Deep in true ambassadors, their hearts, if they are their loyalty and 1 enthus- siasm of all who fought in our army, whether or not they are today mem- bers of the organization the delegates of which we honor. It'is to all our ‘fighting men that the salute is glyen as it is in honor to them and the spirit which made them invincible that the flag flies here and now. There is no petty feeling that this is a tribute to any one ex-servicemen's body; it is honest, sincere recognition of the in the country which stands for and with every sol- dier, sailor or marine who wore the uniform. Each such fighting man, his well-being if he is disabled, his hap- piness it he is still strong, is the con- this. Beneath all their plans for activity lies that one thought—the cherish- ing of the spirit of loyalty, one fight- his buddy, stranger appreciate the more while they wore her uniform.

ANOTHER ANG! There is a deeptr significance to the | matter of laying an extra spur track on Chestnut strect than that which | has yet appeared, and it is this other angle that in sidering that question considering every question of a simi- | Jar nature that comes up At 'the moment there is much op- position to the idea. The city's board | of public works refused to grant per- | mission to track; the ! people in the neigliborhood naturally object to this making more impassible & street that has already many tracks upon it. The Mayor and other city officials are strongly it, especially the superintendent of schools and the president the | m;hnnl board.

That real hand-shake makes a fellow feel that he would rather grasp the, hand in | friendship than see it doubled up into [y Really there is no especial reason | why the hope that they had a good | time should come so naturally today —unless, possibly, it is because our | own “finest” won the ball game, It was some ball game and the New Britain | men of the force seemed to forget all about the cares that harass them and to turn their attention to evening up the score in games played. The score stands tied, today, and it will be left that way—which, also, is quite as it should be. Both the Meriden and New Britain policemen will have grounds to declare, all winter long, that they would have won 4 deciding game, and that, too, is well. Having said so nice things about the policemen of Meriden it is | perfectly excusable t6 mention the fact casually that our own cops up- held the prestige of New Britain nobly on the diamond. They have a habit of taking care of the gpecople of New Britain, and they simply couldn't get over the habit there on the field. They took care of about everything that came their way. They played good ball, as did the men of Meriden; they played a little better ball than did the visitors in fact. And so, possibly, to many i hope the Meriden officers had a good time here yesterday is so hearty. i Come again, gentlemen of Meriden. And, gentlemen of New Britain, re- ceive the visitors and treat them just the way you did yesterday.

READER, RED CROSS URGES SPEED IN RAISING FUND FOR RELIEF New Britain Branch Receives Letter Telling of Immediate Need For Money, The Red Cross will fulfill its chart- er obligations, according to Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the Jap- ancse Disaster Relicf I'und, in a letter received by the New Britain branch. The committee in charge of rellef supply purchasing has need of un- limited sums of money, and although about $4,000,000 has already been ex- pended, the branches have been asked to collect donations until every dollar that can be secured has been sent to the American headquarters. Bepause of the urgent need for haste the Washington bureau has been asked to “speed up" and the Red Cross is meeting the situation of caring for the suffering as quickly as the people are supplying the funds. . In view of the fact that the nation- al orginization h:s incurred large obligations in making immediate pur- chases of materials needed by the sufferers, the chapter chairmen have been asked to foyward all funds to national hendquur‘(m-s immediately, The manager of the Washington division, Mrs, John Allen Dougherty has sent out the following congratu- latory note to chapters: “Congratulations! It is the spirit such as your chapters has shown that is enabling the American National Red Cross to carry on its work for Jumanity. Please extend our gen- uine appreciation to every man and woman who is helping to make the collection of Japanese Relief funds a success in your territory. We neced not tell you how urgent the cause or the nced for additional funds.” Miss Florence Winger and Clifton £, Richardson o Be Maried Satur- day Afternoon at Norden Bungalow A very pretty wedding will take place Saturday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock, at the Norden Bungalow, when Miss Florence Winger, daughter | of Mr. and Mrs, Gustave G.

Islation, has declared his opposition to any proposals for tax reduction, and has pressed his views on the president In two conferences, In support of Senator Smoot, Rep- resentative Green of JTowa, new chair- man of the house ways and means committee, which has jurisdiction over revenue laws in the lower cham- ber, returned to the capital a few days ago and announced his entire lack of sympathy with any sort of revision of the present laws, Meanwhile all along the line demo- crats of more or less influence in their party counclls continge to talk in a vague and indefinite way about the iniquities of the existing tax laws and the necessity for a change. Turning back to the platform of the two parties in the 1920 campalgn, it will be recalled that the democrats took a stand for immediate reductions of taxes In proportion to the decline in governmental expenses; while the republicans held out for a more guarded policy, with a view to the accumulation of surplus revenue to be used in funding the country's float- ing debt and bringing about a grad- val return to a normal stability in the finances and currency of the nation. Now, evidently, Representative Madden has come to the conclusion that the principal objects of the re- publican policy have been attained and that it is time for lightening some of the burden of the nation's taxation. His plan, so far as can be learned, calls for an automatic reduction of in- come and profits taxes in proportion to the surplus of receipts over ex- penditures shown in the treasury at the end of each fiscal year, the reduc- tion to apply on the normal eight per cent tax rate., The object almed at by Represonm{l\'e Madden is a low- ering of the taxes of persons of small incomes. Mellon’s Plan Secretary Mellon's plan, on the oth- er hand, calls for reductions of from 50 to 25 per cent on the surtax rate, the object being to turn into produc- tive enterprises some of the many millions now tied up in tax-free se- curities. The abolition of tax-free securities by constitutional amendment, which failed in the last congress, will again be recommended by the secretary of the treasury, as an additional aid to the carrying out of his plan. Representative Madden favors the Mellon plan; as well as his own; Sec- retary Mellon does not sympathize with the Madden proposal, but in- tends to push his own vigorously; Senator Smoot and Representative Green are opposed to both, on the grounds that the revenue is too un- certain as yet to warrant any reduc- tion in the tax rates, and that the present laws should be given a more thorough trial before any change is made, Coolidge's Stand President Coolidge is expected to advocate the changes recommended by Secretary Mellon's committee, and to include some recommendations for tax revision in his first message to congress; but the final action of con- gress on the various proposals affect- ing the revenue laws which are cer- tain to come before it is extremely | problematical. | The proposal to abolish tax-free securjties is certain to meet with vio- lent opposition, as it did last winter, and the mustering of sufficient strength to pass it as an amendment to the constitution is very doubtful. Taxation of farm loan honds would be fought by the agricultural interests; state and municipal governments everywhere are generally opposed to taxation of their honds. Reduction of taxes by the Madden plan will ‘meet with great disapprov- on the part of many of the old line | conservatives of the republican party, but might be able to muster consid- crable support from the ranks of the democrats and part-of the progressive republicans, Secretary Mellon's plan, on the other hand, for reducing the surtax rate on large incomes, would he the target for vicious onslaughts by many of the democrats as well as by the radical element of the major- ity party, s it will be on superficial examination open to the charge of he- | ing class legislation for the benefit of the wealthy. § Either plan would have hard sled- ding in commitiee on both sides of the capitol, in view of the attitude of the two chairmen, which would or- appearance of a bill on the floor.
