Washington and General 
News 
T HE Teapot Dome oil scandal, in its 
many different phases, continues to 
keep Washington and the whole country 
stirred up. The air is continually filled 
with rumors besmirking the reputation 
of many men in high place in both Re¬ 
publican and Democratic parties. The 
Senate Investigating Committee is con¬ 
tinuing to secure evidence in an effort to 
clear up the names of the innocent and to 
prosecute the guilty. The Senate carried 
a resolution demanding the resignation of 
Sec. Edwin Denby of the Navy Depart¬ 
ment, but President Coolidge refused to 
demand Denby’s resignation but has 
promised the country speedy justice in 
going to the bottom of the whole mess, 
the worst scandal that the national 
government has been involved in prob¬ 
ably in its history.

The House Tax Committee has re¬ 
ported favorably the Mellon plan for 
reducing income taxes. This measure 
will now be fought out upon the floor of 
the House. If it should pass, among 
other things, it will put into effect a 25 
per cent, reduction which would apply to 
the 1923 income taxes and result in 
reducing the income $225,000,000. The 
Literary Digest sent out 15,000,000 post¬ 
cards, and it is reported that 75 per cent, 
of the returns are in favor of the Mellon 
plan. The unfortunate thing about this 
plan of tax-reduction, which includes 
reduction only on incomes, is that it 
woidd bring little or no relief to farmers, 
whose incomes are small, but who pay 
heavy taxes on property holdings.

By a vote of 247 to 133, seven less than 
the necessary two-thirds needed, the 
House of Representatives rejected on 
February 8th the proposed amendment 
to the Constitution which would prohibit 
tax-exempt securities. The vote came 
after two days of debate by friends of the 
measure who showed that tax-exempt 
securities and high surtaxes could not 
exist side by side. Many friends and tax 
experts interested in the great problem 
of tax-reduction regret that this measure, 
which would have prevented so much 
escape from taxes by those most able to 
pay, was defeated.

not more than two years in Sing Sing

Anderson has resigned as State Superin¬
