Bills Include Taxes. “The bills that must be footed by the ultimate consumer include the added charges for taxes in every in stance. whether they be for rent, mer- chandise, utility Service, n | tion or professional aid. Th | cost of government, joined with the | alarming increase of costly credit buy- | ing of the individual, goes a long way toward defeating any improvement in the national living standard due to higher wages. “Eccentric personal economies, such as _have been attributed, erroneously, nd® doubt, to President Coolidge, not calculated to benefit the country for the reason that our purchasing power is expended almost wholly | within our own borders.

Newport News Chosen for Next Virginia Convention. 8pecial Dispatch to The Star. LYNCHBURG, Va., May 16.—The fittieth convention of the Disciples of Christ of Virginia adjourned here yes- terday afternoon to meet next year at Newport New The convention was characterized as the best the church has ever held.

LADY ABERDEEN LAUDED. French Woman Pays Glowing Trib- ute to Council Head. The following eulogy of Lady Aber- deen was delivered at the closing ses- slon of the International Council of Women by Mme. Clara Guthrie d’Arcis, one of the delegates: “I cannot close without voicing the tribute of which my heart is so full to that wonderful woman, the fore- most_international feminine figure of the day. I owe her my presence here tonight; I owe her my renewed in- spiration, faith, courage and energy for the cause which I have been per- mitted to plead before you. Thais mar- velous mother of humanity who, in all the exalted places to which life has called her—whether as the first lady of the land in Canada s vice-reine in Ireland, as a mere president for 20 years in the great International Coun @il of Women, or in that most delight- ful of her roles, heme-maker and host. ss, has never failed to be a living example herself of the doctrine of sympathy and understanding, toler- ance and love, of that golden rule which is the motto of the Internation al Council. “Mme. President, you have been an inspiratjon to all fortunate enough to have come close into the circla of your influence and to millions who have never seen you, for you have shown us how noble, how difficult, how beau- tiful and how necessary a thing it is to he both an ardent patriot and an ar- dent peacemaker. Ior what you have done for millions of women out there and for me, but above all for what You are, Lady Aberdeen, I thank you.” QUAKE VICTIMS STARVING. | By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. PARIS, April 28.—The Washington naval accords, negotiated by Premier Briand in 1921 and signed under the premiership of M.

Resolutions were adopted indorsing the tax reduction policy of President Coolidge and protesting against the imposition of the State sales taxes on tobacco products and declaring that discrimination is being shown against American tobacco products in some foreign countries and some American territorie: ““We believe that in times of peace, and prosperity, such as our country is now happily enjoying, tax- ation, both direct and indi ought to be reduced to the v 1 by giving impetus to the developing ®nd, furthermore, as the tobacco in- dustry, outside of income taxes, fur- mishes the largest source of revenue to the Government, we feel that the time has come for a substantial down- ward revision of the tax rates on tobacco products, which, though originally imposed to meet the then existing war emergency, are still in force,” it was declared in the asso- clation'd tax resolution. The levying of State taxes is caus ing losses in revenue to those States of mail order business in the taxed products which can be sent in from other States without payment of the tax, the association declared. .
