by Treaty.

BY the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, June 9.-Early adjust
ment by treaty of taxation OF foreign
corporations to eliminate the present
evils of double taxation was predicted
here yesterday by Mitchell B. Carroll,
League of Nations authority.
Carroll is visiting the larger countries
of Europe and Asia in an international
tax survey.
On his return to Geneva he will re-
port to the Fiscal Committee of the
League. which is expected to draft pro-
posed treaties based upon his recon-
mendations.
Some arrangement probably will be
made so that business operating in a
country which charges profit tax will
be charged by that country only with
the difference, if any. between that
tax and the tax of the corporations

ALEXANDRIA WATER|
RATES ARE RAISED.
Ten Pot. Increase Granted
by Corporation Commission
Effective Tomorrow.

Special Dispatch to The S.:
RICHMOND, Va, January 30.-The
Alexandria Water Co., a subsidiary of
the American Water Works 81 Electric
Co., was allowed a horizontal increase
of 10 per cent in rates today by the
State Corporation Commission. The
company had asked increases Of sp-
proXimately 40 per cent. The new rates
are to become effective Monday.
The commission found the present
fair value of the plant as of December
81, 1880, to be S1,150,000. The COM
pany had asked for a valuation of
81 100000 1t went on to say that the
net return upon this valuation under
present raes, allowing for q proper and
reasonable deduction for operating ex-
penses, is approximately SO per cent
that 5.3 per cent Is not fair and rea-
sonable return; that, therefore, some in
crease in rates is necessary; that a
horizontal increase of 10 per cent would
produce return Of approximately Ga
cent on the present fair valuation as
found, and that approximately ga per
cent is the fair return in view Of all the
facts and circumstances OF the case.
The company was ordered by the
commission to proceed forthwith to
clean its cast iron distribution system
to an extent Suficient to enable 1t to
render adequate and reasonable service
to the public; that such cleaning be
pressed to as speedy completion as is
practical and possible that, in all
events, the cleaning be completed by
January /, 1888

DOLE BATTLE LINES
FORMED IN SENATE
Fight on Direct Federal Job
less Relief Due to Start
Tomorrow.
By the Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press.
Rival camps rallied their strength
yesterday for the opening in the Senate
tomorrow Of the long awaited battle
over direct Federal appropriations for
unemployment relief.
One of the most spectacular debates
of the session is In prospect on a
motion by Chairman La Toilette of the
Manufactures Committee to take up
the bill reported by his committee to
appropriate s375 100000 for this pur-
pose.
The proposal is expected to receive
support from the Independent Republi-
cans and some Democrats, but the
Democratic high command is still un-
decided on its tactics.
Opposed by G. o. p.
President Hoover and the regular
Republican group is staunchly opposed
to this type of legislation.
A subcommittee appointed by the
Democratic Steering Committee to
formulate a program met yesterday and
discussed possible substitutes for the
direct relief bill, but reached no definite
conclusion.
One Of the proposals discussed by
this subcommittee. composed of Sena-
tors Walsh Of Montana, Wagner Of New
York and Black of Alabama, was the
substitution of bill to appropriate the
money for road appropriations instead
Of direct relief.
Another plan receiving some atten-
ton was a proposal to lend the money
to the States instead of making 1t an
outright gift from the Federal Treasury.
Sponsors of the bill were opposed to
both substitutes, feeling that a public
works program would not provide the
relief they contend is urgently needed
and asserting that some State laws
make the loan proposal impractical
Administration leaders maintained
their opposition to the measure, but
were planning to place no obstacles in
the way Of a vote to take it up. In fact
they were prepared to clear the way for
such a vote.
May Seek Bilps Return.
There was strong intimation from
Democratic leaders that motion would
be made to have the bill sent back to
committee on the grounds that the
need for Federal relief has not been
sufficiently demonstrated
Senators La Toilette and Costigan
Democrat, Colorado, authors of the
measure, were prepared to lead the fight
for its adoption.
Meanwhile, Senator Glass Democrat,
Virginia., was comforting with financial
experts with a view to having his bill
to relieve depositors of closed banks
and to revise national banking laws
ready for the Senate before the end Of
next week.
Republican leaders have agreed to
give this measure the right of way in
the Senate when it is ready for consid-
Grafton.
Senator Borah Republican, 1daho)
said yesterday the question of direct re-
lief turns on the necessity for it. He
favored Federal appropriations if local
communities were unable to take care
of their own needs.
