WESTERN HEMISPHERE
AIR MAIL.

Private enterprise is showing much
interest in opening up aviation serv-
ice to Mexico and Central and South
America. We are particularly So
licitous TO have the United States
take "A leading part in this develop.
ment. 1t is understood that the gov
ernmentS OF our sister countries
would he willing TO cooperate. Their
physical features. the undeveloped
state of their nsportation. make
an air service especially adaptable to
their usage. The Post Office Depart
ment should he granted power to
make liberal long.term contracts for
carrying our mail, and authority
should he given tn the Army and the
Navy To detail aviatnrs and planes
to cooperate with private enterprise
in establishing such mail service with
the consent of the countries con.
cerned. A committee Of the Cabinet
will later present a report on this
subject.

TAX REDUCTION.

The immediate fruit of economy
and the retirement of the public
debt is tax reduction. The annual
saving in interest between 1928 and
1929 Is S212 900 600. Without this no
bill to relieve the taxpayers would
be worth proposing. The three meas
ures already enacted leave our Gov
eminent revenues where they are not
oppressive. Exemptions have heen in
creased until 1l5.on0 900 people make
but 2,500.0 individual taxable re-
turns. 50 that further reduction
should he mainly for the purpose of
removing inequalities. The Secretary
of the Treasury has recommended A
measure which would give us q much
better balanced system of taxation
and without oppression produce suf
fcient revenue. 1t has my complete
support.
Unforeseen contingencies requiring
money are always arising. Our prob
able surplus for June 30. 1929. is
small. A slight depression In busi-
ness would greatly reduce our rev
enue because Of our present method
of taxation. The people ought to take
no selfish attitude of pressing for re.
moving moderate and fair taxes which
might produce a deficit. We must
keep our budget balanced for each
year. That is the corner stone Of
our national credit. the trifing price
we pay to command the lowest rate
of interest of any great power in the
world. ANY surplus can be applied
to debt reduction, and debt reduction
Is tax reduction. Under the present
circumsta noes 1t would he far better
to leave the rates as they are than
to enact a bill carrying the neril Of
q deficit. This is not 4 problem to
be approached in a narrow or parti.
san spirit. All of those who partici-
pate in finding reasonable solution
will he entitled to participate in any
credit that accrues from 1t without re-
gard to party The Congress has
already demonstrated that tax iegis-
lation can be removed from purely
political consideration into the realm
Of patriotic business principles.
ANY bill for tax reduction should he
written by those who are responsible
for raising. managing and expendine
the finances of the Government. If
special interests. too often selfish, al
WAYS uniformed of the national needs
as a whole. with hired agents using
their proposed beneficiaries as engines
of propaganda, are permitted to infIu-
ence the withdra wal of their property
from taxation. we shall have a law
that is unbalanced and unjust. bad for
business. had for the country. prob
ably resulting in a deficit. with dis.
astrous financial consequences. The
Constitution has given the members
of the Congress sole authority 10 de-
eide what tax measures shall he pre-
sented for approval While welcoming
information from any quarter. the
Congress should continue to exercise
its own Judgment in a matter so vital
and important 10 all the interests of
the country as taxation.

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

The present tariff rates supply the
National Treasury with we'll over
$500 900, 900 of annual revenue. Yet.
about IS per cent Of our imports
come in duty free. OF the rema lining
35 per cent OF imports on which
duties are laid about % per cent con-
sists of luxuries and agricultural
products, and the balance of about
IL per cent, amounting to around
$500 900 900, Is made up of manufac-
lures and merchandise. As no one
is advocati any material reduction
in the rates on agriculture or luXu,
ries, it is only the comparatively
small amount of about $3.50. 900 900 of
other imports that are really consid-
cred in any discussion OF reducing tar
lift rates. While this amount. duty
free. would he large enough to seri-
ously depress many lines of business
in our country, 1t is OF small impor-
tance when spread over the rest OF
the world
1t is often stated that reduction
OF tariff rates on industry would ben.
eft agriculture. 1t would he inter-
esting to know to what commodities
it is thought this could he applied.
Everything the farmer uses in farm.
iEg is already on the free list. Nearly
everything he sells is protected.
1t would seem to be obvious that
it is better for the country to
have the farmer raise food to supply
the domestic manufacturer than the
foreign manufacturer. In one case
our country would have only the
farmer; in the other it would have
the farmer and the manufacturer.
Assuming that Europe would have
more money il it sold us larger
amounts Of mercha ndise it Is not cer-
tain it would consume more food. or,
II 1t did, that its purchases would he
made in this country. Undoubtedly
it would resort to the cheapest mar
ket. which is by no means ours. The
largest and best and most profitable
market for the farmer in the world
Is our own domestic market. Any
great increase in manufactured i'm.
ports means the closing Of our own
plants. Nothing could be worse for
a agriculture.
Probably no one expects mate
rial reduction in the rates on ma nu-
features while maintaining the rates
on agriculture. A material reduction
in either would be disastrous 10 the
farmer. 1t would mean a general
shrinkage of values. dehation OF
prices. a reduction Of wages. gen.
eral depression carrying our people
down to the low standard OF living
i'm our competing countries. 1t is oh.
vious that this would not improve hut
destroy our market for imports
which is best served by maintaining
our present high purchasing power
under which in the past five years i'm.
ports have increased 63 per cent.

COMMERCIAL AVIATION.

A rapid growth Is taking place In
aeronautics. The Department Of Com
merce has charge OF the inspection
and licensing system and the con-
struction Of national airways. Almost
5000 miles are already completed and
about 1000 miles more contemplated
Nearly 4.400 miles are now equipped
and over 5000 miles more will have
lighting and emergency landing fields
by next July. Air mail contracts are
expected to cover "a Of these lines.
Daily airway flying is nearly $4,000
miles and is expected to reach $4,000
miles early next year.
Flights for other purposes exceed
% 900 miles each day. Over 900 air.
ports. completed and uncompleted
have been laid out. The demand for
aircraft has greatly increa sed. The
policy already adopted by the Con.
gress is producing the sound devei
opment Of the coming industry.

is being made in road building. but

very exacting and the financing dif-

with favor on all reasonable loa ms
sought by these countries to open
such main lines Of travel.
This general subject has been pro
NOTED by the Pan American Congress

COAL.

Legislation authorizing a system OF
fuel administration and the appoint
ment by the President Of a Board of
Media ton and Cancellation in case of
actual or threatened interruption OF
production ia needed. The miners
themselves are now seeking informa-
ton and action from the Government,
which could readily be secured
through such a board 1t is believed
that thorough investigation and re-
consideration of this proposed policy
by the Congress will demonstrate
that this recomme ndation is sound
and should be adopted.

AMERICAN INDIAN.

The condition Of the American In.

years. Full citizenship was bestowed
upon them on June 2. 1924, and APP
preparations for their care and adj

there remains much to be done.
Notable increases in appropriations
for the several ma jor functions pei
formed by the Department of the In

general subject is under the imme-
