MELLON TO HAND his OrP0N-
ENTS Al LEMON

WASHINGTON, d. CAPRI 25.---
The obstructionists in Congress made
two discoveries this week; the first
being that the so called propaganda
in favor of the Mellon tax bill was
not propaganda at all but an ex-
press on the part of the people who
are with President Coolidge in want
ing congress to get down to work /,
pass a tax measure that will reduce
taxes; the second was that the plan
to GUST Secretary Mellon from the
cabinet was loaded with dynamite.
In regard to the first discovery the
lawmakers have been receiving word
from ''the folks back home" that
they stood behind the president in
his demand for action, it was propa-
ganda but the propaganda was from
Mr.. and Mrs. taxpayer who had be-
come tired of petty politics as play
ed by the minority for the past four
months. If few more thousand
citizens, irrespective of what their
political faith may be, send on let
tiers the chances are that they will
get tax reduction measure passed
this session and one that will carry
wit hit Coolidge's demand for $3.50
reduction TO rthe 1928 taxes, just a
few more letters will do it.
Senator Robinson, Of Arkansas,
majority leader, has seen the hand
writing on the wall and disavowed
any part in his democratic colleagues
plan to harpoon Mellon. 1t does not
matter whether one likes the secre-
tary of the treasury or not every
one will have to acknowledge that
under his skillful guidance the great
national debt has been reduced about
$4,000, 100000 and that is the thing
that the people want.
If the minority are sincere in their
efforts to aid the people Of the ma
ton they will get suqarely back of
the president and put his measure
through. President Coolidge is
stronger today than he was month
ago TO rthe voters realize he has been
fighting their battle and fighting a.
gainst heavy odds. His appointment
Of Marian F. Stone, dean of Columbia
University is another evidence of the
A - e. L
best interest of the people instead Of
playing politics by selecting some
man who might carry some votes
with him. Those in Washington are
more than ever impressed with the
similarity between Coolidge and Lin
coins method of working, namely,
direct and honest action for the bene-
fit of the nation as a whole.
