King Leopold was plunged in genu-
inc mourning, and all the world SYM
pathized, for Albert had won high es-
TEEN by his heroism during the World
war and his Just government Of his
people.
Albert Is succeeded by Crown Prince
Leopold, duke Of Brabant, his eldest
son. Leopold is thirty-two years old
and was married In 1925 to Princess
Astrid Of Sweden. They have a daugh-
ter and a son. The new ruler was
probably one Of the youngest soldiers
in the World war, enlisting as pri-
vate when he was thirteen years old.
He was treated as an ordinary soldier,
seeing active service in the trenches,
and was sergeant when the armistice
was signed.
The dead kings funeral was OF
course stately affair. The procession
from the Brussels palace to the cathe-
dral of st. Gudule was led by mounted
gendarmes who were followed by
British, Italian and French troops.
Then came the Belgian troops with
crepe-draped flags. Albert's PERSONAL
colors were carried just ahead Of the
gun carriage that bore the casket, and
his favorite charger followed, the sad
die empty and field boots reversed In
the stirrups. Next walked Crown
Prince Leopold, his brother, Charles,
and their brother-in-law, Crown Prince
Umberto of Italy, the latter carefully
guarded by police because of the at
tempt to assassinate him in Brussels
In 1929.
In the throng of notable persons in
the professions were representatives
of all nations. Ambassador Morris
was there for the United States; Pres
ident Lebrun and Premier Doumergue
headed the large French delegation;
from England were the prince of
Wales, Field Marshal Lord Allenby
and Admiral Sir Roger Reyes; Ger
many was represented by DR.. Fried
rich Won Keller, and Poland by Ignatz
Paderewski.
NCAt udy ACOpOI0 was NAOWACu,
with Astrid on the throne beside him.
The parliamentary reply to the new
rulers speech from the throne thanked
the new queen for having given birth
to two children, insuring the perma-
nence Of the dynasty.
King Albert was the third Of his
line. He was born in 1875 and as
cended the throne in 1909. Through
out the war he was one of the most
active members Of the Belgian army,
continually at the front to help his
troops and often in imminent danger
of death. After the armistice he got
the task Of reconstruction well under
way and then, with Queen Elizabeth
and Prince Leopold, took journeys to
the United States, England, France,
Spain. Brazil and other countries to
study trade conditions and find new
outlets for Belgian products.

that this is not the time to pay the
bonus and that he cannot approve any
legislation to that effect"
But the members went right on sign
ing. Mr.. Rainey was visibly disturbed,
but said, in reply to inquiries, ''We're
going to let the house do just as it
pleases"
Wright Patman of Texas, Democrat,
author of the bill, told the house the
measure would provide the administra-
ton with the mechanism for carrying
out the inflationary program it al
ready has embraced, and that it would
save the government billions of dol
lars in interest. 1t seemed most likely
that the bill would be passed by the
house, and it may also get through the
senate, for the sentiment for 1t has
been steadily growing in that body.
NNLY seven members of the house
~ voted In the negative when the
25SO00,OO0,OOO tax revision bill came
up for passage. 1t is expected the
senate will make many alterations in
the measure for the purpose Of fur

OF principal interest to the average
taxpayer is the bills readjustment Of
the income tax rate structure to pro-
vide a new normal rate Of 4 per cent
and surtaxes starting at per cent
on net income above $4,000 and rang
ing in graduated brackets to SO per
cent on incomes of 81, 100000 or more.
The new tax rates. however. will not
be effective on 1888 incomes.
Generally the bill is designed to
prevent such tax evasion methods as
were disclosed during the recent In

currency committee into stock market
practices.
