Speaker Says Taxes
Are Killing Austria

When considered on the basis of in
vested capital and return, the high
cost Of government in Austria is appar-
ent. The shareholder gets only % per
cent Of any net income, and the tax
ing powers receive the lions share, it
being 70 per cent. Viewed in this light,
Austria's bank rate Of 6.5 per cent does
not mean much. Austrian shares do
not show much yield; that Is, If there
Is any yield the state gets it. For this
reason the Austrian share market is
worse than dull. It Is impossible to
obtain capital through sales Of shares.
Capital must be sought outside Austria,
and at high rates-12 to IA per cent.
During 1929 Austria raised only about
$l,250,000 issuing shares. As one
speaker said in board of trade meet
ing at Vienna, Austria is killing itself
with taxes"

his company will expand with

that he stood low in his classes

Just being dull, or standing

One need no more than glance at the
geographical distribution of these ~

realize that fully nine Of these are IN

nothing less than political miracle.

leaders. on the other hand, may say
the list is too large. Either may be
light. The9 conditions In the different
States vary so greatly that one can
make no generalization about them.
One then would need to take up each
state separately and recite the local
conditions-and that process would be
SO detailed as to interest few persons
except politicians.
Democratic Gains Foreseen.
The sum Of it Is that the Republicans
have a chance to take three senatorial
seats away from the Democrats. The
Democrats have q chance to take nine
seats away from the Republicans. The
clearly likely consequence Is that in the
net the Democrats will make some
gains. And the further consequences is
that the next Senate will be like the

New Mexico-are States in which the
Democrats may suffer losses.
To say the same thing the other way
round, of these 13 seats now held by
Democrats, the outside reasonable
chance of the Republicans is limited to
three. One may put it this way: The
Republicans this year cannot hope to
take more than three seats away from
the Democrats.

REED REITERATES
HIS FORMER STAND

Kansas City, as, July 15-P>-Con-
tinuing his attack upon the federal
farm boards proposals for wheat
acreage reduction, Gov. Clyde M.
Reed Of Kansas today urged business
leaders to Join him in opposing cur
tailment Of the crops production in
this area.
Addressing the Kansas City. Kas.,
Rotary club, Governor Reed in a pre-
pared address stated:
THE wheat situation Is a disaster
Of the first magnitude, and its effect
upon business in general and the
wheat section in particular cannot be
v r-emphasized."
The governor added: aside from
the wheat grower himself, everyone
else in this section Of the country is
more concerned from q business view
point in the volume Of production
than any other phase Of 1t.
1T Is volume that makes business
for the country elevator more than
andy other single thing.
with large volume, every interest
touching grain is busy and prosperous,
regardless Of price, for it is volume,
not price, that concerns them.
II only wish that the business
leaders of these communities could
be brought to see that they have
much more Of an interest in the well
fare Of the wheat producer than they
have manifested up to this time"

D|SCLOSES FIRST
TREATY PROPOSAL
Reed Gives Senate Text Of Orig.
inaI v. S. Plan During De-
bate With Johnson

Washington, July 15.-H)-The text
of the first American proposal made
at the London naval conference was
given to the senate today by Senator
Reed. Republican, Pennsylvania, one
OF the delegates during a bristling
with Senator Johnson, Re-
publican, California.
Advocates of the treaty we're ready
to rest their case before the senate
with a speech by Senator Reed, and
then leave the burden of carrying on
the debate to q small but determined
band Of opponents.
Prospects Of reaching an early vote
on ratification of the pact were in
creased by an informal agreement on
the Norris reservation reached among
friends of the treaty.
The reservation would stipulate this
government shall not be bound by any
secret understanding or agreements
which are not q part of the treaty.
It was submitted after President
Hoover declined to give the senate
custody Of all papers relating to the
London conference.
At first 1t provoked opposition from
friends Of President Hoover and also
from Senator Robinson of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader. He, like Reed,
was a delegate to London and as
serted no secret understandings ex-
listed.
Senator Norris has agreed to elm
mate the preamble Of his resolution,
telling Of the refusal of the president
to give the senate the papers. Ad-
ministration friends have agreed to
accept 1t with this change and one of
the big fighting points in the treaty
debate seems to have been eliminated.
With this contest apparently out of
the way, interest conferred in the eff
forts to keep a quorum on hand until
a final vote is reached.
Treaty advocates are afraid Of a
filibuster against the pact. In that
event they are going to insist upon
adoption Of the cloture rule limiting
debate. However, no move in that
direction will be made unless a fill
buster Is definitely begun.

Los Angeles, July 15.-P)-A frenzy,
caused by brooding over stock market
losses, was offered today by Frank
Keaton, Sc, as an explanation for his
staying of Motley Flint, Los Angeles
f%inancier.
Rising from among the spectators
as Flint stepped from the witness
stand yesterday, Keaton fired three
times at the retired banker. AS Flint
collapsed, Keaton threw his gun at
the financier and raised his hands In
surrender.

Keaton, an Inglewood, Calf, real
estate dealer, later reenacted the
shooting, saying he knew Flint by
name but never had met the finan-
cier.
In a rambling story. Keaton said
he had left his home where his sickly
wife at times takes In washing to
help provide for the couples two
daughters. He carried q pistol he
had kept in a trunk for 40 years. He
had no interest in the trial at which
Flint was q witness, he said, but was
drawn to the courtroom by some in
applicable urge.

the bankers associated with him.

For a time It was thought Keaton
shot Flint because of the latter's

mony touched on Julian matters 1t
made my blood boil" Police how
