THE PARDON CAME TOO LATE
A fair-haired boy in a foreign land.
At sunrise was to die.
In a prison cell he sat alone,
From his heart there came a sigh;
Deserted from the ranks" they said,
The reason none could say;
They only knew the orders were
he should die mex day.
And as the hours slided by,
A messenger on wings did fly,
save this boy from such a fate,
A pardon. but 1t came too late.
Chorus:
The volley was fred at sunrise,
lust after the break of day.
And while the echoes fingered.
A soul had passed away.
Into the arms of his maker.
And there to hear his fate.
. tear, a sigh, a sad goodbye"
The pardon came too late.
And round the campfire burning bright.
The story then was told,
How his mother on a dying bed.
Called for her son so bold.
He FASTENED TO obey her wish
captured on the way;
She never saw her boy so fair,
He died at break of day.
And when the truth at last was known,
His innocence at once vas shown;
70 save from such an unjust fate,

The opinion OF the citizens as to

Administration Hopes Next
Year to Reduce Rates on
High and Low Levels.

international News Service.


The American public will be
promised lower taxes soon after
the President receives the next
estimates Of the Governments
financial needs for the fiscal year
1924, 1t was learned today.
Budget Director Lord now is
preparing estimates Of the APP
preparations necessary to pay
Government operating expenses
for the fiscal year beginning July
l, 1924, and preliminary forecasts
indicate not only q material re-
duction in Government spending,
but steadily rising revenues from
principal sources.
New Era Of Economy.
The next meeting OF the Govern
ment's business organization, q
gathering Of the fiscal agents Of
all bureaus. win signalize the start
of new era in economy.
High officials today were conf
dent that on the basis Of the
Budget Bureaus estimates for the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1895,
the large excess Of receipts over
expenditures viii justify q policy
of urging lower Federal taxes, In
GLIDING slight reduction In the
normal tax rates.
The Administration aims to find
q logical excuse for reducing the
normal income tax rates, now fixed
at 4 per cent on incomes up to
$1,000. The Administration also
stands unqualifiedly in favor Of
q sharp lowering of the present
high surtax rates, running up to
so per cent on incomes above
$4,000. Upon the latter proposal
the President and the Secretary Of
the Treasury are expected to re-
new their fight before Congress
with increased vigor.
Secretary Mellon believes IL his
previous recommendation to this
effect had been followed, the Gov
eminent now would be deriving
hundreds Of millions of dollars
more in revenues from new sources.
Party leaders today suggested
that present calculations may
justify reduction of per cent
in the normal income tax rates on
incomes up to $4,000. Even IL such
a reduction cannot be made Strictly
on the basis of present Government
receipts, there Is feeling among
leaders that perhaps the Congress
should be asked to find some new
sources of revenue in the luxuary
classes, If that course be necessary
to relieve the masses Of workers
from the present high tax scale.
The whole question today Is being
carefully analysed by Government
tax and fiscal authorities. The re-
suit viii be made known soon in
formal announcement of the AID.
ministration's purpose to tighten
the Federal tax burden. as it affects
the small salary earners generally.
This announcement will be the fore
runner Of q definite program which
Congress win be expected to jam
through with the Administra ton
backing far in advance Of the next
campaign.

Old Style,
BY ALICE LANGELIER,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

PARIS. May bring out the
checkers, ladies. Fashion designers
on the Rue de la Paix are ordering
stripes and checks for spring and
summer costumes.
They are not the loud and noisy
checks one wore several years ago,
but quiet, subdued markings In con-
trasting tones to a plain Jacket or
blouse.
Lucille is showing a stunning red
and brown striped mixture for a
pert walking costume, worn with
little red leather belt and with
little cross pieces in the back which
make one think for all the world
OF old.fashioned suspenders. The
brown mixed with the red makes a
most charming combination.
Plaids are used for many Of the
new coats and costumes. One
skirt OF blue and yellow plaid with
q straight bodice Of the same cloth
and q circular-cut coat Of dark
blue lined with the plaid.
Amy Tinker makes one in blue
with the checks in black She also
uses checks and stripes for the big
useful raglan coats she sells for
travelling. One model in beige and
brown has cape sleeves and little
bolero back.
For sport wear there will be
many striped skirts to wear with
fancy paletots and casaquins. There
are silk and wool stuffs with
raised pattern In checks which are
very pretty.
