suggested that the removal of the
founder of Georgia would be immedi-
ately followed by an attempt TO take
the bones of William Penn to America.
The threat was regarded by the
Society of Friends as sufficiently seri-
Gus to cause them to issue statement
TO forestall any possible effort to dis
inter PENIS dust from the peaceful
little Quaker burial ground at Jor-
dams, where Penn, his wife and five
of his children are buried.
The declaration recalls that the
state of Pennsylvania in 1881 ap-
preached the trustees of Jordans, with
a view to bringing about the removal
of PENIS remains.
At, that time the trustees replied that
"after consideration Of the matter,

Society of Friends but in a dispas-

B0RAH FOR TAX CUTS
Says Time For xction is At Hand As
Delays are Costly.

New York. Oct. Ex-senator W. Il
Borah. of Idaho. here for conference
in connection with prospective coal
legislation, today issued a statement
favoring a drive at the coming SEES
sion of Congress TO reduce the ma
tons tax burden.
II am very much in favor of tax
reduction at this session OF Con-
gress," he said. 1--WE cannot act toe
speedily so long as we act with in
formation and intelligence.
If the fearful tax burden now be-
ing carried can be relieved. as Sena-
tor Smoot, who is as well advised as
any one. declares, to the extent oil
$500. 600, 900, let us do so as soon as
possible.
The view expressed by Senator
Smoct that the man of small. income
should be favored. is good news also.
But | think we should not delay.
Il hope the new chairman, Senator
Smoot. with his usual industry and
ability, will urge his program and
urge il at this session.
If we do not begin an active cam
paign for reductions, we will likely
drift into a program of increasing the
taxes.
There will be plenty of plans to
increase the burden.
"The best way TO meet them. is by
an active program TO reduce and re-
