Coolidge Favors
Cut in Taxes

Washington. Oct. 19-Congress. in
the opinion of President Coolidge,
should undertake revision of taxes
at its forthcoming session provided
conditions warrant a scaling down
of the present levies.
The chief executive has been CIV
ing some consideration to the tax
question and tomorrow will confer
with Senator Smoot, of Utah. who
is in line for craftsmanship of the
senate finance committee. Senator
Smoot believes that half a billion
dollars could be Topped off federal
taxes but advocates leaving the tax
question alone on the ground that
tinkering with 1t in the next con-
gress would be dangerous and also
because the present law should be
given a further test to determine
the most advisable changes.
Mr.. Coolidge prior to the con-
vention of congress will confer on
tax matters with Secretary Mellon
and with Republican leaders on the
senate finance and House ways and
means committee.

Paddock Move
Against Saloons
in Hard Coal Region

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 19-With their
first victory won in the federal court
here through the action of Judge c.
B. Wilmer. in sustaining injunction
proceedings against a Hazleton sa-
loon proprietor, state police through
out the anthracite region today
served notice on all saloons here to
close their places within 72 hours.
Six state troopers from the Wyom-
ing barracks visited all places in
Scranton, Wilkesbarra, Carbonate
and other cities in the valley, which
had been ordered closed in August.
The majority of the drinking
places failed to obey. the order and
today's action. according to Captain
William Clarke. commanding the
troop, comes as the result of court
approval of the "padlock" proceed
ings. If the orders to close within
~ hours are not complied with, he
said court would be asked to issue
injunctions against hundreds of sa-
looms throughout the hard coal fields.
