(By Associated Press). RIGA, Aug. 13. Difficulties arose today in the negotiations begun here over the draft of an agreement guaranteeing protection of food supplies sent into Russia for famine relief. Maxim Litvlnoff, Soviet representa

tive, raised a number 'of objections both In principal and detail to the draft presente4 by Walter L. Brown, the American relief negotiator. PARIS, Aug. 13 The allied supreme council decided today that the international famine relief commission, which was agreed upon at Wednesday's session be composed of three delegates from each country represented in the council including the United States and Belgium. The commission will be unofficial in character and will colloborate with Herbert Hoover, head of the American relief commission and the International Red Cross In the Russian relief work. Ambassador Harvey told the supreme council he would communicate with Washington on the subject and that the American members of the

commission would be appointed as scon as possible. Urge Austrian Relief In a resolution adopted by the supreme council the congress of the United States is urged to act in aid of financial relief for Austria. The resolution expresses the desire of the council that the United States pass as soon as convenient, the measure in this connection that Ambassador Harvey informed the meeting was still pending, so that the Austrial financial relief plan, which is declared rfc have

been held up by American delay in waiving Austrian debt payments, may be put into operation. The allied nations are planning financial relief for Austria through a scheme one feature of which involves the suspension of claims against that ration for a period of twenty years. Paris dispatches in July reported authorization by the council of ambassadors of communication with . the United States with a view to securing its consent to withholding claims estimated at $24,000,000 against Austria. The pending American legislation alluded to in the foregoing dispatch apparently is the bill giving Secretary of the Treasury Mellon wide authority in the matter of refunding foreign loans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. The pro

posal of the house ways and means committee to eliminate the transportation tax as one of several methods of reducing the federal government tax revenue an estimated $350,000,000, is receiving the enthusiastic endorsement of Indiana business men. The business interests have been constantly emphasizing the fact that excessive transportation costs have been one of the greatest obstacles in bringing about an early revival of normal industrial and commercial activities. Urging the withdrawal of the1 transportation tax a Richmond manufacturer writes: "Railroads cannot reduce freight rates until freights begin to move more freely. Cut off this tax

and that movement will start." It is also argued that such action will bring about a direct cut in prices. Urge Rail Tax Repeal. Proposed tax reductions are to be retroactive for 1921. But there is to be no reduction in the tax on railroad traffic until 1922. It is then proposed to make a horizontal cut of one-half

and wait until 1923 to relieve trans

portation of the other half. There are many members of congress who are of the opinion that the first tax should be repealed is that on tailroad traffic.

The transportation tax. it is nointed

out, does not come from railroad income nor go to railroad revenues. It represents a very material increase in all freight and passenger rates which

etana now at the peak. Witnesses before the ways and means committee have testified that the fundamental requirement for a resumption of business lies in the re-

freight rates. Volume Needed. The argument is made that the rail

roads are the greatest employers of labor and the largest buyers of manufactured goods of a great variety; that their prosperity is the key to national prosperity. It has been asserted by railroad experts that the repeal of the transportation tax would go far to so increase traffic as to enable the railroads to reduce commodity freight rates. The point has been made that the transportation tax enters into the price of coal and has held back coal distribution; that it goes into the price of lumber and other materials and has been a factor in slowing up building operations; that it comes out of the farmer's price for all of his products and hampers agriculture.

Mafk Twain's Cousin Honored

(By Associated Press) LONDON, Aug. 13. Eamonn de Vatera's answer to proposals of the Brit

ish government relative to peace nego

tiations in Ireland was considered at a meeting of the British cabinet this meeting. Lord Fitz Alan, Gover

nor General of Ireland, and Sir Ha-

mar Greenwood, Chief Secretary for

Ireland, were understood to have been

called to participate in the delibe ations.

Closest secrecy was 6till maintained in official circles relative to the contents of the communication from the Irish republican leader, and some political writers today reiterated their belief that it was merely a step forward in the negotiations. They de

clared that the reply asked for explanations of the government's .proposals preparatory to the meeting of the Irish republican parliament next Tuesday. Sensational Reports - Sensational reports, however, appeared under bold headlines in some of this morning's newspapers. Some

of them were to the effect that the cabinet took a most serious view of Mr. de Valera's reply, regarding it as tantamount to a rejection of the British terms. It was noteworthy that these rumors were printed in newspapers which yes

terday reflected the belief that Mr. de

Valera s letter was favorable, and indicated his readiness to proceed witn the negotiations looking to a settlement. Giving details, these discruiet-

ing reports stated that Mr. de Valera

had demanded amaesty for all Irish republicans imprisoned or interned, numbering about 6,000 as a condition precedent to further negotiations. It 'was also 6tated he had asked monetary indemnity for the losses occasioned by the warfare in Ireland, which were estimated as amounting to some millions of pounds sterling. DUBLIN. Aug. 13. Optimism continues to pervade Sinn Fein circles today regarding the Irish peace proposals. It was re-emphasized that negotiations have not been broken off, an-1 that Premier Lloyd George's reply to the last letter from de Valera is not expected to mean a break.

"Taxation questions should be settled first of all." said K. T. Hall, of the Richmond Roller Mills, formerly manager of the Champion Mills. Friday. "So long as business and financial interests are uncertain what their taxes are to amount to, they do not feel that they can go ahead. "A reduction in wages is due -and will have to come before business improves much. Wages in some lines are holding up production and lessening business activity. "It is my personal belief that there is an actual shortage of many manufactured products in this country, steel products for instance, as compared with the possible demand, and I believe that If prices could be brought within the reach of the people, theie would be more demand and grater employment as a result. Lower wages would make this possible."

MADRID. Aug. 13. Former Premier

Antonio Maura today assumed th

premiership of the new Spanish cabinet which replaces that of Premier Allendesalazar, who resigned on Thursday. Premier Maura appointed Don Manuel Gonzalez Hontoria minister of foreign affairs, and Senor La Cierva minister of war. As soon a3 the cabinet is formed it is expected the Spanish parliament will be called for an immediate session for the purpose of passing a new

budget. Reports from Melilla, Morocco, where Moorish tribesmen have been carrying on an aggressive warfare against the Spanish and have brought about a situation which had its sequel in the fall of the Allendesalazar ministry would seem to indicate optimism on the part of the Spanish command. Tribesmen Desert It is asserted that the tribesman are deserting in large numbers, and that the bombardment of Spanish positions on Mount Arruit, where General Navarro and his troops were surrounded, was directed by Spanish prisoners who fired upon their comrades when threatened by the rebels. Negotiations for the liberation of

Spanish prisoners taken by the Moors

are proceeding. General Navarro'

freedom is especially sought, but the Moors are demanding a large sum for

his ransom. It is said that more than

3,000 soldiers have already been set

free by the Moors following the pay

ment of money by the Spaniards, but it is believed many more prisoners are still in the hands of tribes in the Interior of Morocco.

BERLIN, Aug. 13. Information regarding, the decision of the Supreme Allied Council to refer the Upper Silesian dispute to the League of Nations, was confined to a brief bulletin received here yesterday afternoon. The action of the council occasioned surprise in official circles, and while the government declined to discuss the new situation, there was an intimation that the Wirth cabinet was

disappointed at the council's inability

to reach a final and equitable decision.

inet omciai aeciarea, oecause n is calculated to prolong the hardships

of the already sorely tried populace of

Upper Silesia." Had No Interest. Discussing the differences between England and France, as reflected in reports of the deliberations in Paris, a German omciai said: "Germany has no interest in promoting an actual break in the ranks of the entente. She has an abiding faith in the righteousness of her case respecting Upper Silesia, and is quite willing to have the issue decided by the council of the league " There Is evident some apprehension regarding the nature of the attitude taken by the Poles, in view of the council's decision. It is asserted they are prepared for a fresh invasion of the plebiscite area of Upper Silesia.

(By, Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 13. Adjutant General Smith, on his return from Sullivan county, where he acted as Governor McCray's representative In the disturbance in the coal fields, asserted, that laxity on the part of Sher

iff Ed. Douthitt was partly to blamo

for conditions. General Smith scored Douthitt, saying the county official was "without sand and without conception," slow

to act, and that his action toward recruiting deputy sheriffs came after the general had told him that unless action was taken a report would be made to the governor that his conduce was such as to warrant his removal. Blame primarily for the ' disorder was placed by General Smith on "outside agitators acting along the I. W. W. line," while the crowd that ordered two mine bosses to quit the locality was said by General Smith to have been composed of adventuresome youths and men past 60 years dissat

isfied with working conditions. Before leaving Sullivan, General Smith said plans had been completed by the sheriff for recruiting 30 deputies who might be called on for service at a moment's notice. "We never contemplated using 300 deputies," said the general. Praise of Prosecutor Taylor was voiced by General Smith. Governor McGray was not at the state house today, having gone to visit his family in Michigan over Sunday, after receipt of reports that all was quiet in Sullivan county. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 13. Sheriff Douthitt, of Sullivan county, reported this morning that everything was quiet in the mine fields threatened by mob violence during the past two days. No acts of violence were reported. Thomas Williams, Adrian House, and

Riley Griffiths, arrested on a charge of rioting and conspiracy were released on bond late Friday.

All mines of Sullivan county were

closed down today, and thousands of miners from all parts of the district were attending the miners' annual

EVEN BURDEN OF TAXES IS OFFICIAL Air.1 II I I Ml ' " Administration Statement Issued at White House Says Program Is To Adjust Load Among All Classes. CERTAINTYlS SOUGHT

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 An offi-

i cial statement explaining the admin

istration tax revision program was issued today at the White House. It declares that "the aim was to establisa methods that would raise the needed revenue with a reasonable certainty, make collections sure and inexpens

ive and properly adjust the burden among all classes of the community."

It is felt that highly important program has been made along these lines," the statement says, adding: "There has been no effort to relieve the rich of their share of burdens but rather to insure that no class will be left an avenue of escape from these. A casual analysis of the proposals shows that what may be described as 'the rich man's taxes' will produce about $1,800,000,000, while the balance will be distributed over the entire community, rich and poor. "The reduction to 32 per cent of the highest income and surtax brackets is expected by the experts to produce actually more revenue from those sources than do the present much higher rates. Prevent Transactions The pretent rates prevent transactions which would involve application of the high rates and thu3 keep taxes away from the government. Also, they drive money into tax free securities, to the distress of business; and they lead to fraud and evasions. "Experience has shown in dealins with the excess profits taxes that where there is periodic selling, this tax is pyramided, multiplying the burden of the consumer, and indn"i speculation and waste and has been largely responsible for the intense speculation that followed the war. "It is an unsatisfactory tax on which to base revenue estimates because its

product of revenue is so extremely variable, and in the present epoch of reduced earnings it would utterly fail to produce the amount needed. Make Exemption "In increasing the tax on corporation earnings, an exemption is made of those having earnings of $2,000 or less the poor man's corporations. The number that would thus be exempted would exceed 300,000." After reviewing benefits which it in claimed will flow from repeal of transportation taxes and substitution of manufacturtus' tax for the so-callei "nuisance" levies, the statement concluded: "The whole tax reform program contemplates freeing business from what have been found paralyzing and exasperating restrictions, encouraging to the utmost the resumption of enterprise and business, removing every possible incentive to evasion and fraud and distributing the ta burden with the greatest possible

equity among all classes of people, keepljg in mind the purpose to impose the larger share on those best able to pay." Having practically completed revision of the levy sections of the 1913 law yesterday, majority members of the house ways and means committee, expected to finish work on the 'as bill today so as to have a commutes draft ready for consideration by the conference of house Republicans called for Monday.
