INCREASED TAXES
MAY REDUCE SEATS
OF LOCAL MOVIES"
UNJUST AND UNFAIR BURDEN
PLACED UPON FAvoRlTE
PLACES or AMUSEMENT.
GETS NO POPULAR APPROVAL
Vogue VIII Come Within the Four
Hundred Limit and 1t Is Likely
That the Same Thing Will Be Done
With the New Grand.

AS the result Of the heavy Increase
IN the taxes on moving picture shows.
at least one and probably all Of the
picture houses of Columbia will re-
duce their seating capacities. The
tax is SO high now, when the county
and city leVies are added to the stats
license, that it becomes real bur-
den on the movies" and they will be-
forced to reduce the number Of seats
in order to cut the tax down.
The Vogue, the newest Of the nov
ing picture houses and almost a mod
ell in construction, announced today
that 1t would be necessary to take our
few seats in order to get the seat
ing capacity down where the tax
woud be at all tolerable. This house
now seats 435 persons and by reduc-
ing the number of seats to 400 or lesa
quite a considerable sum In taxes can
be saved.
Even by cutting the seats down to
the 400 limit the taxes are going to
be very burdensome, for taking tha
state county and city levies altogeth-
er, the cost will be around $50 per
month or taxes of an even dollar a.
day whether running closed.
The number of seats in the grand
opera house, while used as a moving
picture theatre, may also be reduced
to 300 or 400. Being ten cent house
the cost will be even greater thaH
that of the Vogue. 1t may be that
Manager Buchnau will reduce tempo
rarily the seating capacity and when
the big road shows come in the fall
and winter the seats can be restored.
These are problems that have not yet
been worked out
There is general dissatisfaction
"nnohs the people here with the pro-
visions of the new revenue law. The
heavy burdens placed on the "movies'
ID not a popular move. The moving
picture shows give every one, no mat
ter how poor, chance to spend a
pleasing and entertaining evening.
They are not only a source of fine
amusement to the people, but thew
are instructive. For these reasons
there is no enthusiasm over the eff
forts to tax the life out of them. ON
the other hand the itinerant mer.
chants were given almst clean bin
Of health when it was hoped that they
should pay some reasonable share or
taxes.

gether with the fees of the clerk and
the county levy made the cost to this
gentry 1925 for three months. The
new law imposes tax of $3.50 for
the state. The cost of the license now
will be $5.25, an actual reduction of
nearly 20 per cent This shows how
much faith is to be placed in the
pledges of Tennessee legislators. The
local delegation that appeared before
the legislative committee was solemn
ly assured that the tax on peddlers
would be made $40 per annum and
would have to be paid by the year.
No part of those promises were kept.
1t is altogether probable that Chair
man Bauman and the local commit
tee will institute an investigation to
determine who "laid down on" the
Board OF Trade.

NO TRIALS NOW IN
CRIMINAL COURT
JUDGE M'kNIGHT SIMPLY HOLDS
OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS AND
INDICTMENTS.

County criminal court is adjourning
this month from Wednesday to Wed.
nesday. On those days Judge Nc
knight receives any indictments that
may be certified to the court and also
takes any submissions from defend
ants who desire to plead guilty. IT,
however, there should be an accumu-
lation of cases where the defendants
demanded trials or were in Jail, the
court would then hear the cases. At
this time, however, it is difficult to
get jurors. With the circuit court in
session and the farmers just as busy
as they possibly can be it is quite a
task for the court to find jurors and
consequently only such cases as are
necessary to be tried in order to serve
the ends Of justice or save unnecessa-
ry costs are being heard.

For the length of time it fell Colum
Dla and parts of Maury county had
the hardest rain on Sunday known in
many years. In period of less than
half an hour an inch and third OF
rain fell. To be exact the rainfall be.
tween 1880 and IL o'clock noon was

to the report Of W. 0. Cherry, volunta.

rain is heavy precipitation, even
when scattered over a period of sew
eral ahours, but when 1t all comes
In a very few moments it almost as
sumes the proportions of cloudburst.
AS far as heard from there was no
serious ramage from the rain except
where fields were washed. A good
deal of land was torn away where II
had been newly worked. There was
considerable wind accompanying the
rain and this blew down much of the
advanced corn and did some damage
In the wheat and oats fields. Aside
from the food feature of the rain 1t
will prove of much benefit, especially
to corn fields which generally are
clean in the county.
In portions of the county only
good shower fell and in some sections
there was not even season" How.
ever, no part of the county is suf-
fering for lack of moisture, something
that we could not say army times
during the past two years. v
Farmers are busy as bees all over
the county. Wheat harvest is on in
full blast. cats are almost ready for
the reaper and corn Is being worked
almost every week. In addition to
this hay saving is going on, ground is
being turned for late corn and peas.
Altogether this is about the busiest
season imaginable for the Maury
county farmers. All of them are tax.
