MELLON WILL
RENEW SURTAXES
AGITATION
Secretary Will Take Propoaition of
Reduction in Higher Brackets
to Next Congress
Washington,? Secretary Mi lion
will renew to t!ie next Congre-s hiij
recommendation for a reduction in
the higher brackets of income surtaxes.
An announcement of his purpose,
however, said he was uncertain
whether the proposal would mett
with a favorable reception at the
capitol.
The large increase in income tax
receipts by treasury during the last
fiscal year wrs said to be attributed
by the secretary in on small part td
the reduction in surtaxes brought
about in the last tax legislation. He
was said to believe this cut had
i.eted an a stimulant to investors to
employ their money in profitable enterprise
as differentiated from tax
exempt securities. A} further reduction
in the* higher surtaxes, he is
convinced,A is the only effective
method of competing with the tax
exempt issues.
Some members of Congress who
have talked) wit^ the secrotary recently
have informed him that there '
is next session, . but he feels h*r
should send his reeoramondations t/01
the capital regardless of the opp<y
lion.

' w in the wardens who served during I Ce|
thn spring sea-on and is making ar- wi
.trgenu-nts to employ others for the an'
CAli season. ' th>
Mr. Petersen appeared before the an
1-oatd of county commissioners to wi
1 ask a small appropriation to l?t. used esi
for forest protection work in this un
t unty. The commissioners made an he
appropriation of $250 last year and sil
igr vd t>> renew the contract this mi
year. th? State to match the appro- ! on
priation, dollar for dollar, the total J
' Mill) to he used in the county for th<
forest protection work. This work is tht
done by county forest wardens, un- in
der whom a number of di trict and mi
township wardens serve. The town- Ja
ship wardens in turn have a number mi.
of assistants, or deputies, who are ha
constantly on the lookout for 'ires. <?f
Ther?* were seven townships and one tht
county warden 'n Cherokee in thi a"
and there will probably be an bu
equal number this fall, according to
Mr. Peterson. del
Reports sent in to State officials nol
by Cherokee County wardens show re|
that there was a total of 57 fires in sea
this county during the last firt. sea- hai
son. said Mr. Peterson, but most of the
these were discovered by one of the
warden* before they reach any pro- ed
portions and thus acres of timber. sta
valued at thousands of dollars, were wh
save fro mthe ravages of fire. . Ho
Mr. Peterson (ilao inspected the 1 Ka
fire protective system >n Clay Coun- 1
tv and conferred with county offi- wa
rials about the state forest protvc- at
tion work, and while no agreement ' stai
was entered into, Mr. Peterson ox- ' tioi
pressed confidence in the probability ' nes
of the commissioners renewing tho 1
agreement. Under the co-operative j -son
plan, the state and federal govern han
ments appropriate as much or more froi
money than the counties do. and the fire
fund is consolidated and used in the 1
verious counties for the prevention of
of! forest fires. Forest wardens are to 1
not merely fire extinguishers. Their er.
primary purpose is to do education- j mar
al work?to try and create a senti- and
ment against setting out fire in the ; thai
woods or being careless with fire so j T
that it may g^t into the woods. | proi
While there aro nc figures to com- j 00 :

vith yet, state officials ard confident ceiv
that much good is being accomplish-1 Coo
