PROPOSE NEW
REVENUE AND
TARIFF LAWS
WASHINGTON, Not. 19. —Complete
tewksion of the revenue and tariff laws,
BAof the most difficult problems ahead
or Congress, probably will not be accom
plished until several months after Presi
dent-elect Harding takes office, the ma
jority of Congressmen who have re
turned to Washington believe.
The Question Republican leaders must
Settle when Congress reconvenes Pec. 6,
Is whether business depression calls for
imendments to relieve soma of the war
tax hardens or whether nothing should
be done antll a complete tax revision can
be made. A conference of the Senate
Finance and the House Ways and Means
Committees probably will be held during
the first few days of the session to de
cide. Senator Penrose, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, has taken the
position thst no amendments should be
made nntll the entire revenue and tariff
system* are revised.
The demand for tome amendatory
action of the revenue laws Is growing
stronger, however. Otherwise. It Is polnt
,ed out, little relief from some taxes that
are considered burdensome could be iiad
until next April or May.
Because of the present business condi
tions, finance leader* here are being
asked for deferment of the Ineome and
axeesa profits tax payments due Dec. 15.
; These taxes are on large profits made
goring the calendar year 1919.
'SPiother demand already appearing will
b# for repeal of the taxes on ice cream,
•oda water and theater admissions, which
probably affect a greater number of peo
!• directly than any other.
Simplification of the excess profits and
Income tax returns also will be asked.
A auggegstion advanced by Senator
Hoke Smith. Georgia. Is that the secre
tary of the Treasury determine what
part of future tsx payments are for re
tirement of Government bonds and then
allow the taxpayers to pay that percent
age of hia tax In Liberty bonds at par.
An emergency tariff measure suggested
by some returning Congressmen Is an
anti-dumping bill. The claim Is made
that withs tariff In prospect under the
new Republican Administration the coun
try would be flooded with the products of
cheap foreign labor to be stored in the
hope that their value would rise when the
new tariff becomes effective.

Woman in Business
Can Achieve Success
With Few Good Rules
Secretary of Trust Company
Advises Cultivating Pleas
ing Personality.
“Cultivate a pleasing personality, If
you want to have a chance at making a
success In business,” Is the advice of
Miss Do Wave I. Payne, secretary of the
Aetna Trust Company. Miss Payne
modestly disclaims any ability on her
part which gave her her position, al
though 'her rise in the two years she
has been connected with the Trust Com
pany has been remarkable.
Miss Payne came to the Aetna Trust
Company, after six years' work In In
surance business, as supervisor of the
safety deposit department.
“I knew absolutely nothing about
banking,” she said, laughing, “not to
Imply that I know much now.
“I owe my advancement In a certain
sense to chance. The secretary was sick
and It happened that I was the one who
seemed to know the next most about
his Job.”
In discussing her qualifications for her
“job” Miss Payne declared If a person
comes to an institution like the Aetna
tf-ust and Just sits In his little box be
will continue to sit there all bis life.
“You’ve got to poke around and learn
a little bit about everything If you ever
want to advance," she said. "When I
had charge Os the safety deposit vault
I just could not bear to stay back there
and not learn anything. I began to
look aronnd and see whst this person
and that was doing. I tried to learn
more about the business of the bank
and the duties of each of the employes.
I studied the customers and figured out
what seemed to me to be the best way
of handling each. Indeed, the Job of the
secretary is one of coming In contact
with people and smoothing over rough
edges for them."
In discussing the success of women In
any lice Miss Payne emphasized the
necessity of either having or cultivating
a pleasing personality.
“You will find that t>y being pleasant
you can often smooth over some error
which otherwise might cost yon not
only criticism bnt also your Job," she
said.
In Miss Payne's code of success Is an
other rule which she thinks should be
adhered to by every person who seeks
success; namely, never to think that you
have gone as far as yon can.
"There is always something ahead, and
you have never reached the peak of your
achievements," the declared. “If you
will just look aronnd yon can be aure
you wl.l find plenty of things to learn."

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1920.
Several clashes occurred between coun
sel for the commission and attorneys for
the defendants, during the hearing, and
It was necessary several times for the
court to call order. When asked by At
torney Noel If the companies usod re
ports to the coal trade bureau in fixing
prices, a storm of protest arose from the
respondents' attorneys.
After order had been restored by Chair
man Eschbach, the witness replied he
had nothing to do with the policy of
the company, and could not answer the
queation. It was said attorneys for the
three companies frequently attempted to
answer questions for the witnesses.
In a sheet showing coat of operation
of the Vigo Mining Company, submitted
by Homer A. Wilson, auditor. It was
found allowances for Interest on bonds
of the company and Interest on bonds
and funds for ths sinking fund of the
Monon Coal Company had been made.
Attorney Noel asked Mr. Wilson whether
he would have included these items had
he not boen making the cost sheet under
Instructions.
This question brought another storm of
protest from the respondents’ attorney*.
“You seem to be getting on delicate
ground now," said Mr. Eschbach, “and
you don’t want any publicity on these
matters."
On instruction from Chairman Esch
bach to answer the question, the witness
admitted he would not have Included
these items in a cost sheet showing the
actual cost of production.
The defendant companies declared that
since their contracts were made before
the price-fixing orders of the commission
were issued, there had been no violation
of the law by them. Attorney Noel, how
ever, took the position that ‘Re orders
of the commission abrogated all existing
contracts and that any sales of coal at
prices in excess of those fixed by the
commission constituted a violation of the
‘Tt was intimated by the companies' at
torney. that they would
coal at their contract price the de
c'sion of the commission Is given. _
