Over three hundred -mill w-rkers went on strike here today on ac count of the transfer of an employe to another department. either induce'' or force some revision of rovenue legislation during this session of Congress, and has express ed a willingness to aiil in any way to bring about taxation reform.. Despite1 this latest endeavor, it is apparent the Ways and Means, Com mittee will !o nothing at this session of Congress,. The decision-of Republican leaders to refrain from removing the in equalities which crept into taxation legislation during the stress and strain .of war will mean that not un til 1922 will the country be relieved of the.se burdens. When Congress meets agai next November, there will be an i .pressed desire to await the recomm 'ndations of the new President in the following March. Then the subject will be debated at length, and the taxablo returns, un der a revised schedule, cunnot be made applicable until the 1922 tax ation period. Under existing conditions, it vould require not more than one week "of work on the part of Congress to re move from the law at least some of the inequalities. Pointing out how much needless trduble is-caused tax payers and the injury business suf fers, Secretary Houston said : "Complexity ih tax laws violates the most fundamental canon of taxa tion, that the liability shall be certain ana aciimte. n is not merely a source of irritation, labor and ex pense to the taxpayers, but when co joined as it is in the present law, with the heavy rates of taxation which war exigency has forced upon' us, it becomes a major menace, threatening enterprise with heavy but indefinable ' future obligations, generating a cloud of old claims and potential-back taxes which fill the taxpayers with dread, creating, to bo sure, an attractiva source' of addi tional revenue, but clogging the ad ministrative. maihinory -and threaten ing, indeed, its possible breakdown." Every source of trouble could be removed by three or four simple amendments to tl;e present legisla tion, Secretary Houston believes. H. P. Foxhall of Tarboro, "Gard ner For. Covernor" enthusiast, and. Sheriff Taylor of Lenoir county, last night took a poll of the travelers on the Southern train between Raleigh and Selma and found a total of 111 that are out for Gardner' 60 for Mor rison and 41 for Pagfu 60 for Morrison and '41 for Page. The travelers were not all. polite to the informal takers, according to Mi. Foxhall. Some of them were rather displeased with tne idea of be ing approached upon the subject, vvhiel the sheriff of Lenoir came in' for his share of the expressed dis pleasure also. Nevertheless the poll was taken, and two politicians were well satisfied with' the result. Mr. Foxhall states that in some sections of the state Page is rapidly coming to the front and gaining., ground, but at the same time his man, Gardner, is holding his own and the fight promises to be one of in terest when: the primaries roll around. It is of interest to the Gardner vtoers to know that their man holds" the lead in even the smallest informal poj, and if the train poll taken by the two politicians last night is in any way an indication to the feeling Uiroughout the state Gardner will be assured for a majority that will land him in Raleigh's white house for four years. , -: ' - ' .
