Urges.
From sa- Correspondent y; n. rr.oun,

From say CORE spondeut n: IT, Tribune
Albany. May "a George McAneny.
Acting Mayor Of New York City. told
Governor Whitman this afternoon that
the direct tax to raise $40 100000 was
unnecessary. He presented figures 70
show how II could be wiped out alto
gether. or at least reduced to the So.
100000 required for interest and sink
ing funds and still enable the state to
pay all its necessary obligations.
81 believe that this has been year
of unusual stress" he said, that every
project not of an emergency nature
should be held over for an easier year,
and that the state in any even. should
check the amount of its OUTLAWS for
local rather than statewide purposes
Every village throughout the state will
feel the burden OF the direct tax call.
but | urge the case of the City Of New
York in particular, for the reason that
! believe the city, with its basis OF
literally full-assessed valuation, will
be hit hardest of all"
Mr.. McAneny expressed the belief
that the Governor could cut S5,OOO,OOO
from the legislative appropriation.
"You have already cut more than
s1,5O0,O0O from the appropriation
bills" he said. land | believe you will
cut out $l.5OO,00O more on the basis
on which you are now working
But" said the Governor, II have
got to cut out Sl,500.000 TO bring the
appropriations made by the Legislature
down to the estimated revenues Of the
state"
BESIDES this $4,000 OOO," replied Mr..
McAneny, "you can cut out $4,000 900
more"
How" asked the Governor.
Mr.. McAneny then gave him list
of items he held could be elim.nsted,
which included the following:
S325.00 for grade crossings, $500 900
for the Mohansic State Hospital. $li9,-
600 for the Greene County highway,
$4,000 for the construction of state
hospitals, $4,000 for maintenance of
state hospitals, s300,U00 for cOnstruc-
ton of state charitable institutions,
1925 900 for Highways Department sal
cries which. he said, should be taken
from the highway bond issue) and a
number of smaller items.
Mr.. McAneny held that the $1,000
600 for interest and sinking fund pur-
poses could be collected by certificates
of the State Controller, which, he said,
was permitted by the present law.
Another reason" he said, "for. cut
ting this item out of the general tax
bill is that, through the intervention
of the Constitutional Convention. it Is
quite possible the state may be author
lied to draw upoi. the existing surplus
in the canal sinking funds t cover this

have already been introduced with this
end in view. If they are passed, as
they are quite likely to be, there would

Miss Van Norden and her brother
Theodore Langdon Van Norden.
The will said that the testator LETT

their shares have already been given
them, and the amount in each case Is
more than ! now possess. NO once

admitted to probate.
After the failure OF the wan Norden

Warner VI. Van Norden went TO China
to do some missionary work. HIS re-,
turn to New York was not noted until
the will of his father was published
when he was discovered by The TrIb-
une as the proprietor of tho Lotos tea
store. al 698 Lexington Avenue. While
in China he discovered tea which he
believed would have a great demand
here. and. selling at 50 pound, he ex.
rected thus to rehabilitate himself
financially.
Van Norden was served in the pres

for 100000 there was no consider: e

Van Norden went on 10 say IN his
answer that he loaned his father var'-
Gus securities, valued at 100000, AMI
that, although he subsequently tc-
manded these, they have not been re-

Norden said, his father came into pos

direct revenues for the PRESENT year
Expect Inheritance Tax Increase.
Mr.. NcAneny said that the Controller
had figured on shrinkage Of S5.O00,0O
IN indirect taxes, but he held that this
would be four-fifths made up in the
next six months. He said that tie
next six months would show a big in
crease in the inheritance tax. While
he did not mention Alfred G.. Wander
bilt and other victims of the Lusltanls
disaster. II j. believed that he referred
to the money to be realized from their
estates. II is estimated that the tax
on the Vanderbilt estate will be $4,000
600. He said that the corporation tax
had fallen off because business men
were waiting to learn the effect Of
pcnding legislation, and that, now that
the Legislature had adjourned, revenue
from this source would pick up. The
stock transfer tax. he said. had shrunk
because of the closing OF the Stock
Exchange on account Of the war. He
said that since the reopening Of the
Exchange the receipts had mounted rap
idly. The motor tax receipts, ne said,
were also running away ahead.
To-day's Cuts by the Governor.
The Governor made the following
cuts in appropriations to-day: Educa-
ton department, s32, 237; prisons, sl32,-
PA; commission on prisons, Sl,346. and
commission on new prisons. s2,55l.
Total, Sl68,349.
This brings the total cuts up to
S1,580113. The Governor will continue
the hearings next week.
Governor Whitman was surprised to-
day on receiving letter from Charles
S. Wilson, the new Commissioner Of
Agriculture, asking him TO veto the

departments automobile. He said thai,
the cost OF maintaining the machine, in
GLIDING the chaufeur's SALARY, was
S6.l53 a year.
at Is my best judgment" said Com
missioner Wilson. "thst this item OF

may mean that the department loses
