Railroads Get Authority
 to Raise Rates to Yield
 Billion and Half. Dollars
Freight Tariffs Are Increased One Third, Passenger Fares One Fifth and Pullman Charges One Half; East Gets 40 Per Cent Increase in Cargo Charges, West
 p, From Rockies te Pacific

on the aggregate value of the rail- road property under the transporta- ton act. The aggregate value of all railroads was estimated by the com. mission at 1S,9O0, 100000, as against a book value of S20.04O, 900 900 given by the carriers.
 Raise Passenger Rates
 The 20 per cent increase in pas senger fares, excess baggage charges and milk transportation rates and the 30 pei cent surcharge on Pullman fares will be general. Freight rate increases will vary according to ter ritOry with 40 per cent in the east. p per cent in the south, 35 per cent in the west-from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains-and territory-from east of the Rockies to the Pacific coast, not including Alaska
 The commission said that the in- creases were justified in view Of the rapidly changing price conditions and the necessity for providing adequate transportation facilities during and after readjustment.
 From figures submitted by the car riers, it was unofficially estimated that the apportionment of the ad- varces would be about $1.2S5, 300 900 on freight, $233 ,SO0,OO0 on passenger, $4S.000,000 on Pullman, $4,500,00 on milk and $1,4OO,OOO on excess bag gage.
 On the same calculations, eastern roads would get the most. receiving approximately sS73, ,93O 900, as com pared with 59,4S9, ,OOO for all the western lines, and $135.29S,00O for the southern carriers.
 Increased charges on freight alone was estimated as equaling a levy of SIP per capita per annum for every woman, man and child, passing the nations population at 105.000,000 for 1920.
 Increases in passenger. Pullman and excess baggage rates were those asked by the roads. Freight increas- es requested were 39.75 for the east ern roads, 32.03 for western roads and 3S.91 for southern roads. the total estimated to yield s1,S56. 900 900 The eastern roads were granted one quarter of one per cent more than they sought, the western roads ap- proximately what they sought. but the southern roads received approxi- mate IA per cent less than they had requested.

BUDGET I FOUR MILLIONS FUR TWELVE
 MONTHS
Half of Sum Estimated fOl. State Expense to Go for
 Education

PHOENIX, July 31. The net amount to be raised by tax levy in June 30, 1921, is $41S1, ,696O4, accord. ing to the annual budget compiled by State Auditor Jesse l.. Boyce for sub. mission to the tax commission. The commission will next Monday begin its sittings as a state board of equal ization and will be guided to some ex- tent by the budget.
 Total appropriations amount to $4,- 6S1, ,696,04, but there is to pc a S5OO,- 900 deduction, because of a balance of $100,000 in the state treasury and because of revenue from sources out side the state, it was said at the aud itor's office. This is the first time in the history of the state that there has been a balance in the treasurys gen. eral fund at the time of making ap- pripriation for the following year. Auditor Boyce pointed out.
 In the 1921 budget, education and educational institutions come in for nearly half the entire sum, while the appropriation estimated as necessary for the session of the next 1egisla- ture was fixed at $75,000.
 Charles R. Howe, member of the state tax commission, to which the budget was submitted, said he had not yet studied the document, but that in his opinion, an appropriation for S500,000, asked for by the voca- tional educational department of the state. was exorbitant. He said that while he understood that the work had grown, de did not believe it had expanded to such an extent that Dr. R. H. H. Blome, director, snou;d ask for so large an amount in additional to the fund received from the federal government. The appropriation last year was s1S2,00O.
 The new budgets total was declar- ed by officials to be considerably low CT than for the fiscal year ending June 30 last.
 The state board of equalization will readjust property assessments as may be deemed necessary and fix the state tax rate.

WANT CHEAPER
 WATER FREIGHT
Shippers Say Lake Boats Charge Higher Rates
 Than Railroads
(Assonaird Prrss Lelt-d H'irrJ

AYES, Iowa, July 31.- Equaliza- ton of water and rail freight rates on grain and farm products from Chicago to Buffalo and New York was asked today by the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation executive com mittee in a telegram to the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was in an effort tc find some means of reliev- ing the general freight congestion especially as it effects Iowa and points west of Chicago.
 Reports to the conference were that he present freight tariffs by rail to Buffalo are less than by wa ter from Chicago, with the result that boats are not being used for the transportation of grain and farm products as much as they might, and probably would be if the rates were the same, It was the opinion Of speakers that use of the water route would not only relieve the rail traf- fife from Chicago eastward, but also would work out to cause quicker re- turn of freight cars sent to the east ern markets.

CHICAGO, July 31. - Police tonight were working on two theories in con nection with the death of Samuel T. A. Lofts, wealthy diamond merchant found dead in his apartment last night with Ruth Woods, a hotel bookkeeper, who first declared he had suddenly fallen dead after she had called for help when he insulted her" but later admitted that his death came after a friendly tussel with her"
 One theory was that cerebral hem declared which caused MT. Lofts death, was the result of a fall pos sibly accidental The other was that Lofts had been hit on the head with a broken whiskey bottle found near his pajama-clad figure. In efforts to check up the statements made by Miss Woods and her fiance, Roy Shayne, who told the police he rush. ed to the apartment following a tel ephone message from Miss Woods that she was being insulted, police had Miss Woods re-enact the taxi-cab ride she said she took after leaving Shayne with the dead body. Miss Woods said a taxi was called by Shayne and that after she had ridden a short time, the chaffeur's brother got into the car and attempted to at tack her.

 A still worse calamity, from the Irish point of view, is that the Dub- lin horse show, an annual event in which every lrishman is deeply in- terested, will either have to be can celIed or become mere parody of the usual exhibition. 1t has been learned that Visoount French, lovd lieutenant of Ireland, will not at- tend.

cARRANISTAS HELP cANTU

LOS ANGELES, Calif, July 31- Many former followers of the late President Carranza are involved in a plot to make Governor Esteban Cantu president of Mexico. Eduardo Ruiz, representative here of tie provIsIonu, government of Mexico, said today.
 Ruiz accused Governor Cantu of be- ing "reactionary" and described him as the head of revolutionary Carranzistas," political blunderer' and the greatest figure of political camouflage in the history of Mexico '
 The de facto government of Mexico intended, Ruiz said, to make Cantu a federal officer at Mexico City and to appoint Baldomero A. Armada gov ernor of Lower California. The gov ernor's refusal to give up his office to Armada changed the governments plans.
