PUBLICATION of the full text of
I Locarno treaties did not lessen the
chorus of praise for the achievement
of the European statesmen who for-
mulated the pacts, and their accept-
ance by the parliaments of the na-
tions directly concerned seemed as-
sured despite the opposition of various
groups of extreme Nationalists and
Communists. The suggestion emanat-
ing from the White House that the
time was about ripe for the calling of
a new armament reduction conference
by President Coolidge was not so well
received, especially by the French.
Indeed, the Paris press frankly told
America to mind her own business.
Mr. Coolidge agreed that a conference
limited to discussion of land forces
would be Europe's own affair and
could not be participated in by the
United States; but he was said to be
of the opinion that another conference
on limitation of naval forces would
stand the best chances of success if
held in Washington.

Washington.—Failure of French au-
thorities in Damascus to give warn-
ing to American residents prior to
the punitive bombardment of certain
lections of' the city last week has
promted the Washington Government
v> make representations through Am-
bassador Herrick to the Foreign Of-
fice tn Paris.
No American lives wore lost, nor
was any American injured, as far as
official advices have reported, but
tome damage was caused to property
owned by Americans, and suitable
claims will be filed with the French
Government when the necessary data
to available.
The more serious aspect of the
situation lies in the fact that reports
received from the - American Consul
show that, while French families
were withdrawn to places of safety
before the bombardment, no warn-
ing was given to the Consul or to
American or other foreign residents.
The Consulate itself is situated In
the Christian quarter of Damascus,
and American nationals reside tn
surrounding sections,'which were sub-
jected to artillery fire as a warning
to the native population and a re-
taliation against those who had Join,
ed with Druse tribesmen in rioting
and attacks on the French soldiery
and police.
While the instructions sent to Am-
bassador Herrick covered only the
the making of representations as to
protection to be accorded by the
French authorities to American lives
and property, there Is little doubt
they left room for vigorous language
by the Ambassador in calling atten-
tion to the Imperiling of American
lives without warning.
Officials here would not go beyond
confirming that such representations
have been made by the Ambassador
on instructions from Washington, but
there to no question that the Wash-
ington Government feels that, in com-
mon with other governments, it has
the right to expect the Paris Govern-
ment to take definite steps to estab-
lish responsibility for the failure to
warn American nationals and to bring
about disciplinary action.

to France under the circumstances
could be made only on faith, hope and

He went on to explain that it would
be necessary to ask the American
people to subscribe to any loan to
France that might be obtained in Wail

WONDcR
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
PENTNG its hearings of tax re-
vision plans, the bouse commit-
tee on ways and means first called on
Secretary Mellon to tell what the
Treasury department thought would be
a safe reduction of Income taxes and
how it should be made. The heaviest
cut advised by the secretary Is In sur-
taxes, now paid on net Incomes In ex-
cess of >10,000. He argues that re-
duction of surtaxes will divert invest-
ment from tax-free securities to in-
dustrial and commercial enterprises;
that more business will make more
profits and more profits will make
more tax revenue, and then it will be
possible to reduce taxes again.
Summarised, Secretary Mellon’s pro-
posals are:
L Reduction of taxes in the aggre-
gate to the extent of from $250,000,000
to $300,000,000.
2. Reduction of normal taxes to 1
per cent, 2 per cent, 8 per cent, and 5
per cent, instead of 2 per cent, 4 per
cent and <1 per cent
3. Reduction of surtaxes to a mini-
mum of 20 Instead of the existing 40
per cent
A Surtaxes to begin at 1 per cent at
$12,000 instead of $10,000, and run up
20 per cent above $150,000 instead of
40 per cent above $500,000.
5. Elimination of the 25 per cent
deduction on earned Income.
& Reduction of and eventual repeal
of the estate tax.
7. Repeal of the gift tax.
8. Retention of the taxes on admis-
sions and on passenger automobiles.
9. Repeal of the taxes on trucks,
tires and accessories.
10. Repeal of the taxes on art works
and several other minor imposts.
IL Repeal of the provision for pub-
licity of tax payments.
12. Enlargement of the board of tax
appeals
Mr. Mellon told the committee that
although the soldier bonus will cost
$100,000,000 more than was estimated,
tax revenue also has Increased and
there will be approximately a $290,000,-
000 surplus on‘July 1.1928. He guessed
the surplus would be from $250,000,000
to $800,000,000 the following year, so
it would be safe to reduce taxes that
much.
Next day representatives of the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers
appeared before tbe committee and
made suggestions substantially tn ac-
cord with those of Mr. Mellon. The sec-
retary’s plan was supported also by 00
representatives of Iowa tax clubs, who
asserted the sentiment In their state
was strongly for the administration’s
advocacy of repeal of the federal
estate tax. A similar group from Texas
said the same for that state. Chair-
man Green of Iowa and Representa-
tive Garner of Texas, ranking minority
member of the committee, both favor
retention of the federal estate tax, and
both refused to admit that the tax
dub men fairly represented the senti-
ment in their respective states.

Fort Worth, Texas.—Widening of
the gap ot pike between Dallas and
Fort Worth, located between the Fort
Worth city limits and Arlington, has
‘been officially taken over by the
. State Highway Department. This "an-
! nouncement wae made here by Guy
Coarter of Mineral Wells, consulting
engineer for the State, who has been
in charge of a survey of projected
highway wot*k betweea the two cities.
A Federal eagfneer who has been
making observations for the Govern-
ment oa tha traffic situation between
Fart Werth and Dallas declared that
tbe satire area between the two
municipalities should bo organised
and placed under the direction of
competent management, so that ita
development with regard to roads,
drainage and other problems might
be ta harmony with the future settle-
ment of the area by residents. Buch
settlement to bound to oomo about
within the next tew years and link
the two cities, it was pointed ouL
Blds will bo opened at Anetta on
oonstruction work on or before Nov.
U, and work will start as soon there-
after as possible, Mr. Courtar atated.
The widening project will begin
at the edge of the Fort Worth city
limits, five and six-tenths miles east
of the Tarrant County courthouse,
and will then run to the edge of
the town of Handley, where there
will be a skip through the Urwn of
about nine-tenths ot a mile.
The pike starting on the eastern
boundary of Handley to within a
mile and a half of Arlington ta the
balance of the six and seven-tenths
miles of highway to bo widened and
repaired, using the old road as a
pari of th# foundation, local engineers

FERGUSON, governor of

ponents have their way she will be
ousted from office as was her husband
some years ago. They assert that Mr.
Ferguson Is really the governor and
charge the administration with waste
of public funds inefficiency of man-
agement, letting road improvement
contracts to high Instead of low bid-
ders and other thingff.
Representative A. H. King called for
a special session of the legislature to
investigate these and other charges.
Ferguson opposed it, declaring it too
expensive. King's •move has the in-
dorsement of Lee Satterwhits speak-
er of the house, who says he will re-
issue the call. While the constitution
provides that only the governor may
call special sessions for emergencies,
a statute enacted when Ferguson was
governor provides that the speaker
can call a session when Joined by 50
members for impeachment purposes,
and Satterwhite and more than 00
legislators intend to go to Austin and
investigate.
