Taxes Under Present

WASHINGTON. March 23.
Official reports on the March pay
ments indicate to treasury offi
cials that their estimate of receipts
for the quarter will be borne out.
.The 4 March installment had
been calculated at $430,000,000
and receipts for the fiscal' year
placed at $1,660,000,000 in the
treasury program. Secretary Mel
lon, and. Upder-Secreta.ryjW'instion
also had expected that 8 0 per cent
of the March! payments would be
in the hands of collectors by
March 21, for certification to the
treasury and their figures : they
said today, show that' the total on
Saturday approximated 80 percent
of the $430,000,000.
While the trend thus indicated
has given .the treasury, a feeling
of security as to the income, of the
government in the current fiscal
year, no 6ne, in the secretary's
opinion, can tell at this time the
full effect : of the , reduced ' rates

REBUILD CITIES

MURPHYSBORO, I1L, March 23
( By the f Associated Press ) .
While hearses and ambulances
still threaded their way .through
streets with the dead and Injured,
the wrecked f towns of southern
Illinois resounded today to the
noise of carpenters' hammers and
saws as they started repairing or
rebuilding hundreds of homes,
business places and industries
wrecked by Wednesday's tornado.
The whole city was jubilant to
night over an announcement late
today by Vice President Norris of
the Mobile and Ohio railroad, that
thejrailroad shops here employing
1400 men, which were destroyed
with an estimated loss of $1,500,-
000, will be rebuilt.
Added to this was the statement
of the Brown Shoe company of St
Louis, one of the city's" largest
factories, that.it will build a larg
er plant than was destroyed by
the wind and fire.
Today scores of families, living
in army tents as : close as they
could get to their wrecked homes,
and others living In one room or
an improvised shelter made from
the wreckage, attacked with ap
parent cheerfulness what to the
casual -visitor seemed a herculean
task the virtual rebuilding of a
completely wrecked section of the
city. Other towns and Tillages In
the stricken area reported similar
activity and those who came
through the district today report
ed that every town in the path of
the cyclone had started its recla
mation Work.j .;-1 ;
Murphysboro's dead increased
by one during the day, bringing
the total tonight to 201 known
victims with hundreds still In,, hos
pitals. It Is difficult for one to
make a trip through the tornado
district and not believe . many
more casualties are In the ruins, .
Great piles of wood and brick
which once were homes have never
been disturbed. There Is' no com
plete list of the missing. In the
part burned over by : fire, there
never will 1 be any accurate - ac
counting of how many perished.
Insurance adjustment bureaus
and insurance companies repre
sentatives today Invaded the city
in; large numbers.! Bankers and
insurance companies representa
tives estimated the loss at upward
of $4,000,000 Inclnding the $1,
500,000 damage to the Mobile and
Ohio shops. It was ' estimated
that only about 15 or 20 per cent
of the wrecked buildings were ac
tually covered by , tornado Insur
ance, although most of them car

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. March 23.-
(By the Associated Press).- The

of the navy engineering, in foster

Owen J, Roberts, attorney for the

"Robinson wanted to get oil and

said Mr. Roberts. "But he didn't
want to go to congress for them.
So he planned the leasing of Tea
pot Dome and the use of royalty
oil accruing to the government as
a medium of exchange with which
to build great, storage tanks and
acquire a large supply of fuel oil
as a part pf his war plans for the
navy." : - - ' -

Referring at another point to
Robison's connection with the
case, Roberts said that the admiral
was T a very pliant person in the
hands of Albert B. Fall. then sec
retary of the interior, who ex
plained the lease to Harry F. Sin
clair's Mammoth Oil company.
'Drainage - pf . Teapot Dome,"
said Mr." Roberts, "was not the
reason for. the lease. Robison, as
chief engineer of the navy, thought
that fighting; branch Of the govr
erhmenf ought to have great oil
stores, His egotism in handling
the project! for the navy made him
a very pliant peraon in the hands
of Fall, v He7 didn't care a rap who
got the lease or how it was made,
as long as he obtained for ' the
navy- enough royalty oil to carry
out his plan and without going, to
congress tor it.
Plans Synchronize
. .''Fall had one object: Robison
had another and they were wholly
different, but this particular
scheme of leasing the great - re
serve met the needs of both." -
Mr. Roberts attacked the entire
structure of the lease as without
the foundation of law. Section
after section he cited of the agree
ment and branded all' of them as
lncompatable with the ' intent of
the act -of June 4, 1920' under
which the transfer of the reserve
to : the Interior department was
made.;.' . .'. .
As one contention - against the
excuse that the. reserve; was leased
to forestall drainage by the wells
on the adjacent Salt Creek field.
Mr. Roberts pointed out that the
contract allowed - six months for
the drilling of twenty wells; that
only 15 of the wells eventuaUy
were drilled, and that only three
of these were placed near the

. The bill bars the teaching of

represented a " distinct protest
against an irreligious tendency to
exalt " so-called science ; and end
the bible' in some schools 'and
quarters a tendency fundament
ally wrong and fatally mischievous
in Its effects oh our children, our
institutions and our country." '
The 'bill contravenes neither

"fixed principles in the country."

' The Santiam question started in
