TAXES TO REMAIN
HIGH FOR 10 YEARS,
CAPPER DECLARES
Half-Billion Deficit Calls
For New Sources,
He Says.
INCOME SHRINKING
Strict Economy Will Only
Partly Solve Problem,
Says Senator.
1. Slight prospect is seen by Senator
Capper of Kansas, head of the Sen
ate farm bloc, for any marked re
ductions In governmental taxes and
expenditures in the next ten years.
He enumerates among the compara
tively small ltem9 which can be
eliminated such things as the distri
bution of free seeds by members of
Congress, the construction of new
public buildings and river and har
bor improvements.
? "It mat be necessary to Invent
Tiew taxes to meet the government's .
expense account, and a half billion '
dollar deficit in revenue In the fiscal !
_year beginning July l." said Senator
-Capper.
? War Bond* Coming Dae.
"Several billions of war obliga
tions are coming due this year, in
?eluding $125,000,000 of accumulated {
--Interest on war savings stamps. 1
Much, If not all, of this huge amount I
will have to be refunded. Even I
then. Secretary Mellon says, the
government will lack $500,000,000 of I
meeting expenses for the year.
"By lopping off $1,500,000,000 of
_ expenditures?a world record in
-economy?the Harding administra
tion has brouarht us through the fis
cal year ended June 30 without a ,
deficit and with a few millions to
spare. But on this reduced scale of j
national living expenditures for the
fiscal year beginning July 1 will ex- i
<*eed the government's income by |
$500,000,000. because Federal rev- i
enues are shrinking.
"As calculated by Secretary Mel- I
Ion. all the government's sources of
Income for the year will not exceed
$3,238,000,000, and expenditures will
reach $3,657,000,000. This shows an
outgo exceeding Income by $359,000.
000. to which must he added the
$125,000,000 Interest due on war
savings stamps January 1, 1923.
Costs 91A.OOO.OOO Dally.
"It still costs more than $10,000,
000 a day to run the government,
not including the cost of free seeds."
said the Senator. **I used to think
an era of high taxes for Americans
would be a blessing in disguise. !
T^iat was before the war. I believed
high taxes would quicken the com
ing of business-like administration
of public affairs, local, state and na
tional.
?The war has since brought the !
high taxes, and with them the most j
urgent need of economic and effi
cient management in government i
this country has ever known. But
we are not getting results from its :
lessons In economics when Congress I
unhesitatingly adds twenty- four |

TREATY APPROVAL

AT JULY 4TH FETE
Complete Silence on Pacts
At Dinner to Denby's
Party by Premier.
TOKYO. July 4.?The feature of
the Fourth of July celebration in
Tokyo today turned out to be nega
tive. The Imperial sanction to the
Washington conrerences treaties
which was expected and which
Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs
Hanihara told Secretary of the
Navy Denby probably would be
given today, failed to come.
There was complete silence re
garding the treaties during the
speeches of Premier Kato, Mr. Den
by and Senator Weller at the
Premier's luncheon at which the
first formal welcome was given the
American visitors. Just before the
luncheon there was a meeting of
the Cabinet and advisory council
after which, rumors say. something
happened to prevent complete ratl
! fication today. Further it was re
ported that while sanction is cer
tain it will be delayed until the
return of Prince Regent Hlrohito
from his tour of Northern Japan.
Premier Kato in welcoming the
American visitors recalled the
friendliness shown him in America
during his recent visit whicfc ha
said made the task of the confer
ence easier. He spoke eulogistical
ly of America, stating he-<elt It a
high honor to be able to express a
welcome to the distinguished Amer
icans on Independence day. Then
Ambassador Warren proposed the
health of the Japanese Emperor.
Mr. Denby said: 'To you, per
sonally. Baron Kato, all Americans
are indebted for the great work at
Washington where your assistance

McCarthy picked up the bandits'

in last month when the trio was
again in New York he decided on
a hold stroke.
He struck up an acquaintance
with the trio, boasted of a record
of banditry in the West, joined
them in a merry whirl of shows,
cabarets and nearby resorts, to
which they motored in "Count"

for their arrest yesterday in the

CLOTURE ON TARIFF
DEBATE IN SENATE

The weary North Dakotan. who

on the measure that marked the
climax of his political career.
I doesn't know whether to attempt
; the "gag" rule or not. During the
long hours of discussion, h? has
! seen the Senate attendance dwindle
from a mere quorum to the point
where he was virtually alone, ex
plaining to the galleries the sched
ules of the bill. Monday he wit
nessed an early adjournment be
cause it appeared a physical im
possibility to maintain sufficient
listeners to constitute a quorum.

fences he spent twenty-four years
building. While occupying the

the administration has. the politi
cal ground was removed from under
1 his feet, because, he feels, he was
unable to get back home to tell
his own constituents what he was
doing for thera.
He has a petition which will
make it possible for him to move
to limit debate on the tarlfT. He
would like to end discussion of it,
or at least speed such discussion so
that other Republican Senators
would at least share his attention
to it.
"I Will discuss the question with
some of the Senators Wednesday."
he said last night. "I don't know
yet what I will do."
Administration leaders doubt
whether the necessary two-thirds
vote for imposing cloture csn be
obtained. The Democrats would
probably oppose it to a man.

Alleged Frauds.
KING FOR HARDING
Says Sale of Alien Patents
Was Fraudulent and
Illegal.
The ante-war fraud move of
President Hardin* and Attorney
General Daugherty against the
Chemical Foundation, 'organised by
leaders of the Wilson administra
tion, will be dragged not only
through the courts but all over the
floors of Congress.
And, if Allen Property Custodian
Miller actg promptly in seeking to
force return of the German patents,
copyrights, etc., held by the Founda
tion. as he has said he would, the
battle around this outstanding is
sue may be raging simultaneously
in the courts and in the Senate.
Immediately after the Senate con
cludes work on the agricultural
tariffs now under discussion it will
take up dye schedules, and debate
on the latter, both Democrats and
Republicans have announced, will
Involve the Chemical Foundation
and will lift the lid agatiT'on the
smouldering charges that a dye
lobby is at work in the legislative
halls of the nation.
Kisf Backs President.
The 8enate debate will reveal
strange bed-fellows. For example.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah,
says he will strongly support the
President's action against the
Foundation, declaring "the very
men who seised the patents con
spired to buy them. They spent
$600,000 in propaganda. The sale
was fraudulent, illegal and im
moral."
It is noteworthy that those who
have promptly come to the defense
of the Chemical Foundation have
charged that the move is one
strongly in the interests of Ger
many. And the bitter fight In Con
gress against continuing the pres
ent embargo on German dyes prom
ises to have its counterpart in the
expected effort to keep German
dyes off the high levy list when j
the chemical schedules are reached.
The flght against continuation of]
the German dye embargo has been 1
led by Senator Moses, of New J
Hampshire. New England textile j
industries need these dyes. It has 1
been claimed, and the American |
monopoly on the product, effected
through continuanoe of the em- |
bargo. has worked against their
best interests, it has been said.
Sospecti Genaai I at erect a.
Friends of Francis P. Garvan,
president of the Chemical Founda
tion. profess to see a direct con
nection between the flght against
the dye embargo, the flght on the
Foundation for return of its Ger
man patents, including dye patents. |
and recent visitations here of Ger
mans and Americans Interested in j
the German dye monopoly.
From this it would seem certain |
that the counter-attack of Garvan. i
former Attorney General Palmer and j
others concerned in the administra- I
tion move to get back former Ger
man property now held by the Foun- I
dation will involve these alleged Ger
man interests.
Representative Woodruff. Repub
lican. Michigan, whose constant de- j
mand for an Investigation of the At- j
j torney General's office probably is re j
sponsible more than any single thing
for the present move against the
Foundation, intimated yesterday that
all the hubbub over dyes was merely
a cover for other equally important
activities of the Foun<*itfon.
Criticises Propaganda.
"Of the several thousand patents
disposed of by Alien Property Cus
todian Garvan to the Chemical Foun
dation. Inc.." Woodruff said, "there
were hundreds which in no way bore
any relation to dye manufacture It
is noteworthy that the propagandists,
sent out to create public sentiment for
the Foundation. In order to protect
the Infant dye industry of America,
carefully refrained from making pub
lic this fact."
In replying to statements by Oarvan
and others Interested in the Founda
tion that it was not a profit-making
institution, and. in fact, was "broke,"
Woodruff said:
"It is true that profits of stockhold
ers of the Foundation are limited
in so far as their holdings of the com
pany stock are concerned. But the
fact is there is practically no llmt to
the toll of profits they can exact by
letting out to themseelvs. as privi
leged purchasers, the exclusive rights
to manufacture the various patented
articles or to use the formulas.
"The stockholders, for the most
part, are composed of the DuPonts
snd other great moneyed interests.
The board of directors passes on the
eligibility of any prospective stock
holder and if he i? not acceptable to
a great majority of the insiders he
doesn't get in. Consequently the
whole proposition is effectively tied

| Brotherhoods Will Not Aid
Railroads in Strike
PITTSBURGH, July 4.?Despite
the fact that they are urging the
observance of "strict neutrality" in
the railroad shopmen's strike by
engine and train service men. of
ficials of the brotherhoods here do
not hesitate to admit their fear
that the present strike will engulf
all railroaders.
On top of their own grievances,
which are based on lowered wages,
engine and train service men have
been requested by railroad officials
to do the work the shopmen for
merly did. such as testing and air
coupling and making light repairs
to locomotives and car terminals.
Requests of engine and train '
crews on their brotherhood officials
for instructions have brought the 1
folowing responses: \
"Be very careful not to assist the j
company or permit members to be i
used to defeat the strikers.
"Our membership (conductors) 1
wil not do work formerly performed
by strikers."
To locomotive engineers the fol
lowing has gone out:
"Under no circumstances will you
do the work or take the place of i
strikers."
This terse order Is given loco
motive firemen and englnemen: I
"Continue to perform usual duties
?no more, no less."
Brotherhood officials fear the clash |
! of "hot heads and some superintend- |
ent which may mean dragging the
brotherhood into the strike."
Says Rail Strike Will Be
Felt Here in Few Days
"The next few days will begin I
to show the effect of the strike on i
the railroad#.'* declared William'
H. Johnston, president of the In
ternational Association of Machln
lsts. late last night. "Our posi
tion Is even stronger than we had
hoped. There are very few roads |
that have surplus engines at th??
present time."
There are between 75.000 and!
80.000 machinists out on strike, ac-1
cording to Johnston. Me said this'
means that the strike Is 88 per cent
?effective In the machinists' union.
Charles Frazler. business mana
ger of the union, stated last night
that there was no Important change
In the situation either locally or
nationally. "The few men the
railroads are able to keep In the
shops are practically useless." he
said.
Trains were running practically!

gress of Mothers yesterday.
Two reasons were given by mothers
for believing that the Commissioners'
Investigating committee would be un

children are treated by foster-parents.

upon the physical condition of the
homes.

homes are moderately well adapted
from a physical standpoint. However,
it Is asserted, this dees not take into
| consideration such phases as cruelty,
obscene language, improper food and
immoral surroundings
