Up Matters of Interest to Workers. SEE BIG OUTGO IN 1923 By MARK II.LIVAX WASHINGTON, D C, June 1. No doubt nearly everybody goes along comfortably with the idea that next year his taxes will be lower than they Rre this year. A good many persons, including some careful business men, pre guiding their affairs on this basis. They are refraining from selling property this year, in the hope that through postponing the sale a year or two they will not have to pay the government so large a portion of the profIt as thf- would if they sold this year. Having just had a rather depressing conversation with one of the two or three men who know more about this than anybody else, it is necessary to pay that the men who are in positions' to have authoritative information do not see how the national taxes can be j reaucea lor a good many years to come. The apprpriations for the year 1923 are down to the bare bones. The outgo from the national treasury in 1923 will be $3,500,000,000. There is no one who sees how it can be reduced below that point for almost a generation. As a matter of fact, the running expense of the government has been brought down to a point that is astonishingly low. This can be shown by the briefest analysis of this $3,500,'ion.000 which must be paid out next vear. Of this sum $2,000,000,000 goes ,ui .o. u, ',u;iJu,:'7"V?IUV,' .u t? luific.M on me nauoiuu ueui, uie sinning fund, and the veterans who must he cared for. No ore of these items is apt to be less than it now is in any vear during the near future. On the contrary .the expense of caring for the veterans is likely to go up rather than iown. Normal Running Expenses Granting, then, that no reduction can be made in this $2,000,000,000, let us turn to the rest of, it. The other $1,500,000,000 Is the normal running expenses of the government. This sum cannot be reduced any more readHv than the other. The tant h . t ily than the others. The fact that even before the war the normal run-1 ring expenses of the government, were anywhere from $1,000,000,000 to $1.250,000,000. In 1916, the year before America catered the war, the normal running expenses of the government were 1 "r,fl ftflO !

It would be difficult to find any business concern or any household whose expenses for 1923 are only 20 per cent more than they were in 1916. In point of fact, the showing is really hotter than this because of the $2r.ii.O0O 000 which i added to the cost of government for 192:? over what the cost was in 191t5. fully $150,000,000 is caused by the increased volume of business in the postal serv ice, the net result of it npt result of it. is that! when you realize that the expense ot i.B me p.nernment tias neen nrougnt down to a point where it l

CHURCHILL'S REPORT ON IRELAND CAUSES FEELING OF GRAVITY

EULLETIN LONDON, June. 1 Premier Sir James Craig and the Marquis of Lon donderry, Ulster minister of educa tion arrived from Bellast today, and pri went into conference soon after with ime Minister Loyd George, and WinAt noon the cabinet convened with Mr. Lloyd George in the chair. fBy Associated Press) LONDON, June 1. Colonial Secretary Churchill's statement on Ireland in the house of commons has made a j deep impression. The serious emphasis which he laid upon the extreme gravity of the situation and the suggestion of the possibility of Great Britain re-occupying Irish territory are featured by today's newspapers as opening an ugly vista leading to incalculable trouble. The hopeful note which he sounded in conclusion receives some recogni- j tion and the editorial comment is di-, vided between these two aspects of the position, one section of the press laying chief stress on the menacing , I outlook, and the other urging theji

Approval by the reply to its ultimatum and the decision to grant Germany a provisional j nio; atoiium for the year 1922, have cleared the way for consideration ot a loan by the International committee of bankers meeting here. While in reparations circles it is thought there will be no disagreement and that a loan of probably more than $1,000,000,000 will be arranged within a few weeks, there is a. tendency in some quarters to fears that the bankers will be unable to find a solution reconciling the economic and political elements of the problem.

WARD'S STATEMENT BRANDED AS MYTH; PROBE ALL ANGLES

(By Associated Press) WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.. June 1. The entrance of one group of detectives brought into the Ward-Peters killing case by District Attorney Weeks to investigate every angle of the mysterious blackmail and shooting affair, and the exit of another group that now declare their failure to find "Ross," mentioned by Ward as blackmailer-in-chief, convinces them that "Ross" is a pure myth, marked the sixteenth day since the ex-sailor was found shot to death on the Kensicoi river road. The search of the Ward home was declared to have failed to disclose any evidence of a gun fight there, and New Rochelle policemen stated no shots were heard in the neighborhood of the Ward home. Westchester county officials are to begin another separate examination todav of all New Rochelle police on duty in or near the Ward j home on May 16, the day of the shooting according to the story told by the son of the millionaire baker. Mr. Weeks refused to answer lists of questions submitted by newspapermen on the Ward case but. he frankly admits that the mystery has him worried and that he is determined to reach the bottom of the affair. Ward, who was away when the searching party arrived at his home, arrived there shortly after they had completed their task and departed. He dashed into the house only to soon reappear and hurry away in his automobile. His face was grim and it was said he had hurried out for consultation with his lawyers. LOS ANGELES, Calif.. June 1. Miss Martha Kendall, who once filed a suit charging criminal conspiracy against Walter S. Ward, under bond at White Plains. N.

JTi'iS had not j since si Miss Kendall, a modiste, said she sfen Ward for several years hortlv after his father. Georee into her apartment and attempted to kidnap her.

I'll tell all I know if they ask me not till then." She said she concurred in the opinion of a woman friend In New York, as expressed in a letter received today. She quoted this friend whose name she declined to give as having i written: "Find the woman and you'll find the solution." JUDGE WILL DECIDE OSER'S SUITABILITY FOR RICH MARRIAGE fBv Associated Prpssl CHICAGO, June 1. Judicial Investigation of Max Oser's eligibility and qualifications as a husband for Mathilde McCormick is the next step in the international romance of John D. Rockefeller's 17-year-old granddaugh - ter and the friction between her parents. Today Mathilde has a guardian who Is said to be ready to give his consent to her marriage to the Swiss j horseman, who was her riding master during her girlhood days in the Alps. Her father, Harold F. McCormick, titular head of the International Harvester company millions, was accepted his divorced wife as a suitable : guardian for their daughter with one j exception. The horseman of Zurich is the exception, and Saturday Judga Tipnrv Hrmer ,-,f the nrnhate nnnrt lis expected to decide whether Max's 27 years' seniority over the age of his prospective bride and his comparative poverty furnish sufficient grounds to grant an injunction restraining Mr. McCormick from giving his consent to the international marriage. Fears Intrigue Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick. Mathilde's mother, expressed the belief that there were mercenary motives in Max's courtship of her daughter, who is heir to part of the Rockefeller millions, as well as some of the McCormick wealth. The marriage, Mrs. McCormick said, might subject Mathilde to "the machinations and intrigues of designing persons." The unusual, if not unprecedented, situation of an injunction petition to prevent an international marriage of the Oser-McCormick sort likely will head Mathilde's romance to a higher court, it was said today. Former Judge Charles S. Cutting, counsel for Mrs. McCormick, intimated as much if Judge Horner stamps his judicial "O. K." on Mr. McCormick's tacit ap proval of the contemplated union and j denies the petition At the suggestion of the court and the concurrence of counsel, who engaged in a verbal tilt yesterday over the petition, Mr. McCormick ha3 ' agreed to withhold consent of th marriage, at least until Saturday.
