NO DRASTIC
TAX CUT FOR
z MONTHS
Treasury Deficit and Also
Heavy Expense VIII
Prevent Reduction.

Washington, Jan. 22.-United
Presa.) = Drastic tax reductions
will be impossible during the first
year of the incoming administra-
ton, leading members of the house
believed today.
The reason is tint with q big
deficit hanging over the treasury,
appropriation bills for the fiscal
year beginning July ! thus far re-
ported from the house appropria-
tions committee show an increase
over those Of the present year.
The total appropriations, perma-
nent and annual for the next year,
cannot be cut to less than $3,OO0,-
100000, Republican Leader Mondell
and Representative Good, Iowa,
chairman Of the. appropriations
committee, agreed.
Even should there be some unex-
pected economy to take expendi-
lures below this, hope for taxation
reduction is slight because the pres
ent business depression probably
will decrease tax receipts.
Thus far seven bills have been re-
ported from the appropriations
committee. Compared with the sim
liar appropriations for the present
year, they show a net increase Of
$13, 500 900. Mondell and Good
however, are confident that the total
appropriations will show decrease
but admit it will be only "a few
hundred million"

Ambassador \to
Japan Discusses Cali
fornia Alien Law.

New York, Jan. 22.-Discussing
what he termed "the California ISL
sue," in an address today before
the University club, Roland S. Nor
ris, American ambassador to Japan,
declared that the japanese were
fearful that California having de-
vised the plan of classifying aliens
on the basis of their eligibility to
citizenship, might use this method
not. only in property rights, but
also in personal rights.
Ambassador Morris, who has
been conducting the negotiations
with Baron Shidehara, the Japan
ese ambassador, with a vi,w to lay
ing the basis Of q treaty between
the United tSates and pan, fur
ther declared that the Japanese
protest against the California anti
alien land law, presented to the
American the question Of whether
in the larger view of Americas re-
lations with the Orient, it. is wise
to classify aliens on the basis OF
their eligibility to citizenship.
Presenting the issue involved in
the present negotiations, Mr.. Morris
asked that it be borne in the mind
that the Japanese were not COM
planning because its nationals resi-
dent in the United States are incl

greater rights for its nationals than

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance. atsn
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
VINO are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
mas been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp. Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the hig CHEST for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
)ected is because kidney trouble is 50
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica..
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr: kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
hrst to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE coffee
market was quiet again today. The
promise of continued support by
the Brazilian government does not
appear to have timulated demand
either in the primary markets or
here. On the contrary traders are
evidently inclined to wait for a
better line on just how the present
valorization plan will work out, and
in some quarters at least, the Bra
lillian governments buying basis is
referred to as practically fixing
price slightly above which consum-
ing markets should be able to OBJ
tain ample supplies. At any rate
buyers for domestic consumption
apparently persist in operating
only as their requirements develop
and the recent reports from Brazil
have quite as evidently failed TO
attract a broadening speculative in
terest.
The official cables showed an ad-
vance of 200 reis in the dollar buy
ing rate and quoted Rio unchanged

were 75 TO 100 reis higher and late
