Should Give Over Tax En-
tireIy to States.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
State governors brought their case
for repeal of the Federal inheritance
tax before the House ways and
means committee today at it's hear
ings on tax reduction and reform.
Half a dozen State executives came
to the Capital to present personally to
the committee their views in sup
port of Secretary MELONS suggestion
that the Federal levy be repealed and
estate taxes be left entirely as a
source of revenue for State govern
ments. In addition, State officials
representing the governors of IL other
States were on hand to present their
support of the movement for repeal
of the Federal levy, which last year
was increased.
Gov. Walker of Georgia, one of
the half dozen State executives al
lotted time for hearing today, and
who initiated the canvass of senti-
ment among them on the question,
stated that in addition to the II gov
ernors here or represented ne had re-
ceived indication of support in the
movement from Is others.
otHeES .huOtteu
Others allotted time by the commit
tee today included Cows. Whitfield Of
Mississippi, Trinkle of Virginia, Nc
Lean of North Carolina and Mcleod
of South Carolina, with Gov. Peay of
Tennessee also ready to appear. The
committee also had listed for appear
ance today Lieut.. Gov. Nolan of Min
nesota and representatives of the New
rat ,tr,ic of
Mexico State, and the national COM
mittee on inheritance taxation.
The present Federal State tax al
lows an exemption of $4,000. UpoE
the amount of net estate in excess of
$4,000 and not exceeding 100000 a
levy of ] per cent is imposed, the rate
then graduating up to a ma Ximum of
40 per cent, applying on the amount
of an estate in excess of 800 900
The law also permits credit up to
25 per cent of the tota! amount of any
levy paid on an estate to State
government.
FavOrs Full Credit.
Chairman Green has indicated he
favors amendment of the law to per-
NIT full credit to estate taxpayers if
the State government levies rate
equal to the Federal tax Such an
amendment also Is favored by Repre-
sentative Garner of Texas, ranking
Democrat on the committee.
Opening the arguments for the
State representatives. Gov. Walker
presented to the committee the reso-
luton approved formally by 80 State
governors asking repeal of the estate
tax. He said other governors also
had indorsed it, but named the execu-
tives of Iowa, Wisconsin. California
and Oregon as being opposed to repeal
of the tax.
We believe this tax could not and
would not have passed. he said, ''ex-
cept for the emergency created by the
war. We believe this levy should be
left for use by the States alone.
I'VE are not experts in taxation
and we leave to the wisdom of the
committee decision as to how quick

Device Measuring 280-Billionth
Of Ounce to Test Einstein Theory

Under the theory one and a third
seconds would be required for the
moons pull to travel 100000 miles to
the earth. If the theory is correct
shadows on the machine are expected
to show that the moon exerts its
greatest pull one and third seconds
after it passes it's zenith over any
given spot on the earth's surface. If
the Einstein theory is wrong the ma
chine is expected to show the greatest
pull at the exact instant of the moon
reaching the zenith.
Gold-surfaced mirrors are held to-
gether by gossamer-like filiaments of

NEW YORK, October 23-Science
now has perfected g. device that can
weigh the pull of ths-moon on minute
objects on the earth.
An instrument made by Ralph c.
Hartsough of Columbia University
detects how much lighter an object
weighing one 29-thousandth of an
ounce on the ground becomes when it
is lifted a foot.
This difference in weight is due to
the attraction the moon has for OBJ
jects on the earth, as demonstrated
in the tides.
The instrument will be used to
weigh molecules and test the Einstein
theory.
The Einstein theory holds that light
rays have weight and are curved by
gravitation; that gravitational attrac-
tion has the same speed as light.

CHINCOTEACUE ANNUAL
RODEO WELL ATTENDED
Nearly $4,000 Witness Pony Pen.
ning.-Animals Bring Good
Prices.-Other Features

Nearly 10000 people went to Chin
colleague Thursday of last week to
watch the annual "rodeo" of wild little
ponies and to view the pony racing
tub races and creased pig contests
Pony penning is the great day fol
Chincoteague.
The first one sold went for $780,
He was a beautiful Chincoteague-
pony color.
At noon the estimate of the num-
her of visitors was 10000. Early in
the evening the crowd had reached
$4,000 and they were still coming in
This is the greatest number of peo-
pie ever on the island.
Most of the visitors offer an "alibi'
that they brought their children to see
the ponies. The "alibi" is here in
thousands. The streets We're almost
impossible. Nothing could be more
like an Irish fete day than Chinco-
league.
The pony penning seems but an in
cident, the real show walking the
streets.
Chincoteague in the afternoon had
its first boat races. A dozen work
boats raced before $4,000 people and
then eight speedboats from Maryland
and Virginia contested. Winners will
be announced later. Miss Crisfield
was the Maryland entrant. This boat
was hauled across the country We'd
nesday night upon truck.
The craft was favorite and finish
ed close to the lead. Enough money
was assured at the fireman's carnival
held in conjunction with the pony
penning to give the island adequate
fire protection.
1t was announced that before next
years event it is hoped to have the
Assateague Bay bridge ready and give
to visitors of 1926 an opportunity fol
ocean bathing farther out into the
ocean than any other resort. Busi-
ness men feel that this will insure the
future of Chincoteague.

LOCAL NATIONAL GUARD
unit NOW AT CAMP
Headquarters Company Go To Camp
Trinkle, Virginia Beach, For
Two Weeks Instruction.

The local military company, Capt.
Godfrey Child, commanding, is now
getting military experience in Camp
Trinkle, Virginia Beach. They will
be there for two weeks for instruction,
one week having already expired.
From the Eastern Shore, beside the
local unit, other towns sent detach-
ments: Company E from Elkton; X
from Centerville; C from Cambridge;
] from Salisbury; l. from Crisfeld;
and the Sanitary Detachment from
Chestertown. No doubt these units
will be glad to look upon the boys who
topped the list in the point of eff
cheney and showed the rest of the 1st
Infantry units how to be soldiers.
There will be other regiments in
the camp: the 5th, made up Of Balti-
more men is there; the 5Sth Brigade
Headquarters; and the Headquarters
Company. Capt. Child writes to the
Democrat that the boys are all getting
along fine, and from the amount of
grub they are slowing away daily
the sea air is agreeing with them. He
wants the Democrat sent to the boys
and says they await the arrival with
interest.
These encampments are wonder
full educational opportunity; not only
to learn military tactics, but to broad
en- along many lines. The boys car
not fail to come out better all around
men, if they have the disposition to
profit by their advantages. Many
things can be gained by the mere So
cial contact; and different environ
ment often gives one a diffrent and
more intelligent view of life. These
are two weeks full of opportunity if
those at Camp Trinkle have the dis
position to grasp them. 1t is to be
hoped they will.

BeUons Brothers Bribe
Case Said To Be "Fake"

The Baltimore press have lately
published the findings of detectives
who had been detailed to work on the
recent reports of attempted escapes
from the Maryland Penitentiary.
These included Jack Hart and the
Bevans boys, Andrew and Luther.
With regard to the latter, Warden
Brady is alleged to have stated, 81
can't say thing against the Bevans
brothers" Further, Mr.. Brady, Mr..
O'Donnelli a detective, and the We'll
fare Board are reported as saying that
they were positive none of the rela-
tives of the Bevans brothers, nor any
one else had attempted to bribe the
guards.
Capt. Charles H. Burns, chief of
the Detective Bureau said he was sat-
isfied the story was a "fake." The
detectives refer to the whole matter
as "pipe dream" These reports
may have the effect of shortening the
term of the Bevans brothers, as the
charge of bad behavior can not be laid
at their door.

Bryan Laid To Rest
In Arlington Cen1eter,

AS was his wish, beautiful Airing

of many who served their country, has
become the guardian of the mortal re-

ing can be added to the complete ac-

countless tributes, characterizations
and like utterances by people in every
walk of life as reflected in the col
umns of nearly every publication in

William Jennings Bryan was a
member Of Lincoln Lodge No. 19, Lin

regardless of success or failure were
permeated by one great virtue,

this quality, he honored both himself
and the Masonic fraternity.
