 ID STAY SINGLE
And His W0uld-Be Bride Also Is
 Satisfied, She Assures

Los Angeles, Jan. 6 R-The mar riage whirl which swept Michael Cudahy. 19. scion of the wealthy packing family, and Marie Astaire 19. film actress, through three coun- ties in a vain attempt to obtain a marriage license, subsided today with the young millionaire high and dry in the home of his mother while his intended bride consoled herself at her hotel in Hollywood.
 Young Cudahy was returned to the care of his mother, Mrs. J. P Cudahy, widow of Jack Cudahy yesterday, following a night spent in the Santa Barbara jail after she had taken drastic steps to prevent his marriage to the actress.
 What happened behind the closed doors of the Cudahy mansion when the would-be benedict returned is not known.
 "I'll take care of Michael" Mrs Cudahy informed officers as she re- lieved them of their charge, adding that she was going to put him to bed. Later she announced that she and the boy had decided to be pals from now on."
 No. mother didn't scold me- Michael explained several hours later. "She just pointed out where l was wrong. I've been fool. If I hadn't been drunk I wouldn't have asked Marie to marry me. She's a good kid, but I'm not the marrying kind, not when I'm sober anyway"
 Cudahy previously said he start ed on the marriage venture after e New Years celebration.
 "The jokes on me" Miss Astaire told reporters. "and Mike once told me never to lose my sense of humor like Mike and l think we would have gotten along fine as man and wife. But he seems to have changed his mind, now that he's back at the end of the apron strings again. Sc it's freedom for both of us. I've given up the idea of washing his dishes, and I think he likes his mothers cooking best"

taxation, it was learned today.
When the appropriation for tax
refunds was proposed in the last
Congress, Senator Mcclellan of Ten
nessee led an attack against 1t on
the ground that it was leap in
the dark.
He asserted that ne had been I'M
able to obtain more than casual in
formation about the refunds. and
secured Senate adoption of law re-
quiring an audit by the comptroller
general of all refunds over $4,000
before payment.
Such an arrangement was re-
jected by the House, and as COM
promise it was provided that the
joint committee on taxation should
check over refunds above $50, 900

SUIT TO FIGHT
REFUND OF TAX
|. TO Be FILED
Move viii Be Taken by AS
ISOLATION Within Few
Ses. Days.

Suit seeking to have refund of
horizontal tax payments of 1919,
1920 and 1921, held illegal by the
Supreme Court, halted, will be filed
within a few days by the Indiana
Taxpayers Association.
The complaint will be based on
the fact that the property was not
regularly assessed. 1t will be point
ed out that many taxpayers who
do not have refunds coming to them
will be forced to pay taxes for the
rebate.
At the same time, the association
is preparing to make thorough
check Of the county and city bud
gets, already completed, and the
State and school budgets when fin
ished Harry Miesse, association
secretary, said the various budgets
have not been obtained by the asso-
citation.
"This organization is interested in
the various budgets, but no action
will be taken until they are thor
oughly checked" Miesse said.
"Every item will be considered down
to lead pencil appropriations. We
will not attack the tentative appro-
priations until we have something
to recommend"
City and county officials believe
the refund will not be stopped by
court litigation. They are continu-.
ing with preparations and plans for
the rebate. If the refund is avoided,
about $1.14 will be stricken from the
taxes to be paid by taxpayers on
each 500 worth of property.
The taxpayers association will
ask the city council finance commit
tee to hold up action on the city
budget until it can be investigated.

TREASURY SHOWS
ENORMOUS SURPLUS
Debt Also Reduced More Than
Billion

| Washington, July 1 R-The fis-
cal year 1926-27 ended yesterday.
showing a treasury budget surplus
of about s630,00o,OOO and an indi-
Gated reduction in the public debt
of more than 81 1000, 100000.
The latest figures available last
night were for June %, and the ex-
act surplus as of that date was
s636,217.957 and the debt reduction
then accomplished $1,o65,754,223.
The final tabulation will be ready
today.
The surplus, which is now esti-
mated at about s630,00O, 900, estab-
fishes a new record. The former rec
ord was s505,366,9S6, in the fiscal
year 1924.
Debt reduction has passed the bill
lion dollar mark on three previous
occasions. It amounted to s1,1S5.-
1868 In 1920; s1,O14,06S,S44 in
1922, and s1,09s,s94,376 IN 1924.
The reduction in 1920 was accom-
plished largely by the use Of large
balance which had been held in the
| treasury general fund whereas other
| reductions have been principally
from items set aside by law for
debt reduction and the budget sur
plus.
The treasury position is that the
record budget surplus for the cur
rent year cannot be taken as indi
eating a similar accomplishment In
the fiscal year 1928, as there were
several sources Of revenue in 1927
which are not recurent, and the
failure of the second deficiency bill
in the last congress made 1t neces-
sary to delay until next year heavy
payment OF tax refunds and other
expenditures which would other
wise have been made In the current
fiscal year.
Customs receipts for the current
fiscal year exceeded $500, 100000,
about s3O,o0o,00O greater than in
1926. Income tax payments of
about s2,225, 100000 are more than
$500, 100000 in excess OF 1926.
Miscellaneous taxes at about $780,
100000 are about s210, 100000 un-
der 1926 collections.
