INCOME TAX DROP
MAY Be REPORTED
Treasury Officials Are
Watching First Quarter
Returns Closely.
BY CHARLES d. WATKINS,
Associated Press Stan Writer.

With a dwindling surplus in Govern
Ment revenue indicated for the end OF
the present fiscal year. Treasury officials
are watching closely the first quarters
tax on 1929 measures to determine
whether receipts in President Hoover's
first full fiscal year will be adversely
affected by the stocy market collapse
last Fall.
The surplus of $225, 900 900 indicated
when the executive submitted his first
budget to Congress last December al
ready has been reduced. If Congress
grants the Presidents request made
Saturday for 100000, 900 additional for
the farm board, the surplus will be fur
Their reduced to $45 100000.
This margin between a deficit and a
surplus is so small that even with in
come tax paymens as great as received
last year it would be wiped out, and the
larger receipts expected before the coll
lapse would be required to balance the
budget.
The indicated surplus Of 1925 900, 900
first was reduced by the l per cent tax
reduction granted in normal tax on
1929 incomes by Congress. The total cut
was S160,000,0 900. but half of 1t will be
in the 1881 fiscal year.
The tax as on 1929 incomes must
reach the Government by next Saturday
midnight and for the remainder OF the
month they will pour into the Treasury
at the rate of more than 100000
day.
The threat of the Wall Street crash
TO reduce income tax payments is re-
garded as real by fiscal officials. Invest
ors, who had been counted upon to pay
q larger tax this year than last, when
they set record, lost heavily in the
violent fluctuations Of the market last
Fall.
Until the March Is payments are
tabulated. however, it will not be known
whether the payments Will exceed those
of last year.
If the March and June payments only
equal last years the total for the II
months will amount to $2,316,000 900, or
$164 100000 less than the s., 480 600, 900
that the Treasury estimated that it
would receive from that source. If this
drop in the collections should material
IL it would, together with the loss
through the tax reduction and the $780,
100000 additional for the Farm Board.
wipe out the surplus and leave deficit
of approximately $l2o,00o,000.

COHEN.-KELLY
COMEDY In
AFRICA

The Cohens and Kellys can
make you forget your troubles It
any time, but when the Cohens
and the Kellys 60 to Africa,
they make you forget that the
Rialto Theater is a sedate cinema
shrine, as they carry you through
the ivory belt with their hilarious
antics.
The piano business was bad
for the Cohens. and the Kelleys
because they used celluloid on
their keys instead Of ivory. So
the CohenS and the Kellys picked
up bag and baggage and went
to Gumbo- Gumbo. on the west
coast Of Africa where the wild
elephants charge.
Always In Trouble
After they had been ~ried for
Q distance on the backs Of pair
Of Stalwart natives, or taken for
q ride" as Cohen caustically re-
marked, the two brethren in dis
tress were confronted with a
steaming cauldron, prepared espe-
cially for them by the cannibals
whom they had met in their
travels. And the poor innocents
thought that the chief was tick
ling them when he ~ + UP
and down to ascertain their fit
ness for his next meal. Needless
to say, they scra~- out of
that dilemma, with the aid Of a
pair Of lion skins, but not with
out a series Of arguments.
George Sidney, his proportions
having increased considerably
since his last appearance, and
Charlie Murray, with his typical
old Irish face, played Cohan and
Kelly: Their performance, quite
as fine and as funny as any Of
their previous ones, was never
theless enhanced by the situations
Of the vehicle. Vera Gordon
and Kate Price, as ever, played
the wives of the harassed comics.

John Drinkwater departs from
historical legend and turns his
playwright pen to quaint English

imaginative and fluffy opus which
charmed a goodly sized Christ

Much Of the value Of Bird

expand a thin plot into an agree
able three-act lesson in social
democracy.
Close To Farce
There were moments, particu-
larly in q verbose second act,
when Mr.. Drinkwater's play was
treacherously close to boisterous
farce, but a studied restraint in
playing kept it generally within
the bounds of legitimate comedy.
And since the reward for these
fevered sallies into the realm Of
genteel burleSque was gales OF
laughter, who is to complain?
It all concerns the stubborn
resistance Of Thomas Greenleaf,

Joan, to accept the serious at

of a title squire and neighbor.
Knows His Place
"The Arnwoods," says the class
conscious Greenleaf, have been at
Bell Croft three hundred years.
We've been at the Bird in Hand
pretty near as long. And we've al
ways known who was who and
which hat fitted which head.
Gerald Arnwood's no good to you

Three of the guests at the

which develops highly amusing
and dramatic phases until the
inherent prejudices of an irate
father are turned into a reluctant
consent.
In it's character studies, Bird
