CUT TAX RATE FOR AVERAGE
 MAN. DEMAND
tBy United Press)


 Washington, March 16.-A reduc- tion in the income taxes which the average man must pay will be de- manded by the bipartisan group in congress when proposals are sub mitted fer lowering the rates on big incomes.
 Democratic members of the house and senate have informed the Repub- lican majority they will oppose any reduction in the taxes of the wealthy classes unless equal reductions are granted to people earning less than 5000 annually.
 Proposals so far submitted to con- gress call only for the elimination of excess profits and surtax decreases, the latter applying to incomes above S5,O0O, Counter proposals to be sub- mitted by the Democrats will provide for reduction of the normal income tax rate, now four per cent. Some Democrats favor a reduction to two per cent.
 Other changes suggested are that the minimum for single persons be placed at S1 ,500 and for married per sons S2,500. Representative Roden- burg of Illinois claims that 5000 is too small an exemption for children and suggests that the law be amend ed to allow an exemption of $400 or $500 for each child.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 27-The Cen ter College football eleven, conquer ors of Harvard, overwhelmed the University of Arizona Wildcats on muddy field here yesterday, with the rain pouring down and most of the seats unoccupied. The score was 38 to 0, the Westerners being out classed in every department by the Colonels, who scored almost at will.
 The field. soaked by an eight-day rain, more resembled a quagmire than gridiron and there was con siderable talk of postponing the con test. But both teams were in con dition and the Fasteners hard pressed for time and postponement would have meant a cancellation Of the meeting.
 This city is virtually isolated to- day as a result Of the steady rain. No trains are being operated in con sequence of washouts, and the auto traffic also is halted because of the loss of bridges and damage to roads. Flood conditions prevail in various sections of San Diego county and residents have been warned that serious danger threatens. The peak of the flood waters is expected to reach the valley tonight.

their suggested figure of 90,000 tons to the 91,00O figure contained in the American plan. Neither is it known that the Japanese intend to recede from their flat refusal to ac- cept the program.
 The submarine controversy gives promise of furnishing the basis of many informal discussions among the delegates, in an effort to find an acceptable plan of settlement The situation, it is generally admitted, appears to offer little promise of ar early agreement
 The Italian delegates have ex- pressed the belief that Italy cannot possibly accept the American plan unless Italy is given the same sub- marine tonnage as France.
 The American delegates point out that the submarine proposal gives both Italy and France more submarines than they would be en- titled to under the naval ratio agree ment, and the offer, on the part of the United States, is described as generous, as the plan would involve the scrapping of more than 30,000 tons of underseas craft

PUBLICITY MAN ARRIVES
 TO PREPARE R. R. STORY

Jack Lincke, publicity man of the Anchorage Daily Times, was 4 through passenger on the train from the coast on Sunday. enroute to the. Interior end of the railroad to gather data for a story which is preparing to give publicity to the completion of the Government rail road
 Mir Lincke, who is a journalistic free lance, returned to Anchorage recently from stay of two months in the States, bringing back with him a cheering message to all Alas kans, relative to the prosperity that is bound to come with the compIe- ton of the railroad.
 Among the more important items of information he brings is the news that the Campfire Club of America. which is composed of the leading sPortsmen and mountaineers of the nation, will come in force to the In terior next summer for the purpose of dedicating Mount Mckinley Ma tIonal Park. The club is undertaking this pilgrimage under the auspices of The Brooklyn Eagle, and will in- clude in its personnel representatives of that newspaper, as well as photo graphers, movie men and lovers of the great outdoors. No definite in formation as to the number of per sons making fhe trip has been re- ceived as yet, by MT Lincke is Of the opinion there will be several hundred at least.
 As further evidence of the grow ing popularity of Alaska, as direct result of the completion of the Gov ernment railroad, Mr. Lincke says that following rhe publication in the Seattle Sunday Times recently, of illustrated articles on Alaska, he was beseiged with inquiries from men who wished to come North. He de voted two hours daily during his stay there, to answering these in- quiries, which ranged all the way from men and women seeking em- ployment, homesteaders and pros pectors, to men with considerable capital, anxious to know of the op- portunities offered for safe invest ment and development, particularly in the railroad belt and the country served directly by the road.
 Mir Lincke is now engaged in preparing a series of articles for Worlds Work" and is making the trip over the railroad to gather the necessary information. He will also prepare a story on the driving of the golden spike for The Associated Press.
 Mr Lincke will return to Nenana on the next train from Fairbanks.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 27- The suggestion that the whole sub- marine question be left to future world conference, gained increasing prominence at today's session of the Arms conference.
