MELLON URGES
 EARLY TAX CUT
Advocates Immediate Ac- tion On Proposed 25
 Per Cent Reduction

WASHINGTON, March 23.-With the revenue bill facing several more weeks of study by the Senate finance committee, impetus was given today to the movement to remove the provision for 9 per 4cent reduction in income taxes, payable this year, and incor- porate it in a. resolution for immediate action.
 Secretary Mellon, in letter to Rep
 resentative Alderman, republican, New Jersey, commenting on the latter's res olution proposing to eliminate the Sep tember instanment payments, said he preferred the proposed cut be made as provided in the revenue bill, but sug- gested the provision be cared for by resolution which would assure settle ment of the, proposed cut before June 15 when second installments are due.
 Would Allow Refunds
 installment is. paid mad further reduc- tion of 25 per cent of the first in stallment to be made when the second installment is pal, and further deduc- tions of % per cent in the second and remaining installments when they are paid. If the entire tax were paid March 15, it would allow 9 per cent re- fund.
 The secretary's letter to Mir. Acker- man said:
 Your resolution provides in sub stance that a taxpayer paying person. al income taxes in 1923 in quarterly installments may omit the September 15 installment and if he has paid in full on March 15, he is entitled to q returned of one quarter of the amount paid after his return is audited by the treasury With the principle that it is advisable to permit the taxpayer to get the benefit of the expected sur plus in 1924 by reduction of 9 per cent of the tax payable in the calendar year, 1924, am thoroughly in accord. There may be considerable .adminis trative difficulty i'll ,t the particular method which is contemplated by the
 Advocates Plans Adoption Tt seems to me that it would be simpler, and, certainly preferable from the standpoint of the treasury, if the plan incorporated in the revenue act of 1924 in the form it was passed by the House were adopted in separate resolution. Under this plan if the re- solution were gpassed before June 15, the taxpayer could take on that day a credit of 25 per cent of his March payment plus 25 per cent of his June payment; in September he could take 25 per cent of his September payment al. in December 25 per cent of that payment. If he had paid in full in March he would have refunded the 9 per cent credit"

WASHINGTON, March z3.-Gen- orally speaking, May Day as gust the first day of May, but plans announced by the American Child Health assOcia- tion indicate that next May Day is to be a day of delight for youngsters all over the United States, day of self searching and good resolutions on the part of their elders, and day of awak- ening on the part of the public to its responsibility for the health of the na- tion's children.
 The American Child Health associa- tion, which numbers among its officers and directors many of the leading Amercan authorities on social prob lems, has just completed the outline of a movement, which it will organize and sponsor, to enlist the entire machinery of the country in a demonstration on May 1 that shall bring the situation and its needs clearly before the people.
 35,OOO, ,OOO Children
 The plan was laid before President Coolidge last week in letter from Herbert Hoover, president of the As sociation, in which he pointed out that scientific investigations and sur veys have shown that Amerca is be- hind whta the national conscience should demand for the public protec- tion of the well-being of children.
 I've have in America upward of 35,O00,00O children" Mir. Hoover wrote, ''the great majority of whom are the object of the utmost solici- tude upon the part of their parents. but no amount of individual solici- tude can correct the dangers to which they are subject in many communities by failure of community safeguards.
 With all the enlightenment and all the prosperity of our great people, we find that in five other nations there is a lower death rate among infants {: we find in 10 other nations lower rate of fatality among mothers at child birth; the great national draft in- dicated that something like 80 per cent of the men examined were deficient in some particular or another.
 "We find in many of our commun- ities impure sources of water and inn pure supplies of milk; and in many insufficient consumption of milk; in others we find inadequate provision for health inspection and play grounds; we find archaic systems and incompetent administration of public health in many cities and towns we still have large numbers of children

been widespread misrepresentation,
Senator La Toilette said: THE Pro-
gressives propose merely to submit a
constitutional amendment, at some
future date and after opportunity FOR
adequate public consideration. which
shall answer the question: Shall the
people rule through their elected rep
resentatives or shall they be ruled by
a bare majority of the Supreme Court?
The proposed amendment will not de-
prive the Supreme Court of any pow
er whatever specifically conferred
upon 1T by the Constitution of the
United States.
Charges Court Plan Distorted.
THE false statement also is being
spread that this proposed amendment,
II adopted. would deprive the Supreme
Court of power to pass on the consti-
tutionality of acts of State legiSla-
lures, and that 1t would imperil fun
damental rights. such as are involved
in the Oregon school case and the
Nebraska case.
81 say that statement is false. The
proposed constitutional amendment Will
not in any way affect the power
OF the Supreme Court. except as re-
lated to acts of Congress. 1t will not
in any way restrict the power of the
court to pass upon the acts Of State
legislatures.
Thus it is that with false propa-
ganda and the use of money in huge
sums in doubtful States, the reaction
airy interests propose to secure this
election for their favorite candidate.
