House amendments to the revenue bill again fell under the pruning knifo of the senate finance com mittee today as the rate schedules were taken up. Rates in the present law on the produce exchange sales, drafts and promissory notes were voted back into the bH. The house ways and means committee had cut in halt the tax on sales on produce ex change of two cents for eachj100, which fit was estimated wosnd re duce revenue $4,000,000 annually, and repealed the .tax on draf ts and notes of two cents for each $100 which it was estimated would cost' the government $2,150,000 an nually in revenue. . While the committee renewed Its program of day and night ses sions in an effort to conclude this week, action on the other miscel laneous tax schedules, democrats on the committee agreed on a sur tax rate schedule which they pro pose as a substitute for the Mellon rates already voted into the bill by the senate. Schedule Withheld Senator Simmons of North Car olina, ranking i democrat on the committee, and author of the schedule predicted it would receive , almost unanimous support . from the democrats and sufficient re publican insurgent votes to prac tically assure its adoption., on the .floor. The schedule was withheld pending receipt of additional esti mates. Definite action on the major ex cise rates, most of which were re duced or repealed by the house, anad on the essate and gift taxes was delayed until after the hear ing of Secretary Mellon, who has been asked to present his views on these rates again to the com mittee tomorrow. With its action, today he commitee has eliminated virtually every important amerid ent to the bill made by the house in favor of the original recommen dations of Secretary Mellon. ; With a ; report on the bill in sight this week, the committee will make furtherptudy of estimates as to cost of he soldier bonus bill ( passed by he house. Senator Simmons said it was probable that the democrats would not attempt to have -the Income tax rate section reopened n com mittee and that they would present their plan for adoption on . the floor of the senate. v !pinr!i STILIMS mr u MlIlffTIGOE Match Goes Full Time Newspaper Decision Goes' r to School Boyi NEWARK N.

ARIm WORKS ID see T .Plans for the, budget raising ef fort of the Salvation army are being pushed and everything will be done to save all the expenditure in money as much as possible. It is hoped that there will be a gener ous response to tne appeals tnat will be- sent out. Ensign Hol- brook says that he has every con fidence that the people of Salem want to see the Salvation army supported in a way that will en able them to do the most efficient service. The Salvation army la appealed to first, as nearly everybody knows it, and in times past the service that has been rendered by the or ganization showed to the people that the army was' willing and ready to do all that it could to re lieve distress in any way. Ensign Holbrook claims to be a social worker i with experience, having met with all classes of hu manity, both ready and willing to extend any help that can be giv en. ,? In speaking of , the work of the Salvation army he says that people can hardly realize the .pre vention side of the uplift work. Not only does the Salvation army desire to , help the needy but It does the best that it can to keep people from being in the needy class. The ensign says that helping to raise this budget will not only let the' people feel that they are in the helper class but will also put them in the prevention class.
