THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
TWO-CENT MILE
FOR RAILROADS
HELD FAIR RATE
Present Charge Is Termed
Unreasonable by |. C. C.
Examiner.
Bu Tuifcd pfceR

By LHtCd Press
WASHINGTON, July 16.-Possi-
bility that American railroads might
be forced to reduce their passenger
rates to cents a mile was seen to-
day in a proposed report to the In
tertsate Commerce Commission.
Irving L. Koch, examiner for the
commission, reported that the pres
ent regular basic passenger fare
structure of SO cents per mile, is
unreasonable.
He recommended that the COM
mission establish 2-cents-per-pas-
senger-mile fares in coaches and 3
cents per passenger mile in Pull
mans. Mr. Koch also held:
That experimental fares in the
Southern and Western districts
seeking added passengers at low
fares, are reasonable and lawful.
That Pullman surcharges, made
by the railroads for passengers who
ride in sleeping cars, are unreason-
able and should be eliminated.
That extra fares as now charged
for extraordinary service are law
full.
Although the present basic fare
is 36 cents a mile, numerous rail-
roads in the South and West have
lowered it draStiCally.
The commission has set Oct. 3

On the other hand, Judge Wilson,

ST. Thomas is up 10 arms against the
tax bill introduced in the United States
Congress for the purpose of raising more
revenues 10 the Virgin Islands. The press
agrees that there may be an adjustment
of taxes on land but that houses I'M the
city are already heavily taxed.
It is generally admitted that land OF
equal al able value should pay the same
tax regardless of what the land is used
fer.
The present system of taxation needs

changed. Twenty years ago when there
was no outside market for cattle and
when the labor wages were low and there
was large supply of labor nobody
would think of using the best arabic land
fer grazing purposes. The reason is OBJ.
vious. The market for cattle was Ii nited
to few local butchers. with the excep
tiou of the sale of few steers which the
sugar concerns woulj purchase for haul
ing their pIows. This caused cattle rails
ing to be hand to mouth business.
With an adequate labor supply a low
wage rate aud the New York market

produce it was Datural that the emphasis
would be placed uDop sugar production
There was then as there is now, the IN
certainty Of weather conditions. but the

of the Danes could always depend upon

were asked to offer special prayers for

Two Year Notification Takes Judicial Effect
 Yesterday Noon

GENEVA, Oct. 22 Germany strode formally out of the League of Nations yesterday.
 Two years ago, Dr. w. Krauel, German Consul, walked across the street from his office to the Leagues 5ecretariat and gave two year pre- 'iminary notice of his nations resig- nation from the League which took juridicial effect at noon yesterday.
 Dr. Krauel packed up to go to Ber- lin for discussion of new relations between the League and the Reich regarding the war.
 Well-informed German source s said the Reich is expected to main tain neutral policy, much like that of the United States, that would take no political, financial or eco homie advantage of the Italo-E -Ethi- opian war.
 IL is anticipated Germany will CO., operate with the League of Nations wherever possible.

LACK OF FUNDS DELAYING NEW
 MAIL CONTRACT
Dim ond Says Northland Company Turned Down
 P. o. Dept. Offer

Indication that the Post Office De- partment and the Northland Trans portation Company are still far from agreement on a possible mail con- tract to Southeast Alaska was re- vealed here today in a message to the Territorial Chamber of Com merce from Alaska Delegate An thony J. Dimond, in response to a plea from the Chamber for early action.
 In the message received by the Secretary's office of the Territorial ,lamber, Delegate Dimond said:
 T have presented the matter of the proposed Northland mail con- tract to the Post Office Department on several occasions and again today. The reply is that no funds are avail able for increase in carriage of AL aska mail, such as would be neces- sary if the proposed contract was awarded The department further says an offer was made to the North land company to cover carriage of first class mail every trip but that the company refused to take the contract. and the company also re- fused to carry all classes of mail on four trips so that the department could ascertain the probable cost of such contract, and thus be able to give definite figures to Congress for appropriations for the coming fiscal year"
 No replies have been received yet to similar appeals made by the Ter ritorial Chamber to the Post Office Department and the Northland Com pany, but the Chamber Board of Managers are expected to authorize the Secretary's office here to con- tinue pushing the matter in the hope that something can be worked out to improve the present mail service.
 The Chamber pointed out in it's message sent last week that with only two vessels on the Alaska Line and the Canadian ships carrying mail, Southeast Alaska cities are badly crippled for mail service, actually receiving mail only about once week.

Spending Is sSeen as Big
 Issue in Politics m '35
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

The financial policies Of the Roc5e- velt Administration, it's vast spend- ing operations and its unbalanced Budgets, are becoming the center of political attention claimed today by few other issues.
 The trend gives increasing weight to the predictions of many politi- clans that, in the end, the dollars and-cents aspects of the situation in Washington will influence far more votes in 1886 than all of the talk about economic theory and the con- stitution.
 When the ordinary voter grapples with the constitutional issue, or tries to dissect and examine the new economy" or the more abundant life" he usually fetches up at last in fog of argument and bewilder- ing contradiction.
 With money matters it is different. Many obscurities finger in the gov- ernment's financial statements, but by and large anyone who can add and subtract is able to see whether the income is balancing or failing to balance the outgo. and draw his own conclusions.
 Possibly it was in recognition of this fact, that, within single week, MT. Roosevelt issued his prediction that no heavier taxes would be ne- cessary to liquidate the depression debts, and MT. Hoover selected this same theme as the subject of speech regarded everywhere as the most inn portant he has delivered since he left the White House.
 The Figures The latest official figures forecast the following situation as of June 30, next:
 Receipts for the preceding year, s4. .470 ,0OO, 900. Expenditures for the same period. s7,752, 900 .000 Yearly de- ficit, $3,282 O0.000 Total national debt $50, ,723, ,O00, 900.
 These are the basic figures from which all calculations must start. They mean that since 1926 (often referred to by economists as nor mal" year). the government will have gone more than s11 ,000, 100000 deep CT into debt.
 Presumably this debt will be still further increased before the depres- sion endA Presumably also the pres ent tax rates. which MT. Roosevelt says are sufficient, will yield con- siderably more in year of full pros perity than the s4.470, 100000 esti- mated for the current year, Presum- ably, likewise. interest rates will ga up with prosperity, so that the car rying charge on the debt will be ap- (Contirued on Page Three)
