On Necessary Appropriations,
 Advises Coolidge

Wasigon, Oct. 1o.-fP-The pork barrel" the popular characterization Of federal appropriations for local or sectional projects sponsored each session by members of congress, may be doomed to be empty at the next congress.
 This has been indicated by the views emanating from the White House which represented President Coolidge as seeking both the reduc- ton Of the national public debt and Of taxes and strict adherence Of congress to economy in government administration.
 The president, while he Is repre- sented as feeling the Mississippi flood problem and other related pro- jects must be given a place in the government budget, is understood tu consider that executive approval should be given only to such pro jeCts as are most urgent and where their need~is deemed imperative.
 A program of s4oN.00O,O ,O00 tax rc- duction has been formulated by the United States chamber of commerce and is being distributed 10 its l,500 member organizations for refrron- dunn vote to deternXo it's policy during the congressional delibera- lions on revenue legislation. The program calls for repeal Of the fed cral estate tax and the war excise levies and reduction of the corporate income taxes The government off cials have placed the reduction estimate in the ncighborhood Of $500. .000, ,N00.
 The president is said 10 feel that the greatest boon to the people would he the Wipinc out of the na- tional debt and that if this was ac- complished the interest now paid on the debt would satisfy every reason able request for funds for internal improvements that is made in any on" year.
