WASHINGTON, May 5.-The adj
minist ration is preparing to recon-
mend moderate tax reductions to the
next congress.
The recommendation viii include
revision of the income tax rates IN
the "middle brackets on incomes
above 5000 year and below $780,

The normal rate, affecting in

imposed on business. just how this
will be worked cut has not been de-
cided. as administration leaders say
il will have to be handled carefully
because of the drive that will be
made for enactment of the eX-
cess profits tax.
The way was paved for the tax
reduction program by the statement
issued today by General Lord, di-
rector Of the budget. Lord in pre-
dieting $60,000,00O government
surplus this year in place of the
100000 deficit, which the
country had been led to expect, op-
ened the door to n demand for tax
reduction.
Anticipating that demand, admin
istration forces were ready to prom
Use serious consideration of tax
reduction next winter.
Claim Not Rca! Surplus
Lord s statement at once became
the battle ground of party polite
ians. Democrats were preparing
today within an hour of its publ
cation to combat on the ground
that the surplus would. be entirely
q "book keeping snrpms' and not
real one. They will point out that
the "'surplus' was made possible
only by the treasury's failure to
pay off war savings certificates and
victory bonds maturing this year.
Many millions in these securities
as well as short term notes, have
been refunded this year and on May
10, a large block of victory notes
WHICH VIII Uldluic VIII Dt tNttiiNt.
The treasury is constantly extend
ing short term paper instead of tax
ing it up.
Therefore the democrats argued
the "saving' was merely post
ponement of the date of settlement
and meanwhile the treasury will
continue to pay out interest on the
refunding of the debts.
Republicans Elated
The republicans, however, hold
Lord s statement rs tremendous
campaign news They said it
proved:
That the budget system-one of
the ma jor accomplishments claimed
for the Harding administration
has succeeded 100 per cent
That the Fordney McCumber tar
if law which the democrats claimed
woul dwreck foreign trade, not only
has not done that but has been Il
great help in producing government
revenues.
That the Harding administration
has put through the most effective
governmental economy program ever
achieved.
The unprecedented rate of growth
of government receipts which Lord
called attention to, is further proof,
the republicans claimed, that the re-
publican administration has brought
about a return of prosperity to the.
country.

FORD SAYS NOT

WASHINGTON, May No
man should start to make his for
tune until he is forty.' This was
one of Henry Ford directions
when requested for some observa-
tion on the quickest and happiest
road to wealth when he was in
Washington on Il recent trip. And
Ford now ranks as the world s
richest man.
81 never attempted to make q
fortune in my life,' said Ford.
"There is only one sure road to
success. That is the road of ser
vice. Render a real service and
you can t help make the fortune.
"Many men make Il mistake try
ing to save; denying themselves
proper recreation, opportunity for
study and self improvement in their
earlier years. l don't believe in
the theory of thrift as a necessary
basis for a fortune.
Self Improvement First
"a man should always save
enough to provide for certain nee
essities, sickness, to secure a home,
etc, on the same basis that a man
should not take Il railroad trip
without having money enough to
buy a ticket. Saving should not
be the dominant idea OF young
mans life; self improvement
should be.
"Men and women should devote
their lives until they are at least
40, to one ideaEthat of making
themselves as efficient as possible
in their business or profession. If
they do that they will make so
much money after they are forty
that all the money they scrimped
and saved for before they are forty
won't matter. Men should invest
in their lives during their forma-
tive years and cash in on this in
vestment when they arrive at their

Pitching Efforts Never Before

ALWAYS GREAT HURLER
Sports Writer Tells How to Get
Line on Ability Possessed
by Pitchers
BY BILLY EVANS

Is Dame Fortune about to smile
on George Dauss late in his pitching
career?
George Dauss for years has been
a member of the Detroit staff Of the
American League His pitching eff
forts have met with varying success.
Never has he quite reached the
heights of stardom,
! have always regarded Dauss as
one Of the best pitchers in the
American League. Perhaps no man
connected with the game is in a bet
gr position to judge the worth of a
pitcher than the umpire. Likewise
no one is better fitted to make COM
parsons.
To me George Dauss has always
been great pitcher. In baseball
one is always judged on results. In
the record book for a pitcher to at
tain the realms of stardom he must
be a consistent winner Dauss has
never been a consistent pitcher.
Batters Fear Dauss
AnntherW ay to get a line on a
pitchers effectiveness is to get the
opinion of the opposing batters.
American League players will tell
you that Dauss has as much stuff
as any pitcher in the league and a
much better curve ball than ma
jority. In addition most Of them
viii tell you that they do not like
to hit against Dauss.
That admission in itself is the best
line one could possibly get on
pitcher. When opposing batters adj
NIT his style of delivery is such
they do not relish facing him, inn
mediately the pitcher secures a de-
cided advantage
There you have the status of
