The purpose of the proposed tax is
to force corporations TO pursue more
liberal dividend policy The idea is
that the more money the stockholders
receive in dividends. the greater will
be their purchasing power. and the
more they will spend. presumably. in
the purchase of goods and services.
Also the more money the STOCKHOLM
ers receive in dividends. the greater
will be their taxable income. To a
COVER nment seeking new sources of
revenue to enable it to spend geper-
ously this is an important considera-
ton.
The assumption is that corporations
have withheld net income from their
stockholders.
That many corporations enjoying a
net income do not distribute all of il
to their stockholders is well known
Statistics collected by the United
States Treasury show that during

BALTIMORE, November 9.-Frank
Harper. executive secretary of the
Public Service Commission, requested
the Baltimore g. Annapolis Railroad
Co. to proceed Immediately Ito per-
feet its plans for the establishment
of" bus service between Baltimore and
Annapolis.
Harpers action followed an an
nounced attempt by the Red Star
Bus Lines. Inc. to discontinue service
that company now is giving between
the two points.
Recently the commission denied au-
thority to the Red Star Line either
to carry through passengers between
Baltimore and Annapolis or to abandon
entirely its service for carrying pas
sengers between points on its route.
Under its present permit the Red
Star Line may carry passengers from
and to intermediate points between
the cities along a route on the south
shore of the Severn River. Bus OFF,
cials contended continuation of this
service, with the restriction against
carrying through passengers, was caus-
ing the company sufficient loss Of rev.
enue to render discontinuance Of the
service advisable
The Baltimore & Annapolis Rail-
road protested against the commits
sion's granting the Red Stars request
on the ground that the bus line, II
permitted to carry through passengers
between Baltimore and the State capi-
tai would be competing with the rail-
road.
The railroad operates along the
north shore of the Severn River.

YUMA. Ariz., November 9.-Gray-
ing John Barrymore flew to his
fourth marriage altar today. signed
his age as 48, although records credit
the romantic actor with SIS, and
welded 2l-year-old Elaine Barrie
of whom he once said, "A man can't
get along with a gal like that"
Sparkling-eyed and gay, the dark
haired Elaine was a contrast to the
solemn person who only last August
said in a statement, 1T would be
impossible for us to plan happy
married life together"
Exchanging light-hearted repartee,
the two climaxed a story courtship
by dashing here from Los Angeles
last night to be made man and wife
by Yuma's famous marrying justice,
Earl A. Freeman, whose Is, 900 cere-
monies have included many of film-
dom's most noted.
Keep this with you always" he
said in handing the new Mrs. Barry
more a small horseshoe after the
ceremony.
1T always will bring you good
luck"
Did you hear that, dearest?"
said the bride, who had enthusiastic
ally kissed her husband the moment
the ceremony was over
My dear" Barrymore replied gall
lantly with bow, Il don't need
that; with you I'll have nothing but
luck"
Barrymore first met Miss Barrie
while estranged from his third wife,
Dolores Costello. He was i'll In a
New York hospital. Miss Barrie
wrote a letter of sympathy. Barry
more invited her to visit him. In
! the hospital room, she spoke Of stage
ambitions.
So Barrymore tried her out In
Shakespeare, he as Caliban. she as
Ariel. They became pet names The
courtship proceeded at a fast pace
until it blew up in a quarrel at Miss
Barrie's apartment. She threw things.
Barrymore fed. He boarded q train
and Kept right on going-weSt.
Miss Barrie, remorseful, pursued
him to Chicago in a plane. She
pounded on a train compartment
without result. The chase continued
to Kansas City. There he eluded her
in a taxi transfer between trains.
Miss Barrie dashed to a radio station,
broadcast an appeal to Barrymore to
| come back and professed her undyine
love.
Have Happy Reunion.
But later there was a happy re-
union in Hollywood. Then Barrymore
went to hospital, was reported suf-
fering from a heart ailment. At
length came the statements of a def
mite rift in the romance. A month
ago Miss Costello, Barrymore's third
wife who bore him two children, OBJ
tanned her final decree of divorce.
Barrymore said he was responsible
for resumption of the romance with
Miss Barrie.
1.-TWO weeks ago I called long dis
tance across the continent and we
decided to marry" he said. I'VE set
the date then"
There was no intimation Of it, how
ever, until Miss Barrie and her par
ents arrived last evening at Los An
geles from New York by airliner, and
went to the Glendale Airport to join
Barrymore.

of the meetings, he said, would be
decided after opening at San Fran

Commission hearing, also set for to-
day.
At New York, Joseph Curran, chair
man Of the Defense Committee, said
231 ships we're idle and 1926 men
were on strike in Atlantic and Gulf
coast ports. The American Steam
ship Owners Association retorted the
statistics were exaggerated. Only II
ships are actually tied up. the asso-
citation announced.
Curran charged the owners were
employing notorious police characters
and professional strikebreakers" to
procure crews and said such action
will no doubt begin violence and
terrorism on the waterfront"
The New York harbor was calm
over the week end. The liner Oriente
sailed without passengers and more
than day late.
Ships Prepare to Sail.
On the Pacific Coast strikebound
ships began preparations to sail for
home ports, move made possible
under the union committees an
nouncement of reversion to it's former
policy of clearing such vessels.
Strikebound ships at Honolulu
awaited sailing orders The situation
there was complicated somewhat by
confusion over the policy of releasing
the vessels.
Union crews were selected to remove
perishables from refrigerator vessels
at San Francisco, Portland and
Seattle. Union personnel at Los
