TAX CUT FIGHT OFF
FOR WEEK AT LEAST
Democrats Await Expiration of 80
Day Period Under House
Rules to Force Issue.

The Democratic move to force action
on their $685. 900, 900 tax reduction bill
will be initiated some time next week,
Representative Garrett of Tennessee,
minority House leader, said today.
1t had been CARROTS intention to
move to discharge the ways and
means committee from jurisdiction
over the bill today so that it could
be brought to the House floor. House
rules, however, require the lapse of
30 days from the time committee
votes to table measure before a
move to discharge can be made.
Garrett said a recent ruling of the
Speaker interpreted the rule to apply
to legislative days rather than calen.
Oar days and for this reason the
Democrats would postpone their fight
to prevent it from being blocked by
a possible parliamentary maneuver.
The ways and means committee has
voted to table all tax legislation for
the session.

BUDGET AS THRIFT
AID IS ADVOCATED
Speakers Visit Schools and
Other Places With Advice
on Economy Plan.

Today is Budget day in Thrift week.
The maintenance Of budget in ram
lily and business life AS means 10
thrift Is being urged by speakers IN q
series of meetings throughout the day
in the elementary schools. the Parent
Teacher Association Congress. the !.
NJ. c. A. buildings, the Advertisers
Club. the Washington Association or
Credit Men and the Walter Reed Hos
pital.
In statement issued last night.
Robert l.. Father, chairman of the
Budget day committee, offered sug-
gestions for the establishment Of a
budget in the family. Mr.. Flather
suggested the use of an inexpensive
memo booklet in which to record ex-
penditures.
Distribution of Expenses.
Undoubtedly there are many ex-
penditures that recur at regular in
tervals and which cause inconven-
fence" he says. One of the chief
uses of the budget is to remove this
inconvenience by distributing such ex-
penses evenly over the year. List all
such expenses for a year in advance,
divide by the number of pay days, and
YOU will see how much you have to
set aside each pay day to provide for
Them"
Mr.. Father contends that the pur-
pose of keeping budget is more than
the provision of an assurance that
both ends will meet" pointing out
that q survey of the family expenses
will reveal which are necessities and
which are comparative luxuries. Such
an accounting might reveal greater
margin over actual necessities than
had been thought.
Simple budget books re being dis
tributed by all banks in the city today
and for the rest of the week.

Leaders Predict His Defeat.
The prediction was made today by
Republicans in position to know
that Col. Smith would not be permit
ted TO take his seat under the ap-
pointment given by Gov. Small, and
that when he presents himself in the
next Congress to be seated under g.

State committee. His attorneys. c. J.
Doyle and J. G. Condor, also were
with him when he left the station to
go to the Willard Hotel.
Later Col. Smith went to the Cap
ttol and to the Office of Senator
Deneen. Immediately a series of con-
ferences was started. 1t developed
that because of the desire that the
Senate be given an opportunity to
vote today on the Lausanne treaty
with Turkey, and because Col. Smith
desired more time to consult with his
presentation of the credentials would
be postponed until tomorrow.
Col. Smith. wearing a green hat and
styhshly dressed, did not present the
appearance Of a defeated man, by any
means. He is here to fight for his po-
utical life.
Shows No Trace of Illness.

TO his seat in the Senate, and he
means TO have 1t, IL he can. Although

pears to be In good physical condition

statement regarding his case until his
credentials are presented in the Senate
tomorrow. Senator Dineen will make
q carefully prepared. argument II
favor Of the IMMEDIATE seating of Col
Smith.
The Smith supporters are willing Il
have his credentials go to the com
r1ittee after he has been seated anc
