the burden Of taxation caused by war
conditions may be restored to peace
time levels as rapidly as it is possible
and is consistent with the Govern

The new plane gives the impression

In anticipation of the first session
of the Seventeen Congress the sub
iect of tax reduction has come to the
front as second only to the next presi-

Practically everybody, all parties

TINT of 1t is the point on which there

member organizations and business
generally recommends a cut of $780,

with a mo-" from Mr.. Coolidge with
stressing of the need of assistance in
keeping down the demands for appro.

the flood victims of the South, prob.
ably will ask more than the surplus,

the farming community of the West
and Northwest, will demand all it can
get and probably more too.
Proud of his record of having re.
duced the national debt by S5,000,-

devote part of the surplus at least
to the reduction process, but not at
