Three Cuts Would Eat Surplus.

According to Senator Smoot, when
he was visiting the President. II the
corporation tax is reduced from it's
present maximum Of 1914 per cent to
IL per cent the cut would amount
to about $3.50, 100000.
1t was pointed out that II that cut
is actually made. there would be only
$64 100000 remaining Of the $214.00O.-
900 surplus for 1929.
II the proposal to cut to half the
tax on passenger automobiles should
be carried out also. that would take
$50 200, 900 more from off the surplus,
which would leave only $14,000,0 900.
Moreover, if the nuisance taxes are to
be eliminated, as Is proposed. there
would be another cut of $37 ,000.0 900,
which would make a deficit without
taking into account any Of the ex-
traordinary appropriations Congress
might see fit to make regardless Of the
budget.

Mrs. Coolidge was all smiles at the
demonstration. AS her boy reached
her she threw her arms about him
and gave him several kisses. Many
surged about the car. Some one said
to John. You received almost as big

in police circles TO be the present

The appointment will necessitate
other promotions Besides the va

are to be assigned to duty IN the de

G. Pratt and it is generally believed
that most, if not all. will be taken
from the precinct detectives, 1t ls
known, however. that all asplrhntS for
these positions are not now filling pre-
cinct detective berths,
Fifteen men are to be given motor
cycle mounts and Maj. HesSe Is seek
ing that number of men suited to
motor cycling. 1t is his desire ana
that of Commissioner Dougherty to
have the motor cycle command made
up of the best available men ana
cautious riders.
Addition of Is men will give the de-
parfment's motor cycle squad total
of 90 men. This increase will enable

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
BALTIMORE, May 21.-Maryland
the leading Eastern cantaloupe pro-
ducing State, has increased it's
acreage planting steadily the past
three years and probably will have
about $500 acres in the 1927 season.
according to John ). Dennee. Federal
statistician for the State.
Maryland's shipping season runs
from about July 10 to September 80
In 1926 Maryland had 6.120 acres and
shipped 1885 carloads; in 1925, 1,116
cars; in 1924. 500 cars: in 1928.
1.270 cars.
The principal complaint concerning
Maryland stock is rather of a COM
plete lack of grading than of incom-
plete grading, especially as to matur-
ity. Mr.. Dennee said. Stock also
shows a lack of standardization of
the size of the packages. shippers
often seem to make the crate fit the
size OF the melon instead of grading
the melons to fit standard sized
crates.
