STRUGGLE SEEN IN NEXT SESSION OF CONGRESS $310,000,000 Excess Catches Eyes of Bonos and Lower Tax Men. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The $310,- 000,000 excess of federal receipts over expenditures during the last fiscal year, leaving the treasury with a balance of approximately $380,000,- OUO in the general fund, promises to provoke a struggle in the next con gress over tax reduction and ad justed compensation. President Harding is being watch ed carefully in his speaking tour for | a commitment on either of these j questions. Bonus advocates have i hailed the improved financial condi-j tion of th£ government with glee, and contend the president and Secre-1 tary Mellon can not long object to | a grant for the ex-soldiers, especial- j ly since there is now the prospect 1 of additional payment of some of | the European debts. Just before Mr. Harding left Wash ington the white house indicated none of his statements could have given the bonus people assurance of his j position. Secretary Mellon also has i remained silent since the veto of j the last bonus bill. While enough members of both houses of congress are claimed to pass an adjusted compensation meas ure, in spite of presidential disap proval, it is entirely possible the de mand for a tax reduction will jeop- 1 ardi/.e the new bonus legislation. ; There is some supposition the ad-1 ministration may even get behind a I tax-reduction measure in preference j to and as a better vote-getter than 1 the bonus. Representative Madden, of Illinois. I chairman of the house appropria tions committee, favors lowering tax es to compensate for the treasury surplus, relieving the burden partic ularly of the small taxpayers. Secre tary Mellon intends to renew his recommendation for a lower surtax, but with the complexion of the new congress this latter legislation virtually is certain of defeat. The $310,000,000 surplus also prom ises to occupy a prominent place in the next campaign, regardless of what the treasury shows at the end of the tiscal year just beginning, because of its contrast with the an ticipated $823,000,000 deficit. NEGROES MUST GIVE IDENTIFICATION CARDS Many from South Die and Are Buried in Potter’s Field at Detroit. DETROIT, Mich. —So many friend-1 less and unknown Southern negroes! have died, been taken to the morgue j and failing identification have been j buried in the. potters field here that j civic authorities, together with ne-' gro ministers, are taking steps to provide every immigrant negro with an identification card, giving the ad dress of his nearest southern rela tives, or “white folks." Seventy-five per cent of the uni dentified dead in the Detroit morgue are negroes, according to the De troit News, and the majorty of these are newly arrived from the south. Tuberculosis, typhoid and in some oases actual starvation are responsi ble for the majority of deaths, al though a surprisingly large number of killings occur when the negro competes with tlie low grade immi grant, and race clashes between the negro and the immigrant classes are becoming more and more frequent.

Public health work HAS MANY ANGLES There are many angles to public health work or prevention of disease. So many do not seem to appeal to the public; one does not seem to care what happens to hl« neighbor from his neglect. Indifference to the well-known laws of sanitation on your part often makes your friend, neighbor or asso | elate sick. Then he suffers, loses time, transmits the disease, has doctors and drug bills to pay, nurses and hospital hills possibly, and sometimes a fune ral, —all these and other angles have j little effect on the vast majority of I people; they do not see through public health spectacles. But, when you pre i sent to some of our people a dollars and I cents proposition they are ready Ui | listen. Then from this angle only we call ! your attention to one department of tb«* : State Board of Health’s annual report. | They made for the physicians of our Ktate last year 14,804 Wasserman | blood tests for Syphilis. The usual laboratory charge is $5.00 each, or 174,- 020. They furnished for charity cases $18,218 doses at "606,” the remedy for tbia disease, which figured at $1.56 per dose, gives us $27,827, or a total valuation of these two items alone of j $101,347. The appropriation made by | our 1 Legislature for this work Is $lO.- 000 for all Its activities, the two above mentioned being only a part.
