Haysi defeated Clinchco a.
gain Sunday by a score of Z to
5, making their second straight
victory taken from the Clinch-
co boys, and their sixth vic
tory in the County League
Fuller was on the mound for
Haysi and pitched fine ball, St
ruck out 9 and allowed only 6
hits while O. Henry gave up to
z runs and 10 hits. Just word
about a decision given by Jump

the one-sided game. The score
stood at Z to 3 in the ninth in

called the runner safe, there

in two scores.

Garner Wants Tax Cut

CONGRESSMAN John n. Garner will again lead the
democrats in the national house Of representatives IN
the battle that will be waged for tax reduction
Garner takes the stand that a total tax reduction
of $500 600 600. or perhaps S50O,0O0,000, could be made
without impairing the various activities Of government
The Treasury Department will agree with Mr.. Garner
that reduction is necessary. but will insist that u
should not exceed S2oo'0oo.oGo.
The reduction plan that will be advanced by the
Texas congressman is substantially the same as he ad-
yocated during the last session, s cut in the corpora
tion levy from Is 12 per cent to II per cent, ana pos
sibly to 10 per cent; repeal Of the remaining nuisance
and excise duties, including those on automobiles, the
alter admissions, club dues and produce, and the reten-
tion Of the estate or inheritance tax.
Additional relief for the smaller corporations Is
.,so CONTEMPLATED in the tax bill Congressman Gar
ner IA now drafting, and it is probable that ne wlI
-..ormend revision OF the individual income tax rates,
though no definite announcement relative to this fea-
ture Of the democratic bill has been made.
The issue between the democratic leader and the
Treasury Department was clearly drawn when MI.
Gamer served notice he would not vote for a bill pro-
y;sinp a slash in the corporation levy applying on 1921
Incomes on which taxes are payable next year. Ihis
rian had been advocated by Chairman Smoot OF the
ssn.,e finance committee. Mr.. Garner voiced his
.htsc,ion "a the plan upon the basis that il would viz
,pallv give the corporations a present OF what they
h.S already collected from the public for the purpose
~ meeting this tax. A reduction next year, however,
would be passed on TO the public, the Texas representa-
tive believes.
washington rumors are to the effect that the Gar
a. measure will not encounter the same degree Of
nrr.sition that il met during the last session. Repub-
,,.rr leaders will not so vigorously oppose tax redue-
81, "a they realize that IL will provide considerable
.nmuaition for their presidential campaign. There
- also been a growing opinion among the rank and
,;e Of the party that the heavy taxes which have Gre
at.a : large surplus have . tendency 70 promote ex-
~-.u.rea IN governmental activities. and that with a
ia~ve surplus available the appropriations will be too
generous.
The heavy burden placed upon all industries by
a.. h..vv federal tax has proved a deterrent to in
sustrial expansion. This has been very. evident during
che mast year in which industries returning moderate
profits to the stockholders have receded instead q ad-
.,rcinr. finaneiers asserting that the margin required
,o meet the heavy government tax having proved suf-
fieient to inaug1rats this retrogression. This has been
.speciaily noticeable in connection with industries al
Lad with agriculture. and tax reduction proposed by
Mr. Garner is expected 70 improve this condition and
Id sufficient to the margin Of profit TO warrant fur
ther expansion.

Other Papers

Houston Post-D ispatch)

A proposal that the American Bankers association,
now meeting in annual convention at Houston, interest
itself actively in the question Of agricultural ills and
farm relief has been advanced by George W. Donaghey
Of the Federal Bank and Trust company Of Little Rock,
ArS- Mr.. Donaghey calls attention to the fact that
many persons prominent in the Nations political life
are attending the convention, and a number Of farm
experts are present. He has requested that a discus
sion Of farm relief be included in the program.
Surely no other great division Of business effort
is more closely dependent upon agricultural ~wellbeiEg
than is the banking business. Hundreds Of banks in
rural sections have been forced to the wall during re-
cent years as a direct result Of demoralized conditions
on the farms. And the banking houses in the cities
in Houston, even in New York-distinctly feel the ef-
fects Of good times on the farms and the contrary in
fluences Of farm poverty and retrogression.
The enactment of unsound or fundamentally de-
fective measures looking to farm relief through politi-
cal channels probably would handicap a large percent
age OF the banks of the United States, either directly
or indirectly. In the absence Of q sound and construc-
tive program, there is great danger that radical farm
relief legislation will be enacted during the next two
years
Bankers perhaps hesitate TO take vigorous action
on the farm relief issue. realizing that it is largely
political, whereas it should be entirely economic.
At the same time, they are peculiarly well quail
fled 10 pass upon the merits Of the various proposals
for r~emedying farm ills. And regardless OF its politi.
cal angles, the farm relief problem is essentially one
for the ~finarcier to solve. There has been q deluee
Of talk regarding the McNary-Haugen bi!lsa flood Of
predictions as to its probable effect once it were put
in operation. Most Of the talk. most Of the predictions
emanated from individuals and groups having only cas-
usl knowledge of finance and the working of economic
laws.
Should the bankers association at the present
meeting appoint an able COMMITTEES to go into the
problem Of farm depression in all its notifications, in
GLIDING crop surpluses and prices. the report and
recommendation of the committee would be awaited
with interest.
Within the ranks Of the bankers association is
plainly Of talent TO formulate a farm relief program
meeting three essential requirements: First, that il
be economically workable; second, that it conform to
the United States Constitution and refrain from con-
ferring q blanket taxing power upon a Federally sr-
pointed board; and, third, that it offer promise Of
genuine relief to the farmer without d~isruptiug the
nations economic life generally.
What more constructive work could the bankers
association undertake than to lend friendly, expert aid
toward the lettering Of the farmers status?

Washington Letter
BY CHARLES r. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. - The
VESTS q good deal sorer and mad
der than the political bosses real
lied until just now. The fact is, the
bosses don't know as much about the
country as they flatter themselves
they 90.
The big ones are ~down-easters,
anyway.
Occasionally one Of them makes a
flying trip west, or even stays
awhile, like President Coolidge. The
folks h~ospitable. and the tourists
come back convinced everything's
lovely.
1t isn't, necessarily. PoIiteness to
company may be only skin deep.
Western s~ab-bosses draft into
Washington, with ominous reports.
The su~per-bosses don't take them
very seriously. They prefer not TO,
for n thing. For another, the SIT
uation right around them looks Sc
rene enough. They think the sub
bosses are mere alarmists.
But when the big bosses finally do
get scared. they get scared all
through. They're getting thoroughly
scared row..
That is to say. the "ins" are get
ting scared.
The "outs' are half scared and
half hopeful.
If the west" turns hostile and
msssacres the Gins" - why, that's
great, as far as it goes; so reason
the "outs." But suppose, once being
in the mood. they turn around then
ard scalp the "outs," too? The
outs" big bosses aren't quite pre-
pared to congratulate themselves
prematurely, until they know more
about that.
War whoops have been heard from
cut in the direction Of the corn belt
for quite a while, but the "ins'" big
bosses said: "lt's the same bunch Of
renegades who acted So ugly four
years ago. They took it out in moth
ing but ~whooping then. That's as
far as they're likely 70 get with it
this time"
Or, to quote the "outs": "They
didn't help us a bit in 1924. No use
in counting on EN- next year"
It's hardly two weeks since both
sides were talking that way. Today
that's what looks like an excellent
prospect that the whole tribe will
jump the reservation. It's no longer
. matter Of mere chronic bad actors.
Plenty OF pretty respectable chief

tains-senators and others whom the
eastern bosses wouldn's have thought
II Of are putting on paint and
feathers.
What particularly worries the
"ins'" bosses is that this thing ap-
pears to have started itself, so to
speak.
The movement Of 1924 was essen
tally a one-nan affair. It's leader,
the late Senator La Toilette, had to
drag Il along after MIN. You couldn't
cali an uprising OF that kind very en-
t~husiastic. Outside Wisconsin, per-
hapF, its time simply hadn't come.
That was about the size Of it.
This outburst locks spontaneous,
which is dangerous.
Is it the beginning Of a real west
ern revolt: That's what the leaders
would like TO know.
In the back of their minds, they're
as well aware as anybody that the
regular old-line parties have ceased
TO mean anything. On the strict
"a. t." they're afraid as death OF a
realignment, because a realignment
naturally would mean a terrific
shakeup will 10 to leaderships.
And that, in turn, explains why
the outs" bosses are about as
skeery Of the VESTS" behavior as
the "ins'" leaders are. Momentarily
a split in the "ins'" ranks might
benefit the outs" but afterward ?
That's the question.

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
By Charles p. Driscoll

Frank Crane is an attendant at the parcel checking
room in the Pennsylvania Station. Undoubtedly he has
checked s~uiteases and bags for many of my readers.
He is a short, black-haired. jolly fellow, with a serious
appearance. He looks not unlike his distinguished
namesake, the writing minister.
Mr.. Crane has told me several interesting tales Of
customers who patronize his parcel room, but l think
the most amusing is that Of a suburbanite who recently
checked a large bag Of tomatoes.
Suburbanites frequently check their parcels at the
station while enduring long waits for trains, so that
they may be free TO 60 up to the street and do some
more shopping. Then they forget their parcels when
they get back to the concourse just in time to catch
their train. The parcels remain safely slowed away in
the parcel room until the commuter happens to think of
them, often many days later.
The man with the bag Of tomatoes was one Of those
absent-minded fellows. He had several parcels. and
said nothing about the nature Of any Of them when he
handed them over the counter to Crane.
Ten days later the commuter returned to claim his
parcels. The tomatoes had become quite soggy, and
had spilled all over two other parcels, fortunately the
property of the same customer.
The man was furious. This is a great way to take
care Of my parcels!" he shouted. you let my to-
matoes spoil, and then they spoil my wifes new quilt.
I've got a notion to sue you for damagesI"
The genial Crane was nonplussed. He felt like
throwing the tomatoes in the customers face, but re-
Trained. Instead, he inquired, very politely, ~oh, did
Mt ] tell you that our refrigerator is out of order?"
The enraged customer suffered a little. gathered
up his parcels, including the bag Of tomatoes, and
strobe away.
Hundreds Of violins, saxophones, drums and other
musical instruments are checked every night. after
the shows. at the parcel room in the basement Of the
Times building, and in other midtown checking sta
lions. Musicians do not want to carry the bulky cases
all the way to their homes, which may Be at some dis
lance from the city, and it cost only q dime q day to
let the checker worry about the safety Of the music
makers.
