Secretary Mellon of the Treasury issued his annual report last month for use by the Ways & Means Committee of the House in preparing the tax bill. Secretary Mellon reported a $635,000,000 surplus for 1927; predicted surpluses of $455,000,000 and $274,000,000 for 1928 and 1929 respectively. With the U.

Even the elements assisted in a noticeable congealing process as the first citizen of that boisterous, windy, middle western metropolis blew into town. For there persists a feeling that Mr. Thompson has vulgarized bigotry and ignorance,--a thing wholly abominable to the Bostonian tradition of suppression.
