XMAS TREE FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE
 BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR

Under the supervision of the school teachers the children of the primary and upper grades have been drilled in rehearsals diligently for weeks past until today the program for the Com munity Christmas Tree program, to be held Friday evening at the Liberty theater under the auspices of the To- cal order, Pioneers of Alaska, is so we'll along that all are enthused over the reception which will greet the program. The curtain will arise promptly at o'clock
 It is not difficult to imagine the beautiful picture the little girls and boys will make, garbed quaintly in costumes made by themselves assisted by the teachers. "The Toy Shop" and Christmas in Other Lands" are the two leading features on the pro- gram which will also contain many other delightful numbers.
 The program in its entirety will be handed in to The Gateway tomorrow for publication. Between the inter- mission of the two numbers mention ed carols will be sung and singing by the community.
 With respect to the community sing two selections will be rendered, Holy Night! Peaceful Night!" and Tt Came Upon Midnight Clear" Programs, containing the first two verses of each will be passed among the audience.
 The high school four-piece orches- tra, which also has been practicing for weeks past with the performers. will be in the pit.
 A beautifully decorated Christmas tree, lit with a myriad of colored lights, will stand near one of the front exits so placed as not to hinder
 vision to the stage.

CONDITIONS ON COAST
 QUIET, P. [. M'MULlEN

Conditions on the coast appeared rather quite, according to P. c. Mo- Mullen, local business man who with Mrs. McMnllen and baby returned home a few days ago from tour of the southern States. Cotton is being grown everywhere, especially now in California and Arizona and as result, with the abundance of good crops else where, the market is low. However, where there was any indication of oil activity conditions were flourish ing. Amarillo, the latest oil strike, was passed up owing to lack of time but at the time they were in the vici- nity the stampede was on full blast.
 MT. and Mrs. McMu1len drove over 1000 miles from Oregon to their des- tination. Lufkin, Texas, the birthplace and home for many years of MT. Nc Mullen. Mrs. McMullen left for the States last June, MT. McMullen join ing her in September. The trip was enjoyed very much, naturally, but both were glad when the time came for heading back to their northern home and friends.

TAX REDUCTION PARADOX

Disappointment will follow the announcement that Congress has decided not to take the question of tax reduction at the present session.
 With surplus of $383 O83 in sight for this fiscal year $0O 863 for the following year, and this years surplus showing volume of more than $2O0O0OOOO Con- gress has acqesced in President Coodges suggestion that there should be relief from the burdens of taxation until there has been another years test of the reve nue law and sounding of the extent of the present pros perity.
 It is difficult to reconcile these views with those of Secretary of the Treasury Meo who says The nation has attained record level of income and there IS likely to be no ebbing of the high tide of prosperity"
 It would appear that either the Secretary of the Treasury in in his optimistic observation or Con- gress and President Coolidge are.
 The mere fact that the people are prosperous does not substaniae logic the continuang of onerous taxa ton unless there was for believing that swollen treasury would be necessary in the immediate flu ture This condition does not obtain, to credit the observations of the President that for appre henson appears with respect to international relations
 The public debt at the close of the present fiscal year July l. was showing reduction since the close of the of 84 289845 Of this reduction of $872,977 ,572 was made last year.
 The situation is paradoxical in that have what is characterized permanent prosperity, surplus of S383 09 and still called upon to pay interest upon that much of the public debt when might be applied either cutting down this interest relieving the nation of just hatmuch of burden represented to the heavy taxes now in force.
 There is the annual cry of economy in government, yet time has not produced Congressional body that did not slather at the mouth whenever there swollen treasuries and there plums to be handed out.

phases in the growth and develop
ment of the administrative depart
ments of the county from roads to
institutions. These developments
were usually advanced in the face
of criticism and opposition, but
they have proved timely and wise,
as is easily seen in the increase in
traffic, the growth of population,
and the widespread building activ-
