In Fairness.
Anchorage Times )

In fairness to your own neighbor and friend don't you think it would be better to do your cash buying at home? Spend it with the man who helps you when you sick who carries you through the period when you out of work who borrows money at the bank to carry you through the winter On the square, now, wouldn't it be much farer to buy from the hometown merchants?
 Your prosperity prosperity for the local merchant and he is a booster for your busi- ness. The mail order house thrives your distress and will do much to stave off an era of prosperity Even if you have strained your credit to the bursting point it would be much nicer to go down to your own merchant and spend what cash you going to spend with him He. has fairly earned fair play from you. and far-minded citizen you should see that he gets it. That is another why we urge to buy at home

PARIS SKIRT LENGTHS
 REMAIN STATIONARY
By HAZEL REAVIS Associated Press Fashion Editor)

PARIS, Feb. 10-The fashion able silhouette remains the same for spring with skirts at the same level, few inches below the knee for daytime and almost any length between the knees and the ankles for evening.
 A few houses show slightly heightened day skirts but most of the longer skirts are on models with uneven hemlines for hem. lines are now as capricious as waistlines and are placed where they look best, everything con. sidercd. For sport clothes and informal morning costumes the skirts are just long enough to cover the knees well.
 There are many changes in the details of the new fashions and accessories are mere important than ever.
 The spring 1ashionN collections illustrate more forcibly than for several seasons that the days of overnight changes in the mode are gone. Women obviously like the styles as they are. If they didn't the designers would have to change them, an important cou- turier said.
 'Only accessories and style de- tails change suddenly" he said. "The big changes, like general outline, shifting of mass and thickening or slenderizing of the figure are gradual and evolution ary. The entire beauty and bal ance of clothes depends on pro portion. If skirts were to sud denly become longer-they can't be much shorter-the entire sill houette would have to be repro portioned."

TAX CUT BILL
NEARLY READY
Passage Expected In
Senate Soon; Slice
224 Million
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, May 15.-F1-
With action on most Of the rate
schedules completed, the tax reduc-
ton bill in the senate today called
for a total cut of $224, 100000 COM
pared with the $500, 000, 900 limita-
ton set by President Coolidge and
Secretary Mellon and with the $780,
10000 voted by the house.
Fights are pending on the pro-
posed repeal of the inheritance tax
and two score individual amend
ments offered to the tax bill, mostly
applying on administrative provis-
ions, but senate leaders believe the
1924, 200 900 is the maximum the bill
will carry when il is finally passed
by the stnatt, probably tomorrow.
Republicans have scored in every
battle on the rate provisions OK
cept one and this one defeat upset
their $780, 900 900 program. The
democratic victory for retention Of
the graduated scale OF lower rates
applying on corporations with in
comes of $4,000 and less accounted
for the $4,000, 900 increase in the
republicans plan. Senator Smoot,
republican, Utah, in charge Of the
tax bill, has given notice, however,
that he will seek to have the senate
reverse this action, which was voted
by a margin Of 40 70 80.
The well-organized party battle
which has gone on during consider
alton Of the rate schedules broke
yesterday when the western repub-
lican independents left their party
for the first time to join democrats
in defeating the majority proposal,
81 to %, to have the reduction in in
dividual surtax rates apply retro
actively on last years income on
which taxes are payable this year.
The downward revision of the
surtax rates was voted earlier with
republicans winning their fight for
cuts in the rates applying on in
comes between $4,000 and $50. 900
and giving individual income tax
payers a prospective $25, 000,O 900
slice Of the total cut. Democrats
fought vainly for the amendment
