MARKED TAX CUT
IS SEEN BY GREEN
Ways and Means Chairman
Calls Committee to Meet
October 81.
By the Associated Press.


Expressing the belief that there is
no necessity for a special session ol
Congress and forecasting substan-
tial tax reduction. Chairman Green
of the House ways and means COM
mittee has called a meeting on
October 81 Of his committee, which
has original jurisdiction over the
formulation Of q new revenue bill.
The lowering of taxes, however
will be controlled to q large extent
the Iowa Representative declared. by
the extraordinary appropriations
which are to be met by the next
session. But he characterized the
estimates of Treasury officials Of a
$3.50. 100000 surplus available for
this purpose as too low. He indi-
Gated that corporation levies and
certain brackets of the income tax
would receive primary consideration
in the decreases.
Marked Increases Seen.
Mr.. Green in his analysis Of the
pending tax legislation pointed out
that the Mississippi flood and naval
cruiser appropriations. together with
the deficiency appropriations which
failed in the last Congress and the
increase expenditures by the coming
session.
He saw no probability Of tariff re-
vision in the session. Adding that
'it is evident only reductions which
are most pressing should be con-
sidered," Mr. Green expressed agree
ment with the administration view.
point that IL substantial tax reduc'
ton is to be obtained Congress must
be careful about the expenditures.
The Iowan declared that he ex-
pected the bill to be enacted with.
out a special session" in time to be
effective In next years returns.
Budget Estimate Attacked.
No allowance was made for the fact
that the business OF the country was
steadily growing. Mr.. Green said in
his criticism Of the Treasury surplus
estimate. He added that the Budget
Bureau has erred in the estimate by
failure to anticipate large payments
from the sale OF railroad securities
Federal farm loan bonds, custom re-
ceipts increases and foreign debt pay.
ments.
Mr.. Green said the revenue bill
probably Will be the first matter taken
UP by the new Congress. and stressed
that adjustment Of appropriations to
the amount Of revenue which can be
reasonably anticipated should be con-
sidered ''and a deficit by all means
ought to be avoided"
In a statement issued today the
Democratic national committee criti.
cized the Treasury officials reports az
ignoring" the debt reductions effected
by the Wilson administration.

POLICE AID SOUGHT
FOR TRAFFIC PLAN
Cooperation Needed to En-
force Control of Pedestrians,
HarIand Says.

Success Of the proposed plan to
increase the control of pedestrian
traffic at intersections controlled by
lights Or by signal devices operated
by police officers is dependent en-
tirely on the hearty cooperation of
the, Police Department. it was ex-
planned today by Traffic Director
William n. Harland.
Before the Commissioners act on
Mr.. Harlands revised and con-
densed edition of the traffic code,
which contains a number Of new
amendments, the traffic director indi-
Gated that he would confer with Maj
Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent OF
police. with view to working out
plan for enforcing the proposed
regulation designed to tighten the
control over pedestrians.
Police May Be Stationed.
Mr.. Harland believes it might be
necessary when the regulation Is first
put into effect to station police Off
GERS at certain intersections to force
pedestrians to obey the signals
However. he thinks that o majority
Of the pedestrians will cross the
devcie-controlled intersections prop
erly without the presence of a police
officer. as it will be to the interest
of their safety to do so.
The new pedestrian control reeu-
alton which Mr.. Harland has written
into the traffic code Is different from
the one now In force, in that it makes
it unlawful" for pedestrian to
cross an intersection against a stop
signal. The existing regulation
merely forbids pedestrian from
crossing on a stop signal when
traffic is flowing. In other words.
when an intersection is clear of
traffic a pedestrian may cross on a
stop signal.
No Change for Street Cars.
Although Mr.. Harland has sought
in an amendment in his revised book
of the regulations to get control over
street car traffic. an authority grant.
ed the traffic director in the first ses.
sion OF the 69th Congress. he said he
had made no plans at this time for
changing the regulations with respect
to street cars. The street cars, It was
pointed out. have been obeying the
traffic signals voluntarily at points
where they come In contact with
them.
The revised edition of the traffic
regulations, together with the pro-
posed amendments, are not expected
to be considered by the Commissioners
until the return of Proctor L. Dough-
erty, who is in Massachusetts, on
vacation. The Commissioner will re-
turn shortly after Labor day.

DWARF FRUIT TREES

Except in the larger home grounds,
fruit trees will not generally prove
as satisfactory as vegetables and flow
ers. Even a single tree requires con
siderable space. Producing but one
crop a year and then sometimes fail.
ing, the fruit tree is not as economical
a user of the soil as many smaller
plants. The dwarf fruit tree over
comes some of these objections. Such
trees never do grow large, making
possible much closer planting. And in
addition they come into bearing much
younger than standard trees.
Land has always been so compare
lively abundant and reasonable in
price in this country that the dwarf
tree has not reached the popularity
that it has in Europe. Yet it seems
inevitable that these small trees will
constantly gain in favor. The vari-
eticS are sthe same as in the standard,
the difference in size of tree being
obtained by using as a root some
small crab or crahlike form. This
small root system restricts the growth
of the top. There are American nur-
serymen specializing in these small
fruit trees. offering them in favorite
varieties and at a cost not much
greater than regular trees.
The dwarf tree offers the advan-
tage of being much more easily
sprayed and pruned than full sized
trees. This means much to the home
gardener. who is generally limited in
equipment and has to do this work
at odd hours. The individual fruits
borne on the dwarfS are quite as
large as those of normal trees, the
difference being in number rather
than size.
