Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 3.
A big cut must be made in Secretary
OF the Treasury Melons tentative esti-
mate Of $4,000, 900. 900 for government
expenses during the current fiscal year,
declared Republican members of the
House Ways and Means Committee who
are framing the new tax bill. They hope
billion dollar reduction can be made
Several members believe that in no cir
cumstances should the Government be
allowed to spend more than $4,000. Ooo.-
e00
1t Is realized that only by such action
will the Republican Administration be
able to make good it's pledge Of tax re-
duction. Secretary Mellon will appear
before the committee tomorrow to give
his views as to where cuts can be made.
Director OF the Budget Dawes may also
be called.
To accomplish such a reduction COM
mittee members say Shipping Board and
railroad appropriations must be cut to
lures reduced. new and extravagant
legislation blocked and general econ
omies effected throughout the Govern
ment.
The feeling that Congress also must
stop what might be called its personal
extravaganza Is growing. In the House
to-day. due to the work Of Representa-
tive Mann and Representative Garrett
(Tenn.), a bill appropriating 100000
to pay the freight charges on war
trophies to all parts of the country was
recommitted TO the Military Committee
by a vote of 103 to 80.
If the billion dollar reduction can be
accomplished, and the committee appar-
emily intends to provide less revenue
than the Treasury actually believes will
be necessary. the present taxes can be
reduced about s500,000.0 900. If the total
revenues can be cut TO $4,000, 900, 600 the
tax bin would have to produce only
about $4,000, 100000. as the tariff and
miscellaneous revenues would make up
the balance.
The committee is strongly opposed 10
enactment Of new taxes on automobiles
and bank checks and to Increasing the
postage rate as proposed by Mr.. Mellon.
Instead IL would like to see expenditures
cut so that the excess profits and the
ice cream and soda water taxes could
be repealed and the surtax rates reduced
without substitution of anything except
increase OF the fiat tax on corporations
from 10 to Is per cent
Assurances have been received from
the House Appropriations Committee
that the Shipping Boards request for
funds will be cut from $125.000. 900 to
SS5. 100000 or sac. 100000. Movements
also are under way to block the matern-
ity bill and other legislation likely TO
call for large drafts on the Treasury.

the farm now owned by G., E. Arlington,
three miles from Point Pleasant.
When Mr.. Bryan reached the little
graveyard he found the monument
broken into small pieces. He was visibly
affected and asked r. y. Bell to see that
appropriate stones were placed at the
graves.
Mayor John J. Dover this morning ad-
dressed q letter to Mr.. Bell. asking him
20 obtain the permission OF Mr.. Bryan

President Harding will not act on

until after a proclamation of peace has
been promulgated. 1t was learned to-
night from reliable official sources.
The Presidents probable course, it

doubt still exists in regard to the time OF
issuance of the proclamation.

officials said the Attorney-General IL
not expected to report to the President
on the advisability and general form
of a peace proclamation, pursuant to the
Knox-Porter resolution passed by Con-
gress, until after President Harding

eral Daugherty and President Harding

ton OF the peace proclamation. Officials

can expect proclamation as soon as
the President returns, but indicated
some little time may elapse before a
decision is reached on the matter.
1t was said that Mr.. Daugherty will
be prepared to make full report to
the President concerning the proclama-
ton as soon as he reaches Washington.
