C.—Income tax re ceipts were <67,541,369.41 less in the first quarter of this year than in the lame three months of 1924, it was shown in the first official figures on luarterly receipts by which the rev- >nue producing power of the present ax law was compared with the former London.—The new American am- baaaador, . Alanao% B. Houghton, speaking before a distinguished audi- lence here, which included the prime minister of Great Britain, declared in friendly but firm terms that, unless peace based on good will were re established fas Europe he - feared American assistance for the recon struction of Europe must cease. The ambassador made it clear In the course of his address that he referred not only to moral but monetary aid. Coming as it did from the former American ambassador to Germany fol lowing his recent visit to the United States and conferences with Presi dent Coolidge, the pronouncement was calculated to create a profound i fanpression upon the statesmen and diplomats gathered to hear the new ambassador and perhaps be regarded M among the most Important deliver- ed by America's envoys to the court of St. James in years. Because of Its Importance and the authoritative note which it sounded, ft was assumed by those trained in diplomacy that he must undoubtedly be voicing the views of the administration at Wash- ington. Special significance was attached to the fact that the statement comes at a time when considerable suspicion and distrust of Germany are being Voiced in various parts of Europe, particularly France, because of the election to the presidency of Field Marshal von Hindenburg, who is as serted by some to represent those re actionary forces which are inimical to the peace and interest of at least some of the allies.

Dr J. R. Morgan Office at MORO, OREGON WESTERN ROADS ASK ‘FAIR RETURN’ ORDER Washington D. C.—As, anticipated tor some time, western railroads have petitioned the Interstate commerce commission for an increase of freight rates. PractlcallyyalL of the carriers west of the Mississippi have united in the request. It is printed out that west ern roads have noj received the 5% per cent fair return permitted by law. The commission is asked to enter, "appropriate orders” . raising rates enough to increase jeturns to that point. The west would pay an additional bill of <150,000,000 annu ally if the commission should grant the rise asked. — .. . . The railroads have not filed spe cific schedules of rates they desire to Increase. They do not suggest or point out what rates they think should be raised. Rather by the move taken this week they have shot the question of the "fair return’ up to the commission, and asked that body what it Intends to do about it. If the application is pressed it will bring from the commission an important decision as to what the "fair return” provision of the transportation act means. Dr. M. F.

JAMES STEWART SHERMAN COUNTY A Washington, D. C.—The recent col lapse in grain prices after their ad- vance of last fall and winter, in the opinion of Q. E. Marcy, chairman of the.board of managers of the Grain Marketing company of Chicago, was caused by the tremendous holdings of speculators, and the misleading of the public as to the condition of the world market. Mr. Marcy, in a statement made public here, declared this misleading information made the American grain rices so much higher than the world prices during the period preceding the collapse that for the time being the American farmer lost his market and at the same time a much higher market was made for the Australian and Argentine farmers.

Dayton xs STATE EXCISE TAX DECLARED INVALGI Washington, D. C. — State excise taxes on foreign corporations engaged exclusively, in conducting an inter state business were held unconstitu tional by the supreme court. Disapproving a former decision, rendered in the case of the Baltic Mining company v. Massachusetts, the court in the case of the Alpha Port land Cement company vs. Massachu setts, asserted that the tax under consideration -was not materially dif ferent from one declared unconstitu tional in another case, that of Cheney Brothers company vs. Massachusetts. “It must now be regarded as set tled,” Justice McReynolds declared In rendering the decision, “that a state may not burden interstate commerce or tax property beyond her borders under the guise of regulating or tax ing intrastate business. So to burden interstate commerce is .prohibited by the Interstate commerce -clause and the 14th amendment does not permit taxation of property beyond a state’s jurisdiction.” FLIGHT SETS NEW RECORD PN-9 Stays In Air 28 36 Minutes.

The flight, to test her capacity for the cross-Pacfic hop, was pronounced a success in every way by naval of ficers. ’ The PN-9, observers said,, flew at an average speed sufficient to carry her farther than from San Diego to the Hawaiian islands. At the end of the 25th hour it was announced she had flown just far enough to equal the distance between San Diego and Honolulu.
