TAX REDUCTION
 AGAIN DISCUSSED
Bankers Convention Hears
 Views on This Issue

Los Angeles, Oct Pt-Further insurance of an annual surplus of S1OO,OO0, 900, which can be determin- cd only after full years trial' of the present rates, the American Bankers association convention here was informed today by Garrard B. Winston, under secretary of the trea- sury.
 "A good surplus is In sight for this fiscal year." he said, but warned that "it is quite too early to be assured that revenues will keep up.
 "The people do not want a reduc- ton one year." he declared, "and new taxes the next. The administra- tion has gone far into the past few years, and it should be sure the next step is not over the line. Reductions in expenditures are not likely, we should consider an annual surplus of s100,000,O00 as no more than properly balanced budget"
 Mir. Winston demanded that the debt be wiped out at the present uni form rate and denied that the debt has been reduced at the expense of adequate tax reduction. He criticized "political finance,' which, he said. had recently resulted in a proposal that the surpluses of two years be added to a low for total tax cut of that amount.
 Ut has been the policy of the treasury he explained, Ito recom- mend a balance between debt reduc- tion and tax reduction. If the 1920 return from internal revenue had been maintained for the succeeding six years 10 date, the American tax payer would give his government nearly 4,000,oO0.0O0 in additional taxes.

THE DEATH OF MRS. MARY
LOUISE WATKINS

in Chicago, December IA, 1862, and
she died in the city Of her birth at
P. NJ, July 9Th, 1926 in the home of
her sister, Mrs. Joanna Snowden Por-
ter, 4l31 Calumet Avenue. Mrs. Wat
kins had been in falling health about
year and suffered slight stroke last
October from which she soon recov-
cred, but the family knew then that
she could not with safety continue to
be as active in her home and church
work as her intrepid spirit prompted
her to be- But she could not be per-
suaded to lay down her cross and so
the Death Angel claimed her almost
in the act of doing a kindly act for
neighbor. The effort proved too much
for her and she had to be assisted to
her bed by her sister, where she passed
away few hours later after the vain
efforts of two physicians to save her.
Mrs. Watkins was one of nine chill
dren born to Joseph H. and Anna E.

1858, and was the widow of William
Watkins also a pioneer settler Of Chi
cago and one Of the original members

them with her just little while longer,
but her Christian faith triumphed and
so she resigned them into the keeping
of Him who doth all things well, and
took up her burden of life with I'M
shaken faith, loving heart, gentle
speech and sweet smile that cheered
and comforted all whose lives she
touched. She just naturally radiated
sunshine and no stranger would have
suspected the sorrow she had borne so
many times.
Mrs. Watkins grew up in the Chris
tan atmosphere Of Old Quinn Chapel,
OF which her parents were among the
first members, but later in life en-
braced the Seventh Day Adventist

church until her death. having served
as its treasurer thirteen years, and was
also the head Of its deaconess board
Last Wednesday evening her voice
was raised in supplication for saints
and sinners at the weekly prayer serv-
ice and after the close she called her
deaconess board together to arrange
for the funeral Of Brother Blevins,
little thinking the next call would be
for her, but she lived the life that pre-
pared her to meet her God at any mo-
ment. The deceased leaves to mourn
her loss devoted sister and brother.
