W, CHRIST TALKS - ONSTATE ASSEMBLY Representative Tells Rotarians of Activities at Capitol E. W, Christ, representative in the egislature from New Britain, was the jpeaker at the meeting of the Rotary lub in the Elks' hall this noon, in leu of a previously announced speak- er who could not attend. Mr. Christ ent Into the activities of the finance ommittee of the legislature at some ength, outlining where changes had jbeen made in acts which affect the tate income. He declared that he believed that the state income this lvear would be greater than it was expected and allowed for when the finance committee was making appro- Ipriations, and it was his opinion that he allowance for the proposed state [normal school dormitory in. this city hould have been given. He stated hat he had several conferences with officlals on. the subject and it is a ource of considerable regret that he ould not get the money for tht new ullding. Fewer Bills Passed. Mr. Christ, in opening his remarks, said that he was unable to prepare a very thorough report on the 1923 Legisiature” in the short notice which he had had from the president of the [Rotary club. Consequently he would alk upon the work of his committees, with which he was most familiar, and try and give the rotarians an idea of he work of the finance committee in particular. Those who are criticiz- ing the legislature because of the one jact, the standard time bill, have the consolation of knowing that the 1923 session did not pass as many bills as the previous legislature by several hundred, he said. Many hundreds, however, were discussed by the com- mittees. Industries are prosperous land bills affecting them are of a great deal of interest. * One-of the methods of raising in- ome which have been adopted in other states was successfully avolded by the finance committee, that being state income tax and the finance ommittee finally found it possible to raise enough money to cover estl- Imated expenses without being forced 0 adopt new measures of taxatlion pon individuals or business firms. arelessness in making appropriations ounted for a great deal of saving, he ald. To New. RBritain, a manufacturing ity, thé corporation tax is worthy of ttentlon. In 1915 it was found that he state was going to be short some $700,000 in its income. The flnance [committee ‘at that time, became in- [volved in a jam with the manufactur- ers of the state who objected to a jcorporation tax largely because it in. [volved so much extra bookkeeping. It vas finally decided to adopt a scheme of taxing corporations 2 per cent of the net income as reported on the overnment income tax blanks and such a law was passed in the state. Latély the government has allowed losses to be deducted from income and lllqwed the amount of the loss to be uprelfl over two years. Inasmuch as the state blank was simiilar to the [government blank the losses had beén claimed -in the state as well as the nation. This was remedied and cor- porations now pay 2 per cent on a net basis, He also spoke of the partner- ship and unincerporated business tax jon gross business, .Insurance Companies Avoid Tax The exemption of Liberty bonds for tax purposes in the state had become a serious loss in income where insur- ance companles were involved. The insurance companies, or some of them,, had acquired so many bonds, tax- empt, that they were paying, in one instance, no tax to the state. This (was remedied by splitting the act concerning exemptions into two parts, one of which concerned banks and still allowed the exemption and the other which required insurance com- panies to pay a tax on 50 per cent of | the market value of their bonds, - The state tax to towns was cut 25 per cent, from $2,000,000 to $1,500,- 000. This made a difference.of $19,- 000 in the state tax to New Britain, Action on bonds issued by munici- palities, forcing a “pay as you go" policy to cities and towns was out- lined. The towns were forced to is- sue serial bonds of a life comparative to the length of life of the asset that they were 1ssued against, with street improvements being the shortest liv- ed bonds and water and sewer con- struction the longer. The speaker cited the case of Willimantic which had asked for the third issue of honds amounting to $75,000, the first issue of Which was made in 1884. They 'were to be issued against water mains and the third issue was asked for 1924. It developad that the town had $40,000 In a sinking fund but the | whole $75,000 was needed to bring! the water works up to a necessary | point of usefulness. According to a tion of the finance committee it will | now be necessary for towns to insure payments on bonds from a sinking fund befors the utility that formed the asset is useless. “According to | Senator J. H. Trumbull,” sald Mr, Christ, “the indebtedness of towns will: be reduced some $50,000,000, it the program of the finance commit- tee is followed for 10 or 15 years. The appointment of a committee to | study tax exempt property in cities and towns in the state with the view | of submitting a plan of procedure to the next legislature was touched upon Mr. Christ received geenrous applause at the conclusion of his talk, which, | necessarily, is in its briefest form in | these columns. Preceding the introduction of Christ, President Fred Rackliffe gave a report on Rotary work with erip- tes promises many events of interest during the next couple of months, On July 26, Harold Whithead, a Ro- tarian from Boston, will speak. Au- gust 2 a visit will be made by New Britain Rotary to the Junlor Repub- lic in Litehfield. A, baseball team, made up of youngsters from the city playgrounds will be taken to play the Junior Republic second team. Au- gust 2 the annual visit to the ¥resh Alr Camp will be made., August 16, K. Johnstone, publisher of the “Amer- fcan Exporter,” will speak on export conditions. August 23 Nina Wilcox Putnam will speak on “Matrimony.” September 6 Rev, J. G.

Husband, U, 8. commissioner of im- migration, will give a talk on immi- gration in.November. WAR CLOUDS DARKER NOW THAN AWAY BACK IN 1614 Baker Hopes Country Will See Way Clear to Enter League of Nations Cleveland, O., July 19.—Europe is now more nearly ready for world war than it was in 1914, Newton D. Baker told an audience of women gathered here yesterday to hear the former sec- retary of war and others outline the purposes of the League of Natlons Nonpartizan association, It was the first gun fired here in an attempt to secure signers to a petition that the United States enter a league of na- tions. “When we present to the president and senate ten thousand names, or ten hundred thousand names or ten mil- lion names of those who want Am- erica to join a league of nations, they will listen,” Mr Baker declared. “Europe i{s now more nearly ready for world war than it was in 1914, 8o far as underlying caes are con- cerned,” Mr., Baker added. "I can- not see how it can be prevented un- less some substitute is found. “If the devil has it in his heart to let forth upon the human race more deadly instruments of destrudtion than were used in the last terrible war, it means international suicide so far as the clvilized nations are con- cerned. “America must do her part in a big wdy in concert with the other na- tions of the world to prevent an inter- national war. I believe that way will be the league of nations, with reser- vations to protect the liberty of the United States.” Mr. Baker explained that there is no opposition between the league and the world court. He referred to the latter as ‘“something we ought to go into,” adding that “the court doesn't take us into the league and it doesn't keep us out.” CONFER WITH FORD Several Prominent Democrats -Visit Flivver King at His Dearborn Home to Discuss Politics.

By The Associated Press., London, July 19.—The contraband shipment of liquor from the West In- dies to the United States again formed the basls for several questions today in the._house of commons, various members appearing anxious to know if the British government was pre- pared to do everything possible to prevent violation of American law by British interests. Ronald McNeill, replying for the foreign office said a note received from the United States government a year ago had suggested that clear- ance papers be refused vessels known to be carrying liquor. The British government then as now was without power to givt effect to the suggestion under existing law, which did not either in the United Kingdom or the West Indies authorize refusal of clearance papers on the ground that a vessel was believed to be engaged in the liquor trade.

MOTION PICTURE FRAUD New Haven Register Exposes Gigantic Plot in Which Thousands Are Said to Have Been Victimized. New Haven, July 19.—"Thousands of New Haveners and people in sur- rounding towns have betn victimized during the past two months by a shrewd confidence man offering at- tractive salaries and international fame in the movies for all wishing to enter upon screen life,” the New Hav- en Register says today in a story of a police investigation throughout the state to find the man. It claims that thousands of dollars have been se- cured from gullible applicants whose pictures, showing poses and costumes are in the hands of the police. Captain Donnelly of the detective bureau has had men at work tracing the promoter who is said to have had offices in this city, Bridgeport and in New York. Twice when it was decid- ed to arrest the man as manager of the concern it was found he had dis- appeared. The New Haven detective bureau says that late in May inquiries be- gan to come in from individuals con- cerning the standing of the "united movie bureau of New ngland”” which had been well advertised in the papers. An officer of the concern was found here and the manager claimed it had been incorporated in New York state. The office later changed to another address and the man there said the company had changed its name. Most of the com- plainants say they paid $7 each for membershlp in the concern and re- ceived in return a letter of congratula-~ tion upon joining and a promise to be notified when to appear to be filmed. The police say they have 1,- 500 pictures in hand of applicants for parts in the movies. N. H. ROAD STATEMENT Dismissal of Some Employees is Due to a Less Volume of Freight to Be Handled. It is Said.

Maughan on his previous dawn to dusk flight. Weather Is Ideal. Lieut. Bertram J. Sherry, weather expert from Washington, declared the weather to be almost ideal for flying saying the light winds would be to the aviator's advantage. The flier had little more than four hours sleep having retired at 11:30 last night and arising at 3:45 day- light saving time. He breakfasted on ham and egg sandwiches and coffee, After Maughan had climbed into the cockpit a bundle of New York morning newspapers still damp with the ink from the presses was handed to him. Above the roar of the engine he shouted out laughingly: “I want to be the first news vender to sell New York morning newspapers in San Francisco on the evening of the day of their publication.” To Follow Same Route, Lieut. Maughan will follow the itin- erary mapped out for his first flight on July 9 which ended in failure near St. Joseph, Mo., after the gasoline feed pipe became clogged. Four stops will be made enroute: At McCook field, Dayton, O.; municipal fleld, St. Joseph, Mo.; air mail fleld, Cheyenne, Wyo., and Salduro, Utah. When the machine alights at tif® stopping places two men will seize the wings and trundle it to the pressure pumps where benzol and gasoline will be forced into the tanks. The mechani¢ians will hurriedly~ examine the airplane for defects. His Time Schedule Maughan's schedule prepared prior to his first attempted trans-continen- al flight on a basls of 160 miles an hour average speed is the one he is using today, Counting only time in the air, not including 20 minute stops at the way stations the scheduls fol- lows: Mitchell field, Dayton—580 miles, 3 hours, 36 minutes. Dayton-St. Joseph — 560 miles, 3 hours, 25 minutes. 8t. Joseph-Cheyenne—530 miles, 3 hours, 20 minutes. Cheyenne-8alduro — 470 hours. Salduro-Crissy fleld—500 miles, hours, 6 minutes. Feeling Is Tense. There was a tense feeling in the little group which saw Maughan off today. Maughan himself had lost the smile of 10 days ago. Officlals have been unable to discover what ailed the pressure system that clogged and broke off the last trans-continental flight. Nor has the pilot been able to satisfy himself that the radiator cap, which he found over the outlet to his gasoline tank, got there acci- dentally. miles, 3 3 The 75 officers and 10 newspaper- | approach the distant men permitted to biplane were kept 100 feet by a cordon of soldiers.
