Four Notwithstanding, Cool
idge and Hoover, Republicans, and
Roosevelt-have requested senate
ratification and four Presidents
have had the thing tossed back to
them after bitter battles. This
time, as heretofore, the senate re-
jected the proposal on the ground
that the United States was being
led into the back door of the Lea
que of Nations and all will remem-
Der how stubbornly the senate re-
sisted entry into the League of Ma
tons when Woodrow Wilson was
President. The same arguments
were used as have been used be-
fore, namely, that if the United
States adhered to the permanent
court of international justice (the
formal title of the court) the coun-
try would be catapulted into the
midst of all of Europe's entangle-
ments, jealousies and diplomatic
chicanery.
Eastman's Plan
Joseph B. Eastman, federal CO.
ordinator of railroads, has propos-
ed to congress a new plan for con-
troll of the whole structure of
transportation in this country.
With the approval of the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Eastman has offered bills
for federal regulation of motor
BUSES and trucks, for the reorgan-
ization of the Interstate Commerce
commission and establishment of a
federal coordinator Of transporta-
tion as a permanent office, COM
pensation for dismissed railroad
employees displaced through CO.
ordination of operation, q revision
of the bankruptcy act relating to
railroads, provision for the COM
mission to prescribe minimum as
well as maximum joint rail and
water rates, provision for elimina-
ton of alleged benefits or preju-
dice as to ports and gateways and
to limit the right to reparation for
damage due to violations Of the in
terstate commerce laws.
The co-ordinator's proposals re-
suited from a comprehensive study
Of the general problems relating to
transportation. It was probably
the most extensive report on these
questions that congress ever has
received. Certainly, there can be
no lack of information available
for use by congress if it deter
mines to enact railroad legislation
at this session. Whether such leg
islation will get through is yet
problematical.

New Social Legislation Reviewed-Late General AS

In spite of the fact that the Con-

be properly grouped in the social
welfare column, the July number
of Connecticut Social Trends, issued
by the Research Division of the

this social legislation occupies the
greater portion of the present issue.

An increase in the capital stock
tax also was reported being con-
sidered. Doubling Of the present
rate, along with corporation divi-
dent levies would work out to pre-
vent evasion of an excess profits

said.
The bill is expected to carry
rates which would raise 100000

Bitter Fight Expected
A bitter committee fight was in
prospect before the bill is reported
out. Republicans are strenuously
opposed, and have. the support of
several democrats, to any kind of
graduated corporation tax.
There is rift, also. over whether
blood kin should receive a larger

There will be no decision in the
Ralph Devino-Domenic Mastrian-
ma federal cases for at least several
days, U. S. Commissioner Harry
Krasow told the Democrat today.
Hearing of charges of operating an
Illicit still at 400 South Leonard
street was ended last Monday, with
the government pressing its claim
that Devino and Mastrianna were
the operators of the 1,500-gallon
plant which was seized in a raid
May 8.
Commissioners Krasow, who re-
served decision at the completion
of the hearing, has not yet received
transcript of the testimony taken
in the hearing. He expects to re-
ceive the transcript within a day or
two for study, after which he will
announce his decision. The COM
missioner can either free the two
accused or order them held for
trial in the U. S. district court.
With the transcript not yet in the
commissioners hands, there will
hardly be a verdict before Friday
or Saturday. Devino and Mastri-
anna are now free on bonds of
$4,000 each.
The two local men were arrested
after a month of investigation by
federal men. Mastrianna was ar
rested by Asst. u. S. Marshal JOS

dered himself when he learned
that q warrant had been issued for
his arrest.

BITTER FIGHT ON
TAX THE RICH
PROGRAM SURE
President Has Vetoed Plan
to Avoid Contest With
Big Business
nv EDWARD W. LEWIS

Copyright, 1885 by United Press)
Washington, July 22-(UP)-
President Roosevelt has vetoed q
plan to avoid bitter fight with big
business organizations over his
tax-the-rich program. The house
ways and means committee, in
formed that the president wants
increased taxes on big corporations
today began a final draft of the
measure.
The president had received con-
gressional suggestions that the in
creased corporation tax feature
be eliminated from the program.
Charges by organized business that
a graduated corporation income
tax would be a levy against eff
cheney in industry had resulted in
a tacit agreement by committee
democrats to abandon such a tax
in favor of an excess profits levy.
Two Plans for Taxing
AS a result of Mr.. Roosevelts
request, it appeared that both a
graduated corporation tax and an
excess profits levy would be in

mittee hopes to have ready for
house action next week.
1t was understood the admins
tration was agreeable to lessening
the spread of the corporation levy.
Instead of running the tax from
IL per cent on corporations of net
income of only 100000 to TN
on corporations with net income
over $20,O00,000, the probability is
that the principle will be retained
but the spread held down to two
or three per cent. For example,
small corporations might pay IL
per cent instead of the fiat 1SA
as at present, while large corpora
tions might pay Is per cent.
Program OF Taxation
Indications pointed today to a
tax the rich bill which would:
1. Tax inharitances on a grad
~uated scale starting at $4,000.
2. Increase income taxes on in
dividuals with net income of $780,
600 or more.
3. Graduate corporation levies.
and place an excess profits tax af-
fecting all profits over 10 per cent.

 The numbers selected for the combined audience and chorus are America" "Old Folks at Home" !" and "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" the rendition of one verse of which will bring the concert to a close. Walter Damrosch has only recently brought. out remarkable composition for symphony orches- tras, based on this old hymn. At the close of it, he arranged to in- troduce large choruses with or- chestral accompaniment, and this number is to be used.
 The concert will bring together seventy-two singing societies with a total membership of 3,40o. James S.
