FLAG SALUTE RULING DUE

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, June
8.-Final settlement Of the ques-
ton of the States authority to
force a flag salute and pledge OF
allegiance to the Constitution on
elementary and high school stu
dents of Maryland is expected to-
morrow when the Prince Georges
county school board meets here.
The question was brought up
last month when William T. Jobe,
principal of the Oxon Hill Con-
solidated School, notified Superin-
tendent of Schools Nicholas Orem
that four of his pupils, children
of Augustus A. Ludke, a postal en-
ploye of Oxon Hill, had consist
emily refused to participate in the
daily patriotic exercises Of the
school.
He said that they had refused
to salute the flag because Of their
religious beliefs. They are mem
berS of a religious cult known as
"Jehovah's Witnesses"
The announcement of the chill
dren's refusal brought. an immedi-
ate protest from members of the
Upper Marlboro American Legion
Post. The post recommended that
the board enforce the law which
demands that schools provide
patriotic services for school chill

REGULATION OF
NATURAL GAS
INDUSTRY URGED
Federal Trade Commission
to Submit Report to
Senate.
Ru Tuffcd pyces

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10,-Recom-
mendations by the Federal Trade
Commission for regulation of the
natural gas industry were to be sub
mitted to the Senate today. The
commission has sent 575-page re-
port on the economic phases OF the
industry to Congress-.
The commission suggested that the
octopus" holding company and the
man in the street" who holds a
single share of stock in public
utility company should be paid at
the same rate.
1t was found that IS holding COM
pany groups engaged in interstate
commerce in 1884 controlled q per
cent of the country'S natural gas
production.
Panhandle Line Cited
Elimination of threatened compe-
tition by the closing of markets to
competitors was cited as an evil. In
this respect, the commission par
ticularly mentioned the Panhandle
Eastern Pipe Line, which passes
within 10 miles of st. Louis and has
no branch line into the large market
of that city which is supplied by a
Standard Oil subsidiary.
1t was noted that the financial
growth of the industry during the
last 10 years almost equalled that of
the preceding century. More than
$600,0000O0, or As per cent of the
total assets of 81 1867 ,539,151 of the
Sc operating companies examined,
was made up of investments of the
last decade, according to the report.
Writing up of capital assets occu-
pied a prominent place in the
analysis. 1t was said that capital
assets of all the companies exam
ined were written up in value over
cost by $287, 100000.
Price Manipulation Charged
Of this amount, $100,917,000 was
included in the 10 holding companies
studied and $186, 10000 in the oper-
ating concerns. These amounts re-
present 1872 per cent of the capital
assets of the holding companies and
1876 per cent of those of the oper-
ating companies,
The report said securities of OPP
Grating companies were not gener-
ally sold to the investing public.
In the exceptional cases when the
people were allowed to invest, it was
stated that considerable manipula-
ton of the market price of the Sc
curities occurred.
The chief companies charged with
manipulation were Mississippi River
Fuel Corp, Arkansas Natural Gas
Corp, Southern Natural Gas Corp,
American Natural Gas Corp, Okla
homa Natural Gas Corp, and Mis-
souri-KansaS Pipe Line Co.

Privately financed contracts

present one is working out
Let us look the question of
receipts. The budget can merely
estimate what they may be. The
President last year estimated that
they would be 1891 100000 He
estimated that general expenditures
as distinguished from emergency
outlays-would be $4,398, 402 900.
4 S a matter of fact we have now
"a operated six months under
that budget-July to December. On
the basis of a half year, the Presi-
dents estimate would be 1885,
100000 for the half year. The actu-
al receipts have not been very far
from that-just about $100,000,000
less. This whole loss is accounted
for by the loss of the processing
taxes which have been held up by
the AAA suits.
Expenditures have been close to
the estimates in the general table,
not more than $100,000,000 cut,
which is not much when we are
dealing with such huge totals.
In the matter of relief, however,
it is impossible to make COMPARE
sons. The bookkeeping here is so
confused that it is almost impossi-
BILE to follow The President got
$4,000, 100000 for all sorts of recov-
cry expenditures. While no alloca-
tons were made by Congress, the
President outlined what he thought
should be done with the money.
He estimated for the relief of I'M
employment $3,9O0,000,00 The ex-
penditures for six months on that
basis would be 81 $50 100000. AS a
matter of fact he has spent to date
much less than that-$1, 108, 100000.
TINE balance remains in his con-
l. troll to be spent, so that he has
from that original $3,900,000,0 900 to
spend in the next six months about
$4,000, 100000. 1t is this which is
causing his bitter Republican critics
to charge that he proposes to cut
loose with this money if the cam
paign requires it to bolster pros
perity.
A good example of the discrep-
ancy between budget and state
ment of actual receipts and ex-
penditures will be seen in the public
works account. The President asked
Congress for about $144, 900 for
public works for the entire year
But in the half year alone he has
spent $640000,000.
This would include funds allo-
Gated last year and perhaps large
amount of money shifted from the
relief account to the public works
account for the WPA. But is not
WPA money being spent for the
relief of unemployment? However,
it does not appear in that column.
There is an enormous sum-
$6,615,000, 900 exclusive of what
he asks for now)-of the various
emergency funds voted the Presi-
dent still unspent. Congress, of
course, may cancel its permit to
spend that money. That question
will probably arise to plague the
President.

BONUS PAYMENT
QUESTION VEXES
/. FISCAL LEADERS
Borrowing of Billion to Pay
Cash Settlement Worries
Experts.
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY
United Press staff Correspondent
Copyright. 1896. by United Pressl


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Gov-
eminent fiscal leaders studied the
possibility today of borrowing more
than billion dollars to pay the
cash soldiers bonus should it be
enacted into law.
The bonus bill now being con-
sidered would call for an immediate
drain of slightly more than a bill
lion dollars in cash from the Treas
ury. To raise this sum, it probably
would offer a billion dollars in new
securities at an interest rate of 3
per cent or less.
The borrowing would call for an
additional tax burden of $30,O00O00
annually in interest. President
Roosevelt in his budget for the 1897
fiscal year beginning next July
allowed $805 100000 for interest pay
ments on the public debt, 500, 000, 900
more than was calculated for this
fiscal year.
Bonus, AAA Chief Problems
If the Treasury borrows billion
dollars for the bonus payment, the
public debt will be raised to another
all-time record high of $31 ,546, 0OO,-
600, substantially above a peak of
$31,341, 638.737 estimated only last
Monday for the new 1887 fiscal year.
Invalidation of the AAA earlier
this week knocked out further proc
essing taxes, reduced the govern
ment's revenues and may leave the
government obligated to make crop
reduction payments already con-
tracted for This would put another
unexpected $3O0,Oo0,OOO burden on
the 1887 budget.
The bonus and the AAA, there
fore, appear at present to put a
prospective $1,300,O00, to $780,
100000 additional cash burden on
the Federal government not con-
templated in President Roosevelt
budget made public Monday.

The greatest year in the history
of the cigaret industry has just
been completed-that is, from the
standpoint of production. Estimates
for December production place the
1885 cigaret output at about 1873 bill
lion cigarets.
An interesting sidelight: Approx
mately $475.000,000 of the money
paid for cigarets and tobacco prod
ucts last year went to the United
States government as taxes. This
makes cigaret consumption much
more profitable for the Federal gov
eminent than for the companies
producing the cigarets.
