REDUCTION OF INCOME
TAXES RECOMMENDED
Decrease of 1929, 100000 Next
Year Is Proposed BY Sec
rotary Mellon.

Washington, d. C.-Reyison of fed
eral taxes, estimated to reduce the to-
tai assessment by $323,OOO,OOO next
year, is proposed in the programme
approved by Secretary Mellon for sub
mission to congress.
Recommendation are made for Il %
per cent reduction in the taxes on
earned income; reduction of the nor.
nal taxes on incomes from 4 per cent
and per cent to per cent and per
cent respectively. Application of the
surtax at $4,000 instead of $4,000 and
scaling progressively upwards to %
per cent on incomes of 100000, and
repeal of the taxes on admissions and
on kilograms, telephone messages and
leased wires.
Against these reductions the pro-
gramme provides taxation increases
by the deduction Of capital losses to
124 per cent of the loss and limitation
OF the deduction from gross income
for interest payment during the year
and losses not of business character
to the amount the sum of these itsms
exceeds tax exempt income of the tax
payer. 1t is proposed also to tax COM

Dusseldorf.-It was variously estt.

killed and that between 200 and 800,
many Of them women and children,
were injured during the disorders at

women and children.
The firing originated from the
houses overlooking the square, but
rapidly degenerated into general
shooting ARRAY, in which the police,
communists and separatists took part.
The French occupation authorities
held the German military police-the
security police-responsible for the
outbreak declaring that they started
the shooting, in which the communist
groups later joined. The hospitals and
police barracks were filed with wound

BUYING OF WHEAT
BY U. s. FAVORED

Washington, D. C.-Revival of the
United States Grain corporation, with
authority to purchase 100000, 600 BUSH
els of wheat in the open market, is the
plan most favored by the Coolidge adj
ministration for the relief of the agri-
cultural industry it was learned here.
The purchase price would be S1.50
bushel, if the plan is finally adopted.
Its supporters contend it would bring
immediate sterilization to the wheat
market and provide immediate finan-
cial relief for poverty-stricken agricul-
turists.
Legal barriers, however, may pre-
vent revival of the corporation as it
existed during the war, but similar
body would be organized under the
plan.
The pilgrimage to the capital of a
little group of bankers and farmers
from the northwest, regarded at first
as rather futile effort, has resulted
after two days of conference with ad-
ministration officials, in stirring the
government to take definite action for
relief in wheat growing states.
They came demanding an extra ses-
sion of congress to revive the United
States grain corporation While they
will not get that they will return to
the northwest carrying very definite
assurances that all efforts will be bent
toward bringing relief.
