PRESENT TAXLAW ' NOT SUCCESSFUL
Said to Cut Down Only Half of
 What Was Intended

Washington, July 10 F-The present tax law. designed to reduce the levy on the public by s40o, ,00O,- 900. has effected a reduction by only little more than half that amount. 1t Is indicated in treasury internal revenue figures for the fiscal year 1925, giving the total tax receipts as s2,5s4,01O,S47.
 The total for the fiscal year 1924 was s2,796,179,25s, and the reduc- ton of s212,16s,409 shown for the six months of 1925 during which the lower tax rates were operative leads treasury officials to believe the new law will fail to reduce tax bur den by tho sum originally contem- plated.
 The figures give indication. also that tax reduction efforts to be made In the next congress will have as a goal at least o,ooo,000, and Senator Watson of Indiana, member of the senate finance committee, an- nounced last night that he would favor cutting that sum from the tax load. He believed the combined normal and surtax on Incomes should not exceed 25 per cent, but he had reached no conclusions as to how the levy should be divided.
 Maximum surtaxes ranging from 13 to 25 per cent have been advo- cated by other prominent figures, the higher one being sponsored by Chairman Shoot of the senate A. nance committee and Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee. Senator Underwood of Alabama. has suggested 13 per cent maximum surtax, and Frank ". Mondell, retiring member of the war finance corporation, has favored a Is per cent limit.
 Of the total internal revenue for 1925, s1,761,6s1,641 was from in come taxes, representing a reduc- ton from 1924 of only $S0.077675. and this indicated to treasury ex- perts that still lower tax rates are possible without seriously impairing the governni ent's revenue. The re- duced levies, they believe, have opened up new employment for large incomes which were held out of business by the former high sur taxes, and that new low rates would york for a correspondingly increas- cd revenue.

 There is an increased demand for porcelain tubs, open fireplaces, spacious rooms, deep closets, light and air and high grade equipment for the maid and laundress, Roland r. Elliman, New York, asserted.

More often 1t is ten year old sister on whom the re. sponsibility falls, She learns to be deceitful because of the need of an excuse for her absence from school, and an aching head or painful tooth may be the apparent reason. She can purchase food which requires no preparation and give the children something to eat, The coffee pot remains on the fire since breakfast and furnishes a drink for the noon meal. When the father returns al night. tired and hungry the evening meal must necessarily be hurriedly gotten, perhaps the meat of the highly seasoned prepared bologna type. or a quickly cooked dish Of fried eggs or potatoes and maybe n bakers pie or some cookies. Ger tain youngsters are not over fond of soap and water and fathers orders to wash up ate not always followed by a close inspection.

denotes must not be controlled by but
must control that social standing.
Education is the great leveler. 1t is
breaking down the barriers between
those who toll by hand and those who
labor by brain; it is tearing down the
wall that separates the socially elect
from those of humble origin. Step by
step this country is moving in the evo-
luton of new measure for social
value-worth rather than wealth.
where, if there be any aristocracy at
all, it will be an aristocracy of brains.
1t is tending more and more to be-
come the worlds true index of value
For in every occupation men and
women are measured by their works,
and the quality of their work is in the
main affected by the knowledge and
training education bestows.

URGE FOR EDUCATION
REACHES PROPORTIONS
Calls For Equalization In Our Social
Status, 1t Being A Great
Leveler.

The urge for education in this coun-
try has grown to such proportions
that educational institutions are be-
ing taxed to their utmost to house
the millions clamoring for admission.
This year New York City has en-
rolled, for the first time in its history,
more than a million children in it's
public school classes. Chicago has to
it's credit more than half a million. So
it goes throughout the country. This
is the contribution which our public
schools are making to the nation. II
is the country's investment in its flu
ture.
The broad diffusion of education
brings into conspicuous view the force
of the dominating idea of the nation
equality of opportunity. Education is
not confined to "white collars" Scho-
lastic training penetrates farm, fac
tory and workshop. Hundreds of
thousands are subjected to its inau-
ence in night classes, extension clas-
ses, part-time classes, correspondence
course and, at home, by radio. 1t
makes education-as is proper in a
nation founded on democracy-demo-
cratic.
This spread of learning calls for an
equalization in our social status and
education must establish it. Existing
social classifications can hardly sur
vive the present leveling influence of
literacy. In this country, where a
laborer today becomes a bank presi-
dent tomorrow; where shop mechanic
lifts himself to motor magnate; where
the self-made rise suddenly from OBJ
security to eminence, there is needed
new social recognition for all honor

1t is the duty for everyone to kno"

Maryland turn to pages of her His
tory, duty turns to love; for We fine
SO much to love and revere. She was
one of the little colonies that left
"Merrie England" braved the broad
ocean, and huddled upon a strange
new land; but she was up and doing
and sent word back what wondrous
country she had found.
So the Ark and Dove brought more
across the water to see for them
selves. She signed the federation
Act, and those less fortunate who had
settled further North, came down ano
found what they were seeking-iber-
ty and freedom. Commercially, she
soon grew big, and strong in her min
erals, coal, stone and fine marble; hel
waters teemed with food for the SER
vice of man. Why, the bottom of the
Chesapeake Bay pays more revenue
than the corn crop grown in one of the
big states of the Middle West! She
has the largest nurseries in the world.
Her canning industry makes her rank
high, and her Highways are the adj
miration of all. Her climate needs no
boosters to rival that of California and
Florida. In beauty she varies from
the rugged mountains, pleasing val
legs and placid rivers to the shore
washed by the unceasing Ocean, these
making her indeed a Garden Spot.
Intellectually, she has much to be
proud of, and boast about; four of her
sons signed the Declaration of indie
pendence. She has given to the
Churches, State, law and medicine.
Many of her sons and daughters are
famous in art, song, poetry and prose;
her Universities are among the fore
most. She has shed blood for the de-
tense of her country, she has the best
equipped Naval School in the world;
she has the only Star Spangled Ban
ner that was carried through the Revo-
lutionary War, and waved high in 9th
er battles that were fought for free
dom; it is now in the State House, an
object of generation. Her own State

honor and purity, the quartering OF
black and yellow, service and strength
cannot be excelled in symmetry and
beauty. Her seal, have you ever ex-
amined it? 1t is most unique with its
quartering and carving, and has been
