REVISION OF WAR
TAX LAWS TO BE
S
UNDERTAKEN
0
By Herbert W. Walker.
Vnltrri PrritK Stuff CorrcHiiondont
Washington, March 9 A complete
revision of the burdensome war tax
law will be undertaken as one of the
first major tasks of the special ses
sion of congress, it appeared certain
today as the reult of President Hard
ing's first conference with senate and
bo WW iitdes rml deToioptmrat
fii aweordanes with the announced
policy of Harding, that domestic af
fairs are of pressing importance in
congressional program, it was learn
ed that the president, while not yet
having definitely committed himself,
is inclined to elieve that modification
of taxes should puceed a general re
vision of the tariff.
A canvass of the senate finance and
. the house ways and means committee
is being made today in accordance
with Harding's wishes to determine
which shall be the first task of the
mew congress, but it is known that
majorities of both committees favor
first action on the taxation question.
Among those who are known to hold
this view are Senators Penrose and
Lodge, and Representatives Long
worth, Mondell, Bacharach, Tread
way and Good.
It is generally admitted that no big
reduction in the amount to be raised
by taxation can be made. The total
will have to be close to ?4,000,000,000
for the next year at least, and the
present laws, because of the recent
shrinkage in profits, will not convert
much more than that into the treas
ury. But the plan is to modify the
war taxes.
In accordance with this policy it is
certain that the excess profits and
the petty consumption taxes will be
eliminated. As one substitute a tax
on the net profits of corporations is
being given consideration. The pro
posals call for from a 10 to 20 per
cent levy.

GRAND TOMORROW
"Broadway and Home" is the title
of Eugene O'Brien's new Selznick Pic
ture at the Grand tomorrow.
Mr. O'Brien is most acceptably
cast in the role of Michael Strange, a
rugetd ywung man living in a small
fishing hamlat on the coast of Maine.
He is an ambitious youth and the
monotony of his existence is bearing
heavily upon him. Paul Grayson, a
wealthy afist and friend of Michael's
father, offers him a home in New
York, and tells Michael he will show
him some real life. He does, with a
vengance, and with some unexpected
results.
Of course, there is a girl concerned,
or rather, two of them, and after see
ing Eliatw fair and Eileen Cassidy
jkortrajr jwitg w tunes in question,
the observer will no doubt sympathize
with Michael Strange in his efforts
to decide upon which one to center his
affections.
There are some most dramatic mo
ments in this John Lynch story, and
Mr. O'Brien is more than equal to the
occasion in each instance. - Frank
Losee, who plays the artist offers an
other of his always excellent charac
terizations and the balance of the
cast under the direction of Alan Cros
land are adequate in every respect.

Useless Calls For
"Information"
Our records here show
that of the thousands of
questions answered by
Information operators every year, almost
half are for numbers already listed in the
telephone directory.
The Information operators waste hours
'daily in looking up and giving out these
numbers. 1
These wasted hours affect operating ef
ficiency on regular calls, cause congestion
of th lines and increase the already heavy
foad on the switchboards.
You can help your service by looking
first fri the directory to be sure it is not listed
before calling "Information."
The Information operators are always
ready to give numbers of new subscribers
and other changes not listed in the directory.
