THE PRESIDENT
Mr. Coolidge, in Address at
Chicago Favors Co-operative
Marketing As Best So
lution of Farmer's Problem
Opposed to Govt. Subsidy.
CHICAGO. Dec. 7. (A. P.) Con
vinced that co-operative- marketing
with governmental encouragement Is
the best solution of the farmers' prob
lem, President Coolidge intends to
.'?ivc the movement his active and
energetic assistance. He is opposed
to proposnis that the government sell
and buy farm products, or fix prices
directly or indirectly. Further, ho be
lieves present tariff duties benefit the
farmer and should not be revised.

TAX CUT IS
INTRODUCED
House Bill Introduced As First
Business of New Session of
Congress Measure Re
duces 1925 Income Tax By
Over 100 Millions Demo
crats Agree With Main Items
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. (A.P.)
Tho new revenue bill, proposing a
slashing of $825,736,000 In taxes dur
ing the next calendar year and pro
viding relief for virtually every fed
eral tnxpayer was reported to tho
house today as the first legislative
business presented to the new con
gress. In presenting the report of the ways
and means committee which drafted
the measure during a seven weeks'
pre-congreBS session. Chairman Green
served notice that he would ask the
house to take it up tomorrow under
the plnn to send it to the senate be
fore the second week of the session.
A saving of J103.175.000 to income
taxpayers on taxes payable next year
is the principal relief proposed by the
bill, and leaders of both the house and
senate set March 1 as the goal of the
enactment of the measure into law so
that this benefit may be tiiken ad
vantage of In the payment of first in
stallments of the Income tax duo
March 15. .
Although unanimously ordered re
ported to the house by the ways and
means committee the report on the
1)111 contained separate statements of
additional views by Representative
Ralncy of Illinois and Hull of Ten
nessee, democratic members "of the
committee.
Chairman Green's report for the
committee explained in detail the re
. -. . ,., oa m.-ll
."." . , "
administrative provisions of - the
law and set forth the principles which
guided the committee.
It was manifestly. Impossible, tne
I Hons asked: but tho committee had
first determined the total amount or
tax reduction In revenues which could
properly be made, proceeded to appor
tion the benefits of such reduction not
only among the tax payers whose need
of relief seemed greatest, but where
It appeared It would be made with the
least disadvantage to the government:
but as fnr as possible to so distribute
them to bring the maximum good to
all of our people.
No Partisan Division.
On none of the votes taken by the
committee on provisions of the bill
did they divide on partisan lines said
Mr. Green and In this respect he said
"tho bill sets an example for further
financial legislation."
Both Mr. Rnlney and Mr. Hull
praised the general provisions of the
measure but both took exception to
the provisions providing smaller per
sonal exemptions and cutting the sur
tax rate from 40 to 20 per cent. They
proposed Instead that the present ex
emptions be retnlned. lesser cuts .be
made on the higher surtaxes and all
the war excise and special taxes be re
pealed. .Mr. Rnlney proposed a maximum
surtnx of 30 per cent and Mr. Hull one
of 2 5 per cent.
Tho bill cuts the normal tax rate
from two to one and one-half per
cent on the first $540,000 of taxable
Income, from four to three per cent
on tho next $40,000 nnd from 6 to 6
per cent on the remainder of Income,
While cutting the maximum surtax
from 4 0 to 20 per cent tho reductions
on other brackets of the gratluaiea
surtax scale which Btarts at one per
cent on $10,000, arc made only on
those involving Incomes of $42,000
and over. '
All Taxpayers Helped.
"An examination will show," Mr.
Orcen's report said, "that all classes
or Income tax payers have deceived a
substantial reduction; that the grad
uations In rates are as regular as is

ANTI-TOXIN FOR
CANCER MAY BE
A GENUINE CURE
English Physicians So Hopeful
That New Laboratory Will
Be Built for Doctors Joyce
and Barnard Still Too
Early to Be Sure,
LONDON, Dec. 7. (A. P.) The
medical research council attaches such
value to the Investigations of Dr. W. K.
Uye and J. K. Barnard Into Inocula
tion with cancer germs for a cure .of
the disease that It Is having a new
laboratory built for their Bpecial use
at Mill Hill. Middlesex.
It Is asserted that. Dr. Clye and Mr.
Barnard are continuing with success
their recent discovery and details nf
the investigations and study, of Mr.
Barnard's methods, which led to the
finding of the ultra-microscopic organ
ism of cancer by means of invisible
ravs are soon to he published.
It is understood that chickens nnd
even mammals have been Inoculated
with the cancer germ by Dr. Gye and
shortly afterward have developed the
disease. Other mammals Inoculated
with the dead organisms were rend
ered Immune to subsequent Inocula
tions with live bacteria.
The Dally Mail says that several
laboratory workers under Dr. Gve and
Mr. Barnard have undergone Inocula
tions with cancer germs and that
these germs with which Immunization
Is being effected are not dead organ
Isms but living ones,, separated from
their chemical agents by the two sci
entists. The newspaper adds that the
results of these Inoculations have been
so successful that In no ense either
the lower animal or the human has
cancer developed, notwithstanding the
fact that subsequent Inoculation was
made tn Individual cases with the
cancer germ plus Its chemical agents.
Mr. Barnard told the Dally Mnll thst
the recent work was promising but
that It would be premature lo assert
that a successful method of Immuniz
ing human beings to cancor had been
evolved.
