The most important thing this "lame duck" session of congress can do, the president said, is to abstain from going on any spending spree, stay within the budget, and by so doing make certain another substantial cut in taxes next year. If this congress wants to tinker with the tax laws, in the three months of life left to it, Coolidge proposed that it abolish the public feature of the income tax law and provide some reductions in the higher brackets of the same law. Otherwise he recommended that further tax revision be left until the new congress, elected in November, comes into power. So far as international affairs are concerned, the president told congress that not since pre-war days have they been in such satisfactory shape. There are no clouds on America's international horizon. He reiterated that he is desirous of calling another armament conference but said that because of proposals being made abroad for European conference he believed it advisable to hold American plans in abeyance for the time being. Numerous recommendations were made by the president on a variety of subjects, but none of them was startling. Throughout his rather lengthy message, the president reflected his own and the leaders' opinions that little beyond passage of the necessary appropriation bills will be possible in the short and dying session of congress at hand. The more important of his recommendations were: 1. An adequate army and a navy of full treaty strength, but with no armament races of any kind with any nation. 2. American entrance into the world court, but with specific reservations to the effect that this government will not be bound by advisory opinions, nor be dragged into litigation without its consent. 3. The United States should remain outside the league of nations. 4. Some revision of existing immigration laws to allow those aliens already here more latitude relatives. BRITISH ASK SAME TERMS AS FRANCE LONDON, Dec. 13.—If France gets better terms than were accorded Great Britain in settlement of its debts to the United States, Britain is expected to insist on readjustment of its debt funding, it appeared today. Diplomatic circles also understand that England intends to enter an objection to France paying America without paying Britain and will suggest a simultaneous settlement of both obligations. British government officials are displaying the keenest interest in dispatches from Washington intimating that France might get a shade the better of it in the debt funding negotiations now going on. Treasury officials were not inclined to discuss the Franco-American debt question but, said that all the allies must lay their cards on the table when the financial conference meets in Paris. Meanwhile, they intimated British intends to oppose the American reparations claims, pointing out that from the British viewpoint the United States is virtually asking priority on the benefits under the Versailles treaty, which the United States did not sign and which it never has officially accepted. British action is not expected to lag far behind observation, should such a settlement be completed. Not only may a funding readjustment be asked, but Great Britain will be expected to press for settlement of the French debt to England. "Any more favorable terms accorded France would imply a corresponding amendment of the Anglo-American agreement," the Daily Teegraph said today. That agreement served as a model for funding the Finish, Czecho-Slovak and Polish debts to the United States. It is possible that England's request of a postponement of the interalled financial conference to January was prompted by a final outcome of but no goods will be sold Door prizes, music, etc., are expected to help draw the crowd.

America NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—The Chicago White Sox and New York Giants will tour South America next year, spreading the gospel of baseball thru the vast expanses of territory that stretches from the equator to Rio de Janeiro. This was the news spread by John J. McGraw, who is back in New York today following a six week baseball tour of Europe. His trip met with enthusiasm even tho it did not bring much of a financial return, he said. The missionary work in behalf of baseball must and will go on, McGraw declared. MAKE SURVEY OF COUNTY HARBOR Supervisor Finley Will Join Boulder Dam Lobby at Capitol Gen. Lansing H. Beach, formerly chief of the federal board of army engineers, will make a preliminary survey of Orange-co's harbor at Newport Beach and recommend what improvements are necessary to make the port a feasible one. This was definitely assured today after it became known super- WASHINGTON AGOVER TRAINTRIP WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—President Coolidge and his party left the capital at 5 o'clock this afternoon for Chicago where he will attend the international livestock show and deliver two addresses tomorrow. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—President Coolidge's decision to go to Chicago today on a regular train, following a regular schedule, with none of the special equipment and frills that usually attend a president leaving the capital, had given Washington a distinct shock. It stamps Mr. Coolidge as a precedent-maker. And precedents, in Washington are almost as important as the monument. Few things he has done in the year and a half of his presidency, have caused more talk than this casual decision to embark on his first trip west as an ordinary Pullman passenger. Some say that no president has ever done such a thing before. This is disputed in other quarters, but in any event it is certain that no president has ever left the capital in anything except a private car since the days of McKinley. It was McKinley's assassination that resulted in the present safeguards that are thrown about a president, the ever-present secret service operatives, the keen scrutiny of all visitors and the precautions to insure privacy and freedom from annoyances. Mr. Coolidge was actuated in his decision to dispense with a private car and a special train solely by considerations of economy. The Chicago trip by special car would have cost approximately $2,250, whereas, by going "regular" on a regular train, this figure would be cut to slightly over $500. The wisdom of his traveling as the missionary work in behalf of baseball must and will go on. McGraw declared. Supervisor Finley Will Join Boulder Dam Lobby at Capitol Gen. Lansing H. Beach, formerly chief of the federal board of army engineers, will make a preliminary survey of Orange-co's harbor at Newport Beach and recommend what improvements are necessary to make the port a feasible one. This was definitely assured today after it became known supervisors had approved the proposed appointment of General Beach as consulting engineer for the new harbor commission. For the work that has been laid out for him he will receive the flat sum of $2500. Chairman H. A. Lake of Garden Grove and E. T. McFadden of Santa Ana, representing the harbor commission, recommended to supervisors that they approve General Beach's offer to become consulting engineer. Acting on a letter received from the Boulder Dam Ass'n urging that Supervisor S. H. Finley be named to represent Orange-co. on a lobbying committee that is to start for the nation's capital late today or tomorrow, supervisors made provision that Finley should go to Washington. The purpose of the committee will be to endeavor to get the Swing-Johnson bill out of the house committee. Not more than two or three days should be consumed for hearings after the committee reaches Washington, Finley stated. The supervisors also approved the contract for erecting a tuberculosis hospital near Beaumont, the project being entered into by the counties of Orange, Riverside and Imperial. Acceptance of the work on the new county jail called for in the general contract let to Chris Meill was ordered. Considerable work remains to be done on smaller contracts let separately. Work on the ceilings yet remains to be done, tho the opening is set for Jan. 1.

An anonymous letter, scrawled in almost illegible handwriting on a piece of ordinary note-paper and bearing this postscript, was turned over to detectives today by Rev. C. V. Sheatsley, whose wife's body was all but incinerated in the parsonage furnace more than two weeks ago. The letter was signed with a skull and cross bones and was addressed to "Rev. Sheatsley, Columbus, Ohio." The postmark which was very distinct, showed the letter was mailed at Buffalo, N.Y., at 9:30 p.m., Nov. 24. It read: "I kill your wife and I will run.

Berger, chairman of the committee in charge. The estimates are those of Secretary Glenn D. William of the State Ass'n and Secretary George W. Reid of the Anaheim C. of C. The December number of California Real Estate, the organ of the state association, gives Anaheim a nice lot of publicity in connection with the big gathering. The leading article entitled "Locating Industries in the Smaller Cities," contains this sub-caption: "Santa Ana and Anaheim Prove That Competently Handled Industrial Tracts in Smaller Cities Afford Manufacturers Many Inductions and That Realtor Co-operation is Vital to Location of Industries." The article, after dwelling on the industrial tract, says Anaheim has 44 industries with an investment of $2,054,983 and mentions some of the local enterprises. The program of the industrial conference appears in detail in another story. Berger told at today's meeting of writing to 57 different boards of the state association, inviting them to the conference. Frank Pope, vice-president in this district, who will preside at the conference, spoke briefly about the meeting and the membership drive set for Dec. 8-15. He declared the fight in Los Angeles where the Los Angeles Real Estate Board has withdrawn from the state association because the Southwest Realty Board was permitted to hold its membership, was bound to come. The difficulty will be settled at the next meeting of the National Ass'n of Realty Boards to be held at Dallas, Texas, in January. C. E. Sharp, former horticulturist of Riverside-co and now Anaheim, gave a short speech in which he stressed the infection danger from uncared for citrus fruit trees left on a acresage that had been subdivided.
