PARTY PROGRAM OF
 DEMOCRATS AIMED. T0 RELIEVE POOR
"Put Cost of Government on Shoulders of Rich," Will
 Be Slogan
WASHINGTON BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD } Washington, D. C., March 25 ]

The legislative program to be at tempted another session of Congress by the democrats, who will have the support of the radical republicans. will contain these features, 1t is definitely learned today:s
 1. Modification of the Esch-Cum- mins railroad act to meet changing conditions.
 ?. Modification of the tariff act so ent "stear' respecting sugar.
 8. Restoration of excess profit tax ation.
 4. Increasing of surtax on excessiv/ incomes to 65 per cent.
 5. The imposition of heavy in- heritance tax.
 6. The imposition of taxation on undivided surpluses of corporations. Would Relieve Poor.
 The above program, democratic statemen and strategists still in Washington insist, would relieve the poor of his excessive burden of tax ation, and put the, cost of govern ment on the shoulders of the rich. They do not deny, at the same time, that the effort to put the program into effect will force the President party to line up with "big business" and thus emphasize a situation and condition which will become a lead ing campaign issue.
 The republicans are aware of the purposes of the democrats. Senator James F. Watson of Indiana, return

ing from Florida, where he consulted with the President, had this to say:
 Business conditions will have greatest effect on the fortunes of the parties in 1924. If prosperity pre- vails, the President will. of course, be reelected. If times are hard. on the other hand, anything might happen.
 If the democrats and radicals bring their proposed legislation to a vote or to the verge of a vote, capf- tai will be frightened indoors. and an unnatural and unwarranted depres- sion will ensue."
 Watson gave every indication that the President and his leaders in the Senate would oppose democrats and radical republicans in an effort to revise, even partially, the existing scheme of taxation.

MAIN STREET "HICKY"
Peoria, H., Decides To Change Name
 Of Main ThOrOughfare

PEORIA, III, March ' 25.-MalH street may be an appropriate name for the main drag in Peoria, but It sounds too "hicky."
 When the town council meets Tues day night a resolution will be intro duced to change the name of Main street to something else.
 Business men and aldermen who favor this plant don't know yet what they'll call Main street after this, but they feel most any old name will be an Improvement. Sinclair Lewis, they claim, is to blame.

none promises greater return than
does the public school. No nation is
