12 PER CENT TAX
 CUT IS POSSIBLE

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 22.- R)-Unofficial statements by treas ury officials indicate that a 12 per cent reduction in income taxes may be possible as the next step in lift ing the federal tax burden.
 This figure, while calculated with out intention to commit Secretary Mellon to any policy, was suggested on the basis of an incomplete andy sis of returns on income taxes, under the present law as shown in the March or first quarterly install ment. It would bear out previous statements that another two hundred million dollar total reduction could be made effective on taxes paid in 1926.
 Present indications are that the treasury will avoid making any def mite proposal to the next congress. when it is expected the tax question again will be alive. While MT. Mel lon has made no direct statement on the subject, most of his advisers favor keeping the treasury out of the fight; they are urging that the treasury inform congress of the state of the finances and point out what is possible, thus leaving the whole question of rates for the con. gressional leaders to decide.
 The first indication that another cut in income taxes was possible, was given when the March install ment exceeded the treasury's esti. mate, made last summer, by about eight million dollars. Further eyi- dence that total revenue receipts will be larger than originally calculated is given also in receipts from im- port tariffs which just now are about $5,000,0OO above the amount collected up to the same date in 1924.

Give The Boys Your Support

The Cody Lions Club at its last netting decided to gather at the
club rooms Saturday afternoon and attend the Cody owley foot
ball game in a body, wearing their official headgear. Although the
movement was not carried out exactly as planned. the club was well
represented at the game and it is intellectually back OF those
who represent Cody High School in athletics.
1t is not for the Lions Club or any other civic organization a
lone to lend its support to the football boys. 1t is a duty for the
people OF the community as a whole. The boys showed their stuff
Saturday when they won from one OF the strongest teams in the
northern part OF the state in a close game that was a hard fight from
sta1t to finish. Most OF the games will be played at home this year.
Let the boys know you're for them. Lay your work aside for the
moment, attend the games and root for Cody High.

About The Weather

Cody had its first taste of winter Friday morning with the first
real snow of the season. 1t was a decided contrast from the balmy
weather which this section has enjoyed during the early fall seasoh!
But what a thrill! One gets a kick out of this change in the weather
which is unknown in Florida and California, where~the temperature
varies but twenty degrees the year round and where the change of
season is only a dull Inonotony. = s2@s. u "a /.
Yes, we have wonderful weather in Wyoming. We have our
hot summer days and our cold winter nights. We have our rain
and our snow and our s1eet. We have our clear sunny days and our
fogs We have GU cold east winds and our warm Chinooks. 1t is
a variety of weather that is hard to beat. Take it all in all it * a.
wonderful stimulant. 1t is one of the things that makes life worth
living in Wyoming. =

Howdy!

Goes forth the first issue of the Cody Enterprise under the new
management. We have not had a lifelong nor a worldwide exper-
fence in the newspaper business; as a matter of fact this is our first
ofense Is an editor. However, we feel that we are qualified to
handle the situation and will put forth our best efforts to publish a
home town newspaper that is worth while. 1t may be rather crude
at first, but are confident that when we get strung out it will at
least measure up to the average. We have a little Scotch in us and
expect to improve with age.
We know not what the future may bring forth in our new ven

Make 1t Fifty-Fifty

The Wyoming State Board of Equalization recently, upon pc
tition of the oil companies accepted, clipped off $S75,3l9 in the valu-
alton placed upon their properties, to reduce their taxes. Included
in the companies are the wel-known names of Midwest, Standard
and Sinclair. Now, if the board will clip off the valuations placed
on the poor dry farmers property and the little home owners dwell
lngs, well call it a fifty-fifty proposition:
