TREASURY ASKSFOR
ESTIMATES soon ON
TAXPAYMENTS MADE
Officials Have Been Unable e
Tell What Effect Market
Crash Has Had

washington, Mar. l7.-R-The
treasury today wired q number Of the
larger income tax collection offices
in various parts Of the country to re-
port by telegraph estimates OF the
March Is returns In their respective
areas.
In this way officials believed that
by nightfall q preliminary estimate
would be ready for Secretary Mellon
and President Hoover Of the amount
Of money Uncle Sam had received on
his first big pay day" for the cal
endar year 1880.
Adding Machines Busy
This morning adding machines and
pencils were being used with dispatch
in the offices Of the internal revenue
bureau, but It was impossible to figure
just how much money had been re-
ceived.
Up to the close of business on
March II, the last day for which
complete figures are available, the
treasury had collected q total Of $49.-
358.998 since the first of the month
from income tax payments.
During the same period last year
the collections amounted to Sc. 8O4,-
$50. This, however, was not taken tc
indicate much, since during the year
before 1928, the collections were
100000 above the 1929 receipts, bu,
when complete the 1929 receipts ex-
ceeded those of 1928.
The treasury has estimated thai
the total of the payments made last
Saturday should approximate $780,
000, ZOO. The collections last March
were $6Ol 100000 but since that time
congress has authorized q one pei
cent cut in the normal income rate.

Hold them if you can, /

don't shoot"
America has been disbraced again.
This time, it happens in darkest Tex
as. Sherman is the name of the city.
1t has about 10000 inhabitants, with
95 per cent. white. There are two
white colleges, Y. M. G. A, in this
Athens of Texas, and twenty-seven
churches. But law and order has abb
solutely failed in the citadel of civil
ization (so-called) The story is
Negro accused of attacking a white
woman, and, ,allegedly had made
confession, the court was already to
function, until Texas ruffiians decid-
ed that lynching was to be held.
And, according to the press, this
condition was sensed by those in au-
thority, and the governor Of the state
was informed and these are his words
according to the associated press:
Hold them, if you can, but don't
shoot. If governor of any common
wealth has made such weak declar-
alton we have no record of it. In
fact, it is simply "a silent invitation
to the mob, and did they take it?
Well, they burned the Jail, pillaged
business, RACED the court house and
roasted the accused criminal alive,
and then tied chain to the victims

neck and dragged him thru the
streets of this citadel? of civilization.
Today Sherman, Texas, is under
martial law.
If a more disgraceful thing has
ever happened in this country, it is
not on record. Dan Moody, who was
a Hoovercrat in 1928, is the governor
of the state, that was the scene of
this orgy. Texas has been disgraced,
law and order has been made mock
cry, and business has been paralyzed.
AS much as those of the liberal South
would desire to the contrary, it seems
that the only method that is left to
handle lynching is for congress to
pass an antilynch law. Long expe-
rience nthis matter, has proved that
might is the only law of Right. If
America is to hold its selfrespect
with the rest of the civilized world,
it must stamp out lynching. This
paper holds no brief for that criminal
or any other, but orderly process of
the law is the foundation of our con-
stitution and of our institutions
Those who will not respect the law
must be made to respect it. A liberal
