STATES CUT
EXPENSES
H. M. Lord, Budget Director,
Returns From Economy
Survey Trip
m INTERNATIONAL NEWS REEL

States throughout the country
are following the example of the
Federal Government in drastically
cutting running expenses, Fl. M.
Lord, budget director, reported to
President Coolidge at the White
House today.
Lord had just returned from a
swing around the country in which
he stressed the need of govern
mental economy.
Looking to Washington for their
cue, many States already are TAX
said. They realize that this will
taxes"
Lord said that Maine and Michi-
gan were particularly active in in
shutting economy reforms.
II have just received a letter
from the governor Of Maine telling
me that his budget has been cut
several thousands of dollars.
"In 1921, the Federal Government
paid go per cent Of the entire cost
of Government At the present
time the Federal Government is
paying but one-third and the States
two-thirds of the total cost. The
future reductions therefore must
be made by the States"
Unless unforeseen expenditures
bob up, Lord assured Coolidge that
the Treasury would show a surplus
of Sos, 100000 at the end of this
fiscal year. In demanding strictest
economy, Coolidge set this figure
as the minimum surplus.
The surplus can be effected de-
spite unexpected added expenditures
Of $33 ,000,000 in the Postoffice De-
partment, caused by increased pos
tai salaries.
For the next fiscal year, Lord
hopes to save 1915 ,O0O, 900.

Teuton Officer, Dressed as
Native Chief, Aids Fight
Against French
By International News Service.

LONDON, May pa German
officer, dressed as native Riff
chief, has directed the construction
of trenches and AbdeI Krim's defen-
sive operations in French Morocco,
according to dispatches today from
Tangier to the Daily Telegraph.
Krim's munitions have been sup
piled by a submarine, which already
has made three trips.
The French emphatically declare
they will not aim to advance their
lines beyond the position occupied
last year north of the Ouergha
river, the dispatches said.
Warlike, fanatic tribes which
never have recognized the rule of
any sultan, hold the sections north
of the river.
Fifteen battalons were en- route to
reinforce the French, bringing the
total of French troops in the
Ouergha territory to $4,000.

EXPANSION

HURT
Mellon Points Out That Other
Nations Have Removed Levy
From Nationals
By KENNETH CLARK.

AS a boon to American bust
ness the world over, the Treasury
and Commerce Departments joined
today in urging enactment of leg
islation exempting Americans liv-
ing abroad from paying domestic
income taxes.
Such revision of the present
tax laws would aid materially in
advancing the frontier lines of
American industry in foreign ma
tions, both Secretaries Mellon and
Hoover declared.
Jones to Sponsor Bill
Returning from a trip to South
America, Senator Jones Rep) of
Washington announced he would
sponsor legislation in the next SEES
sion wiping out double" taxation.
In many countries, Americans
must pay both resident and domes-
tic taxes on the same income.
This question has perplexed the
Treasury for years, because Of the
difficulty of determining the origin
of incomes of Americans abroad.
Mellon favors a change in the law,
believing a workable plan would he
sound and wise economically.
Hoover regards the present law
as detrimental to healthy business
expansion which the Commerce De-
partment is seeking to extend
everywhere.
Holding Up Expansion
''The United States is the only
important nation which imposes
domestic taxation upon the earned
income of its citizens who are resi-
dents abroad and engaged in bust
ness" said Hoover. while pro-
vision is made for deduction Of
forgein taxes, this has effect only
in high taxation countries, and at
fords no adequate relief in those
countries where we need most TO
expand, particularly Latin America
and the Far East.
"AH other high tax countries
have given complete relief In this
respect and thus our nationalists are
placed at a great disadvantage.
1.-The effect of increased taxation
from the war which is applied by
our country alone to earned in
drive our citizens out of the front
line in many foreign nations. Legis-
lation should be enacted to relieve
our nationalists from this burden"
Four Billion Affected
During the past year, the Com
merce department declared that
new loans to foreign countries and
corporations totaled $795,000, 900,
and during the first three months
of 1925, extensions OF credits and
loans totaied $344, 900 900.
At the close of 1924, the United
States and its citizens had $1,000
O00, 900 invested abroad, the Depart
ment estimated. Government guar
anteed obligations amounted to 49,.
s40, 000, 900.
OF the total officials believe that
approximately $4,000, 5000, 900 is in
VoIved in business operations that
under proposed changes in the tax
law would be exempted from TAX
alton by this Government.

1766. After Waterloo 1t was taken by the Allies and turned over to Prussia. The region in which Saar- louis is situated, fifteen miles down the valley, became French before 1881. In that year. Louis XIV founded the city of Saarlouis and had his famous military engineer, Vauban, fortify it. The Notifications were torn down In 1889.
 While France has an early ter ritorial claim to the saar, Germany has a later territorial claim and an overwhelming claim on the basis of present population. It is this popu- lation which is supposed to vote in 1895 to choose whether the present semi-independent regime is to be maintained, or whether the terri tory is to be merged with Germany or with France. If the vote takes place 1t is highly probable that the Saar will return to Germany. In that event it is provided by the peace treaty that Germany shall rebuy the coal mines from France at price to be assessed at the time by experts" *

WANT SWEDISH ORE
Reports state That Bethlehem Steel Corporation Seeks Entire Output Of Largest Iron Mines, VI

Stockholm, April S.-Recent re- ports, .emanating from weli-in- formed rcircles, to the effect that tho Bethlehem Steel corporation was negotiating with the Trafik Ak tiebolaget oxelosund- -Grangesberg, largest of the Swedish iron produc- Ing companies. for the entire out put of it's mines, have caused com ment here. While the negotiations have not progressed to the stage where public announcement can be made, 1t is known that the American concern placed large orders for Swedish ore during the last year, and that the output of the mines will probably be. almost doubled during 1925.
 Swedish exports from the big mine fields of Lapland amounted in January of this year to 645,000 tons compared with 160,ooO tons in Jan uary Of last year. Much of the in- creased export was due to the growing demand for Swedish ore in Germany, but a majority of the shipments went to America.
 It Is estimated that the mines of the Trafik Grangesberg. as the Swedish company is called, could produce maximum of about H. 000,000 tons of ore annually. Sales of this entire output to an Ameri- can company Is, opposed in some quarters pn the ground that Sweden would lose its market on the con- tinent should the deal go through.

CHANGE OVER ARSENAL
Realization That Men Cannot Fight Without Rifles Shanghai Well
 comes Auto Manufactory Project.

Shanghai. April 8. -- Tired of armed conflict, and realizing that men cannot fight without rifles, re- volvers and ammunition, Shanghai has welcomed a project to turn the Kiangnan arsenal into motor car factory. Deprived of this local source of weapons. warning factions may become more peaceful. it is argued.
 The arsenal was built some 50 years ago, near Shanghai, and for half a century it has been the ob- jectiye of much strife and many warlike clashes. -s
 Recent orders' from Picking said the arms making machinery in the arsenal should, be removed from the Shanghai district. possibly to Ranking. and that the buildings be turned over to. the Shanghai Cham Der of Commerce for commercial uses. Thereafter came the proposal that China's first automobile. fac- tory be inaugurated in the old ar senal and Canton capitalists have the matter under favorable consid- eration.

CHANGES ARE MADE
 IN BRITISH GOLF
jIabs Have Begun to Adopt Par
 Instead Of Ancient Bosey

London, April s,--British golf
 tubs have begun to adopt par as
 he standard of their courses. in- stead of the ancient but easier goal snown as bogey. Tn most cases the bogey figures for IS holes are six strokes higher and that much easier to attain. than par.
 So far only q few clubs have adopted the severer standard, long since universal in America. Most of the courses that have broken away rom bogey are In the London dis rrict. To make the change nation wide will perhaps require several years, for the Briton has an in grained aversion to giving up his accustomed ways. whether in busi- ness or pelasure. Until now the general run of British golfers have always played "against bogey' in their medal competitions, and their handicaps are all based on that standard. For the vast majority of players 1t is, and always will be. more fun to think 7S is a perfect card, than to be told that total ot more than 72 or 7s strokes. con- Feses a flaw somewhere in one's play.
 From frst-claSs players, bogey figures have seldom demanded bril- lance. To attain them merely de- nands, in most cases, steady, un- altering play. Even those who can nit golf ball only a moderate dis tanee can do course in bogey If they keep straight line and stay cut of trouble and, of course, have 4 bit q luck. .
 But with par 4s asked for on boles, from 400 to 445 yards in cngth,3 instead of bogey 5's, only nose who can get long and ac- curate carries with driver and. .rassie are likely to experience, with any frequency, the achievement ,f the goal of the game.
 The change from bogey to par which has set in among British golfers is, to great extent, at- trbutable to American influence. Three of the last foru British open championships have been won by Americans, who have trained them selSes to play against the more ex- tcting standards prevailing on the ather side of the Atlantic. ,..t ,
 But, more influential than the &C., omplishments of American profess ionals upon the British golfing hind, have been the reports from cross the Atlantic. describing how |. n amateur, Bobby Jones. has ,chooled himself to play "against 1 par" instead of merely against the $trokes of an opponent. even Iii match play. &s
