At $3.50
District Auditor Donovan
Thinks Increase Of 33H
Per Cent Necessary

A new tax rate for the District,
set conservatively yesterday at $1.41
as against a present rate of $1.2O,
was increased to approximately
$l.6O in an unofficial estimate
made today by Daniel ]. Donovan,
District Auditor.
rms increase, made necessary
through the action of Congress
which substituted a lump sum an
preparation of $4,000, 900 for the
district, instead Of proceeding on
the 6O-4O basis as had been Gone
Tor several years past, represents a
Jump or 80 1-3 per cent in the tax
rate to be paid next year by Dis.
trict residents.
Auditor Donovan, in explaining
ms estimate, pointed out that the
figures are pure estimates and not
based on any exact statistics.
1T is impossible at the present
time to estimate closer than this
figure" he said. when we are
able to check up on the taxes &C.
tually paid for the present year, we
can proceed on estimating the new
tax rate on more efficient basis"
Expenditures Increase.
The large increase in the tax
rate Auditor Donovan pointed out,
Is caused by the considerably in
creased expenditures which must
be made by the District in the
coming year and the difference in
the lump sum Of 100000 and
the sum that would have been ac-
corded the District under the 60-4O
arrangement.
Auditor Donovan declared that
under the appropriation bill, as
1lnally drafted last night, the Dis
tr1ct budget carries expenses of
$26, 455,1O5, which, less the water
department items and the gas tax,
Will amount to 1874, 333,245. The
deficiency items and the estimated
deficiency for 1925 will increase
this figure to $27,655,28 to which
must be added cash fund of $780,
600, making a grand total Of $685.
255.29S.
or this amount the District will
receive 100000 from Congress,
leaving $19,255,293 to be raised in
the District.
$14,255, 1893 To Be Raised.
Estimated revenues from intangi-
Bile personal property, taxes on pub
lie utilities and miscellaneous COL
lections will reduce this sum by
$5,000,000 leaving $14,255, 1893 to be
raised through taxes on real estate
and personal property.
Mr.. Donovan estimates the valua-
ton of real estate and personal
property for next year at approx
mately 1882, 100000 from which to
obtain the $4,000, OO0, 900 needed for
District expenses.
This then would mean a tax rate
of approximately $3.50 or an in.
crease of 80 Ia per cent over the
present rate of Sl.2O.

PRESIDENT
vETOES
BILL
Postal Pay Increase Goes
Back to Congress-May
Be OveFridden

President Coolidge today vetoed
the postal pay bill, providing i'm
creases in the salaries Of all pos
tai employees.
The President has written a
lengthy message to Congress ex-
planning the. veto. This viii be
sent to the Capitol during the aft
Ornoon.
The fact that the legislation
would have added $75,OOO,0OO a
year to the expenses of the Post
Office Department caused Mr..
Coolidge to refuse to approve it.
Veto May Be Over-ridden.
There was no provision in the
bill for raising this money, although
it carried authorization for pay in.
creases Of $500 a year for postoffice
and railway mail clerks, carriers,
supervisors, inspectors and assist
ant postmasters.
The President could have let the
bill die by simply keeping it at the
White House until Congress adj.
JOurned tonight, thus exercising a
pocket Veto" but by vetoing it this
morning he gives Congress oppor-
tunity to pass it over the veto this
afternoon. 1t is expected that an
effort in this direction will be
made.
Opens Up Election Funds.
The bill carried as rider an
amendment to the corrupt elections
act, which limited the amount of
money which candidates for the
Senate or House could spend in
their campaign.
The President announced he
would have approved that part of
the bill relating TO publicity for
campaign, contributions if it had
stood alone.
This provision was included in
the veto, as there is no authority
for President to veto one part Of
a bill and let the rest of it stand.
The Senate originally placed the
provision in the bill for publicity
for campaign contributions by
adopting the plan of Senator Borah
Rep) of Idaho. The House, how.
ever, rejected the Borah plan and
adopted one proposed by Congress-
man. Cable (Rep) of Ohio. The
Cable plan was not as rigid as
that of Borah, but it would have
made the law governing campaign
contributions much stricter than it
10 at present.
His Third Veto.
This is the third bill President
Coolidge has vetoed in his drive
for economy in Federal expendi-
lures. The first was the Bursum
pension bill and the second was
the soldiers bonus bill.
Congress sustained the Bursum
veto, but refused to stand with
the President on the bonus.
The Presidents veto message was
sent to the Senate, which received
it at IL o'clock noon.

DRIVEN
AWAY
Lured into Car as Ne Quit
School Only Few Yards
From Home

The mysterious disappearanceof
eleven-year-old Carlton Howard
Smith, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Smith, Of Clinton, Md, fifteen
niles from Washington, early.
Thursday afternoon, has struck
fear into the hearts Of the
parents of the surrounding neigh
torhood.
The Smith boy was leaving the
Clinton School, not 200 yards away
from his home, with seven-year-
old Edmond Smith, son Of M. D..
Smith, justice of the peace Of
Clinton, when they were acc0sted
by a man in a large green tour +,
ing car and invited to take s-rlde.
The younger boy refused, but the
cider one got into the rear seat,
and the man Immediately drove
off toward Washington.
Official Action Lays.
The law officers in this section are
marking time and have not, as far
as. could be learned today, begun an
earnest investigation into the dis.
appearance of the boy. Residents
Of this section say that nothing was
known Of the boys disappearance
until last evening. The Justice Of
the peace declared he had not
learned Of 1t until last night, when
he, reported it to States Attorney
Bowie.
Justice Smith, whose little son, q
first-grade pupil at The Clinton
School, was with the other Smith
boy at the time of the kidnapping,
was highly excited at the thought
Of what might have happened to
his own boy or to any Of the other
children. He said that Clinton was
badly in need Of police protection.
The officer they did have was killed
several weeks ago in a bootleg
chase. The main highway, Mr..
Smith termed highly dangerous
one. with heavy automobile traffic
and danger lurking every moment
for the children who come miles
to school.
Describes KIDNAPPING.
Edmond Smith, a bright little feI.
low. questioned in the presence Of
his father, told in his own childish
way the story Of the disappearance
Of his schoolmate. According to his
version, the two boys were not fifty
feet from the schoolhouse when a
large green car, bearing a Maryland
license, "the same color as dad6y's,"
stopped by the roadside.
The driver, a young man below
medium height, who wore a black
suit and no hat, asked Carlton
Smith to take a ride. Edmond says
he did not hear what passed be.
tween them, but he saw his com.
panion climb into the rear seat Of
the car.
Being requested to get In also,
Edmond says, he refused. At this
point his father interjected by say.
ing that he has time and time again
cautioned his children never to
listen to the invitations Of strangers.
The little fellow was positive about
the color of the car.
