' WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. That
the Gulf Oil company eseaoed
M,r,50,:thS In federal taxes during
'the years 1K15 to 1919 when Secre
tary Mellon was a chief owner, la
asserted by engineers employed by
the senate committee Investigating
trie internal revenue bureau.
I The record In the Gulf oil case
as made before the committee last
Murch was made public today up
on its preaentallon to the senate.
The engineers asserted that the
revenue board made a refund of
S3.996.08l) to the company and fail
ed to collect additional taxes of
I594.J05.
A. H. Fay. a committee engineer,
testified that the Gulf Oil com
pany's case was niHhed through
the bureau and closed within sev
en Working days because Mr. Mel
lon desired to have all outsido, in
terest with which he was connect
ed closed before he took office in
March. 1921.
Open defiance of both the Intern
al revenue solitlcitor and Commis
sioner Illnlr by division chiefs In
the handling of the tax case of the
Standard Oil company of Californ
ia also waa charged in testimony
before the committee.
The standard OH case Involves
nn over-assessment or refund for
the year 1918 of S3.378.0OO and
hinges on whether the company
should be allowed to change Ha
methods of charging development
costs from capital to expense. Com
missioner Blair ruled that the
change could not be made but the
division chiefs disagreed and In
formed representalivea of the sen
ate committee that they proposed

CORPORATION IDEA
(Aawviatrtl Ptwb ImM Wire.)
CHICAGO. Dec. 10. Th Ameri
can Farm Hurra u Federation has
chosen as Ua new president S. H.
Thompson of Quinry, III., a leader
of the forces advocating a federal
export corporation and a critic of
President Coolldpe'g agricultural
speech made hore Inst Monday.
The convention also passed a
rcHoIutlon favoring the enactment
of a federal law based on the
farmorn export corporation princi
ple. This resolution, the last on a
lint of 37, was the first to bo pasa
ed after Mr. ThompHonH election
had dnfi away with prospects of
a strenuous ficht on the subject.
r. A. McNeil, of Montgomery,
Ala., was re-elected vice president
and a new board of directors waa
named In a session lasting into the
early morning hours. Mr. Thomp
son, who for the last three years
has been president of the Illinois
farmers organization, defeated C.
R. Uradfute of Xenla, Ohio, who
hftd occupied the position for three
years. The new president's term
will be for two years at nn annual
HRlHry of 12.5O0.
voeated by the organization Is ;
similar to the McNary llaugen mea- j
sure, rejected by congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
The Rev. James Shwra Mont
gomery, chaplain of the house,
addressing the convention of
the American Grocery Special
ty Manufacturers' Association
here, Interpreted the controv
ersy between modernists and
fundamentalists in en even
dozen words.
He said: "Modernists say
'there ain't no hell Funda
mentalists say 4the bell there
ain't.'"
form organizations has addressed
the president with their complaint
as to the attitude of the ad mini a
tiafion on prohibition enforcement
They gay the law Is a "joke," a
"national scandal," and even go so
far as to etate that the "president
never yet has definitely and unre
servedly committed bis administra
tion to the enforcement of the
eighteenth amendment as provided
by his oath of office,"
There Is little that is helpful or
constructive in such criticism as
this. It makes no specific charge, it
suggests no solution. It degenerates
Into mere scolding. This disclaimer
of such leaders as Mrs. Ella A.
Boole, president of the W. C. T.
TJ.: Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of
the Methodist board; Oliver W.
Stewart, of the flying squadron,
and Edwin C. Itfuwiddie, of the
Good Templars, shows that this
denunciation does not meet with
the approval of many who are most
earnest In their desire for prohibi
tion enforcement
If dry law advocates expected
perfect enforcement of the law in
one year, ten years or a hundred
years after its passage, they were
deplorably ignorant of human na
ture and of history. Hammurabi,
kin? of Babylonia 4000 years ago,
codified the laws then in force,
many of them no doubt already
hoary with age. Along with others
that find their counterpart in mo
dern statutes and vigorous enact
ments against murder. The Mos
aic code puts it bluntly "Thou shalt
not kill," yet after 40m) years or
am-mpted enforcement by men of
every race, age and culture, we
find the United States, the most
progressive people In the world,
struggling unsuccessfully with the
task of enforcing laws against this
primitive crime. The law is evi
dently a failure. The proof is to
be found in the fact that 11.000 per
sons were killed by violence in this
country In 1921.
Another blunder of Moses' was
the restriction "Thou shalt not
steal." It cost the United States
last vear. according to official es
timate, $3,820,000,000 the amount
lost bv the operations of criminals.
The suggestion that a bill will be
presented to Congress repealing
the Volstead act comes on the
same day that we read of Russia's
dismay at the result of her return
to 40 per cent vodka. Within a
week thev are beginning to consid
er how they may restrain the wild
boast thev have unchained.
If the United States counts Its
murders by the ten thousands and
its loss by robberies In billions
now, what would It be with liquor
adding its inflammatory influence;
The prohibition law Is new; Its ma
chinery has yet to be developed,
but It has not failed, and will not
fail. It must not be permitted to

Costly Carelessness. ' !
Carelessness In the United !
Staes cost sixty-seven million dol- ;
lars from fires last year, according
to figures compiled by insurance ;
experts. In 14 states the chief ,
cause of fires was matches and ,
.tmoklng. and In 17 others it was ;
defective flues, furnaces and pipes.
Versons handling matches or
topping away stubs or dottle know ;
that there Is not more than one ,
chance In a million of causing a I
fire. Hut the knowledge that the '
one exception may cause the loss
of home or life does not make them
carWul. !
Contractors and bonsebuilders. i
confronted with the Information
that fault v construction cost' 3!)
million dollars last year continue
to build carelessly. They know
that a flue, one brick thick, may
easily become defective and causae
fire, and that rafters, walls, or
floors too close lo chimneys ore
likely to Ignite, yet they continue
to erect flimsy buildings that even
tunlly hecomo firelraps.
'1 he solution of the construction
problem li'S within the power of
nome owners and home buyers.
They have only to refuse to buy
houses which are defective In cen-
si ruction. Such action would
quickly cause a revolution of house
instruction. For If builders dis
covered that llu're was no market
for flimsy build incs they would
comply with demands.
There is no such remedy, how
ever, for careless handling of mat-
dies. These necessities cannot ho
prohibited, and their use cannot be
regulated. Public opinion, how
ever, csn bring a reduction of lite
loss from Kiuh sources. 1 Hiring
the Influenza epidemic persons
who nneeett or coughed without
covering the nosp with a handker
chief met scowls nud frowns. The
same treatment for careless hand
lers of matches might help check
fire losses. I
When public opinion concerning :
carelessly caused fire does become
crystallized, the UniHd States will
cease to lead the worf In fire los
ses. Hut until that time rcms
householders will insure their
homes and live . In dread. Port
