[ RETURNS FROXM INCQME TAX Over 542 Millions Pour Into Treasury | of U. S. and Tax Cut to Be | Continued . Income tax collections for March to the 25th of the month were $542,432,341 assuring that the treasury estimate of $550,000,000 would be exceeded, high treasury officials said Thursday. Because of the revenue situation it was pointed out that the one per cent tax reduction for 1930 would be continued next year unless congressional appropriations are unexpectedly la*ge.
Officials said the present business depression has not seriously interfered with government revenues é,nd that while stock market losses were large income tax data shows large corporation profits for 1929.
- Expansion of the public building program, it was said would not interfere with continuation of tax reducts ion as the money to be spent will be spread over a number of years. x Secretary of Treasury Mellon is of the opinion that the present time is the logical period for federal construction as costs are lower than at any time since the war and labor is plentiful. :
IS BRANDED AS VALUELESS
Charged That Ballots Have Been Sent : to Wet Centers and Not To Rura] Districts
The national-wide prohibition referendum conducted by the Literary Digest }Fr‘iday was branded as unrepresentative of the real sentiment by the
Indiana Anti-Saloon league. Contrary to advice from the National Anti-Saloon League Indiana drys have been asked by Superintendent C. H. Winders of the Indiana league to vote when they receive a Digest ballot according to E. . Miles attorney for the state organization.
Today the Indiana poll stands 19,779 for enforcement, 14,664 for modification and 14,608 for repeal a total of 49,061. The- combined wet and moist vote exceeds the dx%’_ by 9,493.
Miles said that neither Dr. Winders nor national officials of the league be-
ligve the poll to be of great significance. X
“I have spent a great deal of time in the smaller towns and rural districts recently and there are few if any, ballots being seént out there” Miles reported. “The ballots ‘are going to the cities and largely to the wet center on my opinion. - “I know of no woman who has received one.”
The nationa] organization is asking
S members not to vote have prepa_rea
the “perfect alibi” it has bheen suggested. Should the drys win the league can say the victory was without fhe support of its membership and should they lose the league is in a position to point out the results did not include the votes of its members.
Winders said such a situation could not occur in Indiana where league members had been urged to vote.

The former grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan is asking for temporary release said through an attorney that he could prove that Miss Madge Oberholtzer Indianapolis girl for whose death he was held responsible had died as the result of illegal medical treatment He sought opportunity for a trip to California to obtain evidence. .
Miss ‘Oberholtzer swallowed poison early in 1925 following her alleged abduction and mistreatment by Stephenson, who then was at the peak of his power as a political boss in Indiana. She died some time later, Stephenson was convicted of second-degree murder in November 1925 and sentenced to life imprisonment, a dying statement by the girl comprising the most damaging evidence. The petition filed last mionth was supported by two affidavits one by a woman physician and another by Paul Newman of Gary, Stephenson’s attorney. Newman contended that Stephen son if granted temporary liberty could obtain proof that Miss Oberholtzer died from illegal medical treatment. “The board after- consideration of the evidence offered at the hearing on this petition and after investigating witnesses and examining the record of the evidence submitted at the trial | is of the opinion that the, attempt at this time to assail the character of a woman who is not in a pogition to speak in her own defense, is an indefensible and unwarran‘fej attack without a single fact worthy of consideration to sustain it,” the parole denial stated. ; : :
