quietly in the bus that the other

today to Spring Hill cemetery and the

TAX CUT MIGHT
BE AS HIGH AS
IS PER CENT
Treasury Secretary Mellon
Makes New Estimate BASED
on $3CO.OOO. 900 Surplus
CONGRESS- Is SILEN +
Proposal Is to Give Taxpayers
Reductions on First Two
lHstallments
CONGRESS Is SILEN r

Washington, Nov. l6-LN If con-
grcss approves the Coolidge Mellon
plum to allow credits on income tax
payments next year, the treasury sec
retary now believes that Is per cent.
instead Of 10 or 12i. as formerly sug-
gested. can be Topped off the levics.
Mr.. Melons new estimate is based
on continued Improvement in the
treasury's surplus prospects; the fig
ure having risen to $500, 900, 900.
When President Coolidge made his
original suggestion, calling for 10
per cent allowance, he based his cal
culatiOns on an estimate that the
treasury would have $500, 100000 on
hand at the end of the current fiscal
year. Seeing $50.OOO.OOO more in
prospect. the secretary shortly after
wards figured that the credit Of l2,.
per cent was possible but since then,
another $5O,0OO,OOO has come into
view, bringing another -. per cent
boost
Reduction Not Permanent
The latest estimate would mean
that taxpayers, making returns next
year on this years incomes, could be
granted 30 per cent reductions on
their first two quarterly installments.
This change, however, carries with il
no alteration in the opinion Of treas
ury officials that legislation to make
a permanent reduction in the tax rates
at this time is not justified by visible
iong-range prospects under the pres
ent law.
Such legislation. they feel. would
rest on insecure economic fOunda-
tions. 1t would have to presuppose a
continuance Of prosperity now being
experienced, and this, Mr.. Mellon
holds, would be unwise because de-
cline then would wipe out the posi-
bility Of surplus and might even
make an increase in tax rates neces-
| sary.
! Meanwhile sentiment in cOngres-
sional circles discloscs no sign Of
icrystallizing for or against tho ad-
| lministration's credit proposal

The details Of organization have

fected for y speedy solicitation of
the entire community. Red Cross

good for record enrolment, and
they confidently expect this years
memoership to be q substantial in
crease over that Of last year.

tomorrow noon. Thos. Hall I'd.
dressed the Lions club yesterday.
The annual Roll Call Of th'
American Red Cross is not q finan
cial drive, according to Miss Mary
Cashel, county secretary. It is MOI
. campaign for money. It is thu
annual effort to secure as man,
members in the organization q,
there are men and women in thl
United States who wish to partici
pate in the local, national and IN
ternational service to humanity
rendered by the organization.
Campaign For Members
It is quite true that the mem.
bership dues paid at the time u
the Roll Call maintain the worl
Of the organization, Miss Cashe
said. It ID equally true, however
that the Red Cross is just as anx.
ious that it shall have on its mem.
bership lists the names of thes,
Red Cross supporters as it il b
have their dollars in its treasury.
The fact that the Red Cross is I
membership society and that it
annual campaign Is for member,
mot for dollars-is one that hal
made the organization distinctive
It is one Of the outstanding rea
sons why the American peopl,
have continued their loyalty to ths
Red Cross.
In the local chapter it is neces
sary not only to secure q larg'
membership, but to secure in addi
tion sufficient funds to carry OF
the local program of the chapter
These funds can be secured ogll,
through the Roll Call and thr0ugl

lcal Red Cross work to make sub
scriptions. 80

WE ARE OUT, THEY MOURN.
HERE IS A FAIRY.
UNCLE JOE IS GONE.
A NEW FUEL.
By Arthar Brisbane.

President Coolidge realizes that
this country doesn't want to be
tied up in any world court. Some Of
his best friends have been kicked
out of the senate because they tried
to push the United States into that
court. Intelligent men in office have
taken warning, viewing the politically
dead bodies Of world court agitators.
That's good.
President Coolidge's announce
ment that if we can't enter the world
court on any basis we choose. which
is his way of saying that we won't
join, annoys Europe. Our cousins
across the waters, II they could get
us in that court would hand US deci-
sions jim regard to American debts.
and other things that would be very
valuable to them. Hence their grief.
But the announcement that this
country will rely on it's own courts
In the future, as in the past, did not
hurt our credit any.
