MUST LOWER TAXES

Everyone desires a reduction of
taxes, and there is great preponder-
ance of sentiment in favor of taxation
reform. When I approved the pres
ent tax law, l stated publicly that l
did so in spite of certain provisions
which believed unwise and harmful.
One of the most glazing of these was
the making public of the amounts as
sessed against different income tax
payers. Although that damage has
now been done, believe its contin-
uation to be detrimental to the public
welfare and bound to decrease public
revenues, so that it ought to be re-
pealed.
Anybody can reduce taxes, but it is
not so easy to stand in the gap and
resist the passage of increasing APP
preparation bills which would make
tax reduction impossible. 1t will be
very easy to measure the strength OF
the attachment to reduced taxation by
the power with which increased ap-
preparations are resisted. If at the
close Of the present session the con-
gress has kept within the budget
which l propose to present, it will
then be possible to have moderate
amount of tax reduction and all the
tax reform that the congress may
wish for during the next fiscal year.
The country is now feeling the direct
stimulus which came from the pass
age Of the last revenue bill, and under
the assurance of a reasonable system |
of taxation there is every prospect of
an era of prosperity of unprecedented
proportions. But it would be idle to
expect any such results unless bust
ness can continue free from excess
profits taxation and be accorded
system of surfaces at rates which
have for their object not the punish
ment of success or the discourage
ment Of business, but the production

OAKLAND CRASH

SACRAMENTO SHORT LINE TRAIN
TELESCOPES HEAVY
STREET TRAIN
early Morning Passengers are PIowed
to Death as Train Waits
Signal to Proceed
on Way

Oakland, Cal.,-Eight persons wer
killed and approximately forty In
jured on the Key Route system whe1
a train from Sacramento crashed int
the rear of a crowded electric trair
bound from Twelfth street, Oakland
to San Francisco with early morning
commuters. The cause of the accl
dent has not been determined. Five
of the injured are believed to be dy-
ing.
One of the dead was identified as
C. C. O'Loughlin, as second street,
San Francisco.
Another of the dead was identified
as Fred J. Gibson, IS, marine en-
gineer, living on Goat island in San
Francisco bay. He died in the Oak
land emergency hospital.
The accident happened few min
utes after 8 o'clock. The three-car
Key system train included what is
known as the Broadway Special and
the Twelfth street local. These cars
were crowded with commuters bound
for San Francisco. The train had
stopped on block signal about mid
way on the three mile Oakland pier.
1t had hardly paused when the Sac
ramento Short Line train, empty ex-
cept for the trainmen, crashed full
speed into the rear of the commuters
train.
The Short Line train, containing a
single car, had been running a few
hundred yards behind the Key Route
train. 1t telescoped the rear Key
Route car for about half its length.
The front end of the Short Line car
was demolished. Its conductor and
motorman had not been accounted for
several hours after the collision.
The Key Route train had the type
known as "side door cars" or those
without front or rear exits. Hence
it was necessary to break way with
axes to rescue the passengers. The
regular exits had been closed for the
trip across the pier.
Some victims were flung bodily |
from the train and were found lying |
on the ground of the fill beside the |
track. Others were pinned in hope
essly until the rescuers reached them.
None of the cars of the Twelfth
street train was derailed. Soon after
he accident the two front cars were
detached from the rear car that was
and were started for the
mole. The motorman tainted soon af-
;er the train began to move and pas
engers ran into the motorman's room
md stopped the train.
The motorman soon was revived
md took the train into the mole.

Coolidge Saves Big Fare

Chicago,-President Coolidge saved
the government approximately $1198
just short of the annul salary of a
government clerk-by his experiment
in making his present trip in an or
binary Pullman drawing room instead
of a private car. A special car would
have cost 1880 for the round trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge, Secretary
Slemp and one secret service man
would have travelled in it. Fares for
the Coolidge party totaled $4O5.36.
The remainder of the party does not
figure in any saving, because they al
ways travel in Pullman coaches.
