Instead of having a deficit of
approximately, $S0;000 on Janu
ary 1, 192", as estimated by Sain
A. Kozer, secretary off state, at
hte time of adopting the tax levy
for the year,-192 6, there will be
a surplus of $7980.82. according
to a statement issued here yes
terday by Governor Pierce.
"I agree with the other mem
bers of the state tax commission,
read the governor's statement,
"that the amount of revenue to
be raised.'; for state purposes for
the year 1926, within the six per
cent limitation amendment, should
be fixed at $2,038,341.27, which
is a six per cent increase in this
item over the amount raised for
the year 1925.
"I object, however, to the es
timated receipts from all sources'
during 1926 being estimated at
$1,450,000. I believe that this
estimate will be exceeded by more
SIP
Jrf ing the past five years the receipts
ifj have . been .under-estimated, often
by many thousands of dollars.
'One year ago the state tax
commission estimated the re
ceipts for 1925 at $1,900,000.
The state actually collected $2,
299,675,49. It is fair to assume
that "with the increase In popula

there will be an increase over the
amount collected in 1925 of! 10

from which source during 1925
hte state derived-$753, 194.51. It
is safe to estimate that there will
be collected in 1926 from this
source approximately $100,000.

'This would leave a balance in

the statement. "Instead of a de

latter amount if the people at the

"These laws would go into ef

REDUCTION OF SHIPS ON

PLAN OF GOVERNMENT TO

Progress f Northwest Shipping
Would Be Greatly Hapipcrcd
By Change
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. (By
Associated Press. ) Protests were
made today to President Coolidge
and Chairman O'Connor of the
shipping board by Senator Jones,
republican, Washington, against
the war department plan to take
over as army transports two of
the five passenger cargo ships op
erated by the Admiral Oriental
line from Seattle to the Far East.
Inhis letter to the president
the chairman of the senate com
mittee said it had been brought
to his attention that Colonel H.' C.
Smither, chief coordinator for the
government property under the
budget, had made a preeniptory
demand upon the shipping board
to turn over the two ships to the
war department jwithin four days. ,
"I cannot conceive of any action
that would be more disastrous or
cause more apprehension upon the
part of the Deople of the north-'
rrnrao tbi action." Senator
Jones wrote. "These ships are on
developing commes-
cial'.usiness "between the north
west and the orient. To take two
of them .off diminishes the ser
vice by almost half.
"The building up of our com
merce in time of peace, it seems
to me is of far greater importance
than furnishing exceptional trans
portation service for the army.
There are many merchant ships
tied up in the harbors of this
country that could soon be fitted
up for transports for the army
and serve it-well in time of peace.
I want to appeal to you as
earnestly as I possibly can in the
interest of the northwest, in the
interest of the development of
commerce, and in the interest of
an American merchant marine to
see that this request is with
drawn." 1
Writing to chairman O'Connor
Senator Jones expressed earnest
hope that the shipping board
would take the same course on
this request that it did in refus
ing a war department request
some time ago that two ships
from the Tan-America line he
turned over to it for use as, trans
ports. Colonel Smither in a letter to
the board made public today re
ferred to the proposed sale of the
Admiral Oriental line and said
he believed two of its ships should
be transferred to the war depart
ment rather than turned over to
private citizens- ,

WORK STARTS MONDAY
More Than 20 Hours of Debate
Places Matter Firmly Before
House; General Endorse

WASHINGTON', Dec. 12. (By
Associated Press.) The $323,-
000,000 tax reduction bill reached
the test stage in the house today
and on Monday some of its major
provisions v. ill be taken up for
approval.
- More than 20 hours of debate
on the measure this week develop-
ed general endorsement trom both
democrats and republicans but the
bill faces at least a dozen amend
ments, which will be offered next
week on vial points.
Sponsors of the measure, which
was framed by the ways and means
committee, predicted today, how
ever, that it would be approved
by the house before the end of
next week and practically without
change.
The non-partisan character of
the bill has won support for it
during the long debate from both
sides of the chamber.
Scattering opposition appeared
to be proposed from 50 per cent
reductions in the maximum sur
tax and inheritance tax rates.
Fights against these two and the
tax board provisions are expected j
to constitute the most serious op
position when the bill is taken up
Monday for amendments.
The opposition apparently isj
not organized on pary lines against
any of the provisions and repre
sentative Green, republican. Iowa,
chairman of the ways and means
committee, and Representative
Garner of Texas, ranking demo
crat on the committee were pre
pare:! tonight to lead the fight
for complete approval of the com
promise measure.
Debate was efltlveriga today by
another attack on the -movement
instituted , by the Texas and Iowa
ta?, clubs' tot repeal of the federal
inheritance tax" levy.
Representative Coually, demo
crat, Texas, charged that the clubs
had been organized In the two
states by the American Bankers'
league, which he Bald had been
repudiated by the American
Rankers' association "for the pur
pose of intimidating the heads of.
the ways ami means committee.

The league hoped, he declared,
eventually, to destroy all inheri

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. ( By
Associated press.) The Gridiron
club of Washington newspaper
corresponents, givine their reg
ular dinner tonight "grilled"'
public men and affairs at home
and abroad for the amusement
of a large company of notables
headed by President Coolidge.
The entertainment had distinct
ly a congressional flavor, designed
to fit in with the reassembling of.
congress, but in addition to dom
estic affairs, the Gridironers found
time to have some fun with the
foreign debt situation, the Kar
olyi case and other topics of the
day's news.
The usual distinguished com
pany of officials, diplomats, busi
ness and industrial captains, men
of affairs, newspaper correspond
ents and authors enjoyed the fun.
Vice president Dawes found
himself likened to Macbeth. He
made the boast that the senators
opposed the revision of the sen
ate rules would'"squak and gibber
in their leathern seats" ere he
was done. The vice president
as well. To Jhe air of "AH Alone,"
he was pictured as leading the
fight to put an end to all senate
"bunk."
One of the picturesque events'
I was uie nevou oi me .Tianuiienes.
Four in number, they entered the
hall to the cadence of "The March
of the Toys." Beginning a discus-
i sion of ventriloquism, they de
clared Colonel William Mitchell
was no ventriloquist, because he
could not control his voice.- Sen
ator Borah of Idaho, on the other
hand, was described as a ventril
oquist, because "he speaks with
many voices'." One marionette re
called that during the French war
debt negotiations Senator Reed
j Smoot of JJtah was inclined to put
his feet on the conference table
"Why didn't the French leave
some cash in onr counting table?"
asked one marionette.
"Itecause," came the prompt re
sponse, "the senator's feet were
in the way.""
Recognlnzing criticisms Of Sec
retary Wilbur. three' members
dressed as sailors, declared as
drums rumbled that bed-time
stories never made the navy great,
but urged their guests not to di
vulge the confidence to the Sec
retary or he would send them to
far-off Guam.
A new method was employed by
the club in introducing distin
quished guests. Two members,
one in a "hick" costume and car
rying a carpet bag. posing as a
new congressman, and the other
in a cutaway and high silk fiat as
a new senator, asked permission
to see the leaders in public life
and guests were asked to stand
when theif irames were called.
The congressman evidenced '.sur-.
prised when advised that Senator
William M. Butler and Frank W.
Stearns, personal friends of the
president, c were carpenters and
had carried tools Into the, execu
tive offices. His inquiries result
ed in Herbert Hoover, secretary of
commerce, being asked to arise
also. Then he was told, that Sen
ator Butler and Mr. Stearns saw
Mr: Hoover grab the patent office
and the bureau of mines and that
they decided to nail down the
White House for Mr. Coolidge be
fore he. got that too.
, Attention also was given to the
supposed presidential aspirations
of other distinguished guests, ia
