Particularly do they feel concerned
over the two big taxation reforms, to
which President Coolidge con-
stantly refers and to which he has
pledged his administration. These
reforms embrace the abolition of
the Federal inheritance tax and
reduction of surtaXes to maximum
of Is per cent, as compared with
40 per cent in the existing law.
Basis of New Tax Plan
These twin reforms provide the
basis of the new Mellon tax plan

President has laid more stress ny on
it than upon any other specific

Democrats are additionally hostile,

tion agents seizing n large illicit dis
tlling plant, placing two men under
arrest and confiscating tons of ma

operator at the still, wounded in the
leg, escaped in the underbrush with
a fellow worker.
The men arrested are Washingto

each charged with illegal possession
Of liquor and manufacturing, and
were taken to Baltimore. where a
hearing will be given by United

row.
Prohibition Agents l.. j. Tutt and
Tom Wheeler advanced on the distil-
ling plant early in the afternoon. A
volley of shots greeted them.
Four operators of the still, seeking
improvised cover, peppered away at
the prohibition agents. The latter re-
turned fire generously. After several
exchanges and a few narrow esca pes
from passing bullets the agents saw
one man grab his leg and start away,
limping, into the underbrush. An
other assisted him.
The remaining two were taken into
custody.
The seizures included a large steam
| boiler operating "a 1,000-gallon still,

Engineers Branch of Society Will
Hold Benefit Affair at Wash
ington Barracks.

The Engineer branch of the Army
Relief Society will give its annual
dance Friday evening at the Officer
Club at Washington Barracks for the
benefit of the societys treasury.
The Relief Society is an organiZa-
ton which provides for the widows
and children of officers and enlisted
men killed in the peace-time service
An example is given in the case of
an Army Air Service pilot on duty in
one of the island possessions who
was killed in an airplane crash. His
widow needed money to return TO this
country and the society instantly re-
Sponded.
Seven calls for assistance were re-
ceived by the society in one day and
help was granted. Many widows are
given temporary financial assistance
and many children are kept in school
by the society.
The society is organized into Il.
branches. and these in turn are com
posed of from 10 to 60 sections. Both,
the branches and individual sections
raise funds, which are disbursed by a
committee on relief after proper in
vestigation in each case.

BALTIMORE, November .
The "jaZZ age" in America is dy-
ing out, Sherwood Anderson, au-
thor, told the members of the
Federated Women's Clubs here
this week
I'VE are still the fastest people
in the world. But some of us are
stopping to wonder where we are
moving. Are we not going around
in a circle? 1t is very desirable
to ride 90 miles an hour, but SO
miles is dangerous and undesir-
able.
1T is the younger generation
which is most affected by this"
Anderson said. They live in an
age of things-of physical facts
But they are not sod on the
facts on which life has been based.
They are not sure of anything.
In the next 25 years" he said,
the change will be intensified.
The younger generation will be
more contemplative- set on
speed and action. There will be
more regard for beauty and a
deeper understanding of America
and American life"

MORE SNOWP[OWS
NOW AVAILABLE
Hacker Expects to Clean
Much Greater Street Area
After Storms This Winter.

Equipped with Is more snowplows
than it had year ago, the District
Street Cleaning Department has de
cided to concentrate in its snow re
moval work this Winter on the open
ing up of lanes for traffic on all of
the main thoroughfares.
In making this announcement yes
terday, Morris Hacker, supervisor of
street cleaning and city refuse, said
that with the equipment purchased
by the Commissioners during the past
few weeks he has a total of 35 plows
as compared with 30 last Winter.
This plan of using as many plows
as possible attached to the fronts OF
trucks to push the sno.~ out of the
center of the streets so that traffic
will not be tied up is in line with
program advocated il. "a series of
articles in The Star a short time
ago on the subject of snow removal.
VIII Clear More Streets.
With the equipment re had last
year. Mr.. Hacker said, he was only
able to plow about 90 niles of the
streets. BY increasing the number of
plows to 35 the superintendent ex-
poets to plow $50 miles of the main
streets and highways during snow
storms this Winter.
Mr.. Hacker is now busy with his
assistants mapping out a new, en-
larged area of street surface that ca n
be covered with the additional equip
ment. While this map has not been
completed, Mr.. Hacker said il will in
clude the plowing of practically all of
the downtown congested area and
each of the boulevard highways that
extend out to the edges of the Dis
trict.
of course" said Mr.. Hacker, I'VE
probably will continue to use our
wagon force to remove the piles of
snow from downtown business streets,
but our first efforts will be concen-
trated on using the plows to push the
snow to the sides of the streets"
Will Disturb Parking.
The superintendent pointed out that
in heavy snow the use of plowS to
push it to the sides will reduce the
available space for parking automc-
biles. Anticipating this, Mr.. Hacker
said the public can cooperate during
snowstorms by not using their pri-
vate automobiles if they can avoid
doing SO.
When snowstorms visit the city
Mr. Hacker said he also would APP
peal to the public not to push the
snow from the sidewalks into the gut
ters. In cleaning the sidewalks, he
explained the snow should be pile |
in the spaces around and between the
tree boxes and thus avoid clogSinS
the cutters.
Each truck TO which a snow pillow
is to be attached will have placard
permanently placed in the driver $
seat describing the route TO be fol
lowed. Thus each driver will have
assigned to him 4 permanent snow
plow route for the season.
Mr. Hacker stated that the snow
program outlined for this Winter VIII
not necessitate the use of any of the
vehicles of the ash and garbage col
lection service and that both of these
services win be maintained as nearly
as possible to regular schedule when
the city is visited by snoWfallS.

RANGE CONDITIONS IN
ARIZONA FOR WEEK

Light to heavy rains were general
during the week over the grazing
areas. Light showers fell in Williams,
Prescott, Grand Canyon, Whiteriver
and Nogales; moderate rains fell in
Seligman, Flagstaff, Thatcher, Fort
Bayard and Gamereo; heavy rains in
Pinedale, Holbrook, Tucson and
Douglas sections. These rains were
for the most part accompanied by
heavy thunder and high winds. Dust
storms were general. Night tempera-
|tures were unusually high during the
week but lower day temperatures pre-
vailed in eastern Arizona and In SOUTH
western New Mexico. Excessively high
day temperatures occurred in central
and in western Arizona. The water
supply was greatly improved through
out the district, but the ranges con-
tinue in poor condition in the Prescott,
Thatcher and Holbrook sections, and
from fair to good in the other Sec
tions. Water is reported plentiful in
southwestern New Mexico. Cattle
continue in poor condition in the
Thatcher and Holbrook sections, and
from fair to good elsewhere.
Excellent crop conditions prevailed
in the irrigated valleys. Grapes and
melons are plentiful and of good
quality; the cotton IS putting on
many squares. The Colorado river is
dropping slowly from the peak Of the
spring rise. The peak stage was the
lowest since 1904
