NEW FISCAL YEAR WAITED
Disapproval of Administration Pro
gramme Indicated Proposed
Law Changes Xot Revealed.
WASHINGTON, June 19. Hope for
a reduction in taxes is .held out by
Representative Mondell of Wyoming,
republican leader of the house, in a
statement prepared for the final issue
Monday of the Congressional Record
and made publio tonight.
"We shall enter the new session of
congress in December and the new
congress in. March," said Mr. Mon
dell's statement, "with the way opened
for a substantial reduotion of the tax
burdens."
The republican leader said reduc
tions would not be possible until after
the close of the fiscal year which be
gins next month.
The proposed changes in the tax
laws also were not revealed by Mr.
Mondell. although he Indicated his
disapproval of the administration pro
gramme for the discard of the excess
profit levies. .
Big Reduction Expected.
He contended that such action at
this time would mean a "shifting of
burdens from large incomes and prof
Its to Hie small and normal Incomes
and profits."
No hope for a return to pre-war ex
penditures and appropriations was ex
pressed by the repuDiiean leader, al
though he predicted that for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1921, a reduc
tion "by upwards of J 1.000.000,000"
would be effected, making the annual
government expenses approximately
$3,260,000,000. Fewer government em
ployes and smaller appropriations
for the army and navy were cited
by Mr. Mondell as possibilities ror re
ductions alter July 1. 1921.
Surplus Is Held Likely.
Mr. Mondell estimated that for the
fiscal year beginning naxt month
' government revenues would exceed
expenses by at least tl. 046,604. 720, un
less "unusual expenditures not con
templated by congress" are made. This
expected surplus, the republican leader
said, was due to economies by con
gress in the recent session when
f4.373.395.2SO was provided for the
year's expenses. In determining the
surplus, Mr. Mondell said he accepted
the most conservative estimate of rev
enues made by the treasury, or a total
Of $5,420,000,000.
The inbomled. war debt was placed
at 3. 260.000. 000 by Mr. Mondell who
said it was a "continual menace," but
when reduced by the anticipated sur
plus would bring the country "within
reaching distance of reductions of the
burdens of taxation."

The High Prices of Clothing
Make Smaller Profits .
a Necessity
This store has been operating on a mighty small margin of profit, but owing
to high priced conditions prevailing we have decided to meet conditions by
marking Chesterfield Clothes at a still smaller margin of profit than we have
been charging.
Of course, to make this lower price possible we must increase our volume.
We think the public will appreciate our efforts to give them all that is possible to give in
clothes values, and favor us with their liberal patronage so we may be able to continue the
low prices we now make.
We are going to take our $50 Suits and make them $40. We are going to take our $60 Suits
and make them $50. We are going to take our $65 and $70 Suits and mark them $60. We are
going to take our $75 and $80 Suits and make them $70. We will take our $90 to $100 Suits
and make them $80

Don't let anything prevent your seeing this one. A positive Knockout! . Far outdoes
anything in Doug's past record. He took terrific chances in its making, being four
times injured. An astounding mixture of thrills and laughs. Picture cost a fortune.
See Doug picked up at sea in a net with tons of fish; the fight with the diamond
smuggler; the avalanche and hair-breadth escape of Doug and several players from
instant death. From Monte Carlo to Arizona's Hopi Indian Reservation and tough
goin all the way. It's Unbeatable! Youll Say So.
