New York, Nov. 29.-That there

"The so called luxury taxation is
not wise or consistent, and is a hit or

Concerning the income tax, the
principal discussion seems to be to-
naEAc
ward relieving the people having
small incomes from this taxation
THE disposition seems to be to
make the maximum of exemption
$4,000 instead Of $1,000 as now for a
single man, and double that for the
married man.
The heavy suriaxes now imposed
should be reduced in order to release

GRAIN slump END
NEAR, IS BELIEF
Appears to Be More Friendly
Feeling Toward Buying
Side, Especially en-
Breaks.

Chicago. Nov. 30 Omitted News).-
The slump in grain prices is believed
to be near an end.
For 81 days values have been on
the down grade. The decline /, has
been one Of the most severe known to
the history Of the trade.
But finally, there appears to be a
more friendly feeling toward the buy
ing side Of grains, especially on the
breaks. Traders predict a stronger
market Monday, but expect free sell
ing to be encountered on any sub
stantial advance. as there is no great
change in the economic and financial
conditions which have had such a de-
pressing effect.
Some members of the board of trade
are openly criticising a banking sys-
tenn that they say was unable to take
care of financing the farmers when
they most needed help.
The weekly statements of the fed
eral reserve banks reflected the re-
fusal of agricultural districts to liqui-
date their commodities in the face OF
declining prices.
Bankers complain that the process
of credit defation is being delayed
because farmers will not dispose of
their products and pay off their loans
to any extent commensurate with the
liquidation that is going on in the
industries n in merchandising.
The closing of a number of small
banks in agricultural communities is
pointed to as proof of this contene
ton.
