CURTIS SAYS TAXES
CAN BE REDUCED
REPUBLICAN WHIP, AT T E R
WHITE HOUSE CALL, AS
SERTS CUT IS POSSIBLE.

Congress could reduce taxes at the
forthcoming session even if soldier
bonus legislation is enacted, Senator
Curtis, of Kansas, republican whip OF
the senate and member of the finance
committee, said after d call at the
white house. The senator added that
he fully expected bonus legislation to
be passed.
The difficulty in passing bill to
reduce taxes, Senator Curtis said,
would be in obtaining agreement by
the various groups in congress ON a
reduction program. Unless such pro-
gram can be agreed to, he said, moth
ing probably will be done.
Nation Wide Demand.
There is a strong demand the coun-
try over for a reduction in taxes" the
senator said. 1T is the duty of con-
gress to take STEPS to further wipe out
the war levies. Something was done
along that line by the last congress
in reducing the tax burden by ap-
proximate1y $800,000,000; something
more should be done by congress at
the forthcoming session"
The Kansas senator said he person
ally would favor a reduction all along
the line, differing from Senator Smoot
of Utah, who will be chairman of the
finance committee in the next senate
and who advocates the elimination OF
taxes on persons of small incomes.
Senator Curtis said he was not pre-
pared to take a stand with Secretary
Mellon for a reduction by one-haH in
the present surtax rate of SO per cent.
Puts Bonus Cost at $76,00o,Ooo.
In asserting that taxes could be re-
duced even though a bonus bill were
passed Senator Curtis explained that
his statement was contingent upon
the expectation that the bonus bill
would be along the lines passed by
the last congress and vetoed by Pres
ident Harding. Such a bill would in
vo1ve an expenditure of about $76,-
100000 the first year. The senator be-
lieves that with economies in govern
mental operation receipts will over
balance expenditures in the next fiscal
year by considerably more than that
amount

PROVIDES CAT PROOF
HAVEN FOR BIRDS
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO
MAKE PLACE SAFE FOR THE
FEATHERY TENANTS.

Eleven ard half acres of woody
land on Long Island are to be dedi-
Gated 10 the use of whatever birds
NAV ly that way. Gift of the property
by w. E Roosevelt, New York CAPT
talist and cousin fthe late Theodore
Roosevelt, and acceptance of il by the
National Association of Audubon So
cieties, is announced by T. Gilbert
Pearson, president, in connection with
the annual meeting of the association
at the Museum of Natural History.
The park surrounds the grave OF
Roosevelt at Oyster Bay.
At Big Expense.
Plans have been made for spending
thousands cf dollars to make the park
safe and comfortable for ifs future
tenants, Mr.. Pearson said. 1t is a
rocky and neglected piece of land, and
birds have always nested there and
filled it with their songs. Trees, shrubs
and vines bearing fruit that birds ike
best will be planted, but the existing
Jungle" win be preserved as Tar as
possible Fountains and pools will be
built
Before presenting it to the associa-
ton Mr. Roosevelt had fence put up
around the tract. He said he hoped
this would be made cat-proof, and so
put a final touch on the security OF
the birds already there and those that
are yet to move IN.

MOVE MADE TO STOP
BIG GAME HUNTER
CHARGE CRUEL MANNING OF
WILD ANIMALS FOR MOTION
PICTURE PURPOSES.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Charging
ruthless slaughtering and cruel maim-
ing" of wild animals in Africa for mo-
ton picture purposes, students of wild
animal life in this country today took
steps to prevent Henry A. Snow, OF
Oakland, Cal, from carrying out an
other expedition.
In a letter to heads of scientific
institutions in America DR.. VIM: l.
Hornadv. director of the New York
geological park and trustee OF the
Wild Life Protection fund, accused
snow. who held credentials from an
Oakland museum, of shooting specl-
mems of game now almost extinct.
The most serious complaint against
him was that he killed four of the
only "a survivors of the white rh1-
noceros species.
Other charges cited by DR.. Horna-
DIV against Snow were that, in order
to obtain thrilling motion pictures, ne
slaughtered big game unnecessarily
running down animals in an automo1-
bile to take pictures of them, wound
inc wild animals so that he could OBJ
tain "close ups" as they wrIthed IN
agony. liz NOV,
Snow was reported as on his way
n Africa. and DIR. Hornady announc-
ed that an attempt would be made TO
prevent him from landing.

The cue was in honor OF every man

u. S. STILL HIRING
MANY, DESPITE CUT
10000 COMPETED IN A YEAR
FOR THOUSANDS OF JOBS.
PERSONNEL 100000 OFF.

Despite the fact that the number
of federal employees has been reduced
by nearly 100000 since the close of
the war the civil service commission
sees no prospect of a considerable de-
crease in the number of opportunities
for government employment, says the
Washington Post.
To meet the normal turnover. which
is large, the commission held exam
nations in the year ended June 80,
1923, for more than 500 different kinds
of positions, in which more than ZOO
900 persons competed. Indications are
that the number for ffiis fiscal year
will be as great.
A study of the examinations held in
the last two years reveals an interest
ing range of positions all the way
from charwoman and laborer, for
which the primary requirement is
good physical coalition, to those
which demand qualifications of very
high order, such as agricultural trans
portation economist at salary of 81,
600 to $500, and mechanical and
electrical engineer at salary of S.
600.

Care of Children Her Greatest Recreation She Tells Illinois Farm
Director Vivid Pictures Of Home Life

The women were asked the size OF
the family, number of boys and girls,
names of father and mother, their
ages, whether there were any relatives
living in the home dependent OH the
family, how much time was devoted
to household work, how much to re-
creation and what sort of labor saw
ing apparatus was in the home. The
QUESTIONABLE was accompanied by
seven blank pages on which the wo-
men were to put down their schedule
of work for each day in the week
The answers showed that there is
greater sharing of work and play in
the farm home than in the city home.
That is, country women work more
and play more than do city women.
1t was also shown that in the homes
of the high grade workingmen there
was fine cooperation between hus-
band, wife and children The size of
the home averaged eight rooms, al
though it varied from 2 to Is. One
third OF the homes reported no pan
tries and one-third had no baths.

SKYSCRAPER OWNERS
BEGIN WAR ON BANDITS
BROADCAST DESCRIPTION OF
THIEVES TO STOP EPIDEMIC
OF OFFICE LOOTING.

The gentleman burglar who oper-
ates only in offices located in sky
scrapers will have a much harder row
to hoe as result of the two-hsted
plan inaugurated by the National AS
sociation of Building Owners and
Managers.
Photographs, descriptions OF dress,
peculiarities, and in the case of known
burglars, measurements OF those men
who are known or suspected of be-
longing to the gang of skyscraper
bandits will be sent to every elevator
operator and doorman in every large
building in the United States when
ever an epidemic of such robberies
presents itself.
The officials of the association are
confident that a gang of crooks oper-
ates in skyscrapers.
Officials of the building owners or
ganization say that the crooks get in
the good graces of men who have of
fees in skyscrapers, learn when large
quantities of money will be in the
safes and then enlist the services OF
fellow crooks to loot the offices.

YOUTH KILLS MAN
TO SAVE HIS SISTER
PLAIN COFFIN BEARS BODY
OF SWARTHY UNKNOWN TO
POTTER'S FIELD GRAVE.

LAFAYETTE, Ga.-Like page
torn from some stark melodrama is
the story told here Friday of the
tragic affair on the Hixon farm, not
far from town, when a dark, hand
some stranger appeared Thursday
from nobody knows where, made VIC
lent and unwelcome love to the 49,
year-old daughter of the house, and
was killed by the girls young broth
er, who ran into the house at her
screams.
With no attendants, plain coffin
was lowered into grave in Potter's
field of the city cemetery Friday,
and record made that S. T. Hender-
son was buried there. Nothing else is
known of the man whom James Hix-
on, IT.. killed in defense of his sister
Clara, and even the name Henderson
is not certain. 1t was upon card
found in a pocket of the slain stran-
gers coat, and that is all. Nobody
here ever saw him before he made
his appearance before the startled girl
at the Hixon farm Thursday morn
ing, smiling inscrutably, just as dark,
handsome strangers do in the advent
ure books.
Girl Was Alone
Miss Clara Hixon was in the home
alone. Her father was away, and her
mother was at work i'll field adjoin-
ing the house Singing at her tasks
about the house, the girl stepped into
the kitchen to behold the stranger in
the back door AS the story was re-
lated to authorities afterward he adj
vanced with a bow and smile and
put out a hand to clutch her.
The girl screamed and foug h
against the intruder In the field young
Hixon heard her, and ran toward the
house. He perceived the struggle and
seized a revolver that lay handily IN a
back room, just as the stranger took
alarm and ran out of the house. Young
Hixon fired with unerring aim, and
the stranger fell, instantly killed.
A card indicated that he was 5. L.
Henderson. There were other papers,
but nothing in them to disclose furth-
er details of identity. The stranger
was described as we'll dressed, OF com
plexion almost swarthy, and black
hair. He was said to be about ~
years old, and to weigh about l35
pounds.

THE UNITED STATES HAS
AGAIN OFFERED ITS AID
AMERICA WILLING TO HELP
EUROPE EVEN TO SITTING
IN ON ECONOMIC FARLEY.
PUTS BUCK" UP TO PARIS
American British Correspondence Is
Probably Intended to Force France
To Act. Time Is Propitious for
Settlement of Preparations Problem.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Unit
ed States formally has reiterated its
willingness to cooperate in an eco
nomic settlement in Europe-even to
sit in an economic conference
This was revealed when the state
department made public its reply to a
lengthy note from Lord Curzon, the
British foreign minister, asking spe-
officially just what the United States
was prepared to do.
In the main the Washington gov
eminent still stands on the position
set forth by Secretary Hughes in his
New Haven speech, the recent ex-
change amplyfying that position,
bringing it up to date and emphasiz-
ing that, in the opinion of the Ameri-
can government, the time is ripe Tor a
real settlement.
The administration goes step fur
Their by expressing willingness to sit
in all economic conference, upon GER
tain conditions, in addition to the pro-
posa1 for an impartial commission to
determine Germany's capacity to pay
which Hughes first offered as means
of settlement.
Names the Conditions.
But the Washington government,
before it lends hand, insists that all
the powers vitality concerned in the
German PREPARATIONS problem shall
agree to such a conference, that the
conference shall act only in advisory
capacity, leaving no nation bound in
advance by the decisions reached, and
that the matter of the debts owed this
country by Europe shall be excluded
from consideration in conjunction
with German PREPARATIONS.
Substantially that is what Secretary
Hughes has been insisting all these
months, and he reiterates it as the on
" basis of negotiation offering a
chance of a solution.
The British American exchange of
notes clearly puts the buck" up to
France.
Both nations express the opinion the
present situation on the continent
menaces the world and the time is
propitious for considering some set
t1ement in view of the cessation OF
passive resistance on the part of Ger
many. In short if France refuses to
go into a conference now and chooses
to continue to play its lone hand
against Germany it must explain to
the world why.
Brings Pressure on Paris.
Probably that was the purpose be-
hind the British note and the Ameri-
can response-an indirect way OF
bringing pressure on France to con-
sent to an international conference
Certainly it is a gentle reminder to
France that other nations, too, are
interested in a settlement.
Secretary Hughes goes out of his
way in his reply to make the project
appear inviting to France. He stresses
that the impression must not be hat
that such conference would relieve
Germany of any Of its just obligations
but only would determine the full ex-
tent of its capacity to pay.
In short, the American government
meets the objection France raised
when the original Hughes proposals
were made More than ever, it put!
the question squarely up to Paris

NATIONS OUTPUT
SHOWN BY CENSUS
S74, 1923, e3o,736 ESTIMATED BY
FEDERAL BUREAU AS TO-
TAI OF PRODUCTION.

WASHINGTON, d. CA meas
ure of the nations ability to produce
manufactured goods has just been
completed by the census bureau after
two years of work. The grand total
of possible output during single
year is set down by the bureau at
$74,123,93O736. The returns used in
making up this total came from 1884,
1914 manufacturing plants throughout
the country.
In addition 1914 plants, with a
known output of about 81 100000 900
annually, failed to submit maximum
output figures. 1t is reasonably GER
tain that had the figures from these
plants been available the grand to-
tai of American factories to produce
would have been written in figures
topping the $76,000,000,000 mark.
This means that under ideal conditions
of labor, transportation and raw ma
terial supply our factories are capable
of turning out annually finished prod
ucts to the value of about $500 for
every man, woman and child in the
country.
Linked With 1922 Census.
The survey was made in connection
with the 1922 census of manufactur-
ers showing what the plants actually
turned out in finished products during
that year of business depression. The
totals show that American factories
produced in 1921 goods to the value
of about $43, SO0,000,000 That was q
drop Of more than $18,000 100000, OF
about 80 per cent from the banner
year of 1910, when mills and factories
were whirring under the stimulus OF
postwar imitation and prosperity
These figures, never before an
nounced. tell an accurate story of the
extent of the damage done by the
storm of readiustment as well as the
capacity of the nations gigantic man
ufacturing machinery. They are re-
plete with detail. They cover $50 sep
arate manufacturing industries which
gave employment during the height
of depression to more than 6,00000C
workers. They tell the story OF each
industry, showing the extent to which
it was affected by the economic
change.
20 Per Cent Operation.
They show that in 1921 the manu-
| featuring industries were operating a
about 20 per cent of the 1919 volume
(measured in dollar valued and a
| sos per cent OF capacity. They indi
cate that the country's manufacturing
plants working at the maximum, ar
capable OF furnishing employment t.
more than 100000 workers.
