In her I- I tance, insurance, luxury, child labor I and postal tax sections. Provisions .approved today consti- . tuted practically all of those which I are undisputed and included the 1 finance committee's revision downward of the tobacco, amusement ad- I mlssiqn, club dues, excise or semiluxury. special and stamp tax sections. The senate also npproved the committee's action In eliminating ( taxes on gasoline', users of motor vehicles, mail order houses, and many articles classed as semi-luxuries. In view of the rapid progress made today, Chairman Blmmons, in charge , of the bill, expressed Increased con- " fidence for early passage of the measure in the belief that the republicans will not cause great delay in a vote. The bill as now framed, said Senator LrfFollette, in his report "favors the rich and grinds the poor." Quoting the estimate made by Sec retary McAdoo that government expenditures in 1919 would be $18,000.000, the Wisconsin senator declared , that more than the $6,000,000,000 ' total of the bill should be raised bv * taxation. The argument that the war is over and taxes consequently should be decreased has little or not weight, he said, when applied to the taxes on Incomes and war-excess profits. The bill as now constituted, he said, will take by taxation only $2,400,000.000 of the five billion dollar profits i made by corporations through the war, or 48 per cent, "although it has been widely heralded throughout the country as a bill which will levy an 80 per cen tax on war profits." "The principle that should guide us In framing this bill." the report said. "Is that no man should be allowed to retain a dollar of profits made out of this war when thousands of our people have been called upon to give everything, including their lives, for its prosecution, and millions must suffer great hardship on account of it. and generations must sweat and toil, to pay its cost. It is Intolerable that a favored few should be allowed I to amass great fortunes by reason of : this war." _ ' Senator LaFollette concurred in | the republican minority finance comj mittee report opposing fixing of the I rates of taxation in^ 1920 at this time. ! wilson lands in france 1 amid big Demonstration ^(C^pntinued From Page One.) the ^resident, and turn his presence to a party advantage.

The fine seaport of Brest Is an ad- i mirable stage for such an historic landing. Its'hills and ramparts give a fine view, and the crowded docks a wide roadstead. Long before noon the people gathered at commanding points, gazing seawards, each trying to catch out of the lifting mist the first eight of President Wilson's vessel and.its escorts of American bat ticanipa. xu uie lorenoon, uie J? rencn I warships Montcalm, Admiral and Aubo, and half a dozen destroyers left the port for the roadstead where they lined up In readiness to salute with 21 guns and the regulation seven fold oheer of French naval courtesy. It was under a grey Breton sky, but without Breton rain, that the crowds assembled on the shore from the roadport to the railway station. Color, which the sulky sun refused to give, was provided by the masses of peasant folks in^gay country costumes, marvelons embroideries upon blua and redUsllk dnssses and smu lng lace calps, covering coiffures | which hairdressers are unable even to Imitate.

THE/CH URATES TO BE SOLO AJJOST Government Stock to Be Offered Farmers Without Profit. Senator Simmons and Representative Small on the Job for North Carolina. BY H. E. C. BRYANT. Washington. Dec. 13.?Senator Simmons and Representative Small ire working to alleviate the critical iltuatlon relative to the distribution jf nitrate of soda to the farmers of S'orth Carolina and of the country generally. Numerous inquiries are coming in !rom North Carolina. Congress passed a law *about two years ago authorizing the secretary of agriculture ;o purchase nitrate of soda, and to fell the s^me to farmers at cost. This ?lan was of great advantage to the j miners. necenny nie hk'.tuuurai fepartment has been unable to secure any nitrate of soda because of ack of ships with which to transsort the commodity to this country ind also because the available supplies were required by the governnent for the manufacture of muniions. The armistice finds the government with large stocks of nitrate of loda stored at Wilmington. Charles:on and other ports.- The war Indus- I irles board is willing to dispose of1 the larger part of the soda, but the l point has been raised tha^ under the law it must be sold at cwt. The article was purchased by the govern- , ment at figures far in excess of what the farmers have been paying and It is a question whether It can be disposed at less than the war prices, which the farmer would consider exorbitant. , In order that the government be protected against* loss, the war trade board has had under consideration the stoppage of further Importation of the commodity until the stocks on hand are sold. Senator Simmons hfes insisted that one of two courses be pursued, to wit: That no prohibition be placed upon importation and give the farmers the advantage in price of the reduction in the demand of the present surplus supply, or that the nitrate now on hand be sold by the government directly to the farmers at the prices for which they could purchase it in the open market. Secretary of War Baker today assured Senator Simmons that the nitrate stored at Wilmington and other South Atlantic ports will be distributed to the farmer's at cost, fir the extent that it can be used by them. The war department also takes the position that none of the soda will be sold at a profit to the planters. I CAROLINA DEATH RECORD. ] - J j MRS. LAURA M. 8. HOW AN.
