Representative -'Nick" Ingworth )' Ohio, also a member of the ways and means committee and rated as one of the tax expert?, o the house, expressed similar convictions. "It appears." he said, "that the returns from cot-aorationa and percons with large Incomes last year have fallen materially it ; the opinion of ih committee that diversion of larcrt sums into non-txable securities is largely responsible for this. Reduction of surtax; and excess profits, taxes or their elimination will divct money from non-taxable securities into taxable oetupation. encouraging building and v.-oiking generally for the betterrnj-.it of all concerned.

Mayor Brown has never for a moment allowed his personal tastes or Inclinations to interfere when a question arose that was concerned with the welfare of the citizens of his city. He has more than once allowed himself to lie pbieod m the back-ground In order' to servo Hammond. He is the only Mayor Hammond ever had who gave his whole tun to his job as .Mayor. Ho has no interests that do r.ot include hi;- city and its jicple. His effort to relievo the high cost of living by selling government goods at cost is but ciio example of his untiring effom to serve Hammond.
