The elimination of party politics in
framing the bill for the reduction OF
taxes is praised hy harmonious
chorus from the country's press. But
some discordant notes are heard when
the next step is discussed. How long,
the dOubtcrs inquire, before the bill
will become d law?
THE fact that both political parties
represented on the ways and means
committee have worked harmoniousIy
in framing this measure augurs well
for its passage by Congress" in the
opinion OF the Kalamazoo Gazette
though this paper expects certain
minor revisionS on the part of both
houses" In this meeting of Repub-
lican and Democratic minds the Seattle
Times notes wisdom, for, as it says,
Theoretically, of course, finances
should be outside the partisan realm. j"
The Times wonders if the country is
to enter, via this tax bill, upon an
other of the very infreuuent golden
ages of on-partisanship that rarely
have been remarked in American
political affairs.H In this elimination
of politics from the situation" the
Portland Telegram points out, Lies
the hope that eventually tax reform
as well as tax revision may become an
actuality.''
But the question of when the tax
bill may be expected to become a law
the editors of the country find difficult
to answer. On this point the Knox
Vile Sentinel quotes the opinion of
Nicholas Longworth. Speaker of the
House, who promises" says the Sen
tlnel, that the tax reform will be on
the statute books by March Is, in time
to be effective on the tax returns for
next year. More power to NIcls
prophetic soul" soliloquizes the Sen
tinel.
With this optimistic prediction the
New ork Times does not agree, as it
pictures Senators grimly getting
ready with knives in their hands to
cut the measure to pieces when it
reaches them" To the Times "the
only certitude is that there will be a
long delay in passing the revenue bill,
of which the final form will remain
in doubt until the two houses of Con-
greSS have thrashed out their differ
ences." With greater optimism, and
heading its editorial Lucky Tax Bill, -
the Boston Transcript declares: The
Treasury Department has not tried to
fix the rates, the President has not as
sumed dictatorial attitude, the coun-
try wants quick action-and from
present indications recalcitrant Sena-
tors will find themselves bowled over.
The bill is lucky" concludes the Tran
script.
Another doubter on the question of
the quick passage of the bill is the
Roanoke World-News, which COM
ments as follows: "All in all, the
House committees bill seems to be a

Of systematic personal financing.

Of systematic personal financing.
Viewed from this angle, it will be
seen that the Christmas savings sys-
tenn, to which now over 10000 peo-
pie contribute, is a great national
sinking fund. Undoubtedly the foun-
dations Of fortunes have been laid
during these fifteen years by this
means. Debts have been paid, homes
have perhaps been saved from mort
gage sales, life insurance has been
maintained, thrift has been promoted.
1t has been said that the war taught
the American people how TO save
money by promoting the purchase of
national bonds. Several million people
were started toward accumulation by
this means. The Christmas savings
plan, which started before the war,
has done a great deal in the same
direction The steady growth of the
savings is not only u sign of the in
creasing prosperity of the country, but
token of the increasing thrift of the
people.

The Drying-Up Process.

Drastic steps to check the flow of
industrial alcohol 10 the bo0tlegging
trade were taken yesterday by Mel
lon, Andrews & Co, in the business
of enforcing the Federal prohibition
| laws. An order was issued tnat all
basic permits issued by the Federal
Government for the manufacture of
industrial alcohol shall expire De-
cember 81, 1925, and thereafter basic
permits shall expire each December
81. except that those permits issued
after August 81 of any calendar year
shall not expire until December 81 Of
the following year.
Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania. in
a recent address to the Anti-Saloon
League in Chicago, declared that con-
permits for the manufacture of in
dustrial alcohol was the first line
of defense against the unlawful
liquor trade. He gave in detail cases
the use of these Federal permits in
Pennsylvania, which, if true. indi-
Gated a shocking situation. He point
ed out that the production of de-
natured, or industrial. alcohol had
increased from 29.0OO.000 gallons
in 1920 to S2.0U0,O00 gallons in 1924.
OF this amount. he estimated, 35.-
100000 gallons We're used in making

denaturants could easily be removed
and the liquor placed in the bootleg
trade
NO one knows how much of it
was ever denatured." he added.
Whether or not the action now
taken by the prohibition enforcement
unit is the result of charges brought
by Gov. Pinchot, it is likely, If fol
lowed up strongly, to dry up one

and alcohol from which home made
gin and other concoctions are made
will become less plentiful.
In order not to bring about hard
ship for the legitimate manufacturers
of alcohol, instructions have been
sent to all regional administrators of
prohibition to act upon applications
for renewal of permits for Industrial
alcohol plants, bonded warehouses and
denaturing plants prior to December
81. Close scrutiny, however, will be
made of the use to which the in
dustrial alcohol produced by these
concerns is put, and the expectation
is that in those cases where a clean
bill is not found the permit will not
be renewed. There will be an an
nual check-up hereafter also, and
close observation in the period be-
tween these check-ups.
One of the cases of violation of
the law alleged by Gov. Pinchot is
found in the greatly increased amount
of alcohol ostensibly for tobacco
sprays. He said that in Philadelphia
alone enough alcohol was sold for
this purpose to meet every possible
requirement in the manufacture of
more tobacco than is grown In the
United States. After this charge had
been made by him. he said, a firm of
cigar manufacturers in Phila delphia
was authorized to withdraw 35, 900
gallons of alcohol a month, or 42O. 900
gallons a year, more than enough for
treating the entire tobacco crop of
the world.

strike seemed decreased today. Nego-

workers, meeting separately with
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,

Federation, said.
w. A. Lee, secretary of the Mining
Association of Great Britain, repre-
senting the owners, said there was
not "a ghost of a chance" that the
owners would withdraw their de.
mands for two weeks to permit q
continuation of negotiations with the
workers for that period.
The demands" refer to the owners
insistence upon new working agree
ment involving longer hours and
lower wages to supplant the present
agreement, which expires tomorrow.
The miners have refused to accept
and have ordered a strike. effective
at the expiration of the present wage
agreement. If carried out this would
mean tying up the entire coal industry
