r INCOME AND OTHER
TAXES TO REMAIN
Experts Have Ne Hepe of Early
Lifting of Levies by

Bu a Staff Corresponds I
... whlnlen, Nev. SO. Any theuitht
Jtlmt thcre mn be n reduction lu th
Mnceme tax rate next venr may an well
'be abandoned new as later. Republican
UejrtMatera and tnxe expert nnve aU
rcndy reached tlic conclusion that the
prejenr law will have te remain un
changed se far aa the normal Murtax
ievlea are Concerned, and that future
reduction will have te nuatt experi
ment with n new tarltE .law and con
Iteration by the next Congress of u
ales or compennatten tax.
' Uhcre Is a difference of opinion na te
ithe neMlblllty of repeallnp or reduc
anf the excess profits tax. The rcvenue
requirements of the geTcrnmcnt are
'such as te prtclude the repeal of any
existing taxes until new Beurces of
revenue arc provided. Fer this reason
it la thought nrebable that for the tires-
ent .Congress lll de nothing mere tlmnt flfth
juuuuy uie excess proms lax 10 re
lieve the embarrassment of corporations
caught In the sudden decline In material
and commodity prices.
It Is recognized that the benefits of a
higher tariff would net be felt by the
treasury for at least n year, and tli"t
even though tariff duties should b
.creased by the new Congress, it would
be several months before the effect en
revenues could be estimated. With ex-
, ports growing and imports falling off,
and with the whole fabric of Interna
tional trade affected by credit and ex
' change problems resulting from the
Trnr, there la no thought of appljlng a
blanket increase en all commodities
which new pay a duty, or fixing a sub
stantial tariff en all ltcmt new exempt
from Impert duties.
Effect of New Tariff Delaed
Senuter Ledge's statement that the
'existing tariff laws are net producing
'an appropriate share of government
revenues represents the general view of
ether Republican leaders. The process
of framing a tariff bill under any cir
cumstances is a tvdieuB one, however,
and it li realized that in the light of
'uncertainties due te the shifting tides
of foreign trade, it is likely te take
longer than usual in the coming Con
gress. Though the tariff will be one of
the first subjects taken up by the extra
session President-elect Harding Is ex
pected te call next March, experienced
legislators are convinced it will be late
summer or fall before a new tariff law
can be perfected and put Inte effect.
Republicans In charge of revenue
'legislation In the Heuse hope te raise
nn additional $70,000,000 or $1,000,
000,000 by the new tariff. This, In
time, is counted en te permit a reduc
tion in the income tax rate, but all
hope that this can be accomplished in
1021 or possibly the following year has
been abandoned. Until it Is known
tvhat the new tariff law will produce,
no material change lu the national tax
j laws will be attempted.
91,000,000,000 Interest en War Debt
Kvcn the slashing of departmental
appropriations in pursuance of the gev
ernmental economy program te which
the Republican administration Is
pledged will save relatively little. The
army and navy programs require ap
proximately $1,500,000,000 annually,
or twice the total requirements of the
government a few years age. The Inter
est charge en the national Indebtedness
resulting from the war adds anethr
$1,000,000,000, and as yet no prevision
has bten'ma le for a sinking fund te re
tire the government's war obligations
when due.
Authorities here declare little can be
done te cut government expenditures
until It is known what the allied na
tions can de about interest payments
en the $10,000,000,000 lent by the
United Stntes during the war. The
government is new paying the Interest
en the $10,000,000,000 lent te the al
lies during the war, for interest pay
ments from the borrowers have been
temporarily deferred. If Great Britain,
France anu iiaiy succece in weming
out a program for resuming interest
payments en this indebtcdnes, this
would cut approximately $500,000,000
from the revenue requirements of the
government. If the nations of the
world, through the league of Natien
or otherwise, work out a program for
a reduction en armaments, halting com
petitive naval construction and reduc
ing the slxe of military establishments,
It is thought this might reduce the na
tional budget another $500,000,000.
War Debt Aggregates $24,000,000,000
Roughly, the war debt of the United
States, Including the loam te ltn allies,
amounts te $24,000,000,000. Liberty
bend Issues represent 815,202,8.S8,4ia
of this amount, Victory nates of the
fifth Liberty lean, $4,241,130,420,
treasury certificates. $2,010,020,450,
anu war saving securities $7HU,i)74,
303.08. Allied governments with the exception
of Russia paid the interest en their
war leans In full up te the spring of
1010, and Russia continued her inter
est payments up te November 15, 1017.
Deferred interest payments due this
J ear amount te $403,215,013.00, which
means mat tnis sum must be raised
annually by taxation in the United
StHtes until the allied government! are
able te perfect a plan for refunding their
war debts and resuming their Interest
payments.

Se much Interest has been
aroused by this wonderful Cook
ing Machine that for general in
formation we have compiled
some of the questions usually
asked, and their correct answers.
Q. It it necenary te preheat feed)
before placing them in the eren?
A. Ne. Thii i jutt the point in which
the Acorn Cooking Machine i u u
perier te the "tireless cooker." Feeds
enn be put cold into the cold even
nnd they will cook better than if pre
heated by the troublesome method
of the "firelest cooker."
Q. But surtly pittry cannot b put Inte
cold even?
A. Pastry ' the one exception. In this
case the even needs a slight pre-heatlng.
Or else pastry can be cooked in the even
after it has been heated by the cooking of
ether feeds,
Q. Is It possible te bell and roast nt the
same time?
A. Yes. The even is se made and ven
tilated, and Its heat-retaining qualities are
se unusual, that It will roast meat and
boil vegetables or ether feeds at the same
time,
Q. Dut suppose a piece of meat requires
one hour of direct-flame and two hours of
retained heat) will net this time be tee
len for, say, string beans and puddlnr,
and will It net be necessary te remove
(hem before the roast?
A. Ne. Remember, the even starts cold
and the gas has te bum for some time be
fore a cooking-temperature Is reached, Ac
cording te definite scientific laws the
string beans and the pudding cannot start
te cook until the roast also starts te cook.
The gas shuts off after a short time of
direct cooking, and before the string beans
and pudding could possibly overcook.
Frem then en, the slew, rven heat re
talned In the even Is net intense enough
te overcook even the most delicate feeds
Yet it Is het enough te complete the cook
ing of the roast.
Yeu are invited te come in
and personally ask any ques
tions about this new automatic
method of cooking.
