New York Irritates Bialik

Hebrew Poet Flashes Singing WI,ip
Over Modern Nineych"

Chain Bialik has broken silence
The trcmors produced in him by con,
tact with the seething have stirred hi.
idle pen into action. Here is an ex.
tract from his poem on New York
freely translated from the Hebrew:
Let the noicc of the metropolis roar
as it pleases.
Let the cyploiter and exploited perish
in the stencil Of their exploitation
Let the smoke of its chimneys darken
the blue of the seven skies,
Spring in its eternal law. sweet. pure
and tender,
"Will come through millions of cracks
and will flourish"
This Bialik begins his description
Of the spring in the Great City.
And said in my heart: Nest of
Satan.
The source of all mankind's
plaques, the bosom OF all hor-
roms, the city which Gods
grace has despised and
where Gods eye will not
rest,
Your end is the end of Sodom
and Nineveh"-
When the Day will come. the Day
of Judgment,
When you will have grown very
high,
And your burden will be too
heavy.
When your yoke will become too
irksome.
You will fall to pieces
Like straw hut"
Those who read poetry with prosaie
eyes resent these visions. Anew York
has not treated the poet so badly that
he should predict for it the end of
NineNeh, they mutter. The lovers Of
poetry laugh at the resentment and
are happy that New York, with its
'piendor and hugcness, has awakened
N the Hebrew poet his harp and has
brought out tones reminiscent of those

LONDON, November 6-Those who

Thursday showed curious surprise
when Australia's youthful and virile
premier, Stanley M. Bruce. declared

He eased the situation for his

that Australia now enjoyed full lib

Both Americans and Australians de-

there is between them a very binding

TAX CUTS CALLED,
WISE '2S STRATEGY
Leaders Believe Return OF
Money VIII Bring Timely
Prosperity Talk.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President COolidGe'S announcements
that he favors a rebate on income tax
payments made during the year 1926
on incomes earned in 1925 represents
a compromise between two plans
which were so hopelessly involved
with politics that decision was de-
ferred until after the congressional
elections.
The Democrats have been insisting
that another tax revision law could pe
adopted at the short session, when
begins next month and ends In
March. The Republicans in Congress
have impressed on the administration
that it would be difficult for them to
stop the Democrats If such move
should be started. President Coolidge
had hoped that tax reduction could be
deferred until the Congress which
meets in December, 1927, and the Win
ter of 1928 could be convened. He has
contended that not until then would
there be a clear idea of how the tax
law. which went into effect this year,
actually operated.
Secretary Mellon has shared the
view of the President that it would
be better to get further data before
trying to pass another set of rates,
but the political pressure to do some
thing at the session of Congress
which begins next. month was too In
tense to withstand.
ClaInOr to Be Satisfied.
Accordingly, the decision has been
reached by the administration that
rebate on 1926 payments would not
commit the Government to perma-
nent reduction of rates. but would
satisfy the clamor for an immediate
reduction.
Whether the Democrats have been
checkmated by this move remains to
be seen. for II is quite likely they will
endeavor just the same to get the
rates revised They have the figures
issued by the Treasury itself as a
basis for their argument, and the ad-
ministration will have to use consid-
cradle pressure to keep the Repub-
licans in line behind the policy Of no
revision.
Much more, however, can be ac-
complished in short session of Con-
gress to block revenue legislation
than would be the case If the session
did not expire automatically on
March 4 next. For one thing, the
Ways and Means Committee has not
been called into session. as was the
case last year before Congress met
in December. So even If all sides
were united on the issue of tax re-
vision, 1t is doubtful If bill could
be reported much before February.
fractional differences probably would
proIong the debate and make 1t diff
fcult to get a measure through by
March 1.
BY announcing that a simple reso-
luton Of rebate will be approved, the
administration has taken the initi-
ative and incidentally will develop a
novelty in that actual money will be
returned to the taxpayer. The psy-
Geological effect of returning 10 or
II per cent of money which the tax
payer as the slang phrase has 1t,
had kissed good-by," is something
which cannot be underestimated. But
entirely apart from this is the effect

The Supreme Court is now in recess

It can act on the petition Will be NO

Indictments originally were chal-
lenged in the trial court because of
the presence of certain persons in the
grand Jury room. The trial court sus-
tanned them and an appeal was taken
TO the Court of Appeals. Congress
later passed the Walsh act taking
away from the court the right to
entertain such appeals and a month
later II dismissed the action.

Sinclair and Fall, in their petition
