PROBLEM is INVOLVED.
Success of Debt Reduction VIII Al
feet Size OF Tax Cut.

The success which has attended the
Governments refunding policy in the
last fortnight and the forecast that
a billion dollars will be cut from the
nublic debt this year may vitality
affect the size of the next tax reduc-
ton.
Until the dramatic example was
given of how a surplus may cut IN
debtedness and indirectly reduce IN
terest charges for the future the
tendency in Washington was to regard
the surplus as logical prey for the ad-
yocates of tax reduction. Politics pre-.
vented a rebate or credit being given
at the last Congress on the surplus
that had accumulated. SO the alterna-
tive was application OF the same funds
to debt retirement The Treasury has
all along been favorable TO this idea
Of using the surplus. but has yielded
TO the clamor for tax reduction. 1av-
ing succeeded beyond its own expec-
tations in driving home the idea of
debt retirement because It strengthens
all Government securities and enables
the Government to borrow at lower
rates of interest, the Treasury will
naturally assume a defensive position
toward those in Congress who would
make a, drastic cut in income taxes
next time.
Politics Complexities Matters.
The sinking fund requirement is
that only $250,000, 900 annually be ap.
piled to debt retirement, but when
the Treasury has been able to cut the
public debt by four times that sum
the disposition will be to Increase the
sinking fund requirement as a means
of preventing too much of a tax cut.
The problem 10 complicated by the
fact that 1928 Is a presidential cam
paign year, and members of Congress
who are up for reelection will wish
to appear before the electorate in the
most favorable light. In order to
! gain the maximum number of votes. a
tax reduction on the smaller incomes
will be an inevitable method of APP
proach The principle involved how
ever. is whether the exempted classes
shall be increased SO that ultimately
only persons of IS 900 a year incomes
or over will be paying Uncle Sans
expenses.
| II is argued that this would be
subject to criticism on the ground of
lunfairness TO the smaller group, and
that 1t would foster the impression
that the people of wealth, by paying
most of the taxes. Will occupy spe
cial status In America. The distribu
ton Of some taxes among the persons
of smaller incomes has been defended
In Congress a. one means Of retaining

Green Invests His
Cash in Open Shop
Real Estate, Claim
By L. P. RINDALL.

LOS ANGELES, California, Oct. 26
President Green of the A. F. of L.,
and Hutcheson of the carpenters, and
some other delegates, it is said, have
invested their hard earned money in
Los Angeles real estate.
Be that as it may, Green surely
would make a splendid real estate
lecturer at the free lunch excursions
for which this burg is famous. Ac-
cording to him, here we have "glor-
ious sunshine and golden sunset. An
atmosphere cooled by the snow-cap-
ped mountains and the ripping
waves of the Pacific"
But regardless of what they may
have done or not done, the fact is
that the real estate fraternity is do
ing business at the old stand.
As in the past, all roads lead to
Los Angeles and for miles they are
decorated, as indeed is the city it.
self, with real estate signs.
And the streets are as abundantly
supplied with buses and autos, cir
culars and maps, statesmen of both
sexes and no sexes, as at any time
before. A lady talking:
Come take trip with us today; it
won't cost you anything; free lunch
served. Come with US; it is the great
est money making opportunity in
