Tax Relief Bill
Sent to Printers

Washington. Dec. 4.-(APl-Pro-
viding relief for virtually every fed
eral taxpayer, the tax reduction pro-
posals agreed upon by the house
ways and means committee during
its six weeks of deliberation were
embodied today in printed revenue
bill which will be introduced at the
opening session of the house Mon
day.
In addition to providing tax reduce
lions amounting to 1926. 100000 for
the next calendar year, the measure
also revises many Of the administra-
tive features of the present law, in
Guiding an amendment to prevent
further publication of income tax
schedules.
The principal reduction affects the
income tax schedule, although the
bill gives widespread relief in every
field in which 1t now levies taxes,
wiping out entirely many of the spe-
cial duties on various forms of bus
mess.

"As a friend of Catholics. as well as
spokesman of l.lany patriotic citizens,
/ am filled with dep regret in bring
ing to the attention Of Your Holiness
the fact that he seeming Indifferent
ces, IL not opposition, on the part OF
so many Catholics to the enforcemene
of our prohibitin law, has created a
great de- opposition to the Cath
Ollie Church, and did much to call in
to existence the Ku Klux Khan.
THE problem of enforcing our pro-
hibition law, which is Of supreme i'm
portance to the citizens of America,
is aggravated by our having large ra-
cial elements from many countries.
President Coolidge, a truly Christian
man, has in unmistakable terms con-
demned organizations comnitted to
intolerance. He has frequently urged
upon all good citizens their duty to
observe our laws. and upon all public
officials, that of law enforcement. 1t
seems to many of us that such APP
peals should meet with more res
ponses from Catholic leaders than
have been manifested thus far.
"The great body of American citi-
zens has always respected the Cath
Ollie Church as the unflinching advo-
cate of every home virtue, as well as
public duty: and one word from your
Holiness, reiterating what was al
ways felt was the Catholic position OF
respect for civil authority in accord
anoe with the Holy scriptures, that
all authority is of God, would be a
large contribution to the mutual well
fare and progress of our republic.

provisions varying from 25c decline to
10c gain.
Momentum to the downward rush of
wheat values was increased by word
that Omaha, Minneapolis and Duluth
had sold wheat to come here, and that
Kansas City was likewise almost on a
shipping basis relative to Chicago.
There was active buying all the way
down as the market dropped lower
and lower, but the force of the buy
ing was lost in the food of offerings.
Throughout the day the wheat mar
ket was extremely unsettled, with a
big trade, and after a sharp setback
at the opening had suddenly jumped
for the zenith. Assertions that Ar
gentine crop damage had been more
than discounted were good deal re-
sponsible for initial declines and so,
too. were enlarged estimates of the
Australian exportable surplus How
ever. fresh reports of heavy rains in
Argentina brought about buying
stampede that carried the market up
81 cents from the days bottom figures.
1t was at this point that the strain on
the market proved excessive. and with
an Argentine forecast at hand pointing
to fair and warmer weather the huge
break here in prices followed. No
signs of any large amount of new ex-
port business WAS apparent.
Corn and oats raced after wheat,
both up and down. Corn to arrive was
reported to have been sold by the
country a little more freely than a day

Kipling Wrote
Some of Noted Books
While in BrattlebOrO

Brattleboro, VT. Dec 4-(AP)-The
city is watching the progress or Rud-
yard Kipling's fight against pneu-
monia with more than casual inter-
est. since it was here that the famous
English author wrote some OF ms
more celebrated works.
Kipling spent nearly four years in
Brattleboro and his home, "The
Naulahka," named for the novel. was
known to the countless thousands
who enjoyed 1.-THE jungle Books
captains Courageous" and other
works which had literary birth
there.
The association of Kipling with
Brattleboro really goes back to the
time when Wolcott Balestier and his
sister, Caroline. children of the son
of an early settler, went to London.
Wolcott had written several novels,
and in London he became a publish
er. In 1891 he met the future liter
airy celebrity who had come from "a
dia after having completed his bar
rack room ballads.
The two became intimate friends
and together they elaborated on
1.-THE Naulahka," written during six
weeks that Kipling spent at the
Balestier home. There the poet be-
came acquainted with Caroline Bal
estier and a friendship which began
then resulted in their marriage in
January, 1892. A desire to visit
relatives brought Mrs. Kipling and
her husband to Brattleboro month
after their marriage. They bought
land on the outskirts of the city and
the Naulahka was built, where many
of the masterpieces were written,
which have made Kipling's name n
household word wherever English Is
read.-The Jungle Books, Captains
Courageous, the book of short stories
called "The Days Work" and most
of the poems in Seven Seas"
