People of small income will probably be the chief beneficiaries from the change, although the cuts in surtax schedules will be 1 decided encouragement to capitalists and enable them to expand their undustrial enterprises with an | assurance of a reasonable net profit. Mr, Mellon’s first recommendation is to re- duce by twenty-five per cent the tax on earned income, mostly wages, salnries and professional services, which would mean a loss in revenue of $97,500,000 a year. The greater part of that sum would be saved to people of very moderate means. Another great saving to the same class of taxpayers is the suggestion for lowering the present normal tax rates of four and eight per cent to three and six per cent, respectively. That change would furnish an estimated relief of $91,600,000 annually. A further reduction of $70,000,000 would come from the repeal of the} tax on admissions and another cut of $30,000,- 000 from the repeal of the tax on telegrams and telephones. The surtax rates would begin at telephones. The surtax rates would begin at $10,- 000 instead of at $6,000 as at present, and would be scaled progressively upward to twenty-five per cent on incomes of $100,000. This change may; mean a temporary loss to treasury revenue at first, but experience has taugh that in the long run it will bring increased receipts. Of course the greater part of those reductions are warranted by the surplus of* $310,000,000 recorded in the last fiscal year, but other changes in the law recommended by Mr. Mellon are expected to bring in additional receipts to offset some of the reductions. Limiting deduc- tions of capital losses to twelve and a half percent will increase the revenue about $25,- 000,000, and an increase of about $35,000,000 is anticipated from a provision limiting the deduc- tions for interest paid and for losses not of a business character. Mr. Mellon emphasizes the fact that the re- ductions he has recommended can be realized only if the soldier bonus idea is abandoned. “The treasury has proceeded” he says, “on the theory that the country would prefer a substan- tial reduction of taxation to the increased taxes that would necessarily follow from a soldier's bonus, and I have faith to believe it is justified in that understanding.” The secretary declares there is nothing better calculated to promote the well-being and happiness of the whole coun- try than the lifting of a part of the heayy bur- den of taxation.

A more natural and ap- |propriate movement. | The combination will involve co-operative marketing and greater diversification and busi- iness efficiency on the farm. | Bankers have profited by farm bank deposits, farm bank loans, and in turn have helped farm- \saving machinery. And farmers are not natur- ally socialists.

Oklahoma publishers are advertising the statement that “Oklahoma has not been so pros- perous in five years.” They state her agricul- tural products this year will aggregate consid- erably over a quarter of a billion dollars. After g the figures the advertisement says: “They represent not hopes, but actual dollars. Farmers of Oklahoma have $60,000,000 more to above the preceding year. In fact, not since the peak price days of 1919 have the farmers of Ok- lahoma had so much money to spend.” The business department of the Capper farm publications is circularizing the advertisers of the country with the statement that the farmer is in good shape and has a happier outlook and money to spend.

They are a great deal better off than they were a year ago. The farmer’s dollar a year ago. when ex- changed for other goods was worth 64 per cent of what it was worth in 1913. The farmer's dol- lar tod. when exchanged for other goods is worth per cent of what it was in 1913. Al- though this~is 25 per cent off( it nevertheless is a substantial gain over conditions a year ago and clearly indicates the trend in agricultural communities. Prices have been on the upgrade for a number of months. Wheat today is selling 14 per cent above’ the low level of the year. Corn is selling 57 per cent above the 1923 low level; hogs. 14 per cent above and cattle 18 per cent above. This ad- vance in prices coming at a time when farmers are actually selling their harvests rather than after they have disposed of them, is of double benefit to the producer. Owing to his ability to get credit, due to legis- lation enacted by the last Republican congress, the farmer is not rushing his 1923 harvest to market in anything like the degree he has in pre- vious years, when he was compelled to dispose of his crops almost as soon as they were gath- and thelr three children and no member of the family aside from Mrs. Schamp noticed any ill effects. Mrs. Schamp was taken ill and gradually her condition became more critical until Monday~ afternoon when she became unconscious. She was taken to the hospital where her case was pronounced hopeless. pia dt Fo Destroyed Gin Mill LANDER.—Sheriff Gaylord with Deputies Jensen and ‘Thompson spent nearly all night on an island in Big Wind river near Shoshon! trying to pick up the owners of a hooch factory installed in a dugout What Was “Robin Hood’s Barn”? exes and cabin. ; learned to choose some roundabout route i a howell accion toafitlea | e into Notting- 5 boat ooking tke the ola’ pletares of ham, rather than the short cut that led straight theotigh 1 "tha -echost ‘historias: aanape Bae .
