Washington, d. G, - Taxation and

the first regular session OF the new

ed that there is widespread demand
for a reduction Of the national tax bill
and believe that the present temp.

should give way to one outlining a
national Immigration policy,
Just what changes should be made
in the tax law, none of the leaders
now is prepared to say, but there ap.
pears to be an accord with President
Hardlng's view that there should be
reduction all along the line If possible.
In addition, President Harding is
expected to ask for action to curb
the smuggling OF aliens into the
country and to provide for registration
of aliens as an aid to immigration
authorities.

Elihu Yale's Quaint Epitaph.

Yale university owes its name
to Elihu Yale, and English colon
ial official, who, though born in
Boston, Mass, was buried in the
cemetery at Wrexham, North
Wales. Ee donated very literally
to the infant college. When tn
collegiate school from which the
university grew was removed to
New Haven from Saybrook in
IT'S, the new college building, and
later the whole institution, was
named for him.
Chief Justice Taft thinks the
epitaph is one of the oldest in ex.
iStence. 1t reads:
Born in America, in Europe
bred,
In Africa travelled, in Asia wed,
Where long he lived and thrived,
in London dead.
Much good, some i'll, he did, so
hope all's even,
And that his soul through mercy's
gone to heaven.
You that survive and read this
tale take care
For this most certain exit to pre-
pare,
Whers bIest in peace the actions
of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the
silent dust. "
