CURRENT
WEEK
COOLIDGE TO CUT TAXES
Decrease In Government Expense Is
Pledged - Efficiency Asked.
Washington, D. C The four years
of administration upon which Presi
dent Coolidge will enter March 4 were
dedicated by the executive Monthly
night to a reduction of the tax burden,
a decrease in federal expenditures and
"continuing pressure for economy"
within the government.
Speaking before the semi-annuul
meeting of executive and administra
tion officials of the government, Mr.
Coolidge declared that If congress sus
tained the current budget recommend
ations for expenditures, he would be
able next fall to propose a further cut
In taxes. The president expected a
surplus of $373,000,000 in the fiscal
year 1926, and on that basis, he as
serted, further tax relief should be
granted. He warned, however, that
any ntw and unnecessary expendi
tures would upset the plans of the
treasury now seemingly assured of
success.
The president also told the officials
that hereafter there must be a policy
within the government of getting more
work done with fewer workers. He
said there could be no cut in the com
pensation of the workers, and that the
only hope of reducing a payroll that
last year aggregated $1.6SO,000.000 was
to reduce the number on that pay
roll. An increasing cost of government
through natural expansion of the na
tion, the president regarded as ob
vious. He declared, however, that the
increase in governmental cost must
not advance, "dollar for dollar," with
the increasing revenues assumed to
come from increased business and em
phasized the fcicreaslng load on the
government could not be used as the
excuse for added expenditures except
where absolutely necessary.
The proceedings of the meeting of
federal officials, including the presi
dent's address, was broadcast by
radio from ten stations throughout the
country.
"We are evidently entering upon an
era of Increasing business activity and
material prosperity," said the presi
dent. "With increasing business, we
can surely depend upon increasing
revenues. I have heretofore Indicat
ed my purpose that growing revenues
shall not be absorbed in unwarranted
increases In federal expenditures. As
the country grows, an honest, reason
able Increase In cost of government
is expected. That Increase, however,
must not be timed to keep step, dollar
for dollar, with the increase in
revenue."
W. E. Humphrey Gets Federal Post.
Washington, D. C. William 'E.
Humphrey, ex-member of the house
from Washington, was nominated Mon
day by President Coolidge to be a
member of the federal trade commis
sion, succeeding Nelson B. Gaskill of
New Jersey, whose term expired sev
eral months ago.
The nomination of Mr. Humphrey
was regarded generally as the first
step in President Coolidge's contem
plated reorganization of the commis
sion, one of the three independent gov
ernment agencies in which the execu
tive plans to make administrative
changes. The others are the shipping
board and the tariff commission.

TWO LEADERS DEAD
Three of Killed Said to Belong to
Party Supporting Hooded
Knights.
Herrln, 111 With militiamen again
patrolling the streets of Herrln, order
prevailed Sunday after the latest out
break of klan and entl-klan warfare
Saturday night in which four men were
killed, including S. Glenn Young, klan
liquor raider, and Ora Thomas, deputy
sheriff, recognized outstanding lead
ers of the two factions.
The two others killed in the re
volver battle in a main-street cigar
shop were Ed Forbes and Homer
Warner, both reputed klunsmen and
companions of Young.
Young died from a bullet wound
through the heart, although he was
shot also in the right breast. These
shots, according to reports, came from
the two revolvers handled by Thomas.
When citizens entered' the cigar
shop a few minutes after an exchange
of 40 or 50 shots they found Young
dead and Warner unconscious. Thomas
slumped to the floor with bullet
wounds in his body and died on the
way to the city hospital.
Forbes lay dead on the sidewalk out
side, shot through the base of the
skull. Warner died in the hospital
about two hours later.
A company of militia, headed by
Major Robert Davis, arrived at 2 A. M.,
from Carbondale, and took charge of
the situation.
Versions of the battle vary. It is
known, however, that the shooting
took place in "the Canary cigar store
and barber shop operated in the front
of the European hotel, a reputed
rendezvous of antl-Ku Klux Klan ad
herents. Accounts agree that a shot was fired
a few minutes before the outbreak
from an alley adjacent to a restaurant
operated by Young. The bullet lodged
In a telephone pole. Ross Llzenby, a
Herrln policeman, said the shot was
fired by Thomas and directed at him.
Spectators fled and Thomas was re
ported then to have gone to the
European hotel, a block distant, as
a call was sent out for Young sym
pathizers to mobilize.
The anti-klan version is that Young
and his companions thereupon went
to the hotel to seek Thomas and
"shoot it out."
The klan account is that Young and
the others were attacked as they pass
ed by outside. Young adherents as
serted Forbes was shot from above,
because the bullet penetrated his skull
in a direction' indicating it might have
been fired from an upper window.
Major Davis late Sunday Issued an
order stopping the long procession of
curious persons passing through the
undertaking establishments to view
the bodies.
The body of Young was wrapped
in a purple robe, said to designate a
"kleagle" of the Ku Klux Klan.
Although first reports said several
bad been wounded In addition to those
killed, no others were tak'en to the
hospitals.

were handed over to Howard Carter,
the Egyptologist. Mr. Carter found
intact everything that had been seal
ed when the tomb was closed. '
The priceless pall of the sarcop
hagus, which had been left outside
the tomb in a thin wooden shed,
however, had deteriorated probably
beyond repair.

Tokio. There have been 727 deaths
in the past 20 days in Tokio from con
tagious influenza, according to an of
ficial report. An erroneous statement
published Saturday said the deaths
had numbered 4700. The alarming In

ease is attributed by officials to the
continued drouth and high winds scat
tering the dust from the area burned
after the great earthquake of Septem
ber, 1923.

Something to
Think .About
By F.J. WALKER
HELP YOURSELF
p VEKTTHI.NG beneath the sun It
available to the deserving, so
reach out your hands and help your
self. To be worthy you should be putlent,
Industrious, persevering, charltuble
toward the weuk, respectful to the
strong.
Tou must overcome foolish pride
and envy; be not afraid to soil your
hands, but a verltuble coward when It
comes to the point where you are
called upon to smudge your soul.
Go forth with a heart full of faith
and a Joyous countenance.
Do not grumble If you happen to be
In the lower ranks.
Think of the great men of today
who came up from humble places and
won distinction, whoso names are
written across the lunds and seas In
flaming letters.
Hold faith high above your head,
Let Its unfailing torch Illuminate your
path all through life, and murch on as
sured that the goal you have set your
heart upon Is Just ahead.
Do not falter If your road should be
difficult and your burden wearisome.
Difficulties are common obstacles.
No one can get anything worth while
without overcoming them.
Affluence and power have their be
ginning in small things, both capable of
being won by well-directed thought
and effort.
They belong to the capable who are
qualified to use them In the right way,
not to the doubting, Inefficient and
wavering, but to the courageous, the
steadfast, who never admit defeat nor
turn their faces In ' the darkest hour
from the sun of faith, shining always
on every cross und care.
If you would help yourself to the
best there is, keep track of your faults.
If Inclined to procrastinate, take a les
son from the tides, the revolving earth,
never delaying or hurrying.
Be methodical, even though It may
In the present doy of haste and con
fusion be considered old-fashioned.
Train your mind to remember what
your eyes see; keep your brain sensi
tized so that the Impressions made
upon It shall become permunent pic
tures to which you can turn when they
may be needed.
Only what you can recollect In the
vital moment Is of any use to you, and
In that moment, If you should fall to
remember, your whole future might be
blighted.
