 Deputy Marshal Wiseman also said that he had made a trip to Nelson island and arrested Mrs. Doctor Turn gonk, native, and, on his way back, a native named Malonye. Both are in sane, and will be taken to the States.

nlinistration's plan of tax reduction
for next year was disapproved here
tonight by Senator Lenroot, Republi-
can. Wisconsin, as one that would
benefit largely the corporations and
big business men and not the people
from whom the taxes actually have
been collected.
Speaking at a dinner of New York
credit men. the Wisconsin senator,
who frequently has differed with
leaders of his party on details of tax
and tariff legislation, proposed that
instead of giving credit on this
years taxes payable next year con-
gress make one year reduction. ef-
fective in 1928, to absorb the treas
ury surplus.
Senator Lenroot declared there
was no controversy over the PROPOSE :.
ton that most of the taxes are pass
ed on by business concerns to the
people as whole in the price of
things the people buy to eat, wear
and use.

any change in the Ineligible alien

vehicle transportation.
Other resolutions urged that the

preparations for the determination of

National Grange executive committee
was instructed TO work for the return

ing went on record in favor OF a high
er tariff on tomatoes and favored the
