CALLED 'OLD JANE'
AVASIIIN'fJTON, Dfe. fl. (A. P.)
Hoth qutilififJd ft ml unqutiliricd jiraise
of. the new $325.(MM).00U tax reduction
bill was voiced today in the house
where ibe bill la undergoing the in
evitable period of debate prlur to the
lime for its actual passage.
The first 'criticism of consequence
came from Uepresemntlvo Ruiney, n
(U-mocrat member of the Ways and
means committee who, while approv
ing the bill,' in general assallftl the
increase in personal exemptions and
(he slash In the higher surtax rates.
His effort however, was met by
Represent Hi ive lln wley of Oregon,
another member of the committee
who described the measure as "t he
best ever offered to congress."
Air. Rainey, who voted for the bill
In committee, declared' he would nut
support it In' the house "unless ma
terially changed."
"What has happened In the last
two years," he asked, "to make us
out-Mellon the Mellon plan on sur
taxes?" t
lie also assailed the revised Inheri
tance irnt oh which he said made this
tax "useless."
The cut in surtaxes gives forty-two
men a reduction of (20,001), 000 Mr.
Rainey said,
"KHminntc Hie provision increasing
the exemptions ami put the surtax
maximum at 25 or 30 per oent," he
said, "and you can cut all the taxes
off admission, auto mold le and other
business. You can defeat this coali
tion which is so friendly to ihe rich."
Representative Mills of New Ynrlc,
another republican member ef the
ways and means, committee followed
Mr, Rainey with a general defense nf
the measure and a plea that it not be
amended in any material way.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., Dec. 9. (A.I
P.) Peace conferees attending" the
Illinois International Goodwill con
ference were recovering t his morning
from Ihe almost warlike encounter .
last night with Lieutenant ' Colonel
I'J. Ramos who drew cries of "throw t
him out," when he told a story of
Jane Addams, styling her "the old .
Jane." 1
Last night's session made the .con
ferees uncomfortable from the start
and when the story of "the old Jane",
startled them, several Chicago women i
openly demanded an apology ' and
several others left the room. Colonel
Rumcs refused to apologize. '
ile characterized 'peace and i dis
armament talk as ''foolish prattle,
asserting that "until the European
lion becomes n vegetarian, I do not
propose that my country shall play
the part of the lamb."
President Johri H. Walker of the
Illinois Federation df Labor, one of
the first speakers at this morning's
session, took issue with the colonel.
"There is Just as much reason- he
said, "for permitting, individuals who
have disputes to mUrder each ; oilier
over them as there is to 'permit
nations to murder each other ;when
there is a dispute between , them," ,
