Tlie excels profit tax "mu-t co," Mr Kahn vald, addiiiK. that while It wa theoretically sound, its cll.vadvantageM outbalanced its advantages. Continuation of the incimc surtaxes, Sir. Kihn explained, was a social and economic necessity, hut he warned ftfa'nst exceaiire levies on the higher lncom" on the ground they did not pro duce the maximum of revenue for which they were designed. He Raid a'so he opposed any exemption under Income xax provisions. "Your prolixin, " Mr. Kahn con tinued, "is to find out how to make the nrtaxes economically sound It Is a quest'on of finding how and what rates can be made t produce the maximum. But I think there la danger in exces sive levies In surtaxes and this houtd be guarded aga nst." Committer Favors Sales Ta Before Mr. Kahn was called, Chair man I'nrdney stated that he and other members of the committr were in favor of "some kind" of a sales tax as one of the means of raising the four bil lions of revenue needed annually by the government. "It seems a sensible tax," said the chairman, "but we do not want a sales tax that will be multiplied and pyra mided into a burden on the consumer. e want to avoid a law which will cause to be pass -d on to the consumer ievy which nets more profits to the Bie-chant than tax to the government." The chairman added that under some f the present taxei., merchants were dd'ng under the gu'se of taxes much more to the price of articles than the tax levy justified. He contended thnt this was one of the problems which Congress must solve In revising rev nue laws. Condrmns Treaty Provision Mr. Knbn was asked during the course of his statement whether he thought the sijninr of the treaty f Versai'les would obviate any of the dif ficulties, industrial and financial, now confronting the country. He replied that the Versal'les peace was "as equally devastating as the war in it disregard of econ mie aspects." Mr. Kahn blamed "the present finan ciai turmoil" for the predicament in which the farmers find themselves. He aid their condition was not due to f.nnncial deflation because "there has sot been financial deflation so far." Taxation, nccordlns to Mr. Kahn. Has one of the factors bringing about collapse of the market. He declared It was necessary "that we retrace our iteps and re-estab'lsh a saner and fairer system of taxation without any undue tenderness to capital." Declaring that the rich "are very cannv and wi'l ur.i tect themselves always." Mr. Kahn said capital should pay its just taxation and that a system must be worked out whiefa would compel those taxes to be paid. Opposes Levy on Hank Deposits Asked regarding recent propovnN to tax bank deposits, the witness said such a step "would be almost calamitous in Its effect." "It wou'd practically make us go back to the days of barter- would be throwing a moukey wrench into the whole machinery of finance," said he. Quec-tioued as to the etatement of W. G. McAdoo. former -ecretary of the treasury, that deflation had been car ried too far and that Federal Reserve banks should he allowed to reduce in terest rates and member banks encour aged to extend more liberal credits, Mr Kahn said smilinglv that "with all due respect to Mr. McAdoo und his ability, I think that statement was made with an eye to 1021 rather than to Win."

Tlie story orisinnted in his newspaper plant in Dayton the night of the elec tion, It was midirght. and the re turns by that time had Indicated the sweeping and Inundating character of tne Republican victory. The governor was surrounded by his familv and in timate friends and a few newspaper correspondents, for he wus popu'ar with the newspapermen, who followed him through the enmn'tn. When it had been demonstrated be yond all question thnt Harding had re ceived all but a few scattering votes here and there In a few states, one of the newspaper correspondents plucked the go nor by the sleeve, placed a hand on his shou'der, or otherwise at tracted his attention, and said: "Well, fovernor. it's over Have you anything to say? Can we say nnyth'ing for von tonight?" "No," said the governor, In his de liberate way. "Not tonight, boys. I'll have to analyze it. May have something in the morning." At this point "Red" Smith, of the Chicago Tribune, spoke up. "I'll tell you what to say. governor." he suggested. "I'll issue a statement for you." "All right. Red." the governor agreed. "You issue the statement. What shn" it be':" Sm'th struck an attitude. Thrusting one hand In his vest, he said : "The people have spoken but they needn't have spoken so loud!" That is one version. The other is t'nele .Toe Cannon's. He put it thus in commenting on the election : "The people have spoken, but they needn't have made d fools of them- -elves!"

The orator was Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. He! said: "The underlying and the Insting cau-vs which made the action of the Pi'grims a decisive event In hlstor seem to me to be not what they did with their ships nnd farms, their trade nnd their fisheries, but with their minds aud with their thoughts. It matters not whether we ngrcc with their theology or with their forms of Christian wor ship. Thnt which counted then nnd hns counted ever s nee was thnt they set the spiritual nbove the material. "They never for n moment thought that life aud its mjstrries could be ex iresscd in economic terms, which seems, if not actun'ly nvowed. to be the tendency among nil c'nsscs today. They set character first. They sought to give men freedom both in body and mind. They tried to reduce the sum of human misery. As we think of them our reverence nnd our admiration nllkc grow ever stronger. While the great re public is true in heart and deed to the memory of the pilgrims of Plymouth. It will tnke no detriment even from the hand of time." (overnor Coolldgc's Tribute fJnvc-nnr Coolidge In n brief address paid tribute to the little company of the .ilayllower nnd said no Ike body ever cast so great an influence on human history. "They came not merely from the shores of the o'd world." he said. "It will be In vnln to search amonj records, maps and history for their origin. They sailed up out of the infinite. "There was among them smnll trace f the vanities of 1 fe. They cuine un decked with orders of nobl i'lty. They were not children of fortune but of tribulation. Pe-sccution. not preference, brought them hither, but It was a perse cution in which they found a stern satisfaction. They cared little for titles, till less for the goods of this earth, but for an idea they would die. M-ns ured by the standard of men of their I'm' they were the humble of the earth. Measured by 'nter accomplishments they were tlie mighty. "No like body ever cast so great nti 'nflurnre on humnn history. Civnizu tinn lias made of their landing place a shrine. Plymouth Rock does not mark a beginning or nn end. It murks n revelat'on of that which is without be ginning nnd without end, u purpose shining through eternity with a re splendent light, undiiiimecl even by the imperfections of men, nnd n response, nn unswering purpose from those who, ob'ivious, disdainful of nil else, sailed hither seeking only for nn avenue for the immortal soul."

Tlie answer of their descendants to this challenge came in these words : The I'llirrlm's faith, the I'llcrlmn couraru zrant ua, Still shines the truth that tor the. Pllxrlm shone.
