Last year in the 1000 boy scout
camps throughout the country over
100000 boys enjoyed the advantages
of the scout program The cost per
boy per week averaged less than $5.iO,
the camping department emphasizing
the necessity Of keeping the cost al
the minimum to make 1t possible for
all scouts to attend.
Every indication this year points to
an Increased number of campers and
camps, and pronounced development
Of facilities.
At the boy scout camps no laXily

ing boys from harm-moral as well as
physical.
Great care is taken in selecting a
competent camp staff and every real

attention in case Of sickness or acci.

show remarkable health conditions
throughout all scout camps and al
most no accidents Of consequence.
Boys are safer by far in n boy scout
camp than in any city
And then the advantage Of the
training. Sportsmen say there is no
experience like camping to bring out
and develop mans ability TO team

a boy to be able to do good team work

SECRETARY MELLON
URGES SURTAX CUT

Washington, D. C,-Reduction of the
maximum income surtaX rate from the
present so per cent to not more than
rs per cent, and the closing up so far
as possible Of existing avenues of es-
cape from federal taxes are urged by
Secretary Mellon in his annual report,
transmitted recently to mongress. No
general revision of the revenue laws is
proposed nor are additional taxes sug-
gested, Mr.. Mellon expressing the hope
of meeting any indicated government
deficit through collection of back taxes
and income from other sources
The treasury secretary informed
congress that to attempt alone to stop
the gaps through which there is an
avoidance of tax payments to the gov
eminent would not be enough because
the existing rates of surtax put such
heavy pressure Oil the larger taxpayers
to reduce their taxable incomes" that
new ones would surely be found. He
added that the high rates Sound pro-
ductive," but that the fact remains
that they are becoming increasingly
ineffective and are yielding less and
less revenue each year.

Washington, d. C.--Rural credits

loan system, was introduced stimuli
taneously in the senate and house by
Senator Lenroot, republican of Wiscon-
sin, and Representative Anderson, re-
publican of Minnesota.
The two bills, similar in most par
ticulars, would make available for
farm loans total of 100000, dis
tributed equally among the IL federal
farm loan banks. The present govern
ment subscription to the IL banks
totals only Sl2000,OO0. The banks
would be authorized to rediscount farm

CHANGE CIVIL SERVICE
Chief Justice Taft Would Extend
Scope of Act

Washington, D. c. - Chief Justice
Taft suggested in an address before
the annual convention of the National
Civil Service Reform league that the
president be given power to make
appointments to all LEGAL offices with
out senate affirmation, This would
be of great assistance to the presi-
dent, Taft said, because he could, by
executive order, turn the entire bur
densome task over to the civil service
commission.
The change, which was suggested
for postmasters, collectors of inter
nal revenue, United States attorneys,
federal marshals and other field Of
flcers of the government he declared,
should be welcomed by congress be-
cause Of "the opportunities Of patron
