to clean up the profession and crowd
out foreigners. Only French, French

those who served in the French army
are eligible to a license. A regular
eatalouge of licensed screen actors,

WILL HALT REDUCTION
NO APPRECIABLE REDUCTION IN
TAXES IF LEGISLATURE EX
PANDS LARGE SUMS
RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 24? (£>)—
Appreciable reduction in Federal tax
es appeared less likely when Coolidge
set the budget for 1928 at 3,316,000,
000. The defense fund is enlarged
and the Army and Navy receives large
sums for planes and cruisers. Tax
refunds and permanent appropriations
will swell the budget to $3,561,000,000
In face of the estimated surplus for
next year of $214,000,000, after all cur
rent needs of the government are sat
isfied, incluuding the enlarged mili
tary expenditures, the fiscal authori
ties here indicated that there can be
no real tax reduction if Congress en
acts legislation to spend in one year
large sums for flood control in the
Mississippi Valley and appropriates
heavily for farm relief. This situa
tion developed following a conference
Coolidge had with General Lord, di
rector of the Budget Bureau, in which
the estimated expenditures for next
year wer£ increased by $16,000,000
over the goat set by Coolidge fn his
June speech. In approving the in
crease there was alloted increases to
the veterans bureau and the treasury
department.
