sarbucken, saar Basin. Nov a.
(UP)-Nazi activities threatening
grave trouble between France and
Germany brought q series OF stern
repressive DEGREES today from the
league of nations commission gov.
erriing this internationalized terri
tory.
German demands for immediate
return of the territory to the Ger
man flag have so infamed the
population that French authorities
feared an outbreak--and the rest
OF Europe has feared that, II there
were an outbreak, France would
send troops into the territory.
Anxious lest inaction lead to q
French @ erman crisis, the league
governing commission decreed:
Prison terms and hnes for
carrying arms are Increased.
2--The commission will control
display OF flags.
S-Civil servants must observe
strictest neutrality under pain of
prison sentences.
1.-THE commission will control
solicitation OF funds for political
groups.
5-Exposure OF government
secrets or terrorist activities de-
signed to control the 1895 pleb-
iscite vote will be punished by
prison sentences at hard labor.
6-Police and gendarmes who
refuse to enforce the above de-
crees will be punished by imprison-
ment for from two to five years at
hard labor.
DEGREES Aimed at Nazis
The DEGREES were aimed directly
at curtailing Nazi activities and
preventing an armed outbreak.
Nazi speakers have exhorted the
population to revolt, and even chill
dren give the Nazi salute.

Of taxation"
Graves suggested elimination Of
state exciseh to reduce the cost to
the consumer. In their place he
advocated "a federal tax Of mod.
crate proportions"
State excuses, the commissioners
continued, would incite tax evas-
ions by prompting consumers to
purchase directly from distillers of
other states. He explained state
excuses could not be levied on ar
ticles sold in interstate commerce.
Graves declared valid an esti-
mate that the federal government
would derive $500, 200 annually
from liquor and wine taxes.
New York's share of rs per
cent, based on population, would
be $12,500,000, provided the state
abolished its excise. The percent
age cited by Graves was a random
figure, he admitted. He said he
believed state should share between
rs and 33 per cent. States barring
the sale Of liquor, he added, should
not share in the federal tax.
Boston Tavern Plan
Boston, November Q - (UP) -
The proposal to license "Taverns,'
where liquor may be bought by the
glass without the necessity Of also
purchasing food, Is expected to
precipitate long and bitter debate
when the legislature convenes In
special session Wednesday to enact
a hard liquor control law for Mas
sachusetts.
Provision for such taverns was
the big controversial point in the
bill the special hard liquor COM
mission reported yesterday, after
which Governor Ely set November
for converting of the special ses-
sion which is expected to give the
state control law before prohibit
ton repeal becomes effective.

The Nazi situation has been q
source of international worry for
many months. 1t was made acute
when Germany withdrew from the
league Of nations. The withdrawal
freed Germany's hands so far as
cooperating in league control of
the Saar was concerned. In his
speech explaining the withdrawal
Chancellor Adolf Hitler said
bluntly:
"After the return of the Saar to
the reich Germany will have no
reason for war against France"
There Is sober doubt whether the

Tax Commissions
Findings Awaited
By Maine Citizens
Body Is Expected to Make
Study and Report in
February.
Dispatch to The Star.


AUGUSTA, Me, December 30.-With
the special session of the Legislature
out of the way, Maine is starting guess
ing what results will be achieved by
the tax revision commission authorized
by the law makers. This commission
is expected to make a study of the
States taxation system, which all who
have to do with it declare is archaic:
decide upon something better and re.
port to the Governor and Executive
Council in February. After that an
other special session is predicted to
deal with the report.
The history of special commissions in
this State isn't such as to encourage
expectations of great change from this
one. They have all done their work,
made their reports and suggested legis-
lation which was expected to give i'm
provement. The Legislature has re-
ceived the report, scanned the sugges-
tions and then consigned the whole
thing to the junk pile. 1t may not do
so with tnis one, but that is the way
1t has been in the past.
If all this commission had to do was
to set up new way of assessing and
collecting taxes it wouldn't be so tough
job. The real tough task is to work
out a method of distributing the tax
money after it has been collected.
Under the present method all but about
mill Of the present State tax Is mort
gagged before 1t Is assessed.

BOULDER DAMS
COMPLETIONBY
1887 FORECAST
Plant Is Expected
to Make Power
II. by 1885.
BY r. w. B. ANDERSON.


PHOENIX, Ariz., December 3d.
Boulder Dam, greatest structure Of its
kind ever attempted by man. will be
K. Young, chief engineer In charge for
the United States Bureau Of Reclama-
ton, predicted today.
Power will be generated in the giant
hydro-electric plant, largest in the Ma
ton, as early as September, 1895, Mr..
Young forecast.
These accomplishments loom as Ger
tainties because the Six Companies, Inc,
dam contractors, are now Is months
ahead Of schedule. Their contract calls
for completion of the dam in April,
1898.
All major hazards are believed to
have been overcome and none can be
foreseen which may hamper completion
of the vast structure by the new date
set by Frank Grove, general manager OF
the Six Companies.
The four great tunnels. two in Ne
vada and two in Arizona, will permit the
pass safely to the lower reaches of the
stream. This will be the last food on
the Colorado to escape impounding
The river, normally low at this time of
the year, is surging toward the Gulf
Of California through No. / tunnel on
the Nevada side OF the stream. The
other tunnels are dry.
Three thousand eight hundred men
are employed in construction work at
the dam in three 8-hour shifts.
An average of 6,6l3 cubic yards Of
concrete is being poured daily as the
massive structure rises rapidly between
the walls of the towering pillars Of
rock on each side Of Black Canyon.
On one day. according to Engineer
Young, slightly more than 5000 yards
were poured. That was the record. The
greatest amount poured for q month
was in October, when 2O5,ooo cubic
yards were added
The The hishest point on the dam today
Is 228 feet above the stream bed. The
structure, when completed, will be 752
feet high.
To date 908. 800 cubic yards of con-
crete have been poured, as compared
to $4,000 cubic yards in the Elephant
Butte Dam In New Mexico which i'm
pounds the largest artificial body Of
water on the continent
An interesting comparison of the
amount of concrete required to con-
struct the dam is that the total, $780,
900 cubic yards of concrete. is identical
to the amount of material in the largest
of the Egyptian pyramids. But, in ad-
dition, more than 1000, 900 cubic yards
of concrete will be required for spill
ways and extra construction work in
and around Boulder Dam.
The partially constructed dam is al
ready mecca for tourists. Up to this
week, more than 800, 900 persons have
visited the site during the year More
than 5000 saw the construction crews
in action over the Thanksgiving holi-
days and an equal number at Christmas.
