Punishment was fixed and the sentence suspended, but City Judge John H. Morgan warned Feil that a repetition of the offense would result in his incarceration for the term imposed in addition to a more severe penalty. The undergarment edict was issued two vears ago, modifying a rule pre- scribed by Joseph Smith, first prophet of the church, for garments leaving only the feet, hands and head ekposed. The order-also permitted buttons on the undergarments instead of strings. Feil's objection to the change was registered at a recent meeting. He told the church his message was one merely of repentance and reforma- tion, He said he previously exception with the church authorities on the order changing the length of garments, “because God is unchang- ing and could not have permitted this devia‘ion from the established custom.” * Feil was given his banners and flags confiscated at the time of his arrest upon condition that he would not again use them to interrupt public meetings, Octo- s s 2 Over 43 per-cent of all farms in the United States are on unimproved dirt roads Paint Yofir Home in October October is the “great divide” between seasonable, paintable weather—and real win- ter!

President Coolidge may not be & self-avowed candidate for the presi- dency, but he has assumed leadership in the tax situation which may afford an opportunity for a spectacular end- ing to his official career, if ending it is to be. The Pre dissent from the view expressed by the United States Chamber of Commerce in. suggesting big reducation in taxes was ¢ one of criticism of that influential institution, but effort to persuade the - that it is putting the cart before the horse—that tax reduction is not going to be possible unless A economy is practiced.

Test of President’s Power. Tn most instances a Senator or mem- ber of the House finds himself pressed by his chamber of commerce and then by leading citizens influenced by the same chamber. In this way the desire for harhor jmprovements, new build- ings and other appropriations, which might be dispensed with or at least postponed, affects the two house of Congres: Mr. Coolidge knows that unless ot economy is applied the appropriations may run a deficit in- stead of a surplus. He has come to an important test of his power with Congress, and the intimations given the Chamber ‘of Commerce may he taken as a forerunner of what will be said in the annual message to Con- gress in December.
