BIKER PLEADS FOR
IE TAX RELIEF
Present Law Economic Bur-
den, Says Otto Kahn.
REMEDY DECLARED EASY
Immediate Action to Bring Lvy
Within Bounds of Moderation
Urged by Financier.
1NEW YORK. Jan. 13. Revision of
tne federal income tax law to bring
ttte levy "within the bounds of mod
eration," and afford relief "in the
present era of economic disturbance,"
was urged in an address here tonigtit
by Otto H. Kahn, New York banker.
r'Speaking before the council on for
eign relations, Mr. Kahn declared the
three chief factors in upsetting pres
ent day economics were the world's
demand for America's raw materials
and manufactured articles, inflation
and faulty taxation. The world's de
jriand for American materials and
ervices will slacken gradually, he
aid; the cure for inflation is a slow
ptocess, "but the remedy for faulty
taxation can be secured at once when
ever it pleases congress and the ad
ministration to seek that remedy and
apply it."
Citing an extreme instance in which
person in the highest taxable class
would have to make nearly 17 per
cent with a corporate security in his
"business to get the same return that
he would receive by investing in a
fax-free municipal, state or federal
bond, Mr. Kahn reached these con
clusions: "No bond foreign or domestic
can compete with the attractiveness
of tax exempt bonds to those in pos
session of incomes of any consider
able size.
Available Funds Reduced.
"The owners of medium sized or
large incomes have gone on strike
B far as investing in corporate se
curities is concerned, thus greatly
diminishing the quantity of funds
available for private enterprises.
'The American investment market
for the time being has been largely
destroyed; the shrinkage in the value
of existing corporate .bonds, which is
to the largest extent attributable to
income tax, amounts to billions of
dollars; the free flow of capital and
the normal working of the invest
ment market are absolutely basic ele
irtents for every kind of trade and
industry, and we cannot have a re
turn to normal conditions of trade,
prices, etc., until our investment
market will have come within meas
purable distance at least of "ormal
conditions, which is impossible as
long as our present income tax re
mains in force."
. Sir George Paish, British -economist,
declared that the world situation de
mands that America shall sell her
products for securities of unques
tioned value. ,
v Lusne Bond SiiKKMttd.
' "The security which would un
doubtedly find the greatest .favor In
the United States as well as in other
rountries," he said, "would be a bond,
free of all taxes both in the United
States and in all other countries, and
therefore of great value tor the pur
pose of interest payment. At what
rate of interest such bonds would
have to be Issued, can be gained only
by experience, but it is evident that
a league of nations bond, interest and
principal of which is guaranteed by
every member of the league, would
be the finest security that could be
issued. Its issue would assure to
American producers prompt payment
of their accounts."

Work of Adjusting Wages and
Prices Begun.
JOHN L. LEWIS CALLED
Demands of Miners Presented to
Wilson's Commission Price
Fixing Is . Discussed.
WASHINGTON". Jan. 13. The coal
strike settlement commission was en
abled to begin its actual work of con
sidering and adjudicating claims of
bituminous miners for advanced
wages and shorter working hours to
day by agreement of operators in the
central competitive field to partici
pate and abide by the decision of the
commission.
The commission immediately called
for John L. Lewis, acting president,
and other representatives of the mine
workers, to present the case 'for the
men.
Lewis and his associates set forth
demands as presented before the
strike last November for a 60 per cent
increase In wages, a 30-hour working
week and six other concessions.
Straightforwardly they told the com
mission they were not attempting
merely to obtain for the "miners in
creases over their war-time wages to
compensate them for increased cost
of living, but to get them enough for
permanently raised standards of liv
ing. Opcralora' Caae Presented.
Ralph Crews, counsel for the cen
tral field committee, made the reser
vation that the operators could not
legally participate in a coal price-fixing
agreement unless it were provid
ed that such ah agreement would ex
pire with the Lever food and fuel
control act.
The operators. Crews added, consid
ered that the commission's award "of
itself" would constitute a binding and
final wage agreement between min
ers and employers. President Robin
son of the commission said that Presi
dent Wilson's letter creating the com
mission empowered it only to make
an award which would "serve as a
basis upon which a new wage agree
ment can be made." .
Mr. Crews agreed to accept for the
operators whatever construction the
commission chose to place on the
words.
Mlf m' Complaints Heard.
The commission later called in min
ers representing the coal fields out
side of the central field for informal
con versation.
The miners presented a number of
complaints.
In accepting the commission's au
thorization, the operators, Mr. Crews
said, understood that the commission's
award should "of itself constitute a
final contract between the miners and
operators for the period of time fixed
by the commission."
President Robinson reminded" him
that President Wilson's letter creat
ing the, commission authorized it only
to make an award which might be
used as h "basis for a wage con
tract." He asked if the operators
would net modify the language in
their acceptance accordingly and Mr
Crews finally agreed that the com
mission should determine that point
Award Regcarded as Banla.
"The mine workers understand that
the award shall be a basis of a new
wage agreement, and not of itself an
agreement," Bald John L Lewis, act
ing president of the mine. workers.
"I trust the record is not being
made here which csn be used subse
quently as a basis for a refusal by
the- operators to write into a wage
agreement, the commission's award."
President Robinson said Mr. Crews'
stipulation that the commission
should 4iave power to determin what
the procedure should be had cleared
up this point.

may never come when other nations
may see us helpless and find us easy
to attack. The great lesson of the
forests of France must be borne home
to the-people of this country. There
a national forest policy of 125 years'
standing answered when the call
came."
He declared 25 years "is about the
limit of supply under our present
system of waste, or rather lack of
system with the forests our greatest
national resources."
Asserting that industry will make
great Inroads into the present timber
supply, even more than did the war,
Mr. Peck said:
"W'e must now, at once, provide
for forest crops for the future. The
center of the timber industry is fast
moving to the. Pacific coast. What
that means to a 'build-a-home' cam
paign east of the Alleghenles is eas
ily seen in high freight rates and
prohibitive coats."
"Lake states now import lumber
for their industries." he added, "and
the New England states are no longer
self-supporting. We must have a na
tional forest policy without delay."
Mr. Peck was re-elected president

Removals Due to Hostility of Op
ponents, Accused Relative,
and Assassin's Weapon.
PARIS. Jan. 13. Approach of the
presidential election in France, Jan
uary 17. recalls the fact that of the
nine presidents, who have occupied
the Elysee palace since the advent of
the third republic, in 1878. only three
Emli Loubet, Armand Fallieres and
Raymond Poincare have completed
their terms of office.
President Adolphe- Thiers, the first
chief executive, after the Franco
Prussian war. resigned after a little
more than two vears of trie seven-
year term, because of hostility on th
part of the majority to his conserva
tive policy.
Marshall MacMahon. the choice of
the monarchist majority as successor
to M. Tniers. served five years and
seven months. He then quit his post,
force.', out by the republicans, who
naa Deen able to wrest the majority
from the monarchists.
Jules Grevy followed Marshall "Mac-
Mahon. acquiring power by his ener
getic fight against the latter's admin-
Istraiion. He alone of all the nine
presidents was re-elected. After serv
ing two years of his second term,
however, he was compelled to retire
because he refused to abandon his
son-in-law. Daniel Wilson, a promi
nent deputy, who was accused of traf
ficking in decorations of the Legion
of Honor, ind using the Elysee palace
as an agency for his corrupt practices.
: An assassin's poniard removed the
next of the presidents of France after
he had come near to the end of his
term. M. Sadi Carnot, while amend
ing: the exposition at Lyons in 1894,
was struck down by the Italian an
archist. Santo Caserio, because of a
vague reference to parliamentary op
position to radicalism made in a mes
sage he sent to the parliamentary
body.

of his administration.
The fact that Presidents Grevy,
Carnot. Perler and Faure served as
presidents of the chamber of deputies
and that Presidents Loubet and Fal
lieres were presidents of the senate
has created a precedent favoring the
elevation of the presiding officers of
the two bodies to the chief magis
tracy. President Poincare. the In
cumbent, broke this precedent seven
years ago, but established another
which favors taking the president
from the cabinet, of which he was a
member, and would redound to the
profit of Premier Clemenceau. who
was one of the strongest opponents

the hair and scalp .thoroughly. The
