Of course our policy for Spring 1924 will be that so heartily ap-

maximum and Representative Gamer.
Texas author of the Democratic tax
plan which reduces a surtax minimum
only to 44 per cent reiterated that his
party will support his proposals vig
orously.
The Democrats also are counting on
support from the Republican insur-
gents who have declared opposition
to the Mellon rates.
Reduction of the surtax maximuni to
25 per cent was advocated ns being
necessary to the "integrity and future
of the whole income tax” in a letter
received by Chairman Green from
Prof. Thomas S. Adams of Yale who
declared a cut to 44 or 40 per cent
will be "useless.” Professor Adams
who served as tax adeiser to the
Treasury Department from 1917 to
1921 while the income tax plan was
getting under way. also advocated tax-
ation of state and municipal securi-
ties.

Fire razed a three-room shack sit-
uated in the brush in the 200 block

An rirest has boon made.
The house was in flnmes when th“
nlnr a was sounded. Assistant Chief

that stretched 2000 feet of hise in an
effort to save the place. It was burned
to the ground when the first drop of
