Continued from Fnie One
atmosphere of legalism the Supreme
Court. Mr. Reet, I should say, was
the better man nt settling cases out
of court. Mr. Reet is the mere prac
tical, the mere diplomatic.
Net understanding men, Mr. Hughes
is net a soeil irgnni7cr. lie organized

v Idle contact with the personnel hanlh

rei t us' nrzin.titiun. but I suspect it
priHseds from Mr. Hughes' weakness
: ether than his sttength.
Te Mi. Hushes, the coming cenfei -i
nee is a preb.cm of facts and princi
ples, of morals. Te Mr. Reet It is llkcl
te he enn of men and negotiations. Mr
Hughes might fail .is Mr. Wilsen failed
at Paris be-unc the world did net rise I
te him. Mr. Reet would come down and j
meet the world half way und pull it te-
wnrd him. ' ,
Th difference is Important In ths '
coming conference. Mr. Hushes will be i
the dominant American figure. He Is
Secretary of State. He will de the !
tulkl-ig te the press and thnt centers the
eyes jf the country. Mr. Reet may be

SALES TAX PLAN
URGED BY SMOOT
Utah Senater's Proposal Fa

OBJECTIONS WITHOUT BASIS
I! the Associated Prc
Wfishln.teu. Oct. 11. The sales tax
is bound te come, the Senate wns told
'eelaj by Senater Smoot, of Utah, au
thor of a i lanufacturers' sales tax plan
which he urged as a substitute for the
ejicvsN profits tax anet the various mis
celliineeus .evies new In force.
"There is no real, fundamental ob-
jeefinn te a sales tax.'" the Sennter ele
clared. "U Is a 'ei -s-'ou-go' prep

Constant Flew of Rcenue
"Lverv . ne te whom it applied would
be libit te usiTMia the amount of his
liability a glatfe, anil the process of
working e it a tax retain would lese
nil its terrors. It will give the lYens
ury Department a constant inflow of
revenue eluring monthly periods. Cur
rent cxpen-.es can le met out of current
receipts te that extent. It amounts te
an adjiuti.ig of taxes te business In
stead of trying te compel business te
adjust Itself te taxes."
Replying te arguments thnt the pro
posed te.x was impossible of adminis
tration, Senater Smoot said this was
no a fnet that manufacturers' tnxes
were being collected under the present
tnx law and that collections could lie
made in tne same manner under his
proposal. He reael n letter from As
sltnnt Internal Revenue Commissioner
Smith, who stated that .In his opinion,
the manufr.. tures' sales tnx would be no
mere difTc It coadministratien than the
sales tnx imposed by the 1!U7 and 101S
laws.

said "we inve raised during the fiscal

center of the stage from the start, nl nl
theugh ethers were doing the talking.
Colonel Simmons arrived in Washington
last night, but in mysterious way he did
net stay en the train until it reached
this city. He get off in the darkness
down in Virginia anil proceeded the
rest of the dlstnnce by automebl.c. Ar
riving here, it was announced that he
was "stepping with a friend" nnd net
leglstcred at a hotel.
Simmons Chews' nnd Smokes
Simmons chewed gum or smoked a
cigarette, sometimes he did both nt
once, as the assnilants of the Klun get
under wny before the committee. In
turn, Representatives Tagtie, of Mussii
thutett.s; Dyer, of Missouri, nnd Ryan,
of New Yerk, told the committee thnt
the K'nn wns n dangerous order and
should be investigated nnd suppressed.
At times wficn outrede were chnrged
against the Klan, Simmons merely
smiled and looked at Paul Klhrldge, of
Atlanta, general counsel for the ereler,
who came up from Atlanta with him.
Mr. Klhrldge took full notes of the
testimony.
In the hearing room were dozens of
Catholics, .Tews and NegreeH, the three
religious or racial elements the Klan
does net ndmlt te meinbeisiilp. Rep
rc8nntatlvc ltynn contended thnt nny
organization whle h discriminates
against "the Catholic. .Tews. Negroes
und the foreign-born element in this
country, constituting ".." per cent of the
population, is a menace te American
institutions."
There were two classes of Negroes In
attendance. In the room were well

Outside the doorway, looking around
through the opening, were live Negro
men attired In overalls. They were
workmen about the Capitel. Their eyes
were wide with curiosity, If net nwe.
as they gazed upon the Imperinl Wlrard
and they held whlspeied conversations.
They enme no closer te the hearing thnn

Attorney General Daughcrty, whose
depnitment is Investigating the purposes

May Seat Ulster

Contlnned from rate On

the driver, looking wendcrlngly through
his monocle at the demonstrators.
When the conference opened thn Irish
delegates, nftcr nn exchange of intro
ductiens, took seats at the cabinet table
with their backs te windows overlooking
the Herso Guards parade, with the
Hrltlsh representatives opposite them.
Strictly speaking, nobody presided In
the erdlnnrv sense of the word, but
T.lnvd Genrore wns the spokesman nt the

Move! Geene's opening remnrkn were
brief, ns wns the reply of Griffith, and
the conference sett'ed clown te tne worn
in hand. Irish sympathizers outside
sang hymns during the opening of the
cenference1.
The Irish delegates were cheered ns
they drove away from Ne. 10 Downing
street In motorcars. They refused te
answer questions put by newspnper cor
respondents. One of Mr. Lloyd Geerge's secreta
ries, who received the newspnper men
lust after the conference opened, smil
ingly said :
"Yeu cannot expect any news for
weeks yet."
Nothing occurred nt the conference
te suggest the neelley of a break In
negotiations, no erdlng te Sinn Fein
efficlnN. who expect the meetings te
entlnue dally during the remainder of
the week.

The text of the cemmunique given
out after the first session follewa:
"The first session et the conference

present two Hrltlsh secretaries, nnd Er Er

Irish secretnrles. The conference ad
journed until 4 o'clock."
It Is doubtful if there was ever nn

marked that the negotiations lending up
te today's meeting hnd done nothing
material te narrow the wlde gulf be
tween the views taken en each side of
the question.
"Of the many conferences held re
garding Ireland," declared the Dally
Mail, "there hns never been one with
Mich sharply contrasted possibilities for
geed or evil."
Dublin, Oct. 11. Enmen de Valern.
in a proclamation Issued Inst night
through the Dnll Elrennn, snya:
"The conference in which the accred
ited representatives of the Natien are
about te engage with representatives of
the Hrltlsh Government must pro
foundly Influence nnd may determine the
whele ceurae of our country's future.
It will affect the lives nnd fortunes of
every section of the community.
"Whatever the differences of the
pest, it is te the interest, as it is the
duty, of oil Irishmen te stand together
for Ireland new. Our delegates nre
keenly conscious of their responsibili
ties. They must 1k made te feel thai n
united nation hns confidence In them
nnd will support them unlllnchingly.
They shnre with ench one of us the
ardent desire thnt this secular conflict
between the rulers of Great Britain
and the Irish people rany happily be
brought te an end.
Only Freedom Can Bring pence
"Hut they realize thnt the ending of
the conflict does net depend upon their
will or the will of this nation. The
struggle en our side has nlwnys been
simply for the maintenance of n right
that In Its nnturc Is Indefeasible and
that cannot therefore be either re
linquished or compromised. The only
peace that In the very nature of things
can end the struggle will be a peace
consistent with the ndtlen's right anil
guaranteeing freedom worthy the suf
ferings endured te secure it. Such n
pence will net be easy te obtain. A
claim that conflicts with Ireland's right
has been ruthlessly persisted In through
"cnturles of bleed ; it seems unlikely
that this claim will be abandoned new.
Pence and thnt claim nre Incompatible.
"The peace that will end this con
flict will be secured net by the skill or
statesmanship of the lenders, but by
the stern determination of a close-knit
nation steeled te acceptance of death
rather than abandonment of rightful
'lberty. Nothing but such determina
tion by our peep'e can overcome the
forces our delegates will have te con
tend with."
