Method In Estimate

The Courier-J Journals estimate of s10O,000,00O loss was arrived at b. accumulating the percentage of eS- timated crop losses from the wealth CT bureau and other sources and subtracting it from the value of last years crop. The loss to tobacco was estimated at from 25 to so per cent. The value of last years crop was s65,856s0Oo, which would make the loss to the crop alone around S30,000,000.
 Weather bureau estimates were that the corn crop would be only from 25 to 40 per cent normal. AS last years crop was valued at s72,- 523, 900, a loss of more than S30.- 0oO,00O would occur if the crop even was one-half of normal. Other crops have suffered accordingly.

Dr. Robbins went 10 the homes ot both families and advised their parents 10 have antl-rab.es serum injected into the boys.
 The mothers left the decision up to the boys fathers, and these de- cjdcd against the treatment. While the families are said to be meuncrs Of q sect which dlsapproves e modi- cal treatment, Mrs GengerlacE de- med that religious belief had any thing 10 do with the refusal of the serum, saying it was due merely to disbelief in the efficacy of the 'reat- ment.

HOdeklnson today T have never violated any law and if there was q law which compelled Us to use this serum I most certainly would do so, I am opposed 10 1t simply because I do not believe in serum.

 When questioned this morning re- gardlng the reason for her opposi- tion to serum treatment, Mrs. Hodg- kinson said that some years ago. in accordance with the law, her three children had been vaccinated against smallpox. George had suffered no i'll effects, she stated. but the other two had been affected and had been ill for some time thereafter, although both are healthy again at present.
 Neither boy has shown any signs of rabies as yet, although Dr. Rob- bins stated this morning that the period of incubation was as high as 40 days and sometimes even extend ed to a year. The symptoms are se- were convulsion5 the health official stated

NEPMEN'S GOODS
SEIZED FOR TAXES
Collections Playing Part in
Redistribution of Wealth
Within Soviet Union.
BY Fadio News 70 The co Star and Chicago Daily

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News Copyrisht, i93O)
MOSCOW, U. s. s. r., February is.
Tax collections are playing an inn
portant part in the redistribution of
wealth within the Soviet Union. The
: recent energetic levying Of taxes on
persons engaged in private trade has
already realized more than $50 GOO. 600,
but the commissariat of finaAce is now
revising those levies with a view to still
larger revenues for the treasury.
Few nepmen, or private traders, are
able TO pay the imposts in cash, so that
private property is coming in instead.
Wearing apparel, crockery, sewing ma
chimes and musical instruments as well
as household furniture and jewelry or
houses are being seized. by the thor
oughgoing tax collectors.
Articles Sold by Government.
Cash thus seized accrues directly to
the treasury, but the clothing and
| Chinaware and other household objects
are being sold through government
stores to trade unionists exclusively.
Thus many proletarians will wear
clothes or use dishes and stoves once
belonging to the nepmen, while the I'M
happy dealers are now among Russia's
pOOIesJ ClbiDcIlIy, NyluB WlUn Tie as
possessed kulaks or richer peasants in
degree of poverty, and both classes
have been evicted from their lodgings.
The original total levy on Moscow
dealers was 100000 rubles ($4500, 00o)
but on reconsideration the commissariat
of finance is raising its demands to
81 200, 900 rubles (S15, 000.000) and a
similar increase is effective every
where.
Death Knell to Private Trading.
Taxation, together with eviction from
quarters, the withholding of goods for
private merchandising and the denial
of transportation Of such articles on
the railways has sounded the death
knell for private trading. But the COM
missariat of finance sees that the nep-
men terminate business with a mini
mum Of wealth in any form by taxation
which is almost conflscatory in proper
lions.
Kulak wealth, however, goes to the
kolhoses or collectivized farms instead
| Of to the national treasury and 1t helps
finance the poorest peasantry during
their first years of collective farming.
