McADOJ SUGGESTS TAX REDUCTION'NS Billion Dollars Can be Cut Off. Burden Too Great. Washington, March 4.-An immedi ate bililon dollars reduction in fed eral taxes was suggested in a state ment issued he'e today by William G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treas ury. - The present tax burden is too great, lie said, and is "having an in jurious effect on business." Mr. McAdoo proposed that collec tion of a tax to establish a sinking fund for retirement of the war debt, which was recommended by Former Secretary Glass, to begin with the fiscal year 1920, be postponed for two years, and that the deferred payments of European interest be funded un til Europe is in position to pay its ii terest charges. "By discontinuing purchases of Liberty bonds for retirement under provisions of existing law, the treas ury would be relieved of a large bur den now reflected in the floating debt and :which otherwise will have to be made up by taxation," said Mr. Mc Adoo. "it would seem that reduction of our tax bill for the next two years in this manner could be accomplished and that it would involve the issuance of additional bondqs to the .xtent of oprobably not more than $1,500,000,000. "I trust that the ways and means committee of the house in which all tax measures mu;st, of course, orig inate, will consider this question in its bro'ad relation to our general eco nomic welfare. The immediate bur den of taxation is too great. It is hav ing an injurious effect on business. Il is a contributing factor of large pro portions in the high cost of living.

London, March 4.-Europe is in dan or of permanently losing the position a he held in the world before the out- g reak of the world war, says Premier s litti, of Italy in an interview printed 11 y the Manchester Guardian today. 'He u ioints out that Ilurope is no longer a e reditor, but is on the debit side of he ledger. Public order in Italy is good, he f ays, and if that country could get ter ninuin requirements in coal, ood stuffs and raw materials, she vould be able to reconstitute herself 3conomically. "No attention must be paid to ru inors about Bolsheviam," he continues. Dnly brief allusion to the Adriatic problem is made in the interview. "We shall find a way out," says the premier, "and we and the Jugo-Slavs will be friends. Feeling natrually ex ists over Flume, because the future of some Italians -is immediately con cerne(d but these are really questions of statistics and not of wild ambitions. "What, after all, is Italy demanding in the Adriatic? She wants strips of territory the population of which is less than the Italian casualties in the war. "There are possibilities of revolu tion and these possibilities threaten us all. The tension must be relaxed. Ilow can the vanquished pay indemni ties unless their productivity is re stored by allocation of raw materials? It is a great thing we are not going to suffocate the Turk, 1)mt will help him to his feet like ainy otier ruined people." The premier aix.)rc.4ss strong (on viction in favor of restoring normal relations with Russia, adding: "There should be no more meddling with the internal affairs of one coun try by another."

While the "wets" of the house were iaking their fight, Attorney General 'homas F.

Attorney General MIcCran contended hat the amendment was not properly Irawn and that congress possessed no power to propose a constitutional .mendlment regulating the habits and iniorals of the people.

I find myself, at seventy-ono, frequently drifting back a quarter of a century, when I see myself in the little drug storo I owned at Bolivar, Mo., making and telling a vegetable compound to my friends and customers-what was then known only as Dr. Lewis' Medicine for Stomach, Liver and Dowel Complaints.
