ANNIVERSARIES IN ST. MARICS PARISH stones of Their Labors When a man, great and good, has succeeded in attaining some high sta- tion in life, it is altogether fitting and proper that he should, if the occasion offers, look back from the eminence on which he stands to the path by which he rose. A man whose life, crowned by spiritual labors redound- ing to the worldly success of those with whom he came in contact and to their salvation hereafter, is es- pecially worthy of note. Rev. Harry I Bodley, pastor of St. Mark's Episcopal church, is passing through a year which is replete with sigpificance and reminiscenses of his whole life. It is really an anniver- sary vear.

Increasing contention gave little promise of sending the bill to conference before next week. War taxation of newspaper and magazine publishers was the principal subject of today's debate. Senators Hardwick of Georgia and McKellar of Tenn3:ssee championed substitutes for the finances commit- tee’s amendment providing for a spe- | cial tax of five per cent. on puklisher’s net incomes exceeding $4,000 annual- iy and increase of second class mail rates from one to one and a quarter cents a pound. The committee provi- sion was written as a substitute for the house zone system increase of sec- ond class rates, denounced by virtual- ly all publishe Under the commit- | tee’s plan $7,500,000 in revenue would be obtained from publishers’ incomes and $3,000,000 from the 1 1-4 cent i pound postage increase. Irom the one cent increase on letters §50,000,- 000 revenue is estimated. Senator Hardwick advocated a sub- stitute, indorsed by the post depart- ment proposing to maintain the pres- ent cent a pound rate on news por- tions of publications but increasing, by graduation from three to eight cents a pound, the second class rate on proportions devoted to advertis- | | ing. He cited that $80,000,000 an- nually is lost by the government in carrying second class matter, mostly magazines, filled with advertising at the one cent mail rate. Senator McKellar's substitute is for a modified zone increase system, leaving present rates within a radius of 300 miles—the average circulation range of newspapers—to reach mag, azines and other peridocials circu= lating usually over wider territory. Representatives of newspaper inter- ests are giving it their support. The finance committee met today and dis ed measures in behalf of the majority revision, levying $562,- 000,000 or about 26 per cent. on this vear's war profits.

Charles Rwl(-\ . the group hewmded by Senators John- son of California, Borah, La Follette, Kenvyon, Hollis, Husting, King, Gore, Norris and others also conferred on their plan of campaign. Senator La Follette is preparing another exhaus- tive address on the war profits ques- tion, and is expected to offer an amendment to take 80 per cent. of such profits. If rejected, other mem- bers of the group favoring higher tax- ation will offer amendments for lower rates, graduated downward but de- signed to obtain the highest levy pos- sible. Senators La Follette and Hol- lis also have amendments pending for increasing levies on individual in- comes. DR. WALDENSTROM DEAD. Memorial Service to Be Held at Beth- any Church.
