By R. II. RINER
News Editor, Times-Recorder

Making an appeal to the member.
Of his church to do their duty in tith
ing, and more forceful appeal t.
those who had not accepted Chris
to do so, Rev. Joe NJ Branch pas
tor of the First Baptist Church
preached to large congregation
last night.
Rev. Branch used as his scripture
the third chapter of Malachai, the
last book of the old testament. His
subject was Our Tomorrow"
Taking up as the first part of his
sermon, the theme of tithing, Rev
Branch called attention to the fact
that on next Sunday all the men,
bers would be visited by a commit
tee This committee would have the
church member to signify just how
much of the expenses of the church
he or she would be able to bear dur.
ing the coming year. He impressed
upon his members the fact that the
Bible teaches that tent hof what a
man earnes belongs to God, also that
all people of all nations had given
tithes. He showed that the Jew;
brought to the temples certain sac
rifices, how that it was still the duty
Of christian people to bring to the
house of God their tithes.
In his remarks Few. Branch
brought out the fact that people
of today were money and pleasure
mad, that they wanted more none!
for automobiles, clothes and good
times, that they did not have time t.
sing songs of Zion or to take the bo!
or girl on their knees and teach then

number of divorces, and crime.

FIRST step
TOWARD SLASH
TAKEN TODAY
Secretary Mellon Is Against Lift
ing Tax On Incomes of
$4,000 and Less

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. -
The first step towards another
slash in the nations tax bill was
taken today with the assembling
of the House Ways and Means
committee to consider the down
ward revision of the present lev
les.
This makes the third time in
ak years the committee has set
its hand to the welcome task of
chopping off some of the tax bur-
den. The gift to the tax payer
this time will be in the form of
a reduced bill for next wear. which
lished users. Extracts, Soaps, Food
three hundred and five hundred
million.
Strong opposition to the sugges-
lions Of exempting tax payers with
incomes of $4,000 or less, from all
Federal income levies was voiced
Sunday night by Secretary Mellon.
1.-The sole result of such a change
the treasury head declared, would
be an enormous loss of revenue to
the government without single
compromising advantage. AS a mat
ter of policy, it is advisable to have
every citizen with a stake in his
country"
The statement addressed to Sena-
tor Edge Republican, New Jersey, in
reply to such suggestion by him, is
taken as an answer to the proposal
advanced recently by Representative
Garner, of Texas, ranking Democrat
n Ehe ways and means committee.
lie proposed to increase the ex-
emption for single persons from ST.
900 to $4,000 and for married per-
sons from $4,000 to $4,000.
ithjo- shrdluetaoi etaoin etaoin EFT
Such scheme, which has the en-
dorsement of other Democratic mem
bers of the committee, is estimated
to relieve 100000 taxpayers from
all levies.
Wether the treasury will favor
any increase in personal exemptions
has not been made known. It's en-
tire tax policy, however, will be
presented to the committee at the
opening of hearings tomorrow after
noon.
Nevertheless reductions in the
normal tax rates applying 10 the
smaller incomes, increased in exemp-
tions, or perhaps both, are expected
to result from the committees eff
forts. Representative Bacharch, of
New Jersey, one of the ranking Re-
publican members of the committee,
yesterday proposed both, suggesting
l increasing the exemptions for sin
gle persons to $4,000 and for mar
4 ried persons to $500. He also pro-
4 posed a cut in the normal rates on
incomes of $4,000 and less from two
to one per cent; on incomes between
$4,000 and $4,000 from to 2 per
cent. and on incomes between $4,000
and $4,000 from to per cent.
The committee will not get down
to definite work on the measure I'M
til after two weeks of public hear
ings, during which all persons in
tested in revision of the law will be
heard.
The measure is expected to be
ready for presentation to the House
when Congress meets in December.
Passage of the bill by that body be-
fore the Christmas holidays is plan
ned and final enactment of meas
are by March /, fifteen days before
first payments of the new year are
tue, is predicted.
