PACT Of A|RL|NES
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Postal Official Hits Proposed
Contract of Companies
as 'Monopofistic."

bS tie hSSOClhl tee HTeSS.
Karl A. Crowley, solicitor of the
Post Office Department, ruled today
a contract for cooperation between
United Airlines Transport Corp. and
Western Air Express Corp. is illegal
and monopolistic.
Crowley described the proposed con-
tract between the airlines as intended
to permit the two companies to op-
crate through plane service between
New York and points east OF Salt
Lake City to points west thereof and
to the terminus at Los Angeles.
Passengers boarding the plane east
OF Salt Lake City might remain on
board at that point and continue to
their destination at Los Angeles or
any intermediate point west of Salt
Lake City, the department said, had
the contract been approved
1T is clearly the intent of Congress
that monopoly in the air transport
services of the United States should
not be permitted" Crowley said.
IF the proposed contract should be
approved, then similar arrangements
would be made by the three larger
aviation companies with the smaller
airmail contractors which would neces-
sarily result in complete control
OF the air transport industry and of
the carriage of mail by airplane be-
coming concentrated in the hands of
a few large nnononolistjc cornoyotjops
No agreement which may result in the
creation Of such situation should
receive the approval of the Post Office
Department and no such agreement is
within the letter or spirit Of the air.

Il am of the opinion that the con-
tract entered into between United
Airlines Transport Corp and Western
Air Express Corp is contrary
to the provisions of the airmail act of

TAX OF $35, 100000
SEEN FOR MELLON
Family's Holdings Have Value Of
$243 900, ,0OO-State to Get
80 Per Cent of Levy.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, August 2s.-Tax
attorneys estimated yesterday that the
Federal inheritance tax on the estate
OF Andrew w. Mellon would exceed
5.O0Oo 900 and might run as high as
35,ooo,oo
An attache of the register of Wills
office, which will collect the tax for the
State, said the estate Of the former
Secretary OF the Treasury would prob
ably exceed that of his brother, R. B.
Mellon, which has arranged to pay the
State approximately $l2,000000
Howard M. johnson, secretary to
Mellon, declined to estimate the
estates assets, but during Melons
income tax appeal in 1881 the family
holdings were disclosed to have a
value on today's market of about
$243. 100000
Much Of this wealth has since been
transferred to the Coalesced Co. with
100000 shares OF stock being given
equally to Paul Mellon and Mrs. David
K. E. Bruce, Melons children.
johnson said the Federal inheritance
tax was graduated from IS per cent
on estates between $l0,O00,000 and
$40, 900, 900 to 10 per cent on all assets
above $4,000 900.
He declined to estimate the time
that would be required for filing an
accounting.
The commonwealth Of Pennsylvania
will receive 80 per cent of whatever
funds the Federal Government collects
in inheritance taxes.
Most financial observers agreed that
Melons estate would exceed $50,000,-
900 despite bequests of more than
500, 900 during the last Is years.

ment is found impotent; if law enforce.
ment yields to instruction, good Ameri,
can citizens by the millions are going to
rally to the preservation of their country,
| its system of government, its laws and its
ideals; and if it is necessary to meet and
resist revolution and violence with vio-
lence, the country may expect to discover
that the United States is dotted from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to the
Mexican border, with Hershey, Pennsyl-
vanias, instead of Flint and Detroit, Mich
igans.
If serious resistance and trouble is what
is takes to end Red revolution in this coun-
try, our conviction is that majority of the
population-the patriotic, intelligent, 10y
al, courageous American majority of our
population-will meet revolution with the
character of resistance that will stop sit
downs, end instructions, and determine
once and for all time to come whether this
Republic is to survive or be succeeded by
mobocracy.
To all mtents and purposes several of
the AZ States have been taken over by the
radical rabble. AS in Michigan the revo
lutionarieS combine with certain industrial
moguls to control and fix the policies of
State government Without regard for law
or the courts, they settle uprisings, deter
mine what shall be done, sell laboring peo-
pie into slavery to the labor racketeers.
They cause industrial and business losses
running into hundreds of millions, trample
on the rights of the public, and coollyl
frame agreements which will assess the
costs in cash against the buying and con-
Stunning public.
1t is still fact, however, we are conf
dent that similar conditions cannot be
forced in majority of the States and this
majority of the States will finally save the
country from Red revolution and restore
law and order and the dominance Of
Americanism.

FEDERAL SPENDING AT HIGH

At the moment federal spending is at record
highs and apparently nothing is being done to
bring it down.
The government is putting out, on the average
$593, 0OO, 900 per month, as against S552,VOo,ooo,
S545 900 900 and $3.50 O0O,O 900 for 1886, 1885 and
1884, respectively. The outlook for materially re-
ducing spending is extremely black.
AS the United States News points out, many ac-
tiyities classified as emergency" year or two or
three ago, now are cassed as permanent Fur
thermore terrific pressure is exerted to keep fed
eral relief checks flowing out of the machines that
write them When short time ago 1t was an
nounced that WPA spending was to be cut, COVER
nors mayors and other officials cried to high heaV-
en-and the result was that the reductions were
not made and may not be made at all this year
Thus, viewing the situation realistically 1t seems
certain that, under present conditions, only nope
for a balanced budget is more income not less
outgo
More income means either new taxes OF hgher
taxes Officials are chary of both.
For one thing, the federal government has ADOPT
ed many new taxes in late years; it is doubtful
whether there are many sources OF Importance YET

he thinks of the possible political explosions higher
taxes could cause.--Charlotte Observer.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
RELIEF IN THE MIDST OF PROSPERITY

Considering the hum of the wheels of machinery
that is to be heard all over the industrial nation
today and the availability of jobs for those who are
qualified to do the work that is in progress, the
wonder is that the relief administration is not able
to report q reduction of its activities to mini
mum. .....
But instead of SO doing, it appears now as II
federal relief is to be made indefinitely continuous
and to be carried on without any marked degree
of subsistence.
The best informerS from Washington indicate
that the president will ask for $4,000, 100000 for
this service for the next fiscal year
1t hasn't been so very long ago that such stag
gering amount of federal expenditures would have
suiced for every form of public service, from the
least to the greatest.
Chances are that there is very little more unem-
ployment today than normally prevails in this coun-
try, during any ordinary period of slackness, but
the difference is that in the past, when such con-
ditions developed the federal government was not
in the relief business, and hence no national aten-
ton was taken of the needs.
Today, however, the federal government has be-
come committed to the policy of assisting those
who are without any profitable form of employ
ment and it is going to be far harder for that gov
eminent to separate itself eventually from this SER
vice than it is to wean six months old calf
