 Zinoviev spoke in Russian. He refused to grant an interview to the capitalist press.
 T cannot discuss my health or anything until I consult my com rades,' he said.
 Soviet authorities refused to re- veal Zinoviev's address, saying ne was a private individual and that they were not overly interested in reports of his death. Zinoviev was expelled from the communist party last month.

White House Hears Of State, County and

Is Stirring People to Frenzy.

Little or no heed was taken of the cost.
Bond issues were voted and t1oated with
gay abandon.
The Day of Reckoning.
day of reckoning for this era of
frenzied civic finance is now at hand.
1t is a day of increasing tax delinquen-
cies, cebt defaults, special assessment
breakdowns and mounting deficits. 1t
is a day that must mark the end of
free public spending, unless communi-
ties all over Uncle Sans broad domain
are going to follow Chicago's example
and go broke. One of the practical
proposals to be debated by the country's
business leaders in San Francisco will
concern the public school system and
perhaps education at the heavily en-
doWed State universities. Some au-
thOrities think there. are too many
teachers, too elaborate school and col
lege buildings. and too much fancy
stuff" taught to the youth of the land
all at gigantic cost to taxpayers.
Should the curriculum be cut back to
fundamentals" is one Of the concrete
questions on the Chamber of Commerce
program.
In a recent address before the Legis-
lature of Kentucky Melvin A Traylor,
president of the First National Bank of
Chicago, made some graphic statements
about the tax situation. To-day" he
said, "taX levies equal the estimated
equivalent of one days labor every week
from every man. woman and child in
the United States. Only a short time
ago one out of every % persons gain
fully employed was on the public pay
roll. Today it is one in every IL, and
it is said that at the present rate we
shall in only little more than 20 years
have one person on the pubic payroll
for every individual paying taxes. Those
are cold facts.
"One million acres of land in a
Middle Western State are taken over
by the counties of that State for un-
paid taxes. Another State has an S18.-
100000 deficit; still another State, with
S10000,000 in signed contracts for GER
tain projects, is unable to raise a single
dollar to carry on these projects. De-
linqueut taxes are at least twice as
greet as in $780, and the percentage is
as high as so per cent 70 per cent and
30 per cent in certain communities.
Schools are closed, bond issues are in
default, hundreds of CON munities are
tax bankrupt. Those are the basic facts
which we cannot, must not, dare not
evade."

LOOSE LAWS

If you have any doubts con-
corning the necessity of re-
vising the entire crazy-quilt
body of laws under which the
Veterans Bureau is now ex-
pending annually a billion
dollars, consider these facts:
A lawyer employed by the
Veterans Bureau is paid a sal
airy of $4,000 a year and also
draws $187.50 a month as re-
tirement pay for military SER
vice.
He entered the Army on
October 20, 1928, thirteen
days before the Armistice, as
"a captain in the Sanitary
Corps. At the time, the ex-
aiming board reported he
was ''physcically disqualified
and incapacitated for service,
and that he lacked knowledge
and experience"
This pension is not COM
pensation for dangers expert
enced in France. 1t is mere
ly money which an alert man
is able to obtain from the gov
eminent. The only possible
excuse for such expenditures,
and there are many similar
cases, is that the loosely
drawn laws make them posi-
BILE.
Congress can find no great
er opportunity for honest
economy, than in squeezing
political parasites out of the
Veterans Bureau. This must
be done by rewriting the laws.
The present statutes invite
abuse and inevitably result in
shocking waste of public
funds.-Coflier's.

About $4,000 stockholders were added

This is the third highest increase. in

Tree Planting Activities

This year being the 2OOth
anniversary of the birth of
George Washington, the State
Roads Commission has con-
centrated on identifying the
Washington Boulevard.
Most of the low banks and
sides of the road were either
seeded in grass or sodded. The
sleeper slopes were planted
with barberry, coral berry or
Virginia creeper. Where the
road passed through wooded
areas, these were thinned out
for 20-30 feet back so as to give
a pleasing aspect. On the lev
ell places trees were planted,
400 Oriental planes and 200
elms being set out.
Last years paintings were
all gone over and those that
had died were replaced. 80
Oriental planes were also set
out along the State Road near
Matapeake on the Eastern
Shore. The Forestry Depart
ment cooperated with the
Roads Commission on all the
paintings.

Silver International Problem

Silver International Problem
An International conference
to consider the sterilization of
silver is favored by the House
committee which has been
studying the causes of the de-
cline, abasement and demone-
tization of the metal.
AS Bernard Baruch, the well
known financier, told the COM
mittee: sit seems quite clear
to me that the matter requires
International cooperation and
study, the reaching of conclu-
sions and the taking of actions.
II believe that anything we
can do to retrace the steps of
excessive deflation and restore
the purchasing power of all
countries is a right thing to do
SO long as it is absolutely in
sured against excessive infla-
tion."
The silver problem has be-
come Of increasing moment
the past two years. BY lower
ing the purchasing power of
whole countries, it has adver-
sely affected International
trade and helped cause unem-
ployment and an Industrial de-
cline in this and other great
nations. 1t has placed Amer
lean mines in a disastrous po-
sition. The rehabilitation Of
silver will be of International
benefit.

INITIATION MEASURE

WASHINGTON, May r.
The drive to get before the
Senate the Goldsborough bill,
directing the Federal Reserve
Board to use it's control over
credit and currency to bring
commodity prices back to the
1926 level, was started today at
hearings before the Bank and
Currency Committee.
Representative T. A. Colds
borough, author of the bill,
contended that the only way to
reassure the banks was for
Congress to chart a credit pol
icy which the board must pur-
sue. Other witnesses asserted
the economic situation was
growing SO tense that there
was a rising tide of sentiment
for some sort of imitation, even
among the bankers of the
country.
Mr.. Goldsborough said he
had found none who was OPP
posed to the policy enunciated
in the bill.
"They say" he added. "that
if something is not done to
raise the commodity price level
the debtors will not be able to
pay their debts"
These bankers, Mr.. Colds
borough said, were unwilling
to testify because they felt they
were not in a strategic position
to do anything at this time
which might antagonize the
Federal Reserve Board, which
is opposed to the legislation.
Bankers were Withholding
loans, he said, because they
were not sure what the future
policy of the Federal Reserve
Banks would be or what influ-
ence might be brought to bear
on them to change their pres
ent policy of heavy open-mar-
ket purchases.
"But if you adopt legislation
which directs the board to con-
tinue it's open-market opera
tions until prices are raised to
certain level" Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough added, then that policy
must be carried out. AS soon
as the banks are treasured they
will make loans. In my judg-
ment, if this bill is written into
law the country will be on the
upswing in ninety days"

According to recent esti-
mates, t h e government Is
spending seven million dollars
more each day than it receives
In revenues.
This amounts to $4,000 a
minute. If it continues until
the end of the fiscal year, the
Federal budget will miss bal
ancing by the sum of $4,000
100000.
Nothing could better show
the nature and Importance of
the tax problem in this coun-

expenditures can result in only
two things-higher taxes and

failure of American credit.
