A stranger, whom we consid-
cred gentleman hit us up early
Monday morning for the price of
breakfast. for which he offered
to wash our windows. Now we
will admit that the windows

price of breakfast after asking
him if it was impossible for him
to get work. mo, | just came in

100000 BUSHELS.

1t is estimated by John Hoene
one of our local hardware deal
ers that judging from the
amount of twine that has been
sold in Cottonwood, which is
considered very good indicator,
that 100000 bushels of grain
should come into the local ware
houses this fall. He places the
Ferdinand estimte at 100000
bushels.

PROPOSE new TAX.
ON ALL MOTORS.
MAY RAISE POSTAGE TAR.
IFF ON TOBACCOS IN
NEW MEASURE.

A tax of two cents on bank
checks, a flat license tax of SO
on all automobiles, irrespective
of cost or horsepower, an in
crease of first-class postage
rates to 8 cents and an added
levy on cigars, tobacco and Gig
arettes are understood to have
Eeen among tax revision sug-
gestions presented today by
Secretary Mellon to the house
ways and means committee,
meeting in executive session.
Other suggestions were said
to have included:
A reduction of so per cent in
transportation taxes, both pass
enger and freight, next year,
and their elimination the year
following.
Repeal of the taxes on soda
fountain drinks and ice cream.
Repeal of the excess profits

sent 10 per cent to Is per cent.
Elimination of the income sur
tax brackets above 40 per cent,
with the surtaX rates on incomes
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000

To Raise S4,000,00O, 900.
The revenue bill, as revised in
accord with these suggestions,
would be designated to raise ap-
proximately $4,000,000, 900 next
year it was said. Mr.. Melons
memorandum embodying h is
views was withheld. but Chair
man Fordney promised to make
it public tomorrow.
Representative Garner of Tex
as, the ranking democratic men,
ber of the committee, attacked
the treasury secretary's pro-
posals, declaring that every one
of them constituted a shifting
"of the tax burden from the
classes to the masses"
Mr.. Mellon was said to have
estimated government expendi-
lures for next year at S4,675,-
900, 900, but Chairman Fordney
said this was dependent on how
much of the $500,00O,0OO due
the railroads would have to lie
advanced out of the federal
treasury, the cost of operating
the government merchant fleet
and the size of expenditures for
the arm and navy.
Estimates Income SS0O,OO0,0O0.
Aside from internal taxes, the
treasury secretary was under
stood to have estimated customs
receipts for next year at $780,
100000 and miscellaneous re-
ceipts, including salvage, at
$350,000,000. He was said to
have figured that the $40 license
tax on automobiles would bring
in $100,0O0,000 and that added
levy on cigars, tobacco and cigar
cites an additional S25,000,000.
Increased postal rates have been
estimated to yield another $780,
100000, but the estimate as to
the income from the proposed
tax on bank checks was not dis
closed. The loss of revenue
through reduction of the trans
portation taxes have been placed
at approximately $150,000,000.

HARTFoRD's GRAND OLD MEN.

After an absence of couple of

consists chiefly in setting out front

is peculiar respect we younger
folks pay to age where the blessing
of age follows an honorable and use
full active career. Each of these has
in his time played a useful part in
the development of the town and the
county, and there are few men of mid

for whom some one or more of these
men have not done a favor requiring
earnest and lasting gratitude. Truly
are they our grand old men,.
