.S2S,O]O,0[O TAX
CUT BILL IS READY.
New Measure May Be Intro
1 duced in House Monday.
Minor Changes Likely.

The new tax-reduction Measure
with administration mandate that it
must be kept within $225 900 600 re-
duction-is ready for introduction as
soon as the House organizes. if pos
sible. on Monday. A few minor
changes were agreed upon today be-
fore the ways and means committee
gave final approval to the measure.
The major provisions call for
per c. reduction in the sales tax
rate OH corporation incomes. 50 ner
cent cut in the sales tax rate on au-
tomohiles and in the levy on club
dues. an increase from IS cents to 81
in the exemption allowed corporations
with incomes Of $4,000 or less. The
measure az a whole called for a total
tax reduction of $3.50 100000. figure
$1,000, 900 greater than the maximum
proposed by the administration.
Replies to Garner.
Sharp issue was taken yesterday
b. Chairman Green Of the ways ana
means committee TO a recent state
ment by Representative Garner of
Texas. the ranking Democrat on the
committee. attacking the committees
p]an to make the proposed reduction
in the tax rates on corporation IN
comes apply to payments due next
March.
Mr.. Garner contends the reduction
should not apply until 1929 tax pay
ments. arguing that corporations al
ready have passed the tax on to the
consumer.
Chairman Green. however. said
that inasmuch as the tax falls upon
the stockholders it cannot be
passed on.
There are a large number of cor
porations, perhaps the greater OF
them," Mr.. Green continued, that
every one knows cannot pass on the
tax.
Economists generally agree that
the tax cannot be passed on except
by a monoplane. and that, other than
in exceptional cases, corporations sell
for the highest price consistent with
the broadest market they can obtain.
This question has recently been in
vestigated by an English commission
which accords with the view just
stated.
THE National Industrial Conference
Board some years ago, in one of its
reports, made a substantially similar
statement. 1t has been making a
more elaborate investigation after
being furnished with the returns of
several thousand corporations by the
Treasury, and, while its report has not
yet been published, my understanding
Is that it has come again to the same
conclusion.
Report ON Incomes.
''If corporations could fix a price
to suit themselves there would be no
occasion for any of them losing
money, but the returns show that Al
per cent of the corporations in 1925
actually operated at a loss and that
an additional 81 per cent made profits
of less than s25, 900. The fact is that
a very considerable portion. of the
sales by manufacturing companies are
made at loss and a still larger pro-
portion is made at no profit or at
small profit ratio and that the trend
of profits follows the trend in prices,
all of which will more fully appear
from an examination of these COM
missions"

Due, however, to the fact that Con-
gress will be in session and other
considera tions making his presence
in Washington advisable, his stay az
Havana is to be comparatively brief.

day before his speech is scheduled
to be made and leave shortly after
it has been delivered. The congress
will open January 16.
Although it had been known for
some time that the President looked

Mr.. Coolidge has received numerous
invitations to stop off at points in the
South, but it is anticipated that his
desire to be away from the Capital

vent his acceding 1t is probable that
his special train will make no stops
other than those made necessary by

gested, however. that the Journeys to
and from Key West be made by diff
ferent routes, so that he may see as
much of the South as possible, a Sec

no opportunity of visiting since en-

InconspicuousIy.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. December 3-The man
ner in which Federal padlocks have
been applied by agents charged with
that duty was being scrutinized to-
day.
Although the law requires that no.
tice of padlocking be posted in plain
view of persons passing padlocked
premises, the investigators are re-
ported to have found instances where
the notices were stuck on the backs
of calendars, at the bottom of slot
machine and even in closets.
A suggestion that Federal agents
have learned of payments by prop
erty owners to padlocking agents in
return for posting the notices in out
of-the-way places is contained in
news story appearing in today's
Tribune.
Federal Probe Denied.
George E. @. Johnson, United

prohibition department in Chicago is
being built up and that the public
might expect good results from
future liquor prosecutions.

COURT OF HONOR
is BEING BUILT
BY BOY SCOUTS

The work of building a platform
and clearing the ground around the
platform of all rocks and rubbage
at the future site at the Twin Buttes
chosen for the holding of the annual
Boy Scout Court of Honor is pro-
crossing rapidly.
This work is being done by Doug
las and Bisbee scouts, each group
averaging about two days of work
each week Two of the rock walls Of
the platform have been finished.
These walls, when four haves been
built, will, be filled in owith other
rocks and t'>2 whole covered with
dirt, thus providing substantial
platform or stage, which will be Is
feet wide and 80 feet long.
The new site is on the same site
at the Twin Buttes as before but on
a different face, according to Scout
Executive Bartlett. 1t is on the side
facing the Douglas -Bisbee highway
north butte-and it is believed that
when the platform near the base
OF the hill is completed, an ampi-
theater effect may be obtained if the
spectators are seated upon the hill
side rising above the platform. The
committee which selected the new
site was comprised of Caleb Rice,
of Douglas, Chairman; E. j. Hulk
table, of Douglas, and F.. S. Daven-
port and Dr. N. G. BledSoe, both
OF whom are Bisbee residents.
e The annual court of honor will
be held at the new site, probably
IN October or November of this year.
The preliminary court of honor for
the Douglas district was held about
a week ago, at which time the five
scouts appeared and proved that
they had good knowledge of the
qualifications and requirements for
the various merit badges which they
were supposed to have passed.
E.. j. Huxtable is chairman of the
Douglas district court of honor. Eight
or nine boys are to appaer in the
Bisbee district court at some time
III the near future.
The district courts are in actuality
boards Of examiners which ascertain
whether or not a scout is deserving
Of receiving certain merit badges,
while the county court of honor is
a council composed of chosen scout
leaders or sponsors who give with
lifting ceremonies the awards.
