TAX INCOME LOSS
Estimate for Next Fiscal Year
Placed Between $4,000
and $4,000.
BY a STAFF Correspondent to The Star.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, June 18-A-lington
County faces loss in taxes income for
the coming fiscal year Of only $4,000
to $4,000 despite the reduction in the
tax rate 1t was revealed In a letter re-
ceived today by the County Board from
Harry K. Green, commissioner Of rev.
enue. The rate reduction was S cents
on the sl00 valuation in Arlington and
20 cents in Washington district.
Valuation Is Increased.
A check of corporation returns on
machinery and intangible property and
utility assessments revealed, Green
said, a considerable reduction due to
the general depression and shrinkage
in values. However, he said, he has
been able to recover valuations from
omitted assessments. together with an
added valuation agreed to by the Ross
Ign Gas Co. of $70,066, taxes in the
amount Of approximately $4,000, which
will make up some Of the losses.
In the cases of the Virginia Public
Service Co. and the R. F. g. P. Rail-
road, Commissioner Green said that he
and County Manager Roy S. Braden
hope to be able to recover some If not
all Of the lost values reported.
Real Estate Values.
Real estate values this year show an
increase of $315 900, he said, but this
is more than offset by the decrease in
the tax rate. Commissioner Green said
that his figures are tentative, since
assessments on personal property and
utilities are not all in.
County Treasurer Charles T. Jesse re-
ported to the board that he now has a
balance IN the treasury of sl3l, $3.50.
which is an increase since June l of
s26 l77.42. His statement shows that
MS Office has handled a total of s455.-
57246 since he took Office on March l.

these Chicago aunts, uncles and
cousins knew what they wanted done
with it. When James r. Garfield Of
Ohio attempted to make plea for the
adoption of the majority plank, Chi
cago, in the galleries, refused to listen
Even a threat to clear the galleries
was Of no avail, and very little Of
what Mr.. Garfield said was heard by
any Of the delegates to whom he was
talking.
DR.. Butler in the Limelight.
Chicago thought differently about
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler when he
had his ten minutes on the platform.
The gallery gods recognized him as
their champion and the threat to adj
journ the convention was not needed
to secure attention to his speech.
When Ogden Mills of New York
told the vast audience why he favored
the majority report, the gallery gods
listened. They had to. His powerful
voice oyer-awed them and demanded
attention. Altogether those gallery
gods did much to counteract the good
impression made by the gracious well
come extended to the delegates by
Democratic Mayor Cermak.
Speech followed speech, starting
with time limit of ten minutes and
getting down to one minute, until
every one who wanted to have his
say had been given an opportunity.
1t was such a talk-fest' as would have
been expected at national Demo-
cratic pow-wow, but, the oratory last
ing until one o'clock Thursday morn
ing, did not change single vote, and
when the roll of states was called it
resulted in the adoption of the majority
report by 462 to 6S1.
Platform and Prohibition.
The party platform as worked out
by the resolutions committee contains
% planks When it was read to the
convention on Wednesday evening the
delegates, and especially the wet Chi
cago visitors, evinced interest in only
one of the %. There was but little
interest in the fact that the party
stood for reorganization of the gov
eminent bureaus in the interest of
economy; that the party proposed to
have the government loan money to
the states for emergency relief work |;
that it stood for reduction of public
expenditures for the balancing Of
the national budget; for adherence to
the gold standard and against cur
rency imitation; for revision Of the
banking laws to protect depositors |;
