In accordance with the program Of
the national organization, of which
President Calvin Coolidge is the hon
Orary chairman and Governor J. NJ.
Dixon is the state chairman, the I'M
dersigned committee has been appoin-
ted for the purpose of enabling the
people of this city to do their share
in contributing toward the Harding
Memorial.
The committee lays particular
stress upon the point that no pressure
whatsoever is to be placed upon any
n to give to this cause, but rather
to afford the opportunity to every
citizen of the United States to give
whatever he desires as a token of his
appreciation and affection for the late
president, without regards to race,
creed or political a~ffiliation.
The funds raised will be used for
the erection and maintenance at Ma
rion, Ohio, of a m~ausoleum, wherein

Harding, and Florence King Harding
his widow, when she shall have passed
away; and to acquire the home of the

PROHIBITION BRINGS
LOWER A RATE
IN TREASURE STATE

In 1928, up to the present count,
there were 80 deaths attributed di-
rectly to alcoholism and bootleg
whisky, according to state vital sta
t%istics, which is a marked decrease
over former years, even since the
"dry" period started in 1919.
During the last three years saloons
were in existence in Montana there
were 1,4S5 deaths, or 495 a year, due
to alcoholism, while for the first
three years of the prohibition period
in Montana there were only 231 deaths
or II a year, due to alcoholism.
State health officers and statistic
ians declare that the number of deaths
that can be attributed directly to
alcoholism in Montana eventually may
become nil, unless increased through
doctors prescriptions for liquor, and
prohibition agents are unable to pre-
vent liquor from being Struggled into
the state from other countries.
Since prohibition went into effect
in Montana the population Of the state

society guarantees them to their pros
pective parents.
Before adoption can take place,
each child is placed on trial for one
year, and can be returned to the home
at any time if found unsatisfactory.
While this society has placed a
large number of children in Bozeman
and vicinity during the last twenty
years. We do not know of a single
one that has gone wrong.
Little babies are more in demand
than the older children, hence we have
for placement some older boys and
girls, whom we are sure, with proper
supervision will make good. A. L.
Burton, district superintendent, is
staying at the Baltimore hotel and
will be pleased to meet those who are
interested in either adoption or re-
leasing children to the home.

YOUNG MOTHER DIES
AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

Word was received in this city the
latter part of last week of the death,
on Wednesday, Dec. 5, of Mrs. Jack
Seidendecker, a young mother, at her
home in Twin Bridges. Funeral serv-
ices were held last Saturday and in
terment was made in the Twin Bridges
cemetery.
Deceased was formally Miss Agnes
Woosley of Bozeman, her grandpar-
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Woosley,
residing on West Babcock street. She
is survived by her husband and three
sons, the younger being an infant
three weeks old. She is also survived
by her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John S.
Woosley, who reside in Nevada, and
by five brothers and two sisters.

The children whose pictures are
here shown have been placed in good
family homes by the Montana Chill
dren's Home Society. 1t will be no
ticed that these children compare fav-
Orably with children who have en-
joyed the very best environment pos
sible.
There are many childless homes,
where would-be parents would gladly
adopt these homeless little waits, if
they could be fully assured that the
children were absolutely perfect ply
sically and mentally.
The home has at it's service as COM
petent and r~esourceful a corps Of ply
sicians and surgeons as a be found
anywhere in Montana. When these
physicians give our children a clean
bill of health, physically and mental
Iy, we are reasonably certain that the
little tots are all right and hence the

vices are projected in accordance with
individual requirements.
The proposed dole bearing no rela-
ton to individual. needs or circum~
stances has no comparable justifica-
ton. Moreover, in later years, as
thousands of the now able-bodied be-
come incapacitated through old age
and other disabilities, the nation will
surely be called upon to contribute
literally to their support. The pay
ment of four or five billion dollars in
the next few years to the ~able-bodied
e~x-service men would not lessen the
burden which will certainly be assum-
ed later for many of these same men
and their dependents.

prison has decreased from $50 in 1918
to now about 300. During 1918, the
last year saloons were in existence
in Montana, alcoholism contributed
21.1 per cent of the male cases in the
state hospital for the insane, while
with prohibition in effect that per-
centage has been reduced to less than
5 per cent.
Figures disclose that all major
crimes committed in Montana, such
as burglary, grand larceny, statutory
offenses, and murder, only a small
percentage is attributed to alcoholism,
while formerly alcoholism was attri-
buted to about so per cent of those
crimes.

Mellon points out, progressively be-
coming less productive of revenue
AS is well known, the huge volume
of securities exempt from taxation
provides a way of legitimate avoid
ance of the excessive taxes on large
incomes.
Additional tax notifications are in
Guided in the Treasury's program,
some of which would increase, while
others would reduce, the revenues de-
rived. The suggested equalization of
treatment as between large gains and
large losses in capital account, and
limitation of deductions for interest
paid and for non-business losses
would, it is estimated, increase the
revenues some $60,OOO,O0O. The pro-
posal to abolish the tax on telephones,
kilograms, and leased wires will prob
ably be generally approved.
Soldiers Bonus
1t is well known that n greatest
opposition to the program of Sec
rotary Mellon will come from the ad-
vocates of the soldiers bonus. The
attempt to pass a bonus bill will be
renewed in the coming session of
Congress. If, in spite of its lack Of
economic justification, the bonus
measure is to be driven through in
accordance with the fancied political
ex%pediency, then the proposed plan
for redcuing the tax burdens must
be abandoned.
The Government is rightly com
mitted to a policy of adequate care
which is costing nearly half a billion
dollars a year. Here the various ser.

The program for tax revision an
nounced by the Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon offers for the con
sideration of Congress a fiscal plan
which is designed to effect a reduc-
ton in the aggregate of taxes col
lected, a more equitable apportion-
ment of the tax burdens which must
remain, and a transfer of invested
capital, from tax-exempt securities
into productive channels of industry
and trade.
This action of the secretary in ad-
vance of the opening Of Congress
represents a courageous and thought
full approach to the nations financial
problems, states the current issue Of
the Guaranty Survey, published by
the Guaranty Trust Company of New
York.
The Secretary's recommendations
include a reduction of one-fourth in
the normal income tax rates; a low
ering of the surtax rates to a max
imum of 25% on incomes of 100000
or more land a differentiation in favor
of earned incomes wages, salaries,
and the like), these to be taxed at
rates one-fourth less than the reduc-
ed rates on unearned incomes.
Each of these proposed reductions
would bring a greater measure of re-
lief to persons of small or medium
incomes than to- the wealthy, the
Survey says, although it is expected
that the immediate effect of the tax
reductions would be a temporary de-
cline in revenue from this source.
According to the T~reasury's esti-
mate, the aggregate yield of the nor.
NAL tax on incomes for the next cal
endar year would be $91, 500 1000 less
under the proposed rates than under
the present one Of this sum, rep,
resenting-from the standpoint Of
the Treasury loss, $50, 100000 o.
SO per cent, it is estimated, would
be lost on incomes of $4,000 or less
And the number of persons WHIT
would pay on such incomes is reck
oned at more than $4,000, 900, as com
pared with some $4,000 paying Of
incomes exceeding $4,000.
By reason of the proposed differ
entiation in favor of earned incomes
the loss to the Treasury on income
up to $4,000 is estimated at $51,
100000, or more than one-half of tn,
total. Our federal income tax sys
TEN has heretofore been conspicu
ously faulty in its failure to provid
for some such differentiation. Man
business men believe that, since tn
excuse of urgent need for all practi
cable means of raising revenue n
longer holds, this essential featur
of raising revenue no longer hold:
this essential feature of an adequat
income tax law should be adopte
without unnecessary delay.
The proposed reduction of the su,
tax rates will be regarded by som
as a scheme for Tightening the take
paid by the wealthy. Similar pro
posals heretofore have been so mi:
represented. The fact is, however
that the lowering of these rates j
proposed in order ultimately to ir
crease, not to c~urtail, the revenu
from them.
The present rates are, Secretar

WORLD PEACE PLAN


WILL BE FREE AND INDEPENDENT or at least as
free they may elect to become Some may choose to
east their lot with neighboring nation for mutual well
fare but there will be cOmpulsion in the matter The
day OF the autocTat is nearly spent and his fast ap

rises 1t part of the Divine Law that set of
should be masters and another slaves regardless
of race color Men have been slaves for untold
ures but the light of intelligence penetrates the dark
ened of the earth there is awakening of de
sire for freedom The railroads, the steamship, the air
ships, the press the telephone and the telegraph the
radio or whatever name may be given to wireless
mncation all bringing the ends Of the earth together
into closer communion, and as men become better
quated they find that there is not such great differ
in humanity and they become better educated
they begin to think along practically the lines Ig
and superstition the barriers that stand be-
tween world peace and international brotherhood and
slavery and wretchedness Europe is at present very
unsettled condition 1t is passing through period of
evolution OF the most trying nature but it will emerge
from its troubles clarified and freed from its mitarsm
its sefshnesS its jeaousies and many other evils that
today hang about the necks of the nations like mstones
hamperng their freedom of action and proongng their
misery.
Some day the world will awaken to the folly of the
present system Of national and international government
Some day there will be desire to get together and de-
iberate in a manner upon world economics. Some
day the nations will agree lay aside their eaousies and
unite for the common welfare in the establishing of
world tribunal that will function along the lines of uni
veTsal Justice Some scott at this idea but the
change is gradually taking place Mems hearts soft
ening everywhere and they know each other better
they beginning to love each other The past
quarter century has wonderful advances toward the
universal goal It has witnessed the downfall of dynas
ties the crumbing Of empires and general breaking
down Of the old monarchal system that bound nations
and people IN slavery 1t is not to be expected that the
nations long accustomed to the old system, could read
inst their economic machinery properly and satisfactorily
without many trials; but each trial will be productive of
something better and eventually the world will work out
and adopt suitable program for the conduct of its in

REMINGTON TAX RATE MAY
 BE INCREASED TO 25 MILLS
Town Meeting Called for March f2- l, Grand List Cut to About S2,90O,-
 900 By Board of Relief.

A tax rate of 25 mills will probably be required by the town Of Newing- ton this year because of numerous improvements which it is hoped to make. This is three mills more than the rate last year when a grand list of s2.S75,000 was used as a basis for tax collections. This year the as- sessors turned In q $2,922,000 grand list, but the board of relief cut s20,- 900 from the assessment on the Balf Stone crusher and made other reduc- tions which bring the grand list slightly below the s2,90O.000 mark
 Decision on the proposed tax rate will be made at q town meeting to be held at the Town Hall March 12. The newly created board of finance and taxation will for the first time in the history of the town recommend a tax rate. It is also proposed to change the date for the collection of taxes. In other years taxes were collectible in October on assessments made in the previous October. It is planned to have taxes payable in July in the future.
