TAX REDUC7|ON|S
 AIM OF CONGRESS
Treasury Officials Carefully
 Study Situation

Washington. Sept. t3 tP-TaX re- vision, one Of the major problems for the new congress. is being care fully studied by treasury officials but they said today that so many changing factors would enter into the equation before congress meets in December that they had not yet formulated any definite program,
 Easing their estimates upon fig ures thus far available these ot1l- cials do not expect the treasury to have this fiscal year anything like the half billion dollar surplus which II had last year and which was ap- piled 10 retirement of that much of the public debt. Some do not antlci- pate surplus in excess Of $309,0Oo,- GOO.
 Tn this connection, attention is called that much Of the surplus Of the past years has been made Up from back tax payments, liquidation of loans to the railroads and the sale oi surplus war materials. These sources Of extra revenue are rapidly drying up, IL IS asserted, and the government must look almost en- tirely to current receipts to meet current expenses.
 Under the revenue laws in force during the past few years, fedora n come has not yet kept pace with the actual cost Of government and the gulf between the two IS expected to be widened by the increased costs of annual governmental operation during the next few years If con gress meets the demands for inter nal improvements, naval expansion and farm relief.
 In the informal discussions which have proceeded thus far on the suh- feet Of tax revision, surtax rates, SO called luxury of attention. Some re luction of the surtaX rates may be proposed, although these rates were rlsrply reduced by the 1925 act Under that reduction income taxes actually have increased and 1t i' -ontended that with q further re- iuction more money will be taken put of frozen" securities and put Into productive enterprise with ths result that there will be more tax able income.
 Income from admission taxes has fallen to around fifteen million dol lars and there is an apparent h. creasing sentiment for their repeal largely upon the ground that theff Is an evasion of the tax 10 the detrl' ment of the treasury, but with cos' 10 the patrons of amusement places
 With the corporations generally enjoying perhaps the greatest pros psrity in many years the arRumen has been advanced that the tax ol them should not be disturbed at thu time.

FACILITIES FOR

Practically any town of any size in
the United States periodically reads
an item like this about itself: "Tele-
phone company to enlarge It's factil-
tiles here to care for future growth
Of the community"
No village IL too small to interest
the telephone company, whose aim It
is to anticipate the telephone needs Of
every community and rural district,
1t Is this desire to extend its serv-
ice to the farthest corners Of the
nation and into the smallest homes.
which has given the United States a
telephone service which is so far be-
yond that enjoyed by any other nation
that comparisons are impossible. The
telephone, in America, is not confined
to government uses, to the aristocracy
or to the official class.
No industry is more representative
Of democracy than the telephone; 1t
serves all on the same basis and with
the same courtesy. No other industry
has a greater distribution of Its stocks
and bonds among it's employees and the
people of the nation.-The Manufac-

You boast about your libraries,

You read book just one time through

Yes, I'm willing to admit it,
For I'm not a bit stuck up,
'Longside of Burns and Shakespeare
I'm just mongrel pup;

But what's printed ON my pages
Everyone can understand.

HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT
DUPLICATED HERE
Principals Arrested When
Demonstration Turns TO Fight

Joseph McDermott, aged %, of
325 Main street, and John Golobak,
aged %. of 81 Erwin Place, are
good friends" but they faced Judge
Roche in police court this morning
on the charge of assaulting each
though the fact did not come out in
the testimony, it was learned that
the cause of their arraignment was
the Dempsey Sharkey fight.
About 9 o'clock last evening, Jo-
seph and John were discussing the
recent heavyweight bout. and each
had his opinion as to whether
Dempsey won by fouling Sharkey.
The fact that considerable liquor
had been imbibed in, according to
their plea of guilty, did not help
at all to settle the question verbally,
SO the pair repaired to the old Bur-
rift school yard at Main and East
Main streets for a friendl demon
stration of the various punches
used in the Yankee Stadium spec
tacle.
A crowd estimated at more than
200 was attracted and for several
minutes McDermott Tented, shifted.
blocked and ducked, while Golobak
spared and Unanswered in true
pugilistic style. Naturally, this
friendly display of the manly art
could not continue indefinitely, and
in short order, stiff punches We're
being put across. Golobak, who has
a reach longer than his police court
record (and the latter is not at all
dwarfed) poked McDermott under
the left eye and the optic began to
close. Head down, McDermott bored
in, playing for the body as did
Dempsey, but Golobak floored him,
and, it is said, kicked him.
Officer James Sullivan testified to
making the arrests and Golobak and
McDermott had nothing to say ex-
cept to ask for probation. McDer-
mott said he had not been drinking
for three months until yesterday
and Golobak said he has been
working steadily for construction
concern. He had a day off yester-
day and observed it by drinking.
Judge Roche imposed fine of
SIS and costs in each case and al
lowed the young men probation to
make payment.
David Gorfain, aged A, Of 81
Walnut street, charged with speed
ing by Officer William O'Day,
pleaded not guilty and had his case
continued until next Tuesday morn
ing.
