HEALTH OF BABIES
OF UNITED STATES
rs Per Cent of Children of
America Afflicted,
Woman Says.

Kansas City, No., Oct. 19.-It is
generally estimated that about 75 per
cent of the children in the United
States have ricketts, during the first two
years OF life, Miss Grace Abbott. chief
of the federal children's bureau, said
in an address here last night before the
annual conference of the national
urban league for social service among
negroes.
Among negro children the rate is
much higher than among white chill
dren. she said.
by this | do not mean that 20 per
cent of all the children of the country
have extreme cases of ricketts, indicated
by the seriously bowed legs and big
heads that all Of us have seen in the
poorer districts of our cities" she
said. "but approximately IS per cent
of the children have had ricketts, seri-
ously enough to have affected the bone
structure perman, ntly causing flat
feet. chest deformities and other de-
fects. and making the child. through its
life. less able to resist disease than il
would be if it had not had the ricketts,
I'VE now know that ricketts, is caused
by inadequate diet and lack of sun.

at this time.
Politically, it will be interesting to
watch the evolution of the tax pro-
gram alongside the bonus measure.
If the latter means a large expen-
diture, tax revision will not be posi-
BILE.
So while the Democrats themselves
will provide enough votes together
with the Republicans to pass bonus
presidential veto, if Mr.. Coolidge
should be against it, which is doubt
full, the Republicans would be the ones
embarrassed if the passage OF bonus
bill kills tax revision.
The Democratic campaign cry will
be "reduce taxes and opponents in
the. primaries of Republican members
of the House and Senate will find
that issue raised largely because the
impression has been sent broadcast by
administration spokesman themselves
that taxes could be reduced.
Which will furnish more notes.-the
bonus or tax revision?
Many Bonus Proponents.
Statistics from the internal revenue
office show that the taxes of the ma
ton are paid by more individuals
than. would receive the bonus but the
difference is that the bonus support
ers are organized and the taxpayers
ere not. and also not few Of the
taxpayers themselves would be recipi-
ents of the bonus.
Very few members of Congress will
dare IN oDnoSa tho honus in tha com
ing session and the general impression
prevails here that unless President
Coolidge takes a determined stand the
bill is as good as passed now.
This is believed to be one reason
why Senator Smoot is trying to dis
courage talk of tax revision while
Secretary Mellon. who is against the
bonus. is tempting the general public
with n tax revision program.

IN 1924 RACE
Politicians Differ as to
Wisdom Of Reduc-
ton Move. y
SMOOT OBJECTS TO IT
''Reduce Taxes to Be
Campaign. Cry Of
Democrats.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, by the San Antonio Light.
Washin gton, d. C., Oct. 19.-Tax
vision may be the paramount issue Of
the next presidential campaign.
The treasury is in such condition
that with further economies in the
coming year, a reduction in taxes
could be accomplished.
But the politicians differ as to the
wisdom of the move and so do some
of the highest of government officials.
If tax revision is not recommended,
however, in the first address to be
made by President Coolidge at the
December session of Congress, at least
one aspirant for the Republican nom
nation will make it the basis of his
attack in the spring primaries.
And the Democrats are planning to
emphasize tax revision if the Repub-
licans do not.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the
Senate finance committee, admits that
the treasury could stand tax re-
duction, but opposes it at this time
on the ground that flood of changes
will be suggested and the whole prob
lem reopened.
~ NIemories of the last fight on the
tax bill when the conservatives had
'dhard time getting the excess profits
taxes repealed are still fresh.
Mr.. SmoOt knows also that SOL
,iier bonus bill will be proposed.
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
Department wants surtaxes reduced
and certain other changes made that
will stimulate business and the gen.
eral prosperity of the nation.
] Mr.. Smoot thinks that if any tax
revision is made it should benefit those
of smaller incomes.
That is obviously the strategy OF
good politics and was the guiding prin-
ciple in the last revision of the reve-
nue. laws that was made.
Madden FayOrs Cut.
Chairman Madden of the House ap-
preparations committee, favors tax re-
duction.
3 He has been making a study of the
whole situation and thinks the treas
ury can stand cut in revenues.
His judgment will count great
deal both in the House and with
President Coolidge.
= But the, situation is not entirely
in: the hands of President Coolidge or
leaders of the House and Senate who
are supporting him.
1t is controlled largely by LaFol-
lette radicals" and members Of the
farm bloc. .S Afss
They will not hesitate to open up
the whole tax matter.
The big question is whether the ad-
ADMINISTRATION, realizing the inevitable,
will get the jump on its natural po-
1itical opponents and propose pro-
gram of tax revision which cannot be
varied materially.
To propose a reduction Of taxes
will incidentally have the effect OF
checkmating. for time at least. the
bonus question, if. indeed, the bonus
supporters revive the kind of bhl they
had last time.
An effort will be made by the adj
ministration to put through n bonus
bill that takes into account some of
+ the various plans suggested last year,
