State Tax Decline
OF 1878, ,424 Reported
Deductions Because OF U. S. Levies
Are Seen As Main Reason For Drop

State Tax Commissioner James
P. Truss last Friday announced a
drop of $37S,424.63 in collections
of the State Tax Department for the
year ending October 81.
The decrease of from $5,576, ,137. 80
for the year ending October 81,
1910, to $5,202,71S.17 for the SINH
lar period of this year, is attri-
buted principally to the increased
deductions Of federal income taxes
and also because of the heavy drop
in estate and Inheritance taxes.
Income taxes collected by the
state for the period totaled $1,599,-
S6S.99, as compared to $1,745,217.96
for the similar period of 1910.

International News Service wire
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-The AL
executive council today issued a
statement declaring that the send
ing of American troops to warning
Europe was unjustified under pres

The council also warned the ma
ton of becoming too friendly with
Russia. The statement said:
"The council fears that the
change I'm the war picture may
give rise to a tendency among
some enthusiasts to clasp the
hand of Russia as a friend and
an ally. This Is unthlnkabIe.

Of communism are as noxious
and unprincipled rs those Of
nazism.
with this understood our ma
ton can proceed TO weigh the
question of whether and to what
extent we should render aid to
Russia. Practical considerations
make II expedient that we ex-
tend such assistance as we can
To help Soviet Russia fight the
Nazi war machine. But we
should do this without the
slightest pretense that the
