HOUSTON WRITES
OF TAX PROBLEM
Washington.?Income and excess
piofits taxes can not be reduced until
after 1922. Secretary Houstoi
k rote the house ways and means
committee urging an immediate simplification
of these taxes and substitution
of a flat tax on excess
profits instead of the graduated
rates of 20 and 40 per cent.
"Only very moderate reductions"
may be made in the calendar year
of 1922, collected in 1923, the secretary
wrote. Under the plan of a
flat tax, the letter stated, it would
bo possible to adopt a reclining rate,
?ay of 25 per cent, for the first year
in which the change is in operation.
20 per cent for the second year and
15 per cent thereafter.
Unless action is taken at the present
session of congress Mr. Houston
-aid existing tax "must continue to
be collected on the basis of the
present law until the close of the
calendar year 1922." Such a condition
he wrote is contemplated with
he gravest apprehension."
Immediate losses to the government
under the supreme court's decision
that stock dividends are not
axable will approximate $10,000,)00,
the letter stated. Secretary
Houston added, however, that the
dtimate loss would be only $25,000,
)00, as much of the original loss
>vould be regained through the sale
>f stocks and subsequent taxes on
hem. The secretary estimated that
535,000,000 collected in 1918 w >ul1
lave to be refunded and $70,000,000
.vould be lost on 1919 taxes.
Aggregate losses for 1918 and
1919 under exemption to persona'
service corporations will approxi
nate $12 000,000, involving 2,500
:oi porations, the secretary wrote
idding that the need for immediate
egislation to meet this situation
irose "not so much from the possible
loss of revenue as from the
bvious undesirability of permitting
!,500 corporations and their stockholders
to escape the taxes upon the
1 ll. _ 1
urporauons and tnose imposed upon
ndividuals."
Chairman Fordney of the house
rays and means committee commenting
on Secretary Houston's
suggestion for a flat tax to supplant
he present graduated system said
he repeal of the $2,000 exemption
granted under present income laws
md the creation of a flat tax on a!1
nofits and incomes would result in
.owering the average tax from 22
Dor cent, to approximately 17 per
sent. ]
"Present taxes are based on the
Imposition of profits," he said, whi ^
lrder the proposed flat tax there
.vould be a straight assessment re- j
;ardloss of the disposition of the ,
axablc anuunts."
Representative Kithcin, Demoerrt i
North Carolina, however, said the
proposed change in the income an 1
excess profits taxes would "switcr. 1
ihe burdens from the war and peace
i3rofiteers to the little fellow's, least
capable of bearing the burden."
Present tax laws have the approval
3f President Wilson, Former Secre- i
Lary McAdoo and congress, he stal
ed, adding, "they are working satis- ,
factorily." ;
SHORTERSEASON !
FOR WILD TURKEYS:
The General Assembly has < 1 >sed
me season tor wild turkeys March
i cutting it down from April 1 as
it appears on the back of licenses,
and all turkey hunters will be warned.
Since March the season has b en
closed on all game animals and
birds within the borders of the
State. The sportsmen might as well
put away the old "smoke-iron" until
the first of next September, when
the season for deer and marsh hens
open. The only excuse for a man
being abroad with his gun now is to
kill predatory animals destroying
his property. All others carrying
guns have the finger of suspicion
resting on them. To shoot at any
time on or near a public highway,
unless a man owns the land on
both sides of it, is a misdemeanor
punishable under the terms of section
M9 of the Criminal Code.
Token as a whole, the local season
has been good for the hunters. The
drought interfered a good deal with
the partridge shooting. The duck
hoc;ting was good; hut better in the
Santee region than last season and
mover in the Edisto. This is perhups
due to food conditions. Deer
and turkey shooting has been good,
woodcock and snipe a negligible
quantity.
There are hundreds of thousands
f ducks of many varieties right

There has been a large sale
of fertilizers this year but never has
the amount of fertilizers delivered
been so small at this time of the

is from those principal factors;

Doses of ZIRON Iron Tonic.
Increase in appetite, the coming back

and other ills, are a few of the many
good results obtained from the use of a
new remedy (Ziron Iron Tonic).
Mr. Sim Urimsley, of Cordele, Ga.,
tried Ziron and has this to say:
"When 1 began to take Ziron, it seemed
that my whole system was run-down,
but soon after I began to take Ziron, 1
could eat more each day and would feel
a great deal better. Ever since it seems
that my health has been improving, as I
seldom have the headache or feel bad
