BUDGET HEAD PLANS
TOCUT EXPENSES Of
i. s, TO 8 BILLIONS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-An eff
fort now is being made by the fed
eral budget bureau to cut govern
mental expenditures fC.' the next fis-
cal year down to the three-billion-
dollar mark.
If the federal expenses can be cut
to this figure, it will represent a re-
duction of about $750,000,000 from
the expenditures for the current fiS-
cal year. This saving with receipts
of about 100000 900 expected from
interest on the foreign debt, will
make possible a further large reduc-
ton in taxes during the next year.
The budget for the next fiscal year,
which begins July 1, 1928, will be
submitted to congress when it meets
in regular session early in Decen-
Der.
General II. M. Lord successor to
Hell Maria Dawes, the first fed
eral budget director, is forcing heads
OF many governmental bureaus to cut
their financial requests.
Some officials are predicting that
taxes within the next year can be
slashed as much as they were by the
present congress, which was approx
mately $S00,O00,00O a year.
These predictions exclude the pos
sibility of passing a soldier bonus
bill which would cause expenditures
of hundreds of millions from the
treasury.
Even if expenditures are cut next
year to $4,000 100000, the cost of run
ming the government still will be
double the amount expended before
the war. Much of the increase can
be charged to the war, officials de-
clare, pointing to the fact trat tine
interest on the war debt and the sink
ing fund for its retirement account
for more than 81 ,000,0 0U,UU a year.
There is certain to be a strong
demand in congress for further re-
duction in army and navy expendi-
lures. The drive of the little army
and navy forces will be centered
against the army appropriation bill,
since naval expenditures soon will
be more or less fixed by the Wash
ington conference treaties.
Just how much will be asked of
congress by the budget bureau for
the army and navy has not yet been
determined

TARIFF IS FLAYED

IN PEORIA SPEECH

| PEORIA, ILL.,, Oct. 23.-Interna-
| tional cooperation to prevent war
and a sound basis for agriculture
are among the biggest problems con-
fronting the nation, William G. Nc
Adoo, former secretary of the treas
ury, declared here Saturday night in
a Democratic campaign address. He
charged that the Republican admin
istration had by a policy of def1a-
ton destroyed prosperity, and at
tackled the Fordney -McCumber tariff
| bill.
"It is estimated that the cost of
living to the American people will
be increased by the FCrdney Nc
Cumber bill s4DOO,OO0,O0O per an
mum, of which only $400,000,000 will
go into the federal treasury" he
said.
The speaker charged that the
stroy American foreign trade and
keep the American, markets for
monopolists, declaring that the de.
struction and restriction of foreign
trade "does direct an irreparabl in
jury to- the American farmer and
working man."

Mr.. McAdoo said, "the farmer must

her mother be seated? Please sug-
gest a toast for the occasion. y
A. The bride should be seated at
the right of the hostess; the brides
mother at her left. A toast to a
bride may be given either at the be-
ginning of a luncheon or at the con-
clusion; such toast as: eve drink
to the bride-may her love story be

70. When We're matches invent
ed?
A. In the seventeenth century
Godfrey Haukwitz, of England, pro-
duced a substance which would ig-
mite by friction and into which
splinters of wood were dipped. This
is probably the origin of the Lucifer
match. In 1906 a phosphorus bot
tle," into which sticks or matches,
coated with sulphur were thrust,
was invented by man named Chan
eel, of Paris. The first Lucifer fric-
ton matches to be commercially de-
veloped were made by an Austrian,
named Treaschel, of Vienna, Aus
tria, in 1888.
SO. Where is the key of the
Bastille?
A. This huge key was presented
to General Washington by Lafay-
cite, and hangs in a frame in the
hall at Mt. Vernon.
90. What is the :egend about a
bird removing thorns from the crown
placed on the head of Christ?
A. The medieval legend is that the
crossbill, a bird of the family Of
finches, whose bill is peculiarly
formed, enabling it to extract sub
stances deeply imbedded, worked at
the thorns of Christ's crown, seeking
to extract them, and it's plumage be-
came stained with blood. For this
act of mercy it was blessed by the
dying Savior.
DO. How much will a mag
net lift?
A. A piece of hardened tool steel
in the shape of a horseshoe can be
magnetized to lift approximately 10
pounds per square inch. AS the
cross section is increased, the
length must be increased proper
tionateIy to retain this strength per
unit area.

MRS. VINSON GIVEN
LIFE IMPRISONMENT
ON MURDER CHARGE
Continued from Page u

tered in behalf of Mrs. Vinson by
her attorney, Samuel Hewlett.
Mrs. Vinson remained seated, her
head bowed, while the sentence
was imposed, and she made no COM
ment. She will be taken to the state
farm next week, it was stated Sat-
urday by Sheriff J. I. Lowry.
Among the several unusual as
poets presented by the Vinson case
was that she was one of the few
women in the history of the state
upon whom the death penalty has
been imposed.
Another interesting feature is
that a superior court jury in the
civil division several weeks ago
granted Mrs. Vinson, then under
death sentence, share in the estate
of her late husband, along with the
Vinson children.
AT her trial, Mrs. Vinson was rep
resented by Attorney Hewlett
Judge Newt Norris and Attorney
John A. Dorsey. The prosecution
was conducted by Solicitor General
John A. Boykin, assisted by the firm
of Branch & Howard, who were re-
tanned by the two sons of DR.. Vim
| son.
SONS OF DIR. VINSON
NOT PLEASED AT SENTENCE
Dissatisfaction over the sentence
of life Imprisonment imposed Satur
day on Mrs. Cora Lou Vinson as a
substitute for the original sentence
! of death for the murder of her hus
band, DR.. w. D. Vinson, was ex
| pressed in a statement given out
Saturday night by w. B. and TilIie
| D. Vinson, sons of of the slain man
The statement follows:
! 1--WE are speaking to the public
! and the people of Georgia to let
| them know exactly how we feel
about the way the case terminated
! We both were shocked and grieved
when we were told her sentence
! had been changed to life imprison
ment. We were hurt and always
will be hurt, for we have not re.
ceived justice.
"Our father was killed in cold,
blooded murder, premeditated muir.
der. 1t was planned and plotted
| And if any one should suffer, she
should. The jury which tried her
thought she should hang. And SO
do we. Our fathers life was just
as dear to us as any woman's life
is to her. Some of the papers have
stated that we were pleased with
the verdict. This is absolutely un'
| true.
1--WE have never agreed and never
VIII agree for her sentence to be
changed. If a man kills, he will be
hanged; and why not a woman? A
woman should suffer for her crimes
! the same as man. We have been
fighting this case from the begin
ming, and we will continue to fight.
1--WE were not even notified of
| what was scheduled to take place
| Saturday. And we have never been

To Resign From
Supreme Court

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-By the
Associated Press.)-Associate JUS
tice William R. Day, of the su-
preme court, has decided definitely
to resign from the bench, in view
Of his duties as umpire in the Ger
man-American claims negotiations,
and is expected to formally present
his resignation as justice to
President Harding early this week
Justice Day declined today to
discuss his plans, but it was learned
that he already had made arrange
ments to go to the White House
and place his resignation in the
hands of the president. A former
secretary Of state, Justice Day has
served on the supreme court bench
since March 2, 1903, having been ap-
pointed after he had been a United
States district judge for four years.
He has passed the retirement age
and his resignation will have the eff
feet of placing him upon the retired
list of the court at full pay.
Justice Day will be the second
member Of the court from Ohio to
resign this year, having been pre-
coded by Justice John H. Clarke
and his retirement from the bench
will reduce the representation of
his state upon the highest court
from three to one, Chief Justice Taft
being the only Ohioan remaining.
In April 1898, Justice Day resign
ed as secretary of state to become
chairman of the commission which
negotiated the treaty OF peace with
Spain and his retirement from the
will VIZ
he has laid down important official
duties to serve his country in the
adjustment of its international af-
fairs.
There are two other members Of
the supreme court eligible for re-
tirement, Justices McKenna and
Holmes. Both have served upon
the bench ten years and having
reached the age of seventy. Justice
Holmes during the last recess of
the court submitted to a major sur
gical operation but seemingly has
Their he nor Justice McKenna have
given any indication of an intention
to retire.
