the end of the year he not only would cut down his expenses of operation, but he would look to increased reve- nues by better business methods. The government and congress can't ap- prove economic conditions except by emitting to disturb business and avoid ing the imposition of uncertainties in one form or another. It can fail to spend large sums and it can even inquire closely into the estimates of expenditures made by the executive departments. Presumably the bud get director has done all the pruning possible but Congress has been known to slash appropriations which emanate from executive departments ever since the budget system came into opera tion.

The treasury estimated the last time that there would be a surplus of about $38O, ,O00,00O, but it actually came to $505, 100000 which goes to show that forecast cannot be exact and that a favorable business situation and rigid economy can change prediction ma terially.
 Assuming that on the basis of the figures already published there is an indicated surplus of about $7O,000,000 this would not be enough to warrant a recommendation for revision of taxes. But the experience of the past has taught that the treasury es- inmates cannot be exceeded. For this reason some people have gone so far as to say there will be $35O, 100000 surplus notwithstanding the cut that has been made by the new tax law in the expected receipts.
 Power With Congress
 Congress to some extent has it in it's power to bring about surplus of $35O, 100000. Economy in expenditure will do the trick. If businessman wanted to bring about a surplus at

PONZI IN LOOKUP; WIZARD
 MAY BE DEPORTED SOON
CROOK WHO GATHERED SEVER AL MILLIONS IN GET-RICH-
 QUICK SCHEME IN TROUBLE

BOSTON, Dec. 15.-Charles Ponzi promoter of the "get-rich-quick" sys- tenn of four years ago, which attract ed investments of many millions, was arrested early today by immigration authorities on warrant charging that he is in the country illegally. De- portation proceedings will begin inn mediately it was said by Immigration Commissioner John P. Johnson.
 Whether deportation will be to Can ada or Italy, in the event that charges against Ponzi are sustained can be de- cided only by the secretary of labor. Ponzi came to this country from Can- ada, after being convicted of banking irregularities at Montreal, but if Can ada objcts to having him deported to the dominion, officials of this country may order him sent to Italy, of which he is still considered a citizen.
 The warrant against Ponzi obtain ed after several days of investigation into his activities in the past twenty years, charges only that he is in the country in violation of the law. Evi- dence includes record of Ponzi's con- viction for smuggling aliens into this country from Canada. It is under stood that Ponzi filed his intentions of becoming United States citizen in March, 1918.

ANOTHER REDUCTION IN
 INCOME TAXES DEPENDS
 ON WHAT CONGRESS SAVES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Retun- ing members of congress are showing a significant curiosity about the chanc- es of another revision of taxes.
 And they will find that the answer to their queries cannot be given them by the president or the secretary of the treasury. For tax revision de- bends on two unknown factors. One is the business condition of the coun- try-a better economic situation mean ing increasing revenues-and the other is the spending proclivity of con gress itself.

PLEA FOR q. S. SHIPS.
Bankers Told of Stabilized Prop.
erty Deserving Attention.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, May 2.-American ships have be-
come a stabilized property that banks
can afford to look upon with friend
ly eyes," Vice Chairman Plunirner of
the Shipping Board declared in Sn ad-
dress here last night before the In
vestment Bankers Association.
Declaring the day of "fiy-by might"
shipping companies has passed, Mr..
Plummer asserted it was prudent
now for investors to deal in Ameri-
can ships and in the securities of
most established American shipping
companies" Only recently, he said,
there had been two instances where
banks had refused to loan more than
81 a ton on ships that would sell in
the market today for at least $40 a
ton.
This attitude" Mr.. Plummer de-
clare6, tends to centralize shipping
in a few hands. That means damage
ultimate interference with the amount
of our ocean-borne commerce"
Warning against further curtail-
ment of tonnage in the foregn export
trade. the vice chairman declared the
recent withdrawal, on account of re-
duced appropriations, of government
ships from the Montreal grain trade
already had resulted in increased
rates on grain from the Canadian
port, through which passes much of
the domestic grain crop.
THE fact that today the rate on
grain out of Boston, where Shipping
Board vessels are operating, is II
cents per quarter less than the rate
charged on grain out of Montreal"
said Mr. Plummer, shows the effect
of competition by American ships.
Therefore. it is not from any fear
that the Shipping Board may find 1t
necessary to enter this grain trade
out of the ST. Lawrence that / draw
attention to the present situation-I
prefer competition through an Amer
lean port"

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Today's bond
market, while still fairly firm, was a
good deal more irregular than on the
previous day.
The advance that followed on the
reduction Of the rediscount rate of
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
ran into good deal of profit-taking
today. For the most part 1t was wen
absorbed, but in some cases there
were minor recessions. Liberties were
generally a little lower than previous
closing prices. On the other hand
strength persisted in the high-grade
rails and industrials.
A good test Of the market was af-
forded in the dissolution of the syn
dicate which brought out the Western
Electric debenture SIS. The offering
price was 96A and the loss today
was less than half point, This
was considered a very good showing
and as establishing that oonds nave
been unusually well placed. Z
More attention was paid today TO
the foreign list. Bolivia IS had a
sudden run up of more than IA
points. This issue has been neglected
for months. The lowap price this year
was maze IN Jdilud4 y o. o0'. oS.N
today between 81 and 80. Today's
unusual strength may have had
something to do with an expected
new Bolivian dollar loan. Obviously
1t would be difficult to sell new bonds
at any reasonable price while the old
issue was quoted on as per cent
basis. ,t
While the Bolivian bonds were show

ST. LOUIS, May (SpeciaD.-Pro-

conditions show little sign of change,

Manufacturers are buying materials

other commodities are tending down

material fresh gains in price during
