MEN AND MONEY
By VI. S. RukeySer.
tCopyriEht. 1871

with the revival OF railroad pros.
perity, the carriers are paying out
more in governmental taxes than in
dividends
Accordingly, railroad executives are
eager to induce local and State gov
ernments to follow the example of
the Federal Government and cut down
expenditures.
Fairfax Harrison, president Of the
Southern, who since the war trans
formed his company from weak to
a strong railway, rarely talks for ef-
feet. Accordingly, discerning OBJ
servers attach especial significance to
his pronouncements. Mr.. Harrison,
Southern attorney, whose father had
been secretary to Jefferson Davis,
took charge Of the destiny of the
Southern shortly before the European
war broke out. He visualized the
later industrial renaissance in the
South, and promptly took steps to
get his railroad ready To meet the
new conditions, He did his financ-
ing early, and when the war depres-
sion came he spent literally on behalf
Of his corporation, helping to alleviate
acute depression in the South.
Disturbing Symptom.
Using the specific facts concerning
his own company as typical Of the
tax trend, Mr.. Harrison said:
THE tax bill for 1926 was $40, 0,351 >
100, an increase of 1909, ,535, or 963
per cent, over 1925. Being thus near
ly the equivalent of the aggregate
disbursement for dividends this is a
disturbing symptom. Federal and
State income taxes account for S3,-
S94035 Of the total and for $745 ,468
of the increase. while State and local
property assessments accounted for
IS ,457 ,065 Of the total and for $164,-
OCT Of the increase. The tax collec-
tors took 81 cents out Of each dollar
Of gross revenue in 1926. compared
with G.3 cents in 1925, with "a cents
In 1924, with 4.6 cents in 1928, with
45 cents in 1922 and with 3.6 cents
in 1921.
THE steady tendency OF increase
OF this fixed charge, over which man.
agement has no control, may fairly be
said to be an element Of danger in
the financial outlook OF the State gov.
ernments as well as Of this company.
During the past few years of compare
tive prosperity the company's revenues
have been able to bear the burden and
the government budget maker has
been alert to take advantage Of his
opportunity; but the public has now
begun to realize that what is taken
from railroad for taxes in such years
above a fair contribution TO the sup
port OF economical government Is
taken. not from the stakeholder. but
from the fund which would otherwise
be available for. and in the case Of
the Southern would be invested in. ad.
ditions and betterments to railroad
property, of which the public would be
the greatest beneficiary in greater
safety and facility in the movement
of commerce,

SCHOOL COSTS
ROW CROWS

Another contest over budget est.
mates for the District public school
system is expected in Congress az
a result of the $19.156.1sO total
submitted by the Budget Bureau
yesterday.
The fight will probably center
around the high cost of school
buildings. and the proposal to em-
ploy IS new teachers.
The latter item was bitterly
fought and defeated in the last
session. 1t is to have no easier
shedding in this Congress.
The opening contest over cost of
local school construction already
has been started by Chairman Mar.
tin B. Madden, of the House APP
preparations Committee.
Madden intimated at the de-
ficiency bill hearings that local
contractors are boosting costs by
collusion in their bids.
The remainder of the District
budget is not expected to meet very
severe opposition. 1t Is very little
higher than the appropriations for
the current year, and includes few
controversial items.

TRAFFIC COURT
S. FREES JUDGE

Charges of obstructing traffic and
disorderly conduct brought by Police
man G. D. Mcdonald, of the Traffic
Bureau. against Myron Cohen. Com.
missioner of the United States
Court of Claims, were dismissed by
Judge Isaac r. Hit in Traffic
Court yesterday.
The disorderly charge grew out
Of an alteration with Policeman
Mcdonald after, according to Cohen,
the former hurled an epithet at
him for the alleged violation Of
traffic rules at Fourteenth and III
Streets, n. w.
Commissioner Cohen, who sits
told the court how the policeman
dragged him from his car after
he returned to get McDonald's
name for the purpose Of reporting
him. He said he was dragged to a
police box and taken to court in
a patrol wagon.
The policeman testified that he
dragged Cohen from the car onlv
after the latter refused to leave
it to go to the station. The diff
Guilty arose when the defendant
stopped between the loading plat
form and the curb to allow a
woman passenger to alight.
Cohen said he did not stop long
enough to obstruct traffic. The
court ruled the element OF doubt
existing warranted dismissal.

 STATE PROBLEMS
1rumbull Says River Trouble
 UndereStimated

Hartford, Dec. . P-Four major problems confronting the state of Connecticut were outlined by Gov ernor John II. Trumbull in an ad- dress at the luncheon of the Civitan club this afternoon. These problems are the protection of Connecticut s interests from the diversion of the Connecticut river by the state Of Massa chusetts: the fuel situation; the recodification of the laws of the statc. and the attempt to increase the efficiency of the various state departments by the establishment of the state board of finance and con- trol.
 Governor Trumbull declared that the people of Connecticut fail to realize the seriousness of the S61.- 0OO,0o propect of the metropolitan district waters supply commission which would divert the waters of the Ware and Swift rivers in Mass, both of them tributaries or the Chicopee river which flows into the Connecti- cut. This diversion, the governor reported. would take 1872 per cent Of the latter stream.
