of stock. In many cases the expense alone must exceed the total value of the shares which it is sought to transfer. Looking at it from the standpoint of State revenue, I am told it is probable that the full cost of executors of ascertaining the tax and obtaining the necessary transfers is in the aggregate nearly as much as the tax received by the States upon this property of non- resident decedents. Here, indeed, is extravagance in taxation. Getting State Co-Operation. “A solution of this problem presents the difficulty of obtaining reciprocal action on the part of the States. 1 feel, however, that, in fairness to each other and to their taxpayers, some way will be found of obviating this extravagance by giving up entirely the collection of taxes upon personal property of non-resident decedents, or | by the imposition upon the transfer| of such property of a tax extremely| simple in administration and low in amount. “The second field of extravagance in the collection of taxes—a Wwrong system—rests, not with the States alone, but there must be included also the Federal Government. It matters not in this particular who levies the tax, but the sole question is whether the total of all taxes collected is %0 excessively high as to be economically unsound. There are, as I have said clrcumstances where the aggregate of estate and inheritance taxes may exceed the value of the property left by the decedent. This is not usual, but we have come to a point of estate and inheritance taxation, reaching, as it does, 40 per cent in the Federal law and perhaps higher in some States, where the total burden closely approaches, if it is not actually, con- fiscation. “I do not believe that the Govern- ment should seek social legislation in the guise of taxation. We should ap- proach the questions directly, where the arguments for and against the proposed legislation may be clearly presented and universally understood. If we are to adopt soclalism, it should be presented to the people of this country as socialism, and not under the guise of a law to tollect revenue. The people are quite able to deter- mine for themselves the desirabilly of a particular public policy and do not ask to have such policies forced upon them by indirection. Personally, I do not feel that large fortunes properly managed are necessarily a menance to our institutions and therefore ought to be destroyed. On the con- they have been and can be of value f6r our development. In approaching the second field of ex- travagance, J, ‘therefore shall consider inheritance and estate taxes as a social effort, but as a revenue measure. Take Part of Capital. “Differing from income taxas, which are deductions from what a taxpayer makes each year, which presumably can be made with- out hardship, inheritance and estate taxes are capital taxes; they take a part of the accumulated capital of the nation. This capital is not usually represented by cash or readily mar- ketable securities, but it may be a business built up by the decedent through his lifetime, or property long held, for which there is no immediate market In consequence, to pay in- heritance and estate taxes in cash executors must sell the property which comes into their hands at what is equivalent to a forced sale, with the usual conmsequences of loss in value. I venture to say that for exec- utors to pay a 40 per cent tax they would have to realize in cash, in the ordinary large estates, probably 60 per cent of the appraised value of the estate. “The effects of these excessive taxes are twofold: First, they tend to lower values throughout the coun- try by reason of forcing upon the market securities which cannot be readily absorbed, thus lowering the very level of values upon which {n- heritance and estate taxes are actu- ally based. Secondly, they take away the inspiration to work in order to build up a business or creates a prop- erty. It is difficult to overestimate the contribution to the progress of this country made by the man of abil- ity actuated largely by this motive to protect the future of his family. If America had not been free to any man to make his fortune within the law and within his abilities, we would not be the great Nation we are today. To destroy incentive is to lessen the production and the prosperity of the country. “Let me summarize before passing to the second object of the present conference. The burden of taxation is one from which relief must be found. It touches directly and Indi- rectly all of our citizens. The most obvious fleld of economy is for the Government to spend less. It is, how- ever, equally desirable that the bur- den put by the Government on its citizens be productive of Government revenue and not destructive of the property of the taxpayer, for it Is what the taxpayer gives rather than lieves in the international tribunal. you’ll see the quality in these 45, 55 OVERCOATS That Have Been Reduced to $94.75 You'll be glad of to get such a fine coat at so low a price—just take the line above that tells you what they formerly sold at! 4 TrOSne 1323 F STREET NG —house of Kuppenheimer good what the Government ultimately & 65 the opportunity a “good look” at not | and payment for| TANCE TAX MR.

Decreanes Property Value. “At the last few annual meetings of the National Tax Association and at a recent conference of the tax com- missioners of several states che posi- tion has been taken that the Federal Government should withdraw from the fleld of estate taxes. This view has much to commend it. Histor- ically, the Federal Government has ontered this fleld only on the occasion | of war emergency, and, in every case. except the present, has withdrawn when the reason for exceptional taxa- tion ceased. The emergency created | by the great war, when last the Fed- edal Government entered the fleld has ended. The right to inherit prop- erty owes its existence, not to any | Federal law, but to the laws of the | States Federal estate taxation, therefore, has not the natural excuse which is conceded to State inheritance taxation. The Federal Government being in the fleld, however, particu- | larly with rates as excessive as those recently adopted, results in a very material decrease in the amount and value of the property upon which the States levy their inheritance taxes. If the States are to suffer diminution in revenue from this source, they can make up their lossés only by higher taxes in other fields “Already the taxes levied States upon land are so hig menace the prosperity of th by as to source—being in the last only $103,000,000 out of $2,700,000,000 total internal revenue taxes for that year—the Federal Government should be careful not taxing the very pe most wishes to relieve. may not be able to absorb so great a loss of revenue in one year, we could provide for gradual retirement from the field as our Government expenses decrease. “It is to be hoped that your deliber- ations will help to arouse interest and lead to popular study of these ques- tions. We seldom need to be very tearful of what Government may do in handling questions that the pub- lic thoroughly understands. There- fore, conferences and considerations which tend, as yours must, to enlight- en the public mind on these involved jssues, are of greatest value to the whole community. With all confi- dence that the work of this present | conference will prove timely and helpful, I extend to you the assurance that the Natfonal Government will be glad to avail itself of all helpful re- sults that may flow from your work.” fiscal year Forty States Represented.
