SAG, ,8O4, 900 slash on the admin
istrations tax. Certain exemptions
also were allowed in the tax on
automobile trucks and bodies,
while the tax on tires was cut in
half.
The revenue act of 1925 provided
what were termed scientific re-
forms in the tax system. The
rates on normal income were re-
duced from 2, 4 and per cent to
/ and one half, 3, and per cent
and the maximum surtax was cut
from 40 per cent to 20 per cent,
while the exemptions were increas-
ed to $500 for married man and
81 500 for single man. This alone
freed about two million persons
from paying any taxes.
The 1925 law also removed the
excise tax on manufacturers and
dealers sales, except those on pis-
tolls, revolvers, passenger automo-
biles, and motorcycles, while some
of the stamp taxes were removed.
The 1928 revenue act further lift
ed the national tax burden by re-
ducing the corporation tax from 13
and one half per cent to IL per
cent and granted additional relief
to small corporations having a net
net income of not more than $25,000
by increasing the credit from ST.
600 to $4,000. The excise tax on
automobiles was repealed and the
tax on admissions of So or less re-
moved.

The International is referred
to as as a ceremony where the
best specimens of horses, cattle
sheep and swine are each year
crowned kings and queens Of their
respective kinds. When the 1928
edition of the exposition is in
session, that figure Of speech will
be put to actual practice, accord
ing to exposition officials.
They are planning an elaborate
display of champions of all the fat
classes of cattle, sheep and swine.
Actual thrones" are in the course
of construction. The top places
are to be "spot-lighted" to the pub
lie view by this means. Specially
built, elevated stalls are being made
to accommodate the champion
animals as soon as they are desig-
mated. The enthroned champions
of the 1929 international, it is as
sured, are going to increase the
interest and effectiveness of the
Show for everyone.
Sparkling Horse Shows each
night, abounding in the thrill of
equine perfection in it's best dress
will attract thousands. Practically
all of the famous names known to
horse show circles are included on
the exhibitor list.
In every way will the rarest boun-
ties of Nature be in such array at
the 1929 international" as to kindle
even the most lackluster eye.

except that region no such arrows
are made.
Science does not pretend to say
how long the goose carried the ar
row of Yukon tribesman until it
met its death from a shot fired by
a civilized gunner down on an In

up Its toes to the craftsmanship of

bird life that has helped further
the scientific conservation and pro-

If time permitted me, I could
give numerous cases where the
board did not properly perform its
duties under cashier who did not
ask for help, and later this same
board took very active part in the
management of the bank, because
the new cashier wanted and insist
ed on their help. It is always de-
sirable to have real board of di-
rectors in the bank and from our
experience in the department, the
usefulness of the board depends
largely on the active officers.
An excessive amount of so-called
frozen and capital loans has closed
many banks, not only because they
were unable to keep up their re-
serve, but also because such assets
too often develop into losses. We
all know that the banks assets
must be more liquid than many OF
them have been in the past.
The department has adopted the
definite policy of trying to get the
banks, which still have old capltal
and frozen loans, to insist on per-
iodical payments. Many borrowers
are assigning part of their cream
ery checks or part of their salaries,
etc., to apply on such loans.
Besides helping the banks to at
least reduce such loans this prac-
tice is doing a real kindness to the
borrowers, as many of them Will
never accumulate enough to make
large payments at one time.

The reduction made by Congress
since Mellon took office in 1921
were through the revenue acts Of
1921, 1924, 1926, and 1928. The
first slash became effective in 1928
and cut $685., 100000 off the total
collections.
But as the tax rates of the ma
ton were reduced, taxable incomes
Increased with corresponding ben
efits for the treasury. In 1922 the
total income and miscellaneous
taxes collected by the government
amounted to $3,197, ,451 ,0s3 and the
next year despite reduction of
$663, 100000 the total collected was
but $87,000,0O0 below the 1922 fig
ure and included a considerable in
crease from some sources.
In 1924 the tax collections noun
ted to $2,7S6,179,2 ,257 and though
Congress that year cut $519, 900
of the estimated tax payments, the
next year saw only a drop of $212,-
10000 in the collections which
reached a total of $2,5S4, ,140,2
This sum with the cut was re-
garded as showing an actual in
crease of approximately $400,000,-
600 from the same sources as COM
pared with the year before. Tax
collections continued to mount in
1926 and 1927, showed slight drop
in 1928 and an increase of $3.50, 900
900 in 1929 despite another tax cut
that took $222,O0O,0OO more off the
total taxes.
Secretary Mellon in recommend
ing tax reductions to Congress
maintained that reduction in taxes,
invariably increased revenue and
explained that this resulted from
funds that were held in investment

of the transportation tax, reducing
it by $273,000,000.
The government went further in
1924 and reduced the levies or
small incomes, cutting the rates
from 4 and 8 per cent to 2, 4 and G
per cent while the surtaxes were
revised so that the rates ranged
from 1 per cent on net incomes in

United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.AEstab-
lishment of satisfactory relation
ship between the proposed five-pow-
er naval conference and the work
Of the League of Nations prepara-
tory disarmament conference is
developing today into the most diff
cult of matters to be adjusted before
naval discussion begins in January.
Rene Massigli, speaking for
France before the league assembly,
this week insisted final decision upon
naval limitation or reduction must
rest with the leagues preparatory
conference.
officials we're reluctant to discuss
this French attitude today, but it
was not received warmly in Wash
ington, although it represents in a
general way the program envisaged
by Hoover when American naval re-
duction first was proposed last
April.
Since then the trend has been
toward five-power conference
competent to adjust the naval prob
lens of the nations concerned. The
agreement reached by the five pow
ers-Great Britain, United States,
France, Italy and Japan-would be-
come the nucleus of the leagues
solution of the worldwide naval
problem. But it would not await
league ratification to become effect
i've among the five comforting ma
tons.
To admit the necessity of league
ratification before decisions of the
flve-power conference could become
operative would admit the POSSIBLE
ity of perhaps fatal delay, in the
opinion of obserers here.
Press dispatches have suggested
French opinion to be that the five
power conference should not concern
itself with tonnage figures, but
merely should devise broad princi-
pies of reduction or limitation.
Application of these principles to
the concrete international naval
problem would become the duty of
the league body. There is no SYM
pathy for such a program evident in
Washington.

Summers Last
Rose to Bloom
Before Monday
BIZ Science Service

BIZ Science Service
The last rose of summer will have
to bloom here before 6:53 Monday
morning, Sept. %.
After then it will be the first rose
of autumn, for the fall season be-
gins at that hour.
Automatically, this time is the
moment at which the sun enters
the zodiacal sign Of Libra, the
scales. The path of the sun is di-
vided into twelve signs, three for
each season, which date from re-
mote antiquity. The old aStrologers,
who were the first astronomers, con-
sidered them of great Importance,
because the sign that the sun oc-
cupied at the time of a persons
birth was supposed to influence his
entire life. Though astronomy has
given up these old superstitions, the
names are still retained as mat
ter of convenience.
The point of the suns path at
which it enters the sign Of Libra
is known as the autumnal equinox,
because when the sun reaches this
point the days and nights are OF
practically equal length throughout
the world. On June 81, for in
stance, when farthest north, the
sun rose at 558 a. m. at the equa-
tor, and at 2:35 a. m. at go degrees
north latitude, approximately that
of Oslo or Juneau, Alaska.
Next Monday the sun will rise
at SAG at the equator and at .5:4S
and so degrees north. Also, at the
time of the autumnal equinox, the
sun is directly overhead at the
ary,of toy.

Worm Turns

BIZ IHtfcd Press
CLEVELAND. Sept. 21-
Man takes it for granted he
is superior to the average
smaller species of animal life.
He hunts and chases the small
animal because it will run from
him. This is one of the ports
of men.
Arnold Wagner of Cleveland
described as a gifted hunter
locally, followed this theory
automatically.
In Rocky River valley, Veg
ner sighted a little squirrel. 1t
had been stunned by a shot.
Wagner started chasing. The
squirrel sprinted a few yards;
then suddenly turned.
The little squirrel faced the
man and defantly stood his
ground. Wagner came on. The
little squirrel bit the big
hunter on the ankle.
Wagner pondered over this
reversal of mans theory today
as he bandaged his ankle.
