AMENDMENTS TO TAX REFORM BILL TO BUFFERED Tax Commissioners Agree to 1 "Cast Out 75 Percent Deduction on Entangible Property INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 4. Important amendments to the tax reform bill now pending In the legislature will be of- ' fered by Judiciary A committee of the house when it submits a report on the measure, probably today. It was understood last night that an agreement had been reached on all Important phases of the bill and It is not unlikely that the committee will be ready to otter Us report to the house this morning. Members ot the state board ot tax commissioners, recognising the storm ot opposition raised by some ot the radical departures proposed In the bill, hare told members ot the committee that It will be. agreeable to them ft the proYlslen for a 75 percent deduction on Intangible property Is cast out. The tax commissioners hare agreed also that the bill will stand a better chance ot passage if the assessment date Is not changed from March 1 to Jan. 1. The section ot the bill making Jan. 1 the assessment date brought a state-wide protest from farmers, who pointed out that In many Instances their entire crops of the preceding year are In bins at that time, and they would be compelled to return large amounts of grain and lire stock for taxation which In the ordinary course of events they sell before the present assessment date- on March 1. Exemption of Municipal Bonds. The committee will report also In favor of the retention of the, present law exempting municipal and highway bonds from taxation. The "Immunity bath" provision of the bill, by which evaders would escape prosecution or collection for all acts prior to the passage of the bill, will be omitted. The sections relating ' to stock of foreign corporations also will be changed to enable such corporations to deduct fro mtheir assessable totals the amount of their tangible' property In the state. This change Is made to meet the objection that assessment both of tangible property and the corporate stock apportioned to the state would be double taxation. The sections relating to the state boards' assessment of public utilltes will be revised to provide more definitely for a separation, for taxation purposes, of property owned In this state from that .- situated In other states. . The bill to be reported will contain . the codification of taxation statutes, ' as drawn by the state board and em- , bodied in the original measure. Fea- ; tures strengthening the state board's . rower of control of local taxing officials will be retained, as well as the sections relating to limitation of levy and assessment totals.

Lieut. George B. Hunt Operating U. S. Railroad Line in France

Lieut. George B. Hunt, a member of the 4th Battalion, 21st Engineers, operating a railroad In France, writes In a letter to Linus Meredith, that he was fortunate in being assigned with this unit as soon as he arrived in France, and was sent lmmedately to the front, where he took part in the drive at St. Mlhlel, and is now connected with the army of occupation. . "We did not have to go back and do six to twelve weeks in the training areas as the combatant troops were required to do before being sent to the front," he writes. "We went immediately to the front and operated narrow gauge railroads until the signing of the armistice; first being a part of the American army in the St. Mihiel drive. "Our boys put on some show here as you know. They took 16,000 prisoners In the first 24 hours (with only 7,000 American casualties) and completely obliterated the St Mihiel salient in' three days. The Frenchmen were strong for us after that, as this was the first show our boys had put on alone. , "Mon Sec was one of the 6trong positions to the east of St. Mihiel. This point fell within the first 24 hours of the drive and you should have seen the amount of material captured at this point. Fritz had held Mon Sec since early in the war, during which time it had been wonderfully fortified. The French lost 40,000 men In three days trying to take it. The country which Fritz held had quite an elevation from which he commanded the surrounding country. He also had a narrow gauge railroad running into the side of the mountain to bring up supplies. Tunnels ran from one end of the railroad to the other. Large rooms had been excavated in the side of . the mountain and thousands of officers and troops were quartered there. An electric lighting system, heating plant, telephone system with large switch board, and hospitals all located in a mountain 150 and 200 feet under ground. The Crown Prince had a suite of rooms here, with his name over the door., However, he must have left rather hurriedly when he did, for a good deal of furniture was left about the place, which afterward decorated our officer's quarters. "After cleaning up the salvage which our boys had captured, our battalion (the 4th) was transferred over into the Second Army and then began hauling ammunition and rations to the front for the second army which was getting ready to put up a little show and capture Metz. As you know this show only got to run for about twelve hours as Fritz threw up his hands at 11-11-11 and the curtain dropped "fin," as the French say. The 21st engineers are the largest railroad organization that America has with the expeditionary forces. It consists of 14 companies and 3,600 hauling men. The regiment is now located at Conflans, a railroad center, 15 miles northwest of Metz. It takes 450 men to operate the railroad shop here. We are operating a standard gage railroad to Metz, Brlery-Toul-Nancy-Montmeddy and on over to the Grafton Returns to New Orleans for Year An interesting article concerning the return of Robert Grafton to New Orleans for the winter, appeared in the New Orleans Item on January 29. Mr. Grafton who is exhibiting two of his painting in the Indiana Exhibit now being held In the public art gallery, was In New Orleans two years ago and painted many pictures which have recently been on display In the Thurber Art Galleries In Chicago, many of which were sold. He is settled in New Orleans for the winter to execute some commissions. Mr. Grafton is very much Interested In an art colony which has been proposed in New Orleans.

The health of the men has been good only a very few cases of "flu" and those not severe. "I have my medical corps and dispensary located here in a German Chateau which was occupied by the German staff officers when they had control of this section. "Things are pretty dull here for the boys since the signing of the armistice as there is no more excitement. A number of the boys have begun to get rather homesick. We are expecting the French to take over the road soon, and then it will be good old U. S. A. for us. "Say, there is good hunting and fishing over here. "Give the boys at the club my regards."

Home-Cured Meats By GRACE E. HADLEY, Home Demonstration Agent. Butchering time is at hand on the Indiana farms. Home-cured country hams, broiled, fried or baked. Is there any thing more delicious? It is to be regretted that the home curing of meats is becoming a lost art; however, a movement has been started to revive this practice, for the cheapest meat a farmer can use is the product of his own farm. This is also true of the suburban farmer, who fattens one or two hogs on kitchen and truck garden waste. Home cured meats when well cured ar& superior to the packing house products; they have the home flavor which the commercial firms cannot give, and then they can be produced for much less than the cost of purchased meat. The home canning of meats, too, has proven most successfulful so that fresh meats may be on the farms at all seasons, and all parts of the animal saved that are not suitable for curing. Meat should never be frozen either prior to or during the period of cur ing. The proper time to begin curing nam is when the meat is cooled and still fresh. Twenty-four to thlrty-slx hours after killing is the opportune time. Salt, saltpeter, sugar and molases are the principle preservatives used in curing pork. Salt, when applied alone to meat, makes it very hard and dry, because its action draws out the meat juices and hardens the fibers. Saltpeter is used to preserve the natural color of the meat but should be used sparingly. Sugar and molasses soften the muscle fibers and Improve the flavor of the meat, hence the combination of salt and sugar make a good cure. Brine-Cured Pork. For each hundred pounds of meat use eight pounds of salt, two and onehalf pounds or sugar or sirup, two ounces of saltpeter, and four gallons of water. In warm weather nine or ten pounds of salt are preferable. Allow four days' cure for each pound in a ham or shoulder and three days for bacon and small pieces. The brine should be made the day before it is to be used, so that it will be cool. All the Ingredients are poured Into the water and boiled until thoroughly mixed. Place large pieces in bottom of container, small cuts on top, pour in the bnne and be sure it covers the meat thoroughly. In five days pour off the brine and change the arrangement of the meat, then pour back the bnne. Repeat this operation again on the tenth and eighteenth days.

International People's House of

Representatives ' (By Associated Press) PARIS, Feb. 4. Charles J. Doherty, Canadian minister of justice, who has proposed to ; the peace conference that an international people's house of representatives be established, said today In discussing the subject: "Prevention of war is not the con cern of governmental power alone. It Is in the interest of humanity itself. A sovereign state Is not organized with a view to exerting any restraining Influence over its own action toward other states. If war is to be prevented, or its likelihood diminished, success can be attained only by the existence some where, if not power that will control at least Influence which will restrain the absolute sovereignity states In dealings with each other. "Whence is that power or Influence to be de rived if not from the peoples inhab iting the different states, whose every interest demands the suppres sion of war? The weak point in all plans so far discussed Is that action of states is to be controlled, restrain ed or Influenced in conferences of those states themselves, to the ex clusion of other peoples who are to be affected by the decisions reached. It must be remembered that it is not merely the peoples of states imme diately concerned who are affected by war, but all mankind." "The experience of the present war has brought all thinking people to see that intracite development and commercial and financial reaction have given to peoples of all nations 'common life.' A war between any two great powers necessarily dislocates that commercial life, with recurlts disastrous to all. It is therefore a practical question how the league may be constituted in which the voice of that great body of peoples may oe effectively heard and its influence effectively exercised. "How can the world be made safe for democracy more surely than by entrusting a share in the future guardianship of safety, purchased at so great a price, to a body representative of the world's democracy the members of which have been selected by that democracy? Inclusinon in the league or body in which the world's people would act through their representatives democratically elected, for that purpose, by popular vote, would not prejudicially affect the powers to be exercised by the states under any other plans proposed. Moreover, within the body Itself each state under any other plans proposed. Moreover, within the body itself each state would find legitimate protection in adequate representation therein of its own people. "If the plan is adopted we can, as has been said, look forward to a system of international relations maintained by an aggregate of popular force, uniformly intolerant of any attempt to substitute an appeal to the BACKACHE, LUMBAGO AND RHEUMATIC PAINS VANISHOVERNIGHT 20th Century Liniment Always Ready.

"The most important function of the suggested representative body would be to exercise in times of peace constant Influence upon states in their relations with each other, tending to keep them from differences which give rise to conflict and make war imminent.
