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. It

It is bot~h unscientific and inequitable

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

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

It is a great thing we are not going

The premier aix.)rc.4ss strong (on

relations with Russia, adding:
"There should be no more meddling

While the "wets" of the house were
iaking their fight, Attorney General
'homas F. McCran of New Jersey filed
uit in behalf of his state in the su

nconstitutional and to prevent fed

icy General Frierson, fixed Monday
or hearing arguments in the original
uit filed by Rhode Island and on the;,
lleals from Kentucky and Massachu

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. The enforce

the amendment, his b!Ill set forth, was
therefore null and void.

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.
For many years while I was perfecting my
formula I studied and Investigatod the
laxatives and cathartics -n the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they (lid nct act on tho bowels
but that their action was too violeut ar.d
drastic, and apeet the system of the user;
which was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, come
simply acting on the upper or a- I intes
tines, while others would act ont/ on tho
lower or large intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced a habit re
quiring augmented doaces,
I believed that a preparation to produce
the best effect mus-t first tono tio liver,
then set on the stomach and entire alimen
tary system. If this was accomplished, the
medicino would produce a mild, but
thorough elimination of thewastewithout
the usual sickening sensations, and make
the user feel better at once.
After experimenting with hundreds of
different compounds, I at last perfected the
