the big drive April l6 for the control OF
the next House Of Representatives, The
Democrats will caucus on April 12. and on
April II the Republicans will assemble in
n last final effort to smooth out their DIFF
ference so that a solid vote may be cast

If the New Hampshire law Is changed so
that a successor can be elected in Repre-
sentative sideways place before April IS,
the Democrats and Republicans will each
have 2l5 members. This is predicted upon
the assumption that a Republican will sue

Democrat will take the place Of Repre-
sentative Conry, OF New York. who died
just before the last Congress adjourned

Report Favorably to Meet
Loop Fund Deficit

Councils Committee on Street Railways
will meet this afternoon to consider the
ordinance introduced two weeks ago by
Select Councilman Charles Scger providing
for the construction OF the proposed subway
in Chestnut street. Although the admins-
tration has no intention Of constructing
this tube at present except in the event
no agreement Is reached with the Philadel-
phla Rapid Transit Company on the lease,
the ordinance IL expected to receive the
committees approval.
Director Twlning has requested favor
able action in order that he may use a por-
tion of the $4,000. 900 available for this unit
Of the high-speed system TO make up n
possible deficit in the appropriation for the
subway delivery loop The $500. 600 APP
proprated for the loop. the Director feels
will fall short anywhere from s750.O00 10
SIOOO,O00 If the present high prices con-
tinue.
Tho Director plans TO meet this contin-
Eency by constructing at present that por-
tion OF the Chestnut street tube which will
cross the Broad street subway NJ Broad
and Chestnut streets and that portion which
will cross the delivery loop at Eighth and
Chestnut streets. From the point OF con.
struction these two small sections will be
considered as parts of the loop, but from a
financial point they will be considered as
parts of the Chestnut street subway. and
therefore, can be charged to the $4,000, ,OOC
available for that line

State Collects Big
Tax on Investments
Under New Law

approximately 100000 will have
been collected since July /, under the
provisions of the new Investment tax
law, according to /. statement by State
Controller Eugene NJ. Travis. This
high record mark in the tax bureau in
the State Controllers office was
reached yesterday, when it became
known that the daily receipts during
the last week had averaged sums IN
excess Of $4,000, Wednesday last being
the record day, when SsS,225 was col
lected.
Under the provisions OF the new law
any holder of an investment security
may pay TO the State Controller a tax
of 90 cents upon every 800 worth, such
tax exempting the property from all
state or local taxes for the period for
which the tax is paid, not TO exceed five
years. To accommodate those seeking
TO take advantage of this new law,
which takes the place Of the old Sc
cured debt tax statute. State Controller
Travis announced last night that his
Office would be kept open all day Sat
urday. During the last few weeks his
department has been kept open until
10 O'Clock each evening in order TO ia
cilitate the payment of those taxes
which grant exemptions from the usual
high rate imposed locally.
