to investigate. Every other municipal
and national facility for running down
the perpetrators was set in motion.
It was due to the slowness Of the
royal procession that the King escaped
being in the midst of the disaster. The
bomb was placed at the base OF one
of the electric light posts lining Piazza
Giulio Cesare and exploded about the
time the King was scheduled to pass.
The base of the lamp post was 3
feet high and contained little wicket
gate which could be opened easily with
an old-fashioned watch key. 1t was
thought the malefactors disguised
themselves as electricians and opened
this wicket as though making repairs.
Not Aimed at King.
In some official quarters in Milan the
opinion was expressed that the attempt
was not aimed at the King himself. but
that terroristS took the occasion OF his
presence at an immense gathering to
commit q crime similar to that which
on March %, 1921, occurred in the
Diana Theater in Milan. when bomb
killed II persons and wounded 70.
This theory was strengthened when
survey OF the piazza showed tn2t
none of the splinters from the bomb or
the lamp post fell ct the nearest spot
where the monarch would nave been
had the procession been moving on
schedule. It was pointed out that the
route the King was 70 travel was pub
liShed In advance.
Having learned of the catastrophe,
the King proceeded with the inaugura-
ton of the fair. for which he had come
TO Milan. and then fastened to the
hospital where the wounded were.

Exception also was taken TO official
estimates OF receipts and expenditures
for the last five years, McWhirter de-
claring that receipts invariably were
underestimated and expenses overesti-
mated
Pointing out that official estimates
had placed corporation tax collections
for the fiscal year 1927 at 81 .120. 900, 900
and that the same figure had been CAL
culated for this and the next fiscal
years, McWhirter said 1t has now be-
come evident that the tax liability
shown by corporations upon their 1927
returns will mot vary substantially"
from that of 1926. when the taxes due
were at least $i.242. 900, 900.
In other words" he added. regard
less of the nature of the income tax and
the undoubted growth In the volume OF
business, a fixed estimate is used for
the receipts from the source yielding a
good third OF the total revenue receipts
of the Government. It would seem
reasonable to assume that granted that
business conditions in 1928 calendar
year remain In general at a parity with
those of 1927, receipts In the 1929 fiscal
year from current corporation tax at a
rate of 1872 per cent would exceed the
official estimate OF sl.l2o.0oo, 900 by at
least SlO0. .O00,0 ,000."
Pointing to the S33l .o00. 900 in back
taxes collected in 1927. McWhirter
called attention to the estimate OF
$500 100000 in this category for the
fiscal year 1929, and said this did not
seem reasonable TO the chamber.
The official statements" he said,
would seem to mean that in the $780,
0O0. 900 now estimated as receipts from
back taxes in 1929 fiscal year there
are 500, 100000 OF these delinquent
current taxes"
Table Is Presented.
A table was presented to show that
actual Surpluses have exceeded esti-
mates made only six months before the
close of each fiscal year in amounts
ranging from slO0.O00.0 900 to nearly
5000 .000. .000--in the last year $252.-

In regard TO the budget, McWhirter
said the chamber had been con-
sistent advocate Of economy In Govern

record of Congress during the last six
years in keeping appropriations within
the figures recommended by the Presi-
