PORTLAND, July 10. (P)-Modern advertising methods applied to the Ten Commandments would soon change them from stern prohibition laws to factors contributing to true happiness" declared Clarence c. Hamilton of Bocston, speaking at to- days session of the thirtieth h. ternational Christian Endeavor con- vention.
 Modern advertising then should adopt the positive form of the com. mandments in order to convince the public that they were not prohibition laws" said MT. Hamilton. 'Too many persons regard them as prohibition laws and apparently take delight in violating them. They do not appre- ciate their constructive values and the contribution their observance makes toward the true happiness of the individual and community"

FOR BRIDGE OVER

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 30. The
California highway comm. .s3ion, it

SON T. Edwards, has approved the
plans of John Lyle Harrington, an
eastern bridge designer, for the
construction of toll bridge over

Fhc approval has been given, the
commissioners said, subject to the
right of Californa to inspect the dc.
tailed plans, when they have been
prepared and upon condition that
the bridge will be built upon an
adequate foundation as future hor-
ings and Investigations may show
to be necessary.
Congress Authorized
The last session of congress pass
ed an enabling act permitting the
construction OF a toll bridge at this
point, provided the plans and spe-
r1tlcations were first approved by
the highway departments of the
states OF California and Arizona.
After an investigation of plans OF
the bridge promoters by its engi-
necring department, the California
commission has given its consent to
the building of the bridge.
In view of the fact that the
bridge, if built, may, at some fu-
tTe time, become the property of
the state, the California commits
Slons proposes to investigate fully
the final plans and to keep in close
touch with the construction work.
This right was reserved III the rcso-
lution of approval.

TAI REDUCTION

1t looks if the leading business of the country
Tor the next three months will be reducing ted
eral taxes. So everybody might well get into the
game It's everybodys business, anyhow. The hear
ings opened at Washington by the House committee,
with Secretary MELONS recommendations make
good starter.
Inasmuch the small incomes benefited most
by the last reduction is right that the large incomes
should have inning There will be little objec-
tion to lowering the suraXes about onehaf to relieve
the big fellows and stimulate business enterprise.
That is, provided the little fellows still feel that
they sharing fully they should in the cutting
of the tax melons There must be some cutting all
along the line
If the Treasury program really includes, it
derstood to- the repeal of the earned income eXemp
tlon. Mr.. Mellon may expect hostility on that point
if not elsewhere. That exemption warmly well
coined last year. not only because it meant saving to
large class of taxpayers but because it is consider
ed proper in principle. Most citizens agree that in
obtained by useful work deserves consid-
Grafton than income derived from capital gifts,
without current effort
There will be plenty of argument about the proper
exemption level above which income taxes to be
levied, we'll about the rates
There will be endless argument, too, about the
value of the federal inheritance tax which if is not
repealed is to be greatly modified.
