IGNORE PARTY LINES
ON MELLON TAX BILL

Secretary Mellon has laid his pro-
posed revenue bill before the committee
and the discussion has already result
ed in an alignment in congress that
ignores party lines. If you will take
the, two bills, the Mellon bill and the
Democratic substitute. you will find
that the Mellon bill gives less reduc-
ton in taxation and favOrs those with
large incomes over those with small
incomes The Democratic substitute
not only makes greater reduction in
taxation, and thus brings more relief
to the taxpayers, but the reductions
proposed discriminate in favor of the
masses, instead of the holders of large
incomes.
Congressman Hull. chairman of the
Democratic National committee, has
made comparison of the rates and
pointed out that the Democratic sub
stitute gives more relief than the Mel
lon bill to over six million taxpayers
while the Mellon bill gives more re-
lief than the Democratic bill to only

Department of Public Works
Will Immediately Start on
$4,000 Project in Canyon
Money for Building Mile and
Half of Standard Highway
from Gasoline Tax Fund

One and one-half miles of standard
highway will he built Immediately at
what is known as the Fiddle creek
grade, on the North and South high
way, between Lucille and higgins, it
was announced by ]. ], McCreedy,
resident engineer, in charge of high
way construction, who was in Grange
vile recently from Salmon river.
From Gasoline Tax
Cost of the work will be $4,000. and
the money will be provided from the
state gasoline tax fund. No contract
will be let for this stretch of road.
but the work will be done by labor
employed by the state department of
public works, under the direct super
vision of Engineer McCreedy.
BY construction of this piece of road,
the last difficult grade in the Salmon
river country, between Whitebird and
New Meadows, will be eliminated. The
road will be of standard width, twenty
feet
211s Miles to Build
When the Fiddle creek road is COM
pleted. there will be only twenty-one
and a half miles of unfinished highway
between Grangeville and New Mea-
dOws, and this twenty-One and half
miles was repaired during the late
fall and early winter, and is in good
condition. TurnOuts were built the
road was widened, sharp rocks were
eliminated and it was otherwise i'm
proved.
Persons who travel the Salmon river
road during the coming summer will
have no cause to complain as to high
way conditions, said Mr.. McCreedy.
Engineer McCreedy asserts that d.
r. Murphy & Co., who are finishing a
highway contract on Salmon river, be-
tween Whitebird and Lucille, will COM
plete their work about April 1.

twelve thousand are persons with
large incomes.
No bill could better illustrate the
difference in the policy of the two
parties. the Democratic party favoring
reduction for all. both rich and poor.
while the Republican party favors
more relief to the rich than TO the
poor. The revenue measure when it
passes congress and reaches the pres
idrnt will bear more resemblance to
the Democratic substitute than to Sec

SURVEY HIGHWAY
ROUTES IN TOWN
McCreedy and Grew Are at
Work Checking Streets
in Grangeville

]. ]. McCreedy, resident highway
engineer, and crew are making new
survey, in order to determine the most
advantageous route to run the North
and South Highway through Grange
vile north. One proposed route turns
at the old brewery, where the high
way enters Grangeville, then crosses
under the railroad bridge, and runs
parallel to the railroad track through
the Fem Highway district, thence over
the present route, into Cottonwood.
The newly proposed route VIII take
the highway through Main street TO
State street, thence north to the Albert
Miller ranch, thence in Northwestern
Iy direction until it enters the route
surveyed earlier in the spring.
Reason for the survey was brought
by action of the Grangeville CONNER
cial club, in an effort to cause tourist
traffic to enter Grangeville, thereby
stimulating interest in business ana
community.
Mr.. McCreedy stated that the De
partment of Public Works, at Boise
would pass on the decision as to
which route would be chosen, follow
ing his report.
