each OF whom was in charge Of i'm
portant sections Of the board.
In making these awards, Secretary
Weeks said he had overruled his own
policy against such awards to persons
outside OF the military establishment,

that these men actually had rendered
semi military service Of the highest
value.
1t was explained that Bernard NJ.
Baruch. head Of the board. had been
awarded the medal by the previous ad-
ministration more than two years ago,
but so far had declined to accept 1t. on
the ground that he was no more entitled
to II than the other members Of the

WOULD LESSEN TAX
ON SMALL INCOMES
Senator Gerry Favors be.
= crease in Rate for People
of Small Means.

A reduction Of the income tax rate
on the incomes Of people with mod
crate means is strongly advocated by
Senator Peter Geolet Gerry of Rhode
Island. democrat, in O statement is
sued here.
II have been glad to observe recent
1y in the press statements Of some
OF the administration leaders that a
reduction in the normal tax is con-
tempIated," said Senator Gerry. "This
would substantially reduce the tax
upon people with small or moderate
incomes.
Due in 1921, He Declares.
I'm my judgment, this should have
been done when the revenue bill was
earnestly urged the necessity OF re-
ducing the tax upon those who were
least able to pay. The amendment
then offered would have cut in half the
tax on those receiving incomes not in
excess Of $4,000: This proposal was
leaders and was defeated in the Sem
ates by practically party vote.
The revenue bill as 1t passed. re-
duoed the higher surtaxes 1t did
something very substantial for the
people with large incomes. but was
not so considerate Of those. receiving
small or moderate salaries or in
comes. upon whom the tax bore most
heavily.
'At the time my amendment was
offered suggestions were made as to
how an equal amount of revenue
could be raised by other forms Of tax
alton. but these suggestions were ig-
nored.
Calls 1t "ConversioA."
I'm view OF the attitude OF the re-
publican party in those days. It Is
pleasing to note now the apparent
conversion, and / entertain hopes that
the Congress, at it's next session, will
be glad to adopt such program as
was outlined in my amendment. Its
adoption would mean that instead
Of a few heavy taxpayers being bene-
flied, real burden would be lifted
from that mass of taxpayers. who
have found 1t difficult to pay the very
cost OF living-housing. food and
clothing. and at the same time meet
the heavy exactions imposed by town,
state and national taxation
