ANTI-SALES TAX
CLUB REVIVED

BETHESDA, Md, April %.
Maryland's Anti-Sales Tax Associa-
ton, organized by Walter K. Bach
rach, of Bethesda, which has been
marking time for several months,
was revived yesterday to combat
any attempt by the special session
of the general assembly to enact
any form of sales or gross receipts
tax.
Bachrach declared his organlza-
ton is now active in nearly every
county in Maryland and, with the
Retail Grocers Association OF
Maryland, will be able to exert
sufficient influence to defeat any
move for q sales tax as a means OF
raising relief funds.
Mr.. Bachrach said he was not
opposed to a nationwide sales tax
but felt that for Maryland to
enact one would place merchants
of the State at a disadvantage
when competing with those in
other States and the District Of
Columbia.
The Anti-Sales Tax Association
and allied groups were successful
in defeating a proposed sales tax
measure during the 1885 session
of the general assembly.

KEECH FAV0RS
FEWER CABS

Reduction in the number Of
taxicabs operating in washington
from approximately 5000 to $500
has been advocated by Richmond
B. Keech, vice chairman Of the
Public Utilities Commission.
He said such a step would re-
lieve traffic congestion besides
assuring cab drivers of an OPP
portunity to make living wage.
FoStered by the Public Utilities
Commission, a bill has been sent
to Congress by the District Com
missioners calling for a reduction.
Keech said under the plan out
lined in the bill, no hardship
would be worked on the present
licensed drivers. He pointed out

heavier taxes, drastic though
the present taxes are"
In the 1885 and 1895 revenue
acts. the Government broadened
its tax powers by increasing sur
tax rates, imposing a surtax on
undistributed corporation profits
and making dividend receipts sub
ject to normal income levieS.
The new tax schedules, coupled
with business Improvement, di-
verted a huge flow of funds into
Treasury vaults. March income
payments amounted to TOO mil
lion dollars, an increase Of 10 per
cent over 1896. Total payments
by individuals and corporations
so far this fiscal year amount to
1913 million dollars. At this time
a year ago collections were 1,O4S
million dollars.

HOPE OF EARLY
TAX SLASH
REMOTE
FOLLOWING is the third and last
story of a series showing the
Governments fiscal situation.
International News Service

International News Service
ANY reduction in Federal tax
rates appeared remote today, as
Government spending continued
at a record pace.
Although Treasury revenues for
the current fiscal year are eX-
pected to soar to the greatest
volume attained since 1920, heavy
expenditures will create a deficit
of more than $2.652,OOO,OOO.
Despite marked improvement
in economic conditions over the
past three years, appropriation
estimates call for OUTLAWS that
may preclude a balanced budg-
ct before 1889 or 1910.
For the 1888 fiscal year, start
ing July / President Roosevelt
has forecast expenditures aggre-
eating S7,692,122.254, against
which receipts OF $7,293,6O7,1S7
are anticipated.
Comparisons Shown
This compares with expendi-
lures of $8,48O, 100000 during the
fiscal year of 1887; $3.50 oo, 900
in 1895; $7,375, 600, 900 in 1885 and
S7,1O5, 900, 900 in 1884.
The following table illustrates
the trend of Federal disbursements
in recent fiscal years:
Legislative. judicial and executive
1886 500. 900; 1887, &1, 100000; 1885,
S41,344,000.

To Recast Budget
Unless President Roosevelt trims
his $1,848, 100000 relief estimate,
the deficit in June, 1888. may
again reach sizeable proportions.
The President has announced he
would recast his budget next week.
With Government expenditures
continuing at the present volume,
the possibility Of new taxes has
been discussed In Administration
circles.

 vessel and tow her to Juneau, where
 he will repair her sufficiently for use as salvage vessel.
 Going on to Uzinski, the Talla-
 poosa there took aboard three very sick persons, native man and wo-
 man and a white man, J. c. Sum-
 merlin, for transportation to the 1 hospital at Seward. Sumerlin was suffering from pneumonia. Enroute Ito Seward, the sick woman, from Afognak, died.
 From Seward, the cutter returned direct to Juneau. In the neighbor-
 bod of two hundred seals were counted by the cutters crew. The Tallapoosa is now expected to re-
 main here until May 27, when she is to sail for her summers cruise
 among the Aleutian Islands with Dr. Ales Hrdlicka and his scientific party. Cleaning boilers will occupy lthe time of the ships crew for the next few days.

through the crisis that followed sus- pension of the gold standard.
 At times, in his spectacular car eer, he was reviled as an athiest a destroyer and pacifist. But in his second term as chancellor he was hailed as a savior of the nations honor and treasury
 The interim saw him reviled as an athiest, a destroyer and traitor ousp acifist, then hailed as a sa- vior.
 In the trying times of the World War Snowden was regarded as a scourge to British honor. Deeply pacific, he spoke against not only war as an institution, but against the 19l4-i918 conflict He declared that battles settled nothing and least of all the problems of the work ng classes.
 Hailed as Bulwark
 Yet a decade later the press of all t.nges of political opinion in England was hailing him at bull wark of British interest when at The Hague debt conference he fought off every attempt to reduce Great Britain's share of the Ger man separations payments below the g per cent awarded her at the Spa conference six years earlier.
 Snowden was wooed and won by socialism while he was on his first serious sickbed. He was put tfere by being knocked off a bicycle and to pass the time of his long conval- essence, he read everything he could get his hands on. Some of that literature was socialistic and he plunged into study of it that converted him to its tenens.
 He rose from his bed with per- manent injuries to his back that forced him to hobble with rubber topped canes through the rest of his life. But his dragging feet

 Trapper Found Dead
 Arriving at Kanatak, more grue- scme task faced the cutter. A trapper had been found dead on the beach three miles from the vil- lage last November. He had gone to tend his traplines and not re- turned. During the winter, humors that he had been murdered con- tinued to grow and had reached the pitch where, unon the arrival of the Tallapoosa, an inquest was necessary. The ships physician, Dr. E. A. Doane, performed an autop- sy, and numerous witnesses were interrogated, but without finding any evidence of foul play
 There was a considerable number of white men already at Kanatak awaiting the breakup of the ice on Lake Becharof to cross the Al aska Peninsula to Bristol Bay and Goodnews Bay.
