HEAL TAX REVISION
MAY YET BE MADE
BEFORE ADJOURNING
WASHINGTON, May 1.—The out
look for tax revision is not as dis !
couroging as it may seem on the
surface.
Announcement of the details of the
democratic plan sponsored by Sena
tor Simmons of North Carolina, bears
out predictions made several weeks
ago that the senate would reveal a
more conservative attitude as a whole
on tax matters than did the house,
j and that the leaders who felt it ne
cessary to get some bill rather than
I none through the lower branch oi
congress acted wisely.
For again this year, as in previ
ous years, the real tax bill is be
ing written in the senate with the
prospect that today’s bill with a 23
per cent reduction on earned in
comes will phss.
The insurgent republicans in the
House started out with an extreme
program which meant no change in
the present surtax rates. The Garner
i plan was a cut to to 41 per cent sur
! taxes as against the 25 per cent re
! commended by Secretary Mellon.
The compromise offered by Repre
sentative Longwurth and accepted by
the Republican insurgents was at
37per cent.
Nov; the democrats in the Senate
instead ot sticking to 44 per cent
rate have taken practically the Long
worth plan with modifications and
thus the fight will be in the Senate
between the 374^ per cent rate urged
by the democrats and insurgent re
publicans, and the 25 per cent rates
accepted by the Senate committee
today.

ML M’KINLEY SINKING
DUE TO EARTHQUAKES
Tradition has it that Mount Mc
Kinley in interior Alaska, the loftiest
peak on the American continent, is
sinking about two feet a year.
Residents of the region are con
vinced that, this happens. They point
out that there is an average of four
earthquake shocks a year and con
tend that the mountain settles about
six inches with each tremor.
By way of attempted confirmation
they refer to the Aleutian islands.
According to recent reports from
scientists no one can state the loca
tion or altitude of these islands as
one day they will appear well above
the water and the next day may
have disappeared.
Numerous small islands including
Bogosiov, are reported to have dis
appeared without a trace. Bogosiov
is recalled as the island which sud
denly appeared while the crew of
the coast guard cutter Bear looked
on, in 1906.
For the topographical freaks the
blame is placed on Mount Katmai
and Pavlof volcanoes which intermit
tently send out dense clouds of flame
and smoke.
