HERE IN CONNECTION WITH
EVENTS OF CELEBRATION

On next Sunday the Jewish colony
of Key West and in all other parts of
the world will celebrate the festival
of Purim, and ceremonies will be
conducted at the local synagogue.
The word Purim means Lots" and
it was so called because Haman drew
lots to decide on what day the Jews
of Persia were to be exterminated.
He had influenced the King against
them but Mordecai and Queen Esther
came to the rescue and on the four
teenth day of the month Adar they
were saved. The story is told most
beautifully and POLITICALLY in the
Book of Esther.
This festival emphasizes the great
lesson that those who plot to harm
others will in the end suffer them
selves. 1t also teaches the beauty of
loyalty and the glory of an ideal man.
hood and womanhood as illustrated by
the hero and heroine, Mordecai and
Esther.

WIDESPREAD SLASHES IN
TAXES ARE RECOMMENDED
in NEW REVENUE MEASURE
SIGNATURE OF PRESIDENT
AWAITED FOR LEGIsLA-
TIoN TO BECOME EXIST
ING LAW.
tBy Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-En-
actment into law of the revenue bill
proposing tax reduction of $751;
100000 this year awaited today only
the signature of President Coolidge,
who was expected to approve the
measure.
Senate approval late yesterday by
a vote of sixty-one to ten of the
compromise reached in the confer
ence with the house completed the
work of congress on its first and
probably most important piece of
legislation this session.
The total amount of reduction
goes almost 100000, 900 beyond the
outside limit which Secretary Mellon
had indicated the condition of the
treasury would permit, but favorable
action by the president is believed
assured on the promise of admins
tration leaders to forestall some of
the pending bills calling for addi-
tional expenditures.
The widespread slashes in taxes
would become effective in most
instances Immediately upon en-
actment Of the measure and income
tax payers would have their assess
nent cut by more than S20O,0O0.-
600 with the reduced rates effective
on first payments for this year.
which are due March l5.
More than $4,000 OF the ap-
proxfmately 100000 federal tax
myers wouIa BE relieved ef AL lax
alton through the proposed increase
in personal exemptions from $1,000
TO $1,000 for single persons and from
$4,000 to $500 for married per-
sons.
Ihe principal fight developed over
the inheritance tax which the sem
ate voted to repeal but which was
kept in the bill by the house, which
modified the rates, in contrast to the
two previous reduction bills voted
since the war, almost complete agree
ment was reached between the party
leaders on the vital income tax sche-
dulles.

NEW PROPOSAL.
OFFERED FOR
MUSCLE: SHOALS
Another Southern Senator
Seeks Government
Operation.
tBv Thomson q NC Kinnon )
Times WdshinGtOn Bureau.
1922 Mem York A rCuHe

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Govern-
ment operation of Muscle Shoals I'M
der the Federal Power Commission
is the latest proposal made to Con-
gress.
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana is
author Of the new bill.
Three southern Senators now have
Government operation bills pending
before the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee. Senator Smith of South
Carolina proposes operation under
a commission composed of the Sec
retaries of war and Agriculture.
Senator Mcclellan of Tennessee pro
poses operation under a three-man
commission, one member TO he the
Department of Agriculture fixed nj
trogen expert and the other two to
be appointees Of the President
A fourth Government operation
bill is that Of Senator Norris of Ne
braska, the same bill he has kept
before Congress throughout the
Muscle Shaols controversy.
Hearing on all four bills will be-
gin before the Senate Agriculture
Committee, Of which Norris is chair
man, during the next week.
The bills Of Senators Ransdell and
Mcclellan both provide that States
and municipalities shall have prefer
entail right to electricity and power
produced by the Federal Government
at Muscle Shoals. Senator Norris
bill puts the. Government even more
firmly in the power field. Senator
Smiths bill. declares that manufac-
ture of nitrates is the principal func-
ton Of Muscle Shoals. but Smith is
determined to prevent Muscle Shoals
being grabbed by private interests.
That three, southern men now
have Government operation bills
pending indicates that sentiment on
Government operation is changing
in the South. A year ago Senator
Norris was fighting practically alone
against private exploitation.
