TAX REDUCTION INCOMES OF 1927 OTM5 IIKFI V OElEilvlfcJ LlliriL I TIiin Proponal Ih I ih-JihIciI in lux Plan Submitted to IVesident Coolidge by ^ Senator Smoot EAKLY ENACTMENT Senator Front Utah Want* Special Smion of <Uin |r?w in November to Put Scheme Through Rapid City. 8. D., July 22.? <A.P)?Reduction of talon apply ing on this year's Income which would he paid beginning next March 1&, appears probable. This proposal is included in a tax reduction plan outlined Thurs day by Senator Smoot. Republican of Utah, chairman or the finance committee to President Coolidge. The administration is prepared to go ahead with the tax slash at the next session and Senator Smoot expressed the view that at least $300,000,000 in the annual burden of Federal levies could be lopped off In the new measure. The desire for early enactment of the proposed tax revision legis lation Is another reason In the opinion of the Utah Senator for an farly special sesttlon of th?' Con KreHS, beginning about November 1. a month ahead of the regular meeting. It would be necessary to have the tax bill put Into law before March 16, If this scheme went through. Chairman (Ireen of the House ways and means committee, wnllh will write the first draft of the measure Is preparing to call his committee Into session this fall. While little rellof is in night for Income tax payers the program of 8enator Smoot wonld give a cut to the taxpayem with incomes bo 4ween $15,000 and $60,000. Pres ent normal rates of 1 1-2 per cent on the $4,000 Income; three per cent on the next $4,000 income and 6 per cent on all over that ap pear destined to be continued along with the present exemptions of $3,5U0 for married perilous and $1 ,600 for single persons. . Corporations which have re ceived no cut In their normal tax en In recent years now seem most likely to get the lion's share of re lief. Senator Smoot favors reduc ing this levy from 13 1-2 per cent to 12 per cent, which he estimates would eat up $150,000,000 of the prospective *)ash. Miscellaneous levies also would be wiped out In the Senator's pro gram, those on admissions and dues. Coming to the summer White * House yesterday on his return from Utah to Washington Senator . Just missed the visit of Secretary Hoover, who had urged immediate Federal relief In the Mississippi flood. He said this rec ?ommendutlon constituted and "Imperative" reason for celling the special session of Congress which Is under consideration by President Coolidge.

J. S. Caul. of I Charlotte, orthopedic surgeon, who | In conducting a clinic in Kllzaheth | City under the auspices of the Ro tary clulis of Klizabeth City, Hert ford and Kdenton and the Kl wanls Club of Klizabcth City, pointed out at the l(otar> luncheon ut the Southern Hotel Flday. In the days or old. Dr. Caul declared. I It was the custom to put deformed children to death at birth. Now | the State 1m endeavoring to pre vent deformity in the first In stance and to remedy deformities that have already occurred in the next place. Dr. Caul made the scope of or thepedlc work in North Carolina I very vivid by pointing out that In 1921 there were ft.000 crippled j children In the State. Forty-two j per cent of these, he said. were cripple* a-? a result of infautlle pa " ralysls. Twenty-eight per cent I were cripples as a result of tuber culosis. Sixteen per cent were crlp 1 pies an a result of accidents on the istreet and in Industry. Thus he pointed out Hi; per cent of the crippled children in the State might have been saved from being j cripples, as Infantile puralysla, <tuberculosis and accidents on the streets and iu Industry are pre ventable. I Dr. Caul urged a campaign of ? education as to how infantile pa ralysls and tuberculosis are spread laud also as to how accident on rthe street may be prevented, thla jcampaign to be put on In day and {Sunday schools as well as In the j home. He urged tho enlistment jof Hotary co-operation toward that end. Onn Itotarian wanted to know I how Infantile paralysis may be prevented and Dr. Caul proceed ed to explain that Infantile paraly sis. like tuberculosis, is a prevent able disease and that any person 1 who ha* suffered from Infantile putalysls may possibly be a car rier of the disease. He then went jon to explain that proper treat ment of none a ud throat would eradicate the danger of such a person's being a carrier of infan tile paralysis. He added, too. that even after Infection It is generally .possible to prevent deformity in a child us a result of Infantile pa (ralysls by proper treatment, pro vided this treatment Is given In time. He went on to say that a recent epidemic of Infantile pa ralysis In his own section had been ! followed by a general campaign of education since when, so far as jhe knew, there has not bePn an other case of Infantile paralysis In his county. Frfflowlng Dr. Caul's talk. Dr. John Hallba of the Klizabeth City hospital stressed the additional point that proper care and sani tary precautions at the time of child birth could prevent many cases of so-called congenital de formlty. He also stressed the fact that many children were de formed by malnutrition, pointing out that crooked legs were the re jsult of this. He stressed the Im portance of using grade A milk In the feeding of children. The first clinic In fCllzaheth City was held on June 2f?. at which time Dr. Caul examined 35 crip-, pb-H. He reported that 1 r, of ithese could be cured or lienefltted by treatment. He returned U? the city Thursday and four of six pa tients were operated on Friday. Two more will be operated on ] Saturday. Members of the Kl- 1 wants and Rotary clubs of Rllxa beth City nnd of the Itotary clubs of Hertford and Kilenton are urged to see that all children in their counties examined by Dr. I Caul come to the clinic for treat ment. The third clinic will be held next month. Prince Carol Must Remain In Exile 1 Say Officials llucarest. July 22.? <AP> ?

Writing as though he hadTn , presentiment of death, the mon arch spoke of his love for hi* country, of Carol and the wound dealt to him by the renunciation of the throne by his first born Hon, and of the passing of the crown lo the head of the bojr Michael. The letter began: "My dear Premier: "Ah a Christian, I have always* been Influenced by the thought of the moment when I will find my nelf before my Cod. As a Ruman ian and king. I have sacrificed my life on this earth, but my love of country does not permit me to l consider my duly ends with this | life, and 1 can not but think of what follows it. I "flou willed that the crown with which the fortunes of the country are lndlsHoluhly bound up, should pass to the head of the minor Ml jhal (Michael), l pray heaven will I accord him Its benediction; ttet I under Ills reign Rumania may be strengthened and enlarged-?Ru mania which has been built up by ho many sacrifices.

The situation created | by his renunciation of the throne was brought about In such a way as to make ll his most Imperative duty as a Rumanian, as a Hon and as a parent lo respect the under* taking entered Into of his own free will without being Influenced by any one." In u simple golden oak casket, ' |covered with flowers from Queen Marie and his daughters, the body of King Ferdinand rested today in the golden hall of Cotrocenl Palace. Thousands of sorrowing Rumanians passed the blor to do honor to their beloved king. The body was brought to the winter palace yesterday from the royal summer estate at Hlnala, where the monarch dled^It will He in state until Sunday when bu rial will take place In the royal Mausoleum at Curtea I>e Argea. On his tomb will be engraved the words: "I am a Rumanian, first, lait , and ull the time." (Juns boomed as the funeral train came to a stop in the capi tal. Although rain was falling, si lent crowds watched as the cof fln, surrounded by the sovereign's sword and capital, was borne from the station to a gun carriage and thence to the palace. Men, women and children wept as tho cortege passed. Awaiting the body at the palace were tho regents, cabinet mem bers, the commander-in-chief, of the Army and civil authorities. When the procession made its way through the portals of the palace. Prince Nicolas. In crepe banded naval uniform, walked close lo his sister. Princess II leana. wearing deep mourning. Willi I be boy King Michael's reign established, the country re mains calm and the government has made known Its determination to crush any attempt to regain the throne for Prince Carol. In this connection the story is recalled of s conversation which King Ferdi nand had lant year with M. Rrat lano, who haH since become pre mier. "I would have him shot," Brat- ] la no Is reported, to have told the 1 king when talking about a report $ that Carol was leaving Paris and ' proceeding to Itnmanla.
