...last week went before the Senate Finance Committee to announce what he thought should be done with the Tax Bill. The Bill which the Committee had received before Christmas from the House provided a tax reduction of $289,000,000 or 64 millions more than Secretary Mellon recommended last autumn...
...Last autumn and winter, women-in-politics were concerned over the case of Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, whom New York elected its first woman Secretary of State for the term of 1924-1926 and who was later charged with "misfeasance, malfeasance and nonfeasance" in office by a onetime subordinate (TIME, Feb. 6). Governor Smith ordered an investigation. The investigator strongly recommended prosecution. Women-in-politics feared that the Knapp case might interest the public more because the defendant was a woman than because of what she was alleged to have done...
Since last autumn, the stock-market price of John D. Ryan's* Montana Power Co. shares have gone up and down queerly. Since January 1 their quotations have ranged between $102.25 and $169.50.

From the estimated $252,000,000 surplus Secretary Mellon last autumn subtracted a $25,000,000 reserve fund, and told Congress that a $225,000,000 tax cut would be safe if Congress would keep closely to the Treasury's budget figures. Up to last week Congress had already gone $25,000,000 beyond the budget figures, and still had to make a flood-control outlay of perhaps $40,000,000. From these facts Treasury experts predicted that a tax cut surely no greater than $225,000,000, perhaps of only $220,000,000, perhaps of no more than...
