Many farmers he. said, are obliged
to haul water long distances from
springs and wells and are facing the
possibility of losing their live stock be-
cause Of inadequate drinking water for
them
The fact that so many of the wells
in the county are sunk to approximately
the same Level is largely responsible for
the shortage, he said. The situation
could be relieved somewhat by deepen
ing the wells, he said. and to this end
well diggers in the district have been

fiscal year 1880 were more than $780,
5000 in excess of the amount of col
lections in 1929, it was shown today In
preliminary report Of the commits
sioner of internal revenue.
The fact that this increase was re-
corded Notwithstanding the 1 per cent
reduction In income taxes voted last
year as an emergency measure served
to emphasize the hope Of President
Hoover and congressional leaders that
the reduction may be continued next
year.
Total collections from all sources In
1880 were 5000, las, 1917. The amount
collected In 1929 was $2.939, 054 ,375 .43

Robert II. Lucas. who is now execu-
tive director of the Republican Nationa
Committee, pointed out in his last re-
port as commissioner of internal reve'
nue. that income tax provisions in ef'

same as for the previous fiscal veal

taxes which include all sources OF in
ternal revenue except income tax

spite the reduction. income tax receipts
increased 78,984.80
The principal increases in the reve-
nue. from miscellaneous taxes were from
tobacco manufactures and documentary
stamp taxes, the latter item marking
up an increase of $l4,11l ,605.76. The
Government collected a half million
dollars less in taxes on playing cards
than in 1929.

A large increase was shown in COL
lections from the tax on the transfer
of estates on decedents, the amount
being $2,872, 483.l6. A decrease of ST.
$50, 1878 IN collections from the tax
on Jheater admissions or other places
of amusement was recorded. chiefly for

the Federal Treasury income and mis-.
cellaneous taxes totaling 5,724 ,675.71

RUM-LADEN SHIPS
WAIT IN LAKE ERIE
Planes Asked for Guardsmen
Who Patrol Difficult Bor-
der OF 35 States.

BY the Associated Press
BUFFALO, N. Y, August 25.-Un-
nciesteS Today in the Canadian waters
of Lake Erie are four. possibly five,
ocean going steamers laden with liquor.
All are awaiting favorable opportunities
10 discharge their cargoes to small boats,
the duty of which will be to dash
through the American Gordon of Coast
Guard boats, IL possible, and land
carEoes on the shores OF New York,
Pennsylvania or Ohio.
Asks Airplanes for eyes"
The situation was brought to the
attention of washington by M w. Ras-
mussen, commander of the Coast Guard
in this district, who asked that Coast
Guard headquarters dispatch airplanes
to act ss eyes for the rum chasers he
commands.
Coast Guard boats, rs in number,
have been modified in American waters
between points opposite Port Burwell,
Ontario, and Long Point Ontario. 1t
was between these two ports that Lake
Fries rum row was established and II
is supposed. still is being maintained
Much uncertainty exists, however, as
to the exact location of the big liquor
carriers. for they move about, carry
their own smaller boats, loaded, and
are prepared to send them toward the
American shore at favorable opportu-
mites.
Boat Once Seized Is Leader.
The vedas. recently seized by the
Canadian government and permitted to
sail away again after being fined $400,
was the forerunner of Lake Fries rum
row. She made her way through the
St Lawrence to the Great Lakes and
discharged portion of her liquor cargo
to small boats which eventually found
their way through American waters to
waiting consignees on shore. Customs
officials think the Vedszx now is men,
Der of the so-called rt-w, waiting to dis
charge the remaindek of her load.
American revenue Neaft are not per-
mitted TO patrol on the Canadian side
of the lakes imaginary boundary line.

the following day, the gravity of which
II apparently did not foresee; and again
during the days from August 20 to %,
when the danger, though imminent,
probably still could have been warded
of by proper precautions =. The made
uuacy OF the intelligence service, which
is admitted by the mandatory govern
-ment, explains this failure to appreciate
the situation.
Armed Forces Inadequate.
"D-The hesitation Of the local adj
ministration during this period is ex-
planned by the fact that at the time OF
the incidents 1t had altogether made
quate armed forces at its disposal. The
authorities were julled into false sense
of security by the absence for some
years of any overt acts of hostility. In
consequence the forces were reduced
below the margin of safety.
1.-The last British regiment was with
drawn from Palestine in 1925 and from
that time onward maintenance Of order
was entrusted to body Of native police
, mostly Arabs, but party Jews, with a
section of British police whose strength
was reduced year by year. AS might
have been expected In q country where
explosions of religious and racial pas
sions have constantly threatened the
public peace there was a detection on
the part of native contingents as soon
as rioting brought the two races into
conflict.
Some of them even joined the rioters
Lastly in Palestine, a country OF 90O,-
900 inhabitants, maintenance of order
at that critical moment was entirely In
the hands of IT'S British policemen, one
squadron of airplanes and one armoi ed
/ car company. The permanent man.
/ dates commission cannot help feeling
| that the insufficient number of British
troops and inadequacy Of the police
force was the main cause of the large
area over which the disturbances took
place and the gravity Of their conse-
| quenceS.
Caused Loss of Life.
THE circumstances attendant upon
/ the outbreaks at Hebron and safed SUI
! ficed to show that this inadeQuacy wa;
largely responsible for the loss of many
lives"
The Palestine Commission consider:
| that the Arab element might have founc
its interests safeguarded by govern
ment agricultural policy including pub
| lie works to develop a fertile area anc
the organization of an agricultural
credit, which would also have indirectly
helped toward the establishment of tbs
Jewish national home, the report con-
ttnues.
The report concludes that the man,
dates commission ventures to thinl
that had the mandatory government
concerned itself more closely with the
social and economic adaptation of tn.
Arab population to new conditions dut
to Jewish immigration II would have
served the interests of both sections o.
the population"

PLANE POSSIBILITY DOUBTED:
Coast Guard OfficiaIs Fear Sea Craft
Overland Flight Hazardous.

Coast Guard headquarters doubt the

No request had been received early
today from Comdr. Rasmussen, in
charge of the Coast Guard at Buffalo,
for the airplane which he is understood
to want.
The three seaplanes of the Coast
Guard are all on ocean water. To get

Special Dispatch to The Star
FAIRFAX, Va, April S.-Fairfax
County will receive from the State this
year 81, $50 as its share of the fund for
standard elementary schools. This rep
resents an appropriation of 500 for each
Of the 80 standard elementary rooms in
the county. OF this total $3.50 goes to
the school board Of Falls Church. leav-
In 1929 for county schools.
The States allotment per standard
room varies each year according to the
number Of rooms in the State which
meet standard requirements. The total
appropriation is fixed by the Legislature
each room getting an equal share. H
Harris Hart, State superintendent of
education, in notifying Division Supt.
Woodson of this allotment, states the
State Board of Education has more
standard schools than the money for
the purpose will adequately care for. It
therefore becomes necessary to reduce
the appropriation per school.
All except IA elementary rooms In
Fairfax County meet requirements for
standardization. The loss in practically
every one Of the ID rooms, according to
Woodson, Is due to the low certificate Of
the teacher. A normal professional >er-
tif1cate is the minimum required for
Standardization, except that an elemen-
tary certificate, when accompanied by
two years of successful teaching expert
ence as certified by the division super
iutendent Is acceptable
