Rational business outlook"
Business interests of the Pacific
coast have every reason to view the
advent Of 1924 With conservative
optimism" says Herbert Flieschaker,
San Francisco banker. "Cofnmodity
prices are firm; there is no unemploy-
ment problems; our population is
steadily increasing and our buying
power apparently well stabilized"
William Wrigley, Chicago gum
manufacturer and baseball mag
nate, is a bull on the business
eutlook." He expects 1924 to be a
'w6rld beaten in business sense. -
Congress can aid the good busi.
ness prospect. according to Festus
J. Wade, st. Louis merchant, by
''wfSe action in some lines and wise
inaction In others" He suggests
tax reductions and wants the trans
portation act and the Federal Re-
serve system ''let alone"
The farmers opinion Is expressed
by Homer Miller of Des Moines,
president of the Iowa Nat onal
Bank

Scores of other statements are of

the feeling that the fact that 1924
Is a Presidential year will not inter |

mss and Industrial progress.
Harvests Are BOuntiful.

This is regarded as no particu.
tarly large proportion of the total

proposed by Mellon for ali classes
OF people put together.
But, from the standpoint of the
Treasury, the best Is yet to come.
The reduction of revenue result.
ing from the lowering of the sur.
axes IS confidently expected to be
only temporary. AS the drive
against tax exempt securities con.
tinues, and AS the money OF the
very rich begins to flow more and
more into investments which are
taxable, it is confidently expected
that the Treasury's income from
the lowered surfaces will after 4

income from the present surtaxes

The only permanent losses to the
Treasury from the very rich under
the Mellon plan will, therefore, he
the loss resulting from the change
in the normal tax and the loss re
sulting from the change In the tax
on earned" income. These two
changes together will reduce the
taxes of the very rich by $3,575, 00G
a year.
Meanwhile, however, their perma
nent increases in taxes, as above
analysed, will continue to be SAG,
800, 900.
AS q class accordingly they will
not under the Mellon plan pay less
to the Treasury than they are pay
ing now. On the contrary they wifi
pay more, and much more. Their
increases in taxes as class will
be greater than their permanent

$42 10000

many members of Congress that

history as the man who freed the
very rich from taxes which divert
them into nontaxable pursuits an6
who simultaneously arranged tc

TRIAL NEARS
ITS END
Confessed Slayer OF Attorney
May Know His Fate at
Jury's Hands Tonight.

CORRESPONDENT.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 20.-PhiI e.
Fox, Ku Klux Khan editor AMI SELF
contested slayer Of Attorney W. s..
CobIIrn here on November 5, last,
today started on the last round IN
his battle for life.
Night will find his fate in hands
of a jury which for more than a
week has listened to expert alienists
as they branded the khan editor III
sane; to countless State witnesses
who testified that he transacted bust
ness in a normal manner to the
date OF the Staying.
The twelve men also have heard
score of witnesses who testified
that Fox was highly esteemed
citizen before his mental breakdown
In 1918.
Answered BY Others.
They were answered by as many
others who told of associations
with immoral women, drunken
brawls and other licentious practices
here during the past few months.
This testimony, defense attorneys
have made no attempt to refute. 1t
resulted from his neutrality-suspicious.
they claim.
1t has been left with the jury to
decide whether or not a motive for
the staying grew out Of these I'm
tsnal lyFitctices. One Of the States
last witnesses stated he watched
COX and on several occasions
caught him with women"
Furthermore, he testified that daily
reports of the defendants actions
were made to the slain attorney.
Coupled with this was Fox's state
menr shortly after the staying: II
had to do it. / had to do it. He
had some dope on me that wotild
have ruined me. had rather be
hanged than ruined"
Insanity In Family.
On the other hand the jury had
testimony to the effect that FOx's
brother died violently insane; that
his mother was Eccentric; and
that his father was queer"
Physicians said he had both a
physical and a mental breakdown
in 1913 following an attack of in
fluenza. Some alienists expressed
an opinion that he has been insane
since then. Others said he has not
been normal since youth.
The eight hours of argument to-.
day will complete the case. De-
tense attorneys launched a fsuf-
hour plea for his life while the
prosecution were to spend the same
amount of time in begging for the
extreme penalty-death by hanging.

there has been no first-class engage
ment, but only skirmishes with few
casualties.
General Matrinez's federal army is
slowly pursuing the rebel forces that

GROSS CHANNEL
 FLYING IS NOW
 MADE VERY SAFE

LONDON, March Air trips be- tween London and Paris are being made safer all the time. and before long passengers will almost be de- ned the thrill of taking a chance. Even if the airplane is forced down upon the waters of the Channel, the passengers may be rescued so quick y that they will have to use their imaginations in order to interest their friends with an account of the experience when they get back home. The Air Ministry is seeing 10 this.
 Arrangements for hurrying channel craft to the aid of a plane that falls in the water have just been com pleted and successfully tested. As all the trans-Channel fliers are equipped with wireless telephones, the authorities have adopted a new International distress word for air craft. It is May Day. the phonetic equivalent of "M'aldez,' the French for Help Me"
 In a recent test Royal Air Force flying boat was secretly instructed to make forced landing" with "engine trouble" at the certain point over the water. This was done. While blaming down, the craft gave the distress signal three times. It was picked up by wireless stations at Croydon and Lympne. The station at Pullman got a bearing on the sea- rlane's position. A call was put through to the dock master at Dover, and 20 minutes after the airship asked for help, tug was alongside her.
 The new protective arrangements will be in effect night and day, as regular night air service to Paris and back soon is to be established
