WAR TAX BILL HELB
'UP PENDING RETURN
"OF THE PRESIDENT
Wrangling Over Plan to In
clude, Freight Causes Dem
ocratic Leaders to Delay
Report to. House.
"WASHINGTON. Sept. U-EmenreJicy
tcvnus legislation will hold chief In
tercat In the House this week, ilesrtltn
the i1ij In tho Inttoiluctton nt th.j Ail
ministration bill to provide JIW,CX00O a
-nr, which thft TrenBltry will ncml be
cause of tho falling off of ci.tonm duties
i account of tho Kurnnoan wnr. In
dlCAtlous arc now thnt tho bill nmy not
reach tho floor of the Hmisc until
VWdnt'sdny or Thursday, but the wriinR
JIiik over the prnposcd tax on frrlKht
phlpmcnts has lunched surll it sUrg that
n Democratic outictis is planned early tlii.
wech when several Democrats mil swk
to overthrow tho freight tax provision
of tho bill.
The original iirosrani wns that the
revejiuo bill, ncrcetl upon by n majority
of tho Democrats of tho Ways nnil
Means "Cdmlnilteo, woutd be Introduced
last Saturday and would be formally re.
ported by that coimnllloo today. Con
Kldcratlon of the bill under a special rule
m Bchcduled for tomorrow. llnM-ver. nt
tho eleventh hour on Saturday. Majority
Lender Underwood imiinuncpd he would
not Introduce the bill until It hnd re
ceived tho uuquulltled approval of iho
President, the Inference belnu that Mr.
Underwood realized tbe seriousness of
tho revolt against the freight tux clause
ind Intended to put responsibility
squarely up to Mr. Wilson.
Accordingly, the bill Is held In abey
ance until the President gets back from
Cornish, N. II . tomorrow.
Sulllclent signatures have been ob
tained to can a Democratic caucus
which Is scheduled for tonight or to
morrow night, unless tho President
brings pressure to bear to have It post
poned. It probably will roqulro a loiter
from him to put tba freight tax through
the caucus, although there Is little or
no opposition to the proposed tax on
beer and wines.
"When tho caucus Is convened Ttepre
sentatlves Kitchen and (.lamer, Demo
cratic members of tho Way and Means
Committee, who havo consistently op
posed a freight tax, will offer a substi
tute, bill proposing to tax beer, wines,
i jvhlsky, cigarettes, inheritances and au
lyiblles and to increase the Income tax

er, and placing a. cotisll"inllo Uix on

Outside of consideration of the im
portant revenue: measure, the Tlouse will
conclude during the week Its debate un
the bill authorizing the leasing of cnnl.
oil and phosphate lands on the public
domain. This measure probably will pass
without serious opposition. On Wednes
day the Barnhart printing bill Is to again
take the right of way and a vote may bo
reached on this measure designed to re
vlBe and modify the printing laws and
cheek waste, at the government printing"

They vrould also llmft th publication
of government documents to the actual
needs of public officials, and seek to )
cheat the "Junk pile." to which thousands
of useless, uncalled for documents nre
consigned each year.
Routine bills on the pilvato cla'ms
calendars are scheduled to take up tho
apart time of the House. In fact, there
Is no prospect of a ltgislatlvo M-up at
any time, this week.

SHOWN TUESDAY ON FIRST FLOOR, THE THOROUGHFARE
Instrument Goes Home at Once
Co-Operation
Wherever a common want can be
focalized, the want can he met ai a less,
encd price.
To insure one man's life for $1000 would
cost $1000 to insure a hundred thousand
lives for $1000 each wouldn't cost $40
apiece, and there'll he a profit to the in
surer. To sell a few pianos "costs more than
they come to"to concentrate a bifj
business on one make at a time, lets us sell
pianos on as close margin as we sell dress
goods and still the big business pays,
where the little business with high prices
cats itself up.
Suppose we sell four thousand pianos in
a year the demand coming just as it
happens we have to handle driblet lots
of each one make, and it's costly.
This club centers the attention of three
million people on pianos and players of
the Hardman make the "Harrington
line. We are justified in buying and re
ceiving and handling in the big way that
lessens cotj. ' v
The saving is divided among those who
join the club-that's the economy we offer
And we can even afford to insure each
member's life as to this debt.
Usually three or four days
after you join the club we
can get your chosen instru
ment home yours to enjoy
while the payments are going
on yours for always, if pay
ments are made, because there
is practically no wear-out to a
"Harrington" instrument to
any instrument that Hard
