TO SOLVE FINANCIAL PROBLEM, SAYS SOLON That his new bill instituting a "spending tax" to take the place of the excess profits tax and the surtax on incomes completely solves the problem of federal taxation, is the opinion of Congressman ugden L.

Mills of New York."The basis for taxation should be what is spent and not what is earned or i n v e sted or

saved," says M. Mills. j "Kn one will

1 I Jeny that we are at Vflr' - Present suffering

pression which probably has no equal in our history. This is very argely due to the

tart that the excessive direct taxation

hasdriven into tax exempt securities the fluid capital which is needed for normal expansion of business. This effectually stops the wheels of industry. Stopping the wheels of industry produces unemployment. There is no remedy except to repeal the present Furtaxes on income, not only because ihey are freezing up capital, but because their productivity is constantly

decreasing, they are almost impossible to collect, and the unsuccessful attempt to collect them will necessarily tend to more evasion of the duty which they impose, and a consequent demoralization of the whole system of income tax. Money Tied Up. "The amount of money tied up in municipal bonds and other tax-exempt securities in this country now amounts to from 12 to 15 billion dollars. There is practically no tax upon the interest which they pay. Take the case of a

rich man who has enough money to

fcubject him to the eight percent normal tax and the 6 percent Burtax this

means that he will have to get at least 16.67 percent on any security subject

.to tax to make it equal in profit to a 4',i percent bond exempt from taxa-j tion. No one can blame such a man for putting his money into tax-free securities, and such as he form now a class of men who are rich and yet at the same time practically free from taxation. "That people everywhere are taking advantage of this means to escape from excessive direct taxation i3 proved by the fact that when the heavy war surtaxes were adopted in 1917 incomes reported in excess of $300,000 fell from an estimated $950.000.000 in 1916 to $319,000,000 in 1918. Taxable incomes of over $100,000 reported only $60,000,000 in 1920, compared with $990,000,000 in 1918. Tax collections on these incomes were $470,000,000 in 1918 and in 1920 $270,000.000. "Before the war no country or state had successfully administered and collected an income tax of more than 15 percent. "The spendings tax bill which 1 have introduced would repeal all surtaxes on income and meet the needs of the government for money by taxing what is spent and not what it saved or invested. This would render available

the liquid capital for the lack of which industry is now being tied up, and would actually encourage its investment in industry instead of. as now, driving it into tax-exempt securities. It would, moreover, tax incomes of more than $4,000 and leave those with an Income of two to four thousand dollars just where they are today. In other words. I think that the spendings tax will lay the burden upon those best qualified to bear it."

Beauty Chats By Edna Kent Forbes

done or should be done to stop perFpiration, which is vitally necessary to ; the proper functioning of the body. Men will be more comfortable with soft collars instead of stiffly starched ones, and in very thin unlined suits during the hot weather. Women will be more comfortable and will perspire

much less freely if they will eliminate

unnecessary unaerciounng. wny wear

corsets on a roasting hot day, and why wear ribbed underwear that clings when underwear of muslin, or similar woven material, will allow the skin to ventilate?

The part that perspires most freely

is the armpit. Loose sleeves and

short sleeves will eliminate much of

this, while keeping the armpits free of hair, by shaving or using a depilatory, will also help a great deal. Use this formula, which will prevent excessive perspiration without destroy

ing the normal functions of the body, and which will destroy all unpleasant odor: Epsom salts 3 ounces Wheat bran Pint Water 4 pints Mix this and let it stand over night. Strain and add 4 ounces of the best quality Bay Rum. This lotion may be used as often as you wish.

MURRETTE. Some people can't do enough for film stars, especially if they have the rational popularity of Constance Talmadge, whose newest Associated First National photoplay "Wedding Rf-ils" is to be seen at the Murrette Theatre. This story is of an incident that occurred in Palm Beach while Connie was making "Wedding Bells." In one scene in the picture Miss Talmadge is called upon to chase her little poodle dog. Afier what director Chet Withey thought to be sufficient rehearsal, the order for filming

was given and Miss Talmadge proceeded to dash down th gravel driveway in pursuit of the dog. MURRAY Theatregoers who have en loved Eva Novak's last two faturs. "Wanted at Headquarters'' and "The Torrent." will recall the splendid actor who supported this charming star in those dramas, Leonard C. Shumway. He played the part of the gentleman detective in the first play and the role of the dissolute husband in the other. Mr. Shumway will again be seen in support of this star in her forthcom

ing feature, "Society Secrets." which '

is showing at the Murray Theatre, and will give another polished characterization of an important role. Here Is one actor who can always be depended on for a high class performance, as he has acted practically all his life and 'comes from a family that has been prominently associated with the- American stage for several generations. His father. George Shumway, was leading man of the old Salt Lake Theatre stock company, one of the famous dramatic organizations of the West. Leonard Shumway was born in Salt Ike City, where his parents were playing at the time, and made his stage debut before he could walk.

End the face treatment with an Ice rub

When we talk about beauty treatments we come down finally to one principle that what the face needs mostly is simply stimulation. If you go out for a talk in the cold air, the wind stimulates the skin and you come in with a clear complexion and glowing cheeks, and a wonderful feeling of freshness. When you go to the seaside the salt air and the salt water sting and stimulate the skin, and do it a great deal of good. But there is nothing in our every

day life to stimulate the skin, and much to harm it. Therefore a little artificial stimulation is a good thing.

You can give yourself a Etimulatjng treatment every time you wash your face. If you have an oily skin you need not use cold cream, but If you have a

dry skin massage the face with a little j

cold cream first because the stimulating treatment is more vigorous than the ordinary face wash. First of all, wring an old towel from hot water, hold it over the face and repeat two or

three times until the skin is red and glow ing. Then use your cold cream if j the skin is dry. In any case rub in a little lather from a mild soap, preferably castile. Then rinse with hot water. Rinse again with cold water to close the pores of the skin. If possible follow this by a five or ten minute rub with a piece of ice. There is nothing better for shrinking large pores, for making the skin fine and for bringing color into the face than an ice rub. If you canuot get ice, very cold water with a little salt in it is an excellent substitute. M. S. H.; D. M.; Grace F.; Reader: In a reduction diet, the things to avoid are the foods that contain starch, sugar and oils. Among these foods will be found almost all the vegetables that grow below the ground and white

bread, rich pastry and fat meats. The choice of food for reducing will be the vegetables that are not in the above collection, except corn, and almost all fruit. Grapes and bananas are fattening. Beef, lamb, chicken, fish and all other sea foods may be eaten. Cream and butter are fattening, but skimmed milk is not. G. G.: The formula sent you for making cold cream has nothing in it

that will cause a grow th of hair. H. C. L.: There is nothing to turn

dark hair, so that it will be grey. Peggy: You should weigh about 125 pounds. Cocoa is fattening if it agrees w ith you, but it is taxing to the digestion if taken persistently in warm weather, in which case it would not fatten at all. Milk can be made into junket or light custards and malted milk may be taken also, as a variety.

In the anticipated event that the

becomes an important issue in thei

New Mexican campaign Republican leaders are prepared to endorse it as a measure which will afford relief to the masses of the American people, and will make the tax burdens as light as is consistent with the requirements of the government. It is the contention of the Republican leaders in the house that under the provisions of the revenue act taxes will be reduced in the aggregate $193.640,000 for the current fiscal year, $377,990,000 for the following calenda year, and $790,330,000 for 1923. Democratic View Advocates of the house revenue bill whose statements will be widely distributed throughout New Mexico.

ter four sessions of the Democrat!

caucus had been held, and that when the vote was taken four Democratic members voted with the Republicans. Democratic opposition to that provision of the act which repeals the excess profits tax, and the provision for the reduction of rates in the higher brackets of the personal income tax, is expected in the forthcoming campaign. These sections will be construed by the Democrats as relieving the corporations and the individual

taxpayers of great wealth at the expense of the masses. The Republican reply to these charges will be that elimination of the excess profits tax and the substitution

of a flat tax on corporation earnings will tend greatly to encourage a resumption of industry and commerce, and in that way will bring a larger yield ot taxes into the federal treasury than would a retention of the excess profits tax; that a reduction of the higher surtax will result in increased income from that source, since the existing rates, extending up as high as 65 per cent, have driven much capital to investment in nontaxable securities to avoid these excessively high income rates.

Will Reduce Unemployment

The Republican attitude on the revenue bill in the New Mexican cam

paign will ba that with nearly 6,000,000

workmen idle in this country the rejuvenation of business is a matter of

national concern, and that it can be

aided when the revenue act becomes a law. . . . . -; Republican orators win lay much stress upon that provision of the revenue bill which provides tor the increase of the personal income tax exemptions for beads of families, and will assert that this provision will reduce the cost cf living to thousands of workmen who have moderate incomes. They will also emphasize that section of the bill which repeals the transportation tax, which repeals the tax on clothing, the so-called "nuisance" taxes, and the tax on new insurace policies.

Firestone first made the low price of $13.95 on the Standard Non-Skid , May 2. Unusual purchasing power through big volume of business, and the great efficiency of its $7,000,000 Plant No. 2, manufacturing exclusively 30x3 size, made this possible. Now, the production of the ExtraSize 30x3H tire has been transferred

to Plant No. 2. This permits the price reduction on this tire from $16.65 to $13.95. No such value has ever before been offered tire users. . If your dealer hasn't the ExtraSize in stock ask for our Standard Non-Skid type at the same price. You will still be getting an unusual tire value.
