licans expect of present tax rates. The Democratic proposal for q $500, 900, 000 tax cut would absorb the larger surplus which they con- fidently expect
 The tendency in any pre-conven- ton congress is to enact only such measures as will rebound to the glory Of the ma jority party and in crease its vote-getting capacity, par ticularly in doubtful states. This means that measures for the bene- fit of states which are eoudly against or solidly for the party in power get little consideration, and are likely to get lost in the shuffle to gain advantage for the party.
 The flooded Mississippi regions are as a whole solidly democratic, Even q magnificent plan to save them from future catastrophes such as they suffered last year would not turn them into the Republican roster.
 Thus political expedIency, the de- mands Of politicians for achieve menfs 10 which they can point with pride" in the campaign, and the fear that the Hoover plan for prevention of floods on the AIissIs- slppi may put him effectively across as the Republican nominee shutting out Dawes, Longworth, Lowdcn. and Hughes. all of whom have their ardent supporters in Congress, may again delay the final and effective solution of the problem Of saving the Mississippi region from rccur- ring disasters.

MONUMENT BUILT
 ID IROQUOIS CHIEF
Indian Council Ground Marked
 With Stone Tablet

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept 15. CUP)- One of the famous old Indiana saChems of Colonial days has been honorcd with monument placed on the site of an old Indian council grounds in Berks county.
 The Indian honored by the tablet and marker is Shekilgmmy, the great Iroquois who came to Penn sylvania as a Niceroy over the con- querod remnants of the Dclawares.
 Shekilammy's memorial Is erected on q stone which legend says was used by the chief as his council seat. The memorial faces the grave of Conrad Weiser, noted Indian inter preter and trader of Colonial days.
 Weiser and Shekillmmy are said 10 have conferred often on the spot where the marker is erected. Ii was largely through the efforts of these two, the one an Indian of royal blood and the other white trader that the IroquoiS arc said 10 have remained loyal 10 the English dur irg the French and Indian wors.
 When he first came to Pennsyl- vania Shekilammy maintained his counsel house for some years at Shamol<in, now the sit of the city of SunDury. Later he moved into Berks country.
 Across the Susqrohanna river from Sudbury huge profile of q man can be seen on the mountain side. This likeness which is Nisibl" from the Susquchanna trail is known as "Shekilammy's profile."

Opposition to the registration of the mark was interposed by the Nashua Mfg. Co. Of Nashau. N. H., which company for the past 75 years has used the head and shoulders of all Indian with the words Indian Head" thereaboye as trademark for bleached and unblcached sheet ing and shirtings and tEe like, and First Assistant Commissioner Kin nan ruled to permit the Middletown concern to use its proposed trade mark would result in interference.
 The decision pointed out that the Palmer Co. did not enter the field until eight years ago whereas the Nashua firm has been engaged in the manufacture of cloth for at least three quarters of a century The manufacturers of both concerns possess the same descriptive proper ties the decision stated
 Tn the instant case" the decision stated, the opposer, through it's predecessor in business, appears to nave been the NrSt 10 Use the pie torial representation of an Indian head upon any goods of this general class and also to use the words In dian Head without the pictorial representation. Under these condi- tiOns, il would seem the opposer should be given reasonably broad protection as to it's mark and those at all similar thereto upon goods possessing in any way similar de- scriptive properties, and that doubts should be resolved against the party later to enter the field. Under these conditions. it is believed the appli- cant company should have adopted mark differing more radically or 10 a greater extent from that of the opposer."
 Commissioner Kinnan noted that the use by the Middletown firm of its contemplated trademark would lead the public to refer to its products as Indian head goods resulting in interference with the products of the Nashua company.

POLITICAL ISSUES
 BAR FLOOD RELIEF
Opposition to Hoover May Block Mississippi Valley Measure
BY GEORGE II. MANNING


 tCopyri ght. Ib-,, General Press Assel
 Washington, p, C. Sept, I5-Op- ponents Of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover as the republican nominee for president in 1928 may succeed, by political maneuNering. in preventing the adoption of plans for permanent Mississippi flood re- lief in the next congress.
 If President Coolidge were the obvious noninea Of rhe republican party, Secretary Hooycrs plans for what he terms "the bollcst cugi- necring plan o-er attempted in thu world would probably be speedily adopted by congress with the mui- mum of political Instructions,
 There would be no political req son for not adopting if, IL would be an ahuinistE1,ion plan, present ed by a cabinet member. + has the approval of the south which has acclaimed Hoover as its hero.
 But now Secretary Hoover ap- parently is the strongest man avail able 10 succeed President Coolidge. Any proposal he makes will be in- volved in politics. Both the senate and the house of representatives in the roth congress will be presided over by rivals Of Secretary Hoover for the republican nomination. Vice President Charles C., Dawes and Speaker Nicholas Longworth.
 Thus any plan for flood relief bearing the Hoour trade mark is certain to meet opposition from purely political motives. both among the republicans and the democrats. Democratic aspirarlts or other dem- ocrats seeking political advantage may put forward a plan in opposi- tion to the Hoover plan in order to gain whatever credit is due for Mississippi flood relief. They know that Hoover stands higher in the south than any other man the re- publicans could nominate. While there Is hardly any chance that any southern state may shift to the re- publican ranks in 1928, there are some douhtful states along the bor- der which might go for Hoover if he is the nominee Of the republi- ra.ns.
 For these reasons, Mississippi flood relief may be teopardized by political mAneuvering to prevent any measure that would strengthen Secretary Ho1ver's prospects for the nomination.

JaN Rcduction prnmiscd

The money required for flood re- lief and Tor the initiation Of en- glneering schemes 10 prevent fu- ture floods will be an important factor, The republicans have prac- tIcally promised a tax reduction, and, in view Of the 1928 prcsiden. tial elections, are quite likely at least 10 reduce the corporation in come and profits tax. This will cut severely into any plans for large expenditures of money or engineer ing projects.
 The democrats, who with the in
 sugents will practically control the senate, will doubtless make an ef
 tort to force still greater tax re-
 ductlon, as their leaders have all ready indicated, lt would be great
 ly 10 their advantage to be able to tell the public in 1928 that they forced a lowering of taxes, over the protests of republicans.
 This years treasury surplus of
 S6a5,Ho9,97t.70 has already been
 applied to the retirement of the
 public debt. A surplus of at least
 s&Gnooo,o0o is expected for the
 fiscal year ending June 30. 1928.
 | nder-Secretary of the Treasury
 Ogden L. Mills declares that most
 Of the 1927 surplus came from
 non-recurring items, such as back taN collections, debts paid to the
 government, ct cetera. and that q surplus of s60o,0oo.ooo cannot be l expected for next year.
 Senator James Couzens of Mich
 lgan believes that it will take at
 least $30o,G0Q.Oo0 to rehabilitate the
 inundated farm lands and provide
 for immediate relief for the suffer
 CTS. This proposed expenditure does not include the imitation of any
 work for flood prevention in the ] future. That would mean that # i might take all the 1928 Treasury surplus for immediate flood relief. How Politicians Minds work i The politicians mind proba bly,
 works something like this "Ta9 rec ! duction will benefit the entire coun- 1 try. Nearly every voter will notice l that, and be grateful for the few 1 dollars or cents saved him. Missis- sippi flood relief will benefit only 1 q few millions in one section. It i will not heln the Republicans, be- ] cause they cant get that part of 1 the country anyhow. Postponement won't do the democrats as a whole much harm, because they can keep ! tho south anyway"
 1t is perhaps this sort Of reason l ing which has created delay of 1 half a century in solving the prob-
 lem of Mississippi floods. Now, ! when the actual beginning of some permanent plan might benefit one particular candidate at the ex- 1 pense of others, it is likely 10 have
 Q more potent effect upon the poli-
 ticians than ever.
 The republican proposal for a tax cut of $3Q0o,o00 would ab- sorb the surplus which the Rcpub-
