tax reduction. He declared that he
would like TO see the wartime taxes
wiped out entirely. Contending that 1t
is high time that the Federal Govern
ment got back to normal in the mat
ter of taxing the public. In his oplh'
ion, there is no excuse or need At
this time for large Treasury sur
pluses. He looks upon these SURPRISES
as the results of the Federal Govern
ment bleeding the public, and he be
lieves the time has come when Con
gress should take steps to put a stop
to SURPRISES and decide definitely upon
n program for liquidatinS the national
debt.
Senator Simmons does not agree
with President Coolidge that there is
any urgent haste in reducing the debt
as soon as possible He favors letting
the debt be reduced gradually, with Il
view to its complete removal within a
period Of about Is years. He pointed
out that the states of the Union have
been forced to lay large and heavy
taxes to meet conditions growing out
of the World War and the recOnstruc-
ton period and that the Federal Gov
eminent should as quickly Is possible
lift its portion of the tax burden from
the people.
Party Lines Form.
A rallying cry calling Republicans
to defense of the s2o5 100000 maxi
mum tax cut recommended by the
Treasury has come from President
Coolidge as the Senate is forming on
strictly party lines to consider the
$3.50, 900 900 reduction bill handed it
by the House.
The President feels that the cut
voted by the House, where the Demo
Gratis and q handful Of Republicans
had their way with the measure, is
extraVagant in the light of the Treas
ury's condition. lie confidently ex-
poets that when the bill reaches his
desk for signature or veto it's reduc-
ton total will lie that originally pro-
posed by Secretary Mellon-$225, 000.-
600 In this view he is supported by
Chairman Smoot OF the Senate finance
committee, which will begin work on
the measure after the holidays.
Another Democratic View came
from Representative Oldfield o. Ar
kansas, chairman of the DemocI ate
congressional campaign commit1 20,
who saw i'm the success of the House
Democrats in materially revising the
bill a lesson to be learned by the party
throughout the country.
Scoffing at suggestions brought yes
terday from the White House by
Representative TilsOn of Connecticut,
the Republican floor leader, and
others, that the President might veto
the measure unless its total is cut
down, Mr.. Oldfield remarked:
"How he could justify such veto
when we are annually collecting hun
dreds of millions of dollars from the
taxpayers more than is needed Tor
Government expenses / cannot see.
The House bill is fair and just bill.
but will leave the Government with
ample money to provide for food re-
lief and other much needed pur-
poses"

Southern Pacific
Has Fine Record

A report covering fatalities for
the last six years on the Southern
Pacific railways was received by
W =. Frizzell, local freight and
passenger agent, this morning, and
shows that in 1926 an excellent re-
cord in safety was compiled. The
report reads as follows:
In the prevention of accidents,
the Southern Pacific made the best
record for safety in 1926 ever at
tanned.
"For the seventh consecutive
year no fatality occurred to passen-
gers in steam train accidents. More
than 800, 100000 passengers were
transported during this period, Gov
ering total Iil"agc of more than
eleven billion miles.
"CaSualties to eInploves in train
service by accidents in 1926, includ-
ing casualties to employees i'll all
branches Of the service was 9.9S
per million locomotive miles. This
comparcs with 1893 in 1913 and
ll.Gl for 1926. In 1926 for each
casualty resulting a train was ran
n distance equivalent to nearly
three times around the world.
