Now Is Willing to Give
Something Tangible in
Return for Revision.
VICTORY FOR ROOSEVELT
Announcement of Shift in
Stand Is Made by
Macdonald.
BY w. G. QUISENBERRY
United Press stan CORES pendent

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Great
Britain made it plain today
for the first time since the
war debts crisis arose that
she is now ready to give the
United States something tan
gible in return for revision.
The announcement of Premier j.
Ramsay Macdonald in the house of
commons that the government has
agreed to discuss economic problems
at Washington was regarded as an
abOut-face since Neville Chamber
lain, chancellor of the eXcheuuer,
declared in speech less than two
weeks ago that there will be no
swapping deal"
Victory for Roosevelt
The change in the governments
attitude represents a signal victory
for Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first
approach to probably the most press
ing foreign problems he will be
called on to meet when he enters the
White House.
However, the actual credit for
bringing Britain and the United
States to a commonly-acceptable
basis of settlement belongs to Sir
Ronald Lindsay, British ambassador
to Washington, who conferred with
Mr.. Roosevelt before coming here
for debt discussions with his gov
eminent.
In numerous conferences since
his return, he did his utmost to
show the cabinet realistically the
strong feeling in congress and public
opinion in the United States against
reducing war debts without receiv-
ing something in compensation.
Promote Trade Revival
1.-The object would be to promote
a revival of world trade and pros
perity," Macdonald told the house
OF commons while the settlement of
war debts is an essential condition
to such revival, the government al
ways has recognized that there are
number of factors, financial and
economic, which also must be dealt
with, and would be very glad to cx-
change views with the United States
government over the whole field.
THE purpose Of the delegation"
Macdonald continued, will be to
get in close personal touch with the
United States government so they
can go on harmoniously facing the
big problems that would have to
be faced by both"
He said he wanted an agreement
with the United States which would
enable Britain to pursue a definite
European policy.

The kidnapers struck in the
highest strata of Denver bust
ness and society in picking
young Boettcher as their
prey. He probably was the
wealthiest young man in the
city.
His father and grandfather be-
fore him amassed one of the larg-
est fortunes in Colorado The rise
of the family has paralleled the in
duStrial rise Of the state.
Pursuit was prompt for Mrs.
Boettcher summoned police imme-
diately. But, despite the police, with
their advantages of larger numbers
and radio the criminals apparently
made good their escape with their
victim.
Gets Glimpse of Abduct0r
The abductors either possessed
authentic information as to Boett-
cher's movements or we're inordi-
nately lucky. For he had returned
from Kansas City by airplane only
a few hours before. He had been
visiting his mother, Mrs. Millison
Mccormick.
Mrs. Boettcher obtained a brief
glimpse of one of the kidnapers as
he stepped into the light from the
shadows gun in hand.
He was an American, smooth
shaven and stout She guessed ne
was about AZ years old, 5 feet 7
inches tall and weighed perhaps
100 pounds He wore a Sand-colored
tweed overcoat and a cap. Mrs.
Boettcher did not see his confed-
crate, but noted that their car was
without license plates.
No Trace of Kidnapers
The police radio cracked instruc-
lions to patrol cars within ten min
utes after the abduction, but all
trace of the sedan and its occu-
pants had vanished by the time they
arrived.
Special officer Ed Stephens, night
Waterman of the palatial BOettcher
home, and five others in the fash
ionable Seventh avenue neighbor-
hood, was on his beat a block away
at the time of the kidnapping.
He did not see the kidnaperS ar
rive or depart. Apparently no one
except Mrs. Boettcher saw them.
Although all the neighbors were
aroused by the arrival Of scores of
official cars, none reported seeing
or hearing the kidnaperS.
The wife of the kidnapped man
today offered to pay the $4,000
ransom demanded for his release
Nothing else matters, said Mrs
Boettcher. III pay it all. I just
want him safe
Airplanes were offered for the
search by Major Carlos S. Reavi;
of the Colorado national guard II
was indicated planes would take of
shortly to observe possible hideoutS
in the mountains.

Unlted PreSS SldH
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Bernard
M. Baruch, capitalist and advisor to
President Elect Franklin D. Roose-
welt, today outlined before a senate
committee a program for taxation
and other emergency projects which
he said was necessary to avoid eco
nomic disaster.
Baruch appeared before the sem
ate finance commission which is
holding a clinic of best minds" on
domestic and world problems. The
scene was like a movie set with
Kleig lights glaring and Baruch's
words being absorbed by the talkies
for reproduction throughout the
United States.
In staccato, clipped sentences,
Baruch read his prescription for
world ills:
Balance budgets. Stop spending
money we haven't got. Sacrifice for
frugality and revenue. Cut gov
ernmental spending-cut it as ra-
tions are cut in a siege.
Lax 1Or EVeTJtHlng
"TaX-Tax everybody for every
thing. But take the hungry men
off the worlds pavements and let
people smile again.
He opposed all forms of inf1a-
ton, insisted that a balanced budget
and sound money were the avenues
to salvation for the United States.
He opposed cancellation of war
debts, but condemned the Versailles
treaty in bitter language indicating
his belief that it should be revised.
For the United States recon-
mended farm relief in two direc-
tions-Scaling down Of farm debts
and curtailed production. He would
have the government rent from the
farmers the land taken out of pro-
duction to reduce commodity sur
pluses.
Urges Immediate Repeal
Beer should be legalized and
taxed, Baruch continued, and the
eighteenth amendment should be
repealed Immediately mot alone for
relief of its abuses but for the pur-
pose of obtaining taxation which
can be substituted for more onerous
levies."
Baruch's farm plan was as fol-
lows:
Authorize farm mortgage cor
poration to issue 8 per cent tx
exempt 30-year bonds would be ex-
changed for existing mortgages or
for title to foreclosed farms, but not
to exceed so per cent of the par
value of the previous indebtedness
The mortgages thus taken over
would be revised on the basis of 81
per cent interest with the objective
of reducing the principal by so per
cent and the interest rate by about
Sc 2-3 per cent.

TAX GROUPS To
BRING PRESSURE
ON LEGISLATURE
Experts Declare Gasoline
Fund Is City's Worst
Budget Offender
BY AL LYNCH
lines stan Writer

With the Implications Of salaries
said to be contained in the 1888 city
budget which were the result of leg
islative action, civic organizations
and tax reform groups Of the city
have vowed additional interest" in
proposed laws and amendments TO
present bills that will be thrown
into the next legislative assembly.
Made a political football" for
many legislative sessions, the gaso-
line tax fund, derived from special
state automobile license and the 4
cents a gallon tax on gasoline, is
the worst offender. it is said.
Upon discovery Of the alleged du-
plication it was found that practi-
cally every Office position Of the
city engineers Office and some OF
those in the street commissioner
Office have two separate salary
checks each month.
In a breakdown of the gasoline
fund and its budget, the duplication
of salaries is revealed by tax experts.
Payment of this duplication OF sal
aries in the Office instead Of for la
Dor. increases the tax bill of the city
many thousands of dollars, it is
said. 1t is pointed out by tax ex-
perts that special street bonds fol-
low such practice, but a check re-
veals that no special street bonds
have been requested by this admin
istration.
Tax experts realize that under the
present city budget, a saving of one
half the salaries was made by taking
the other half of the salaries from
the gas fund. However, it is said to
be the contention that the salaries
are twice what they should be for
work accomplished under these eco
nonic conditions.
Straight salaries, as set out in
the city budget for the engineers
department, include:
