ever Is necessary to put into effect

written into the eighteenth amend
ment of the Constitution of the
United States and the will of Con-
gress as expressed in the Volstead

600 for refunds of excessive customs

Stock Yards, Dec Sit was a very
night market in all lines Of livestock
at the Brighton yards at the Wednes-

beef cattle were trucked in as a
rainy morning on top of the heavy
previous snowfall made the roads
iussave, making the movement of
stock too difficult to risk. The mar
ket was strong and the small number
offered cleaned up quickly with good
values received. The poorest COW
cutter sold at 2 3-4c, and the best
fancy cows at 6@7c. This range

less taxes" he cautioned, "but 1t is
much more difficult to make an ad-
justment for more expenses MADE
necessary by more taxes. This is
particularly true with respect to
Federal taxes, since the necessity OF
imposing additional taxes would
arise from a decline in prosperity
which would decrease Governmental
revenue below Governmental ex-
penditures, decline which must
also affect all taxpayers. Increas-
ed taxes to meet Government re-
quirements would come at a time
not Of prosperity but of depression
and would aggravate the depression.
For these reasons l do not advise
the present session of Congress to
reduce permanently our tax rates or
abolish any particular tax. Each OF
the three reductions in taxes which
have been enacted by the Congress
since the fiscal year of 1921 have
been predicated on an assurance that
our financial condition warranted it.
No such assurance can be given to-
day as a warrant for future perman-
ent tax reduction.
with the experience of another
years test of the revenue act of
1926, and with a more accurate
knowledge which the year will give
of what the future has in store for
q continuance of our prosperity, We
can determine what our permanent
policy of taxation shall be. In times
of peace we must meet Govern
mental expenditures out of Govern
mental revenues. We should not
take by taxation more" than our re-
quirements. But also we should not
take less than our requirements"

Versions of Song Hits Vary
With the Singers
Enumeration.

Here is the artists conception OF
ancient and modern songs as they are
sung by the parlor sopranos.
Americans will have their fun, even
at the expense of the solemn as well
as the ridiculous, and their versions of
the song hits of the day and those
of the past become just as popular as
the original.
Parodies of songs sometimes live
longer than the real songs and the
jokesters can make or break a song, a
book or play.
San Antonians will recognize some
of the favorites from the titles above,
simply by reading them and listening
to what they sound like. Or better
just sing them and see if you don't
use the same words.
