Earlier in the day the land arma ment problem had been debated be hind closed doors by the delegates of the big five powers, without further results than the appointment of a sub-committee to consider, collateral subjects like the use of airplanes and poison gases. Premier Briand, of France, making his farewell speech to the conference, pressed his argu ment that his country dared not dis arm unless she had guarantees from the others powers, and although the general discussion drew renewed ex pressions of support from every other national group, no one proposed any formal' joint declaration of policy. On the side of the naval reduction program developments were so com pletely out of the picture that some of vthe delegates showed impatience and pointed out the possible danger that the negotiations might become confused by too exhaustive V discus sion of detals. It is possible the naval expert will be asked to simplify their methods so as to expedite action, , - Tomorrow will be a day of 'rest io far as meetings of the conference and its sub-divisions are concerned, ' al though it may see some real progress through consultation among the var ious individuals -and groups. Tax Revision Bill Becomes Law President Harding Signs Bill in Clos ing Hour of Special Session Con sidered Only Temporary Measure. Washington, Nov. 23-The tax re vision bill became law late today, President Harding signing it at the capitol during the closing hour of the special session of Congress. This is the bill which repeals the excess profits and tranportation tax. es, does away with most of the so called nuisance and luxury taxes, re duces individual taxes all along the line and increases the corporation in come tax from 10 per cent to 12 per cent. Few if any Senators supporting the measure were entirely satisfied with all of its sections, but they took the view that is contained more good provisions than bad ones. The measure i3 generally conceded to be only a temporary one and the understanding now is that a new revenue bill will have to be framed within a year or so. In the four hours of debate which preceded the Senate , vote, the bill re-1 ceived little of commendation. Every Senator, who spoke and there are nearly a dozen had -some complaint to make while several sharply criti oized the bill as a whole. First to Have, Discharfte Recorded. Mr. J. Frank Morrison of Lumber ton was the first "ex-soldier to have hig discharge from the army record ed in the register of deeds office. The book for registering discharges has arrived. .
