customer, shot twice in the head. He

QUEEN MARIE GIVEN
WARM WELCOME UPON
TRIP TO ST. LOUIS

QUEEN MARIES TRAIN AT ST.
LOUIS, Nov. 12.-(P-Queen Marie has
seen enough of this country to convince
her that the position of woman in
America is happier than anywhere
else"
The reason for it, she told st. Louis
women, who were her hosts at lunch
con, is that your men allow the
women to do their share" to a much
larger degree than in her own country.
II am struck with the wonderful
lives of the women here. I shall take
home vision of the wonderful work
that women do here, while at the same
time they have glorious time of it,"
Marie saw the sights of st. Louis to-
day while exchanging greetings with
thousands who poured out of business
offices during the noon hour to see
the royal Rumanians motor through
the city. She took the sightseeing tour
in broken doses, however, interspers-
ing frequent rest periods.
Members of her party explained that
although Marie continues in robust
health after three weeks of hurrying
about the country, she must be ready
for even more strenuous days ahead.
Beginning tomorrow night, four days
will be spent in Chicago where elabor-
ate entertainment plans have been laid
and the following week will take her
through other large cities of the east.
ST. Louis reception was friendly, and
Marie herself smiled broadest when
someone shouted from the sidewalk:
There's my baby" Rumanians who
called to her in the native tongue
also were rewarded with hand wavings.

JUNGLE J0E' CANNON DIES WHILE ASLEEP
Republican Members of House
Ways andMeans Conn1iteeNot
tSoZd' on Tax Relating Plan.

WASHINGTON, Nov 12 P-The
administrat.on's proposal for re-
bate on 1926 taxes to be paid next
year received only qualified approval
today from leading republicans of
the house ways and means commit
tee, with which any tax legislation
must originate. Both Chairman Green
and Representative Bacharach, re-
publican, New Jersey, indicated in
formal statements their personal pre-
ference that the $250,OOO, 900 treasury
surplus be used to reduce the public
debt and thus indirectly reducing the
total of the tax burden.
81 have always considered that
the time to pay off the public deb;
was when we were prosperous and
that some opportunity should be given
for the reduction of taxes wnen busi-
hess is depressed Representative
Green said.
'The plan OF making a reduction
IN the payments of next year either
on the personal income tax or that
of corporations is workable, but if
as to how such reduction is to be
applied.
Il do not believe that a reduction
of personal income taxes by a un:-
form percentage for all taxpayers can
be made satisfactory. While it has
been done before and the origina!
proposal was my own, the c,rcum-
stances now are very different both
as to the small taxpayer and tnoso
having the largest incomes"
Chairman Green reiterated htat MS
committee would give first atter<:on
to matters involving the return or
alien property and said that in all
probability this would occupy the
of the committee at least
until congress had convened
Representative Bacharach said that
if there was to he any tax reduction
at this time, it should be applied to
the relief of corporations, whose in
come tax was Increased one per cenS
in the last tax bill and those m
dividual taxpayers who came within
the $25,000 = 100000 income tax
brackets.
81 see no reason why such relic,
could not be worked out along the
lines suggested by the president
lie said.
"Of course it is aways we to bear
in mind that the reduction of our
pubic debt means an Indirect reduc-
ton in taxes. Since interest is paid
cut Of revenues from taxes. it nat
uray follows that the less interest we
have to pay the less taxes we will
have to pay"

COOLIDGE COTTON
IS GOOD ONE

NEW YORK, Nov. 12 LP)-The re-
Gently announced plan Of the presi-
dents cotton commission to with
draw from the market a large por~

a good thing to help dealers ana
spectators exploit the farmers

In Eis statement today Jordan SAID :;
The rural bankers of the souta have
at all times financed the cotton groyy-
ers 10 the limit of their abili as
shown IN hundreds of bank failures
over the cotton belt =. the last five
years. The recent action OF the
southern banks has rendered tre-
mendous "ervice to thA growers IN
stabilizing and checking further de-
preston in prices against the Iars-
est crop CT cotton ever grown in this
country.
In this crisis there is paramount,
