CROWD AT ELKS
APRIL FOOL DANCE

Filled to overflowing with dancers,
the lodge and club rooms in the
Elks' building on Grand avenue,
was a scene of joyous gayety on
Tuesday evening when the local
lodge of the B. P. o. E. gave its
April Fool dance to which all friends
of Elks were invited.
With music by Gene Peltier'S or
chestra from eight thirty to mid
night, the floor was crowded almost
to its capacity with couples who, as
guests of the lodge, had come on in
vitation to be present at the last So
cial affair of the season to be Civ
en- by the lodge under the super
vision of its outgoing and popular
exalted ruler, Lew Levin. Lew gives
way to C. c. Cheshire next Tuesday

SHOWER OF THE
QUEER ARRESTED

Through the astuteness of r. r.
Frazier, of the Citizens Stage line
here, a shower of the queer" was
apprehended in Tucson yesterday
on the arrival of the Nogales stage.
A few moments before the stage
was due to leave here a man hur-
riedly approached the desk at the
stage office and demanded q ticket
to Los Angeles, at the same time
placing two ten dollar bills, folded
lengthwise on the desk. Noting the
mans apparent nervousness Frazier
inspected the bills to discover that
they bore the engraving of George
Washington which was somewhat
unusual as the likeness of the faith
er of his country appears only on
notes of one dollar value.
Closer inspection disclosed the
fact that the one dollar silver GER
tificate had been cleverly raised to
ten dollars. Reaching the Tucson
office by phone Frazier explained
the situation with the result that
the stranger was taken into custody
when three more raised bills were
found in his possession. Needless to
say the passengers journey to Los
Angeles was delayed for an indef-
mite period.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
When the Treasury Department last
week made another tax refund,
amounting to approximately $685.
100000, to the United States Steel
Corporation, it brought the total OF
taxes refunded, plus interest, to that
corporation UP to more than $97,-
600 900. Also, it brought the total OF
all taxes refunded by the Treasury
Department since Andrew w. Mel
lon became Secretary up to nearly
three billion dollars Nearly all of
these returns have been to big cor
porationS, such as the steel corpora
ton, and nearly every dollar OF the
money returned was collected dur
ing the administration of Woodrow
Wilson as war taxes to help defray
Americas cost of participation in
the World War.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton, of course, heads the list OF
giant corporations which areNbenefi-
ciaries of the tax refund policy of
Secretary Mellon. But there are
many others, including the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia,
which got return of nearly $3,-
100000 at one time, and the Amer
lean Window Glass Company. OF
Pittsburgh, which at one time re-
ceived more than $2,1OO,o00, and al
so the Aluminium Company of Am
erica, of Pittsburgh, company
owned largely by the Mellon family,
which received one return amount
ing to more than $1,500,0o0.
These taxes, plus interest, which
are being returned in such large
sums were for the most part collect
ed during the war years and up to
the close of the second Wilson ad-
ministration. In all they total, tax
es, credits and interest, more than
So, 700, 100000, and 83 per cent of
them were collected as war excess
profits taxes, for the direct purpose
of meeting the cost of Americas
participation in the World War.
Their payment began in 1925 and
the claims are passed upon only by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon.
This staggering sum, more than
50, 00,000,000, is approximately
$300,000,000 more than the total
Federal income tax collections. cor
poration and individual, for the fis-
cal year 1929. It is but slightly less
than the total ordinary expenses of
the Federal government for the
same year. 1t is more than the total
wealth of any one of several States,
including Maine, Arkansas, Florida
Montana and North Dakota, and is
double the total wealth of states of
the size and population of Arizona,
Idaho and New Hampshire.
If pending claims are settled on
a similar basis, another billion dol
lars will be added, making the total
of refunds nearly four billion dol
lars, with which sum in the Treas
ury the Federal Government could
suspend the collection of all taxes
for an entire year.
