G. O. P. LEADERS REACH
TAX PROGRAM DECISION
President Harding and the Republican
Leaders in Conference at
White House.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Taxes will
be reduced $6OO,000,O00 and there
will be no new taxes levied, except a
small increase in the corporation tax.
This was decided upon at confer
ence at the White House at which
President Harding, Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and Republican
leaders of the house agreed to slash
government expenditures and reduce
the tax burden even more than the
house ways and means committee
had contemplated.
The tax program as decided upon
at the conference includes the fol-
lowing:
Repeal of the excess profits tax,
retroactive to January /, 1921.
Repeal of so per cent of the trans
portation taxes on January 1, 1922,
and the other so per cent on January
l, 1923.
Reduction of the higher brackets Of
income surtaxes to 80 per cent, retro
active to January /, 1921, and to 20
per cent on January 1, 1922. The nor
NAL income tax remains at 8 uer cent
and is in addition to the surtax.
Increase in the fiat tax on corpora
tons from 10 per cent to 1272 per
cent, instead of 10 per cent, as con-
templated by the ways and means
committee.
Definite announ cement was made
after the conference that the pro-
posed taxes on automobiles and bank
checks and the increase in postage
rates recommended by Secretary Mel
Ion would not be adopted.
Reduction of the existing taxes
without imposing new levies was
made possible by a slash Of $3OO,OOO,-
600 agreed upon for expenditures of
the federal government departments
during the present fiscal year. The
new cut of $3OO,OOO,OO0 is in addition
to the cut of $112,OO0O0O0 made by
Charles G. Dawes soon after he be-
came director of the budget. The
total cut in government expenditures
during the present year, therefore,
will be $412,0O0,000.
In addition to the cut in expendi-
lures, it was decided that expendi-
lures on account Of the public debt
will be reduced $17O,O0O,O0O. This in
cludes the refunding of approximate
ly $100,0O0,O0O in War Savings
stamps and of $70,00O,0O0 in treasury
certificates that fall due about the
first of the year.
The remainder of the reduction In
taxes will be made up by an increase
of $16O,0O0,000 in salvage from sur
plus war supplies and materials and of
$1OOOOO.000 in the collection of back
taxes.

PRESIDENT SENDS
D|SARM INVITATION
Message Sent to Powers Puts
Naval Limitations First.
TO MEET ON ARMISTlcE DAY
Bids to Britain, France, Italy and
Japan Are Identical Slight
Change in the One Sent
to China.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Formal invi-
1ations were sent to Great Britain,
France, Italy, Japan and China to
attend the conference on disarmament
and Far Eastern questions at Wash
1ngton November IL.
The invitations are identical and
brief, except to China. They will be
sent directly to the foreign Office and
copies handed to the diplomatic repre-
Sentatives of the powers here.
The communications place no linn
1tation on the scope of the discussion
ito be had.
First Place to Naval Disarmament.
1t is suggested, however, that the
question of naval ornaments may
naturally have first place." though it
has been thought best not to exclude
questions pertaining to other arma-
ment from the subjects to be consid-
cred by the conferees.
1t is hot the purpose of the United
States government, the invitation
adds, to define the scope to the Pa
cific and Far Eastern discussions,
"but rather to leave this to be the sub
ject of suggestions to be exchanged
before the meeting of the conference"
The communication to China does
not include an invitation to the dis
armament conference, but only re-
quest to participate in the Pacific and
Far Eastern discussions.
Acceptances Certain.
Preliminary negotiations have made
certain the acceptance of the invita-
tions and of agreement to open the
conference on ArmiStice day. 1t is
expected that the acceptances will
each nation expects to send and Incl
dental exchanges with the State de-
partment are expected to show the
total number of individuals who will
come with each mission TO assist the
official representatives as experts and
otherwise.
Upon the receipt OF this informa ton,
details of caring for the visitors can
be worked out. Questions of housing
the missions and selection of build
ing for the principal conference meet
dngs and the many minor conferences
are being studied here, and within a
few days an estimate of the money
required will be submitted to Director
of the Budget Dawes.
No Preliminary Conferences.
Further exchanges of opinion on the
agenda will probably continue All
thought of preliminary conferences has
heen abandoned, but the State depart
ment has made it clear to the repre-
sentatives of the invited powers that
there is every disposition here for
fun and frank preliminary expression
of opinion on what subjects should be
discussed.
The final arrangement of the agenda,
however, probably will be made only
after the conference meets.

League Commissions Conclusions to
Be Conveyed UnofficiaiIy to

New York, Aug. 10.-In connection
with disarmament conference called
by President Harding, steps have been
taken to acquaint the State depart
ment with conclusions reached by the
reduction of ornaments commission
of the League of Nations. This an
nouncement is made by the League of
Nations news bureau, which adds that
because of refusal of the department
to recognize formal communications
from the league the steps had to be
taken unofficially. 1t is explained that
the league commission is considering
the disarmament question from tech
nical rather than political point of
view,

Inquiry at the hospital yesterday
elected the information that Tighe
was not kept in the psychopathic ward,
but was in the prison ward. DR.. NJ. s.
Gregory. in charge of the psyche
pathic ward. was absent yesterday.
1t was said that no definite conclu-
sions as to Tighs's mental condition
would be reached until tomorrow.
It was pointed out that the keepers
at the Tombs Prison had never noticed
anything unusual or wrong with the
clubber since his confinement there.
These men insist that he ate his meals
regularly, rested quietly at night and
altogether acted in manner that Of
fered not the slightest suggestion Of q
disturbed mental condition.
DR.. Lichtenstein said that Tighe had
displayed signs of a temporary form of
insanity for some time. While the de-
tective was not violent, he added, he
would have become violent if he had
been confined longer in the Tombs.
Lacks Facilities in Tombs
He said he had been trying TO treat
Tighe in prison, but that inasmuch as
the facilities for such treatment were
inadequate in the Tombs- he thought it
advisable to recommend his removal
for observation to Bellevue. The doc
tor did not feel inclined to express his
opinion as to. the type of Tighe's al
