Sent. 14. Here arc somo of the things the new revenue bill does for the uxcrngc mart: If he is married, it Increases his in-comc-tnx exemption on that account to ,2."i00 Instead of $2000 an at present. If he hns dependent children or other dependents, It allows him to deduct $400 for onch dependent in computing his taxnblc income. The present exemption Is S200. By repealing the excess-profits tax. thereby removing nn excuse to pile up prices to the ultimate consumer. Treas ury experts say It will reduce the cost of living It lowers the tnx on baseball equip ment and sporting goods. These chnngeM nnd modifications in the present income-tnx law have been agreed to by House and Scnntc revenue trainer. They represent the visible benefits accruing to the nvcrngc citizen from the Republican program of revenue revision. Theatre Ta Stands Agniiil that showlng.vhcrc arc some of the things tho new bill docs not do: It doesn't make it nny ensier to fill out aji income-tax return nor remove the penalties for failure to mnke a re nin, whether your income Is tnxnblc or not. Tobacco nnd chewing-gum taxes re main the same. It doesn't repeal tho tnx on theatre admissions. It doesn't repeal the tax on express package?. It doesn't permit n traveling sales mnn to (Induct hl.s llvine exnenses while on the road, in computing his taxable Income. It doesn't reduco the tax on candy. Whether or not it will repeal the transportation tnx. which piles up the costs of railroad journeys and Pullman accommodations s to be decided touoy by the Finance Committee. The House nevenue inn as sent to the Senate eliminates nil transportation taxes. The Finance Committee is de bating whether to restore them, or, In ether words, retain thein ns at present. This will depend, it is said, on Treas ury estimates of revenue trom otner sources, to be sutmuttcu Dy me ac tuaries and experts today. The com mittee hopes to remove tne passenger nnd freight taxes. Would Cut Luxury Levies Another decision Is expected today on the soda-water tnx. Senators on the committee nppear highly desIrouB of removing this tax. They arc likewise Btrongly disposed to remove or materially reduce the lux ury taxes, making fewer items taxable. If this tax is eliminated or modified, ns appears likely, such items as silk socks, silk stockings of moderato orice. hatit, shoes and the necessaries of life will not be taxable. There will be no new taxes of any kind imponed, if present agreements stand. All proposals for a sales tax, a manufacturers' tax, a tax on bank checks, for three-cent postage, and similar lnnovntlons hnvo been vetoed both bv thp House nnd Senntc. It in the consensus of opinion of tho fiscal authorities of Congress that all snles tax proposals should be held In reserve for consideration in connection with the soldiers' bonus, when that eomen up. The bonus bill is now safely pigeonholed in tho Finance Committee, and is likely to remain there Indefi nitely Sales Duty Shelved Realizing it must be acted upon eventually, however, members of tho Ways and Means and Finance Com mittees prefer to shelve the sales tax nlonc with the bonus and consider them together, on the theory thnt a blanket bonus for ex-service men can only be paid out of the proceeds of a sales tax. The following examples show how the new Income tax exemptions will work out In the case of a man with an in come of SMXV) or less: Mnrrled, ho will pay an incomo tax of 4 per cent only on that portion of his income over his $2500 exemption. A married man with one child or other dependent will pay only on that portion of his Income over $2000 ; with two dependents, on his income over $3300, and so on Thus a married man with three chil dren nnd nn income of $3000 a yenr or less will have no tax to pay. If he hflH a wife nnd six children, nil de pendent his exemption will total $4000. PORTO RICANS CONTENT Unionist Party Abandons Demand for Independence Snn Juan, P. It.. Sept. 14.

ZIONISTS IN TURMOIL Clash Between Orthodox and Labor Ites Causes Stormy Scene Carlsbad, Czccho-Slovakia, Sept. 14. (By A. P.)

OILBEBT Htar Corrrsnondent, Rvenlnc Publle Ledger CopiHonf. lttl, n PuWo Ltdoor Company Washington, Bept. 14. Japan's re ported position In regard to limitation of nrmnments indicates that the real difficulty In the coming confcrcnco here will be to find some basis upon which the Powers con ngrco to cut down naval expenditures. What Japan alms nt is the mainte nance of the naval status quo In tho Fnr East or perhaps the strengthening of herself relatively in that quarter. Political difficulties in the Pacific arc clcarjng up, except tho uncertainty with regard to tho unity of tho Chinese Governments. Tho Shantung problem seems sure to bo solved by Japan's recent offer to withdraw from the province, retaining only a Joint control with China over tho railroads there. A similar nttltude with regard to the twenty-one dcmandH Is confidently expected, Japan Is vir tually abandoning tho political pene tration of China, except Manchuria, nnd in spite of official denials, this country Is likely to bo found indulgent toward Jnpan'a ambitions in that quarter of Asia. Conflict on Nnal Bases But Rome of tho nrlncllilcs announced In Tokio regarding disarmament in tho Pacific run counter to this country's plans to operate its navy chiefly in that ocean. This country has ho adequate rmvnl bases in the Pacific. If Japan's tosltlon Is thot no now naval bases shall be constricted nnywhero In the Pacific, the United States can never opcrnto more than a part of her navy iu that ocenn nnd the control of tho Pa cific will remain indefinitely In the hands of Japan. It Japan means simpiy mat mis country shall ngrec not to construct naval bases in the Philippines nnd Guam, it is possible thot this country will agree, for it is not likely that tho limitation of nrmnment will mean any thing if tho United States proceeds to bring its navy within striking distance of tho Far East. But there remains tho western const line for the United States. This coun try will hardly agree that It cannot con struct in California, Washington or Oreiron. or nerhai'H in Hnwail. naval stations ndequntc for the basing of the American Fleet In the Western waters. And there is also Alaska that is a part of the coast line of the United States. Harbors on it rfally lie nearer Japan than nny of the island possessions of the United States. In the case of war with Japan, these harbors would be Immense ly important citncr lor tne nciense oi the United States, or, ir seizcu ny toe Japanese Navy, for an attack upon the vi est coast of the United States. Thus while nn agreement to limit nnvnl armament in the future assures the supremacy of tho United States on the seas generally ns tho power hnvlng or to have when the present building programs nre completed probably the strongest navy In the world, an agree ment such as Japan suggests, limiting naval bases In the Pacific, would leave Japan supreme In that ocean, at least in the Eastern part of that ocean. Also it is a little uncertain what Is meant by the Jnpnncse suggestion that "Powors should minimize the scope of their nmament to tho same degree ns thnt country having the smallest nnval strength of those concerned." The end Is described to be that no Power should possess such a force as to obtain a de cisive victory over nny other Power in the agreement. Expect Japan to Yield This suggests that other countries cut down to the standard of Japan or that Japan be nllowcd to expand more than its greater rivals. Tho suggestion that present buliaing programs ue car ried out, though Relayed, looks In the same direction, Japan having the larg est building program. When the conference actually gotB down to work the same considerations, the necessity of working harmoniously with this country nnd England, which Ih causing Japan to abandon her ag gressive political policy In the Fnr East in Shantung nnd with regard to the twenty-one demands, will, no doubt, rnnni hir tn vlcld somewhat of her no- sltlon regarding the naval status quo in tho Fnr East. But experts who have been working here unon disarmament nro confronted by the difficulty of finding any IiobIs for measuring future naval armament. It is impossible to say so many battleships, so many cruisers, so many submarines, may be built because the Interests of the various navies differ. One wants submarines, another battleships, another nirplunes and airplane carriers. It is impoHslble to determine in advance in ternationally the line of development each nation shall take. The proposal to adopt a monry limit is equally unsatisfactory. No one really knows what tho relative costs or build ing wnr ships in the vnrious countries are, nnd even if this essential inct wero known there is no way of keeping them constant. For exnmple, British costs which were, a few years ago, about one half American costs, now nearly equal them. Tho same thing may be true In the future of Japan. Other Standards Faulty Ono proposal Is that Governments be limited to the cxpendltupro of a certain percentage of the sum they raise by taxes upon naval armament. This sounds fair for the moment, but an na tional expenditures have a greater op portunity to rlso in this country on ac count of its greater wenlth, than else- TOKIO NAVAL STAND CONFUSING TO U Noel FrencK Hand Bags Black silk itK appliques of ecru lace and gold thread ; of black, blue or brown silk with pipings in delicate colors, or ornamented with cut-steel beads, or with tortoise-shell frames; of silk in antique tapestry effects ; of black silk 0ith hand-embroiderad flowers in natural colors.
