TAX REDUCTION
BILL COMPLETED
Coalition Measure Ready
After Grammatical Chore
.. For Presentation
WASHINGTON, Nor. 23. The
coalition tax reduction bill ha been
completed In the house way and
means committee. Except for a
little grammatical polishing the new
bill, releasing 1,000 Individuals
from the unpleasant chore of, pay
ing Income taxes, and decreasing the
burden on everyone elae, Is ready
for presentation upon the convening
ot congress. This measure Is unique
because It Is a coalition bill, having
the support of Influential democrat
as well a the republican majority.
Some warm political debate 1 In
evitable when tbe bill comes up,
but because of the steam roller
mulhuds pbsaible under the strict
house ruins, and because of the coal
ition support, the tax bill will hard
ly suffer the loss of even a tail
fet ther on its swift trip through the
chamber.
But the senate Is yet to be reck
oned with, and many changes will
be made there. Next the scrambled
measure will fall Into the clutches
of the all-powerful conference com
mittee, which will decide with fi
nality upon the tax provisions! Its
decisions rarely are over-ridden by
either house. Until this conference
bill I finished, It would, be prema
ture to begin figuring up the next
income taxes.

City Attorney Classes As
Bad Faith Repudiation
By Banking House
After J. H. Carnahan, local city
attorney, had scored the American
National bank of Klamath Fall,
for Its failure, because of alleged
Irregularities, to purchase approxi
mately 1140,000 worth of city Im
provement bond, after Its bid had
been accepted, the city council," at
It regular meeting lost night,
eventually voted favorably on tbe
second highest bid that of Ralph
Schnellock and company, Lumber
man's Trust company, and other, '
of Portland.
Conncilmen said that the differ-,
ence In bids will cost the city ap
proximately $4,200 end, regarding
the bank's action, Mr. Carnahan
aid he regretted "if wonld not be
expedient to attempt to hold the
bank to Its bid.".
He added:
"Since competent bond attorneys
are passing the legality of- these
Issues it Is nothing short ot an act
of bad faith. In my opinion, . for
the bank to look to this pretext
to avoid compliance with Its bid.
The bid made by the bank sped-,
tied that the transcript must receive
the approving opinion of the bank's
attorney. This has been withheld .
by a local -attorney selected by the
bank." . .
The Schnellock bid, acceptance
of which was recommended by the
city attorney. Is five and three
fourths per cent, with a premium
ot 1100.60 for each S100 worth
ot bonis. The Issue is to be re
tired within ten years time.
In hie communication to the
council, Mr. Carnahan referred In
a vitriolic manner to the move ot

torneys, In what he termed their
advice to the bank.
