TAX PROGRAM PLANNED

Special Dispatch d T..c C.a-.
BALTIMORE, February A-The Real
Estate Board of Baltimore is preparing
a tax revision program which favors
abolition CT the State levy on real
estate, according to Charles H. Steftey,
chairman of the organizations Com
mittee on legislation
Mr.. Steffey said the plan. to be sub
mitted at this session of the General
Assembly, would grant property owners
the right of a court appeal on tax
assessments. 1t also would open the
way to limit direct real estate levies
by tax officials
Real estate. Mr.. Steffey pointed out,
IS the principal source of revenue for
the support of local government. Other
States, he said, have abolished the
direct tax and have drawn revenue
easily from other sources He added:
"A uniform State levy on all real
estate is now and always has been
gross injustice to taxpayers in sections
where assessments are 100 per cent
and more of the fair market value of
the property"

LEAD PROSPECTIVE
HOME PURCHASERS
Families Now Renting Houses
Considered Best Hope for
Sales.

Families now renting houses consti-
tute the best prospects for residential
sales this year, according to the United
States Building and Loan League,
which this week reported some findings
Of its Home Building and Home Own
ing Committee.
There are approximately 100000
one-family houses in the United States
now occupied by renters, the committee
states.
Prefer Houses.
Families renting such houses are not
among the groups which simply prefer
apartment life and for that reason do
not buy homes Of their own, the COM
mittee declares as one Of the reasons
for its conclusion. They, rather. are
renting because Of economic factors and
present bargain prices in homes are
beginning to make the renters consider
home purchases. it is contended.
Another argument Is that landlords
OF the one-family houses will be much
more inclined to sell such property now
than during the past several years, since
the landlord class has been harder hit
by the depression proportionately than
the class to which it rents, In the opin-
ion Of league officials.
A third point in support Of the con-
clusion is that increased funds for the
purchase of homes Is becoming avail
able through the operation Of the Fed
eral Home Loan Banks.
Suggest Purchases.
'There is actually a movement on
foot in some places for the renters to
suggest such purchases to the land
lords" says the League Committee
MANY of them already have s,Ibstan.

NEW YORK, March 20 Q.N.S0
The cotton ring displayed a firm
undertone today, with the run of
contracts above previous closing
levels.
There was scattered selling by
the South and Liverpool. Spot

Wall Street and wire houses
nquidated May.

CANADA RETAIL
TRADE BETTER

With the exception Of a few
sections, where there were un.
expected snowfallS. movement of
spring merchandise gained con.
siderable momentum in retail
channels last week.
Demand was pronounced for
millinery, hosiery. gloves, and
footwear, and more interest was
noted for dry goods offerings.
Groceries continued to move in
fair quantities, and in the provi-
sion market butter was in good
demand, with an upward tend
ency in quotations.
Business in the prairie prov
inces, both city and country, con-
tinues to show a slight improve
ment, which is credited, in part,
to prevailing mild weather and
in part to slightly higher wheat
prices, according to dispatches to
the Dun & Bradstreet Weekly
Review.
Canadian banks are in an ex.
ceptionally liquid position, and
business and financial leaders
point out that far from injuring
Canadian business, the crisis in
the United States was to be wei
coined as necessitating definite
steps toward the restoration of
confidence, although confusion
was caused temporarily by the alb.
sence of foreign exchange trading.

us. WEAL7HPUT
At 1916 LEVEL .

Estimating that the dollar value
Of the national wealth at the end
Of 1882 amounted to $239, 800, ,000,-
900, the Alexander Hamilton In.
stitute, in its current bulletin, con.
cludeS that our national wealth Is
now at its lowest figure since 1915.
The institute makes the following
analysis:
The last official report issued
by the Government on the ma.
tional wealth was for 1922. The
national wealth at the end Of that
year amounted to 1920. 800, ,000, 900.
This compares with $186,300, ,000,.
900 in 1912, the most recent report
prior to 1922.
The increase during that 10
year period was due partly to an
increase in real wealth, but chiefly
to a rise in the price level. The
figures corrected for the change in
the price level show that real
wealth increased 1877 per cent, as
compared with a gain Of 1872 per
cent in the dollar value of wealth.

HULL FOR SPEED
At LONDON
By GEORGE r. HOLMES
ABOARD S. S. PRESIDENT

ABOARD S. S. PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT, AT SEA, June 3
GNSO.-America's policy at the
World Economic Conference will
include insistence upon speed in
determination of all subjects on
the agenda, International News
Service learned today.
Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
who expects to remain in Lon
don as head of the American
delegation for only few weeks,
takes the view that the prellm1-
nary international conversations
in Washington have cleared away
all diplomatic "underbrush" from
the path of the conference.
The American delegates and
experts are to hold another con-
ference today aimed at exped1tlng
the methods they will pursue
upon arrival in London. They
admitted, however, the shipboard
parleys were handicapped by
absence of Senator James Couz-
ems and Gov. James M. Cox OF
Ohio, who are to reach London
later.

Heavy Selling
Sends Stocks
TumbHng

NEW YORK, June 3 QN.S0
The heaviest selling since the in
flation boom started two months
ago broke over the stock market
today and sent the list tumbling
l to more than 3 points in enor-
nous dealings.
The ticker fell 19 minutes be-
hind as huge selling orders came
steadily into the list through the
session. Support was thrown into
the list around the lows but failed
to bring any rally of consequence
The reaction was touched off
by a break in the oils and was
accentuated later by the declara-
ton of Joseph B. Eastman, slated
to become rail coordinator, that
freight rates were too high.
This overcame the bulliSh stimu-
lus of a further jump in car
loadings and sent the rails tumbl-
ing with the rest.
Weakness in commodities, wheat
losing a cent bushel and cot
ton 81 bale, added to the un.
settlement. A fresh bearish in
fluence was added toward the
close in the news that the Rock
Island was turned down for a
loan by the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation.
Weakness persisted to the end.
Turnover ran around 100000
shares, one of the biggest Satur-
days on record.

NARCOTIC KILLS
KINGS COUSIN

NICE, France. June 3 G.N.SD .
An overdose of morphine was held
responsible today for the death
of Prince Nicholas Karageorge-
witch, cousin of the King of Jugo-
Slavia.
The prince was found dead in
his hotel after a taxicab driver
reported he had acted peculiarly
when he drove him to a drug
store a short time previously.
Well known as an artist and a
former Russian imperial army
officer, the prince was married
in 1927 to Mrs. Dorothy Snyder
Cochran, wealthy New York girl.
Two years later he figured in
a gruesome incident. He col
lapsed in a taXicab in Paris and
after a cursory examination by
police was pronounced dead. He
was taken to the morgue, stripped
of his clothing, and laid out on
a marble slab.
Some time later the prince
awoke from his coma. Horrified,
he bolted for the nearest door and
was out into the street before he
realized he was without clothing.

REJECTS
BUS CONTROL

BY a vote Of 79 to 30, the
House today rejected an amend
ment to place railroad sub
salaries, including bus lines and
express companies, under the
jurisdiction of the Federal CO.
ordinator created by the bill.
Representative Kelly (RO Of
Pennsylvania proposed tn e
amendment, which was approved
by the Senate and rejected by
the House Interstate Commerce
Committee, declaring it necessary
to stabilize labor conditions.
Representative Rayburn (D0
of Texas told the House he eX-
pected Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Joseph B. Eastman to
be named coordinator.
Despite Republican protests,
the House approved a provision
freeing the coordinator from
civil service restrictions in
naming employees to administer
the measure.

HAWKS BREAKS
OWN RECORD

NEW YORK, June G.N.SD. .
Slicing four hours from the record
he established four years ago,
Lieut.. Comdr. Frank Hawks held
a new nonstop transcontinental
flight record today of 13 hours, 26
minutes, and Is seconds.
Using a plane with a robot"
pilot, Hawes took off from the
Los Angeles Municipal Airport
yesterday and landed at Floyd
Bennett Field at 11:19 p. m.
Hawks said he flew at an alti-
tude of $4,000 feet during most of
the trip. He encountered heavy
fog in the Cajon Pass, leaving
California, and strong headwinds
over Kansas.
The noted speed flier eclipsed
his previous record of II hours
and SO minutes, but did not break
the West-East flight mark of 10
hours and 10 minutes set by Capt.
James Haizlip last year.
Hawks, greeted by a crowd of
1000 on his arrival, said he took
over the controls after reaching
