TAX BILL MUDDLE STILL_[N]EEII]EI] Bil Must Be Virtwly Re: written—More Delays ‘Washington, Oct. 7.—Majority mem- bers of the senate finance committea werao faced today with the task of vir- tually re-writing the major sections of tha tax bill, reported more than two weekd ago. Some details of the compromise plan tentatively agreed upon by republican leaders remained to be worked out, but Senator Penrose, in charge of the tax meapare predicted that the “per- fecte@”” bill would be passed next week. Other leaders were less OD- timistic, however, believing that the fight to come over the sales taX, re- peal of the excess profits tax, and some other provisions would prevent final action within that time. Those sponsoring the revised pro- gram counted upon it not only to Gas, Indigestion, Stomach Misery _“Diapgpsin’_’ “Pape’s Diapepsin” has proven it- self the surest relief for Indigestion, Gases, Flatulence, Heartburn, Sour- ness, Fermenation of Stomach Distress caused by acidity. A few tablets give almost immediate stomach relief and shortly the stomach is corrected so you can eat favorite foods without fear. Large case costs only few ceats at drug store. Millions helped annual- 1y. bridge the gap the original bill caused in the republican ranks but also to drow some support from the minority site. While they had not been advised of the details of all the proposed changes, democratic leaders pointed out that the 50 per cent. maximum surtax rate, repeal of the transport: tion taxes and retention of the co poration capltal stock tax, formed major part of the revision plan which they presented to the senate early in the week. The democrats have also contended for a repeal of the $2,000 exerffption allowed corporations. This is under- stood to have been included in the re- publican compromise program - but some opposition has developed, the claim being made that this would work a hardship on the small corpo- rations. It was to meet this objection that a proposal for a ten per cent. tax on corporations having a net income under $50,000 a year was advocated. The ten per cent. rate is 2 1-2 per cent below the minimum proposed by the democrats who, however, have urged a maxium rate of 25 per cent. Some finance committee republicans are oppdsed to a graduated tax, argu- ing that it would not yield the required revenue from this source. The demo- crats do not agree as to this and con- tend that a sliding scale is the better plan. 3 The proposal advanced by the ma- jority tor increased inheritance taxes is a new one so far as the senate is concerned. But democratic members of the house ways and means com- mittee urged this action when the ori- committee. A final agreement by the committee. A final wgreement by the majority as to increases in this matter apparently remains to be reached. This and other matters it is said, are to be threshed out at sessions of the finance conmimittee republicans.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, RESIDENT WORKERS’ COLLEGE 1S OPENED Men and Women o Train lor Labor Leadership Katonah, N. Y., Oct. 7—Brookwood, a resident workers' college, opened here today with more than 30 men und women students who will train for leadership in labor and farm movements. The college, which was founded by a number of labor organizations, aims to train economists, statisticians, writ- ers, teachers, organizers and other workers and speakers “in order tHat these (labor) movements may have people coming from their own ranks with their own point of view who, are fully capable by training and knowl- edge of exercising a genuine states- manship.” Brookwood will be not only a col- lege but an experiment in commun- ity living. Every pne will take his turn at washing dishes and_perform- ing the neccessary tasks about the school grounds. “Faculty and students perform the jobs that call for attention from cook- ing to woodcutting and from farming to dish washing,” said the college prospectus. ‘“The importance and dignity of hand work and head work are both fully recognized.” The school will be one of genuine democracy and self-government, ac- cording to announcements. The rul- ing power of the college will be an academic “town meeting,” where everybody will have one vote, whether faculty member or student. The course of study will be two years, but there wlll be a third year of post-greduate work of a specialized character for those who wish. The regular course the first year includes, social problems, history of civiliza- certain practical courses, such as sta- tistics, labor organization, labor and farm journalism and workers educa- tion. Students to the college are chosen by labor organizations who have do- nated scholarships. The co-operative labor committee, which took a prominent part in founding the institution is headed by John Fitzpatrick, Chicago labor leader and James H. Maurer, presi- dent of the Pennsylvania State Fed- eration of Labor. CITY ITEMS The official board of Trinity M.
