B3charach, IN his statement, agreed
with the Republican independents advo-
eating higher income taxes that the
rich are getting richer and the poor are
getting poorer" He cited statistics to
show the only class which reaped sub
stantial profits during the years 1928 to
1929 consisted of about l4.700 individ-
uals with net incomes IN excess of
100000 per annum."
Agree on Higher Incomes.
This class he said, increased their
investment income and probably their
capital by more than so per cent; the
other classes lost ground.
In view OF the fact that the Gov
eminent has placed no substantial lin
itation on the accumulation of wealth.
and because in recent prosperous years
the relatively few taxpayers With net
incomes in excess of 100000 have actu-
ally accumulated extraordinary amounts
of capital, it seems obvious that these in
dividuals are able to bear. and should
bear, the bulk of any increased tax
burden"
Senator Reed disclosed that he ia
vored the inheritance or estate tax, but
he did not go so far as Bacharach and
propose increasing these rates.
Senator Reed called late yesterday
upon President Hoover and Secretary
Mellon, but he said he did not discuss
taxes with either. The Senator has
just returned from his vacation. and
his calls. he said. were principally to
pay his respects upon the President
and the Treasury head.

demand the release of George Cox. jr.,

service for DR.. Heard was held and
charges against him denied.
Cox was released and q hearing was
scheduled for yesterday.
While waiting for the hearing, the
evangelist and his followers asked per-

granted. LETTERS, however, included in
his prayer a supplication for bolt of

Mayor Bosler interrupted him. In the
confusion that followed, a follower of

ground and was subdued by police.

TRADING LIMITED.
Good News From Germany
Offset by Collapse of
Cotton Prices. ~
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August I0.-The bond
market had encouraging news today in
the victory Of the conservative elements
in Prussia thus assuring the continu-
ance of the Bruening government and
its constructive policy, but the collapse
of cotton prices, both at home and
abroad, was an offsetting factor AS a
result, most bond issues were soft.
Trading was in small volume
German bonds opened sharply higher
and held most of their gains through
the subsequent reactionaTy movement.
Young Plan 5l2s retained q point of
their 2l2-point opening advance.
Dawes reparations rs also held a point
gain. German municipals, like Bremen
Is, Berlins 6s, Cologne 6l2s and Prus-
sian IS. were higher. German Central
Bank IS and rs ran up / to points,
but lost some of the improvement later.
Industrials, including Siemens g. Halske

were up sharply.
The European outlook was generally
brighter. The J. F. Schroeder Bank of
Bremen was successfully reopened.
While this bank was of comparative I'M
Importance, its reopening indicated the

This is considered the first step toward
the removing of the moratorium on for

normal relations. Sterling exchange was

Cuban bonds were depressed by the

In the domestic list trading was very
slow. Junior railroad bonds were frac-

there was no news to account fer this
movement it was attributed to specula-

bonds were said to be much oversold.

Potential Markets Exist Abroad for Sur

Period Of Overproduction.

tainly we can assume a broad risk In
a Sale-particularly since, entirely
apart from from economic advantages
1t gives the opportunity Of relieving
millions of starving, unfortunate and
unhappy people.
Moreover, the machinery for ac-
complishing this is at hand in our great
agricultural co-operatiyes, our trade as
Sociations and similar institutions.
which can undertake the sale of these
SURPRISES to those individuals and buy
ing co-operativeS of other countries
who need such goods so badly to-
day
Sales should be directed to those
countries where it is logical for our
export trade to develop and expand
during the next few years. The Far
East is certainly of significant i'm
portance in this regard There lies
abundant opportunity for the sale of
raw materials and finished products
once the huge population of those areas
has been reles sed from poverty and
brought to higher standard of exist
ence-and the installment plan is the
quickest and soundest method.
Benefits TO Accrue.
With proper precautions observed.
the benefits of international long-term
credit sales should react to the early
alienation of the depression and cause
a sustained period of prosperity to
ensue. Heavy increases in national
governmental debts and ensuing in
creased taxes would be prevented.
What amounts to commodity loans in
reality would supplant money loans.
Suffering, starvation and ultimately I'M
employment both at home and abroad
would be relieved-a gradual increase
in living standards and potentially
broader markets for finished goods and
manufacturers would ensue. The credit
of many countries now rated as very
high risks would be improved.
Finally we, as the sellers, would
escape from burdensome surpluses,
establish a firmer price trend and re-
lieve not only our farmers, but the en-
tire economic community Let the CO.
operatives and industrial institutes and
trade associations give thought to these
advantages.
The skeleton Of the mechanism
necessary TO put this plan to opera
ton already exists What is needed is
action now.
