The opinion is growing that in
taking the stump Mr.. Mellon has
a well defined purpose in mind.
He enjoys the confidence of the
public and his personal appeals
on behalf of a tax program will
leave it's mark on the country.
The Secretary of the Treasury
has sounded the keynote of the
Administrations plan by pointing
out the necessity Of establishing
economically sound rates of tax"
He believes that tax reform is
now an issue which holds the
public interest and demands an
early and honest attempt at set
Element"
This campaign on behalf of the
Administration, brings to life
two programs of tax reduction
which must inevitably meet for
adjustment in Congress. The
Administration proposes a reduc-
ton of the surtaxes to about rs
per cent and the elimination of
inheritance taxes, which yields
about S1O0,OO0,0O0. In addition
they propose scattered relief
from special excise taxes and to
eliminate tax exempt securities,

ington. 1t is fortunate that 1925
is an off year" when no import
ant elections are held. The ma
jor political parties would find
themselves up against a shortage
of campaign issues. With the
adjournment of the short session
of the new Senate, legislators re-
turning home are bordering over
the problem. The home folks
will want to know about affairs
in the Capital and it will be
mighty difficult for the congress-
men to provide interesting talk
on non-controversial subjects.
The close of legislative activ-
tiles here leaves only a few sub
jects open for nationwide dis
cussion. The agricultural prob
lem has lost some of its import
ance due to the favorable action
of economic rather than political
forces. There are some whose
livelihood depends upon making
the farmer the center of political
controversy and these men will
keep the question of agricultural
depression, etc., to the fore.
Evidence is plentiful to show
that the Administration has un-
dertaken a drive to bring about
tax revision in the next Con.

note that the Secretary of the

Hard work 16 hours every day,
Sunday included, and no financial

has the farmer received for all
