Washington, Nov. u.(i)
Tax reduction "before Christmas'

Chairman llawlcy of the houtie
ways nnd means committee v.-hlc'i
must initiate legislation :o carry
out the treasury proposal for a
$16A. 000.000 revenue cut.
Hnwley said the- suggested re
duction would cost the government
only about $85,000,(100 in the cur
rent fiscal year. In the next fiscal
year, he said congress could re
enact nnother plan of temporary
reduction.
AVASHIXCTOX, Nov. 14. OP)
Tax reduction a material slash in
the Rovernment's annual nHess-
ment upon the incomes of millions
of individuals nnd business institu
tion? today was definitely nnd
imminently in prospect.
A general cut of one per cent in
the normal rate of taxation applic
able to incomes of the present cal
endar year and effective all a Ions:
the lino, from the mammoth cor
poration to the simple wage earner
whose earnings Just exceed - his
personal exemption. Is planned hy
the treasury department.
Frog-nun Drawn
A detailed program , lias been
drawn up. after a careful exami
nation of the many factors which
control government revenues nnd
expenditures and, with the appro
val of President Hoover, will he
recommended, to congress for im
mediate action when the national
legislature meets, next - month in
regular session.
All this wuh rovealed by Keore
tnry Mellon in a statement pub
lished today and Issued after , a
series of conferences with his
ranking lieutenants In the depart
ment and with President Hoover.
The desire Of Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Mellon for tax (reduction has j
been well known for many months
hut in their own view n detcrniln- j
ation of the effect of "many clr-
oumstanecs, upon the nations fi
nances was necessary before action
could be taken.
Although saying that complete
estimates of government needs as
compared with prospective gov
ernment revenues were not yet
available, Mr. Mellon, In a state
ment, asserted that the study of
the situation had progressed to
such nn extent that a recommen
datfon for tax reduction could be
made.
Iltislnoss Prosperous
"The Indications are that busi
ness profits, dividends, interest
and wage payments In 1929 will
considerably exceed those of the
year 1 JH'S," 'ho said. "Our esti
mates indicate (hat the govern
ment should close both the fiscal
years of 1930 nnd 1931 with a
surplus. Tnkinc nil factors Into
consideration, the secretary of the
treasury, with the npproval of the
president, will recommend tax re
duction to the congivss."
Congressional leaders In charge
of revenue legislation gave their
tentative approval to the reduction
proposal nt conference with Mel
lon late yesterday.

The youth first insisted he was

"Well, I'm Landis," he finally

A man got shot.' I think it was in
a drug store. I threw nwny one of

The Southern Pacific today re-J

porting the petitions of the latter
roads to build n 2U0 mile railroad '
in California. The purpose of the j
proposed line is to link the two
systems and thereby open new

I rail route.

E. J. -Foulds, Southern Pacific

Hurry M. Adams, of the Western
Pacific,, In crogs examination, the
statement that the "Shasta arbi
trary" might lie removed by the
Southern Pacific - without the ne
cessity of building a new line from
California into the north. He re
ferred to the charge of $18 to $24
applied by the Southern Pacific
on tianf continental fares ' coining
Into California from Portland to
San .Francisco. . The charge Is an
mid it ion to the rate charged by
central nnd southern routes across
the country.
Fotilds also drew from Adonis
the admission that the San Frnn-
I Cisco-Port land route over the
. Western Pacific nnd Great Nor
I thern lines would bo about 106
miles lunger than the Southern
Pacific routes between those
points. Adams added, however,
that the Western Pacific anil the
Great Northern . will match the
running time of the Southern Pa
cific between Portland and. San
Francisco.
The Western Pacific president i
said his company would start run
ning one train daily each way as

As the result of the efforts of
approximately 125 Mottford busi
ness men and employes,, who hove
takm tlme off from dutlea at com
sltfrrfthle' xpehse' in some caKes,
the Community Chest drive, which
opened, yesterday, today had a tf

130S donors, leaving ovur $7000 to
be collected before the drive can
he called a complete success. The
solicitors were (dill In the field to
day and plan to ho until every pe.'
son. who has not 'contributed, has
been reached.
. The chest solicitors were of the
opinion that the public was not en
tirely acquainted with the merits
of phest work and refrained In
some coses from giving, even
though some individuals prided
themselves on many personal lux
uries nnd then were reluctant to
donate to a cause which places
food In the mouths of the hungry,

stricken, provides shoes for th"
barefoot, care for penniless depend

funds for such worthy causes as
the Health association. Jackson

The Red Cross and the Salvation
Army are included and It is their
burden to provide for the needy
and destitute from funds provided
them from the chest.
C'lto ICxn tuples.
Severn! examples of work done
by the chest were brought out In
the, discussion, which tvas led by
Hamilton Patton. chairman of the
drive, and one included n destitute
family living in the east side of
Medford. -
Their clothes were mnde over
"from father's old pants nnd old
coat," with safety pins and tueks
in prominence.
Investigation of the family re
vealed that their home was in a
joiiMI shack a hovel that hardly
contained the hare necessities of
life. The family did not possess
a tea kettle and were forced to
use boxes when eating about a table
that boasted of no fitting nourish
ment for growing hoy and girl.
When relief workers questioned
one of the children why an appeal
to charity had not been mud be
fore, the little fellow answered:
"Papa didn't want it to get out
how poor we are."
Work on Oiho.
However, the Red Cross and th
Kilvntion Army iu now working
on the t-ftse and there are oth'r
rases similar to It In Medford. nnd
the benefit they will receive from

various speakers.

the red HpUlovhud steadily . In
creased' "fir tho "orchards of the
three - Pacific coast states, . until
now drchhrdlsta faced a long fight
for Its control. The red spider,
he and other speakers declare,
has a preference for Rose, and
D'AnJou varieties of pears. L'bc
ot oil sprays, in tho summer
months, to combat the pest was
urged, und weed control and gen
eral cleaning of the orchurds. in
the remaining months, ns a pre
ventive measure was recommend
ed. Dust and noxious growths,
were named as breeding places of
the red spider.
Reports wero made to 1 show,
that in the past 10 years, the red
spider had shown a steady In
crease. A (I viKn tea K pro y s,
Robert Norris of the Southern
Oregon Fx4ertment station at Tal
ent, in reply to queries, sold that
two oil sprays should he used lu
battling tho red spider; the flrsi
to be applied, about June 10, and
the second early in July. This
was the period In which the red
spider flourished', and reached Its
peak of destrttctlveness. The spider
eggs were distributed In the spring
also, hut the damage was mild.
Court Hall told the gathering
that his observation had shown
that the spider operated chiefly
on the Hose and D'AnJou varieties
and that the Cornice for some un
explained reason, were unbothered,
Pert Anderson asked If therj
was an enemy insect for the
spider and li. W. Carlo ton sug
gested that the weeds along thy
orchard fences be sprayed with
a .powerful oil, as a precautionary
measure. J. A. Perry felt that
alfalfa and other covet crops were
nesting places of the spider,
' Counter-acting parasites, weed
spruy and cover crops, other
speakers thought were Important
angles of the spider war.
Thera was a general and spirited
discussion of the red spider men
ace, and (he glt of It all was
that orchurdlsts should use, nn oil
spray, during the summer months,
nnd the rest of the year wage a
constant war.
The red spider operates on the
