BRUENING BUDGE FACESROUGHROAD Financial Plan of German Chancelior Certain to Meet With Opposition. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 1.-—Although com- mended widely, the financial program of Chancellor Bruening and his cabinet, published yesterday, seemed certain to- day to travel a rocky road before it gains Reichstag approval. Many observers were convinced that the parliamentary dissension, which already, prior to convening of the new body, is disrupting the political life of the nation, would prevent its passage at all, but would precipitate enactment by decree and the dictatorship which | the: presidency has threatened.

But with its rigid economies, its specifications for reductions of taxes and its slash of 20 per cent in salaries it has commanded wide attention, and in many circles unqualified approval. Bankers particularly commended it to the German public. One financier in one of the most prominent posts in Germany told the Associated Press: “Mr. Parker Gilbert's suggestions have been heeded to an ex- tent and in such a concrete manner as he himself perhaps never thought could be expected.” Believes It Will Carry. This financier further expressed the opinion thit the government program was bound to have repercussions in vate indust'; and to bring about wering of both prices and wages. He belleved the program would pass the Reichstag, saying, “It will carry of its ©own momentum.” But Adolf Hitler's block of 107 Fas- eists in the coming Reichstag loomed today as a possible impediment to not only the financial program but to other constructive measures which the government may wish'to put through.

SMOOT ADVANCES LOW SILVER CAUSE Tells Engineers Respowéibil- ity Rests Upon “a Great Power” He Did Not Name. By the Associated Press. SALT LAKE CITY, October 1.— Responsibility for the lowered value of silver is blamed by Reed Smoot, chair- man of the Senate Finance Committee, upon “a great power,” which he did not name, In an address before the Salt Lake Chapter of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers Monday night Senator Smoot added: “But we know that Great Britain has tried to force gold on India. We know that her power is sueh that India be- lieves the mother country is going to force gold on her.” “There are a bilion people in the world who want silver for circulation as currency,” he added. “I have faith that when the work of the Pittman committee is completed and the facts are presented to Congress, something will happen to place silver back in its rightful place beside gold in the com- | merce of the world.” Senator Smoot declared the proposed international conference on silver would be too slow in its results to be exten- | sive #hd emphasized that “we are not | asking for a fixed gold and silver ratio.” Drop Corner Stone Rites at Rockville; No Stone Provided Bpecial Dispatch to The Star, ROCKVILLE, Md., October 1.— ‘The county commissioners, it was announced at the weekly meeting of the board yesterday, have abandoned the idea of holding corner stone-laying exericses in connection with the erection of the $400,000 combination court house and jail now in course of construction Rere, and will are range elaborate ceremonies for dedication of a memorial tablet to be erected on the interior of the building. 1t was stated that the plans for the big_structure make no pro- vision for a corner stone and that to provide one at this late date would involve too great ex- pense, in the opinion of the com- missioners.

From August 1 to September 22 our revenues were $282 per day below last year. This indicates that the fare change brought us approximately $550 per day addi- tional revenue. Economies eflected, chiefly by schedule changes and the elimination of unnecessary service, have resulted in a reduction in operating ex- penses for the first eight months of the year to the amount of $30,139. During the same period taxes showed a reduc- tion of $12,000.” Difficulties Increased. On taxi competition the letter states: “The tremendous increase during the last six months in the number of cheap flat-rate taxicabs in Washington has seriously added to the traffic difficulties and has made great inroads “pon our passengers. From testimony offered by drivers and owners of cabs at a recent hearing before the Public Utilities Com- mission, the cut-rate service now ren- dered is not remunerative and the num- ber of cabs now operated may be les- sened. The seriousness of this compe- tition as it affects us is due to the ability of the cabs to operate when and where they will, while we must furnish continuous service on approved sched- ules under all conditions and are com- pelled to charge the same rate of fare for both short and long rides. Traffic congestion, augmented by the increased number of cabs, now makes operation of street cars and busses at a reasonable rate of speed extremely difficult.” WILL CHECK DEFICIT _ CHICAGO, October 1 (#).—The Ju- Jius Rosenwald Fund yesterday pledged to the Mental Hygiene Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital, in Philadelphia, Pa., half of any deficit up to $17,500 for its first year of operation.
