MELLON PLEADS
FOR LARGE TAX
CUTS, REFORMS
Fifty Per Cent SurtaX Slash,
He Says, Would Release
Money for Business.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon, appear
ing before the Hous eWays and
Means Committee today prnnosed
tax reductions of between $3.50, ,O0O,-
600 and $300,000,00 by the new rev.
enue law, which sum he said the
treasury could spare.
Mellon declared strongly for a re-
duction of the maximum surtax
from 40 to 20 per cent; urged repeal
Of the Federal estate tax, gift tax
and certain other miscellaneous
taxes. declared strongly for repeal
Of the publicity section of the in
come tax law, and asked a con.
stitutional amendment prohibiting
the issuance OF tax exempt
securities.
Wants Reform
Mellon p eaded for a system of
tax reform rather than a general
tax reduction.
Taxes on automobiles, except
possibly on trucks. tires. and acces-
sories, should be retained. he said.
arguing that $50 long as the gov.
ernment is contributing over $9O.-
100000 a year to roads on which
these automobiles run they certain
ly ought to be made to pay their
way"
Mellon did not propose any COM
plete set of rates for a Mellon" plan
as he did in the case of the law
adopted last year. His major theme
was for reduction of the present
high surtax. This, he argued, would
stimulate business.
Reduce Surtax
Regarding the proposal to wipe
out taxes on incomes under $4,000,
the secretary declared:
"a man with a $4,000 salary does
not carry funds in non-productive
investments and a reduction of his
taxes does not. therefore. create ad-
ditional taxed income.
"A reduction in surtax. however.
increses the amount of capital which
is put into productive enterprises.
stimulates business and makes more
certain that there will be more $5, 900
jobs to go around.

Friend in DANGER

Dear Martha Lee: / nave a girl friend
who is to be married soon. They have
their date set. yet l think she is foolish
to put so much faith in a man.
She trusts him more than he deserves
He has trifed all along-and still has an
older woman in his life, whom Know ne
has not given up. Yet my friend thinks
that he has-or that he will.
Should she trust him SOP Why won't
she listen to others? She always believes
him first. He never has told her the
truth-or been true.
This other girl in his life naturally
wants to part these two. My friend has
wonderful taste. lovely and lots of
clothes. and is refined. Is she doing the
right thing TO marry hun, and put her
life in his hands, without knowing he
can be trusted?
Would YOU try TO stop her?
ANXIOUS r. r. B.
IF your friend knows of this mans
unworthiness, and still insists upon
marrying him. I am afraid there is
not much you can do. A girl as
deeply in love as that usually will
not listen to an outsider.
She is walking into danger, OF
course. If you can prove her fiance
has been deceiving her, you may be
able to save her from this marriage;
that is the only possibility.
Trust is essential to happiness In
marriage. But it should not be blind
trust, as this girls evidently is.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-04-13

One of the most significant of the
warning flags" is a mans promise
to give up some bad habit, OF worse
than habit, after he is married. He
cannot have very much love for the
girl he is to marry if he does not
desire to bring himself up to her
ideals as nearly as possible, not after,
but before, he makes her his wife.
Nothing is more certain than that,
if he does not feel this desire, he
will be less inclined than ever to full
fill his promises once the honeymoon
days are over.
The girl who marries a man after
a hasty reform undertaken just
for the sake of winning her takes a
risk. The girl who marries a man
after he refuses even this much
steers past the warning flag.

LETTER FROM BEATRICE SUM
MERS TO LESLIE PRES 3
COTT CONTINTTED


| could not help smiling. Leslie,
when 1 saw the polite way that
Paula %squelched that woman who
asked about men falling in love with
their ste~nographers.
I remember very distinctly a few
years ago of a man telling me that
no business man of any acumen
whatever paid any great social at
tention TO his own secretary.
'In the first place." he said, 'if a
man has a good secretary, he knows
that If he pays her social attentions
and she accepts them he spoils her
entirely as a business employe. He
also knows that if she doesn't ac-
cept his attentions 1t always makes
a GOODNESS between them.
Therefore" he said with a smile.
''if a man must flirt with a stenog-
rapher or secretary. he should fall
for his friends secretary instead of
his own"
This blase bit Of philosophy has
always stayed with me. Leslie. and
to tell you the truth. it has always
been a great comfort to me as a
wife, particularly when l first came
to Hollywood and saw all the pretty
girls in Dicks studio fawning upon
him because he was the producing
manager.
When / told this story to Dick n
evening he said, MY dear, it is per-
fectly true. A successful man in
business hours thinks Of nothing ex-
cept his business"
mot even his wife, Dick?"
Not even his wife," was his I'M
compromising answer.
OF course, / knew that the woman
who asked Paula If men apt
to FIJI in love with their stenogra-
pheI did this because she wanted to
know if the rumor which had been
circulated around the moving pic
ture colony. that Paula had beer a
stenographer in the East and a
