county, and at a late hour Monday
afternoon rendered a decision con-
tlnUlng the injunction whic hhe had

will debar the boar dof roads and
revenues from making further eff
forts to remove Mr.. Glenn from Of
fee, although it is understood the
board will hold q called meeting
here to make further investigations
of the matter.
The trouble between the board
and Collector Glenn grew out of an
alleged unpaid balance of the 1920
taxes, amounting to S13,886.8S,
which amount Mr.. Glenn claims he
deposited in a local bank, but that
checkages were made against his
tax collectors account to cover u
personal Indebtedness. The bank de-

HARDING EXPLAINS
FARM F|NANCINC

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Governor
Harding, of the federal reserve board,
took the stand today before the joint
congressional agricultural committee,
to reply to charges that the fiscal
system had disseminated against
the farmers in favor of Wall street
spectators" made by John Shelton
Williams, former comptroller of the
currency.
AS the ground work for his reply,
Mr.. Harding made an elaborate ex-
PLANTATION of the operation of the
system, especially relating to farm
financing.
Congress did not seek to estab-
lsh central bank when it created
the federal reserve system" said
Mr.. Harding, but added that the board
could mobilize credits and force
reserve banks to extend credits to
other banks in the system.
I'VE frequently ask reserve banks
In one section of the country to take
up the credits of reserve banks in an
other. section" said Mr. Harding.
Although the loan gives the federal
reserve board the power to fix re-
discount rates, Mr.. Harding declared
that the board has never met in SOL
emn conclave' and ordered a bank
to fix any rate. 1t has frequently
made suggestions in such matters,
he added
Beginning his direct reply to Mr..
Williams, the governor of the re-
serve system read extracts from a
report of the former comptroller of
The currency, dated December 6,
1870. In this report Mr.. Williams
gave the splendid efficiency OF the
federal reserve board credit for saw
ing this country from financial dis
asterS.
Criticism of federal reserve system
credit policies which was continued
Wednesday before a congressional
committee by. John Shelton Williams,
former comptroller of the currency,
aroused resentment on the part of
the systems highest officers, Gov
ernor Harding of the reserve board
and Governor Strong, of the New
York reserve bank. In one of the
FREQUENT verbal interchanges Gov
ernor Harding charged across the
committee room swinging his fist, but
was halted by struggling associates
just in front of his adversary, who
remained cool, but was rising for
the threatened encounter.
A few minutes later Mr.. Strong,
while reading to the committee a
report which charged Mr.. Williams
with false and misleading state
ments" was interrupted by the
former comptroller who shouted:
"That statement of yours is false"
Governor Strong, however, con-
tinued reading and presently referred
of his prerogatives."
"And that's a lie. too," the latter
interjected.
Sat this point I request the COM
mittee to require the comptroller to
make oath, whether he has stated
the whole truth or not, Governor
Strong acclaimed.
Chairman Anderson ruled among
the confusion that sit was not feast
BILE to adopt the policy at this stage
Of the game"
Mr.. Williams charged that "exces-
slve collateraP' had been demanded
OF borrowers by certain federal re-
serve banks, in some instances, he
said, as much as $50 to 100 per cent
additional collateral"

MANY TAX CHANGES
URGED BY MELLON

WASHINGTON, Aug. A cut of
more than $25O,O0O,OOO in the ordin-
airy expenditures of the government
this fiscal year is necessary if adj
ditional taxes are to be avoided. the
house ways and means committee
was informed today by Secretary
Mellon. On present estimates, he
said, the total government cost this
year will be $4,550,OOO,O 900, of which
alton.
Even with the suggested reduc-
tons, Mr.. Mellon said, the internal
revenue yield for the year could not
safely be permitted to fall below So
570,0O0,000, the estimated yield un-
Ger existing law"
The treasury secretary told the
committee that actual expenditures
for the first full month of this fiscal
year indicated that unless there was
AN extraordinary new effort to re-
duce expenditures" the estimate
which the treasury had presented
might be regarded as conservative.
Ordinary expenditures for July, he
said, amounted to about 1922 100000
as against $3O7,0J0,000 for July, 1920,
while the current deficit last month
was S113,0O0,00O, as against $76,OOO,-
600 in the same month year ago.
IAN analysis of the principal items
of expenditure for July, 1921" the
secretary continued, shows that
S59.00O,000 was on account of the
war department, $56,000,000 on &C
count of the navy and $32,000,000 on
account of the shipping board. If eN-
penditures are to continue at any
think like these rates, the estimates
will be greatly exceeded"
Excluding the suggested increase
of L cent in first-class mail rates
and the 2-cent tax on bank checks,
Mr.. Mellon estimated that the pro
posed revision of taxes law would
$3.50, OOO 900 and $3,2S3, 100000 in
the fiscal year 1928. His estimates
assumed the following changes:
Increase in the corporation income
tax to Is per cent as of January l,
1921 Cor January 1, 1929. and the
repeal of the $4,000 exemption.
Repeal of the excess profits tax, as
of January l, 1921 Cor January /,
Increased collections of back in
come and profit taxes.
An increase tax on cigarettes ana
smoking and chewing tobacco.
Repeal of the transportation tax
up freight and passengers; tht tax
to be reduced one-half, January l,
1922; and entirely repealed January
l, 1928.
An increase of the documentary
stamp taxes. by approximately dou-
bling the present rats so as to yield
an additional $30,0O0,OOO.
The license tax upon motor We
hicles, averaging about $40 apiece,
and to be graded according to power.
Repeal of the tax on ice cream and
fountain drinks as of January l,
1922.
Revision of the income tax rates,
with maximum sur tax rate reduced
to 80 per cent.
Repeal of. the so-called luxury taxes
on wearing apparel, carpets, rugs,
trunks. valises and the like.

rules committee Thursday morning
allotted fifteen minutes for debate
for and against the bill and Repre-
sentative Malone delivered a speech.
He declared that the bill was not
in the interest of the poor people of
Macon, but was bill to create a
car to govern that city, and if
car was right for Macon he could
see no reason why the state and the
United States should not be similar
ly governed.
Representatives Fowler and Win
ship, the other mem bers of the Bibb
delegation, spoke in favor of the bill,
They stated that 200 registered vot-
ers of Macon had signed a petition
asking for the passage of the bill
with referendum. They contended
that the people of Macon could settle
the question one way or the other
for the best interest of the city and
should be allowed that privilege
