DECISION PAVES WAY TO COLLECT MILLIONS OF TAXES fKtlwrf Cnnrt Sustain* Rulinv Of Internal Revenue Department in War Excess Profits. 1 Philadelphia, May 24.?A decision ; in favor, of the United States gov ernment today in a suit brought by the Ehret Magnesia Manufacturing ( company of Philadelphia, to recover : $23,889 alleged overcharge for taxes |' for 1917, was said to1 pave the way,< for the government to collect mil-' lions of dollars from firms through-U out the United States, which have similar cases pending. In the decision said to be the first of its kind in any district, Judge Thompson, of the United States dis trict court sustained a construction nlaced unon the war excess Drofits tax law of 1917, by the internal rev-! enue department. Excess profits are levied on a grad- j uated scale of a corporations net in | come, ranging from a tax of 20 per cent of the invested capital to 60 per cent when the profits are not more than 15 per cent of the invested cap ital to 60 per cent when they are in! excess of 35 per cent of such cpaital. j The taxpayer is allowed to deduct from his income the average of pro fit made in pre-war times. The plaiiififlJ cwitkmded the! ieduc1 tiM'STrotrlchbe-imtde- from the whole ' of the net injome for 1917 and that! the remainder should be taxed on a j graduated scaie. ine internal reven ue department held the deduction should be made from 15 per cent of the invested capital and if the de duction did not exceed 15 per cent, the corporation then should be liable in taxes for the difference between the deduction and the balance of 15 per cent, if the deduction exceeded 15 per cent. The excess was to be applied to the succeeding classes un til it was absorbed and if the net income of the corporation exceeded 33 per cent, a tax of 60 per cent was assessed. ed it by rejuvenating her rose petal cheeks.

Many Wreaths Sent?GoTernori of Many States Join in Testi monial to Orator and Journalist Atlanta, May 24.?America's do sire for world peace was voiced here today by John H. Atwood, Kanss? City jurist, speaking at tihe memori al exercises at the Grady monument here in honor of the 71st anniver sary of the birth of the Georgia ora tor and journalist. . W&aths were sent by governor of many States, including Massachu etta, where Henry Grady made many speeches during the '70's and 'fiO's, and by Boston and other cities and many organisations in the North as well as scores in Georgia. The monu ment was re-unveiled by Betty Black, three year old granddaughter [>f Grady, and the wreaths were piled on its base. The memorial was marked by the extreme simplicity that characteriz ed Grady's life. Mr. Atwood, born in New England and long a resident of Kansas, was the only speaker al though the governor of Massachu setts, city 01 Boston ana wuier j states, cities organizations were rep-| resented. The Rev. W. H. Glenn, an aged tMethodist preacher, who was Grady's pastor, deflivered the invoca tion and Rabbi David Marx pro nounced the benediction. At the close the flag at Five Points, two blocks away, was lowered with a salute by the Georgia Tech R. O. T. C. J. L. O'Brien, Boston, editor who represented the commonwealth of Massachusetts, suggested in a lunch son address today that the memorial exercises in honor of Grady/, who died in 18894 be made an annual af fair. Mr. O'Brien, W. H. Lord of Boston, Melville E. Stone, counsellor o? the Associated Press, and other visitors, including Confederate and Union veterans, took part in the ex ercises. Describing Grady as a "man of !>eace," Mr. Atwood told the thou sands of persons who filled the streets around the (monument that Grady "taught the North that men fleemed wrong by their brothers of :he North could be wrong and not wicked. He taught the South that men might be victors -without being rindictive." "The laanp held , up by Grady's [lands, fed with the oil of brotherly regard, flighted all America,' Mr. At svood continued and prayed that such a bpacon might some day illu mine the world. He turned aside from his prepared address to urge that American business men in all lines regard it as , a duty to take a fair profit and "not what they am wring from men's necessities." Voicing a plea for more intensive Americanism in the face of the un rest that is shaking many nations of Europe and that is feflt in this country, said it appeared that the South had little unrest and that it might come to pass that the South would show the North "the way back to sanity and safety' and "how to buttress anew the/ foundations of the nation." The aftermath of the war, he said "has been marked by the Bolshevik idea that we can nave government without authority, production with out supervision, a state without mor tality and manhood without honoT."

It is said that the faculty's recent addon regarding sub roea fraterni ties did not meet with the unani mous approval of bhe trustees. For ty-eight students confessed to par ticipation in sub rosas were suspend ed for a week each, this action being taken several months ago following orders from the trustees for an up rooting of the "srub rosas."

Chairman Fordney of the house ways and means committee, which drafted the bill said, however, that no protests had come and that he had seen signs of only a few moves in retaliation. Only a slight flurry of opposition appeared as the bill went into the roll call today. Representative Gar ner of Texas ,a Democratic member of the ways and means, restated the position of a majority of his party and again declared the bill could do no possible good that it was a "sop"' to the farmers, and that the Repub licans had not rushed the bill to pas sage until it had been made "to take care of their industrial interests by compensatory dutes." , North Carolina had at least 10 capitols before the establishment of Raleigh as permanent capital. ^ 1 To the Sweet A Kodai Nothing wit Vacation Pleasure. : Large Stock to Select II; from $2.50 to $25.00 The McMur: OPERA H0\ A1 Christie's "So Lor From 01iv( r amous 01 Walter Heirs, Coll Barnes, Gr; How two fellows s \ what the wives had t A super comec laughs out of undert clusively that the on] out of water is to put it, also CENTURA ADMISSION Typewriters We Selh Rent and Repair Typewriters ....and....
