WASHINGTON", Nov. U Peace today threw into conference between congressional leaders and treasury officials the question of whether the tax burden plar.ned In the pending revenue hill can be lightened, in view of prospective reduction of expenditures. Sen. Simmons, chairman of the senate finance committee; Chairman Kitchln of the house ways and means committee, and Secretary McAdoo discussed the problem but reached no conclusion. Mr. McAdoo said he would undertake an immediate survey of the government's tentative plans for return of the army from abroad, for curtailing- war orders and other

phases of war to peace conversion, and make recommendations within a few days". The uncertainty of future government financial needs, and the urgent need of pushing the revenue legislation to completion at an early date, constitute the principal reasons prompting many congressional leaders, both democrats and republicans, today to advocate that the

bill not be changed to reduce the

revenue to any great extent. Already the senate has revised it t-o

that the income is estimated at

about SG, 200,000 instead of the eight billions provided by the house draft Treasury officials also pointed out that a large inflow of taxes will reduce the volume of war bonds which must be floated in the spring. Demand for immediate steps to cut down expenditures now is coming strongly from both parties hi congress. Senators Borah and Smoot, republicans. In addre$ses In the seate today, urged immediate curtailment of vast government expeditures and said Democratic deader Martin would have difficulty in carrying out his recently announced economy program unless the public is informed on details- of all expenditures.

A Dress Pattern A Waist Pattern A Skirt Pattern from the following can be chosen wisely knowing the pleasure it will give the receiver. Novelty Silks at $1.95 a Yard, in wondrous plaids and stripes. Wash Satins at $1.50, $2.00, $2.50 Yard, are famous for their superior quality. Tub Silks at $1.75 Yard, always popular for waists, also for men's shirts. Crepe c!e Chenes at $1.50. $2.00. also suggests practical

gifts made into handkerchiefs, underwear, petticoats, caps. The Cost of Making Useful Gifts is very slight considering with what great appreciation they are received. A Kimono Laundy Bag made of plain or flowered Serpentine Crepe csts only 39c yard, could also be made of Superba Flannelette for cold mornings. The price is the same. Mercerized Poplins are very pretty, fashioned into dresses for little children. You can make pretty Underwear of Silk and Cotton Crepe de Chine or Fashion Silk. The cost is only 75c yard. Dotted Swiss, Dimities, Organdies, India Linons are only trifles in prices, but priceless when made into dainty aprons, with pretty lace edge at only 5c yard. White Madras will make hubby a tine shirt. The mercerized stripes will give a pleasing appearance. The cost is only 50c yard. Many other suggestions are also in great evidence in the fabric section. However, we advise early selections. It is time now to commence making things intended for Christmas.

Why Compare Beef and Coal Profits? Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one-fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect cn the price. Comparison has, been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 32 per cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1 per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight. Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in open cars; beef must be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift 6: Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It is impossible to disprove Swift & Company's statement, that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S. A.
