INCREASE IN BOXES FOR BALL IS LIKELY Demands Pour In From All Parts of Country for Inaugural Fete. So persistent has betn the demand from every part of the country for wdditional boxes at the Charity In- augural Ball, to be held in the May- fower Hotel, March 4, that the ad- ory committee in charge will meet at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning to consider possible plans for more stalls at the fete, it was announced today Ly Mrs. John Allan Daugherty, chair- man All available boxes, 68, were sub- scribed shortly after arrangements got under way. There s still some £pace in one or two of the Mayflower ball rooms that might be used for temporary boxes which would take care of a few applicants. Applica- tlons for the boxes are pouring In datly. On the ad ory committee, besides Mrs. Dougherty, who has general charge of all arrangements, are John Barton Payne, William F. Eno, Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, Mrs. Frederick H Brooke, Mrs. Frank B. Noyes, Mrs. Charles J. Bell and Mrs. James F. Mitchell, all vice chairmen of the zeneral rity ball committee and actively engaged in making the fete the most brilliant in the history of ‘Washington Dawes to Be Guests, At the same time the committee will plan the reception of Vice Pres- ident-elect and Mrs. Dawes, who will Dbe the guests of honor at the ball Gen. and Mrs. Dawes will have the large official box and during the course of the ball will receive the various State governors and other State officials. - Members of the dip- Jomatic corps, too, probably will be received The Governor of Vermont, native State of President Coolidge, and Mrs. Billings are the latest State officials to announce they will attend. With them will be Gen. Johnson, the gov- ernor’s aide, and Mrs. Johnson. Pre- viously a large number of other gov- ernors accepted invitations to the fete, including at least one of two woman governors, Mrs. Ross of Wyo- ming. Brig. Gen. William A. Mitchell, nest H. Van Fossen and Aus- tin C. Waller have engaged a box in the name of the Phi Kappa Psi na- onal fraternity. Numerous other such organizations and college alumni gocieties are among the many bodies that are now trying to obtain reser- vations if new boxes are built, which seems highly probable. Music Program Up. Leaders of the five orchestras that will furnish music at the hall are meeting this afternoon with _the music committee, headed by Mrs Laurence Townsend, to arrange the program of dances for the evening. The program will bring together the greatest assembly of famous or- chestras under the same roof ever seen at a_dance. A concert, lasting n hour,-will preceds the dance: pro- gram, which wifl begin at 10 o'clock. The young women's committee, head by Miss Natalie Hammond, has vostponed f{ts meeting from today uatil February 27. Another committee of young women, with Mrs. Karen G.

The advisory committee declared, however, that such stands would not be in keeping with the dignity of the occasion. An elaborate entertainment is to be accorded the Governor of New Hamp- shire and his staff during their stay about 10 spaces Young are members of the committee arranging the entertainment. New Hampshire will be officially represented at the inaugural by the following: Gov. and Mrs. John G.

Political lines were shattered split which has occurred over the ques tion as to whether the Federal Govern ment should withdraw from the field of inheritance taxation, States alone, should retire in favor of a unifled na- tional law. Although the conference was in the depths of its program this morn- ing, with mseveral addresses by econ- omists and Government chiefs, the most reliable indications seemed to point to- ward approval of the position outlined by President Coolidge yesterday of hay- ing the Federal Government gradually withdra: Various Angles Discussed.

Cordell Hull, Demo- crat, Tennessee, suggested that if the States could adopt uniform laws he was in favor of leaving this kind of taxation to the commonwealths, but until such could be accomplished he was in favor of leaving the Federal law on the statute books. Prof. Adams of Yale, opening the morning session today, declared the progressive tendency in American life had become convinced of the effi- cacy and justice of the Federal in- heritance tax, and even shouid the tax be abolished within a short time, this tendency would bring It back within a few years. Indulges in Prediction. Prediction that the Federal Gov- ernment could get along without the inheritance tax, and that it was & political possibility to abolish ft, Prof. Adams said If it should ‘be abolished and left to the States, the States would probably make such use of it that the “demagogue would be turnished a situation on which he may ride to power within a few vears.” Proposal for early adoption urged by Prof. Adams included re- duction of the present tax rates, de- clared to be entirely too high, “adop- tion of rates which can be enforced and administered,” thereby develop- ing a more favorable psychological attitude of the taxpayer; change the arbitrary definition of the size of shares of stock, and establishment of Government machinery to terminate delay in settlement of disputes cver collections of Federal inheritance taxes. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Dewey, declaring that the American ideal looked toward equal opportu- nity for all “in building for the fu- ture,” said that “a man cannot be ex- pected to continue to work, day after day, increasing through his efforts the productiveness of this country und thereby benefiting the living con- ditfons of others, if he knows that upon his death the major portion of his earnings will be dissipated in Federal estate and State inheritance taxes.” Productive capital suffered from burdensome inheritance taxes, Mr. Dewey said, warning that “it is es- sential, therefore, in levying taxes to ra{se revenue, that we do not destroy the sources from which that revenue is derived.” Mr. Dewey related a “fable” in detail of the operation of State and Federal inheritance taxes which drove one manager of a suc- cessful business to retire, to invest his earnings in tax-exempt bonds and move to Florida, where there is no inheritance tax. “A, tax system,” he said, “which penalizes the creative spirit and discourages initiative can- not be the right system for Amer- ica,” sald Mr. Dewey Prof. Bullock of Harvard discussing the future of estate and inheritance taxes, declared that if the revenue is not absolutely needed by the Fed- efal Government and is in fact a positive Incentive to extravagance, “it should be repealed at the earliest possible moment. and this conference should reaffirm the resolution adopted at Columbus in 1907 to the effect that succession taxes should be reserved wholly for the use of the several States.” There were only two pos- sible plans in sight, Prof. Bullock said either “one tax, levied by the Fed- eral Government; or we should have a wsystem (not a choas) of taxes IT'S THE CUT OF YOUR CLOTHES THAT COUNTS ugger hips.
