SOviets to Control
Russian Churches
(Bv Associated Pressl

Riga Russian Soviet government
officials have decided to take stricter
control over the churches in Russia,
according to Moscow newspapers re-
ceived here A recent number of the
Isvestia says that sermons are to be
allowed only on the condition that they
are of strictly religious character.
1t appears that the Soviet govern
ment, while continuing to permit re-
ligious worship, is to present rival at
fractions in the church buildings in the
shape of lectures on Communist doc
trines.
Independent advices received in Riga
recently indicated that in some viii
lagos in South Russia the women and
old men of the peasantry had actually
come to blows with the Younger and
communistically-e generation
on religious subjects. Villages were
divided into two camps and in one re-
ported instance some casualties oc-
Cured.

JOHNS HOPKINS CUTS
HOSPITAL CHARGES
Nationwide Reduction Expected to
Follow Action of Great Baltimore
Hospital.

Baltimore, Md ar-reaching )signifi-
canoe is attached to the dictum issued
yesterday by the board of trustees of
Johns-Hopkins hospital regarding max
imum fees for operations and hospital
services. The dictum said:
"The maximum fee that any surgeon
ought to charge for an operation, no
matter <how wealthy the patient may
be, is $1,000 The maximum charge
thatsany physician ought to make for
attending patients in hospital is $35
a week"
The dictum takes on the form of an
order to physicians and surgeons prac-
ticing in the hospital, limiting fees to
be charged.
Because of the standing of Johns
Hopkins, the greatest effect of the new
ruling will not be felt in the Johns
Hopkins hospital 1t will be felt in
every corner of the United States for
the action fthe hospital trustees sets
a standard of charges for medical and
surgical treatment that will have to be
followed elsewhere, and these who
make greater charges will be in danger
of being regarded as profiteers.

POINTS DANGERS
OF FIRE HAZARDS
Simmons Company De
mands Opening of Main
Street Crossings.
TO HOLD CITY LIABLE

A formal complaint was filed on
Thursay afternoon by the Simmons
company with Mayor Joachim, City En-
gineer Brennan an City Attorney
Slater, demanding that something be
done Immediately to open up the cross
ings of Main street between Pearl
street and South street. These streets
have all been blocked as a result of the
paving of Main street and the complaint
asks that temporary plan be found to
open at least one of these crossings.
The complaint declared that the
blocking off of all these streets greatly
increased the fire hazard for the Sim
mons factory and for all property in
the neigh borhood of their large fac
tory and gave warning that should any
fire loss at these plants be increased
by reason of the continued blocking
of the street, the city would be held
responsible for it.
AS the streets are now blocked off
the fire department would be forced to
go south to English court and back by
Exchange street before it could reach
the Simmons company or any property
near it. The company asks that for
the remaining time that paving work
is being done temporary crossing be
built at Market street or, if this is
impossible, at Park street. 1t was
pointed out that the present plan of
blocking off Main street if persisted
in as it is now being carried out,
would continue for at least three
weeks-~before any part of the street
could be opened
The complaint Of the Simmons com
pany was presented by their attorneys,
R. P Cavanagh and g. A. Mittelstaed
The city officials received the com
plant and admitted that there was
justice in the complaint. Steps will
be taken Immediately to meet its de-
mands and it is expected that some
cross street will be opened to traffic or
at least be Arranged so that it could
be used in the event of a fire.

Wisconsin Supreme Court
Gives Decision on In
come Tax Ruling.
OPPOSE FEDERAL RULE
Justice Burr w. Jones Holds the
Dividends May Be Constitu-
tionally Taxed.
CBy Associated Press Leased wire}

Madison, Wis.-Stock dividends are
held to be taxable as income under the
Wisconsin constitution and statutes by
the supreme court today in an opinion
by Justice Burr W. Jones on the case
of d. M. Dulaney Of Eau Claire against
John H. Nygaard, county clerk. This
decision of the Wisconsin court is di-
rectly at variance with recent United
States supreme court ruling, the dis
tinction being based Justice Jones
points out, on different wording be-
tween the state and federal constitu-
ton.
The opinion was unanim ously agreed
in by the court.
Objected Constitutional Grounds.
The plaintiff was an owner Of stock
in a Wisconsin corporation doing bust
ness outside the state and was paid IN
stock dividends, which were assessed
and taxed as cash He objected on
constitutional grounds and carried the
case to the courts where his contention
was upheld
Both the constitution and statutes
provide for taxation of incomes, and
the statute expressly provides for the
taxation of stock dividends" the opin-
ion overruling the lower court decision
states. 1T is a question whether stock
dividends are income within the mean
ing of the constitution. and on this
point the court is of the opinion that
they are.
New York and Massachusetts have
ruled dividends taxable as incomes in
similar manner to Wisconsin. The
reasons for the distinction drawn be-
tween the state and federal constitu-
tion are explained at length in the
decision.
