that new taxes were to be imposed
forthwith just as business was begin
ming to shake off the shackles of
depression.
No New Taxes Now
To a man, congress has replied that
there will be no new taxes this year.
If there are any disagreeable fin
ancial tasks to face next year the
next session Of congress can deal with
them. The congressional elections will
be over by then and something may
have turned up in the meantime to
reduce, rather than to increase the un-
welcome and undesirable deficit.
The country can rest assured that
its federal taxes for 1922 are fixed.
What may happen in 1923 remains
to be seen. Advocates of the sales
taxes are hoping that by that time
they may have been able to overcome
some Of the objections rasied thus far
to that revolutionary change in the
national tax system. The republicans
would like to establish a sales tax
before the next presidential election.

Chicago, April 22.-Grieyances cen
tering about the contract system en-
ploycd by some railroads in the han
ding of repair work has resulted in a
vote for distribution of strike ballots
to the 100000 members of the railway

vention of the department, which has
been in session here two weeks and
which concluded its sessions Saturday.
The vote to send out ballots was taken
Friday and officers declared that it
crush our organization completely
Expects Solid Vote For 1t
IF there is strike. and I feel sure
our men will vote solidly for it, it will
be IN protest of the action Of railways
in ignoring decisions of the United
States railway labor board" said B. NJ.

The labor board has pending several
complaints against the contract. or
farming out, system. 1t has been ex
pected decision would be rendered
soon after the conclusion of the pres
ent wage hearings.
Subterfuge to Cut Wages
'The carriers have arbitrarily re-
duced wages in defiance of the board"
said Mr.. Jewell 'They have restored
the farming out system. which is
mere subterfuge by which they dodge
labor board decisions.
"A year ago our membership was
overwhelmingly in favor of war in pro-
test against the II per cent reduction
already then announced and given eff
feet last July. When the date came,
however, we favored peace because
of assurances given by the labor board
that no further wage reduction would
be considered for some time
Go to Shops Not Under Control
Mr.. jewell said the wording of the
strike ballots was not yet determined,
but that the question was simple
to strike or not to strike He
added that the ballots would be sent
out soon and that the result of the
vote should be known within so days /
Mr.. Jewell charged that the roads
ARE lodging the boards rulings by
letting out contracts to shops not tech I

Confesses Holdup
in Starvation; Has
Repaid It; Is Freed

San Francisco, April 22.-John
N. Giler0y is a free citizen despite
the fact that Friday, when he was
tried In superior court here on a
charge Of robbery, he admitted from
the witness stand that he put on a
mask, took a revolver ans held up
storekeeper. The jury acquitted him
as an honest robber."
GiIeroy told the jury this story:
He had been out of WORK for some
time. His wife was III, E.s children
hungry. He took his revolver and
left the house. He went to the soft
drink establishment of William
Norman, masked himself. held up
Moorman. Giieroy took Sc from the
till, telling the proprietor of the
store that he needed that amount
for his family and that he would re-
turn it when he got a job.
He found work next day. Out of
his first weeks pay he paid Moor
man the $6, then went to the Hall
of Justice and surrendered.
Moorman confirmed the story.
The jury was out only long
enough to elect foreman and take
standing vote.

Mellon Has Been Prophet of Evil
Congress leaders somewhat reluct-
ant]y admit that Secretary Mellon's
prophecies in the past generally have
come true. The secretary has found it
necessary several times to breast the
current of popular opinion and tell
some very plain, if unpleasant, truths to
the lawmakers as to the condition of
the national finances. The secretary
has direct and businesslike ways. HI
has never forgotten his early training
which taught him that two and two
make four, and, being without po-
litical guile, he has told both house
and senate that if congress wants to
spend certain moneys, it must raise
certain other moneys to pay the bills
as they fall due. Congress has been
in the mood of saying charge it, of
late and letting the evil day when the
collector comes around take care of
itself.
Congress in Optimistic Mood
So congress today is optimistic as
will be no difficulty in meeting its
bills when they become due. Mr.. Mel
Ion would like to have the income in
sight before the money is spent or the
obligations contracted Congress feels
that it is time enough to worry about
a deficit when it arrives and not to
anticipate financial troubles a few
months before election.
Income tax returns under the new
law are disappointing. Even con-
gress will admit that. But congress
insists that the returns for 1922 will
show big increase over those for
1921 and, therefore, the deficit for

BY ROBERT T. SMALL,

Copydeh BY The eat Trbuns
Washington April Secretary Melons forecast of half
billion dollar deficit during the next fiscal has not fright
ened congress and there will be additional levied this
time to meet it. Congress recently reduced taxes slightly and
is not going to spoil pleasant reaction by raising them
the of a national election.
Congress has decided adopt the famous Asquan
of wait and See The republican leaders congress have
to look Mr. Mellon something Of pessmst They
feel that the secretary of the treasury lives atmosphere
of figures and they admit that at times figures discourage
ing But given little optimism and little political assurance
a deficit dissoves itself in the thin air
Great Falls tribune., 1922-04-23
1923 will not b. so great as the books
seem to show at this time.
Mellon Fears for Worse


Secretary Mellon. on the other hand
is fearful lest the half billion dollar
deficit be increased to three-quarters
Of a billion. In his estimate, he tool
no account of possible soldier bonus
legislation He reckoned not on shiT
subsidy law going through and ht
failed to calculate the money that may
be appropriated under river anc
barber bill
Congress is not worrying at this time
because it feels that business is on the
upgrade all over the country Better
business means more tax money for
the government. and though 1922 ad-
mittedly was lean year, congress
confidently believes the depression is
over and that normalcy is on t, way.
Congress Hearing From Country
1t has been perfectly apparent to
every one ever since the first income
tax returns under the new law were
announced. that big budget deficit
was in sight. There was no explanation,
toned in Mr. Melons statement Of
day or two ago.
Congress was quick to hear from
that statement. Word spread through
out the country that new taxes must
be levied and the people, breathing a
little easier for the first time since
the war, began to get a bowed down
feeling. Also they had an Impulse to
write to senators and representatives
The result has been a flood Of mes
sages to the capitol with not few
to the White House, if it was true
