AND now, about Colonel Mitchell?
n What will President Coolidge
do, or allow done about him? Are
the incompetents that hate Just criti-
cism to have their way? Will there
be a court .martial, and will men Of
Tended by Mitchell's truth telling be
permitted again to humiliate and de-
grade that truth-telling officer?
THE answer to that question will
i interest the people. At least 30
per cent OF them are with Mitchell.
And the people will credit President
Coolidge, real head of the army and
navy, and all-powerful, not any
dummy court-mnrtial, when the Nit

Mitchell denounced our aircraft

OBJECTION

EXPECTED
MELONS, Tax Reform Pro-
gram Presents Several
Points of Difference
GREEN GIVES APPROVAL
Various Organizations and
individuals Will BE Heard
BY Committee
GREEN GIVES APPROVAL

Washington. Oct. 2O.-LP)-Several
ma or fighting points are furnished
IN the treasury's tax reform program
as presented yesterday to the house
ways and means committee by Secrc-
tary Mellon. These are the principal
proposals which are certain to en-
counter strong opposition in con
gress:
A maximum surtax rate on in
comes of 20 per cent. against the
present 40 per cent.
Repeal of the inheritance or cs-
tate tax.
Repeal of the publicity provision
of the income tax law.
Still another ma jor point Of differ
ence between the treasury and con-
gress is the actual total of the re-
duction. Secretary Mellon has warn
ed that it would be inadvisable to
go beyond $300,00O,0O0. Il sum en-
tirely too low to suit some of the
leaders on the Republican, as we'll
as the Democratic side.
Reductions Proposed
Along with the proposal for cutting
the maximum surtaX rate in half,
the treasury secretary made known
that his program called for smaller
reduction also in the normal rates
applying on small incomes. He
would reduce to one and one half per
cent the two per cent rate on incomes
up to $4,000, make the rate three per
cent instead Of four per cent on in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000 and
reduce to five per cent the present
six per cent rate on incomes in eX-
cess of $4,000. The joint reduction
al Il
the maximum tax which would be
paid by individual taxpayers. Nix.
Mellon said this return would liber-
ate large amounts of capital for pro-
ductve enterprise, >would increase
prosperity and ultimately bring into
| the treasury probably as much rev.
! cnue as could be expected in the
future under the present 40 per ccTT
| MAXIMUM.
Democratic leaders. as well cs
: some Republicans, have announced
| that they favored cut in the maxi
mum surtax rate only to 25 per cent
| and would approve greater reductions
! in the normal rates than proposed
, by the treasury head.
Chairman Green Of the committee.
! however, has virtually given ap-
! proval to Mr.. MELONS surtax pro-
! posal.
Will Hold Hearings
Before undertaking to study the
treasury proposal in full detail, the
committee will devote two weeks to
the hearing of the various organiza-
tions and individuals interested in
the subject of tax reform.
Before the public hearings are con
cuded, the treasury will submit de-
tailed estimates of receipts and cx-
penditures for the government Cor
the next two years. From these, the
committee is expected to make its
| own calculations as to the amount OF
taxes which can be removed over a
period Of years without cmbarrass-
| ment to the treasury.

STATE TO HAVE
ONE SENATOR
IN CONGRESS
No Election Will Be Called to
Select Successor TO Late
Senator Ladd
I'LL. NOT APPOINT
Governor SOrlie Decides
Against Special Election
Because of Cost

In statement here today Gov. A.
G. Sorlie indicated that North Da
kota Will have only one senator At
the December session Of congress.
His determination, it was indicat-
ed at the executive offices. is the
result Of statement by Senator
Moses. New Hampshire. that an ap-
pointec by the governor oc North
Dakota to serve out the uneypirea
term Of the late Senator f. +. Ladd
would not be seated by the senate.
Moses letter reviewing the law and
precedentS in the case was received
by Gov. Sorl!e a month ago.
81 have definitely announced that
there would be no election to select
succc c>Sor' Gov. Sorlie said $50
far as can see there is no urgent
demand that | appoint anyone and no
matter whom | appointed it would
cause trouble"
The governor had reference to the
North Dakota political situation
which has been complicated by AN
apparent split in the Nonpartisan
League which is believed by political
observers to have divorced the exc
cutive from the more radical element
in his own party.
Referring to an editorial in a
North Dakota newspaper which said
"maybe the governor has concluded
to let the matter go by default until
next summer" the executive said it
WAS good guess"
Governor Sorlc's determination
not to call special election to name
a successor to Ladd was the result
of estimates by state officials that
it would cost between $l50,00O and
$2OO,OOO.
, "North Dakota doesn't need an
other senator that badly said the
executive. at will only be a short
time unit the people will elect a
successor to Senator Ladd in 'tho
usual course of events anyway" The
! next primary election is scheduled
, for June, 1926. at which candidates
| for senator will be selected.
l.. B. Hanna and r. A. Nestos, for
mer governors and both members of
the conservative wing Of the Repub-
lcan party in North Dakota, are be.
ing urged by their friends for the
post. Considerable speculation has
been had. also, regarding the posi-
blity of Gov. Sorlie entering the
race as 4 Nonpartisan.

PASSENGERS
SAY SAILORS
WERE DRUNK
Serious Charges Made Fol-
lowing Burning of Clyde
Liner COmanche

New York, Oct. 20.--F-Charges
are made by survivors returning
home that members of the negro
crew of the Clyde liner Comanche
which burned off the Florida coast
Saturday, were drunk, and in some
instances caused passengers to be
hurled out of lifeboats into the water
H. b. Raymond, president of the
Clyde steamship line, denies the
rumOrS.
"The Comanche was one of oul
best ships and Captain r. T.. Curry
one of our most trusted captains,
said Mr.. Raymond. "lf the crew had
been drunk he would not have left
port"
Dispatches from Florida and state
ments of survivors arriving or pass
ing through here give picture OF
decentralization of the crew when the
fire was discovered. Passengers are
depicted as having been calm at the
time when members of the crew were
pulling them from lifeboats and up
setting boats in their haste to get
off the red hot upper deck.
Scene Described
Irwin Gomez of Worchcster. Mass.
said: "Thc negro crew, intoxicated
and mad, rushed back ard forth on
the deck. Passengers trying to get
into boats were yanked out by ne
groes. I finally got into a boat
when it had been partly lowered. The
apparatus jammed and some of us
were thrown headlong into the wa
ter"
The only one of the 167 passengers
unaccounted for is VIM. j. Lawler of
Winthrop, Mass, who is believed to
have been drowned. Search is being
made for his body. None of the crew
is missing.
