SENATOR CALDER ASKS
REVENUE LAW REVISIOVN
Talks to Business Men at Bush
Terminal Club.

Senator Calder was the guest OF the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
tion at luncheon at the Bush Terminal
Club, 273 Thirty-seventh street, Brook
lyn, yesterday, and made brief ad-
dress on national issues. When the Sen
ator was introduced by William j.
Sharp, president Of the association, he
was given three cheers.
Senator Calder spoke for revision OF
the internal revenue law so as to lessen
the burden of taxation. He thinks this
necessary to continued prosperity. He
favors increasing tax exemption to-
emption to $4,000 and lowering surtaxes.
The Senator deplored the high cost of
running the Government and said he
would like to see this cost drop to
SO. 100000, 600, recalling that 1t was only
81, 600, 100000. 1t is his purpose, he
added, to do all he can to bring about
the reductions desired.
No mention Of the tariff was made In
this address, but before going to the
Bush Terminal Club Senator Calder re-
ferred to the new act In addressing a
MONDAY crowd Of workers at Thirty
seventh street and Third avenue. He ad-
vised the workers that before voting they
should look back to the unemployment
period and compare that time with the
ever Frightening present"

MINNESOTA ARMORY
SHUT TO LA TOILETTE
Barred Also From Speaking
in Fair Grounds.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 1.-Senator La Toilette
of Wisconsin was denied the use of a
building in the Minnesota State Fair
grounds at Mankato in which to make a
political speech. Then he was barred
from the. armory because of his war
record
The Governor of Wisconsin thereupon
protested to the Governor of Minnesota
and it was explained that La Toilette
was barred from the fair grounds be-
cause the $1,000 rental fee had not been
paid.
The $1,000 charge was decided on
lately, after the fair board had been put
to an expense of $3.50 because of a meet
ing at which w. j. Bryan spoke.
The result of it all was that Mankato
did not hear La Follette's speech. But
he is still in Minnesota advising the cleo
tion OF Shipstead, Farmer-Labor candi-
date for Senator.

Legislation and Direct
State Tax.

Taking Out Most of High
Priced Jobs

Mayor Hylan issued a statement
yesterday explaining the increase ..

adopted Tuesday night by the Board o!
Estimate and Aprortionment and totals
$3.50. .35i Sl2
He pointed out that the tax rate has
decreased about 4 points to $210 On
500 ''due mainly to the increase m
land values in outlying sections and the
large volume of building construction
not to any increase in the assessed
values of buildings other than those
recently constructed"
If It had not been for mandatory legis-
1ation and the State tax of 81, 2,59o,629
he. said, the tax rate would have de-
creased at least 10 points. He con.
tinued:
"In addition to this direct State tax
the people of New York city are COM
PEELED to pay about 70 per cent of tn
total cost of State Government. Be-
sides this the city pays out of it's own
treasury direct, several million dollars
a year for State activities imposed by
law"
The Mayor also referred to an item
of $S,3S0,oO0. interest charges under th@
dual subway contracts.
"The taxpayers" he said, "1ay this
for the construction of the sLbways
while the profit from the city owned
subways go into the pockets OF the

In regard to salaries he said:

MANHATTAN'S FEDERAL TAX
TO BE REDUCED $I43 900 900
Bowers Estimates $8O,OOO,OOO Less Than Last Year on
Incomes, s45,5OO,oOO on Transportation and
$17,500,O00 on Luxuries.

Federal taxes in the Second district OF
New York. which comprises the borough
of Manhattan, will be S143. 100000 less
this year. owing to changes in the in
come tax rules and the abolition Of cer-
tain sales and luxury taxes ordered by
the Revenue act Of 1921.
Frank G. Bowers, Collector of Internal
Revenue in this district, published the
result of a survey showing what tn. new
law has saved to taxpayers in New York.
The saving, he said, is divided as fol-
lows: Income tax, SS0,000,000; trans
portation tax. s45.500,000, and sales and
luxury tax, $17,544.000.
Discussing the items separately he
said that during the four years the
transportation tax has been in force II

senger. s9.567.E1; Pullman. $111,561,

CASSIDY SAYS LONDON
IS LABOR'S SOLE VOICE
Charges Plot Against Socialist

The outstanding feature Of the Ameri-
can Congress. distinguishing it from
all other representative bodies, is that
labor has only one member. whereas
all other interests have many Edward
+. Cassidy, Socialist and Farmer-La Dor
nominee for Governor. said last night
in his address at the Lafayette Casino,
10 Avenue D.
The steel trust. the railroad trust
and all the profiteering combinations
have their spokesman in control through
their control of the Dem-Republcan
party" he said American labor has
the ballot box and has not learned to
use 1t for it's protection. He works and
strikes together. but has not learned
to vote together.
THE one member of Congress who
is free to fight for labor is Congress-
man London. and he is opposed by the
Demo-Republican party. Fraud, Illegal
registration and the employment, of
guerrillas have all been brought into
play against him. The politicians have
even gerrymandered the Londcn district
by detaching solid London neghbor-
hoods and adding Chinatown and part
of the Bowery lodging house district
to his district, and in that way hope
to beat him."

MEXICAN FIRING SQUAD
EXECUTES GEN. .MURCUIA
Rebel Leader Captured Asleep
Behind Altar.

Special Dispatch to THE NEw York; HERALD
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1.-Gen Francisco
Murguia, rebel leader, who was captured
by Federal troops under Gen. Angel
Carmora in the little village of Tepe-
huanos. Durango, last night was exc
cuted by firing squad this morning
after a swift court-martiaf trial.
Murguia. who was Governor OF Goa
hula under Carranza, was with his
chief when the latter was killed. Since
then he has headed several revolution
airy attempts. About two months ago
he was in command of a rebel army of
nearly 1000 men. but recently his band
was cut to pieces in a clash with Gov
ernment troops at Guarache in the State
of Durango.
Murguia was hiding in Tepehuanos
behind the high altar Of a church and
was asleep when captured.

manufacturers excise taxes, S3,67S,952.
A number of income tax reductions
account for the saving Of $s0,O00.OOO, he
said
To date the current year collections
on income amount to 1926. 200, ,00O, as
against S49S, 900. 900 for the same period
last year. or a reduction in collections OF
1852, 600, 900, or more than one-half. A
comparison is made between the number
OF taxable and non-taxabe returns filed
this year and the corresponding amount
flied for 1921. Taxable returns for 1924
show a decrease of 32 per cent. whereas
non-taxable returns show an increase
OF 81 per cent.
"How far this reduction will effect the
entire country 1t is too early to deter
mine," said Mr.. Bowers, but based on
past records and the ratio or the New
York office with the balance of the
United States. it Is safe to state that
this year will see saving to the tax
payers of $750,000, 900"
