REAL CONTRAGTORS SEE INJURY IN TARIFFS Poll in Maine Results in Ex- pression That They Are Major Cause of Depression. Engineers and contractors of Maine, a State with a strong protectionist tra- dition, have voted that tariffs are a major cause of depressions, according to the preliminary results of a poll con- ducted by the Maine Employment Com- mittee of the American Engineering Council, of which Dean Paul Cloke of the College of Technology, University of Maine, is chairman. Seventeen other major causes were found as follows: Overproduction, greed, cost of gov- | ernment, installment buying, emotional factors in business decisions, promo- tion schemes, expenditure of national wealth outside of country, generalized overproduction, buying on margins, banking procedures, speculative &ln- chases and sales, block control of - gress, failure of business to create un- employment and business stabilization reserves, deferred obligations on the part of corporations and individuals re- sulting in frozen assets, lack of ag- essive campaign of export selling and k of adequate merchant marine, failure to allocate a fair amount of created wealth during period of ex- cessive profit to workers producing this wealth, divergence of curves of man- hour production and consumption per capita. Among the proposals for alleviation or prevention of depression voted worthy of consideration were: Regulation of stock market activi- Sies, anti-trust law revision, resumption of buying, credit relief, spread of work, farm labor planning, more aggressive ESTATE.

Special Dispatch to The El,l\'9 i D CAGO, March 19.—Thes Demo- cuctl;g tax bill, reported out of the House at Washington last week by the Ways and Means Committee, does not include the provision for taxing realty deeds recommended by’ the United States Treasury and opposed by the National Assoclation of Real Estate Boards, H.
