Ind0rl,d t0?? by SeM(or Simmons, of North Carolina. chair man of the finance committee, who W ***** Washington to consider revenue problem, which Ki iMmmlttee must aid in solving Whllo Senator Simmon* was an n sundae his views. Senator Smoot, of Utah, Republican member of the Unanoe committee, gave out a state ment attacking Secretary McAdoo'e (?ural financial statement issued ye?terday The Utah senator u aerted that all 0( the secretary's revenue esUmates were too high and those for expenses too low. and that misleading bookkeeping changes had been resorted to. Differing from hla fellow North Carolinian, Rcpreeentatlve Kltchln new majority leader of the house! Senator Simmons announced himself as an earnest advocate of adequate defense and merchant marine legis lation. and expressed the conviction that the present Income tax exemp tion was far too high and that gaso line and automobiles ahould share the burden of the war tax. "Although I have not had an op portunity to Investigate closely the details of the administration's de fense program, '? saM Mr. Slmmone. "1 approve he general Idea which I understand underlies It. With ref erence to preparedness generally, I think that the sentiment of the peo ple of ray state would bo against what has been characterised as frenxled preparedness, but over whelmingly In favor of what might be termed common-sense prepared ness; that Is, preparedness that would enable us to protect ouraelves If attacked and to defend our rights upon the high seas, as well as the land. If these rights are Invaded. I would have a navy adequate not only for defense, but adequate to assert our rights. "1 think the reasons why the gov emmsst shonld provide for a mer chant marine are even greater to day than they were when the bll which failed at the last Congress was introduced, and I believe that the reasons will be stroqger when the war closes than they have been during Us continuance, becauae when the war cloves and the scramble for International trade sets In, as it In evitably will, our position will be a pitiably helpless one If we have to depend for ?he transportation to accommodate our yearly Bve billion dollar International trade, almost wholly npon our competitors In that trade. ."I am not In a position to express any dellnlle views about revenue needs because- I have not conferred with Presldsnt Wilson, the secretary of the treasury or members of the finance committee. Assuming that the deficit Will be no larger nexl year than this, U la evident that we will have to provide for raising a considerably larger sum of money. "I assume that the present tax on sugar will be continued. I aasume that the present war tax will. In the main, be continued with serine poe sible changes. I see th? suggestion that gasoline and automobiles shonld bs taxed. I believe that these two artlclea can well afford to bsar a shars of the burden that has been impoaed by war conditiona. "I Incline alao to think that the Inooas tax exemption la |00 high It ha4 results* In lass- than (00.000 people out of a total of 100.000.000 W'M t?o Wtlre tax derived from incomes. That does not seem to me to be quits fair." Turks Fall Back Before British. London, Nov. 1?. ?

Editor Dally Newt, 1 Dear sir: I have been following up the Items of news in yoar paper about tho national defense plan and have also been reading your editorial* on the subject with considerable Inter est. This matter Is meeting with a good deal of discussion on tho part of the other farmers In my section of the county and after reading Mr. Kitchin's statement in the Dally News last Saturday, a good many persons have expressed themselves as bring in sympathy with his stand. In fact, I have not heard a single farmer in this vicinity favor the proposed enormous expenditure of money for useless battleships. We are all In favor of improve ment in the navy, but not to the extent that Pr?sideut Wilson desires to make. We also feel that some thing should bo done towards Im proving our army. The army Is far more in need of appropriation than the nary and our Bt&ndlng army should be increased to about twice the sixe it is now. 1 don't know which way our con gressman Is going to vote oa the matter this fall, but I hope he will take everything Into consideration and give the matter careful thought. I believe he knows more about th^s matter than we farmers do and I would like to see an article in the Daily News from him. giving us some more information about the proposed national defense plan and how he feels towards It.
