(BY DAVID LAWRENCE), (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune). WASHINGTON, May 15.—President Coolidge’s first important victory in the exercise of his veto power— namely the failure of congress to muster two-thirds vote to override his disapproval of the Bureau pension bill— means a renewed effort on the part of the White House to make economy in government expenditure the basis of its ‘SUBWAY FIRE [CONTROLLED Fire said by neighbors to. have. been caused by an explosion in an underground passageway broke out at 1032 East Burlington street about 9:20 o'clock last night, swept through the passageway and de- stroyed a part of the shack before it could be placed under control. ‘The house is the property of Ed Halloway although it has been occupied by John Clemons: The fire is thought to have started from an excavation made in the yard for the purpose of housing a still, The still had already been taken by the police about a week ago and was of such construction to attract evan the admiration of “Pussyfoot” Johnson, noted pro- hibitionist, What was left in the excavation that would explode has rot been determined.

Mr. Coolidge did not oppose the principle of pensions but states that the country cannot afford further bounties.

This js based on the estimates of government actuaries.

It is true that occasionally the estimates have var- fed and that the figures have been $50,000,000 or so above og below the line but in each case sinte the war the budget has been balanced, a cir- cumstance that has helped give the dollar unusual strength in the cur- rency markets of the world. But at no time has congress faced a deQcit of nearly a half billion dollars. When the Longworth bill passed the house it carried a deficit but the treasury department Suggested changes which would provide the needed revenue. The senate has in the main {gnored these sugges- tions and made further cuts while failing to provide productive subst!- tutes, Many people have the {dea that the questions at issue are whether the rich shall be taxed heavily, whether big business shall escape levies, and whether the man of small- er income shall be preferred. From the view point of the treasury de- partment, and particularly its ac- tuaries, there fs no such discrimina- tion. Big business can avoid tax levies just as investors who buy exempt securities. The produ ity of a tax {s not altogether a mat- ter. of legislation. And the actu- aries know from experience just what business does to avoid taxes.
