70 PCT. SURTAX CUT
SEEN BY TREASURY
Reduction to Be Passed Be-
fore New Bills March IS,
Sponsors Say.

The much debated question of re-
ducing the Nations taxes at the next
session of Congress appears to be
taking a somewhat definite form.
That the administrations financial
leaders are busily engaged in working
out tax reduction program was in
dicated from two sources yesterday.
Secretary Mellon and Senator
Smoot. chairman of the Senate finance
committee, assured President Cool
idge at Plymouth. VT, that a tax re-
duction bill would be enacted by Con-
gress before first payments of the
new year are due March IS.
90 Per Cent Surax Cut.
simultaneously the Treasury let it
be known that Il study of the coun-
try'S financial condition convinced of
ficials there that it would not be I'M
reasonabl to consider a reduction of
the surtaX to 20 per cent, and of the
maximum. normal tax to 5 per cent
In discussing the matter with the
President, Mr.. Mellon and Senator
Smoot expressed the belief that many
miscellaneous taxes could be elm
mated, and that a substantial reduc-
tion also could be made in both the
surtaN and normal rates.
Although Mr.. Mellon made no def
mite recommendations to the Chief
Executive, Senator Smoot and Rep
resentative Tilson of Connecticut,
Republican leader in the next House,
declared for a cut in the surtaX rate
on incomes of S12 900 and over from
the maximum of 40 to 20 or even Is
per cent.
Small Income Cuts.
They also favored reduction of
normal rates from to l per cent on
! incomes of $4,000 and under, from 4
to 3 per cent on incomes between
s4 900 and $4,000 and from 6 to 5 per
cent on incomes over that amount.
Although the Treasury has not dis
closed it's attitude on the so-called
nuisance taxes, such as those on au-
tomobiles and accessories, a number
of congressional leaders have advo-
Gated q removal of all these levies on
the ground that they have a bad eff
feet on business. The hope of the
Treasury, as expressed yesterday, Is
that Congress will enact a law which
will cause the least dislocation of
business and will bring the maximum
return to the Government.

Mai. Gen. Johnson Hagood. who
with more than a dozen officers wit
messed the tests. said the practice
showed a tremendous advance in anti
aircraft defense since the war Others
admitted that the tests bore out the
assertion of Col. William Mitchell,
former assistant chief of the Army
Air Service, that guns on land were
virtually useless against hostile air
craft.
Similar tests with land batteries
assisted by powerful searchlights to
locate the targets are scheduled for
, tonight. They were postponed last
night because Of low clouds and haze.
"I am greatly pleased by the demon
stration," said Gen. Charles P. Sum
neral. comma nding general of the
I'd Corps Area. I'VE have apparently
secured results showing as high a
state of efficiency here as in previous
anti-aircraft machine gun tests else
where. This is purely problem of
efficiency of personnel and equipment
and is not problem involving the
defense of New York.

hits have been madeU in $4,000 shots,
which anti-aircraft machine gun bat
teries at Fort Tilden fired during a
test of the ability of coast defense to
protect the port of New York from

Representative F. II. La Guardia,

here were an "absurdity."

The enemy airplanes during the

The targets were of canvas, colored

BUENOS AIRES, August 1S.-The

Speaking before brilliant assem-

self fortunate, while the experiences
of his South African tour were yet
fresh in mind, to be enabled to pay
a similar visit to the southern part
of the American continent.
Both were new lands, he continued,
with different problems to solve, but
both were working confidently for
human progress and civilization.
Referring to the celebration of the
centenary Of the treaty of amity and
commerce between the United Provin-

augurated relations of friendship and
commercial intercourse between the
two countries which had been unin-

ARMS ARE SHELvED

Peace Reigns, But Duration Is

E TAMPA. Fla, August 1S.-Peace
reigns over Marco Island and it's par
ticipants in the Lost Land contro-
versv early today, following the con-
cealing of arms by members of the
two factions on guard yesterday.
How long the quiet will last is a
question that neither the settlers on
the island. in disagreement with
Barron G. Collier, New York advertis-
ing man over possession of certain
lands on the islands, or hackers of
Collier can answer. Both sides ex-
pressed the belief that trouble may
break out again at the slightest provo
cation.
However. no guns are seen on the
island today and the guards patrol
ing the disputed lands merely walk
about and appear uninterested.
The announcement that T. c. Havell,
acting commissioner of public lands,
with Federal agent, will visit the
island soon in an attempt to have
them iron out the differences, Is be-
lieved to have been responsible for
the putting aside of the arms.
These settlers, who are asking in q
petition for the removal of Sheriff w.
r. Maynard and his deputies will prob
ably be given a hearing by Gov Mar
tin on his return tomorrow.
