and control by their fathers, hus

“To womanhood in every land is
accorded the privilage of exercising
the power of early influence” the
S 'jjpeaker continued, “and the great

nursery and fondled on her knee.
’ And where stand forth deeds of
mighty achievement and begin exer

these men should be accorded all the
honor and glory.
“Women, now, must compete will;

“Women need as much education

DAIRY INDUSTRY IN
NIUE EXPANDING
WAYCROSS, May 27. The
opening of the Dairy Products and
Ice Cream Company of Waycross
marks the establishment of a mar
ket in Waycross for all the sweet
cream produced in theh Waycross
territory.
The farmers who have cows and
who have purchased cream separa
tors will now have in Waycross a
market for all the sweet cream they
have, a market that will pay cash
for what it buys.
There is a definite effort under
way here now to accomplish two
major objects, the first of which is
t 0 place on all the farms in the
Waycross territory a dairying in
dustry built around the cow, hog
and hen program, which would give
to the farmer a cash income for
every week in the year and would
enable him to pay cash for what he
bought. The second object sough?
to be/attained is to make Waycross
the dairy center of South Georgia
the city where the 110,000 people
living in the Waycross territory
brought their milk, butter, sweet
cream, sour cream, cows, hogs,
Chickefis and eggs for marketing.

LETTEK-*’ s
BONUS HITS TAX HOPES j
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer
WASHINGTON, May 27.—-The
action of Congress in over-riding
the president’s veto on the bonus is
believed to have made more cer
tain a veto on the tax bill when it
is finally ‘submitted to tne White
House.
For one thing, enactment of tno '
bonus makes necessary the raising
of $144,000,000 in 1925 whicn
would not have been needed had the
presidential veto stood.
The rates in the revenue.,bill, as
it finally will be presented, will be
substantially the Democratic rates,
which both Mellon and Coolidge
have opposed as unscientific and in
adequate. Jamming through the
bonus, therefore, against his wish,
gives the president a plausible basil
tor rejecting the tax bill on the
ground the new rates wdl not raise
enough cash to meet other necessary
expenses of the government and
also provide the money for the
bonus.
• • •
I More than the expense of the
bonus, however, is troubling ad
ministration chiefs, with respect to
the new revenue measure.
There is a growing doubt as to
the permanence of the present na
tional income. With business pros
perous, wages and salaries high, a
reduced rate on income taxes might
easily be possible, even after pro
viding for a bonus.
But there has developed during
the past two months a distinct slow
ing up in many lines of industry.
I This may mean merely that business
proposes to move cautiously, as is
often the case during presidential
campaign years, or it may mean tha-;
we are approaching another definite
step or readjustment in the process
of getting back to normalcy.
• * •
The president’s advisers feel that,
in a popular way, he, thrives on ve
toes; that the people like the way
he throws legislation lie does not
like back into the face of Congress.
The public, however, has had its
appetite whetted for a reduction in
its tax bill, and undoubtedly will de
mand somebody’s official head if
the reduction is not forthcoming.
Should Coolidge veto the tax bill,
would the failure for tax reduction
be placed on him, or would it be
placed on Congress for giving him a
bill he felt obliged to veto? That’s
the puzzling question!
To date the president’s followers
have been able to shoulder onto Con
gross tthe blame' for friction be
tween White House and capitol. Tbe
president has advanced his position
by trampling Congress under foot.
But a veto on the tax bill threatens
to cause a tumble. It’s a slippery,
uncertain ,uncomfortable situation.

house? Stick wet hands in pockets
and leave two minutes.
