Supervisors Approve $4,000 Brawley School Bonds
Coolidge Plans
Compromise Bill
On Tax Question

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Presi
dent Coolidge believes that enact
ment of the bonus will affect ma
teriallv the amount of tax relief
that can be afforded business and
the people, it was stated on his be-
half at the white house today.
The presidant thinks, however,
that while relief will be affected
to some extent this year, the effect
will be greater in futuee years,
it was stated.
The bonus law. will be an addi-
tional financial burden on the gov
ernment of more than $100,0O0,0OO
year, the president believes, and
will prevent thai much tax relief.
Indications that the conferees
will draw up. a compromise plan
which will be acceptable to Presl-
dent Coolidge became stro niger to-
day.
After a session of the conferees,
Chairman SmOot of the senate fin
ance committee announced that he
believed early adoption of com
promise bin was in prospect.
The statement by Smoot was Civ
en- added weight because of his
stand rs a Republican leader in
exact accord with the president s
views against the bonus bill and in
favor of the Mellon plan.
Work Out Compromise
No decisions have been reached
bv the senate and house conferees
on major schedules but the ground
work has been laid for adoption of
| the compromise ran.
The compromise bin is expected
to smakc the following changes i'll
! the measure as passed by the SEN
ate: e.t 3 tsz$y
1-Elimination of the provision
providing complete publicity for all
income tax returns.
Adoption of a modified corp
Grafton tax, probably the plan of
21a per cent flat tax with tax
rate of 81 per $1,000 on issues of
capital stock.
Adoption of the 40 per cent
Democratic maximum sur tax with
the Democratic normal rates of two
per cent on incomes with less than
$4,000 of four per cent for the next
81 ,000.
These changes will enable leaders
to speed the bill through both
houses so thai it could be placed
before the president at least a
week before the scheduled adjourn
ment on June I.

a boy his people lived near Grange

SENATOR DUBOIS ON VACATION.

Former Senator Dubois and his
daughter, Margaret, are spending a
few weeks at the residence at Black
foot, and Mrs. Dubois is at their
apartments in Washington.
Mr.. Dubois, it will be remembered
. has been made a member of the
boundary commission between the
United States and Canada, a position
| that is always filled from the ranks
of former senator's, and in this case
1t was due to a Democrat. 1t was
given to Mr.. Dubois largely through
the personal efforts of Senator Bor-
ali and the congressional delegation
from Utah. Senator Borah took the
lead in the matter, giving as his
reasons, that for forty years Mr.. Du-
bois had been serving Idaho wheth-
er in Office or out, that he had al
ways been clean and honest, no graft
or shady connections ever having
been ascribed to him, that he had
taken the lead in securing statehood
for Idaho, and that this honorable
and lucrative diplomatic position
was one he was eminently qualified
to fill and was deserving of it.
The commission meets twice a
year and the rest of the time the
members have merely to keep we'll
informed on all questions and COM
mercial and civil problems arising
from the administration of affairs
along the boundary.
Mr.. Dubois says he has always re-
garded 1t as a fine achievement to
have secured statehood for Idaho,
to have led in adding a state to the
American Union, and has felt much
satisfaction in it. That work Gull
minated in the presidents signature
on July 3, 1890, and it was an
nounced as a Fourth of July gift.
Now after third of a century, he
received this fine appointment on
July 8, and he esteems 1t as the sec
ond finest thing that has come to
him In life, and in accepting it, prac-
tically life position, he regards 1t
as marking the climax and finishing
touch Of his official career.
Mr.. Dubois and President Cool
idge never met until after this ap-
pointment and when he went in
company with Addison T. Smith to
thank the president for it, they both
felt acquainted and chatted for
three-quarters of an hour.

A Nation of Renters.

Home building in the United
States must go on for years, for
the American people have become
a nation of rent payers. They are
crowded in unsanitary tenements
and just as crowded in expensive
apartments. Such conditions ZEN
tirely destroy the real meaning OF
home and the far reaching effects
of home ownership. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that sound and sober
citizenship does not find its origin
in the rented fiat, yet in America
the national tendency to become
rent payers increases as the popu-
lation increases. In spite of fire.
quent reports of home building
booms, home ownership has ac-
tually been falling at the rate OF
three per cent, each ten years
About IS per cent of the people
of this nation are renters paying
the taxes, the upkeep and the In
terest charges on the real estate
