Washington, D. 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.

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.

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.

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.”

Philadelphia. — The all-metal hull
PN-9 built to fly from California to
Honolulu, made a new world’s record
for non-stop flights for seaplanes
when she dipped into the Delaware
river after being in the air 28 hours
and 36 minutes. She camo down only
because sho ran out of gasoline.
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.
