PROPOSAL FOR TAX REBATE

_ WASHINGTON, November 7——(ll’)'
—The White house plan for a tcn{
percent tax refund was deseribed
at the treasry today as Presidcntl
Coolidge’s own idca, uninspired by
Secretary Mellon, but regarded by‘
.treasur.y‘”offi'cials as unlikely to
cause serious cn!bai*mss..::cnt to the
government’s fiscal pwlicies.
. At the same time it developed that
if accepted by Cnngrc.ss, the presi
dent’s proposal probably would take |
the form of an early spring ban-t
quet to the tax payer and not a
(Christmas present.
The treaciry thinks it would be
easier and just as satisfactory to
make the deduction as a credit on

and means to fight the power trust's
;organized opposition lere,
“We feel that labcr's interest was
mainly responsible for Crisp county’s
fifteen hundred votes. We did not
believe it possible to get all of our
votes out hecause there was no local
interest in the eclection, therecfore, we |
did not make public our indorsement
in the newspapers, as we knew the
“money power’” here would point to
the small Crisp amendment vote as
a weakness of the locay lahor vote,
“The citizens generally did not
seem to turn out at the polls, "~ We
do not believe it possibie to Lind five
thousand registered voters in Chat
ham county who voted against Crisp
county and the masses as the total
clection returns sowed.
“Organized labor of Savannah and
Chatham county is at the services of
the masses of Crisp county.”

signg her name but requests that it
not be divulged, writes as follows:
“I read with a great deal of inter
est, your exposure of politics in Chat

of the word. [ had made it my busi
ness vesterday to consuit with a few
friends abcut the very large vote
cast in Savannah, when as a matter
of fact there were a very few pcople
who did vote. 1 have and do take a
great interest in clean politics, hut
the kind we have here is just about
ready to get me disgusted,
“1 live just across the street from
a certain voting booth, where I haye
been a manager in several of the
past elections, and at times when the
people of Savannah have had a great
deal ‘of interest in the outcome .of
lhé election, but 1 was never able to
get as many votes in the ballot box
as were put in on last Tuesday.
“] voted at 8:40 p. m. and my
number was 202. 1 was struck dumb
for the moment, and said to one of
the managers, ‘
“You-are polling a very heavy vote |
today.” )
“His answer was ‘Yes, a steady
stream nearly all day.
“As [ said, I live across the street
and there might have been 50 pcoplcl
voted before I did and not one more,

crimson for miles as a resnlt of the

They had at three-thirty in the after

they roared and screamed and the
automobile horns let go wuntil there
wasn’'t a kick left in a battery to
blow any more. It huickly broke in
to a community wide celebration, the
like of which has not heen seen here

the great wrold war ended.
