The major provisions of the $685.
100000 tax reduction bill are now be-
fore Congress for debate The indica-
tons are that the bill is not fostered
by any particular political party,
which augurs well for its final pas
sage, probably with amendments,
though fathers Of the measure predict
its passage without alteration.
The bill in effect means exemption
from taxes on million small incomes,
and an approximate fifty percent cut
in the maximum surtaX. In the first
of these many Of the more prosperous
workmen may expect to obtain benefit.
In the second the wealthy classes are
especially interested. 1t is expected
that the bill, if passed, will be enacted
into law by March ID, 1926, and relief
through the bill may be expected N
1927 tax payments.
The bill in brief proposes the fol-
lowing:
Raising the income tax exemption
of single men from 81 900 to $500;
of married men from $500 to $500;
reduction of the maximum surtax rate
from 10 percent to 20 percent on in
comes above 100000; reduction of the
inheritance tax maximum rate to 20
percent on $lO0,OO0,0OO; by abolishing
the gift tax; all of which according %
the plan will provide reduction of
$20O,000,000.
The remaining $125,000,00O reduc-
ton will result from lowering or abol-
ishing the tax on jewelry, automobiles,
tobacco, firearms, alcohol, and numer-
Gus other commodities which are
classified under the so-called mus
ance" tax.
Labor will profit in all reductions
save the surtax; probably a few mem
bers of Organized Labor will profit
even in this.

income tax has had its virtues as
well as its faults. When inaugurated
it proved an adequate substitute for
the loss of revenue previously pro-
cured through the tax on alcoholic
liquors. The income tax, plus the
nuisance tax, made prohibition easy
to bear from the standpoint of rev.
enue.
The income tax was demanded Of
those who were apparently best quail
fed to pay such taX-those earning
wages sufficient to permit of enjoy
ment of all the conyeniences and many
of the luxuries.
We do not doubt that the income tax
might have been more widely dis.
trlbuted so as not to work hard.
ship on comparatively few taxpayers
1t has been urged that instead of re-
leasing fully 100000 taxpayers from
the obligation Of paying income taxes
the law should be SO applied as to re.
quire all people to pay tax on then
incomes, however small. All property
is theoretically taxed. Why not all
incomes?
The answer to this is that the
government has no need of such gen
eral taxation. This is evident from
the fact that congressman are now
willing to modify the existing income
tax law.
Naturally members Of Organized
Labor are no more inclined to taxa
ton than the more wealthy classes;
but in general they are perfectly
willing to pay their just proportion
of the government expense. Only
now and then is a workman found who
believes that the government should
be run without taxation. Trade I'm
ionists are far less likely to evade
taxation than those who have much
larger assets.

the farmer is to hoard his crop for
a higher price.
The farmer mas one recourse. He
can feed his cattle and hogs, if he mas
them. But reports indicate that ne
mas made no preparation for such an
emergency as a three billion bushel
crop creates, and his fattening stock
is down to the minimum. There ap-
pears nothing left TO do but sell at the
low price of SOC TO 56c a bushel the
corn that he has paid Toe a bushei u
cultivate ard harvest. Yet if the
crop had been snort he would have
complained with equal yindictiyeness.
We 90 not blame him. But we think
he might have come out to a better
advantage if he had reduced his work
ing day to eight hours early in the
spring, and limited production. Then
he would not be suffering the embar-
rassment of success.
We who have corn and meal to buy
will pay about the same old price for
it after it passes through the hands,
of two or three middle men. Both
the farmer and the ultimate consumer
are in the same boat when it comes to
profting by a large crop. The truth
is that someone else gets the profit.

Farmers in the twenty leading
corn states Of the country are facing
a crisis caused by the embarrassment
of success" One of the largest corn
crops in the history of the nation
stands ready to be dumped onto the
market, unless banks come to the
rescue and furnish loans whereby the
farmer may be enabled to hold his
grain.
Farmers are not jubilant. They
rarely are; but this year they appar-
emily have no reason to be, though If
a large crop is what they wanted,
they surely have no reason to COM
plain.
The trouble is that with a large
crop comes lowering of the price.
Farmers are even now complaining
that corn which cost them rs cents
a bashel to cultivate is destined 10
bring them not more than 50 cents.
If this is true we do not blame them
for being discouraged.
Another worry is that banks appear
no longer able to stand the strain OF
farm loans to te extent demanded, II

The future Of professional football
is not difficult to sulmise, if one has
closely followed the meteoric career
of Red" Grange anu watched him
since his debut into the money winning
game.
Whether the results are satisfactory
to the promoters may only be con-
jectured To the public in general
where professional football has been
played they are evidently not salts
factory. Red" the chief drawing
card of the Chicago Bears, has been
on the sideines in three important
games, to date. As a result the
throngs who came out especially to see
him, have dwindled into four figures
an unfavorable comparison to the
seventy thousand who followed the
flash" in the recent Homecoming
game.
In cities where baseball draws to
the number of $4,000 to 10000 the
professional football enthusiasts We're
able to mass only G,000 to 10000 spec
tators.
The interest in football is worked
up by college spirit. Its season very
properly closes in the neighborhood Of
Thanksgiving day. People will not
permit themselves to become frost
bitten, sitting in a grandStand, except
when aroused by some unusual spirit
or loyalty, such as college life inspires.
Red" Grange has not been the
flash in professional football that he
was in college football He is IN
strenuous company. The inspiration
of college loyalty is wanting. He
hears the boos and jeers of a heart
less gang bent upon procuring a taste
of blood--a gang who would rather
rout an athlete than to bear him from
the field in glory. He is now suffer
ing Nilat bdUe NUN mas SuliciSdi
what Jack Dempsey is enduring, what
every athlete of renown in the pro-
fessonal world is doomed to suffer ut
the hands of a merciless mob.
There is but one great national
game-basebal We predict that with
the passing Of Red Grange interest
in professional football will wane as
interest in Evolution waned with the
Dayton trial The American people
were interested in the latest move
of Mr.. Bryan, not in Evolution. They
are interested in idols, not in profess
sional football

MARKETS WITH ESkiMOS
 BY AUTO FOR FIRST TIME

HERB LAKE, Man, Oct. 24. P)- Far to the north of here, small au- tmobile chugs it's way over the ice and snow, the first vehicle of it's kind to invade the land of the Es- kimo.
 It was taken into the far north by John Harris, who has returned to his home there after marketing a large number of furs here.
 On his visit to civilization, Harris, brought his Eskimio wife and three children. just to give them treat" 1" anad if wide and wondering eyes were a criterion, it was a treat for them.
 When he returned, he took with him the small automobile, besides a large stock of provisions and goods, to be used in trading with the na- tives. So far as is known here, it will be the first automobile in this section of the north.
 Harris also took a power boat built in sections, and when he left the rail-head, he planned to put the boat together, transfer the automo- bile engine to the boat, and proceed under that power as far as possible.
 Harris said he would have no .trou- ble running the automobile over the hard packed snow as he made his rounds in trading with the Eskimos.

AMERICAN DISCOVERS
 ART OF WORKING GOLD

ATTLEBORO, Mass, Oct. 24-Lost for, nearly seven centuries, the art thru which gold used in the manu- facture of jewelry is made lighter in weight but greater in volume, has been rediscovered here.
 Victor D. Davignon, 26 year old jewelry worker, is credited with this accomplishment. which, according to manufacturers, should virtually revo- lutionize the jewelry-making indus try.
 History shows that the famous Ben venuto Cellini, last master of this val uable secret, carried the art with him to his grave, and that since his death, metallurgists had sought the lost for mula in vain.
 Noted metallurgists say that Davig- non's discovery is equal in import -ance to the recent rediscovery by General Electric Company engineers of the lost art of hardening leads.
 The total amount of gold consumed annually by the arts in the United States is about $6O,OOO,OOO. Accord ing to Rathbun Willard, metallur- gist, DaVignon's discovery should re- suit in yearly saving of at least $9,000,000 on this amount.
 The saving in weight of articles made from gold can now be reduced from 8 to IS per cent, depending up- on the color and carat of the gold used, according to Willard That is, the manufacturer who could hereto fore produce 100 articles from a giv- en amount of 14-carat gold, can in some instances, make 11S articles of jewelry from the same weight as a result of Davignon's discovery.
