Pointing to the surplus around | $500, ,000.00 which was piled up in tho treasury during the fiscal year ended June 30. some democratic leaders have indicated there would be a fight to make tho total slash at least $50o.000.00o. A larger re- duction was sought by democrats two years ago.
 Senator Smoot of Utah. chairman of the finance committee. says . re- duction in the 13 1-2 per cent cor poration tax to IF per cent will cost the government $150,000. or half of the total cut in taxes he favors.
 He and other republican leaders who have talked out here think the normal income tax rates are about right and they would give relief to income taxpayers now in the class of those with incomes between $15,0o0 and s75.ooo.
 Whether any further reductions will be made on the normal in come tax rates or whether the exemptions of $500 for single persons and $3,500 for married persons will be raised therefore seems to hinge. in the eyes of the administration spokesmen. on whether it will be safe to go above the $350. 0.000,000 total reduction mark now tentative ly set by them.

CORP. TAX SLICE NOW IS PROBABLE
Several Other Forms of ReduC-
 tion Also Considered

Rapid City. s. D., July 2s R-A slash of one or two per cent in the corporation tax seems destined to form the keystone of the prospective tax reduction program. Administration leaders who have conferred here with President Cool idge have put this move down as one of the first to be considered in the tax cutting planned for next session. Some democratic leaders favored such a reduction last session and so concerted action on this point at least, appears probable.
 Other points which seem likely to gain administration favor include re- peal fthe remaining war hui sance" levies, including those on theater admissions and club dues. However, a row is impending on elimination of the automobile pas- senger car tax. Republicans who have come here endorsed a cut in this tax now amounting to three per cent. but none have gone on record for its repeal.
 While no administration plan will be announced until after the presi- dent has conferred with Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee and Secretary Mellon and there may be none even then it has been argued by those who came to the summer White House that the total reduction must be held to s3OO,000,0O0 or $350. 100000.

GOOD CITIZENS
 NEEDED BY GOVT.
Continual Changing of Systems
 Futile, Dr. Garfield Says

Williamstown, Mass, July 2s.-tR International amity and understand ing depend on an enlightened citi- zenry rather than a revised govern ment, Dr. Harry A. Garfield, presi- dent of the institute of politics, de- clared in convoeation speech be- fore the seventh annual session of that body here this afternoon.
 "Why not stop tinkering with the machinery Of government, therefore. Why not let it stand as 1t is?" he queried. Why add commission to commission, and pile office on office when, on the simple device of citizen conferences we may accomplish all that is really desirable"
 Conference, the educational method, is the most potent method the citizen can employ, because it dispels ignorance and drives out fear" he asserted. More is ac- complished by the conference method by mutual exchange of ideas, sitting of evidence, fact-find- ing, and the study of great questions now before the nations of the world than if citizens demoralized parlia- ments or congresses or sought by any other means to bring their tn- fluences to bear on those charged with the responsibility for govern ment."
 Conferences Working
 Six such conferences now exist in America to consider world problems and conditions, Dr. Garfield pointed out. They are institute of Pacific re- lations, which closes it's sessions in Honolulu today: the Institute of Politics in Chicago. now converting; study of international politics now being made at the University of California, a similar study just being completed at the University of Georgia, and a study of economic and social problems at the Univer- sity of Virginia.
 ''None of these institutes Is cloth ed with official power, and each seeks, by the conference methods to understand aims of ambitions the needs and desires of peoples of diff ferent nations" he asserted. Their existence means that groups of peo- pie here and there are convinced that isolation is no longer possible for America.
 "They perceive that 1t is no long CT a question of whether but how, we shall take our place at the coun- cil table of world powers"
 Touching on the added propin- quity between nations since the transatlantic flights, and the corre- spending increase in the necessity of conferences. pr. Garfield warned, however, that "conferences may prove as inimical to society as a con- spiracy.
 Schemers Raped
 Without pointing a finger at any nation-our own or any other-1 dare to say that conferences are now being held which promise anything but fortunate results for the na- tions. Men of good will and high purpose are striving with might and main for that which is good, but their councils are menaced," he said.

 demnd GangSter Walls

Benton. H.. July 2s R-Charles Birger. condemned gang leader. has made his last effort to avoid the hangman in tho county where he was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of Mayor Joe Adams of West City. Ill.
 After hearing himself described by Circuit Judge Miller as man who became intoxicated with the idea that you were more powerful than all the laws of this state and community" Birger, in last effort to maintain his innocence. talked for the first time in open court. finging accusations at Art New man, his former lieutenant.
 The court had finished a lecture to the condemned man after for mally sentencing him to be hanged October IS.
 Your position is unique," Judge Miller told the gangster. You so far forgot yourself as to do many things and then set yourself up su- perior to the law. You surrounded yourself with young men and you were proud of the fact that when you appeared on the scene the clarion blew to announce your ar rival to your lieutenants. You be- came a character in the commun- ity where you lived. The youth of the various counties assembled to watch your dexterity with your pistols.
 You had a glamor about you that youths tried to initiate. You were man of many impulses. Some of them were for the best, but most of them were otherwise. Charley Birger, the law has over taken you, but now you must and should realize that you owe some thing to your children. The only way you can repay for your deeds is by cooperating with the authori- ties and assisting them in clearing up some of the mysteries and crimes of southern Illinois gang warfare"
 Listening attentively while the court addressed him. Birger began with. "I'd like to say few words" He denied he was the leader of a band of gangsters which had car ried on unremitting warfare with the rival Shelton gang.
 T don't want to go down in his- tory as chief" he said. Tt was never in my heart to kill anybody"
 He pointed to a St. Louis report CT and said: There's man that came to my house. Him and New man conspired and condemned me to hang"
 Referring to his former lieuten- clared: "There is the man who is responsible for Mrs. Prices death" Mrs. Price and her husband, Lory Price, state highway patrolman. were both murdered, it was charged by Newman, by members of the Birger gang.
 The gangster finished by stating that he had made a mistake by not leaving the country after the mayor of West City was killed, character izing his failure to leave as the I am going to pay for"
 His only recourse will be to the

T VOW often have you played
- from tee TO green, AL the
time in the rOugh?"
4 4 Not an uncommon sight on
any golf course and not
any unusual experience for the aver
age golfer--and still it is one of the
most absurd things that a golfer
should have happen to him. When it
does happen he has plenty of occasion
to pause and dust off his golf thinking
apparatus, for playing a hole all the
way in the rough, with the attendant
extra strokes involved, indicates
lack of capacity for clear thinking re-
garding the first or at least the sec
ond stroke in the rough.
This gets, of course, to the old rule
that the first consideration when the
ball is in the rough is to get it back
to the fairway. Yet how golfers do
ignore this sound practice! It's a
common sight to see an average play
er who doesn't drive his ball off the
fairway 200 yards one time in ten
tries stand in the rough 275 yards
from the green and shove off with
full intention to make it Figure II.
OF course the ball struggles along
80 or 40 yards and stops again--still
in the rough. Then we see the player
repeat.
How simple the mental process re-
quired to see in the first place that
