J Tie Senator declared that he hope' ' fiat tiie finance committee would be! aAle p> begin the preparation of the, 'mtm tar bill within the next week. He plan, he said, is to draft these esaares while the house ways and ams committee is working on; the ttnff, in order that the - r?venuei ii % legislation will be ready for con grtu as soon as the tariff is out of Che way. While still in a formulative stage, Senator Penrose asserted that the! program of federal taxation ated the abolitiion of the profits tax entirely and "the ladoction of income taxes all along tte fine to the collection point." fta is the point which _ !s deter as likely to yield the greatest jBweime.s *' "In the old davs." the Pennsyl Senator asserted, "the collec tion point, notably in taxes on whis was figured out almost to Mathematical exactitude. It has be wmas evident that there is a collec ; Con point' in income - taxation be f ymad which, it was argued, less reve imt will be obtained'under higher flora under lower taxes." < From this standpoint, the situa itLan is especially true in relation (to . Ilie excess profits tax and the heavy avrtaxes on big incomes which have ^ * * . encouraged investments in tax;ex exapt securties, Senator Penrose de : ?tered. The temptation to hide in this way he said, must be _ amoved and the possessor of wealth ipr -development and investment v msftst be provided with sufficient in v"s. aeotive to continue his activities. >> < 7 L* Other than tentatively, the sena ' tar asserted that his committee has jNt discussed the problem of what ajipr taxes are to be imposed to meet 4fe,deiicit in federal revenues that be' caused by the removal of the profits tax and the reduc of the income taxes. The , . ? 11 t^cs tax, he said, lias been suggest- < v ai as a substitute, but there are cer ttKK members of th& committee who not" convinced of the desirability ?r feasibly of this method of taxa tion. Many of the leaders in the tease are opposed to the sales tax. IS LECTURE TOPIC ?Mf0 L MoNutt to (live Notablt Address. | ^MI Kwhwii "DMmar Pall" Man Com* Ing on Redpath Chautauqua Program.

Wanna maker's Cleveland a 1-inch fiber, led the list producing 1672 pounds of seed cot ton, while the Delta Type produced 1584 pounds.

The Dixie WHY NOT GROW STAPLE COTTON Clemson College, March 31.? The length of staple plays at impor tant part in determining the price of cotton, and for this reason the long staple vanties of cotton bring a better price than do the short staple. It is natural that this should be the case since the longer the staple, other things being equal, the better the grade of clot&that can be produced. However the long staple varieties have not had th? populari ty that the short staples have had due in main to the fact that the l^hg staple varieties wfticn were iormeny grown gave poor yields of seed cot ton. This defect of the long staple varieties is now beng overcome by the breeding methods employed by some of our best seedsmen. In the past few years varieties of long staple cotton have been produced whose yields of seed cotton compare favorably with some of the popular short staple varieties, says G. H. j Colliftgs, assistant agronomist. For, instance in the 1920 cotton variety; !1 CAREFUllYJ EXPERTS AT Tl The Pi and Ba Compa ! ! Ejnjuzmnuiininii^ Affifi is also a good wiit-reaastent variety. All of these are early long staple varieties and may be expected to succeed under weevil conditions. ) COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM AT FURMAN UNIVERSITY Greenville, March 30.?The com mencement at Furman this year will be one of particular interest.
