Opposed to Creating Deficit.

Our concern is for the future. The
ma jority of the committee are OPP
posed to any plan that would pro-
duce deficit.
an this connection it should be
noted that the estimates of sur
pluses for future years. on the basis
of the present law. takes no account
of expenditures which may be made
in the future. but which are above
the sums appropriated in recent
years. such as those for flood con-
troll. agricultural relief, additions to
the Navy. public buildings. Boulder
Dam. etc. A margin must be left
for these items. some of which are
reasonably certain to be adopted
House leaders hope to have the
measure taken up for consideration
tomorrow. An effort will be made to
send it to the Senate by saturday
December Il.
Mr. Green said the committee did
not know whether the corpora ton
tax cut affords adequate relief, but
it is all that can safely be allowed at
this time.
The reduction i'm the corporation
rates would apply to tax payments
due next March Is on income earned
in 1927 and other reductions would
become effective 80 days after the bill
becomes a law.
Consequently there will be large
surplus for that fiscal year Uhe cur
rent fiscal year ending next June 30).
which, under the law, will be applied
on the public debt" the report said.
He said that while some persons
claimed corporations already had
passed the 1928 tax on to the con
summer, economists generally agree
that the tax cannot be passed on
except by monopoly and that other
than in exceptional cases corporations
sell for the highest price consistent
with the broadest market that can be
obtained

Reed Appeals for Ware.

In his appeal to seat Ware pending
inquiry. Senator Reed of Pennsyl.
vania said, in part:
Il am not talking now for Mr. Ware.
am talking for the people of the
great State of Pennsylvania, and it
is great State. if only in numbers.
Ten per cent of the population of the
United States lives there. With the
utmost deliberation and with their
eyes wide open they sent their repre-
sentative to the United States Senate.
The Constitution cannot be amended
in its provisions for equal representa-
ton in the Senate. We do not get a
Droportionate representation in the
Senate. Sixteen States i'm the West
have population aggregating sma H.
or than that of this one State of
Pennsylvania. Surely we are not ask
ing 100 much when we say that at all
times we are entitled to have our two
Senator's on the floor. Surely that is
no. an excessive request from the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania. When they sent
to this body one who has served with
credit for Ia years i'm the other branch
Of the Congress of the United States,
do we run great risk Of taint when
we let him stay here for the 60 days
that are necessary to count these

THE RACE QUESTION.

Editor George w. Harris of The.
New York News has addressed q
long letter to President Calvin Cool
idge, Commander-in-C Chief of the
Army and Navy OF the United States
protesting against the action of the
War Department in refusing to pro-
vide for the accommodation of l
colored civilian applicant in the Sc
cond Corps area, the applicant being
Marsden V. Burnell, upon the
ground that colored division has
not been esta blished on account OF
the dearth of applicants of that
race and color.
In view of the plain provisions OF
the Constitution Of the United States
we are unable to see or understand
how the application of the colored
citizen can be legally denied. 1t
may be that he may constitute a
squad, company, division or COM
pany all to himself, but to deny him
the rights and privileges of any
other citizen is out of the question
from legal standpoint.
Our observation has been that no
President. Republican or Democrat,
has been able to resist successfully
the miasma of race prejudice at
washington, regardless OF what his
personal feelings might be upon the
subject. Theodore Roosevelt yielded
to it and Woodrow Wilson could
not resist its impetus and now it
seems that Calvin Coolidge, hailing
from the free State of Massachusetts
is stalled and bows to this same
browning infamy of the American
Republic.
The issue has been squarely pre-
scented and Dwight l.. Davis, Secre-
tary of War. while expressing his
desires in the matter, bows TO his
Negotiating associates in the War
Department and does absolutely
nothing. Both political parties oc-
cupy the same position upon this
subject What are you to do about
it?
