A Sid Error, The lives of many are ruined by the fut til delusion that the more one pes sesses the more one enjoys Boston Kvenlng Transcript, The bill, which decreases tax rules In most instances to the lowest levels since 1917 and which was the basis of the hotest legislative fight of the pres ent session of congress, was declared by tho president In a 2500-word state ment issued incident with his approval of tho measure to represent merely "tux reduction, not tax reform." "The bill does not represent a sound permanent tax policy and In Its pas sago has been subject to unfortunate Influence which ought not to control fiscal questions," the executive said "Htill, In splto of its obvious defects, s advantages as a temporary rell and a temporary adjustment of husl ness conditions, in view of the unco talntly of a better law within a reason able time, lends mo to believe that the best Interests of tho counry would bo subserved if this bill becumo law. "A correction of lis defects may be left to tho next session of tho con gross. I trust a bill less polltlcul and more truly economic may be passed at that lime. To that end I shall bend all my energies." Tho legislation as approved by th president reduces tho taxes of almost very federul taxpayer and cuts down he federal reveuues by an amount estimated at $M1,000,000 for the next fiscal year. This reduction, however, will not result In any deficit, accord Ing to treasury experts. The prlnelpul effect of tho new law will not bo felt until next year, the 5( per cent reductions In Income tuxes being mado applicable to Incomes ol his year, but payablo in 1925. Imme Hate relief, however, Is granted every incomo taxpayer, as a 25 per cent ecrense Is ordered In the cuso of In (ime taxes for tho current year and ow due. Persons who are paying Ihli ur's incomo taxes on tho Installment lan may cut their second payment ue Juno 15, by one-half and thei ther.two installments by oncfourll: ach. Thoso who already have puli heir Incomo taxes In full will get a re fund without applying for It. Another effect that soon will bo up preclablo Is the provision of the nov, law repealing within 30 dnys mnni xclso taxes such as thoso on tele graph and telephotio messages, sot Irlnks, candy, carnets. ruus. trunk ml theater admissions of 50 cents or less. The revision of tho Incomo tax rates ffected under tho new law brings r. ut In all such levies. This amount o 50 per cent reduction on Incomes of JSilOO and under. On nmounts'ubov hut die normal rale Is cut from 8 ti per cent, while the surtax rales an vised on a similar basis. Tho new surtax schedulo starts will I per cent on 110,000 and eruduutes p to 10 per cent on $500,000 nnd over A new feature written into the legislation ut the recommendation of Secretary Mellon, who Initialed tin eve fur tux revision last September. provides for an additional reduction of per cent on earned incomes up tt Jio.ono with all Incomes of f5000 and under classed us earned. Approval was given by the presl lent In the measure exactly one week o the hour from the time he received It after almost unanimous final ucllon y the house and somite. The presl nt acted after study of a lengthy port made on the bill by the treasury lopnrtnn-nt and after several confer nces wllh Secrelary Mellon, to whose rlglnal plan for lux revision he had Iveu his support nnd Indorsement.

C Japan's "solemn protest" against the exclusion section of the new Immigration law was form :illy presented to Secretary Hughes Saturday by Ambassador Hanlhara, and was mude public at the state d partment without comment. Coupled with the protest was the request of the Japanese government hut the American government "take all possible and suitable measures for removul of discrimination. Tho communication declared Inter national discriminations are purlieu larly "unwelcome" when "based on race," and added that discrimination of that character is expressed In the exclusion statute. Tho history of commercial agree ments between the two countries, it was declared, showed that the Jap anese government has sought to -pro led Its nationals from "dlscrimina- ory Immigration legislation in th iiineu mines, wnicn position was fully understood and appreciated by he Amerlcun government." "The Japanese government desires now lo point out," said the note, "that he new legislation is In entire dis regard of the spirit and circumstances that underlie tho conclusion of the reaty (of 1911)." It was added that tho provisions of ho uew law "have mado It Impossible (or Jiipun to continue tho undertakings ssumed under the gentlemen's agree ment." Tho rntlent, loyal and scrupulous bservanco by Jupan for more than It! urs of these self-denying regula tions. In the InlerAt of good Ma- loin between tho two countries, now seems to have been wasted." the uro- est continued.

O- Have You This Habit? By Margaret Morison APPRECIATION 'TMIE most vivid remembrance of Adum llverymun's childhood was the melancholy occasion, the climax of many other such occasions, on which his mother, breaking down und ween ing, had expressed the resentment of years of married life us she cried to his father, 'if you only didn't always tune tilings fur grunted !" When Adum grew up he promised himself that at leust he would never give his wife that cuuse for bitterness. So during his early married life he made a point of seeing and appreciat ing her efforts and sacrifices. The years passed. When the eldest of their three children was fifteen, Adam realized that their actuul in come, though omple, wus not equal to the Income he had planned for this pohft when contemplating matrimony. Then one evening he pursued what now was his custom, und retired Im mediately after dinner with his news paper and his clgnr to the room that was called his "den." Contrary to custom his wife followed him. Then he knew suddenly how much water had flowed under the bridge since they lied been married. For to her new dress that she had made herself, and to the fact that this wus the anniver sary of their wedding to all this he had been dully blind. He asked him self if a little appreciation might not help all round. The next morning at the office Adam found his best salesman waiting for him. He made a point of mentioning an Intelligent piece of business of the preceding month. The man looked pleased, but It was only later that Adam learned that this expression of appreciation had actually Influenced the man not to accept the offer of a change from another firm. That same day Adum took pnlns to thank a cus tomer for prompt payments, and the next morning a new order came In the mall. On another evening at home his smull hoy brought In a good report from school. When Adam put his pleasure Into words bis son looked sur prised, but the next month there was n better report still. He became con scious above all of what life would have been to him without his home, and of the Impossibility of his home without his wife's dull dully routine. after that there was no question of his appreciation, and with appreciation It seemed ns If a miracle had hap penedso stimulating and successful was his work, so happy anil full of pleasant possibilities his family. ine cause of the war among nations and of friction amonf Individuals Is egoism, and Adam Kverymnn had ills-' covered one of the hnblts that save from egoism the, habit of apprecia tion.
