MIXTURE OF SEcTS
PUZZLE IN INDIA
Buddhists Put Up Problem
in Government.

8 To most people 1t would appear, ac-
cording to a Bombay paper, very nat
ural that the famous temple Of Budh
Gaya. the most sacred spot in all the
world to the Buddhist, should be UNI
der their control.
But 1t is not, and In recent years
the Buddhist community has been car
rying on an agitation which has for
its object the persuading Of the gov
eminent to give them the right to man
age the temple In the interests Of their
faith.
Is there, In India any temple which
has associations with so many faiths
as this beautiful structure In Gaya?
The original building, not the present
one, for this Is of comparatively
modern period, was built over the
place made sacred by the great teach
or Buddha, who here received that en-
nghtenment which was the basis OF
his future teaching. and today Bud
dhists como from all parts of the world
to pay their homage at this shrine.
There is something very impressive IN
the sight Of some piOus Buddhist who
has made q Journey Of thousands Of
miles, along difRcult reads, to rest
his eyes On this sacred spot, every
inch Of which has been honored by the
presence Of the Buddha.
But what is found when one passes
inside the temple of Buddha? Here is
an image, but strange to say, 1t bears
the trident mark, the emblem OF
vishnu, and even more strange, the
rites are performed by a Brahmin.
Gould anything be more incongruous?
The pious Buddhist pilgrim places rev
erently his pieces of gold leaf on the
sacred image of his Lord, but he must
pay in his gift to the Brahmin priest
who ofEiciates. Nor is this all. for it
is found that the Mahant or guardian
Of the Buddhist "Holy of Holes" is
Mohammedan, and he can easily
show his right to the post.
Howl BY reference to a sanad
granted to him by "Christian" gov
eminent. Thus, these four faiths are
associated In this central shrine Of
Buddhism, and it Is not surprising that
Buddhists resent the ownership being
In the hands of others. The British
government viii doubtless give due con.
sideration to the petitions which have
been sent by representative Buddhist
bodies Montreal Family Herald.

Ships o., Scrap Heap

Shipg come and ships so, but on the

Here are some remarkable figures
about the worlds fleet:
i Last year there were lost through
one cause or another 816 merchant
ships, totaling nearly two million tons,
and nearly three quarters Of them
were steamers or motor ships.
TAis does not mean that there were
more wrecks. for there were actually
fewer; but the huge total Of more

LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE ASKS FUR PROPOSALS
 Ov 230 TONS GOAL

The lighthouse service of Alaska is calling for proposals for supplying that department with 230 short tons of bituminous coal as per specifica- tions attached to the public notice. The time of delivery has been set for the early part of August, in Seward, to the lighthouse tender Cedar. The notice was posted in the Seward post office yesterday.
 In part the specifications call for that the coal should be screened lump, suitable for cooking and heating pur- poses. Prices submitted will be for coal delivered on cars at point on the Alaska Railroad nearest the mine and for coal of grade, calorific value and ash content as specified by the bidder in his proposal.
 In determining the award on these proposals the general suitability of the coal for the desired purpose, as ascer- tained from reliable sources, will be taken into consideration, as we'll as the analysis stated in the proposal.

WARNS NAZlMOVA
 AGAINST PERILS OF SCREEN

Nazimova, star of the Edwin Ca rewe production of My Son" for First National pictures playing at the Liberty for the last time tonight, mo- tored to Monterey, Cal, where scenes were taken for this picture.
 At San Luis Obispo, half way point between Hollywood and Monterey, the great Russian actress stopped over- night. In the morning at breakfast the waitress had a motion picture fan magazine in her hand all the time she was serving the star, and kept up a running fire of chatter which did not enhance the joy of Nazimova's break fast.
 "These movie stars," said the wait ress, "have terrible time. Look here," as she displayed the magazine, which had an article on the hard life of motion picture players. Then she talked and talked and talked about how Lloyd Hughes had to swim in icy water, and Jack Pickford was called to go thru fire. Finally she ended her discussion and saying: Gee! Aren't you glad you aren't an actress?"

EQUALIZING ESTATE TAXES

Governmental influence in how states conduct their taxing powers is Illustrated in the recently amend cd federal inheritance tax law. which vas included in the tax re-. duction law. This law renders as much as 70 per cent Of the inheri- tance taxes available for collection by the states, but the new law does not increase the total Of fcderaI and state taxes above the former figure, merely enabling the states to benefit through federal with drawal from this taxing scheme.
 A state, like Florida, which made the non -collcction of inheritance taxes part of its basic law in order to draw wealthy residents from elsewhere, now finds that the scheme won't work, as the federal income tax in Florida will be just as high as the combined federal and state income taxes are in other states.
 This was one Of the neatest tricks in the Mellon bill, and was aimed at Florida and the few other southern states which have fol. lowed her example: and will dis courage further attempts by states to tempt wealth from elsewhere through eliminating inheritance taxes.
 Under the new federal law, nc matter where a rich man dies. the rich mans estate will be subject to the same inheritance taxes; ant IL mcrelX will be a question whether the government gets all Of the tax IS in Florida, or gets only part O. tha tax, as Is the case iu state. having inheritance taxes.
 The Massachusetts legislature be ing in session, quick grapplint with the situation is imminent, th' desire being that the Bay state se all fhe. inheritance, taxrS r. ran ob tain rather than let the govern mont profit, Consequently the in heritance taxes In Massachusett will be increased The same vii be done in other states. probabl also Connecticut,
