Press Applauds Prediction
Congress Will Lower Taxes

A prediction by Senator Reed OF
Pennsylvania that tax reduction will
DO considered at the coming session
of Congress meets with widespread
approval. There Is some unfavorable
comment on the political aspects Of
the matter, but with few exceptions
the newspapers are favorable and
especial support Is given the proposal
to scale down the tax on corporations.
While taking note of the fact that
warning has been given that not all
of the receipts of the present fiscal
year will be duplicated next year"
the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
independent Republican, feels there
is confidence that the margin is
enough to warrant tax cut of
$300,000.000 next year." The Bulle-
tin continues: There can be some
reduction of corporation taxes in fur
Their encouragement Of business en-
terprise; there should be abolition of
some of the remaining nuisance
taxes; there ought to be further re-
duction in the surfaces on moderate
incomes. The way is apparently clear
for a tax reduction dividend out of
the profits of prosperity and sound
fiscal management at Washington"
"Relief of the corporation tax might
we'll be shown to be more generally
beneficial than reduction in the rate

the Charleston Evening Post Gnde-

who pay personal income taxes is
comparatively small, but the masses
of the people, whose incomes are
moderate and without the. range of
the tax, are affected by the tax on

The War for Right Living.

mond. Ind, yesterday in dedication of
b public park, President Coolidge took
occasion to touch upon the delin-
uuencies that mark the present social
condition in this country, but not in
b vein of pessimism. He spoke as one
of Arm faith in the ability of the
American people TO advance morally
despite passing tendencies toward
lower standards. He said:
Although our Government is sound
and our courts are excellent, too many
bf us disregard the obligations of
kitizenship by neglecting to vote, and
violence and crime are altogether too
prevalent. Our delinquencies are suf-
ticient to require us to put forth all
bur efforts to work toward their elm
lnation. But we should not be dis
eouraged because we are surrounded
by human limitations and handicapped
by human weakness. We are also pos
kessors of human strength. Intelli-
gence, courage. fidelity. character
these also are our heritage and our
mark of the Divine Image.
In these words the President sets a
standard of law and right living that
lhould be held up for observance
throughout the country. The prev
llence of crime has stimulated great
numbers Of citizens to organized eff
lorts for its suppression. There is no
more hopeful sign than the joining to-
kether of active workers for the pub
ho benefit in groups to study the
kauses of crime and to find means of
essening 1t through preventive laws
Ind through penalties Of corrective
character.
It has sometimes been urged that
there is a wave of crime publicity
rather than a wave Of crime itself in
America today. However that may be,
It Is evident that a real problem pre-
sents itself. Administration Of the
laws has become complex to the point
pf favoring rather than deterring the
lawbreaker. A pronounced reaction
has taken place in correction OF this
condition. Commissions Of citizens are
engaged in the study Of the facts and
In search of remedies. Legislatures
have gone about the amending OF
criminal codes and statutes relating to
judicial procedure. Efforts are being
made to effect the unification Of State
laws and practices. 1t is a great task.
II may take a number of years for
accomplishment. But every advance
that lie made is positive gain, and
the best feature Of this movement is
the intense earnestness on the part of
B large body of influential people who,
despite discouragements, continue in
the endeavor.
The four qualities denoted by the
President as the heritage of the peo.
pie, Intelligence, courage. fidelity and
character, are the elements Of greatest
force in this fight to redeem the land
from crime, and they will win the
battle.

Chain Bridge.

Motorists are warned of the weak
ened condition of the Virginia end of
Chain Bridge. At conference yes
terday In the District Building 1t was
brought out that the south abutment
of the Anticipated structure was IN
serious danger Of collapse If motorists
do not use proper precautions in drlv-
ing over the approach. Stop signs
have been placed and it Is the inten'
ton of Virginia authorities to see that
they are obeyed. While the matter
was discussed at the meeting, the
bridge will not be closed If the stop
signals prevent speeding on the weak
ened section.
1t is all very well to take temporary
measures for the safety of motorists,
either through strict policing or by
means of minor repairs, but it is APP
parent that replacement of the entire
structure should take place at the first
possible moment. 1t was many years
before public demand forced the clos.
ing of Aqueduct Bridge and the con-
struction of the beautiful and sturdy
new Key Bridge. This delay should
not be repeated in regard to Chain
Bridge, but steps should be taken at
once to provide a safe entry to the
city at this point.
In the meantime motorists should,
for their own protection if nothing
else, obey the newly erected stop
signs. Washington and it's environs
have been the scenes Of too many
bridge accidents already, and the pub.
lie is warned in no uncertain language
that fast driving over the Chain
Bridge is likely to end in disaster.

better increase his chances for the
Democratic nomination next year by

conundrum Is giving some Of his
supporters no little worry. They be-
lieve that If the dynamic New Yorker

to remove prejudice against Tam.

hand, should the governor undertake
such a stamping trip, obviously he

chief lieutenant, Judge George Olvany.

Tammany Hall, was loud in his de-
mands that Smith get out into the
country and make himself heard.
Religious prejudice and the aversion
to Tammany In the West, according
to other sources Of information now
at hand, make 1t impossible for Smith
to gain real Roadway in that section
of the country. Indeed, there are in
creasing evidences that, unfortunate
as it may be, the religious issue is
to play a dominant part in the battle
over the nomination of AL Smith, and
In the general election should he be
nominated. Talk of Smiths carrying
Massachusetts, against President Cool
idge is said to be mere optimism on
the part Of certain Democrats by well
informed politicians OF both parties
from the Bay State.

What is the best way to handle a
small rectangular back yard?
This is the most widespread city
gardening problem. for more persons
own such yards than are the proud
possessors of larger areas.
Whereas 1t is a comparatively simple
matter to develop a lot SO by $50 feet,
the problem increases in difficulty as
the plot grows smaller.
You can landscape the big lot, but
how on earth can a small affair, say
20 by so feet, Ice Handicapped?
The honest answer Is that 1t cannot
be. 1t Is true that by much skill and
thought some approximation of per-
spective may be reached, but in the
main the result is largely subterfuge.
The small garden lies completely
under the eye of the beholder.
Standing upon porch, for instance,
he is able to look down and take in
every detail of the garden at a glance.
The use OF hedges, or arches, or per-
COLA, cannot break the sweep In such
a yard.
This Is the reason why the average
city back yard" offers the largest
gardening problem, much more diff
cult than that faced by the owner OF
a larger place, where perspective may
be realized, and surprise introduced in
a number of ways.
X " II X
Simplicity must be the keynote.
To crowd it with bird baths, arches,
sundials, stone benches and Whatnot
is to make it q junk pile. not a garden.
Even the larger place has to use
such furniture" with restraint. There

only the ridiculous has been reached
by the use of too many Italian urns
and stone seats. The spectator feels
that he is viewing the display place
of some merchant in such wares. AS
a matter of fact, such pieces have no
place at all in an American garden;
and when half a dozen of them are
crammed into place, the effect can be
imagined.
In developing a small back yard, one
has a choice of two methods of treat.
ment, the formal and the informal.
A person with an instructive taste
for beauty and some experience in
carrying out his ideas may be able
to develop first-class place by estab'
fishing what is known as an informal
garden"
Nine out of ten persons, however,
will far better by sticking to formal
ity. The formal garden, SO called, is
the best solution.
Right here one might say a word as
to the time to be spent in a garden.
There are some who fondly think that
a few moments in the evening, per-
haps once or twice a week, are all
that is necessary to complete and
carry through good garden.
BY August they begin to wonder
why it is their gardens do not look
up to snuff"
AS matter of fact. a garden can
stand all the time one wants to put
into it. There is always something
to be done, if one realizes the neces-
sity for its doing. This realization
must come first.
Especially in the formal small gar
den is there good reason why much
time must be put upon it. Let us say
that the geometrical plan has been de-
cided upon. in developing the plot of
ground.
That is, straight lines are used.
The lines of borders are straight,
beds are straight in outline, every
thing in the garden has been set out

The governors of two States Of the
Middle West have announced their
preference for Frank O. I4owden OF
Illinois for the Republican nomination
for President next year. Both are
Republicans, Gov. Hammill of Iowa
and Gov. Adam McNtullen of Ne

Lowden as the "friend Of the farmer"
Gov. Small of Illinois, however, has
said nothing about Mr.. Lowden so Tar.

daughter of the late Senator Marx
Hanna of Ohio, Is travelling over Hi
nois at present building up Republican
fences for next year. At the same
time she is seeking to lay a powder
mine under Gov. Small. who may be
a candidate for reelection. Not long
ago Mrs. Mccormick declared that
he must be defeated for denomination
and reelection even II she had to be
a candidate against him herself. She
is the Republican national committee
woman for Illinois. She is credited
with having said graphically that she
was against all third terms" Some OF
the politicians are wondering If Mrs.
Mccormick will be found in the
Lowden camp when next June rolls
round. 1t is very doubtful, however,
that Lowden could command ma
jority OF the Illinois delegation to the
next Republican national convention.
Even in 1920, when he was leading
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for President, Lowden did not
have solid State delegation be-
hind him.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga new en-
durance record is the latest goal of
Americas birdmen.
Six noted pilots today were tun-
ing up new planes for attempts to
lower the record of fifty-two hours
and twenty three minutes, set last
sumuer by two German fliers. The
German aviatorS stole the mark
from Bert Acosta and Clarence D.
Chamberlin, who had set a previous
record in the spring.

day for Detroit to join his flying
partner, Edward F. Schlee. The two
round the-world fliers, accom-
panied by another pilot, Richard r.
Blythe, will then go to Daytona,

hours to the endurance mark.
