DEMOCRATS’ PLAN
OF TAX REDUCTION
I -Senator Couzens Challenges

Make Public His Invest
ments —Hearings End
L ; , WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.—Secre
k Vary Mellon fired a broadside at the
£ Democratic tax reduction plan last
-Hight at. the house ways and means
committee concluded its public hear
ings on tax revision und prepared
i ”to start work Monday on new rate
..schedules. The secretary branded
the plan advanced for the Democrats
£ by Representative Garner, of Texas,
us a substitute for his own program
U llj»f tax reduction as "political and
frothing else.”
j ,“U At the same time house Democrats
f ’served notice that they would accept
E ;oo compromise on their plan in the
; committee, and would carry the fight
I , to the floor, where Republicans have
1 admitted they are on the defensive
; because of recent changes in house
•. ; fules.
| J Speaking of the proposals for high
"er surtaxes and lower normal rates
‘ than those carried in the treasury
bill, Mr. Mellon said "high surtaxes
are war taxes . . . and such taxa
tion should cease.” He charged that
H -continuation of the higher surtaxes
'meant retention of high war living
"ycosts “which everyone pays.” In a
; comparison of Mr. Garner's program
with the treasury’s plan, the secre-
<„ tary said “his is a makeshift; the
treasury pian is the result of ex-
. perience and stud”"
"" “ Garner Schedule ;
L “The Garner plan, ... >.ellon con-
■ ! Jlmied, “seeks popularity by offering
•SJjk'jsmall direct saving to most tax
’■ ♦ payers; the treasury bill is fair to
* all classes. His is not intended to
be effective on the economic side of
£ taxation; the treasury bill is designed
g to free capital and to benefit not
only the individuals who pay taxes
direct, but every person in the coun
try who must pay these taxes on
every purchase. It is the difference
between a political method of han
dling tax reduction and a business
method.”

MELLON NOT TO ENTER
DEBATE WITH COUZENS
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.—Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon, who
\ arrived here Saturday to be the
guest of honor at dinner given by
the Manufacturers’ club, said he had
f ' rio intention of engaging in a public
I debate with Senator Couzens on sub-
| ject of taxation.
“I received a letter today from
K Senator Couzens,” said Mr. Mellon,
fe “As sor»n as I learn what his argu-
' rrtents are I will reph’ and my let
? ter will be published.”
pt 1 While Senator Couzene, Repub
. "Ifcan, Michigan, renewed his cam
palgn against Mr. Mellon's surtax
rate proposals in another letter to
: the secretary, Senator Glass, Demo-
crat, Virginia, and a former secre
tary of the treasury, predicted that
• congress would accept the principle
of the Mellon plan as to a maximum
surtax rate of 25 per cent. He de-
glared; however, “it was altogether
r y unreasonable to imagine that con
gress should feel obliged to accept
i a treasury plan of taxation without
any change whatsoever.”
Secretary Challenged
? Senator Couzens challenged Mr.
Mellon to inform the country how
much he would benefit personally
from the reduction of income sur
y taxes which he has proposed in his
- ■ plan.
J ; “So long as you have entered into
L I the record of my securities.’ - Senator
I X Couzens wrote, “will you tell us
'what your securities are and how
fe ", much you own of each?”
■ The Michigan senator denied that
all of his capital was in tax-exempt
, securities, explaining he had mil-
I lions of dollars invested in build

HARDING’S MEXICAN POLICY
IS SCRAPPED BY COOLIDGE
Vermonter Is Being President
on "Own Hook," Says
Daniels Slemp Called
Past Master at Political
Management
BY JOSEPHUS DANIELS
(Copyright, 1924)
RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 19.—When
he succeeded to the P res^ e V cy ?
Calvin Coolidge in the dark, houi
of the night in the little A ernjon
village declared it would be Ws high
est aim “to carry out the policies of
President Harding.” That is the
way he felt about it that night, and
the country applauded.
No man is so happy as when he
can truly say “I told you so.” That s
my position today. When most
writers were approving the declaia
tion o£ the new president, I ventured
to say that if anybody expected Mr.
Coolidge to carry out Mr. Harding s
policies, they were destined to a rude
awakening. I based my prediction
upon the belief that no man can walk
in the shoes of another, think his
thoughts, speak his language, or
carry out his policies. I said that if
Coolidge carried out Harding’s poli
cies he would be the first'vice presi
dent who had ever done so. No
doubt all of them who made that
promise were sincere in their decla
ration, but those who sought re-elec
tion saw pretty soon they could not
succeed by trying to wear the cloak
of the predecessor. The public
wants no “me too” or no mere echo
of the dead voice. With the best
intentions, Mr. Coolidge has failed to
be another Harding. It was an im
possible job he set for. himself and
now that he has thrown off the cloak
and acts on his own initiative, the
public may approve or disapprove of
this or that policy, but&fcfegf will like
him all the better for himself
and following his own gait.
Agree on Fundamentals
The message to congress was a
Coolidge message—not a Harding
one. They both agreed on the tariff,
and so he recommended to continue
the live billion tariff tax and to re
duce the income tax. In international
matters, Coolidge favored the world
court with such emasculation that
its author would not recognize it.
Where Harding favored delay on the
soldiers’ compensation, never oppos
ing it, Coolidge declared against it.
and emprasized his opposition by
calling it a bonus and hit it as hard
as he could by not deigning to give
a reason why he thought this recog
nition should not be given the brave
'youths who, with a pittance of
thirty-odd dollars a month, saved the
world In 1917-18.
But since that message, so far as
"carrying out Harding’s policies,”
there is no more Harding or Harding
policies at the White House than if
the Ohio president had never lived
there. I am not saying that Cool
idge is not right. It. was simply im
possible for the Vermonter to be a
Buckeye.
The genial Christian, who didn’t
seem to be concerned about getting
delegates and arranging primaries,
has given place to Slemp, who looks
and eats and thinks politics and po
litical machinery 24 hours in every
day of the 365 in the calendar. There
may have been no need for a con
summate political manager *as pri
vate secretary under Harding, but
certainly Coolidge picked one who
is a past master. Any Republican
who could get himself elected and
re-elected to congress indefinitely
from Virginia is no slouch at the
political game. He Is working it for
Coolidge in larger territory than he
worked it for Slemp in the Old Do
minion. And Hitchcock will have
to rise early In the morning if he
gets any delegates from the south.
Slemp knows the game in that Demo
cratic part of the world as to string
ing negro and white delegates to a
Republican convention. He also
knows how to cater to the colored
voter who has migrated to the doubt
ful northern states.
Mexican Policy Junked
The first big overturnng of a
Harding policy was in connection
with delegates from the south. From
> the day that Russell A. Alger bought
John Sherman’s negro delegates at
the same price that prevailed for
slaves in 1860, the southern delegate
situation has been a stench in the
nostrils of decent Republicans and
has been a naticTnal scandal. Roose
velt and others tried to get rid of
this sore spot. Finally the conven
tion that nominated Harding ar
ranged to lessen the number of Re
publican delegates in the 1924 con-
I vention. That wasn’t pleasing to
l the would-be delegates from the
south. It was making them like
I Othello their .occupation s-fine.

GREENSBORO. Captain David

veteran, for many years chief of po

when gun fights featured many elec

most exciting experiences.
SOUTH CAROLINA
COLUMBIA.—South Carolina su
preme court upholds cities of Spar
tanburg and Greenville in ordinances
placing ban on poolrooms. Test
case having been brought bv W. F.
Clegg and R. T. Thompson. Court
holds state has authority to license
poolrooms outside of municipal cor
porations, but city has authority to
regulate or bar within its limits.
Therefore, the Harding policy was
overthrown and the bidding, and
huckstering for southern delegates
will go on as in times past, grieving
the righteous Refjublicans who
thought they had eliminated that
putting a presidential nomination on
the block, so far as southern dele
gates affected the nomination.
The next reversal of the Harding
policies is V ie sale of arms to tsie
Obregon government. One of the
Harding policies on which the late
president congratulated himself as
one that -would signalize his admin
istration was j?is hostility to selling
arms to Central or South American
states. He didn’t love to follow Wil
son, but Harding and Wilson took
the same course when certain South
American countries wished to buy
surplus naval craft to strengthen
their navies. When such sale was
pressed Mr. Harding said: “I
would gladly waive any financial ad
vantage that might attend such sales
to make sure that pone of our sur
plus equipment is employed in en
couraging warfare anywhere in the
world.” That is sound, and made for
peace on this hemisphere.
“Nigger in Woodpile’’
Coolidge may be right. He may
be wrong. That is a question of
opinion. I believed from the day
of his election to the presidency
Obregon should be recognized with
out all the dickering and delay and
conference with those who had con
cessions in Mexico. The delay weak
ened Obregon and made it impossible
for him to carry out the reforms on
which his heart was set. When
there came revolution and the op
ponents of the Obregon government
were giving him trouble, Coolidge
directs that arms be sold to the Obre
gon government. Mr. Wilson kept
arms out of the hands of Huerta,
who had. come into the presidency
by assassination. Now Coolidge
keeps' arms out of the hands of an
other revolting Huerta, but goes fur
ther and sells them to the existing
government. 1 hope it will keep
Mexico stable and prevent revolu
tion.
The Fairchild resolution in the
house, approving the Harding policy
and barring the war department
from selling arms to a foreign gov
ernment raises an interesting ques
tion. The resolution asks: "From
whom did the suggestion first come
that resulted in any such agree
ments, understandings or conversa
tions, and from what department of
the United States government and
from what department official did
the suggestion or advocacy of any
such agreement or understanding
first come?” Evidently Fairchild
knows something and is hot on some
body’s trail. He thinks “there’s a
nigger in the woodpile,” but He will
get no answer. It will be “incom
patible to the public interest” to an
swer such impertinent question of
the sacrosanct state department. It
reports to nobody.
Many thoughtful men believe that
it we ought to uphold Obregon's
government, it would be better to do
so by armed intervention than by
armed interference. In armed inter
vention there is always opportunity
through administration to allay the
feeling that follows it, while in
armed Interference there is no such
opportunity.
Calvin Coolidge Is president of the
United States and the day of "carry
ing out Harding’s policies” closed
when the first frost came. Nobody
ought to object to a president being
president in his own right and carry
ing out “my policies,” particularly
since within a few months he must
win or lose the nomination on his
own record.

NAVAL DEMONSTRATION
TO IMPRESS MEXICANS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —Assembly of the
fighting ships off Vera Cruz is view
ed as a naval demonstration design
ed to impress Mexican insurrection
ist leaders with the idea that less
grim warnings already sent them
against interference with American
shipping are not to be regarded
lightly. It a'so is evident, howevc.’, j
that the Washington administration
still hopes that illustration of these
warnings with the actual sight of
the dull-hued fighting craft riding
off the rebel capital will be sufficiem
to prevent overt acts against Amer
ican merchant ships at Tampico.
Whether decision to dispatch the
war vessels to Vera Cruz was im
pelled in any degree by information
that various Mexican porta have
been or are to be mined by- the rev
olutionists was not disclosed.
Information concerning the min
ing operations was made public in
a warning to mariners issued by the
hydrographic office of the navy that
various Mexican ports were beiny
mined by the de facto authorities.
Mines already have been placed in
Salina Cruz harbor, the announce
ment said, and information has been
obtained that the harbors of Puerto
Mexico, Vera Cruz, Frontera and
other gulf coast ports controlled by
De La Huerta also were to be mined.
Ship captains were cautioned not to
attempt to enter these harbors with
out the aid of pilots.
Reception to Be Courteous
So far as the reception of the
American vessels at Vera Cruz is
concerned, J. M. Alvarez, Del Cas
tillo, now in charge of the foreign
relations department created by
Adolfo de la Huerta, the revolu
tionary chieftain, who arrived hera
today, asserted that they would be
received “with the utmost courtesy
and hospitality.”
“Not only will every facility be af
forded the senior officer in com
mand,’" he added, “to procure anv
information he may desire as to trie
safety of American interests, but
also >ny suggestions offered by him
in a friendly spirit will be similarly
received, provided of course, th.ir
they involve no infringement mi
Mexican sovereignty
The announced purpose of the
sudden order which sent the Ta
coma* to the rebel capital was to
establish direct wireless communica
tion for American nationals there
with the United States. In view of
subsequent developments, however,
it seems not improbable that the
vessel actually was intended to
serve as a mild suggestion to the
rebel leaders that they must play
out their game lor political power
in Mexico without any undue inter
ference with Americans and their
legitimate enterprises in that coun
try.
MEXICO GIVEN LEAVE TO

MS OLTT SECRET
SOCIETIES, RIDLEY
TELLS MINISTERS
Without calling the Ku Klu>
Klan by name, but intimating
strongly that he had reference t<
that organization, Dr. Caleb A
Ridley, former imperial kludd o
the order and a member of th<
concilium, announced Monday be
fore the weekly meeting of th<
Atlanta Baptist ministers’ confer
ence that he “had cut loose financially
and otherwise from every seculai
organization and fraternal ordei
with which he had heretofore beer
connected,” and that in the future
he plans to give his life to religious
service.
Dr. Ridley announced that be has
no desire again to head the forces
of his old church, the Central Bap
tist, and to preclude any misunder
standing has withdrawn his member
ship from that church so as to leave
its membership unhampered with
any thought of him.
It was announced that a commit
tee will be named by the Baptist
ministers’ conference to consider
with Dr. Ridley the latter’s return
into the Baptist fold. Dr. Ridley
made no direct statement of his
desire to be reinstated, but said, in
the concluding paragraph of his
statement:
“One of the things I have missed
for years has been the fellowshir
of my brethren denominationally
and the fault was not theirs. 11
the time should ever come when
this fellowship is a possibility, J
shall be glad.”
lhe attitude of the conferencr
was cordial toward Dr. Ridley, am
after reading his statement many
members came 1o his side to press
his hand and utter a word of on
couragement. Dr. Ridley was visibly
affected.
Dr. Ridley said that outside Influ
ences had caused him to lose the
fellowship of other Baptist minis
tens and God. He stated further tha
he did not ask or expect th* gradi
of positions he previously had ane
said “nor would I ask you (the con
ference) to aid in securing for mi
even smaller ones. I only ask thal
you join me in prayer that in some
humble way, I be permitted to ‘come
back’ as a plain preacher of His
plain word.”
The Rev. J. M. Haymore, pastoi
of the First Baptist church, of De
catur, brought the fact to the atten
tion of the conference that Dr. Rid
ley had a statement which he desiree
to make.
When the former pastor of the
Central Baptist church took the floo;
there was a hush throughout th<
gathering and his announcemen
came as a surprise to the majority’
He was apparently nervous, but hi
spoke in a clear voice and prefacing
his written statement, which he ex
plained as having written so it rnigh
become a part of the conference rec
ord, he said: “I hardly know hov
I would feel if I were in your plan
and you were in mine. But I d<
know I have had a new revelation o
God.”

Here Are Details of Our Great
Fruit Garden Collection
Offer
THE TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL win help you .start a
Home Orchard and Fruit Garden, or to add to what you
have, by sending you Six fine Apple Trees, Two Pear
Trees, Four Concord Grape Vines and Eight Dewberry
Vines of the most profitable variety known.
If you take advantage of our offer without delay, we
will send you THE TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL FOR ONE
YEAR, or extend your subscription twelve months from the
present expiration date, and these TWENTY PLANTS, ALL
FOR ONLY $1.50. We will deliver these plants to you at
your mail box, with parcel post charges paid.
Think of the barrels of choice apples and pears, the
bushels of delicious table grapes, and the loads of luscious,
melting dewberries you can raise in your own garden from
these fine trees and vines. In just a short time you can
have all the apples, pears, grapes and dewberries you can
use on your own table and plenty left to put up for the
winter. And after the trees and vines come into full bear
ing, you will have a nice surplus left to sell at fancy prices.
1 Here is what the collection includes:
Six Baby Apple Trees
Healthy, vigorous little "baby trees’’ that grow rapidly
into large, heavy-cropping trees. They are produced by
grafting a branch from a fruit tree to a healthy one-year
root, and tying the union with waxed twine. Though
less than a foot in length, they take root shortly after being
planted and make wonderfully rapid growth when given the
care they deserve. We will send: Tvv6 Genuine Delicious—
the handsomest Apple grown and the best. Two Jonathans
a , favorite wherever apples can be grown and of delightful
flavor. Two Wealthys— popular and profitable; a splendid
keeper.
Two Kieffer Pear Trees
Plants come in same shape as Apple trees. This old, de
pendable variety is a favorite for every purpose, wherever
pears are grown. Os incomparable flavor when fully ripe.
Four Pedigreed Grape Vines
Selected year-old Concord vines from the famous South
ern Michigan grape belt, where the variety has been grown
and perfected for the last half century, and where the vines
have been bred up to an average yield of a bushel of the
finest table grapes to every vine. The Concord is hardy and
will thrive in locations where many other varieties cannot be
grown. The vines we will send you are selected mailing
size stock; with plenty of roots to start off with vigorous
growth. They fruit the third year and reach full size In
five, after which,-with proper care, you can depend, upon
your bushel of choicest grapes from every vine, and you can
make cuttings which will give you a vineyard of any size
you desire.
Eight Vigorous Lucretia Dewberry Vines
As the Dewberry produces a good crop the next summer
after being planted, they are ideal to plant with grapes.
While waiting for your grapes to come into bearing, the
dewberry vines will furnish Immense clusters of shining
black, melting, juicy berries. As a source of delicious fruit
juice the Dewberry is giving the Concord grape a close race,
as the Dewberry juice Is as good as grape juice, and the
crop is cheaper to grow. Eight of our vines in your garden
will give you a good annual supply of this splendid berry,
and you will have every year from twenty to fifty new plants
to re-set or to sell to your neighbors.
Now, Note This Carefully
EVERY COLLECTION IS GUARANTEED to consist of
good, vigorous, hardy stock; to arrive in growing condition
and to be in every way satisfactory to you, unless you are
unreasonable. Unsatisfactory plants and vines will be re
placed free.
ILLUSTRATED INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANTING are

tions are illustrated with pictures and diagrams, and ahow
just what to do to have success with your fruit garden.
