May old Father Time long spare his holiday to mankind to gladden the hearts of all with its coming and may each Christmas be still merrier than the last.

PiECOMMENDS REVISION OF THE TAX LAWS

PRESIDENT WILSON IN MESSAGE TO CONGRESS, WHICH IS READ BY CLERKS, CONFINES HIMSELF TO DOMESTIC QUESTION

WASHINGTON, Dec 7.—Both Houses of Congress were in brief sesion today to hear President Wilson’s annual message. It was read by the clerk, Mr. Wilson having heeded the advice of his physician not to appear in person to present his recommen-

dations.

Galleries in both Senate and House were crowded. Both those drawn by the chance that the President might appear in person and those attracted by the possibility that his message might touch upon the League of j Nations question or his own approach ing retirement to private life were

ilisa) pointed.

Mr Wilson confined himself almost wholly to domestic questions. Only by inference did his message refer to the nearing close of his administration and that was in the concluding I aragraph. The proposals he pro- | sented the President wrote, were not j so much a series of recommendations | as a confession “of faith in which I I was bred and which it is my solemn j nurpose to stand bv until my last

I fighting day.”

< hief Rcrom nicnflutions ! The President’s chief recommenda-

: tinn follow' :

Tax law- revision with fimplificn- ! tion of income and profits taxes. Phillipino Independence. | A loan to Armenia Economy i n government appropriations and expenditures and creation of ] a “workable budget system.” I Cold storage and other laws affe-*.-ing the cost of living and the Federal licensing of corporations Rehabilitation and training of disabled soldiers and sailors. The president did not indorse a bonus. He did not refer to the league o • the peace treaty fight except I "rhaps by inference when he quoted Abraham Lincoln’s “Let us have faith that right makes might, and i n that faith let us (tare to do our duty as we

understand it.”

The House listened to the reading if the President’s message in silence until it was concluded, when toe Democrats arose and applauded There was some applause also from

the galleries.

The funeral of Fred Hansel, an old soldier who diej at his home 2 miles south of Putnamville Tuesday morning of Dropsey was held this morning at 11 o’clock. Burial was in Forest Hill Cemetery. Mr. Hansel was 82 years old.

In the Senate arrival of the White House messpnge- with an armful of communications including some 17 000 recess and other appointments and with the announcement, “Several messages in writing from the President,” caused laughter on the floor
