Rules Testimony Pertinent. This testimony was received in the ommission's investigation of the Public | ervice Co. after Commissioner McCul- | pertinent. Rabert, E. Healy, counsel for the com- mission, said in introducing such testi- mony the commission was not indicat- ing any views for or against State acts | which prohibit _export from Maine of surplus_hydro-electric energy. Chantland's testimony was taken as a_preliminary to the calling of officers of the New England company for direct testimony on the campaign expenditure. The attorney testified he had gone to W. S. Wyman at the company’s office in Augusta and had secured from him “without any question” the details of the company's campaign expenditure. Chantland _further testified that Dempster McMurphy, publicity man of the Middle Western Utilities Co., in direct owner of the New England com- pany, had been sent to Maine to assist during the campaign Chairmen Selected. He added members of the committee explained that county chairmen for the campaign had been selected in each county and in some cases these had assistance. “They were furnished with money by the committee and were told that if they needed more funds they were to ask for it.” he continued. “The sums were in round figures and they were not “Persons of both political affiliations were selected for county positions, mem- bers of the committee said, the selec- tions being of whichever persons would bring the better results.” Testimony to show the indirect own- ership of the New England company by the Insull interests was given yes- terday by Frank Buckingham, a co mission examiner. Reading from his prepared report, Buckingham testified that he had made an examination of the company's affairs and its offices at Augusta for the period from the company's organization in 1925 to December 31, 1930. He said the ccmpany was organized under the Maine laws in 1925 “by the Insull interests.” Controls Utilities. “In what business is the company engaged?” Buckingham was asked by Healy. “It controls through stock ownership utilities in the New England States,” Buckingham replied. Asked about the New England Co.’s connection with the National Electric Power Co.. a subsidiary of the Middle Western Utilities Co., an Insull holding, the witness testified that in December, 1930, “the National Electric Power Co. i held 915 per cent of the voting stock | of the New England Co. —— AIMEE M'PHERSON'S CONDITION IMPROVES Reported “Reacting Normally” to Transfusion of Blood for Anemia.

Bill Shows It Is Harsher Than Law in New York, Considered One of the Best. (This is the second of a series of | articles discussing the proposed estate taxr law for the District of Columbia.) HE proposed estate tax for the District of Columbia would levy upon estates of decedents here in this city a much heavier tax than is extracted by the State of New York under its new estate tax W, This is disclosed by an expert an- alysis of both the New York law and the District of Columbia bill, now pending in the Senate. Comparison of the two shows that the local legis- ation would operate to take more money ut of estates passing on to heirs. - As the New York State law was en- | cted after the most careful considera- tion in the State which produces more taxes from estates than any other part of the country, the conclusion has been scientifically reached that the new Dis- trict bill, as compared with the New Yorkk law, is sharply discriminatory against the people of this city. The law in New York State was en- acted after long experience with pre- vious laws, after a higher inheritance tax had been repealed and after law- ers representing huge estates which are to be taxed at death had had am- ple opportunity to make objections to any unfair rates or clauses in the leg- islation. The New York law also was enacted by a State Legislature in which sat representatives of the people to be taxed, while here in the District of Columbia the people who are to be taxed, through their estates, have no vote in the making of the new law. State Collects 80 Per Cent. New York State is one of the out- standing States of the Union to adopt the principle that the State shall collect 80 per cent of the Federal estate tax. New York repealed its old inheritance tax, which ordinarily was greater than the Federal estate tax on small estates. The Federal Govern- ment allows a credit of 80 per cent of the Federal estate tax to the States, s0 the New York law has arranged it so that the collections by the State shall seldom if ever exceed this credit. It is believed that the District of Co- | lumbia bill, if enacted in its pres- | ent form, will allow for much greater | collections than the 80 per cent credit allowed by the Federal Government. The State of New York turns into | the Federal Government a large part of the estate tax which the Fed-| eral Government collects. For exam- ple, in the year ended June 30, 1931, estates in New York paid into the Fed- eral Treasury $13,439,538 out of the whole total of $48,078,32889 obtained by the United States Government for the entire fiscal year from the whole country. The analysis of the New York law, as compared with the new District bill goes sharply into the technical ques tions of exemptions and tax upon vari- ous amounts of property left by de- cedents. For the purpose of conveniently pre- | senting the situation there is a table dttached showing the New York estate tax, and the first District estate tax bill, at the rates prescribed in section 8 of the local bill, when he amounts upon | which the estate taxes are computed | are equal. | District Rates High. | ‘The tax proposed under the District bill exceeds the New York tax for all and most of the the smaller estates, e et arger ones, under this u ]Asrga matter of fact it is shown that the tax proposed here exceeds the 'N_e; York tax unless the amount upon whic the tax is computed, which is desig- nated as the ‘“net estate exceeds 570,000 SI'gl'he 2:‘(::?.\% of the District bill col- lections over New York on small net estates is shown to be 25 per cent. On net estates of over $100.000 the per- centage of excess is less. The absolute amount of the excess increases until the net estate is equal to $3,500.000, when the excess is $39.700. The excess drops until a net estate of $5,000. 000’ is reached on which the excess lfii?l‘fi,lfln From this point the excess increases until a ne? estate of $9.000,000 is reached, on which the excess is $97,700. From this point the excess decreases until there is no excess on a net estate of $19.570,000. On a net estate of more than this huge amount. the New York estate tax would be greater than the estate tax now proposed for the District of Columbia. Exemptions in the aggregate amount of $100,000 were assumed in the con- struction of the attached table. The exemptions for the New York estate tax might be as great as $150.000. But section 7 of the new District estate tax bill places no limitation on the aggre- gate amount of the exemptions. It is considered, however, highly improb- able that the aggrezate amount of the exemptions here would ever exceed the New York maximum of $100.000. New York More Lenient. A comparison of the two bills shows | for instance, that New York State gives larger exemptions to the widower, to a child, but the District bill gives an exemption of $1,000 to a stranger, which is not given in the New York law To show more fully the difference, the following table discloses the com- parison District of w York. Columbia $20,000 $20.000 20.000 10,000 5.000 5.000 Relationship Widow Widower Brother or sister.... Child : 5,000 2,000 Stranger . 1,000 The New York law by an amendment has made it mandatory that the exemp- tions shall be “not less than $100,000,’ but it is believed that accordingsto the exemptions allowed in the District bill, estates here would seldom get that much. This is another place where the New York law is much more definite and favorable to the estate than the District bill Suppose that a resident of the Dis- trict of Columbia died leaving $100,000 in cash over the amount of debts, charges and administration eypenses, and that his entire estate was jpft to a person not a relative. In this ,ase the personal exemption would be £ §00, the net estate would be $99.000 xnd the tax would be $1,480. Had tbl: decedent changed his residence to the State of New York, his estate would have re- ceived an exemption of $100,000 and there would have been no New York estate tax at all The critical analysis showing com- parisons in the accompanying table is said to fairly indicate that the pro- posed tax at the rates prescribed by the District of Columbia bill in almost every case will exceed the tax on a comparabie_estate as imposed by the New York Estate Tax act. How District Estates Would Pay More Tax Than New York Estates Comparison of the taz imposed the tax imposed under the present New by section 8 of House bill 5822 with York estate tax, the amounts to which the respective rates apply being equal (the amount to which thy =gles of section 8 are applied is called the net been deducted in computing the net estate estate, the personal exemptisey hatny The amounat to whte% e Y York rates are applied is the excess of the net esiniq gver the jryponal ex- emptions. be $100,000, the New York minimum.)

P " CANADIAN SENATOR HITS FAWCETT BELIEVED | CAPTIVE IN JUNGLE Report That Long-Lost Ex- plorer Still Lives in Brazil Starts Search. By the Associated Press, SAO PAULO, Brazil, March 17.—The possibility that Col. P. H. Fawcett, the .man who disappeared seven years ago into the Brazilian jungles to hunt a Garden of Eden, is still alive, was in- vestigated here yesterday by the British consul-general, Arthur Abbott. Abbott's activity was based on the story of Stephan Rattin, a Swiss trap- per of long jungle experience, that he saw the colonel on October 18 of last year. Rattin said he talked to a white man with a heavy beard, clothed in animal skins, near a mountain range he identified as the Serra Morena, some 500 miles further iato the jungle from Dead Horse Camp, the last stronghold of civilization in Brazil. Willing to Go Back. The spot was located between the Tapajos and the Madera Rivers, which are approximately 300 mfles apart, but Rattin said he was willing to back :rr:;rk through the jungle to verify his ale. The trapper said he believed Col Fawcett, a British citizen, was being held hostage by Indian tribes Rattin said the colonel asked him to communicate with Sir Ralph Spencer Paget, British Ambassador to Brazil, and for an unexplained reason Abbott said this was the most convincing part of the jungle man's story. Sir Ralph has been ambassador to Brazil for many years. Rattin said he was convinced it was Col. Fawcett he talked to because the man was wearing four rings, a custom of the missing explorer. The man asked him to tell the British Ambassador that he was well but unable to get away. He said his son Jack and a friend, Ra- leigh Rimmell, the young Englishman and the only two white men who ac- companied him, were dead.

Trust Forhan’s to keep your teeth white and glistening. Even for this purpose there is no finer tooth- paste made. But that is only one duty of Forhan's. Its other duty is to protect your gums.

Forhan’s is a pleasant-tasting, agreeable toothpaste for genzni family use. It is pure and mild— liked by the children. But remem- ber: “it’s more than a toothpaste.” Large tube. Lasts long time. I
