MELLON ADVISES
BETTER METHODS
Annual Report of the Secretary Of
The Treasury Was Presented To
Congress this Afternoon

Washington, Dec. 6.-(Associated
Press of the maximum
income surtax rate from the present
80 per cent to not more than 25 per
cent and the closing up so far as pos
sible of existing avenues of escape
from federal taxes are urged by Sec
retary Mellon in his annual report,
transmitted today to Congress. No
general revision of the revenue laws is
proposed nor are additional taxes
suggested, Mr.. Mellon expressing the
hope of meeting any indicated govern
ment deficit through collection of back
taxes and income from other sources.
The treasury secretary informs Con-
gress that to attempt alone to stop the
gaps through which there is an avoid
ance of tax payments to the govern
ment will not be enough because the
existing rates of surtax ".:ut such
heavy pressure on the larc taxpay-
ers to reduce their tax - 'n~omes"
that new ones would su - b fond.
He adds that the high as "souno
productive" but that the f,-c4 romans
that they are becoming increasingly
ineffective and are yielding less and
less revenue each year,
Then bluntly he tells Congress that
the time has come to "face the facts
squarely" and to correct the artificial
| conditions which now prevail and
which, he asserts, are not wholesome
from the point of view of business or
industrial development, and, at the
same time, are impairing the revenues
of the government,
| The more important of the methods
used by the taxpayers to reduce the
amount of income subject to taxation
are listed by Mr.. Mellon as follows:
| Deduction of losses on sales of cap
ltal assets, with the failure to realize
on capital gains.
Exchanges of property and securi
ties so as to avoid taxable gains.
Investment in tax-exempt securi
ties,
Division of property, creation o
trusts and the like.

BUSINESS WOMEN HELD
AN INTERESTING MEETING

The Business and Professional
Woman's Club held it's regular meet
ing at the club rooms last night, with
Miss Margaret Taylor in the chair.
The club meeting was opened by
repeating the club collect, followed by
singing america"
The meeting was then turned over
to Miss Onie Chazal, who is chairman
of the program committee, and Mr..
John L. Edwards, president of the
Ocala National Bank, the speaker of
the evening, was introduced. From
the time he started talking until he
closed, Mr.. Edwards could not have
found more attentive audience. The
subject of his address was Banking" +"
in which the history of the American
bank was clearly set forth, from the
time of colonial days, when the Am
erican bank was an outgrowth and
patterned after the Bank of England,
through subsequent years to the time
of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van
Buren, when the national central
power of banking was divided and
the states were given more power, to
the present national federal reserve
banking system, which in the eight
years it has been in effect has grown
into what it considered the largest and
safest banking system in the world.
This system, the speaker said, was one
of the potent factors in winning the
recent war, and made it possible for
our country to loan the enormous
sums of money to foreign govern
ments necessary in the financing of
the war. Mr.. Edwards told how the
federal reserve system, which is gov
erned by federal reserve board of
twelve at Washington, in turn CO.
operates and works with a federal re-
serve committee which is composed OF
members, one from each of the twelve
federal reserve districts in the United
States, cooperating with state banks
and local banks, making the banking
system of this country as safe and
sound as the government which stands
behind it. Mr.. Edwards then touched
on the different classes of banks
which includes trust companies, clear.
ing houses, building and loan associa.
tions, etc. The address was so cleal
and simple that any one might under.
stand and still so comprehensive ant
interesting that any business mar
could learn something. The member.
of the club are certainly indebted Il
Mr.. Edwards for this interesting anC
enlightening address. and it is a pity
it could not have been heard by ever!

Japs Deny Plan
10 Flood Brazil
With OrientaLs
Nipponese Farmers u
South America Seek
Loans at Home.

RIO DE JANEIRo. Feb. 25.-Jap-
anese sources here deny reports
from Tokyo attributing to Premier
Takahasni a plan 20 stimulate emil
grafton to Brazil by advancing
funds through the Yokohama Specie
Bank repayable on easy terms. It
is said the report is probably a re-
suit of the governments request
that the bank advance money TO
Japanese farmers already in Brazil
whose crops were damaged or de-
stroyed by the long drought which
was followed by a month of rains
and foods.
The japanese consul general here
insists that such loans are being
made from the banks funds. and
they are not government money. The
Japanese in Brazil send all their
profits TO Japan as soon as they
sell their crops. leaving themselves
without funds to tide over q crisis
like the present.
The federal government of Brazil
has always refused TO encourage
Japanese immigration. and Il has
Seclined Japanese offers to supply
laborers. Since the state of SaU
Paulo. which formerly welcomed the
Japanese. is now trying to halt i'm
migration from Nippon, the Jap
anese premier would not be able 20
obtain the necessary Brazilian CO.
operation for any projected scheme
to send Japanese to Brazil. IL is
said.
