TAXES WILL SOON
 BE BROUGHT UP
Senate to Discuss Matter of
 Reduction Shortly

Washington, March 30 Pp-Next weeks senate committee-room fight over tax reduction took on added significance today with publication Of the treasury's latest estimate Of the probable surplus next fiscal year and the development that the demo- crats are preparing to maintain stiff opposition to the administration plans for a cut below its original s225, ,00o,000 recommendation.
 Speaking in Chicago last night, Under-Secretary Mills of the treas ury said that because the depart ment had made no allowances for increased appropriations due to new legislation it's first estimate of s252 100000 for the indicated 1929 surplus had been cut S37,u00, GOO. Moreover, he added, the new $215,- 900, 900 figure did not take into ac- count probable additional expendi- lures for flood and farm relief.
 Have To Reduce
 For this reason, Mills asserted. the original recommendation of the treasury for a s2e5, ,00o,0 tax cut would have to be reduced and he outlined The following revised pro- gram which the department is pre-. pared to submit next Tuesday before the senate finance committee when that body meets behind closed doors to consider the s29o, 100000 reduc- tion bill passed by the house:
 "A reduction of the corporation income tax, some additional meas ure of relief to the smaller corpora tons, a modified revision Of the in come tax rates applicable to the middle brackets and the repeal or the federal state tax"
 This revised program. looking to the scaling down of the proposed tax cut to sc00, 100000 or less is not going to have very smooth sailing in the senate committee, in the opinion of the democratic members. even though the republican inde- pcndents who hold the balance Of power, are in favor Of applying the surplus to reducing the public debt.
 simmons Opinion
 Senator Simmons. of North Caro- lima. ranking democrat on the com mit,ee. who has expressed the opin' ion that & cut of three or four hum dred million dollars was possible. declared yesterday that he was as- tonished, in view of reports that the March IS tax returns appeared 10 show an increase over the last year.

THRIFT GROWING !. IN ALL RUSSIA   SoYiets Showing Inclination
 to Save

Moscow March 30 (UP)-Thrift is a word heard almost as often in the soviet union as in other lands. At every step the Russian peasant and worker are eAhorted to turn their spare cash into the nearest savings bank as an answer to the credit boycott against their coun- try by the bourgeois world.
 Mobilization Of savings was urged ip a thousand editorials re- c-htiy on the firth anniversary of line establishment of the first post revolutionary savings bank, in 1923. Since then the network Of such banks has extended throughout the country. more than 5000 function ing, besides savings stations at post offices and railway depots.
 The total savings deposits gath cred in these banks amount at pres ent to 227 7,0G0. .0U0 rubles The fig ure is far below the aggregate say ings in the Czarist Russia of 1913, but the tempo Of increase promises a new record in a few years. The sum is owned by about 2,QU0,0 00o de- positors.
 The appeal for thrift, however, will not succeed until the vast peas ant population is convinced that q bank, is ias safe as a mattress, or as a loose boarding in the attic. Only 6.3 per cent oi deposltors are peas- ants and the amounts they trust to the banks are 50 small that they make only 3.6 per cent of the total funds on deposit.
 Fully 6S per cent of the deposit ors are workers Their savings too are comparatively small, totaling 4o per cent Of the entire amount. The average amount kept by individual dcpositors, according to figures for last September, was only Sl rubles. State, cooperative and other lnstitu- ,ons own q per cent Of the de- posits
 A circumstance which has oper- ated to cut down savings is the fear of goods famlncs running through all strata Of the population. Just as soon as some item of clothing or household utility appears in the stores. people begin to stock up for future use. Thus money which might be used by the banks to fla Cilitate industrial financing and credits for farm machinery is tied up in goods held by individuals in reserve.

always had a sincere interest in
what alfalfa would do for the en-

where there is so much welldrained

pared for alfalfa at small expense
and produce an abundance of the
greatest of homegrown dairy
feeds.
He says he will never be salts
fed until he sees alfalfa growing
along our highways because al
falfa would beautify and be very
profitable to the landowners and
those who live on the farms.
Many farmers in the Sank Gen.
tire section have attended many
meetings where Mr.. Hutchinson has
talked and they always get some
new information that will be help
full to them.
This year he has something new
and helpful to all.
He wants those who can do so
to bring in some samples of their
alfalfa hay, so others can see it
and he will show the difference in
the different grades.
