Not Tax Reform

The. bill. which decreases tax
rates in most instances to the lowest
level since 1917 and which was the
basis of the hottest legislative fight
Of the present session of congress
was declared by the president in a
$500 word statement issued coinci-
dent with his approval of the meas
ure to represent merely tax reduc-
ton not tax reform"
THE bill does not represent q
sound permanent tax policy and in
its passage has been subject to I'M
fortunate influence which ought not
to control fiscal questions" the ex-
ecutive said. "Still. in spite of its
obvious defecys, its advantages as a
temporary relief and a temporary
adjustment OF business conditions, in
view Of the uncertainty of a better
law within. a reasonable time, lead
me to believe that the best interests
OF the country would be served if
this bill became q law.
Less Political Next Time
- correction Of tts, defects may be
left to the next session of the con-
gress. Il trust a bill less political and
more truly economic may be passed
at that time. To that end l shall
bend all my energies"
The legislation as approved by the
president reduces the tax of almost
every federal taxpayer and cuts down
thu federal revenues by an amount
estimated at 1851, 100000 for the next
fiscal year. This reduction, however,
will not result in any deficit accord
ing to treasury experts.
The principal effect of the new law
will not be felt until next year, the
fifty per cent reductions in income

REV. LOWE PREACHED
FAREWELL SERMON
LEAVES FOR CHURCH THIS
WEEK. REV. WILLIAMS
breaches SUNDAY.

The Rev. S. F. Lowe. for about
three years pastor OF the Dawson
Baptist church, preached his farewell
sermon last Sunday and will leave
Thursday morning for Enterprise, Ala,
where he will become pastor of the
Baptist church there The Rev. Char
les D. Williams, of the Mercer univer-
sity faculty, who has supplied here
from time to time and conducted a
highly successful revival service last
spring, will occupy the pulpit here next
Sunday and arrangements have been
practically completed for him to sup
ply until a pastor can be selected.
1t is with the deepest regret that
church people of all denominations
see the Rev. Mr.. Lowe depart AS a
pastor, as man and as a citizen, Rev.
Lowe was an invaluable asset to the
community A determined effort was
made to keep him here but, feeling
that he had been called to greater
work, Rev Lowe remained fast to his
first decision to go. Baptists here feel
that if they are fortunate enough to
secure another pastor who will carry
on Rev. Loves work as he himself has
during the time he was pastor here,
they will be one of the fortunate con-
gregations OF the state
The Rev Williams is regarded
highly by all who know him. He is a
thinker as we'll as being an exception
ally able speaker and church people
feel certain that the number in attend
ance at his services will be in keeping
with his abilities as a preacher.
