meTtaci6p, que nnnca ha existido, y
de csa manera no tendremos Ia pena
de contemplar imposiciones discrimina-
torias sobre la base de la desigual-
dad EN- las valoraciones.
La falta de estudio de muchas cues
tiones relacionadas con la imposition
y. cobso de contribuctppes, PcRsiona
graves dailos al pueblo, y resalta la
vista la poca discretion len algunas
disposiciones. Hace algunos dias Ell De
partamento de Hacienda Sc gasto al
rededor de quinientos d6lares para
anunciar todos los interesados que
va habia pasado la fecha fijada por
la Ley para hacer solicitudes de revi-
sion de tasaci6n, 10 cue Sc avisaba pa
ra conocimiento de los contribuyentes.
De acuerdo con la Legislation esta-
dual sobre tasaci6n imposition de
contribuciones, los tasadores de Ia
Propiedad antes de dar comienzo q sus
trabajos fjan avisos al pnblic0 en-
Ia prensa anuncisndo Ia fecha en- que
Sc dara principle los trabajos y Guam

todos los contribuyentes radiquen sus
deelaraciones juradas, con I'm estado

Ger solicitudes.''
No hay duda que las Leyes de Rem
tas son las mas delicadas que pueden
existir en- un pals, en- cuanto que
elias tienden desposeer. a los ciudada

Bible Class's Party
Is Delightful Affair

Methuselah would not have been
in the running if all who attend
ed the birthday party Of the ".
+. Watson Memorial Philathea
Bible Class held in the First Bap-
fist Church last night had added
their ages one to the other and
made one old person. If such
had been the case Methuselah
would have appeared mere IN
FAINT in arms in comparison. The
secretary refused to give out the
amount received from the assess
ment of one cent made on each
year of the age of each one at
tending. THE older, the more
the welcome" was the way they
put it. And, it is sad. some
were extremely welcome although
none had to pay more nan Il
dollar.
More than sixty of the mem
beers and their friends were pres
ent. A buffet supper was served
and delightful program given by
members of the class. The guests
were welcomed by the president
of the class, Mrs. Downey.

RAILROADS MAKE
SPLENDID GAINS
Railway Association Reports
Remarkable Progress Dur
ing Year 1922.

Notwithstanding the handicaps
the coal strike, the railroads of the
country. during 1922, made a great
deal OF progress. according to the an
nual report of the car service division
of the American Railway Association.
"Comparing the last six months"
the report says. "of the last four
years it will be noted that the total
loading for 1922, the period covering
the shopmen's strike. was only eight
tenths of ! per cent less than the
corresponding six months of 1920, the
record loading in the history of rail-
way operation"
The total commodity loading of cars
In the last six months of 1922 was
23,465,12
Car Shortage Noted.
Discussing the subject of car sur
plus and car shortage. which is also a
transportation shortage. the report
"Attention is directed to the large
available surplus of equipment during
the fall of 1918, the first seven months
of 1919, the entire year of 1921. and
the first eight months of 1922. Subse-
auent to August. 1922. cart shortage
throughout the country existed to
marked degree, yet it will be noted that
when freight car shortage was at its
peak in October, 1922, this figure did

tionS in price levels and shipments,
and will put at work more Of the idle
capital during surplus car periods and
make less acute the transportation
shortages which only exist during a
few months of any year"
Improving Equipment.
That the railroads are making good
their equipment, impaired during the
shopmen's strike, is indicated. The
number Of cars awaiting repairs on
July 1, 1922, when the strike began.
The highest numbers of cars and loco
motives awaiting repairs were found
in August and September, when at
one time 345,013 cars were awaiting
repairs, and at another time: 20,157
locomotives. On January 1. 1928, the
number Of cars awaiting repairs was
only 216,011, and locomotives. 5,549.
1t is we'll understood that there 1s
constantly a considerable NUMBER OF
cars and locomotives awaiting repairs;
The railroads during 1922 increased
their capacity by purchases of many
new cars and locomotives. The total
orders for new equipment placed by
the railroads in 1922 were: Freight
cars. 136,718; locomotives, 2,709, and
passenger cars, 1882.
Great Progress Made.
Robert S. Binkerd, vice chairman of
the committee on public relations of
the eastern railroads., commenting
upon the year 1922 from the financial
standpoint of the railroads said:
ITO have carried more traffic at
lower rates; to have withstood in
creases in cost of railroad fuel and
taxes; to have suffered from two great
national strikes, and at the same time
to have increased net earnings from
s616 ,000, 900 in 1921 to $777.000,000 in
1922 is an accomplishment which
speaks for ITSELF"

BOND QUOTATIONS
LITTLE CHANGED
New Issues Are Eagerly Alb.

BY GEORGE #. HUGHES,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Today's
bond market was a repetition of the
markets Of the week so far with con-
tinued reaction in high-grade and
continued speculation of those Of Sec
ond and third grade. There was not
quite so much activity as yesterday, but
the trend was the same.
Against this liquidation of seasoned
bonds must be set the eager absorp-
tion of new issues. The $500, 900
american A.4a Chain per cent debentures
onered today were promptly sold. 1t
was also learned that the new Du-
Quesne Light per cent preferred Of
Tered a week ago has been well
placed.
ington that the Treasury offering of
certificates of Indebtedness has been
Oversubscribed for both maturities.
The amount offered was about $780,
100000. and the unofficial estimate of
the oversubscription is $100,000.000, or
25fper cent.
1t is difficult to reconcile the re-
action in underlying rails with this
evidence of large surplus available
for investment in almost anything
new. 1t was noticeable today that
Public Utility bonds of the first grade
showed a tendency to react. This Is
comparatively new development.
Foreign bonds. particularly French
issues, responded to the intimations
in the dispatches from abroad that
negotiations between Paris and Ber-
lin were In prospect. French IS,
French TVS. City Of Lyons IS. De-
partment of the Seine IS and the
Paris Lyons Mediterranean 6s all
scored advances from a half to more
