Calls Upon Congress For
This Relief, Claiming It

WASHINGTON Nov, % lPl-Stand-
inc pat On its demand for a $40o,-
100000 tax reduction, despite the
treasury view chat it should not
exceed 1925, 100000, and the house
ways and means committee decision
to recommend reductions aggregating
$236, ,O0p 900, the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States announced
today that it's membership in a
referendum just completed had APP
proved the revenue program of its
committee OH federal taxation In
the largest ballot by its member
organizations ever recorded. the
chamber reported that 81 per cent
OF the vote was in the affirmative.
The chamber OF commerce an
nouncenlent said that action on the
part of the membership committed
the organization to advocate at the
coming session of congress the enact
ment of tax bill carrying into
effect the following program:
Reductions and repealS estimated
to amount to $4O0,0o0,0O0 in the first
full year after the changes are made.
Reduction Of the corporation in
come tax from 13 1-2 per cent to
not more than 10 per cent, with the
reduction applicable to net income
Of 1927.
Repeal of the remaining war excise
taxes levied on particular businesses.
Repeal of the federal state tax,
Provision by congress OF tull op-
portunity for the joint congressional
tax committee to perfect proposals
for revision of federal tax laws and
their administration.
with respect to the suggestion that
the taxes be cut $400,000,000, half OF
it to apply to the present fiscal
year" the chambers statement said,
.'this recommendation was arrived at
after study OF the governments fiscal
situation by an eminent committee of
business men.
Large yearly treasury surpluses
show plainly that the government
is taking more tax money from the
public than is necessary to run the
government and retire the public debt
as already provided for by law. The
surplus for the year 1927 was more
than $685., 100000. SURPRISES for other
years have been: For 1924 S505 1885,
0GO: for 1925, $25o,505 900; for 1926
$377, ,767 900
Already a surplus for the current
fiscal year amounting to $455 100000
is in prospect, and on the basis OF
continuation of the policy of
economy, of reasonable estimates OF
business stability as well as probable
revenues, a sufficient surplus is to
be expected for. 1929.
Thus, while no deficit is antici-
pated should these reductions be
made effective, it is obvious that in
view of the credit standing of the
government and the low interest rates
lit can obtain, there would be no
great cause for alarm even though
deficit, through unexpected deyel-
opments, should arise"
Declaring that prospective sur
pluses in The treasury encourage ex-
travaeant appropriations the cham
her of commerce held to the view
that congress would hesitate tc
launch expensive new enterprises il
to do so would produce treasury

Neighboring Mining Camps Rush Help to Scene
For Rescue Work.

SUPERIOR, Ariz, Nov. "a, 0P-
Two charred bodies were recovered
and rescue crew were searching the
smouldering ruins of the 225O foot
level of the Magma Copper COM
pany's mine here late tonight for
five other workmen who were trap
ped in a fire that swept the main
shaft.
The dead are:
Juan Branbila and John Mcmahon.
The missing are:
zeno Daley, Indian.
Sam Maxi.
A. Rintla.
r. Rodriguez, Mexican.
E. Olmas, Mexican.
The fire started shortly after 4
q. M, in shaft No. g. which was not
in use. The origin of the fire was
unknown. 1t quickly spread to the
main shaft and within few minutes
the tiEnbered section below the 500
foot level was a roaring furnace.
Rescue crews were swiftly mobil-
ized and every available man in Su-
perior joined in the rescue of .49
men who were on shift at the time.
Forty two of them escaped unin
jured
z. Daley, the Indian listed as
missing, was the hero Oh the disaster.
According to reports after safely
reaching the surface, he joined one
of the rescue crews which were
working in relays and returned to the
fire area He is reported to have
become lost shortly afterward.
After efforts of fire fighters who
were augmented by crews from the
Globe and Miami mining districts
to check the fire proved unavailing,
officials of the Magma Copper com
pany ordered the Shaft flooded at
late hour tonight. Orr Woodburn,
directed the, Globe Miami rescuers.
Seventeen helmet men were at work
assisted by 80 other men from near
by towns.
title hope for the safety of the
five men who are still in the mine
was held by officials. Dense clouds
of smoke and gas were pouring from
the shaft at times but William Con-
nor, general manager of the Copper
company announced that the blaze
had been under control this after
noon.
Members of the rescue crew who
brought the bodies of Rranibla and
Mcmahon to the surface, said that the
smoke and gas prevented them from
proceeding further into the main
shaft.
It is possible that the five missing
men may have gone far back into
the mine when they found them
selves cut off by the fire.
