NEW YORK, Sept. 19. The cot

decline of last week. Offerings were
much smaller and reports that hold
ings of spot cotton in the south had
shown a tendency to withdraw their
offerings on the decline, seemed to
revive confidence in values on the
basis of small crop figures. The
price of January contracts advanced
to 19.80 or $7 per bale above the

Oscar W. Bruchman, local

$415 worth of business was

Why? Because of the pulling

"The results for these two

Results. That's what the ad

WASHINGTON. D. C, Sept. 19.
The tax revision bill will be sent to
the president by late in -October,
Chairman Penrose predicted today in
announcing that the senate finance
committee had formally approved
the house measure as amended.
Neither the Smoot manufacturers'
sales tax nor the Calder proposal to
impose a tax of $6.40 a gallon on all
alcoholic liquors withdrawn from
bend for other than manufacturing
purposes will be included in the
measure as it will be presented to
the senate Wednesday. The authors
have given notice, however, that they
expect to present these amendments
in the senate.
Senator Penrose said that it was
planned to take the bill up immed
iately and ask for final action. H'c
added that some features, particular
ly the excess profits tax repeal and
the proposed reduction of the maxi
mum income surtax . to 32 per cent,
would be opposed "from certain
quarters" but there seemed to be a
desire to expedite passage.
What It Will Bring
While treasury experts have yet to
complete their final estimates as to
the total revenue that probably will
be realized this year under the meas
ure, it was stated that the amount
would not be less than $3,200,000,000.'

informed the committee would be;
necessary, ror the next fiscal yearj
it is estimated, roughly the return
would be around $2,700,000,000.
Two More Changes
Before finally approving the bill,
the committee voted two additional
changes.
Under one, amusement admission
charges not . exceeding 10 cents
'would be exempt from the one cent
tax proposed by the present law.
Under the other, hotels would pay a
tax of 10 per cent on the amounts
charged to transients for rooms if
the sum exceeds $5 for one person
and $8 for two persons.

Any talk of the early resumption

of eight or nine hundred million

DEFENDANT AT WAGE
SUIT APPEALS CASE
Whether N. A. Hall, defendant in
a suit to collect auegea unpaid
wages, owes H. B. Moisa the sum of
$154.52, will be determined in the su
perior court here, following appeal
from two decisions in the justice
court at Clarkdale, favoring the plain
tiff. Hall yesterday, through his at
torney. H. M. Gibbes, filed the ap
peal in the superior court. Justice
D. L. Robinson twice heard the case
at Clarkdale. giving judgment in full
amount in favor of the complainant
on August 16.
Moisa in his complaint alleges that
Hall employed him to work on his.
Hall's ranch, about January 1 last,
at a monthly wage of $yo. and that
the defendant refused to pay accrued
wages due him. and still so refuses.
He asks for judgment in the full
amount in addition to attorney's
fees. Moisa is represented by J. H.
Rutherford of Jerome.
a lowering ot prices, tor consumers
would simply withdraw from the
market and allow another surplus to
accumulate.
A parallel to the copper situation
was lound by Staunton in the
changed conditions of the cotton
market. Estimated underproduction
in the south has caused cotton quo
tations to rise approximately seven
cents during the past week, with the
result that the market is stimulated,
and such cotton as is grown can be
sold at a reasonably profitable figure.
When a similar condition obtains in
the copper market, he said, it will be
time enough to talk of the resump
tion of production.
