BANDITRY REIGNS IN EAST
HyIan Asks Citizens of New York To
Aid in the Move To Stamp
Out Crime.

New Worthwhile the Police De-
partment was making every endeavor
to tighten its strength to deal with the
present serious reign Of banditry, Carl
Tlederman, motor salesman and for
mer aviation instructor in the United
States Army, was held up, shot twice
and robbed when in a lonely spot in
the upper regions Of the Bronx. His
two wounds are severe and he is not
expected to recover The two men
who held him up and shot him after he
| showed resistance escaped. One bulet
struck Tiederman in the hip and the
other passed through his back and per-
forated his chest. Mayor John +. Hy-
IAN issued statement in which he
asked everyone to cooperate with the
police TO stamp out the epidemic of
hCld-ups and shootings. THE police
of the city, he said, "are using every
possible effort for the protection Of
life and property. 49,
There is throughout the country ut
the present time great criminal army
that cares not what means it Uses TO
ply its nefariOus trade. Life means
nothing to it in it's pursuit for ill-be-
gotten wealth. AS the outgrowth of
the war many persons OF criminal ten
denotes have been educated in the use
of firearms and have little regard for
human life. The criminal class un-
fortunately has been augmented from
those who sees the easy method Of
making money in preference to daily |
labor This condition applies not only |
to New York, but to every city through
out the United States"
The Mayor urged all judges 10 i'm
pose upon all criminals severe sen
fences. The Mayor urged business
men to arm their messengers carrying
valuable parcels, and advised hotel
men to have their guests lock their va
riOus apartments.

which it will go have not been set out

travel far toward making the first day

Soviet Government has announced dis
continuance of the daily bulletins, says
a Moscow dispatch to the Daily Herald

REFERENDUM Begun
AT FEDERAL CAPITAL
REVISION OF TAXES is THEME
ON WHICH BUSINESS MEN ARE
AsRED TO DECIDE.
QUESTIONABLE Mailed BY Commerce
Chamber-Fifteen Proposals Are
Listed For Observation-Disclosures For
Present eevies Are included.

Washington,-A proposed program
of Federal tax revision suggesting IA
dical changes in present methods o.
levy was submitted to referendum
vote by the United States Chamber OF
Commerce. The proposals were pre-
pared by the Chambers Committee on
Taxation, which has made almost 4
years study Of the subject, In sending
out the proposals the Chambers Board
Of Directors made it clear that the
board itself neither approved nor dis
scented from the report. The sole pur-
pose Of the referendum, 1t was ex-
planned. was to obtain the opinion of
the cOuntry's business organizations.
The propositions upon which the Cham
their views were;
l. The excess profits tax should be
repeated.
y. Revenues derived from the excess
profits tax should be obtained from
taxes on incomes,
3, There also should be excise taxes
upon certain articles Of wide use, but
nor OF nfSt necessity.
!. Should Il sales tax be levied IN
stead of the taxes mentioned in the
second and third proposals?
5. Should sales FAX be levied In
addition to such taxes as are men
toned in the second and third PROPOSE
lions?
g. Members voting in favor of Pro
poSalS 4 or 5 are asked to Indicate the
type of sales tax they advocate
whether general turnover tax, linn
tied turnover tax or a retail sales tax.
T. There should be a moderate and
graduated undstributed earnings tax
or corporations.
8. Each individual stakeholder of
corporation should pay his own nor
NAL tax.
8. Incomes from any new issues of
securities that may lawfully be made
subject to Federal tax should be tax
able.
10. American citizens resident
abroad should be exempted from the |
American tax upon income derived |
abroad and not RENTED to the United |
States.
IL. Profits arising from sale of cap
ital assets should be allocated over the
period in which earned and taxed at
the rates for the several years in the
period.
II. An exchange of property Of
similar nature s4.Ould be considered
merely as being replacement
Is. Net losses and inventory losses
III any taxable year should cause re-
determination Of taxes on income of
the preceding year.
If. A&cert1inment by the Govern
ment of any tax based on income
should precede payment.
IL. Administration Of income taxa
ton should be decentralZed.
The committees judgment with re-
gard to a sales tax was declared to
be that it was inpracticable The
committee made it plain that, in it's
opinion, the Governments expenses
would remain high for a long time,
and explained that the revision it pro-
posed was not aimed at reducing The
amount of yield, but in changing the
manner Of levying importont taxes.
"Frank recognition Of the situation"
the committee said, "bringS realization ,
that the country must continue for

EARTH TODAY REACHES POINT
MOST DISTANT FROM THE SUN
100000 Miles Farther Away Than at
Nearest Approach, About January l.
Principle of Solar Parallax.

The earth reaches its greatest dis
tance from the sun today, revolving
5000, 900 miles farther away from the
sun than 1t did at its nearest approach
about the first Of January.
The question of the suns distance
from us, which involves the astro-
nomicaI principle of the solar parallax
in finding the apparent position OF q
heavenly body. has long been one OF
the most interesting Of all astronomi-
cal problems.
To the astronomer as we'll as to
the layman there IS much in the me-
chanics of the heavens which Is CAL
culated to awaken conceptions as to
the stupendous scale on which the
heavens are constructed, and all en-
braced in what astronomers regard
| the noblest problem in astronomy
| the solar parallAx. For the past cen-
earth's orbit as the standard Of meas
ure for the universe, astronomers 8
from Tycho Brahe and Calico to the
present time have been studying the
| question of the suns distance from
! the consideration of its temperature
seemingly so near and yet so far.
For hundreds of years astronomers
hoped to ascertain the suns distance,
having the occurrence of the transit
of Venus and the repeated opposi-
tion Of Mars and eclipse phenomena
as the basis to solve this problem
and to come to some permanent set
tlement of the statistics of our solar
/ system. but they failed. so many were
| the conflicting conclusions of all the
various quantities upon which the
suns parallax depends.
After years of exhaustive observa-
iions through all the phenomena
upon which the suns parallax de.
pends. and mathematical rules Of
reliability by the most learned
astronomers Of the world. 1t is an
, honor to the progress of American
| astronomy to recall that on the ques-
| tion of the solar parallax and light

JUG0SLAWA IN GRIP
Of NATIONAL CHAOS
Constitution Adopted, Still
Subject of Controversy.
Dynasty Tangled.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BELGRADE. July 6.-Jugoslava Is
going through critical period. AL
though the constitution was voted
in principle May ~, the details con-
tinue to be the subject Of long and
bitter controversy. The opposition
groups are apparently seeking to
avoid any responsibility for the new
constitution. SO as to leave the door
open for a revision campaign at some
future date. The government, on the
other hand, is urging the constitents
to press on their work, as 1t wishes
the kingdodm to receive its definite
charter before the death of King
Peter. who has been seriously i'll.
The dynasty question gives rise to
two small difficulties. legal rather
than political. which it is desir-
BILE to settle at the earliest possible
date. The first is that King Peter
was elected king in 1903 as Serbian
citizen without declaration that he
continued the dynasty of his father
and grandfather. Consequently. it
might be held that by reason of the
form of the election his brother.
Prince Arsene. and his nephew,
Prince Paul, are not members of the
royal family. The second point is
that King Peters eldest son, George,
renounced his claim to the succession
in 1909 and became ineligible to the
throne of Serbia, but not necessarily
to that Of Jugoslavia.
