Politics..

Some wonder is expressed by state.
ments from New York last week that
Gov. AL Smith will not run again for
his fourth term as governor and that
he IS through with public office. The
general expectation was that Gov.
smith would seek election to the Sen.
ate at the expiration of his present
term. Then, Gov. Smith has been
generally looked TO as seeking the
nomination of the next national
Democratic convention. His plans
after the expiration of this his third
term as Governor of New York pro.
vide an interesting subject for politi.
cal conjecture.
Senator William f. Borah of Idaho
is reopening his campaign against
entry by the United States into the
Permanent Court Of international
Justice-a subject which is generally
expected to provoke prolonged discus
sion in the next session of Congress

Senator, who is chairman of the Sen
ate foreign relations committee, de
clared that he will oppose American
entry to tho C3u.t until 1t is divorced

Economics.

Determined to have a bill ready for
presentation to the House when Con.
gress convenes here in December, the
House ways and means committee set
to work last week on one of the most
popular measures before the Nation
reduction of taxes. Appearing before
the committee as its most important
witness, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon advocated slashing taxes by
from s25, 100000 to $50. 100000, partly
by reducing the surtax and partly by
eliminating the tax on estates, the tax
on gifts and the tax on miscellaneous
items, such as jewelry brought from
abroad. He also recommended reduc.
ing the taxes on automobiles and ac.
cessories.
In the meantime other Congress.
men are talking of eliminating from
tax incomes up to $1,000, but Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Mellon warns
against too sharp reduction in the
Nations revenues.
A matter upon which there seems
universal agreement by those who
have decided to await a move on the
lnation Of the publicity section of the
income tax law, move which prob.
ably would be widely popular.
After hearing Secretary Mellon the
committee set to work getting the
views of various trade and State or
ganizations which have journeyed to
Washington to plead for the elimina.
ton of taxes on various industries and
commodities in which they are inter
ested.

Council OF Congregational Churches.
Two important steps SO far have
marked the proceedings of this body
one the Endorsement by the national
body of new Congregational
Church for Washington. funds for
which will be solicited by nation
wide subscriptions; the other, a plan
for the uniflcation of various mis-
sionary activities now carried on by
the church.
Addressing the council at it's
opening session. President Coolidge
declared that more law observance
and more religion are needed in this
country and that "lawlessness is
altogether too prevalent, and a lack
of respect for the Government and
the conventions of enlightened So
ciety Is altogether too apparent"
The House Of Deputies of the Gen
eral Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, meeting in New
Orleans, last week voted to meet IN
Washington in 1928. This must be
approved by the House of Bishops
Outstanding actions of popular in
terest taken by the House Of Depu-
ties were the confirmation of the
findings Of the ecclesiastical court
which declared Bishop William M
Brown guilty of heresy and the de-
cision by the House of Deputies to

AT THE MOUTH OF

9.-While rescue crews con-
tinued their frantic work TO
drive a shaft to release Floyd

days in Sand cave, J. Lewis

termine how and why Collins
came to his present plight.

ment is a hoax. perpetuated
as a publicity stunt, will be

AT the same time Cover

case. Those men who claim
TO have seen Collins trapped

The rescue pit has been
sunk 80 Of the go feet to Col
