Washington, D. C. President Cool
idge Monday night officially announc
ed the possibility of an immediate re
ductlon in income taxes of $300,000,
000 or more on the basis of economies
already effected and called for
further reduction in the cost of gov
eminent which will make possible still
further tax lowering.
This welcome news to all who pay
taxes, directly or indirectly, was con
tained in a 25-minute talk which Mr
Coolidge, as head of the business the
business of governing this country of
ours made to serverul hundred de
partment and bureau chiefs, telling
them how to manage the affairs of the
national corporation so as to yield the
highest dividends of prosperity and
welfare to the 115,000,000 stockhold
ers.
While the government, administra
tors must do all that is possible to
cut down the cost of government, the
biggest economies that could be ef
fected lio with the people, Mr. Cool
idge said, referring to the encroach
ment of the federal government upon
li cal self-government, resulting in "a
double burden of taxation" federal
taxes for donations to tho states and
state taxes "to meet the extravagance
of stale expenditures which are includ
ed by the federal donations."
Total public expenditures in this fis
cal year, ending June 30, next, are
$3,035,000,000, compared with $5,1111,
000,000 iii 1921, while the public debt
has been reduced from $23,977,000,000
lo 120,561,000,000. That retrenchment
the president pronounced unparalleled
in history. It has made it possible to
lighten the tax burden materially al
ready, and yet it cannot be said that
luxes have l eased to he a burden, the
president said.
The aim of the government, Mr.
Coolidge declared, must be to reach
the point where taxes cease to be a
burden. He estimated the surplus for
ths fiscal year tit $200,000,000 and
for the next fiscal year at $290,000,-
000, and said he would recommend to
congress a reduction of taxes.
The orderly funding and rapid re
tirement of our war dept were dwelt
on by the president. He pointed out
thai we are now paying $130,000,000
less interest than four yean ago and
of Ibis amount $30,000,000 is due to
the lower Interest rates we now pay
on borrowings as the result of im
proving our credit "Pretty good pay
tor :i sound policy," Mr. Coolidge dry
ly retnariced of that $130,000,000.
SINCLAIR VICTOR
Log Rate Probe Likely.
Washington, D. C. -- The United
Stales tariff commission will continue
its consideration of ti proposal that
it send a committee to either Seattle
or Portland to hear the views of lum
ber interests of the northwest upon a
proposed change of the tariff on logs.

commission was considering the ques
tion of hearings on the log tariff, it
became known here that northwest-
rn mills are in sharp conflict over
the duties now In effect. A Dumber

Unproved.
DENBY'S ACTION 0. K.
Every Major Charge of Government
Crushed. Fall Loan "Suspic
ious" Judge Holds
Cheyenne, Wyo. Teapot Dome
rightfully belongs to Harry F. Sin
clair's Mammoth Oil company, T.
Blake Kennedy, United States district
judge, decided here Friday.
Government charges of collusion,
scandal and fraud in the leasing or
the dome by Secretary of the Interior
Fall to the Mammoth company were
buried deep under a voluminous legal
decision, when Judge Kennedy com
pletely upheld every act In the pro
cess which resulted in the granting of
the big Wyoming oil field concession
to Sinclair.
Beaten, but not ready to quit, coun
sel for the government, Albert D. Wal
ton, United States district attorney,
announced after the decision that an
ippoal would be taken.
Judge Kennedy's decision contend
ed:
That the executive order signed
May 31, 1921, by President Harding
transferring the naval oil reserves
from the jurisdiction of the navy de
partment to that of tho interior de
partment was legal and not obtained
from the chief executive by fraud.
That an act of congress of Juno 4,
1920, under which the lease and other
negotiations were consummated, cloth
ed the secretary of the navy with full
power to do everything that was done
In negotiating the naval oil leases.
That the "loan" of $25,000 by Sin
ctair to rati in June, 1923, was a
suspicious circumstances," but that
tho ready explanation given by Sin
OlelT's attorney, J. W. Zevely, to a
senate investigation committee and
the lack of evidence that any attoaint
at secrecy was made over the trans
action gave It the badge of a legiti
mate transaction. That the govern
ment's allegations of fraud had not
been sustained.
Every major allegation made by the
government was crushed under the
derision. Judge Kennedy near the end
of tho decision said:
In reaching a conclusion in this
case, we fullv realize the degree of un
popularity with which it will bo re
ceived. This is true in the nature of
things, because the great general pub
lic is reached only with the sensation
al features surrounding the transac
tions involved, and is laregly In the
dark to all the other multitude of
circumstances with which the case is
surrounded and knows perhaps less
of the great legal principles which the
experience of the ages has taught
mankind must control In dealing with
the rights of persons and properly."
