Replace Graduated Scale
Urged by Secretary
Ot Treasury.
Washington, March 17. Income
' and excess profits taxes cannot be
reduced until Y)ii Secretary ilous
"ton today wrote the house ways and
v' "leans committee, urging an imme
diate simplification of these taxes and
' substitution of a flat tax. on gross
-: profits instead of the graduated rates
of 20 and 40 per cent
. Only very moderate reductions
" may be made in the calendar year of
i'192.?, collected in 1923. the secre-
tary wrote. Under the plan of a
',. flat tax, the letter stated, "it would
be possible to adopt a declining
Irate, say of 25 per cent for the first
year in whtciT the change is in op
; eration, 20 per cent for the second
- year, and IS per cent thereafter.
' Unless actiou is taken at .he pres
' ent session of congress, Mrs. llous
; r ton said, existing taxes "must con
tinue to be collected on the basis of
the present law until the close of
b- the calendar year 1922." Such a
''condition, he wrote, "is 'contemplat
' ed with the gravest apprehension."
Immediate losses to the govern
"ment under the supreme court de
- cision that stock dividends are not
taxable will ' approximate $105,
v 000,000, the letter stated. Mr. Hous-
. tnn AAtA Y rv0rr vr-iaf fris lilt!-
V mate loss would be only $25,000,000,
as such of the original loss would
be regained through the sale of
stocks and subsequent taxes on
'. them.- The secretary estimated that
" $35,000,000 collected in 1918 would
have to be refunded and $70,000,000

FRANCE DEMANDS

Chaos, Declare Leading
Minds.
v
Kew York Times-Chicago Tribune, Cable.
Copyrlcbt, Kit.
F(iris, March 17. Ratify the peace
treaty immediately with or without
reservations they do not matter
but -speedy ratification is essential.
This is the attitude of .France to
ward the treaty now being dragged
through an apparent endless sea of
debate and controversy in the Amer
ican senate. There are two shades
of opinion here regarding the
treaty. They include: v '
Those who favor"' it as it now
stands interwoven with the cove
nant of the league of nations.
Those who are against it because
the league of nations' covenant is
included in it.
Both Want, Pact.
Both want the treaty ratified by
America immediately. The first
class because it will pull France out
of the quicksand of economic chaos
into which it is rapidly sinking. They
contend that speedy ratification by
America will stabilize the unsettled
economic condition in France and
Europe; readjust international ex
changNto the mutual benefit of
both Europe and America and bring
dojwn-the cost of living, which has
soared more than 200 per cent since
the armistice was signed.
Behind this class stands the
French foreign office, which has
semi-officially announced its desife
for ratification with .the Lodge res
ervations. The Quay d'Orsay has
not onlyv approved, but has in
structed Ambassador, Jusserand in
Washington to bend all his energies
toward the accomplishment of this.

Dandruff Surely
Destroy the Hair
Girls if you want plenty of
thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair,
do by ajl means get rid of dandruff,
for it will starve your hair and ruin
it if you don't.
It 'doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash it out. The only
sure way to get rid of dandruff is
to dissolve it, then you destroy ilJ
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough - to moisten the scalp and
rub iftin gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of
ytfur dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de
stroy every single sign and trace
of it. s. .
ou will find, too, thai all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop, and your hair'will look and
feel a hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need,, no mat
ter how much dandruff you have.
This simple remedy never fails.
