■EDICT TAX Rut of only I $200,000,000 Karly Forecasts of Party ' Heads Too High, Treasury Indicates. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, June 23.—A tax reduction totaling no more than $200,000,000 is in sight for next year on the basis of present estimates of tax yields, it was admitted today by treasury officials. This sum is considerably at variance with predictions voiced by Republican leaders on Capitol Hill, who have placed the amount of tax cut to be made by the next Congress at figures ranging from $300,000,000 to $600,000,000. In the present opinion of those in charge of the nation’s finances, any sum over $200,000,0000 will be dangerous and a gamble on the uncertain prospects of 1929. While the treasury will not officially prophesy more than a $200,000,000 reduction, that estimate is based on a study of tax yields for the past four years, as well as receipts and expenditures for a “normal” 'ar. With both those latter ilk is lairly well stabilized at $3,750,- ■ >OO and $3,572,000,000, for 1929, a surplus of no more than ■,000,000 is looked for. ■ Payments Will Not Recur ■ne treasury has estimated next ■‘’s surplus at $383,000,000, but ■,OOO 1 consists of payments ■F'h L a not occur again, such as securities and back taxes. Bat -will leave a surplus available B reducing taxes further of little ™ore than $200,000,000. If Secretary Mellon can’t find more money for lessening the tax burden than that, there will be a great deal of grumbling by members of the next session. Every member of the House And Senate is banking on a large reduction to insure success at the polls in 1928. While officials will not forecast details of 1928 tax legislation it is probable the Administration will, recommend a 1 per cent cut in the i corporation tax and possibly repeal of nuisance and automobile levies. No Hope for Small Fry The total reduction resulting from such a program would be $225,000,000. It is rjpt expected that there will be any attempt to reduce taxes on incomes of $5,000 and under. Mellon, however, will make no definite proposals to Congress, not caring to repeal the incident of 1924, when his carefully worked out plan was so slashed by House and Senlate that even he could not recognize it. He will content himself B-ith a few “suggestions.” B There is one possibility that the 818 tax cut may go higher than ■0,000,000. Mellon, notoriously low ■ his estimates of surpluses, may ■l next spring that he was about ■>,000,000 too pessimistic. In that he may be able to “suggest” a large tax slice that the counts will insist upon Coolidge run■g again. ■cSSION TO FORTVILLE Kpwcrth League Elects Officers at Meeting in Anderson.

Prince of Wales Celebrates 33rd Birthday—and Is Still a Bachelor

1 Julum

The Prince of Wales and a few of the princesses who would be glad to help him find England's future queen—if he’d only let them!

Many Princesses Aspire to Throne, but Wales Only Smiles. Bil SEA Service LONDON, June 23.—The world’s most eligible' bachelor is 33 years old today—and still a bachelor! Edward Arthur Christian George Andrew Patrick David Windsor, more popularly known as the Prince of Wales, Is eating his birthday cake today in one or .the other of his various palace homes, while his father, the king, and his mother, the queen, sorrowfully reflect that for more than fifteen birthdays they have said, “next year he’ll be married, surely!” There are enough romantic tales woven about Prince “Davy” to supply all the operas of all time. Heart In Grave ' One of the most popular has it that his heart is buried In the unknown grave of the Grand Duchess Tatiana Olga, daughter of the Czar of Russia, who was put to death by Bolshevists. They say that when, returning from his trip to America, Ls found dark-eyed Yolanda of Italy a guest of his royal father and mother, he was almost ready to again to please the world by mating. But she returned home to wed a dashing cavalry officer. They say that little Princess Ileana of Rumania pleased him, but that s he too-evident eagerness of match-making mama, Marie, to noose him as a son-in-law antagonized him until he told her to take Ileana home and ‘put her in school where she belonged.” He Don’t Care Today the prince is 33. King George grows old and weary of cares of state. Prince “Davy” is the idol of his people. But they do not want a bachelor king. But Prince “Davy” only shrugs his shoulders and lets them talk. Many of his intimates seem to believe that he has no hankering to be king, and that if bachelorhood will keep him from the throne and give it to his brother, the Duke of York, and from him to his little daughter, the Princess Elizabeth, nothing could suit him better! If the Prince of Wales really wants a wife, and a wife who, according to officialdom, would be altogether fitting and proper, there is no dearth of material.

The latest and most persistent rumors betroths him to the Infanta Beatrice of Spain. Beatrice has always been popular with her royal English relatives. She is more English than Spanish in type. She is charming and young, only 18. Highly Eligible. Princess Marta of Sweden and Princess Feodora of Denmark are officially considered two of Europe’s most eligible princesses. Marta is a sister of Astrid, now Crown Princess of Belgium, and with her sister has been a frequent and welcome visitor at the English court. Among maidens nearer Prince “Davy’s” own vintage is Princess Hilda, sister of the Grand Duchess of Luxemburg. Hilda has six sisters, and ’tis said that the seven girls vowed to enter a Carmelite convent if unwed by the time they were 25. They are very wealthy, and will not marry Germans.

COOLIDGE GETS ISLAND REPORT Approves Philippine Regime of General Wood. Bit United Press RAUID CITY. S. D., June 23. The future of the Philippines was to be discussed today at the temporary White House. President Coolidge has called into conference Governor General Leonard O. Wood and Representative John Q. Tilson, Republican floor leader, both of whom have just returned from'the islands. The main question is whether Wood should go back to the islands as Governor General, despite his poor health. Mr. Coolidge, it is understood, wants Wood to return, believing his regime has been entirely successful. Wood himself wants to go back and “finish the job there, even if it is necessary to die tlrcre with his boots on,” his friends say. If Wood resigns as Governor General it will be only because of imperative advice of his physicians, the United Press is authoritatively informed. Tilson came in by motor car and went fishing with President and Mrs. Coolidge this morning, before Wood arrived from Seattle.

"Net income from pictures is not sufficient, ‘because costs have mounted too high,” Lasky said. “We have been spending too much for what we have been receiving in return and we can go on this way no longer. The industry has reached a period of stabilization.” Some of the more highly paid stars will be requested to take larger than 10 per cent cuts in salaries. The company will appeal to those under contract.

Wormy Rebuke Bu United Press RAPID CITY. S. D„ June 23. —Formal protest against use of worms by President Coolidge and members of the presidential party in trout fishing was made at the summer White House today by Edward G. Taylor, who claimed to represent the Izaak Walton League, National Conservation Association. “Use of worms is slaughter,” Taylor, who is also a Chicago newspaperman, said. “The idea of our league is to promote sportsmanship, and the President should use barbless hooks and flics so that all the fish he does not use can be thrown back into the stream.” Taylor was unable to see the Pres dent and presented his protest to Secretary Everett Sanders.

McKeever of Topeka, Kas., in his address this afternoon on the “Heavenly Vision,” said that the people of the very near future will receive such instruction in this unique way.

Fund Easily Raised Dr. McKeever, who is the author of several books on psychology, stressed the opinion that a large fund necessary for launching such an air university would not be difficult to raise.

Van Doren of New Haven, Conn.; Dr. Alemia Randall of Minneapolis. Minn.; Mrs. Ida Mae Waters of Baltimore, Md.; Mrs. Patricia Elliott of Chicago, and Dr. Fred A.

Spirited Prayer Meetings Cause Five Deacons to Resign. Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 23.—Charges of performance of unusual rites, similar to those associated with the ceremonies of the Pentecostal Church, threatened today to disrupt Dr. John Roach Stratons Calvary Baptist Church. Five of the fifteen deacons of the church have resigned, a statement made public by the dissenters last night revealed. The statement charged that Dr.. Straton, long a colorful figure among the Baptist clergy, sympathized with the section of his congregation alleged to have indulged in the ceremonies. It was learned that the rituals were started shortly after Uldine Utley, 13-year-old evangelist, and a protege of Dr. Straton. conducted revival services at the church last fall. The statement did not discuss in detail the ceremonies to which the deacons objected, but it was understood that at mid-week prayer meetings, which were said to have lasted far into the night, members of the congregation chanted hymns, intoned the Scriptures and called upon the Holy Spirit to enter their souls. Some worked themselves into such a heat of fervor that they fell rigid to the floor, lying on their backs and uttering mystical sounds supposed to indicate the descent upon them of the “Gift of Tongues.” ASK STOCK INCREASE Indiana Electric Corporation, Wabash Valley Electric Company and the Northern Indiana Power Company, all Insull interests, have petitioned the public service commission for rehearing on stock issues.

TRACTION BUS i RUN AT LOSS; OTHERS GAIN All Lines Show Deficit of $930,647.22 for Last Year. Bus lines operated by Indiana; traction companies in competition with their own interurban lined show enormous losses for 1926. while Independent lines mads money, study of a report issued by the public service commission discloses. The commission report showed that all bus lines in the State showed an aggregate loss of $980,647.22. Separation of items of this report, however, shows that some independent lines did make money. The Indianapolis Street Railway Company is shown with a deficit of $203,530, yet the Peoples Motor Coach Company shows net gain of $15,520 for the same period, and the Blue Goose Line, $6,664. The Peoples operates forty apd the street car company thirty-three buses. The street car company recently has attempted to purchase the Peoples stock for $500,000. but! the public service commission refused to approve the securities is* sue. • Other Cities Similar Seventeen bus end transfer lined have headquarters in this city. Those with big deficits include tha Indianapolis, Cincinnati Bus Company, a traction subsidiary, $60,735 loss: Interstate Public Service Company, $79,235: Northern Indiana Power Company, $1,436, and the T. H„ I. & E. Traction Company, $15,235. History of the lines in other cities throughout the State are similar. The big losers are Chicago. South Bend & Northern Indiana 39.466: Ft. Wayne, Van Wert Lima Traction Company, $13,937; Gary Railways, $19,253; Indiana Service Corporation. Ft. Wayne, $102,797; Shore Line Motor Coach Company. Gary, $22,837, and Union Traction Company, .Anderson, $133,865. Depreciation Varies Meanwhile gains were recorded by the Bloomington, Greencastlo bus line, $2,751; Blue and Gray, Brazil, $6,399; Carey & Leach, Kalamazoo, Mich.. $12,737; Loughman Cartage, South Bend, $11,579; Midwest Motor Coach, Chicago, $6,163; Logan J. Smith, Indianapolis, $7,050; Winder & Son, Indianapolis, $2,735, and many another. Considerable room for imagination is permitted in determining the amount to be deducted for "depreciation.” The commission for a time had a 30 per cent rule, but this has been abandoned. Busses in the hands of traction company operations would seem to depreciate rapidly, judging from the annual reports.
