BIZ Railroad Boosts

mo sooner had the announcement
of the railroad rate increase award,
and the railroad wage increase award
been made, than the international reve-
nue. officials began figuring out the in
creased tax revenue that would re-
suit" said John C. Ryan, general agent
for the Nashville, Chattanooga &c~-St.
Louis railroad.
Officials of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue calculate the additional taxes
will aggregate $38,550,000 on freight;
SIS, 700, 900 on passenger and $500, 900
on pullman charges; according to Mr..
Ryan, or a total increase in revenue
OF $60,750,000 by reason Of the advance
in passenger and freight rates.
These figures" Mr.. Ryan said, ''are
based on the transportation taxes for
the fiscal year. ending June 30, which
aggregated approximately $231,000, 900.
This sum was made up from the three
per cent tax on freight charges
amounting to $4,000 600; the eight per
cent tax on passenger tickets, supply
ing 500, 100000, and eight per cent tax
The wage award will make nearly
all railroad workers subject to the in
come tax. This will Moduce, 1t is be-
lieved, $10,O00,000 additional income tax
money for the treasury.
About $40 900, 900 is estimated as the
increased railroad income tax. So al
together, the increase in the income
tax by reason of the wage award, the
increase in the income tax of the rail-
roads, and the additional tax revenue
from the increase in freight and pas
senger rates, will produce for the gov
eminent, over $4,000, 000."

JACKSON. Miss. Aug. II. (Spl. IAN
Increase OF $s0,OoO,OOO in the personally
assessment rolls OF Mississippi for the
current year is estimated by Chairman
Duncan L. Thompson. of the state tax
commission.
II will be several weeks before the
figures are totaled showing the actual
increase, as many of the boards of SUI
perVisors are still engaged in equaliza-
ton work, Reports from a number
Of representative counties, however. in
dictate that the $40, Ou0. 900 estimate will
not be far from correct.
The increase means additional reve-
nue. for the state treasury of $270,00
This, however, does not measure the
full volume of revenue increase, for the
state tax levy was increased by the leg
islature from six and one-half mills TO
nine mills.
No new assessment of real estate is
being made this year, the land rolls for
1919 being used. The total valuation
last year, realty and personally, was
s702, 900. 900. Adding the estimated in
crease of S30,000.000 to this figure, and
computing on a nlne-mill basis, the
revenue in sight for the state for 1920
Is $6,5SS,000 against $4,56S,00 for the
previous year.
These figures apply only to ad va
loren taxes. Revenues from other
sources, it is expected, will bring up
the total for the current biennial period
sufficient TO meet the legislative ap-
preparations for the biennium of $lS,-

REUNION Of ALL
CHURCHES URGED
Anglican Bishops Appeal
Calls for New Structure"
of Christianity.

LONDON, Aug. 12.-Reunion Of
churches is urged in an appeal to all
Christian people" framed by bishops OF
the Anglican church who attended the
recent conference at Lambeth, which
was made public today In connection
with a statement by the archbishop of
Canterbury covering the work OF the
conference. The scope of the appeal,
according to the archbshop's state
ment. is limited only by the limits of
the Christian churches Of the world.
The appeal is directed to the ortho-
dox churches of the east and to the
great Roman communion OF the west.
no less than to the free churches which
nave grown to maturity among the
Anglo Saxon races. It's scope is so wide
that there can be no doubt large num-
bers Of the bishops who issued it had
IN mind those of our kith and kin in
the , great Presbyterian. Methodist,
Baptist and Congregational COM
munions with whom, although they
are separated from the church. the An
glfclan communion has so much in
common, both in faith and in prac-
Describing the plan Of union, the
statement says:
The vision embodied here IN new,
even revolutionary, The plans of re-
union whereby the Anglican church
might nope TO absorb other commun-
ions are frankly abandoned. What is
enough to include ALL"
The bishops summon all the Chris
tians TO look. not for an extended An
glician church, but for a truly catholic
church of the future, to which every
church should bring its own contribu-
ton of life and organization. No loose
federation OF independent churches IS
contemplated, but rather real organic
unity based on fundamentals, in which
there should be ample room for groups
with their own outlook and for meth
DDS such as John Wesley originally
contemplated.
The appeal points out universal
ministry as the chief need. and claims
that IAN. ,Episcopate is the one means
for providing such a ministry"
In their announcement the bishops
voice their belief that visible unity Of
the church will be found to involve ac-
ceptance Of the Bible and Of the Nicean
and Apostles Creeds, the sacraments
Of baptism and communion, and a
church as possessing not only the in
ward call Of spirit. but also the com
mission Of Christ and the authority of
the whole body"

Is ASKED OF |. c. c.

WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-Permission
to increase express rates to absorb
the wage award of the railroad labor
board at Chicago estimated at $43,S00,
sos, was asked from the interstate com
merce commission today by the Amer
lean Railway Express company.
The express company also asked au-
thority to increase by 20 per cent its
rates on milk and cream to meet the
increases granted the railroad on the
same commodities.
In its petition the company stated
the increase in operating expenses re-
sulting from the labor boards decision
would make its estimated yearly deficit
$685. $50. This deficit. the company
said would be covered by the govern
ment guarantee up to Sept. /, but afte.
that date it would require increased
rates.

there was a wide disparity between
