THOUSANDS PAY
INCOME TAXES
in FINAL HOURS

Reinforced by additional deputy
collectors and revenue agents, more
than one hundred and fifty gov
ernment Officers were on hand to-
day to handle thousands of income
returns which must be filed by
elevekth hour taxpayers.
Collector or Internal Revenue Rex
b. GOodcell announced yesterday
that in order to accommodate tax
payers who have failed so far to
file, the main revenue office and
all of its branches will be kept open
until midnight tonight. .,.. -,
',Promptly at midnight the gong
will sound Collector Goodcell
said.
Many inquiries have reached the
internal revenue office as to wheth-
er or not the government had any
method of checking up the incomes
of citizens. In reply, to these in
quiries, revenue officia point out
that every employer, firm, partner
ship or corporation is required by
law to report to the revenue bureau
the name of every person to whom
they paid $1,000 or more in 1924 to-
gether with the amount and the ad-
dress of the party to whom the pay
ment was made.
8 These reports are checked against
the income returns filed. If no re-
turn has been filed the negligent
taxpayer under the law is liable to
heavy penalties. This checking up
ais disclOses whether the correct
amount has been reported.
All real estate transfers recorded
during 1924 in Southern California
will be checked to ascertain if pro-
fits derived from real estate sales
has been reported.
Collector Goodcell estimated that
10000 returns Will be filed today.

FEDERAL JUDGE
RULES AGAINST

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Mar 10
The government received IL setback

Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy
ruled that records and statements

Judge Kennedy sustained the de-
fense objection against admission
of the records on the ground this
testimony was "hearsay : AMI had
no connection with tha govern

the Mammoth Oil Company on the
oil reserve.
Defense counsel had fought Wig
orously to block admission of the
records by which thu government
opes to trace $230,500 in Liberty
bonds from Harry F.. Sinclair to the
former secretary of the interior.
After citing numerous decisions
in similar controversies, Judge Ken

time the evidence which is here
rendered is imcomp itent and imma-
terial. -
"No attempt has been made to
traea the bonds in controversy to
Sinclair as their source, without
which connecting link the whole
evidence now rendered would have
to be STRICKEN Judge Kennedy de-
clared.
The court, concluding by stat

the evidence so strongly contcnded

Defendants Elated
The decision came as u surprise
to most of those who have fellow

by some that Judge Kennedy would
admit the evidence on condition the
government could link it up to

Easton customers of the municipal
electric plant have just had handed
to them about nine thousand dollars
per year.
The Utilities this week addressed
Mayor and Council with the sugges-
ton that the electric rates be reduced
from twelve cents per kilowat hour tt
ten cents, and that the price after the
30 K. w. H. be reduced from ten cents
to eight cents.
This was the result of the state
ment for the last year showing the
net profit of the electric plant to have
been $19,O22.29. Accordingly the
Commission wrote the Mayor and
Council and was gratifed at the inn
mediate approval given by that body.
the lower rates to be effective as of
January 1.
The Comm; ssion, in it's letter to the
Council, said:
because of the net profit of the
Electric Department in 1924, it is the
view of this Commission that the
schedule of electric rates should be
revised; and this Commission, there
fore, begs to request your approval of
to existing rates as fol-
lows:
"Ten cents per X. w. H. for the
first 30 X. w. hours and eight cents
per X. w. Fl. for all current consumed
exceeding the first 30 X. w. hours.
"a minimum charge of one dollar a
month will be made for the installa-
ton of each meter for lighting pur-
poses.
A revision in the power rates, re-
sulting in an average 10 per cent re-
duction to power users, is as follows;
Eight cents per K. w. H. for the
first Is K. w. H. consumed, cents
per X. w. H. for the next 225 K. w.
H. for the next 700 X. w. H. consum-
ed; however, that any consumer whose
plant is not operated between 6
o'clock P. M. and II o'clock P. M, and
whose aggregate consumption of cleo
trio current shall equal or exceed eight
thousand K. w. H. per calendar
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1925-01-31

month, shall have for such month or
months as may reach that amount a
fiat rate of two and seven-tenths centc
per K. w. H., and should any consum-
er elect, in writing, to accept these
terms he or they shall oblgate him
self or themselves to give to the Eas-
ton Utilities Commission, in writing,
at least six months notice before dis
continuing the service; and provided
further, that any customer to whom
current is metered at twenty-five hun
drcd volts, and who instaEs all neces-
sary transformers at his own expense,
shall be charged one and eight-tenths
cents per X. w. H. on all current con-
sumed in excess of eight thousand K.
w. H.
The Commission has since deter
mined to recommend to the Council a
reduction in the fuel rate from cents
per K. w. H. to Az cents. 1t is as
sumed, of course, that the Council
will ratify this also.
GAS you doubtless know, this Com
mission is not required to obtain the
approval of the Public Service Com
mission to schedule reducing cleo
trio rates; so if your approval is i'm
mediately given to the above then the
new rates can become effective as of
January 1, 1926"
This big reduction in rates will be
very ratifying to the consumers of
Easton. 1t was unexpected and it
comes with special appreciation when
it is known that the Commission it.
self recommended the reduction. The
plants are in splendid physical condi-
ton and are now at their best as to
service and money earning capacity.

BY the purchase of another motor

the Mayor and City Council at their
last regular meeting Crisfield's fire
department has equipment second to
no city in the State, and should be
well prepared to save the community
from a dangerous fire should such a
fire occur.
The new engine which has been
purchased by Crisfeld, is of the La

motor engine which Crisfeld owns,
except that it is a much larger and
more powerful machine, with a pump
irg capacity of $50 gallons Of water.
The new engine will be delivered a.
bout April 1st.
The ordinance recently passed by
the City Fathers against roller skat-
ing on the streets and sidewalks, was
modified last Wednesday night, at the
instigation of the Crisfeld Rotary
Club, who take special interest in
the children, and do a great deal in
their behalf. While it was realized
that the city officials in passing the
ordinance, had nothing but the well
fare of the children themselves in
mind, it was thought that by permit
ting the children to skate on the less
congested streets and sidewalks,
would serve the same good purpose
and at the same time not to take "a
way from the youngsters, an opportu-
nifty for pleasant exercise and fun.

Get Into the Set.Building Contests.
Part III,

The next important main division
in determining the nt-winning
chara acteristics of receivers entered in
set.building contests is that of design
characteristics. The design Is worth
about 80 points in all.
The thought spent in the design of
a receiver is subdivided into two
parts-namely electrical and mechani-
cal.
The electrical characteristics in
clude such items as the features of
the circuit used; the arrangement of
parts with a view to shortening con-
nections and increasing the efficiency
by eliminating the stray fields due to
excessive wiring and poor location of
parts and other such factors. This
division also includes the care and
knowledge of equipment exercised in
the selection of the parts used in the
receiver.
The mechanical subdivision in
cIudes such factors as arrangement
of parts, location of wiring, selection
of equipment with a view to making
the assembled set look as neat and at
tractive as possible.
l would split the 80 points evenly
between the two subdivisions and al
lot Is points for design from an cleo
trical standpoint and Is points for
design from a mechanical standpoint
Consider Factors.
In making the design both factors
should be taken into consideration
and care should be taken to sacrifice
no efficiency in one department at the
expense of the other.
Originality in the design of the cir
cult, In the switching arrangements
If any are required, in the provisions
made for aerials of different charac-
teristics and in the arrangement of
parts as nearly as possible in a SYM
metrical design, all go a long way
toward making the set as distinctive
and worthy of special attention. It will

BILE points. 40 have been taken by
efficiency or actual results obtained
on test and 80 have been taken for
the electrical and mechanical design
of the set.
The last main division, that of
workmanship, will be allotted the last
80 points. Workmanship includes
such details as the manner in which
the panel has been treated in prepar-
ing 1t for mounting the parts, the
accuracy with Wnlcn the noIeS nave

ance of countersunk holes, the neat

LIMIT TO STATIONS
BIG RADIO QUESTION
200 May Seek Admittance to
BroadcasterS' Ranks at
Fall Conference.

The principal issue to be faced at
the annual radio conference this Fall,
as indicated by Secretary of Commerce
Hoover in opening the Fourth Ma
tional Radio Exposition. in New York,
Saturday night, is whether or not gov
ernmental limitations shall be placed
on the number of broadcasting stations
permitted to operate in the United
States.
Except in a few scattered cases, the
SO broadcasters now on the air will
vote for some form of Limitation. But
there will be opposition from represent
atives of some 200 interests who are
asking admittance to the broadcasting
channels and who. in nearly every in
stance, can make strong arguments
for their requests.
In the conflict of these views around
the conference table much will be said
concerning "the freedom of the ether"
just as in the end, it is now generally
believed. the foundation for a system
of regulations to prevail until such
time as new discoveries render them
unnecessary, will be laid at the radio
conference of this year. At the back
OF the decision will be the listeners-in
of the country, to whom a too-crowded
ether means diminishing interest in
radio br oadca sting.
1T is the listener in the American
homes" according to Secretary Hoov-
er. who Is the foundation and who
furnishes the support for the whole
industry. For if he relaSes or his in
terest fails, the whole radio structure
will fall as quickly as it has grown. -"
A second issue to come before the
conference will be in regard to the
amount Of power to he used by broad
GOO hn nj yn1
problem" Mr.. Hoover said. lin the
amount of power necessary to give
real service to listeners, even against
opposition of static and Summer con-
ditions and without adding still
further congestion and interference"

high with solder and panels which
are poorly grained. all count heavily
against the contestant on the basis
of poor workmanship
While the factors on which points
are counted up have been listed as
separate items. you must remember
that each division is really dependent
on the others. The 40 points avail
able for efficiency depend to a consid-
cradle extent on the design and work
manship of the receiver. 1t is diff
cult to get real efficiency without care
In design and workmanship. 1t is
also true that good design and work
manship cannot help but increase the
efficiency of a receiver.
In tomorrow's article I will out
line a number of hints to prospective
contestants which will aid them in
designing and constructing receivers
which are to be entered in such con-
tests. BY keeping them in mind you
will be step ahead of the fellow who
does not know of the little tricks md
kinks which stamp a receiver as dis
