PAYERS' BURDENS MUST COME SAYS COOLIDGE RE- SUN turday UTAH LEGISLTIVE TAX REDUCTION , . Paris. Discussion of France's debt to the United States, brought to a head by Deputy Marin's speech in the chamber last week, continues unabated. Louis Loucheur, ona of the negotiators of the Versailles treaty, moved by Senator Borah's reply to Deputy Marin's address, is quoted by the Excelsior as saying: "I never contested our debt to Amerca. I did say that it seemed impossible physically and materially that France could reimburse the whole of that debt. "I wish to contett only one point in He says Senator Borah's statement. France gained a value of 1100,000,000 by the Sarre mines. Doesn't he know that sum was inscribed on the debit side of France's balance sheet against her claim for restoration of the devastated regions ? Furthermore, all specialists agree that the sum thus debited is greater than the mines' real value. "I defy America herself to reimShe burse a sum of $3,000,000,000. would be incapable, and nevertheless the United States' financial situation is much more solid than ours. "The Americans are well aware of this. Haven't they suggested the constitution of a transfer committee charged with surveillance of Germany's future payments ? If such conditions about exchange are operative for our former enemy, why aren't they for France?" Alexandre Varenne, Socialist, vice president of the chamber of deputies, told Excelsior: "Senator Borah pretends that the American taxapayer is more heavily burdened than the French. I maintain that the French taxpayer is more heavily assessed than the German. The problem of inter-alliedebts would make a big step forward if America employed her whole energy in making Germany pay." Le Journal says that "France will pay what she owes," and adds: "No Franchman ever sought to avoid paying a real debt, but the whole question is to find what exactly is France's debt toward her companions in the struggel" Second Child Dies Brooklyn, N.

Further reduction in the reduction in the taxpayer's burden through reduced government expenditures will be a guiding policy of the four years of administration upon which President Coolidge enters on March. Addressing the regular meeting of executive and administrative officials of the government, the president placed upon them and congress the responsibility for so measuring disbursements that a further step in this program may be taken next fall. Only the closest adherence by congress to the current budget recommendations, the president warned, would make possible a realization of the $373,000,000 surplus now expected in the fiscal year 1926, and which he believes would be a warrantable basis for proposing further tax reduction at that time. Laying down a government policy of getting more work done with fewer workers, the president, whose address was radiocast through a wide chain of stations, warned that prossemi-annu- MANY ARE HURT IN COLORADO WRECK DENVER AND RIO GRANDE CARS LEAVE TRACKS NEAR GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO Below Zero Weather Temperature Adds To Discomfort of Passen- gers As Cars Leave Broken Rails Salt Lake City. Fifteen persons were injured, three seriously and several others narrowly escaped death and hurt when seven passenger cars on the Denver & Rio Grande Western Scenic Limited left the track in Ruby canyon, twenty-fou- r miles west of Grand Junction, Colo., at 3:15 o'clock Thursday morning, according to reports received here. The derailment ocured at a point in the canyon where the track winds ribbon-lik- e 200 feet above the swirling waters of the Colorado river and only a miraculous twist of fate saved the train from a disastrous plunge. The baggage car left the rails and rolled forty feet down the embankment before coming to a stop, and two day coaches toppled over on their side. A broken rail which snapped under the weight of the engine, is said to have caused the derailment. The locomotive and front trucks of the mail car, according to reports here, passed over the break. The following two baggage car's, two day coaches, diner, and two pullmans left the rails. Two sleepers, one baggage car and diner remaining upright on the tracks. The two rear cars did not leave the tracks and were towed back to Grand Junction with the injured. Among the injured are several Utahns, including R. H. Messa, of 634 South First West street, Salt Lake; Frank Jackson, of Salina; J. A. Scorup, a strockgrower, of Provo; Conductor A. Whittemore of Ogden, and Brakeman S. P. Tyree of Ogden. The first information of the derailment was telegraphed to the outside world shortly after 4 o'clock Thursday morning. Engineer W. H. God-daruninjured in the crash, walked several mile3 from the canyon to a farm house, the report states, and telephoned to Grand Junction for aid. Immediately a relief train summoned at Grand Junction and bearing railroad officials, physicans and nurses, left for the scene of the accident at 5:30 o'clock. Zero temperatures added to the discomfort of the passengers on the train it was stated According to dispatches, passengers were aroused from their slumbers by the crash and rushed pelmell into the frigid atmosphere only partially garbed. The relief train reached the scene of the derailment shortly after 6 o'clock and gave first aid to the inIt brought the injured and jured. the passengers of the marooned train back to Grand Junction. At that point the injured were taken to St. Mary's hospital. Major Calvert Dies New York. Major Henry Murray Calvert, 95, a 'member of President Lincoln's bodyguard, died in Brooklyn. .

Dance Hall Probe Urged Chicago. The city council has started an investigation into charges of immorality, drunkenness and excesses indulged in by youths of high school ago in Chicago public dance e halls. A cleanup of dance halls here is expected to follow revelations made on the floor of the coun-c- il by Alderman Stanley Adumkiewiz. Boys and girls of high school age dance in an immoral manner and tha boys carry hip pocket liquor. city-wid- pective increases in revenue due to business prosperity were not to be looked upon as license for "unwarranted" increases in government expenditures. With the growth of the nation, some increase in cost of government was to be expected, he said, although the government was now occupying fields that should be abandoned. As to the current fiscal year, Mr. Coolidge reiterated his desire to bring expenditures within three billion dollars, exclusive of those for the public debt. Brigadier. General H. M. Lord, director of the budget, who also addressed the meeting, assured the pres-iethat the necessary reduction of $62,000,000 from the original budget estimates could be accomplished to realize this goal, and laid this down as the immediate task of the government officers. nt $20.-00- to-b- banking-committee- Mine Promoter Found Guilty Lake. Charles Peter, Salt Lake mining promoter, was found guilty on six counts of an indictment charging him with using the mails in furtherance of a scheme to defraud. The verdict was brought in by a jury in the United States district court, where the case has been on trial for over three weeks. The case has been one of the longest and hardest fought of any tried in the lbcal federal court and the conviction will cost the government in the neighborhood of $50,-00it is said. Witnesses were brought to Salt Lake from Brooklyn, N. Y.; New Mexico, California and Oklahoma to tell stories of "bunco" stories which they said Peter used to induce them to invest in the Mascot mining companies. Peter was indicted last October by the federal grand jury on six counts, including charges of sending letters and circulars through the mails as part of a scheme to defraud various persons of their money and property.
