Chief Executive Promises to Work
For Chengee in Next Cengreee—
leeuee Explanatory Statement.
Washington.—President Coolldge
has signed the tax reduction bill.
However, the measure was declared
to be unsatisfactory, and the Presi
dent said he would bend all his ener-
gies to obtain enactment of a better
legislation at the next session of con-
gress.
The bill, which decreases tax ratea
In most instances to the lowest levels
sthce 1917 and was the basis of the
hottest executive fight of the present
session of congress, was declared by
the President in a 2,500-word state-
ment issued coincident with his ap-
proval of the measure to represent
merely "tax reduction, not tax re-
form."
Not A Sound Policy.
“The bill does not represent a
sound permanent tax policy and in
its passage has been subject to un-
fortunate influence which ought not
to control fiscal questions," the
executive said. "Still, in spite of its
obvious defects, its advantages as a
temporary relief and a temporary ad-
justment of business conditions, in
view of the uncertainty of a better
law within a reasonable time, lead me
to believe the best Interests of Cte
country would be subserved if this
bill became a law.
“A correction of its defects may be
left to the next session of the con-
gress. I trust a bill less political and
more truly economic may be passed
at that time. To that end I shall
bend all my energies.”
Expects Business Boom.
President Coolidge believes an ef-
fect on business will be noticed with-
in a few weeks, not only because of
the reductions provided but also be-
cause of removal of the uncertainty
that has existed in business since
discussion of tax reduction began
nearly eight months ago.
The bill as approved by the Presi-
dent reduces the taxes of almost
every federal taxpayer and cuts down
the federal revenues by an amount
estimated at 361 million dollars for
the next fiscal year. This reduction,
however, will not result in any deficit,
according to treasury experts.

NO ACTION AT THIS SESSION
Ladders of Bloc Fighting For Water
ways Improvements Admit De-
feat—Ultimate Fate Doubtful.
NINE DEAD IN TRAIN WRECK
Washington.—With a majority ol
the house committed to the water-
ways bill, its opponents won a vic-
tory in their fight to prevent action
on it at this session of congress.
Taking advantage of a quarrel over
appropriations that divided the river
bloc, the rulea committee, by unani-
mous vote, refused to grant a rule to
bring the bill before the house and
thus sidetracked it indefinitely.
•Leaders of the forces back of the
waterways bill admitted its fate was
uncertain. They Baid an effort would
be made to pasB it at the session
convening next December. As that
will be a short session, taken up
Washington.—In a bitter protest
against the new immigration law ex-
cluding her subjects irom the United
States, Japan has requested the
American government "to take all
poaslble and suitable measures for
tho removal of such discrimination."
The protest was made in a note,
presented to Secretary of State
Hughes by the Japanese ambassador
Hanihara, and was made public by
the state department without com-
ment.
Position of Jape Given.
A complete statement of the posi-
tion of the Japanese government on
the exclusion law is contained in the
“memorandum" which makes these
salient points:
1. Any sort of international dis-
crimination is utterly opposed to the
policy of the "open door" so ardent-
ly championed by the United StateB.
2. Still more objectionable ia
racial discrimination, strongly con-
demned in the past by the United
States.
3. Japanese are not incapable of
csBimllation in the United States,
tut are victims of circumstances that
have prevented their assimilation.
4. The exclusion law "ia in entire
disregard of the spirit and circum-
stances" of the treaty of commerce
and navigation of 1911 between the
United Stales and Japan.
5. The new law has “made It
impossible for Japan to continue the
undertakings assumed under the gen-
tlemen's agreement," which "thus
has been overthrown abruptly by
legislative action on the part of the
United States."

Eighteen Others Were Injureti When
Wabash Passenger Hite Freight
Train ad Attica, Indiana.
Attica, Ind.—Nine persons are dead
and eighteen Injured as the result of
a collision recently between east-
bound Wabash ralroad passenger
train No. 2 and a freight train, which
was on a siding. The passenger train
was hurled against the freight engine
and several persons were scalded
badly by steam from the wrecked lo-
comotive.
The passenger train, one of the
fastest on the system, is believed, to
have hit a split rail and crashed into
the freight. The engine and seven
coaches of the passenger train passed
over the place believed to have been
defective. The remainder of the train,
which consisted mostly of Pullman
cars, left the track, however, and was
hurled against the freight. The wreck
occurred at 11:45 o'clock.
Doctors, nurses and ambulances
were sent to the scene of the wreck
from West Lebanon, Ind., Danville,
111., Williamsport, Ind., and other
neighboring cities. Many of the in-
jured were sent to hospitals in vari-
ous towns, and little information was
available regarding their condition.
