editorial office hidden away IN
the basement OF the great prison.
Others meet him as he strolls
through the prison enclosure during
fha recreation hours. Others still,
separated from him by prison rules
or barred gates, send their mes
aares TO the former governor by
the grapevine route. And McCray
replies through the same mysteri-
Gus channels.
"A rel many of these boys are
not had at heart" says McCray,
in telling of their problems. They
have mothers. wives, sweethearts.
VINO love them just as much as
do the families of men outside
these walls. They, simply never
had the right inspiration and We're
allowed to drift. They all can be
reclaimed by humane treatment In
"The Government has a great
task, there and in other prisons. Il
shoud prepare every prisoner to

earn an honest living.
This work of redemption has
been started here on small scale,
but it should be enlarged to In
ciude every man sent to prison.
The warden has told me he could

he has. sent out into the world a

he has won another success.

little proudly. Our attendance is
between l26 and $50 every Sunday.
It is Just like the Sunday schools
outside-only half the membership
attends. Even IN here. they don't
like TO go every Sunday.
''I teach the class myself. and I
try to inspire the men to do the
best they can and to shape their
lives here in prison toward good
things"
And then, with a smile, ct try to
uplift them, and they seem to like
it,
McCray. himself is a model pris-
cner. He asks no favors. does his
particular prison duties with an un-
falling smile, and has won the
friendship Of virtually every man
within the prison. BY his maya
zine editorials he has gained the in
feEest Of all prisoners. He con-
tinually urges them to go straight.
to abandon the ways OF crime, and
to let mother love rule their
futures.
Don't shame your motherw is
one OF his favorite slogans. And
somehow it gets under the skins Of
even hard-boiIed convicts. He is
putting it across in the words OF
a fellow prisoner, a real tough
guy" doing a term for dope ped
ding.
I'VE guys don't listen to the lily

''But the governor, now. he was a

DISAGREEMENT ON
 CAPITAL TAX LEVY
CaiIauz Opposes Plan Suggested
 to Parliament by RerriOt

Nice, France. Oct r Rl-Fcrmer Premier Herriot and Finance Min ister CaillauX, respectively president and ex-president of the radical party, have cordially but fundamentally disagreed on the subject of levy on capital in France.
 The radical socialist congress in session here is teeming with excite ment over the situation that has arisen in this connection. M. Call laux holds that a levy on wealth would be an act of Financial lema- gogy," but NJ. Herrlot, who appar- ently has majority Of members Of the left parties behind him, Is of the opinion that such action in Frances present state would be a patriotic act.
 We cannot leave this congress emrty-handed, declared N. Herriot. "A capital levy Is necessa ry to save France from bankruptcy. We de- mand sacrifice from wealth, not in sentiment of low demagogy. but because of our love for the repub- lie and the country"
 NJ. CaiIlaux, who Is regarded as Frances Financial wizard" solemn and vehement, depicted the danger of such an expedient, but observers believed that had tho question been brought to a vote, NJ, Caillaux in all proba bility would have been beaten.
 Efforts are being made to find formula for amelic rating the diverse views of the two statesmen. The concensus of opinion Of the delegates Is that a clean-cut decision. one way or the other, Is essential

Repres -ntatiVe Garner, Texas, rank. ing democrat on the committee has come out with a proposal by which about S,Q00,0u0 persons would be relieved of paying any income tax. He would raise the exemption for single persons rom sl,UO, to sS.5O0 and br married persona f.om ss.500 to $l000.
 Representative Garner presented this plan. which he .predicates on a proposal to retire the national debt in 62 years instead of 95, to secre- tary Mellon yesterday, Although the treasury head Is withholding any public indication of his views prior 10 his appearance before the ways and means committee Monday it is. understood he believes the treasury could not stand reductions up to tho amount proposed by MT. Garner,
 Surtaxes As Well
 Treasury and administration offi. cials do favor. however cuts in both the normal rates and. 3urtaxes, as to surtsyes, Mir. Garner would cut the maximum rate 10 25 per cent. a fig. ure also suggested by Chairman Green. while 1t is understood the treasury will recommend a maxi mum of 20 per cent, The present rate Is 40 per cent Modification or abolishment of most of the remain ing miscellaneous taxes, including those on theater tickets. automobiles and the like, also is generally pro- posed.
 While little revision of the adminl- strative provisions of the revenue law is anticipated, Chairman Green does want q modification that will relieve the board of tax appeals of many of the trifling cases with which fl is now swamped. He believes '. docket fee and witness fee attached 10 cases brought before the board would drive many of the smaller ones back 10 the courts.
 While there is general unanimity for tax reduction. fights are impend. ing over proposed abolishment of the estate and gift taxes and the tax publicity provision. This program has the support of the administra- ton, but Chairman Green and Rep- resentative Garner both would retain the estate tax, applying 1t, however. only where. and in the amount, that it exceeded state tax on inherit ances They believe it's retention necessary to reach persons residing in the District of Columbia or Florida, which have no inheritance tax,

me in any way whatsoever l am not responsible nor can 1 be held responsi- ble for speculative statements issued by press writers. I have issued no state ment, either officially or personally, up- on these subjects, nor have 1 referred 1 to them in any interview with news paper men. The statement to which you call my attention as appearing in the Toledo Blade Bureau issue and the Associated Press that I was associated with the Anti-Saloon is entirely errone- ous I have never been a member of the nti-Saloon League nor have been associated with it in any way whatsoever"
 Again under date of February 25 he writes the following:
 "The American Federation of Labor declared it's attitude toward the modi hcation of the Vo1stead act through the adoption of Resolution Mo- at the Atlantic City convention of hte Amer ican Federation of Labor and the adoption of Resolution Mo- 69 at the Denver convention. These expressions constitute the official attitude of the American Federation of Labor toward the modification of the Nolstead act.
 "As president of the American Fed eration of Labor, 1t will be my pur pose, as it is my duty, to make known the position of the American Fedora tion of Labor upon the question of modification of the Volstead act, and to cooperate as fully as possible with my official associates in carrying into eff feet the declarations of the American Federation of Labor"
 The above letters of President Green brand conclusively as falsehoods the articles and statements issued by the Anti-Saloon League through its off cial organ and officers, who, i'll this as i'll past instances, have not hesitated to issue false statements in their effor cover up their many misdeeds.
 We ask that this information be given the widest publicity possible through the columns of your journay, so that the people generally may know the whole truth.

commissions, stated to a representa- tive of Labor that this whole cooperative venture is in its infancy. So far they only control between IA and Is per cent of the stock reaching the markets Therefore they have not yet been able to exercise much influence on the price which the packers pay.
 Their savings have been in eliminat- ing the abuses of the system and in handling the shipments at less cost to the farmers than the old method But as the movement develops, the time is not far distant when these agencies will be handling a sujcient percentage of the shipments to enable them to have something to say about the prices to be paid for the farmers stock
 After that has been accomplished the next step is to take over and operate the packing houses themselves, to the end that a direct route from the pro- ducer to the consumer may be estab- lished, with the elimination of loss and waste and manipulation now existing.

 Two years ago the governors first budget did not allow one cent for the immigration and housing commission.

All ot those subterfuges were smashed when the mn, by an ovrwhelming vote, re- affirmed their confidence in the o. K. T.
 The Pennsylvania was not represent ed at this hearing General Atterbury took short note to the chairman of the board, stating in effect that the board was familiar with the established policy of the railroad, and therefore they would not be present at the hearing.
 The boarr later rendered a decision in which it was declared that the Order of Railway Photographers has been elect ed the duly authorized representative of the employees in telegraph service of tn ePennsylvania Railroad" The board also promulgated a set of working rules for the employees in the telegraph de- partment on that railroad.
