Years Ago in Baltic, CT.

Boston, Feb. 24.-(AP)-Clarence i.
Higham arrived here today from San

$3.50 from the United States govern

his offense had almost been forgotten.
Higham is said to have admitted that

S3S7,OOO,0OO TAX
REDUCTION BILL NOW
UP TO Pres. COOLIDGE

Washington, Feb. 24.-(AP)-Con-
gress today ordered the 1887 100000
tax reduction bill sent to President
Coolidge. completing work on it's first
and probably most important piece OF
legislation of the session.
The President is expected to make
the bill effective with his signature
at an early date, although allowed
ten days in which to study it.
Final congressional approval OF the
measure came late today with the
acceptance by the Senate. 81 to 10. of
the compromise reached in confer
ence with the House. BY a similarly
overwhelming vote, the House ratified
the compromise yesterday.
Carrying provisions for relief of
virtually every federal taxpayer, it's
effects will begin to be felt when first
income tax installments fall due
March IS. More than 100000 who
paid income taxes last year will
be relieved of all taxes under the
measure
Both Republican and Democratic
leaders defended the measure In the
four hours of Senate debate today
on the conference agreement and
proposal to recommit it to conference
for further tax reduction was defeat
ed on point of order.
Senator Neeley, Democrat. West
Virginia, made this motion, which
would have instructed the Senate
conferees to insist upon repeal of the
taxes on admissions. dues and auto
mobiles. Leaders on both sides ar
gued this would cause undesired de-
lay, and Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas. the Democratic leader, made
the point that the motion was out
of order since it would not provide
a means of getting the bill back be-
fore the Senate.
Vice President Dawes upheld the
point of order and an appeal from
his ruling by Senator Neeley was
voted down, 60 to s.

Station WRC, beginning Sunday.
Will broadcast every day and night
throughout the week, choosing the

but the local change takes place at
the end Of this week.
The new local schedule will begin
next Sunday, when WRC viii broad

For three years the two stations

Thousands Of dollars are lost an.
nualIy by District insurance com.
panies because local physicians
falsely certify to the illness sof
claimants, II was charged today
by Thomas NJ, Baldwin, Jr., IN his
report on the Insurance Depart.
inent Of the District Commission
ers.
For the small consideration Of
from 81 to So, doctors win make
out false sick or accident claim
blanks, Baldwin declared.
The fault lies In some cases
with the insurance company which
gives their representatives too
much latitude In the payment O&
claims, he said.
Baldwin pointed out that X one
agent can pay claim more prompt.
II than his competitor It means
new business TO him.
Many residents Of Washington are
receiving benefits TAR in excess
Of their total income, Baldwin
charged. because they listened to
the solicitations Of interruptions
agents and as q result take out
more insurance than they can pos.
sibly pay for.
Al total OF 1882, 4S5 was col.
lected In premiums while $5,g44,277
was paid in losses, Baldwin states.
He says that $2S4.053 amounted
to the revenues of the DEPARTMENT
for 1925, as compared to $273,323 for
the preceding year.
The superintendent of insurance
siso went into the question OF com
puIsory automobile insurance.
He said that the solution lies with
the police courts, and not with the
insurance companies and that no
agreement has been arrived at as
to adequate rates.
