 "freasury figures show beyond any doubt" he said, that there will be e surplus at the end of the present fiscal year of at least $500, ,G00 GOO. The treasury can we'll stand the re- dnctjons proposed and the people deserve them.
 Living Costs Lowered.
 "The rttuCtion in the corporation tax would benefit the entire people and reduce lha cost Of living $SoO,- o10,ooo annually, The great bulk Of the corporation taxes are passed on 70 the consumers and they would be inc real beneGciaries of the reduc- tica proposed. The smaller corpora tons also would be aided.
 we have been constantly incrcas- ing corporation taxes to reduce or repeal other taxes. 1t is only fair to reduce these when the condition of tEe treasury clearly warrants such action."
 Garner described the automobile taxes purely a consumption tax which the poor as well as the rich must pay and asserted that taxes of admissions and club dues are paid by the great masses of the people"
 Burden On Farmers.
 There is no reason to continue tho stamp tax on sales of wheat, cot ,ou, corn and other products" he continued. T. is simply another bur den on the fcrmers which brings comparatively little revenue into the treasury.
 'The democratic bill is equitable and fair. It would beneG. every man, woman and child in thts country. The people deserve and demand it's enactment into law"

sign of irregular dark brown spots on a yelowish beige ground. As this coat is intended mainly for sports wear, it's lines and trimming details are essen- italy tailored in character. There is no contrasting fur on account of the decorative effect of the spotted skin.
 What trimming does appear is insig- niticant so as not to conflict with the ornamental fur It consists of two rows of narrow pipngs of beige colored kasha on the fronts. Otherwise the coat is
New Britain herald., 1926-09-09

beige colored kasha on the revers, cuffs and skirt section.
 Light brown kasha with bright bor- der printed in tones of red is used for the lining. The hat is a small close fit ting shape of brown suede, trimmed with star shaped motif of tan leather on one side of the high crown.
 While equally simple in the matter of silhouette, the ether two models shown to-day are trife more elaborate in their trimmings. The more important of the two is {. lovely wrap of gray American broadtail combined with white fox dyed to match. Because an after noon wrap of this kind is more formal and luxurious in it's general effect tha, the simpler sports models, certain fexibility of silhouette is customary.
 In this case the lines combine a look of slenderness with an appearance If easy grace. The back is straight. plain and fairly close fitting. The front sec tlon, on the contrary, is distinguished by a decorative panel and a slightly f1ared lower portion. The panel is bordered by strips of silver cloth treated to re. semble leather These form geometric motifs and the panel itself is cut on a diagonal line to further the suggestion of modernist art
 In contrast to the other three cuffless models, this wrap not only has cuffs but cuffs of contrasting fur. These sec- tions and the wide soft collar arc of dyed fox. Just above the cuffs are bands Of the silver cloth trimming. Silver cloth so treated as to resemble sunnIe kid IS also used to make the lininp It IS bordered with decorative design of orange and green painted motifs.
 The remaining coat is a most original wrap of natural pony skin in mellow brown tones. As the pelts are very soft and flat this fur is an ideal medium for tailored type of coat, Here the lines are very straight, with narrow shoulders and plain, tight sleeves. The only con cession to femininity appears in the shlrred collar and the trimming. Tbis latter feature is unquestionably the, dominant note of the wrap. It consists of narrow bands of deep red and fan kasha in large flower motifs on the hot tom of the coat at both the sides and front The same design is also used m the revers.

sports models. Beige
 colored antelope coats intended for sports use often are lined with matching kasha finished with a decorative border, thus making the wrap reversible. The more elaborate afternoon models feature Things of sil- yer lame embroidered in vivid colors, or silver cloth treated to resemble leather and ornamented with colorful applique motifs.
 The models shown to-day illustrate the prevailing straight silhouette. They also are indicative of the vogue of tai lored effects in trimming and such tell ing details as sleeves, shoulder lines and collars. Two are frankly sports models the other two may be used for sports or general street wear.
New Britain herald., 1926-09-09


 Another feature of these early season fur wraps is the tailored character of both silhouette and trimming. Un- necessary fullness is conspicuously ab- sent. The shoulder-line is narrow and the peits as closely nodded to the figure as though the material were supple wool or silk.
 Sleeves are small and the same width all the way down; collars, of both self and contrasting furs, are high in back and made to be worn fastened close about the throat in front or thrown open to reveal the decorative revers; and, finally, the majority of coats feature wrap around closing.
 Among the smart furs for early fall street wear arc American broadtail, beaver, mink, antelope, beige and cocoa dyed squirrel and caracul. The belts intended for sports use are leopard, muskrat, krimmer, nutrla and the new kid skins patterned to resemble snake or giraffe skins. Ermine holds its place as the queen of furs for evening wear, with Russian sable close second.
 Linings achieve a new importance this season. Rodier kasha in gray striped and figured effects lines many of the new

Every detail enhances the effect of smart simplicity. The sleeves are close fitting and the same size all the way down; the collar is as plain as that on mans coat, with the narrow revers and notched effect characteristic of tailored modes; even the trimming is severe, consisting of narrow pipings of

Top coats are mannish in both fabric and contour; tailleurs and three piece outfits have rarely any feminizing curves, while sports costumes avoid all suggestion of the faring line. Afternoon models, also, are partial to pencil-like effects, many of the new de signs showing an unbroken line from neck to hem.
 It is only in the realm of evening gowns that we find any concession to feminine elegance typifeu by more undulating silhouette. And here the circular and tared cut frequently is han dled in such manner that at rest the dress appears delightfully."- slim and curvcless.

 A wrap of this u S e f ul character should not be bur dened W i t h any flares or furbelows. Straight lines are best, and tight fit ting sleeves without cuffs. In this case the collar and cuffs are quite plain, the shoulder-line narrow and the revers with out any contrasting trimming. To make up for this severity there is an unusually smart lining made of Rodier k a S h a printed in a colorful design at the bot.-

tom. If preferred, the coat may be worn with this kasha side out.
 A small hat made of the same fur accompanies this coat. It is a modi- fled beret, with high, flexible crown. The edge of the brim is bound with beige kasha to match the trimming on the coat.
