Tells Bay State
Assessors to Go
Easy on Statements

Boston, April 23.-Henry +. Long,
state commissioner of taxation, in a
letter to assessors throughout the COM
monwealth made public tonight, urged
them to use care in fixing the tax rate
for the coming year and to make lex
trcmely conservative" statements of
the probable receipts. The revenue
from the corporation tax. the letter
said, probably will be so per cent less
than last year, while income tax re-
ccipts may fall off 90 per cent
Calling particular attention to the
situation as regards taxes on national
bank shares, Mr.. Long spoke OF the
numerous suits to recover these taxes
and pointed out that there may be a
change in the methods Of taxing the
national banks.
I'm view of the uncertainty of the
situation" the letter said, and the
possibility of the municipalities be-
ing called upon within year or more
to pay back large sums of tax money,
caution the amount that may be cred
tied to your municipality this year as
revenue from the tax on shares of ma
tional banks as well as from all other
sources. 1t also may be we'll to sefi-
ously consider the advisability of car
rying at least book surplus to meet
the emergency or until such time as
the national bank situation reaches a
final settlement

Washington, April 23--Vice Presi-
dent Coolidge, several members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
and many other persons prominent in
public, business and social life, were
among some 600 guests of the New
Willard Hotel who were routed out
Of their beds early this morning w a
fire which swept the top floor of the
10-story building.
The blaze had it's origin in the ball
room on the tenth floor where a few
hours before, Mr.. Coolidge, members of
the cabinet, senators and representa-
tives, foreign diplomats and others
had sat around the banquet board as
guests of the Gridiron Club at it's
annual spring dinner and frolic. The
fire was confined to that floor and the
roof above, but tons of water poured
into the flames, seeped through the
floors below, causing much damage.
There naturally was some confusion
and excitement as hotel attaches, po-
licemen and firemen pounded on doors
and the telephone operator on duty
called room after ROOM but all those
in the hotel got out of their apart
ments to the corridors and Hobbies in
safety. Many went to other hotels,
carrying at least part of their lug
gage with them, but scores remained
at the New Willard and returned to
their rooms after the fire had been
extinguished.
How the fire started may never be
determined, but one theory is that a
cigarette or cigar stub laid aside at
the close of the dinner found a lodg-
ing place underneath a rug or in a
fold of heavy drapery. It was 5:45

Says Wage-Cutting
Will Not Solve
.JObless Problem

Boston, April 23-Wage cutting as
a means of solving unemployment
was condemned as an economic
blunder and a social wrong by the
Rev. Jones I. Corrigan, professor of
social ethics at Boston college, in
addressing n mass meeting today
under the auspices of the Central
Labor Union to discuss unemploy-
ment.
Father Corrigan characterized the
widespread unemployment in this
country at the present time as a
national disgrace, an enormous
waste of economic resources and a
social menace that calls for immedi-
ate and drastic action by the gov
eminent, local, state, and national"
The crime wave would quickly
suhside, he said, If unemployment
problems were COPIED with. He as
serted that the present industrial
paralysis was due largely to "the
suicidal policy of profiteering prices
