insisted that the greatest reduction
should be afforded those whose for

That the Mellon plan was an un-
just proposal and could not with
stand an intelligent and scrutinizing
analysis is conClusively shown by
the failure of the recent Republican
national convention to indorse it.
Endorsement of Interests
The Republican party succeeded
in having it Endorsed by every great
special interest in the country while
the measure was pending before
Congress and by millions of people
who had no opportunity to study it,
but who lent themselves to propa-

Had No Chance

The whole truth is, that every in
telligent official in Washington knew
that the drastic Mellon proposal at
no time had a ghost Of a chance Of
enactment into law The most ig.
norant person in America ought to
know that no Congress would single
out 500 OF the great financial
giants Of America, cut their taxes in
half, while at the same time making
a far less reduction on the $500. 900
income taxpayers. and in addition
completely ignore tariff aggregating
profits Of $500 100000 for benefits
OF special interests and yet. this is
what the present Administration in
sisted upon having done.
The high surtax imposed by the
new law includes those persons only
whose income is more than $500. 600
annually A man can afford to pay
a very liberal income tax on the
amount Of his income in excess Of
100000 year. The protection he
receives from his Government in
safeguarding his vast possessions
makes the protection given by the
Government to a man with asS64, 900
income infinitely small, and affords
no just ground, I submit. for com
plant, and it certainly affords no
evidence of hostility to property
rights.
Us 1t not clear, that II the Demo
Gratis had not framed a reasonable
substitute tax measure which alone
could command a majority of the
votes in Congress, as against the
Mellon plan, there would have been
no tax relief to the American people
at this time.

Reduction Without Bonus

when the Mellon bill made its ap.
pearance in Congress it was accom-
panied by a statement showing a
surplus Of $4,000 900, and the as
surance was given that the country
would get reduction of taxes to
that extent, provided Congress did
not enact bonus legislation. The dec
laration was emphatically made that
we could not have tax reduction and
pay a bonus. What has been the
result?
THE Democrats and Progressive
Republicans in Congress did not be-
lieve this and proceeded to marshal
their forces for the defeat of the
Mellon plan, with the result that the
actuary Of the Treasury, on the day
before the conference report carry
ing the Simmons Garner surtax and
normal tax rates was adopted by
the Senate. sent to that body state
ment showing that the bill contain
ing the Simmons Garner amendment
in the sum of 1851 900 900. or in
other words. a reduction of $32, 000,-
900 more than Mr.. Mellon himself,
claimed the people would get under
his plan. 1t is most interesting to
note that some of the strongest
newspaper advocates of the Mellon
plan are now admitting that the new
Democratic law will make a still
greater reduction than conceded by
the actuarY

Praises PrOgressiyes

For this great reduction in taxes,
it ,Hould not be forgotten much is
due fl. the Progressive Republicans
and t.. Farm Labor men in Con
gress VINO gave every aid they could
to bring this relief to the people,
and just here want to add there
are many worse people in this world
than the Progressive Republicans
and the Farm Labor men who are
in Congress.
Il believe that their motives are
high and patriotic. and that they
have, beyond doubt, meant to, and
have rendered an unselfish service
to their country in what they did
to tighten the peoples tax burdens.
This actuary pointed out that,
under the new measure there is not
only a reduction in the peoples
taxes of 1851 ,O00,0 900, but there will
be surplus of S13s,000 900. Under
our new law, therefore, the Govern
ment will be. able to pay the budget;
to reduce taxes to the amount of

A guide book designed for the pros

Of handbook setting forth details
which assert the steps necessary to &C
Quiring such property.
This aid to home builders is a pub
licatiOn entitled, "How to Own Your
Home"
Particular stress is placed by the
handbook on the agreements which
should be definitely entered into with
regard to financing, building and pur.
chasing. The points which should bs
clearly defined are emphasized.
While conceding that the great ma
jority of individuals and companies
with which the home seekers deal are
honest and wish to do business hon.
Orably, the handbook insists that mo
good business man should object to
having his obligations, as he under
stands them, set down in writing and

AS for the financing of home build
ing, the handbook gives sound infor-

borrowing money to buy home Is
no disgrace" 1t declares. ION the con-
trary, 1t is normal and in many ways
desirable. Many families in meeting
payments on loan have learned the
habit of saving, and have continued 1t

pendence."
1t is desirable, the book points out,
for family about to buy home to
possess minimum of 20 per cent Of
the value of the house in cash, even
though arrangements are often made
for purchase with a lesser amount.
The advantage of larger cash pay
ment is found In the fact that 1t helps
to insure loan at low rate Of in

In the selection Of home site. re-
quirements are carefully discussed
from the standpoint of family life,

tion to work and to shopping centers,

POLICE
Arrest Is Made and Master
Held on Dry Law Charge
After Battle.

The modus operandi of extracting
from the intimate corners of four

all it's cracked up to be.
Four equines, occupying those four
stalls. and a playful bulldog with
a decided aversion to strangers,
making in all a. quintet, routed tenn
porarily Detectives Cole and Dowd,
of the Fourth precinct, when they
attempted to raid the stall today.
Dowd lost little time and he seat
of his trousers in discovering that
the hound didn't like his looks.
Cole made like discovery, with
more felicitious results, when he
entered the stalls.
However, the hound had a mas
ter, and the horses a groom, and
when they had been summoned to
quiet the recalcitrant animals, the
raid was pulled off. Ten gallons
of nondescript hootch was found
secreted, it's said, about the stalls,
which is, after all, a good place
for such stuff.
William G. Smith, manager of
the stables, 81 Missouri avenue
northwest, was released on $1,5OO
bond for a hearing on charges of
illegal possession of the liquor.
After one sniff of the LIQUOR, the
cops said it was no wonder that
the horses and the "mut" chased
them. Twas the kind that makes
