Rich Man Against

Rights in Tax Measure

"But after that" he said, 81
would impose high taxes-a rate
between rs and 100 per cent in ex-
cess of $100,000,000 would be
about right"
Senator Connally, democrat.
Texas, Is preparing an amendment
for a maximum surtax of so per
cent on incomes above 100000.
Senator McGill, democrat, Kansas,
said he favored rs to 80 per cent
levies on incomes above $1,000, 600.
The rate now in the bill is 40 per
cent on everything over 100000.
Meanwhile President Hoover,
searching through the govern
ment's $4,000, 100000 budget to
sax taxpayers money, hopes to
place a series Of specific economy
proposals before the special econ
omy committee of the house Satur-
day.
Whether the senate will coop
crate in the economy conference
probably will be decided today
when it acts on resolution of
Senator Byrnes, democrat, 8. c.,
asking the president to submit his
specific economy proposals to con-
gress as a whole, rather than to a
committee.
There were indications that Mr.
Hoover also was exerting consid-
cradle pressure on his cabinet Sec
retaries. Most have complained to
the senate appropriations commit
tee against the ten per cent reduc-
lions ordered by the senate. Even
Secretary of Treasury Mills, who
has emphasized so much the neces-
sity of balancing the budget, pro-
tested against reductions In his
own departments expenses.
The president, comforting the
last two days with heads of prac-
tically every government depart
ment, apparently asked them to
study their budgets again.

New Questions
May Go Before
Federal Courts
Treaties With Great Britain Involved as They Have
Direct Bearing on Alien Nonresident Who
\ Cannot Inherit Real Estate Except Under Certain
/ Conditions

The interesting question is one
which will probably reach the
federal courts, as it will have to be
determined how far the state sta
tutes as to inheritance are modi-
fed by the federal treaties with
Great Britain, If at all. Under the
state statutes, if the wills are up
set, Alexander Robertson gets all
the real estate, unless the courts
hold that the contract to sell it is
equivalent to turning it into cash.
If either of the wills stand, he gets
only his proportion as named in
the will so approved.
The questions involved are in
ricate and novel and it looks as
though the final settlement of the
estate would be deferred for a
long time and be the subject of
much litigation, and may have to
be settled by the supreme court of
the United States.

CAPITOL THEATRE

Whirlwind action and the infec-
tiously winning personality of the
cowboy hero, Tom Keene, dominate
"Freighters of Destiny" the RKO
Pathe western feature which opens
today at the Capitol Theatre.
A romance of the pioneer wagon
freighters, the picture abounds in
swift movement, spectacular fights
suspense, and human interest. Filmed
in the high Sierra Nevada mountains
In the shadow of Mt. Whitney and
other gigantic peaks, it also provides
unsurpassed scenic beauty.
Keene appears as the leader OF a
forlorn hope, a cowboy who pilots a
wagon train to the succor of a
starving town after raiders have
killed his father and demoralized the
teamsters. Riding like q demon
fighting with reckless abandon, and
playing his scenes with sincerity and
understanding. he gives a performance
that Is certain to increase his swiftly
mounting popularity. His work is en-
HANGED by that Of his imposing sup
porting cast, Barbara Kent. Mitchell
Harris. Frank Rice. Billy Franey,
Frederick Burton. William Welsh and
Fred Burns, and the virile direction Of
Fred Allen.

must be sold at $40 an acre.
In recent years, he explained, oil
and gas has been located on many
Of these lands and are believed to
exist in Others In view Of this it
has become more desirable from the
states point of view for them to
lease the land to prospectors rather
than sell it for $40 an acre.
