U. S. Secretary of Agriculture
to Show Boyhood Chum He
Can Still Ride Without Pull
ing Leather, at Mandan
Round-Up, July 4.
MANDAN, N. D., May 6.- (By As
sociated Press.) . Accepting a "dare"
of a boyhood chum William "Hill"
.lardine, secretnry of agriculture has
been entered in the broncho riding
event at the third annual Mandan
roundup to be held hero July 2, 3
and 4.
Mr. Jardine "will bo able to ride as
many bronchos as you can lead be
fore him," said F. M. Russell, assis
tant secretary of agriculture, in a let
ter to John M. Stephens, superinten
dent of the United States northern
great plains field station here.
.."BUl" and John Stephens were both
born at Malad City, Idaho and grew
up together. Both punched cows as
youngsters and both developed repu
tations as "mean h ombres" with an
"outlaw." Then 'liill" went over
into western Montana and punched
cows for four years. Both gravitated
into the scientific .side of agriculture
and Stephens, prior to entering the
government service served as assis
tant to Jardine when the latter was
head of the Idaho agricultural de
part ment.
When Stephens was in Washington
recently he had a talk with his old
pal, the new secretnry of agriculture
who Informed him of his intended
tour through the west and his Inten
tion to visit the government farm at
Mandan. "Better come up at the
time of the Mandan round-up, nnd
I'll get you a tough broncho to ride,"
suggested Stephens.
"I will if I can make it." returned
Jardine. "I'll let you know." "Bet
you can't stick on an outlaw. Bet
you pull leather," dared Stephens.
"Bet I can still ride 'em straight up"
was Jardine's response.
Today Mr. Stephens made public a
letter from Mr. Russell, saying in
part: "The plan for Mr. Jardine's trip
as originally outlined, did not call for
his being in Mandan until a little
later than July 2, 3. and 4 (roundup
dates). However, I have made some
change and I believe there is every
reason to believe he will be there at
that time. The secretary has ex
pressed a very keen desire to be there
at that time and will bo ready to ride
as many bronchos as you can lead
before him."
"Will try to accommodate him,"
said I. H. Connolly, general chairman
of citizens' committee ' which stages
the rodeo annually. "He'll have plenty
of opportunity to tackle tough
horses."

Houghton spoke on his own responsi

night at the pilgrim's dinner. Presi
dent Coolldge is hopeful that the am
bassador's Interpretation of the Amer
ican attitude toward Europe wilt be

The president feels that the eco

ing. The return of England to a gold
basis and the probable early similar
action in Holland, are construed as
favorable signs pointing toward sta
bilization and recuperation on the
other slilo of the Atlantic.
This favorable outlook is regarded
by the president as important in con
sidering loans by . American bankers
to European industries or . govern
ments. He realizes however, that
American financiers must consider
the situation In each cotintry in rela
tion to that country's economic poli
cies and use discretion lnk determining
where the assistance is to bo in spec
ial ways.
Private American loans abroad, the
president believes, would be helpful
in some countries In restoring finan
cial stability and correcting exchange
questions, while In other countrios

In the light of Ambassador Hough-.

Marshal Lyautey began again in

the front to attempt to march in tho
general direction of Fez. Another na-

Tho result of tho first skirmishes,
French authorities say, shows that
Abd-El-Krlm's warriors aro little pre

peared surprised at the deadly char-
(actor of Fronch fire nnd although they
raced Oonernl Co lorn bats men cour

and fled in disorder when they saw
the effocts of French fire.
. Today's French offensive In the
DJebal Blblnf region, was Intended to
keep open the territory around tho
Fronch advanced -posts rather than to
force a decisive combat. Most of the
outposts havo now been freed from en
velopment hy the Rlfflans. It Is stat
ed that the total French losses so far
have been about half a dozen men
killed.
After receiving reports of their

Secretary of Treasury Favors
Reducing Surtax Rates to
Force Capital Out of Tax
Exempt Securities Would
Abolish Tax Exempt Secu
rities Soon As Possible.
JACKSON. Mlmt, May 5. A "low
erhiK of the maximum surtax rates
and a radical reduction In rates or
hthe elimination of the federal estato
tax," in all probability will be recom
mended to the house ways and means
""""Ittee by the treasury next fall,
secretary "Mellon declared In an ad-
'dress before members of the Missis-
slppi bankers' association today.
i The secretary said that while it
would not be appropriate for him to
jset forth a "definite program, until
tnft treasury makes its recommenda-
Uona to tno commutoe in the light of
Income then available" he felt suro
that "margin of surplus" would bo
ample for these reforms.
Tho levy of an Income tax, at pro
per rates, is a fair and economically
sound means of raising the Immense
revenues required for tho operation of
the government," Secretary Mellon
declared. "But the tax must not be
levied at rates bo high as to hamper
business, slacken Initiative, distort in
vestment and encourage avoidance of '
the tax.
"If the position of the income tax
is to bo made secure, we must pro
Herve its essential intogrity. We must
glv to the country a law which closes
tho most obvious doom of escape from
taxation, without at the samo time ex
posing tho law to contempt load-
iUMl - l"ri"-"l '"""i '''""
defectH."
In attempting reform of the law,
two courses arc open, tho secretary
pointed out.
The treasury, he said, has frequent
ly recommended to congress the
' adoption of a constitutional amend-
I ment restricting further Issue of tax
exempt securities. This, however,
can not bo countod upon for tho pres
ent, he added. '
"Personally, I fool that this Is tho
sti-ongost possible tost of whether it Is
really desired to make woalth bear its
share of tho tax burden," ho ex
plained. .. (
"All this is nocessary to closa the
door and thereby cut off tils Invent
ing avenue of escape from taxation.
Since this Is not now possible, ho con
tinued, "thero Is consequently no Im
mediate remedy for the situation
within tho power of congress except a
readjustment of the surtaxes on a
basis that will attract capital back
Into productive business and keep it
from exhausting Itself In tax exempt
securities or from taking advantage
of tha many other methods of invest
ment by which taxos are avoided."
