Washington, Aug. 13. A larger
Bhare ot the taxos under tlio revenue
revision system of the administration
Mill fall on those wCio are the moat
ulilo to pay, according to a state
nient which wag Issued at the White
House today In which the position
of President Harding was defended
against criticism from various quur
tors.
There has boon no effort to ro
duce only tho taxes of tho rich, It
In Insisted. On the contrary, tho ad
ministration is bent, on seeing that
every class bears Its proportional
sharo of taxes and that frauds and
evasions under the existing laws be
ouado Impossible, tho White House
statement said.
It Is understood that tho revision
of the lovy soctlons of tho 1918 tax
law is (practically complete. Th
houso ways and means committee
voted late Friday to increase from
$2,000 to $2G00 the exemption al
lowed married men having yearly In
comos of $."4)00 or less. This Is In
addition to the Increase of 200 In the
exemption for each dopendent mem
ber of tho family and would be re
troactive to Janpary 1, 1921.
Arrangements also were reached,
It was said, to decrease the manufac
turers' tax on candy from 5 to 3 per
cent, tho manufacturers' tax on furs
from 10 to 5 percent, the tax on art
works from 10 to 5 percent, and to
repeal all of the socalled luxury
levies, including those on carpets,
ruga, trunks, traveling cases, pocket
books, umbrellas and portable ligfit
ing fixtures, as woll as those or
wearing apparel.
Tho majority Inombeis of the waye
mid means commlttoe besidos cliang
Ing levies as outlined above, wore
said to have agreed not to Tncreasr
the taxes on cigarettes, cigars and
tobacco and alcoholic beverages. It
also was stated that in reducing the
Income surtax rates to a maxlmurr
of 32 percent from tho prosent 6?
porcont the committee bad madd nr
provision for a furthor reduction to 2"
percent next year as recommended fl
by Secretary Mellon.
In voting to repeal the luxury
taxos, tho majority members decide)1
to substitute if possible a manufac
turers' tax on the" same articles, If
designed to bo sold at sums In ex
cess of specified iprices. The rate
suggested was 3 per cent on the
manufacturers', prices and the return
.was estimated at $100,000,000 annually
as against $25,000,000 under lilie pres
ent laws. It was explained however,
that a provision of this nature would
be difficult to administer beca'usf
the prices of such goods were not
standardized and that It might be
necessary to abandon the plan.
Under present plans of republican
leaders, the conimitte draft of the"
completed bill, which -will be in the
form, of an amendment to the 191?
law, will be presented to a confer
ence of house - republicans at 1
o'clock Monday and Introduced Ir
the house later that day. Actual con
sideratlon of It there,1 however, 1
was said, would go over until Wed
nesday gfy opdejthat the measure
could bel(fonitay passed, upon Tues
day by the ways and means commit
tee "with the democratic members
present. 'i
While the question of a speciai
rule is to be decided by the party
conference, some leaders said they
expected the majority to adopt a
rule limiting general debate, fixing a
time for a vote and giving priority
to committee amendments. They re
garded final action by the house a
-week from Saturday as something
more than a probability, but it was
emphasjzed that this, wag inattfl

HE WAS ONCE RAIL PLAYER; SLATE

John T. Owsley this morning broke
lown and confessed that he was
jnco a ball player, a pitcher to ha
exact, of tho Tcxarkana Terrors. Ills
.-onfesslon was obtained in tha
Jfarch for. material being made C:eio
!iy tho Rotary club for the game
with the Norman Rotarians on Aug
ust 17, for tho benefit of tho child-
I'en's playground fund.
"I will admit" said John, "that I
was good. I had thought to keep tho
fact that I was a baseball star,
9ntlrely to myself, but Rotary calls
nd I must answer. I proved to bi
uch a 'whirlwind on the Toxarkatia
earn, that I was. finally barred,
jwlng to the fact tuat other teams
f tho.jtnte would not match games
; I pltchod. The fans Ju.st naturally
Itfrnandcd that I quit pitching, !
auso the Toxarkana (nam could K"t
to games and Texarkana was wit
toHsing no baseball.
While that has been several
years ago, I am certain that with
ittle effort I could stage a come
back to tho extent that I would
hove no trouble In routing the oppo
sition. I have consented to pllc'i
tho game next Wednesday for tlio
hlckasha club."
According to Clint C. Stuinlmrgcr,
nanagor ot the Cblckasha Rotary
team, tho great relief Is felt by the
ho club personnel over tlio an
nouncement that Mr. Owsley haa
consented to pitch the gam?. How
ovor, Mr. Steinborgor statos, practlco
will continuo right up to tho date
if till game and tho staff of pitchers
ilgnod ' by ' the club will contlnita
their dally workouts. They will bo
held in reserve for protection
should any accident befall Owsley.
A wireless message was sont to
day to Roy U. Jones, catcher, out
fielder and willow weildor, who is
way on a fishing trip in tho Khm
ischl mountains. In tho message,
Steinberger ordorod Jonea to report
to the club not later than August 13.
"Without Jones, our chances of
victory -would bo nil," said SStoinbor
gor. "He is a marvel on the paths
and his base running will be a b'g
factor in our offensive play."
The latest scandal In tho camp
ot tlbe local Rotarlans is that "But-
terfat" Hallowell Is a holdout. He
has demanded a substantial boost In
salary, but Steinberger is obstinate
and It is feared that the two will not
set together on the deal.
1 Steinberger returned today from
a mysterious trip and It is belioved
that he Was scouting for more ma
terial for his infield. In his absence,
Louie Hensloy, assistant manager,
put the Rotary squad through a stiff
workout last night. While he ap
peared, to, bo satisfied with the af
ternoon's work, he intimated 1 that
there might . be a shake-up in the
team before the Norman game.
Meanwhile, plans for the advance
ticket sale are going forward stead

SITUATION HERE
Cblckasha banks have not , ren
dered a definite and final decision
on the city proposal that they buy
$80,000 worth of the Grady County
Gas company's bonds which, it is
said, ' would assuro Chickasha of
natural gas tonveuiencos.
An answer from tho bankers is
expected not lated than Monday. It
is understood that all but ono bank
has ' passed favorably on the pro
posal and that the rejectors are re
considering the proposition.
Unless the banks agree to pur
chase the bonds, as required by tho
company, the acting mayor will not
caU an election to approve or ' dis
approve the franchise and the issue
will be a dead one.
Heads of the company estimate
that the installation of a natural gas
distributing Bystem in Chickasha
would cost approximately 259,000.
