CLEAR DECKS, SLOGAN
] HEARD IN CONGRESS
Better Give Business Definite Ex-
pectation Than Uncertainty by
! Tax Bill Veto, Is Argument.
MAY DEFY COOLIDGE AGAIN
Some G. 0. P. Chiefs Prefer Com
: promise to Last Ditch Policy.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Uncertainty is the principal foe of
business in America today and. there
{ fore. administration leaders are de-
termined that every effort shall be
made to adjourn Congress and end
the uncertainty by June Z.
Secretary MELONS disappointment
over the failure of his tax revision
plan, which logically means that he
will recommend that the bill be vetoed
. by President Coolidge, carries with it
the implication that he may resign
from the cabinet unless the Chief
Executive stands with him. But the
older heads in politics are urging the
administration to go slow about a
veto lest the Republican party play
di- 'ectly into the hands of the Demo-
Gratis.
Might Override Veto.
Nj Melons theory has been right
along that If the bill were vetoed, a
separate resolution reducing 1928
taxes payable this year could be
passed and the issues in the pending
bill itself fought out in the cam.
paign. But the Democratic coalition
with the insurgent Republicans
would simply operate to tack en- to
the joint resolution enough amend
me nts to make it objectionable again
to the Treasury Department
Indeed, there is every indication
that If Mr.. Coolidge vetoed the tax
bill it would be passed overwhelIn-
ingly over the veto. This is because
Congress as a whole thinks the bill
that has come out of conference is a
compromise, the best bargain that
can be obtained at the present time.
that it represe ntS material cut over
the present law and that further re-
visions can be obtained at the Decem-
Der session of Congress.
The motto of Congress as rule, is
take what You can get" An uncom-
promising disposition on the part of
the Executive would, in the present
circumstances, mean a prolongation
of the tax controversy. and just now
Senate leaders are saying the impor-
tant thing is to get some tax bill
passed and digested so that business
can make its plans accordingly.
Farm Hill Uncertainty.
Hanging over the business world,
however, are other questions of which
Congress has as yet failed to dispose.
The McNary- -Haugen bill, carrying & an
appropriation of $500, 100000. will

WEEDS MUST Be CUT
DR. CHAMBIlSS SAYS
Residents Being Notified By
Officers to Clean Up Prernis-
es Within 5 Days

All weeds in back yards, on va
cant lots, and elsewhere in Amerl-
Gus must be cut this week. After
that time cases will be made
against property owners where
weeds are found, and they must ex-
plain their delinquency before Re
corder Fort.
This decision was reached today
when DR.. j. w. Chambliss started
Officer Arlington upon a special
inspection tour. His orders are to
leave 'y2llow slips" with all house
holders where weeds are found UNI
cut and at the end of five days an
other inspection tour will be made.
On this trip wherever weeds are
found still uncut cases will be made
against the offending householders.
"a good many householders have
already cut their weeds, and many
have also emptied all water con-
tainers upon their premises. But
still we find a few wiggle-tails on
inspection trips. Malaria to date
has been kept fairy we'll under con-
troll, but this is the beginning of
the dangerous season. The mos
quito breeds in water, and recent
frequent rains have filled cans and
bottles everywhere with water.
Householders who neglect suca
containers upon their premises pro-
vide ideal breeding places for the
stegomvia faciati mosquito which
spreads flu which is equally
and perhaps, even more-as dan
gerous as malaria. The malaria
mosquito also breeds in water, and
practically everywhere we have
found mosquitoes this summer
their sources has been traced di-
rectly to stagnant water upon or
near the premises where the pests
have appeared"
