Advent of Labor Government
 Causes New Epoch in Britain

London, March 4.-It has never
 been the custom of English uncles to | tell their little nephews that they
 might grow up some day to be prime
 minister. as American boys are in-
 formed of their universal birth-given l opportunity to become president. But
 such may become the custom in Eng
 land, now that the old entrenched sys- tenn has been brought into the open
 and scattered by the advent of the la- bor government.
 Under the old system those who oc- cupied mighty political seats mad mostly been trained for public life | from boyhood. Prime ministers were personages with luXuriant family trees, public school boys'' whose ] later youth had likely been mellowed in the aged cloisters of Oxford or Cambridge. If the prime minister wasn't all of that as. for example. the self-made Lloyd George. well. most of those who helped him run the empire were. Examiners and ex-office boys and eS-locomotive cleaners and ex-mill workers didn't sit at the cabinet table in No. 10 Downing street., as they are doing now. The old-type minister was Lord This or Lord That or Sir Some thing else or, if he clung to plain Mir, it was not usually because he couldn't have title if he wanted one. But in the new cabinet headed ey Mir. Macdonald, nine of the 20 mem bers wore white collars only on Sum- days in their first struggles for exist ence. And some of the others were clerks.
 Macdonald, a boy reared by a grandmother in little fishing village in the north, felt the metropolitan urge at the age of 19 and came to London. But all London had to offer him was a job addressing envelopes and lickin gstamps. He got the equivalent of s2.50 week for it.

EXCESS PROFITS TAX
DEFEATED IN HOUSE
Democrats Split, and Vote Is
157 Against to "a For the
Amendment.

Washington, D. Can attempt to
restore the excess profits tax was
defeated in the house by the over
whelming majority Of "A to 157.
The amendment to the revenue re-
vision bill was offered by Represen-
tative Frear, insurgent tax leader, and
supported solidly by his group. The
democrats split, Floor Leader Garrett,
Tax Leader Garner and Representa-
tive Crisp of Georgia, of the ways and
means committee, leading more than
half of their forces against the pro-
posal, while Representative Oldfield,
Arkansas whip, and also a member
Of the ways and means committee, led
the remainder in support Of it.
The republican regulars voted as .
man against the amendment
The democratic leaders frankly con-
coded that If the excess profits tax
had been adopted, President Coolidge
would have been certain to veto the
bill.
House democrats, flushed by their
victory in the fight on the income tax
rates, continued their drive on the
revenue bill, gaining two important
amendments.
Republican insurgents, who made
possible the substitution of the Garner
income rates for the Mellon schedule,
joined with a practically solid demo
cratic vote to make stock dividend
profits subject to regular income
taxes rather than to the 12h per cent
capital asset tax and to extend the
provisions of the earned income tax
reduction.
An increase in the estate OF inheri-
lance taxes was voted by the house
in amending the revenue bill. The
change was bitterly opposed by re-
publican organization leaders.
The vote was 100 to 10, most of
the democrats joining the republican
insurgents in support of the amend
ment, which raises the maximum rate
from rs to 40 per cent.
An amendment which would allow
deductions for state estate taxes up
to rs per cent of the amount of the
tax imposed by the federal govern
ment also was adopted.
A proposal to impose a graduated
tax on the tax exempt securities Of an
estate was lost.
Republican members Of the house
who are former service men, renewed
their fight for the bonus.

of the system amounting on Novem-
Der 80 to about four million. He APP
parently holds one key to the prob
lem Of how high the farmers interest
rate shall be, for the figure set by
the Farm Loan system affects the
general rate deeply. So far as stock
helders are concerned annual divi-
dends returned to borrowers are in
effect lowering Of interest. But
dividends have been held up without
explanation. for long periods.
Farm Loan associations demand
that Title 8, which inflicts grave in
justice, shall be repealed. They want
the $4,000 salary abolished, econo-
my and a reduced board. They say
it is necessary that the new Interme-
date credit banks government owned,
be completely separated from the
Land Banks, farmer-owned, which
give mortgage credit. They empha-
size that Observation-Disclosures control
of their own banks be restored. They
beg for a lower interest rate as one
measure of relief in this time of agri-
cultural depression.

teal employees, had their salaries
raised to $4,000 a year, and other
expenses were o. KID which raisedl
operating cost close to 100000.
These arrangements, suggestive Of a
deal, were without authority or in
tent of Congress, the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Di-
rector of the Budget or Congress.
Up to last March the Treasury De-
partment paid the expenses of this
bureau precisely as it did the Bureau
of the Comptroller of the Currency.
Now farmers are obliged to pay them
out of the surplus savings of this sys-
tenn supposed to be cooperative. The
Federal Farm Loan Board backed
legislation known as the Strong bill
intended to assassinate the farm loan
associations, or cooperative groups
of farmers. 1t deprived farmers of
the majority control of their own
land banks whose stock they had paid
for. It freed the federal board from
strict accountability to anybody. It
left in the hands of politicians with
out dollar invested in the system
the sale of a quarter billion or more
bonds annually without the necessity
of letting stockholders know the pre-
else details of contracts made with
a syndicate of eastern bond houses
yet an infinitesimal "leak" of the
smallest fraction of per cent would
be fortune every year. The oppor-
tunity for exploitation such as Mr..
Coker points to on the surface exists
deeper down. And this bill passed
the Senate totally unconsidered or
even read, unknown to most of the
Senators, tucked in as Title of the
Agricultural Credits Act, a last-mo-
ment measure for short-time credit.
1t is an eternal disgrace that such
a thing could happen.
As fiscal agent Judge Lobdell han
dies all details of the bond selling in
large measure controlling the amount
of money obtained to loan. He has
previously accepted, according to his
own testimony, the advice of the east
ern syndicate about when to issue
bonds. Now, according to Mr.. Coker,
he has the disposition of the profits
