FLEET PROPOSED
Budget Head Lord BaIks at
Vast Expenditure
DEsrROYERs TRANSFER UP
Coast Guard Would Man Navy Ships
To Satisfy Daueherty's Ruling
Use OF Mine
sweepers.

Washington.-The Treasury De
partment's plan to ask Congress
for SOS, 100000 to equip the Coast
Guard to fight rum runners has
been vetoed by Budget Director
Lord.
President Coolidge had approved the
plan.
Now the Treasury is working out
substitute plan which includes:
!. Immediate transfer Of a large
number Of destroyers to the Coast
Guard by the Navy Department, to
enabls It to go into action against rum
smugglers on a large scale without
delay
2. Embarkation on a progressive
program OF new ship construction for
the Coast Guard, with retirement of
the destroyers as the new vessels are
commissioned.
This plan has not yet received
Lords approval but 1t Is understood
to be satisfactory to the Treasury and
Navy departments. Final decision will
be made by Lord this week.
Secretary MELONS original plan con
templated the immediate expenditure
OF from $40 100000 to $4,000. 900 for
20 new revenue cutters and several
millions additional for 400 swift motor
boats and personnel. General Lord
baked because Of the huge outlay Of
funds it contemplated, It IS learned.
As an alternative, Lord is said to
have proposed that 20 or more idle
ns.y mine-sweepers Of approximately
tl'> ,same dimensions and seaworthi-
MSS but OF inferior speed, be substi-
tnted for the projected cutters at a
saving OF s10.O00.0 900 or s15,0O0.OO
Lord argued that the Coast Guard.
already operates two mine-sweepers
Transferred by the Navy last year, and
Coast Guard officials have said they
are satisfactory.
Both the Treasury Department and
the Coast Guard fatty refused such
AU1Anpi ouNec On tAc SiOdhu that lic
sweepers. while adequate for some
purposes. are totally inefficient against
srnaeglers.
BY using the destroyers, the sum re-
Qulred for providing the personnel to
operate them. and purchasing the feet
Of motorboats for inshore work. would
be cut to s1s 100000. which. 1t is be-
lleved, may be asked for Congress
within the next few weeks.

outlook.
PRESENT PLAN DENOUNCED

Washington. - Lower surtaxes
on large incomes will increase
Treasury revenues, as well as stim.
ulate business enterprise, Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon as
serts in a letter vigorously de
Tending the tax-reduction plan.
Mr.. Mellon urges the application TO
income-tax rates Of the same principles
used so successfully by Henry Ford in
the marketing Of automobiles.
The present price paid for a large
income. Mr.. Mellon points out, is so
exorbitant that the taxpayers avoid II
by investing their capital in tax.
exempt securities.
This practice, according to the Sec.
retary, both diminishes Government
revenue and destroys enterprise and
initiative so as to threaten American
business supremacy in the world.
The present tax system with its high
surtaxes, in Mr.. Melons opinion, not
only fails to reach the American peo-
pie in proportion to their ability to
pay, but also annihilates the individ-
ual initiative which produces wealth
for the whole country and revenue for
the Government.
American taxation, he urges, must
be adjusted upon basis Of sound
principles that will yield profit to the
people and revenue to the Treasury.
Under present conditions. according
to Mr.. Mellon, business enterprises are
being curtailed throughout the coun-
try because Of the fact that high sur.
taxes threaten to confscate profits,
whereas. II loss ensues, the Individual
alone must suffer.

made the recess appointment last March, it was pointed out that al though unusual for the executive to give recess appointm aht to a nom- ince previously rejected hy the sen ate, there was no law expressly for bidding such action.
 The only law which seems to bear on the Cohen case at all is that no recess appointec may receive back salary unless his appointment is later confirmed by the senate, if the Va cancy filled by the recess appoint ment has occurred during session of congress--which was the case with the New Orleans Controlershfp Cohen, however, is rcputed to be well-to-do. and the salary ef the of- flee is of much less importance to him than the prestige carried by it. The administration apparently is aware of this, as well as of the fact that since hc is likely to control the republican delegation from Louisiana at Cleve- land, next June, it is important that he should be pacified.

 Cohru's claim to tn" nomination is said to rest on the ra2t tat he is the republican negro Ir1I"r in New Orleans. and has the backing of the republican national rommltttr. which only a few weeks ago discarded thr instructions Of last ears party con vcntion and refused 10 curtaii the rep rosentation of the southern states in the next convention. Despite he fact that this latter move Was taken al lhe instance Of the administration, its leaders fully appreciate the fact that Mr. Coolidge may osC the .ntirc Louisiana vote unless tha nomination of Cohen as controller Of the port Of New Orleans IS confirmed.
 Opposed to the Cohen appointment are the business interests of New Or leans. the entire Louisiana delegation in congress, and pretty much the en- tire weight Of public sentiment of the white people of the south.
