HOUSE BODY ACTS
TO CUT INCOME TAX
Ways and Means Commits
tee FaDors Big Slash

Washington.-An unexpected saving
of 1925, 100000 for persons paying in
come tax was virtually assured by the
action of the majority members of the
house ways and means committee, On
motion of Chairman William K.
Green of Iowa, the Republicans on
the committee agreed unanimously TO
include in the tax-reduction program
a retroactive provision making a fiat
reduction in income taxes to be paid
this year on last years incomes.
The rate Of the reduction was not
definitely, determined, but Chairman
Green stated it probably will be %
per cent.
It is not possible to go higher than
that, he said. Treasury experts adj
vised the committee that % per cent
cut would mean saving Of $225,OOO,-
900. The estimated surplus of $780,
100000 in the treasury, Green assert
ed, would be ample to take care Of
this amount The chairman explained
that the proposed reduction would
work this way:
Tax returns would go in as usual
by March 10, and the income taxes
computed in the regular manner on
the present rates.
Then % per cent would be Topped
off the net amount Of each individ-
uals tax.
When an individual pays the full
amount Of his tax in lump sum
when it first comes due, March 10,
Green went on, the amount Of the
reduction would be refunded to him.
Where payments are made in in
stallments, a provision will be made
to allocate the reduction over the re-
naming installments.

M'ADOO'S NAME
IN LEASE QUIZ
Doheny Also Hired CARR
son, Gregory, Lane and
Creel, He Says.

Washington.-The name of William
G. McAdoo was involved in the senate
oil investigation when Edward L. Do
heny testified that he had paid Mr.
McAdoo a total of $25O,OOO for legal
services in connection with a number
of oil transactions.
Mr.. Doheny also declared that he
had paid large sums to Thomas w.
Gregory, Lindley NJ. Garrison and
Franklin X. Lane, all cabinet members
under the Wilson administration, and
George Creel, an officer in the admin
istration. The cabinet members were
not, employed until after their connec-
ton with the government was ended
and their right to accept such position
was not questioned
The testimony of Mr.. Doheny never
theless is expected to result in Presi-
dent Coolidge selecting another Demo-
cratic attorney to take the place of
Mr.. Gregory in the oil prosecutions, as
1t is the desire of the President to
engage lawyers who have never been
employed by oil companies.
A statement issued by the White
House indicated the selection of an
other attorney in statement to the
effect that Mr.. Gregory might find it
embarrassing to serve because of his
former connection with Mr.. Doheny
The statement that Mr.. McAdoo had
been in the employ of Mr.. Doheny
brought a vigorous protest from the
Democratic presidential candidate, who
declared that the introduction of his
name was unjust, in that his connec-
ton with Mr.. Doheny had nothing to
do with leases and was confined to Mr..
Doheny's Mexican interests. Mr.. Nc
Adoo also said that the retainer which
was received by his firm amounted to
$4,000 a year for four years.
While MI. Doheny was on the stand
before the senate committee, the house
adopted the Walsh resolution propos-
Ing court action to annul the Teapot
Dome and California leases. The reso-
luton passed by vote Of 120 to 4.

No matter how long you have

hope. Mr.. John Wick, of Mono
monee Falls, Wisconsin, did not
and is a we'll man today. Ins Sep
TENDER, 1918, he wrote: 81 have
been user of Pe-ru-na for near

to try Pe-ru-na. While using the
first bottle, felt ! had found

The condition known as catarrh-
al is not confined to the nose and
throat. It may be found wherever
there are mucous membranes and
is responsible for a multitude of
troubles. Coughs and colds are
catarrhal as we'll as stomach and
bowel disorders.
Do as John Wick did. Keep Pc
ru-na in the house. It stimulates
digestion, aids in throwing off the
poisonous secretions, enriches the
blood, increases the resistance to
disease and promotes good health
generally.
Insist upon having genuine Pc

form. Your dealer has it.

London.-In his first public utter

Kellogg, the new American ambassa-

He laid the book aside; blew out

sword and spurs hanging under the
companion pictures beneath the

It, appears judges cannot stand

cruelty, which form the bulk of
work in that court. Judge Morgan
asked for a transfer on the plea
that the work had broken his
health.
Judge Arnold had the same ex.
perience, and was transferred. Some

and had to go to Europe for six
months.
