WILL
OPPOSE GREAT T
CUT IN TAXES

PAUL SMITHS, N. Y, Sept. IA
(AP)-President Coolidge is opposed
to reduction of $560,OOO,O0O in fed
eral taxes at the coming short ses'
sion of congress, as urged by Senaa
tor Simmons, Democrat, North Caro-
lima, considering such a step un,
warranted by present conditions.
With the government running on
It's present margin between expenses
and income, the president believes
any such reduction in the immediate
future might require an extensive
and perhaps inadvisablA readjust-
ment or arrangements for the dis
posal of the huge national public
debt. At the same time he ravors
a reduction of taxes as rapidly as
they can be brought down. He also
favors paying off the public debt as
speedily as possible, consistent with
wise public financing.
Moreover, the president is not GER
tain that the country demands an
extensive tax reduction at this time
Certainly, he holds, those who are
demanding cancellation of the for
eign debt to this country would not
favor it, as he believes both can
not go together. AS for the pro-
posals that the foreign debts be can
celled and taxes reduced, it was said
in behalf of Coolidge today thar
they would not harmonic.
The president has from the first,
it was asserted, stood for program
of reducing taxes and obtaining re-

County Supervisors Yet
Busy With Canvass of
Votes Cast in Primary

The members of the Cochise
county board of supervisors at
a late hour Tuesday night were
still engaged in canvassing the
vote of the recent primary elec-
tion, according to word received
from Tombstone.
Since early Monday morning tho
supervisors have been engaged In
the task. and it is understood
that they worked until late Mon
day night. At IL o'clock Tuesday
night word was received that they
did not hope to complete the
canvass until shortly before noon
today.
Some idea Of the magnitude o
the task can be had when it is
remembered that it took the clerks
of each precinct from to 10
hours to count the votes of theii
precincts. The supervisors must
check the votes cast in every pre-.
cinct of the county.

REPORTS DELAY
PROMOTION

Many Inquiries have been re-
ceived at the Navy Department
from officers as to reasons for
delaying results OF the examination
of Navy officers for promotion,
all expressing wonder at what
appears to be an unusually long
time between the date of compile
ton of the examination and the
final action of the examining board.
The department explains that
the delay in most cases Is oc1a-
stoned by the absence Of fitness
reports covering some periods IF
duty on the part of the officers.
The Naval. Examining Board
does not feel that it can submit
its recommendations unless 1t has
before it for consideration reports
showing the manner OF perform
ance Of duty covering the entire
period of the service of the officer
in the grade from which he ID TO
