Treasury Prepares 1t Data
for Congress.
! BIZ United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-With
Secretary of Treasury Mellon again
on duty after a vacation, Treasury
employees today began gathering
data for the Administrators use
in its tax reduction recommendation
to Congress this fall.
Officials, however, are in a
quandary on what taxes to cut.
They contend that reduction of
between $100,000,000 and 5000, 100000
is feasible-but no more.
Treasury officials indicate the
country is not quite as prosperous
now as it was a year ago and this
would mean a reduction of revenue
in the face of mounting govern
mental expenses. This, they con-
tend, should be considered in
calculating any tax reduction.
Corporations, they indicated, can
continue paying the corporation tax,
hence a cut along this line is not
favored.

The jolliest kind of Halloween party was celebrated by the wee tots of the primary room yesterday after noon. For days they had planned it and spent happy moments making the decorations. Their room was a gor- geous sight--when they had finished a perfect setting for such an after noon of fun.
 The youngsters arrived at o'clock each in costume. There were gay clowns, Indians, Black cats, Bunnies, Pumpkins, Negros, and Ghosts. It
 was a nice sight to peep in at that
 room of 40 children all bursting with pride and excitement
 ] At 2 D. m. there was a grand parade, jresplendent in all it's glory, thru the other grade rooms.
 After the party proper" Halloween games, apple, popcorn, cake and candy. The primary children agree that Hal loween celebrated this way is most as nice as Christmas.
