Mellon Bill
Cannot Pass.
as Written.
g. 0. p. Leaders Admit, for
First Time, Rates of Re.
duction, Particularly on
Surtaxes, Must Be
Changed.
But Coolidge Stands Pat


Washington, Jan. 12.-Republican
leaders in congress publicly admitted
tonight for the first time that the
Mellon reduction bill could not be
passed as written, and that the rates
of reduction particularly on surtaxes
which Mellon prescribed, would have
to be altered materially.
Coming on the heels of the White
House announcement of last week
that President Coolidge Is uncom
promisingly opposed to any exten'
sive tinkering with the rates propos-
ed by the secretary of the treasury.
this admission Of the republican
leaders tonight was disconcertirg to
friends of the Mellon plan.
It appeared tonight, from state
ments by both republican and demo-
posed by Mellon viii have to be ad
vanced materially beyond the 25 per
cent maximum before either house
or senate will agree.
. I'VE are considering the Mellon
bill as a suggestion to the ways and
means committee" said Representa-
tive Nick Longworth. republican
leader of the house.
No Arbitrary Programs.
Congress will ret no one write
for 1t tax or tariff legislation. Con-
gress is jealous of this prerogative
and the administration branch of
the government cannot expect TO
submit arbitrary programs.
Last year the house voted a maxi
mum surtax of 80 per cent and this
ate was increased by the senate to
50 per cent. I do not think this
house would vote lower maximum
surtax. | would like to see the sur
tax maximum placed at that partic-
ular point where capital will not seek
tax-free investment. l do not knew
that point. / do not believe anyone
does.
"All tax and tariff legislation is by
compromise, and so far as I'm con-
eerned l do not understand that
President Coolidge has stated he
would accept no change in the Mellon
tax reduction suggestions"
Representative Green, republican
of Iowa, chairman of the ways and
means committee, agreed with Long
worth that compromise would have
to be worked out.
For People Generally.
But / am more concerned with
bringing out bill that will meet the
approval of the republicans in con-
gress and the people generally than
in getting one that will meet the ap-
proval of the democrat members OF
the house." said Green. "The demo
Gratis already have made some con-
cessions in their surtax rates and l
think It quite likely others will be
forthcoming.
"rhe republican members OF the
ways and means committee are dis
posed to receive any overtures that
are consistent with their position"
The committee today completed
consideration of the purely admins.
trative features OF the Mellon bill,
and is ready to tackle the question
of rates on Monday, which will
mark the real beginning of the tax
fight in the 6Sth congress. There
will be approximately a solid month
OF hearings, consideration of amend
1nents and proposed changes in the
rates Mellon has prescribed.

"Fish Always Follow a Light"

From the Argonaut.
We have had women with tattooed

forget-me-notS painted around their
neckS and down their bosoms, women
with bracelets and anklets and arm
lets and nose buttons and all the rest
of it. Now we are threatened With

whose hair was as luminous as q
steamer track in tropical waters. To
get just the right effect the lights
had to be dimmed, but when condi-
tions were good it was startling, not
to say enchanting.
The chief of the hairdressing salon
at the Savoy explained in part when
appealed to. "The effect is produced
by using a lotion containing some
luminous property" he said. ITO my
knowledge 1t has not been used in
London before. 1t is said to be harm
less, and the effect IL undoubtedly
attractive. 1t does not reveal it's
presence except in total or semi
darkness. In a very strong sun

1t is understood that the owner of
the glowing hair is an italian
countess who has been staying at

English women. At least. 1t seems
reasonable to think she will: they

Sometimes there is conflict in GUS
toms. What is religious to one mind
may be ridiculous to another, and vice

tion, where 4 crowd of tourists had
gathered to watch the last 1nde-
penderce day tribal dance of the

Tomahawking the hair by Indian
maidens was done many moons be-

chopped off their locks in grief when
their lovers were killed in battle.
Having this imprinted on their pinds

caused IL feeling of sympathy among

Motors Boom Old Inns.
From the Nations Business.

Motor car travel is making over the
characteristics of hotels along the
highways. Old inns take new lease

in the wind. The meager custom of
travellers of stage coach days did not
require pretentious invitation. The
speed and availability of the motor

tracted by pleasant wayside places of
refreshment, and they are likely to
be better customers for recognition
of their means of travel.
So it is in England that tavern
keepers have shrewdly trimmed their
enterprises to accord with the spirit
of the times. Signs on many inns and
roadside hotels now bear new names
taken from the nomenclature of
motor transportation. A similar re-
christening took place with the es-
tablishment of railroads. and ther
were those who mourned the passing
of the good old days. As automobile
traffic is established in rural regions,
1T will leave a record of it's passing.
English highways that once were
Roman leg1ons now bear the softer
tread Of rubber tires-a sort of auto
graph, so to say.
