CONN. PEOPLE ASK
 FOR REFUND ON TAX
Claims for SS,000,O00 Back
 'LeYieS Illegally Collected

Hartford, June 10.-An endeavor to pay up back taxes illegally col lected during the year 1921 will get preference over all other work in the income tax unit of the internal de- partment in Washington according to dispatches received. For the state of Connecticut there are 270 refund claims for back taxes on file in the in- ternal revenue office here, amounting to over $200, 900 and the news from Washington will be welcome to those 270 taxpayers in the state who feel that they paid too much on the last income tax. This number of refund claims as given out today by Collector of Internal Revenue Robert O. Eaton includes, however, claims for all kinds of federal taxes as we'll as the income tax, though the majority of the claims are for illegal collections on the latter.
 The fact that President Harding asked congress on Tuesday for S2S,- s14,500 to repay these illegally col lected taxes is said to lend consider able weight to the report that the in- come tax unit is about to busy itself with this problem before it goes ahead with making additional assessments. The money in the hands of the de- partment is believed to be dwindling away fast and in order that the pay ments of refunds be successfully ac- complished, 8 replenishment is evil dently necessary
 $S,OOO0OO In Abatement Claims
 In addition to the s200,000 in re- funds claims in the internal revenue department here, Collector Eaton said there was approximately ss,- o00,00o in abatement claims filed from Connecticut taxpayers, the difference between the two kinds being that the former taxes have been paid in to the government and the taxpayers want their money back, whereas the datter were not paid.
 Collector Eaton pointed out that the claims were merely claims that the filing of a claim did not necessa rily mean that the payment on the tax was illegal. After q proper investigation, he said those which were found to be illegal would be refunded from Wash ington directly and not from his office as all refunds on back taxes are by the commissioner of in- ternal revenue.

dities, the retail price in the money market lags, about six months to a year. behind the wholesale price of the money market This means that the rates in the wholesale money mar ket go up and down from six months to a year before the average business man and home builder is affected. It takes nearly a year for cotton to get from the plantation to the shelves of the department store. Hence, 1t may be several months before the retail cotton goods trade gets the advantage of decline in the price of raw cot ten. It is the same way with money as with cotton. It Is some months after the decline in the wholesale price of money before the business man and the home builder get the advantage in the decline of rates. The bankers are not to blame for this. It Is economic law. As it takes some time for the bankers to raise the re- tail interest rate for money after the wholesale rate advances, so 1t takes a considerable time. for the retail rate to decline after the wholesale rate declines"

 Being, asked how this is to affect the average man during the next year MT. Babson replied as follows:
 This means that the average man will be able to borrow money much cheaper during the next few years than he has been able to borrow dur ing the past five years. It means that borrowers should now avoid borrow ing for long terms at high rates. It means that there will be decline in the retail price of money the same as there has been a decline in the whole sale price of money. It means that money will be more available for the

DOUGLAS ISLAND NEWS
BACCALAUERATE SERMON

Rev. C. G.. bruce, OF the Northern
Light Presbyterian Church in Juneau
Yesterday afternoon in the COngrega-
tional Church preached the bacca-
lauerate sermon to the members of
the graduating class of the Douglas
High School.
In his sermon Rev. Bruce dwelt
upon the forming of character which
is of the greatest Importance to the
young student. as he starts out upon
the journey of life. AS an Illustration
of his point he told about two young
men; one had been brought up to
think for himself and the other has
always been told what to do. The
former had attained great success
through the strength of character he
had developed while the other had
scarcely developed in any way at
all, and had not been successful.
The Lesson thus derived should
prove of great value to the graduates
if followed.

Bolivia, which, together with Peru

TO the cases of Poland and Jugo-

Swedes Coming to u. S.
From the Aaland Islands

STOCKHOLM, May 15.-Thc ex-
odus OF Swades from the Aallnd
Islands TO the United States has be
gun. Several groups OF about 50 per-
sons each already are on their way
to America.
Sweden appears to be alarmed over
this new tide of emigration, although
it is not large in volume. but no
student of the Aaland situation is
surprised. The islands. which lie in
the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia
between Sweden and Finland, were
claimed by both countries after the
separation of Finland and Russia.
About a year ago the Council OF the
League OF Nations awarded the
islands to Finland.
Sweden accepted the decision, but
the Aalanders have never made any
secret of their disappointment, the
Overwhelming majority of them be
ing of Swedish blood. The popula-
ton of the islands is only about 25.-
zoe and Sweden is anxious to have
this stock remain Swedish even un.
der Finnish rule.
The Stockholm press says that the
Aalanders are among the best that
the Swedish race has to offer, being
physically strong, hard working and
and from the American
point of view. "desirables."

victory. and as furnishing to Ire

means of eventually attaining all its
demand. The Free States are also

tutional agitation for home rule and
by many men who We're formerly

to enforce it.
They are understood to be in as
sociation with the Irish party in
America which differed with Mr.. De
Valera when he was in the United
States.
Anti-Treaty Party
Though the anti-,reaty party is
more homogeneous than the treaty
party, it, too, is not quite uniform in
opinion. A determination to resist
the treaty by all legitimate means is
common to the whole party. Some of
it would include armed force among
the legitimate means. But the whole
party is not committed to the plan
of De Valera for a republic exter-
nally associated with the British En-
pire. That plan was an attempt to
make the London negotiations fruit
full without sacrificing the Republi-
can principle. But the main force
of the anti-treaty party is in its as
sertion of undiluted and unqualified
Rcpublicanism The most conspicu-
Gus figure among the undiluted Re
publicans is Liam Mellowes.
Though the De Valera party long
remained undecided whether to con
sert to contests the elections, or even
whether the election will be per-
mitted, it prepared sheafs of election
leaflets.
War by Both Sides
Probably this was the first time
when electors had been threatened
with war by both sides. The Free
Staters argument was that the al
tentative to the treaty was war witt
England and their opponents retorted
by saving that If Griffith and Col
Inns won the elections the civil war
would destroy the country.
Great material for the De Valera
