public DEBT IS Gun
TO LOWEST FIGURES
Since CLOSE Of WAR
Remainder Of 1929 Surplus Will
Be Applied to Liabilities
Incurred by Combat

Warrington, July 1.-(F)-The gov
ernment entered its new fiscal year
today with the public debt cut to the
lowest figures since the World War
and S6l .000, 900 on hand to reduce it
still further.
Largely because Of the widespread
prosperity and more specifically the
profits made by individual income tax
payers In the exceedingly active and
constantly rising security market" !"
the treasury announced. total receipts
In the last fiscal year were $l85, ,000,-
600 greater than expenditures as
compared with a surplus Of $37 ,000, 900
estimated In the budget.
BY applying to the public debt
$l24. 900 900 Of the. years surplus with
$40, 900 900 from the sinking fund and
other debt requirements chargeablc
against ordinary receipts, the total
debt was brought down to SIG, ,93l ,OOO,-
600 from $l7,604, 900, 900 a year ago.
The remainder Of the 1929 surplus is
to be applied to the public debt in the
near future.
Total receipts for the year were
placed at $4,033, 900 900, about $9,000,-
600 less than was collected in the fis-
cal year 1928, while expenditures
amounted to t3,s4s 900 900, an increase
Fof $20l, ,N0000. Interest payments
totaled 407S, 1000, 900, q reduction OF
$54. .000, 900 in the year.
Income tax receipts" the treasury
announced, aggregated $2.330, ,000. .000
as against $2.l74000 900 in 1928, or an
increase Of @l56,000. 900. The receipts
from the current corporation income
tax were somewhat lower than during
the previous fiscal year owing to q
reduction In the corporation income
tax rate from 1872 per cent to II per
cent, but practically all Of the loss
occasioned by the reduced rate was
made up by the increased income re-
ported by corporations. due to In
creased prosperity. Back tax collec-
tions likewise showed a falling off,
somewhat greater than was antici-
pated."
The rise In the expenditures total
was accounted for chiefly by increases
Of sos 100000 in postal expenditures
including $4,000. 900 back pay to rail-
roads for transporting the mails: OF
~, ,O00, 900 in internal revenue re-
funds: $4,000, 900 In naval expendi-
lures: $30.000.O00 for flood control
and relief: 32o,0o0,0o0 for the civil
service retirement fund, and $16,000,-
900 in veterans bureau expenditures
The difference between 1928 and 1925
expenditures was brought down some.
what by the $54, ,000. 900 decrease il
interest payments and the fact that
the total for the former year included
3S0. .O00, 900 for war claims.
Customs duties. including the ton
age tax, brought in $602, 900 600 as
compared with $s69. 100000 in 1928
Miscellaneous internal revenue re.
ceipts declined $4,000 900 to $607 .000,-
900 although losses Of $45. .0o0, 900 re-
sulting from repeal Of the automobile
tax were almost offset by increases
Of 44O.000.000 from the tobacco tax
and @l6y000.O 900 from stamp taxes.

WABASH RAILROAD
SEEKS trunk Line
TO EASTERN COAST
Road Would Be Only One With
Rails Extending From Mis-
souri, River to Atlantic

Washington, July 1.-tR)-Forma-
ton OF q new railway trunk line In
the east Is planned by the Wabash
railroad.
An application for establishment Of
the new system was brought to Wash
ington today by representatives Of
the Wabash for the consideration OF
the interstate commerce commission.
It asks authority to acquire con-
troll by lease or stock purchase OF nine
railroads and joint control OF five 9TH
ers. Trackage rights over several
systems also are sought.
II approved BY the commission, the
plan would result In establishment OF
q fifth eastern trunk line with west
ern termini at Chicago. st. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha and Des Moines
and eastern termini at New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The four trunk lines now In oper-
alton are the Pennsylvania, New York
Central, Baltimore and Ohio and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. The latter two
have filed merger plans OF their own
With the commission which have been
opposed by the Wabash.
!, Seeks Control
Lines which the Wabash seeks to
control are the Lehigh Valley. Wheel
inR and Lake Erie, Pittsburgh and
West Virginia, Western Maryland,
Lehish and New England, Akron,
Canton and youngstown. the Elgin,
Joliet and Eastern, the Toledo, Peoria.
and Western and the Chicago and
Illinois Midland.
A one-sixth interest Is sought IN the
Montour Railroad company. the Mon
ougahela Connecting Railroad COM
pany, Union Railroad company Of
Pittsbureh, and the Newburgh and
South Shore Railway company, to-
eether with . one seventh interest IN
the Toledo Terminal Railroad COM
pany.
Need Better Service
"The Wabash Is the only carrier
whose rails extend from Kansas City,
Omaha, and Des Moines into the
heart of the eastern territory" the
application said.
There Is need Of direct passenger
service between the Atlantic seaboard
ana the territory west q the Missis-
sippi river, avoiding unnecessary In.
convenience to the travelling public
In being required to change trains q
junction points.
the acquisition BY the Wabash u
the Lehigh Valley would provide Z
direct route from the western terri
tory TO New York. over which route
through passenger and freight serv-
lce would Be operated without trans
Ter at any junction. The public 4
entitled 70 this service and viii ye-
ceive Il II the Wabash q placed IN
