Defends German
GOvt.'s Acceptance
Of LOcarnO Treaties

Berlin, Nov. 23.-(AP)-Chancel-
Tor Luther defended the govern
ment's acceptance of the Locarno
treaties in an impressive speech In
the Reichstag today and requested
ratification of the treaties on the
ground that the restoration and con-
servation of genuine peace in Eu-
rope was bound to rebound to the
political and economic advantage of
Germany.
His speech dealt in detail with the
significance of the security pact and
arbitration treaties initiated at Lo-
carno which he stated represented in
the last analysis an amplification of
the covenant Of the league of ma
tons.
The chancellor was given a re-
spectful hearing by all parties and
the parliamentary decorum which
prevailed was in strange contrast to
acrimonious partisan controversies
which have been waged over the
Locarno treaties since the German
delegates returned from Switzerland.
The adoption of the treaties next
Friday by an overwhelming majority
leaders predicting today the vote
will be in the ratio of to 1 in
favor of the government.
Chancellor Luther informed the
reichstag that the present cabinet
would resign after the treaties have
been signed at London. making way
for an enlarged coalition govern
ment which he said would be pledg-
ed automatically to pursue the poll
cies inaugurated with the adoption
Of the Locarno treaties.

COMMITTEE FIXES
ON REVENUE BILL
CUT $336,236,OOO

Washington. Nov. % (AP) A
revenue bill slashing the annual fed
eral tax burden by an amount placed
by the treasury at $3Ss,236o00 was
completed today by the house ways
and means committee.
Drafted on a non-partisan basis,
the measure was unanimously ap-
proved b. the committee. which di-
rected Chairman Green to report 1t
to the house on the opening day of
congress, December Z.
The committee felt justified in ex-
ceeding the $300,000,000 reduction
limit which it had set. because of es-
Inmates that the treasury surplus for
the current fiscal year probably
would reach $33O,000,000 instead Of
$780, 100000, the original figure.
Effects of the reduced tax rates
carried by the bill will be felt i'm
mediately upon it's enactment. Vir-
tually every taxpayer will be bene-
fitted by the measure. Income taxes
alone would be cut by $193,575,OOO
under the committee program, and
the revised rates would be effective
on incomes of this calendar year.
The congressional leaders plan TO
have the bill enacted by March l.
and the income taxes are not due
until March Is.

An increase of approximately $780,
100000 in the valuation of the State
of Maine in the past nine years is re-
ported by Clement S. Stetson of
Greene. chairman of the board of State
assessors, who estimates that 60 per
cent. or $120,OOO,OOO represents new
property and the remainder an equal
ization in values.
There has been a big increase in
business and residential properties in

land and lewiston" he continued,
while in York, Hancock and Somer-
set counties the development has been
along the lines of summer and re-
sort property"
During the same period. Mr.. Stet-
son points out, there has been a
steady increase in the tax rate in the
cities and towns. it rising from SCOTS
on thousand to $3.50 for the aver
age rate. The biggest jump in this
average rate was between 1922 and
1923 when it went from $35.77 to
$3S,2S on thousand. The gain in
the year 1924 was very slight over
1923, but 81 cents, the 1924 rate re-
naming at $3S.49. 1t is expected that
the 1925 rate will show a similar
slight gain over 1924.

important contribution to the Illicit
trade in lighter intoxicants. has been
marked for a swift end by prohibit
ton officials.
Some several hundred thousand wine

a quiet and untrammeled perpetuation
of life since the years before the Vol
stead act have come under the search
light of the new prohibition regime

in the next day or two. The permits
as issued allow a maximum annual
production by the holder, tax free. OF
zoo gallons. They are held largely in
the foreign quarters Of the larger ci-
ties and are suspected of contributing
heavily to the Illicit supply.
Leaks of sacramento wine into IL
licit channels also are to be plugged.

leaders, whose churches are the larg-

Bryn MaWr Mods
On Smoking Rooms
For Girls with Habit

Philadelphia, Nov. 23.-(AP)-
Bryn Mawr College today abrogated
an old rule against students smoking
and set aside one room in each dor
mitory for the use of those girls who
desire to indulge in the practice.
This action was taken at the re-
quest of the Self-Government Asso-
citation in response to a petition pre-
scented to President Marion Edwards
Parks last week.
This does not mean that all stu
dents are smokers" said Miss Fran
ces Jay, New York, president of the
lf-Government Association, in a
statement. "A QUESTIONABLE sent out
showed that many supporters of the
change were not themselves smokers
and that, in fact. less than half of
the student body smoked"
Miss Jay in her statement said
that the Association has felt that the
wholehearted support of the students
was not behind the old rule, which
forbade smoking in any college
building. and as the successful oper-
alton Of the Self-Government Asso-
citation depends upon its support by
public opinion, the board asked
President Parks to consent to a
change in the rule and to allow
smoking under restrictions.
