Houston Post (Dem. Inherently,
the Mellon tax reduction plan is de-
sirable because it relieves the small
Garner of a considerable share of his
burden and at the same time encour-
ages wealth to enter productive de-
vel0pment and stimulate the COM
merce, and industry of the whole ma
ton, to the benefit of all, and in so
doing materially increases the govern
ment's revenues from the larger in
comes.
Philadelphia Ledger-Mr. McAdoo
has come to be one of the most note
worthy of the democratic witch doc
tors. He is a well-known railroad
batter, a government apos-
tie, soldier-bonusite, and he wishes
to extend special privileges to the
farmers as special class. Mr.. Cool
idge is opposed to almost everything
MI. McAdoo favors.
Chicago Tribune--Mr. Mellon wants
to stimulate business by relieving tax
burdens so that prosperity will be gen.
eral and what taxes are needed will
be easy to pay. Mr.. Garner wants to
gather votes by relieving taxation for
the voters, regardless of any effect
upon prosperity.
Troy Times-The 100000 or more
income taxpayers and 100,000,000 9TH
ers who will indirectly profit by the
tax reduction of the Mellon plan,
will refuse to accept a substitute
for they are satisfied that there is
nothing "just as good"

sword.
Fort Wayne Sentinel-Americans
who are not misled by false labels |
and misrepresentation realize |
that the Box peace plan" is virtually |
the same old league of nations which !
they buried four years ago-will eag-
erly clip the ballots from the daily
press. And they will vote "No!'
Houston Post-Democrat in con-
gress who regard the demand for tax
reduction as a Conspiracy" may think
they are playing sharp politics, but I
IN reality they are preparing the way
FOR the people to offer the presidency I
to Mr.. Coolidge almost without op-
position.
st. Louis Times - 1t being far
harder to pay tax on small income
than it is to pay that on a large one,
The Mellon tax reduction bill ought
10 the be the most popular measure
before congress. The small income
fellows are the giant majority.
Troy Times-The prize plan for
American participation in the league
Of nations would leave Uncle Sam
sitting on the bleachers looking at
he ball game, without even the priv
lege of throwing a pop bottle at the
umpire.
