TURN DOWN RAIL
LINE EXTENSION IN
AROCSTOCk COUNTY

Washington, March % - (AP) -
The interstate commerce commission
has denied the application of the
Aroostook County railroad to build
an extension 81 miles long in Aroos-
took county, Maine, from Sweden 10
st. Agatha.
1t held that the territory To be
branch did not warrant such new
construction. The applicant had
sought to construct the new line to
develop pulpwood and potato regions.
Bangor. Maine, March 22-(AP)-
the extension of the Aroostook VAL
ley railroad, application for which
was denied today by the interstate
commerce commission, is one of sew
eral projected by the Aroostook VAL
icy Company. of which Arthur r.
Gould of Pressure Isle is president.
The road begins at Pressure Island
and at present extends to New Swe-
zen, by way of Caribou. 1t was de-
sired to continue the line from New
Sweden to st. Agatha, to make ac-
cesslble a large growth of timber
suitable for pulpwood and open a
new potato region. The Bangor and
Aroostook Railroad runs parallel to
the proposed extension.

POTATO PLANTERS
IN maine MAY CUT
ACREAGE THIS Year

Wakefield, Mass, March o.
(AP)-Potato acreage for the Unit
ed States in 1926, is expected to gain
40 percent. over last year, but the
North Atlantic group of states ex-
pect a slight decrease.
This is the prediction made today
by the New England Crop Report
ing service. In the distinctly COM
mercial regions Of Maine and Con-
necttcut growers are seriously con-
sidering cutting their planting be-
low 1925. Maine reports an expected
cut of B percent and Connecticut +.
Both of these states have increas-
ed their use of improved seed great
ly In the past five years with the
resultant increase in average yields
per acre of IS to 33 percent. Keep
ing acreage within bounds appears
sound management, the service says.
New Hampshire expects to 20 per-
cent increase, Vermont IL, Massa-
chusetts three, Rhode Island con-
templates no change. 1t is pointed
out that these plans are subject to
alteration before actual planting oc-
ours. The report says farmers are
giving serious study to the subject
of crop acreages as a means of bet
ter balancing production with de-
mand.

The supreme court agreed today to
review lower court decisions cancel
ling the oil leases and contracts
which Edward L. Doheny negotiated
with Albert B. Fall as secretary of
the Interior.
Involved In the case are the Elk
Hill naval oil reserves in California
and the contract between Doheny's
companies and the government by
which the oil magnate has construct
ed huge oil reserve tanks for the
navy at Hawaiian naval base at
Pearl Harbor.
While agreeing on cancellation. the
district court and the circuit court
In California disagreed on the ques-
ton of compensation for the storage
tanks. The district court allowed
s1O,000.000 but the circuit court over

Besides this question the supreme
court is expected to go into all phas-
es of the case and particularly that
as to the legality of the executive
order issued by President Harding

Tax Income Returns
Will Exceed Mellon
Estimates S2O,OOO.OOO

Washington, Mar. % (AP)-The
treasury announced today that the
income tax returns for March, the
first to be collected under the new
revenue law, probably would exceed
by $20,000,000 the original estimate
! of Secretary Mellon.
Coincident with this announcement
Representative Tilson of Connecticut,
the Republican floor leader, warned,
the house of treasury deficit for
the fiscal year beginning July 1 be-
cause OF too many appropriation
bills.
The tax collections for March,
which included only those for the
. first quarter of the tax year, from
individuals and corporations, totalled
$3.50, 100000 at the close of business
: Saturday, but officials expect them to
, reach S420,000,000, or about $21, 0oc-
i 900 less than was collected for the
same quarter year ago when the
, tax rates were higher.
! Secretary Mellon interpreted the
increase over the estimate as due to
stimulation of business in anticipa-
ton of tax reduction. With the re-
duction In sight several months ago,
he said, business generally had made
investments in a direction which
would prove helpful in revenue COL
lections.
On the face of the March returns,
treasury estimated the total income
tax collections for the fiscal year
, ending June 80, will amount to ST.
791 100000 as compared against ST.
760,000,000 a year ago and $780,
100000 which it had been estimated
would have Leen collected this year
under the old rates. These figures
do not include collections of miscel-
laneous taxes, many of which were
repealed by the new law.
Mr.. Tilson, in urging that the
brakes be applied to appropriations
for the fiscal year 1927, declared con-
gress is in the unhappy position of
man who has a fat check without
any money in the bank. The new
revenue law and appropriations al
ready made, he said, now give an
estimated deficit of nearly $30,000,-
900 next year. The governments
bank account for 1927 he estimated
in this way:
Receipts for 1927 $3,S24,53O 900.
New tax reductions 1919, 100000.
Expenditures $3,494,222, 900.
This would leave a balance of SILL
307 900, he added, against which
congress already has drawn checks
for an overdraft of nearly $4,000
900.
