u. COMMERCE
CHAMBER ASKS
Big TAX SLASH
Iuggests Minimum Of $780,.
100000 Instead of That Pro-
posed by Mellon

Washington, Nov. 1.-(F-With
he recommendation of the treasury
hat tax reduction he held to a
225,OO0,000 maximum before them,
members Of the house ways and
means committee were urged today
by the United States chamber Of
commerce to make a tax slash of
about $4O0,OOO,OOO..
James r. Maccoll, speaking for
the chamber, said that "it is common
knowledge that in recent years the
actual surplus has greatly exceeded
the estimates"
Almost simultaneously with his
appearance on the witness stand
Representative Garner of Texas,
ranking Democrat on the committee.
issued a statement assailing the
treasury for inaccuracy in its fore
casts of SURPRISES and advocating a
reduction of the corporation tax
from Is 1-2 per cent to II or posi-
bly, 10 per cent, instead of the IL
per cent proposed by Secretary Mel
lon.
The Texan said he believed mater
ial reduction of this tax rather than
a revision of surtax rates on incomes
of from $4,000 to 100000 was re-
quired.
Maccoll agreed with James A.
Emery, representing the National
Association Of Manufacturers, that
the corporation tax should be re-
duced. Emery advocated alloting a
major part of the prospective reduc.
ton of corporations while Maccoll
insisted tat the inheritance and re-
manning excise taxes should be re-
pealed. The treasury yesterday also
urged repeal of the estate tax but
opposed elimination of the so-called
nuisance levies.

TROJANS MEET
COLORADO TEAM
AT Los ANGELES
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Nov. a2.-South-
ern California undertook the un-
known job of conquering Colorado
University in an intersectional foot
ball clash at the coliseum here to-
day.
The team from the snow country
rolled into the city by train early
today having loitered along the
way from Denver in order that the
high altitude players might not be
in Los Angeles long enough before
the game to acquire a lethargy.
Colorado engaged in a brisk prac-
tice yesterday at Flagstaff, Ariz.
The Colorado outfit will probably
be outweighed, and it is expected
that a forward passing attack will
constitute the main threat at the Tro-
jams security.
Two Smith boys in the visiting
backfield are reputed as the leading
lights in Colorado s offensive.
Coach Howard Jones has annonnc-
ed that Captain Drury will start at
quarterback, Thomas and Saunders
at the halves, and Moses at fullback
in place of the injured Edelson.
It is practically certain that Don
Williams viii enter the fray at the
quarterback post about the end of
the first half In this event, Jones
may shift Drury to fullback for a
while in order to see what combin-
alton works to the best effect as
physicians are pcssimistic regarding
Edelson s return this season.

as neither Central nor HoltVille had
been beaten before in the season,
An unusually largo crowd was pres

with good clean playing.
