SIGNS IT No Ceremony Marks Final Ac- tion on Bill Designed to Balance Budget TREASURY READY TO ACT All Preparations Made to Begin Collecting Additional $1,118,500,000 Washington, June 7—()—The new revenue bill is law Tuesday, bolstering the credit of the government with the Breatest range of taxes ever imposed by this country except during war. With Spartan absence of ceremony, President Hoover transformed this giant legislation into a statute by af- fixing his signature Monday evening in the presence only of a secretary, less than two hours after the final legislative step had been taken by the senate. The majority of the new rates—ex- cises, tariffs, and stamp taxes—will go into effect in 15 days, or on June 21. The treasury will immediately prepare for their collection. The new, high income rates are applicable to the earnings of the Current calendar year and will be payable on next year’s returns. The tax law is to pour $1,118,500,000 into the treasury during the fiscal year which begins July 1, and thus restore the national finances to a cash basis—pay as you go and no more borrowing—aiding to restore the coun- try's economic life to its normal vigor. Its companion measure, the nation- al economy program, by which ex- penditures of the government are to be cut to a point equalling the reve- nue, was being driven forward to‘com- pletion Tuesday by the senate. Its passage by evening was sought by the leaders. The senate had laid this economy bill aside Monday to give final ap- proval to the tax bill, amended in the conference compromise which led to acceptance of its rates by the house last Saturday. There was a stern fight before this last legislative step was completed, centered almost en- tirely on one tax, that on electric power.

But an unyielding majority would not be balked of the major objective, to get the bill done immediately and put to an end the long-drawn-out battling and altering of rates, and the result- ing fears and hesitation of the busi- ness and industry affected by the new tax burden. The bill went through 46 to 35. The opponents were 11 Republicans, most- ly from the independent wing, 23 Democrats and the one Farmer Labor member. : Of the new law's ‘total expected yield, the excise taxes ranging from electric power to cosmetics and from automobiles to candy are to bring in Miscellaneous taxes, which include charges on telephone and telegraph messages, admission tickets, oil pipe lines, safe deposit boxes, bank checks and boats, are counted on for $152,- bee income ti personal and From le taxes, corporation with many administrative changes reducing possible deductions, @ total of $299,000,000 is to be drawn.

Doctors said the boy was in “good” condition Tuesday morning, pointing out that the only danger would be de- velopment of an infection. They said they would not immediately attempt to remove the .22-calibre bullet from his shoulder. The bullet which accidentally struck Mark was fired by Ray Homan, young Mandan boy. Young Homan, with a group of sev- eral Bismarck and Mandan boys, were in pup tents about 1,000 feet from the ister, another Bismarck boy, had re- tired during the rainstorm shortly af- ter 8 o'clock <€. 8.

He said he fired into the air unwittingly in the direction of tHe Christianson and Register boys’ tent. The boys brought Mark to Bismarck immediately after the mishap. Mark and Francis had pitched tent only two hours before, according to Judge Christianson, and had planned to camp there for two or three days. ;The other boys also were camping.

Police and fire wardens reported they were hampered in their work of establishing a definite casualty list because the only list of tenants was destroyed in the fire. Cause of the blast was unknown. The blast was felt over all down- town Cleveland. A solid wall of flame enveloped the building, trapping oc- cupants in their rooms. Frank Fisher, building watchman, informed Fire Warden J. H. Andrews that tenants in the structure reported gas odors Monday. A crowd of 10,000 watched in hor- Tor as screaming figures were sil- houetted against the windows. The body of an unidentified man hurtled from the fifth floor to lodge on a second floor ledge.
