ACTION ON TMT
AT SHORT SESSION
LEFTTO CONGRESS
3Y DAVID LAWRENCE
(Spe ial Lensed Wire to The Journal—Copy
right, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—The ad
ministration has decided to leave
congress to decide whether a hori
zontal cut of 25 per cent Income
taxes shall be put through at the
short session beginning in December
and ending in March.
There are several reasons given
for declining to recommend a tax
cut, but at the same time no state
ment is being made that the presi
dent would veto a joint resolution
to provide for a reduction in taxes.
Senator Smoot, chairman of the
senate finance committee, is in favor
of such a resolution. In the house
no doubt will appear a similar senti
ment. The treasury department
knows that in its last experience
with congress, the Democrats and
insurgent Republicans united to ig
nore the essentials of the Mellon
plan. A recommendation from the
treasury starts with a certain hos
tility. The treasury is having its
battles with the Couzens commit
tee about the efficiency of the inter
nal revenue bureau and altogether
the administration is disposed to
wait for action by the congress elect
ed last week, which will either con
vene in December, 1925, or earlier
if other problenis not now foreseen
require a special session.
Treasury officials are saying that
they don't know how the present law
will operate and that first receipts
will not come in until next March,
but the actuaries of the treasury, on
the other hand, have been very ac
curate in their estimates in the past
and there is no doubt that the ad
ministration would not veto any pro
posal to make a 25 per cent cut once
it passed both houses.
Question is Paramount
Politically, the tax question has
become almost paramount and there
will be plenty of opportunity for in
dividuals in congress to place them
selves in a position of being even
more anxious for tax revision than
the administration. Action at the
session beginning in December, 1925,
would mean that the taxpayers
would get the benefit of the reduc
tion when they paid their taxes dur
ing the year 1926, which is another
election year. Some adn inistration
leaders think it is wiser to revise
the tax law for that occasion, so as
to help keep the Republican con
gress in power than it is to make
a cut in the coming winter session.
From some aspects congress is
likely to endeavor to cut taxes not
only next winter, but in the session
of December, 1925. The first, of
course, would be a horizontal cut
and is not difficult to manage, legis
latively speaking, especially since
the detailed revision must he post
poned until the present law is longer
in operation. It seems logical to
expect the Democrats and insurgent
Republicans to take the initiative if
the regular Republicans do not. It
will be remembered that the treasury
did not Initiate the last 25 per cent
cut, but that it grew out of a pro
posal in the ways and means commit
tee by Chairman Green, but it was
promptly given the approval of Sec
retary Mellon and the president.
Better Business to Help
So far as the productivity of the
present law is concerned, the treasu
ry is conservative in its estimates,
but this much is known —the admin
istrative provisions of the new law
will bring in more taxes than was
originally expected. Better business
conditions this year will be another
factor.
The director of the budget just
r ow is working on his figures for
publication just before congress con
venes. It is possible for the admin
istration to allow the estimated ex
penditure to come close to the esti
mated revenues and wipe out the
much talked about surplus. All data
heretofore has indicated that a sur
plus was inevitable. The president
is attempting to cut the budget
down. When the figures are dis
closed congress as well as the coun
try will discover just what surplus
may be expected. Then it will be
up to congress to say whether it
shall be spent or refunded to the
taxpayers on their income taxes pay
able nekt March.

Republicans Claim
One Electoral Vote
Os Alabama’s 1 welve
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 13.
Possibility that one of Alabama’s
electoral vote may be cast for
President Coolidge is claimed by
some Republican leaders as a result
of a situation that developed at the
election.
G. C. Bates, one of the Demo
cratic nominees for presidential elec
tor, died after his name had been
printed on the ballot. Democrats
were advised at the last minute to
vote for A. A. Shelly, but few wrote
his name in on the ballot. As a
result A. A. Bingham, Republican,
ran about 20,000 votes ahead of
Shelly as most of the Democratic
votes were cast for Bates.
As a result it is stated a com
mission headed by the governor may
be called on to pass on the case.

IN MW MATESIIL,
MEETING IS TDLG
BOSTON, Nov. 13. —The cotton
industry apparently has definitely
turned the corner and is proceeding
slowly, though steadily, toward bet
ter days, Robert Amory, of Boston,
president of the National Associa
tion of Cotton Manufacturers, said
in his address before the annual
meeting of the association here yes
terday.
“The present cotton crop is the
largest in four years and we are as
sured of sufficient raw material for
a much greater percentage of our
capacity than through the last
year,’’ President Armory said. “A
word of caution: ‘We are not as
sured of sufficient raw material for
an adequate reserve supply.’ There
fore, price fluctuation' is still likely,
although probably not to as great
an extent as during the year past.
“The past year has been one of
the most difficult through which
our cotton manufacturing industry
has ever passed,” he said. “The
principal cause for this has been
three consecutive short cotton crops,
leaving the world without an ade
quate reserve supply of raw mate
rial which might have assisted in
stabilizing the price.
“Coupled with the ease with which
speculation may be conducted in cot
ton, this has brought about tremen
dous and unwarranted price fluctu
ations. A contributing cause which
now seems absurd has been the fear
and uncertainty of the political sit
uation.
Manufacturing Runs Low
“For the last few months cotton
manufacturing in the United States
has run as low as 60 to 70 per cent
of capacity, while in New England
it has run from 40 to 50 per cent.
“Outside of New England produc
tion has in no month run below 80
per cent capacity and has ranged
from 80 to 90 per cent. Dozens
of great cotton manufacturing cor
porations have ceased to pay divi
dends for the first time in many
years. The workers in our New
England mills have had to exist on
less than half time and half pay
and in many mills have had almost
no work at all.”
One hopfeul factor for the cotton
industry, President Amory said, wa
the fact that the unprecedented cur
tailment of the past year undoubt
edly has created a great Void in the
country's stock of finished goods.
Another was the great improvement
of farm markets.
“I would like to call attention to
one of the difficulties with which
the cotton manufacturing industry
in the United States is constantly
confronted,” he said. “This is the
building of new mills which are built
not to fulfill a demand for a prod
uct, but to provide an industry for
some community which now has no
industry. Such mills are often pro
moted by men who have no knowl
edge of the cotton manufacturing
industry. They are built largely on
credit furnished partly by the ma
chinery builders. Naturally, the
merchandising of products of mills
started in such away is not of the
best.
Workers Can’t Make Living Wage
“To look more closely at home in
our own New England situation it is
obvious that we have even further
to go to become completely straight
ened out than the cotton manufac
turing industry in the rest of the
country. Not only have our work
ers, owing to short time run, been
unable to make enough money to
live comfortably, but tligy constant
ly have bees confronted by complete
shut-downs with consequent lack of
earnings at all for weeks at a time.
Our stockholders have been cut off
in many instances from any income
on their investments. Sometimes the
public, and often those of us manag
ing mills, do not realize what this
means.
“Recently I sent out a question
naire to our members, asking each
mill to send in the number of work- |
ers based on full-time schedule, the 1
number of spindles and the number I
of stockholders. With 12,573,122 1
spindles reporting, the total number I
of employes was 1-19,132 and of stock
holders 60.521. The average stock
holding was only 52 shares per hold
er. 1 here are two stockholders for
every five workmen in the mills and
this ratio holds nearly true in a I
great majority of easy* It is but
fair to state that undoubtedly there I
> some duplication in that stock
holder may hold shares two or
even more mills. However, with due
allowance for this fact the results
go to prove absolutely that the cot
ton mills of New England are owned
oy a large number of our own citi
zens, who acquired the stock through
years of saving small sums and who
depend on the dividends in a great
many cases for their daily bread and
butter. Many of these stockholders
ate former workers in the mills
which so invested their savings to
support them during them during
i their old age.’’

STATE'S 1324 FBI
MINS LEAH NATION, i
CREDITMEN LEARN
Georgia’s gain in farm wealth this
year will amount to 46 per cent and
she will lead the entire country as
regards percentage, according to the
statement Wednesday night of P. R.
Bomeisler, of New York, vice presi
dent of the Georgia association,
speaking before the November meet
ing of the Atlanta Association of
Credit Men.
Mr. Bomeisler said that crop diver
sification and the program of the
cow, the hog and the hen, sponsored
by the Georgia association, is re
sponsible for much of the great in
crease in Georgia’s agricultural
wealth.
Among the ga.ns shown in agri
cultural products were a gain of 13.6
per cent in the value of pigs raised
in Georgia, as against a general de
cline of 5.9 per cent in the country
as a whole, said the speaker.
“At the same time 10,000 new dairy
cows were added to the state’s
wealth, in addition to great gains in
butter and cheese products. Three
million dollars worth of poultry were
shipped out of the state, whereas be
fore 1924. it was customary to im
port poultry.”
Mr. Bomeisler also called attention
to the value of the tobacco crop,
which amounted to $6,551,659.86. He
said that during the year the crop
was around 800 pounds to the acre,
while in North Carolina it was about
500 pounds to the acre. Many North
Carolina tobacco growers already
have made preparations to move to
Georgia and take advantage of the
cheap prices of tobacco growing
lands, he said.
Urging further intensified cultiva
tion, the speaker stated that cotton
acreage should be cut and that
farmers should devote more effort
to increasing the yield per acre.
“But diversification is the real
secret of the success,” he continued.
“No one crop system can make the
farmer rich but the three-ply pro
gram can always provide him with
cash for his needs.”
It was announced that the next
monthly meeting of the association
will be held on December 3, in or
der that the members may hear an
address by .1. H. Tregoe, secretary
of the National Association of Credit
Men. Following this meeting a
number of members of the local as
sociation will attend the Tri-state
conference of associations at Sa
vannah, to begin on December 5.
A tableau representing “The Food
Group” and showing mistakes in the
marketing of food products was an
other feature of the meeting, which
was held at the Elks club.
Grayson Man Cut 19
Times in Quarrel
At Dancing Party
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Nov.
12. —Wiliam Yancey, a young man
about 23 years old, is in a critical
condition at his home near Gray
son today as the result of a cutting
affray at a dance in the neighbor
hood last night. Verner Boss, 22
years old, is in jail here, and officers
this morning went for his brother,
Otis, 24, who is said to have- re
ceived a heavy blow in the side at
the time Yancey was cut.
Yancey charges, according to offi
cers, that the Boss Brothers attack
ed him with knives when the three
left the dance at Glenn Ford’s home
to “fight it out” following a quarrel
which is said to have arisen over ,
the girl with whom Yancey was
dancing.
Yancey was rushed here about
midnight last night, and two local
physicians took 60 stitches in clos
ing up the 19 cuts which he'suf
fered. He was cut some sixteen
times across the back, they report,
and three times across the head and
neck. He was taken back to his
home, and reports from the bedside
today were that his condition is very
serious,
Varner Boss was brought to jail
last night, but his brother was al
lowed to remain free overnight, so
it is said, to recover from a blow
from a piece of timber.

‘Friend’ Game and Gets
j $ 1,900 Diamond Rings
RICHMOND, Nov. 13.—The king
of “confidence mon” has appeared
in Richmond. Wednesday afternoon,
aided I'#. A. R. Burton, a jeweler, as
the second member of the cast, he
enacted a real O’Henry story for
the education of local business men
and the edification of the police, not
to take into account his own re
ward, which amounted to between
SI,BOO and $1,900.
Mr. Burton was standing in his
store, his trained eve on the watch
for possible customers, when the
leading man, hatless and coatless,
a large roll of money plainly visible
in one hand, entered. He had just
come, he told the jeweler, from a
bank across the street, and desired
to purchase a diamond ring for a
friend who also was employed there.
Rings were immediately produced.
The potential buyer selected one
and asked permission to take it
across the street to see if it would
fit his friend. The jeweler agreed,
but kept his eye on the man until
he had disappeared into the bank.
Presently the buyer returned and
announced that the ring did not
fit. He selected three others and
again was allowed to leave the
store, his roll of bills still intact.
Police reported last night that no
arrests had been made.

GEORGIAN INDICTED
FDR MURDER IN
MABHAMILLINfi
BY THEODORE TILLER
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Bldg.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—A grand
jury at Rockville, Maryland, late
Wednesday afternoon returned a
murder indictment against Fred A.
McClellan, formerly of Tifton, Ga.,
who was charged with the killing of
Thomas A. Simms, of Kensington,
Md., last Saturday night.
While the indictment chargfes first
degree murder, it is possible under
such an indictment, for a person to
be found guilty of second degree
murder or manslaughter. The case
will be docketed for trial at the term
of criminal court which begins No
vember 20. Interest of the com
munity lies in the testimony which
will be given by Mrs. Simms, wife
of the slain contractor. Both Mrs.
Simms and young McClellan vig
orously deny that their relations
during the six months the boy was
a boarder in her home were in any
way improper.
McClellan, a country boy of mea
ger education, is just beginning to
realize his dilemma. But he is taking
solace from the telegram which he
received from his parents in Geor
gia, pleding him their aid when it is
needed.
When told that Mrs. Simms had
turned against him and declared she
wanted him punished for the stab
bing of her husband, McClellan did
not appear much moved. He stated
that he was sure she would tell the
truth and that was all he needed.
It is understood that the state,
whose case will be prosecuted by
state’s attorney John A. Garrett, is
going to make a point of the fact
that the penknife McClellan used in
the stabbing had only recently been
sharpened.
McClellan, understood here to he
the son of Mitch McClellan, a well
to-do farmer of near Ty Ty, Ga.,
claims self defense and charges that
in an altercation with Simms, who
he says was intoxicated, the latter
attacked him with a heavy stick.

42-Year-Old Beard
And Colquitt Farmer
Flave Parted Company
MOULTRIE, Ga., Nov. 12.—Ranse
Asbury, Colquitt county farmer, is
no longer carrying around a beard
—a noble beard that he was 42 years
growing, in opposition to the doc
trine of open covenants. He came
to Moultrie yesterday and had it
shaved off. Just what prompted him
to do so he would not say, but ha
did confess that it was his second
shave, although he is nearly 60
years old.
The first time anj’ whisker on his
face fell before a razor, he held
the razor himself. "When I had
finished my face burned and smart
ed so that I made up my mind that
I wouldn't shave again,” Asbury
said.
