Leila Mcintyre, who comes to the
Illinois theatre next Saturday with
her co-star, John Hyams, in their new
musical success, my Home Town
Girl" is undoubtedly a favorite among
followers of musical comedy. All re-
member her in The Girl of My
Dreams" She can act with wonder
full feeling and expression that we
are unfamiliar with in the majority
of our musical commediennes, dances
with all the vim of the best of them
and has voice thoroughly trained in
quality and tone for the leading So
prano roles in light opera. Alma
Youlin, prima donna, will delight any
audience when she sings the lifting
compositions of Louis A. Hirsch. Eda
Won Luke, in a feminine character
made for her, can make an audience
laugh in her every movement and ex-
preston. And the rosebud garden of
girls-a myriad of them, they are in
evidence and will not be forgotten
soon by an audience.

ly conceal practically all their proper
ty which is in such intangible forms
as bonds and mortgages.
In order to get any revenue at all
from the small part of the bond and
mortgage property that is reported,
the states have been forced to make
the rates very high.
If the states could discover the
facts regarding the bond and mort
gage holdings of their citizens, they
would unquestiOnably reduce the tax
rates on this form of property.
The only chance they have to get
the facts is publicity of income tax
returns!
Representative HUI's argument,
therefore, is one of the strongest
reasons that could be advanced for
publicity of the income tax returns!
1t would force the bOndhOlders to
make true reports of their property
to the states, and would make it pos
sible to reduce the tax rates on this
class of property to a level with the
rates on tangible property, such as
real estate.

ARGUMENT AGAINST INCOME
TAX PUBLICITY!
BY Basil M. Manly
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE most
recent attempt to find an argument
against publicity of income tax re-
turns comes from Representative
COrdil Hull, who admits that in prin-
ciple publicity of returns is right.
He argues, however, that many
states now tax bonds and mortgages
at so high a rate that if the indi-
Vidual bond and mortgage holders
were forced by the federal govern
ment to report publicly the amount
of their income from bonds and
mortgages, and thus disclose the
true amount of their holdings, the
high state tax rates would take prac-
tically all their income from those
sources.
He further argues that in order to
avoid this high state taxation, these
people would make fraudulent re-
turns to the federal government, with
the final result that the federal treas
u WOu4u SCL 1CO0 ICNCuuG Iudu II
now does with the returns secret.
This sounds a good deal like the
old widow and orphan" wall that
used to be set up by the railroads
every time there was talk of regulat-
ing rates.
Here are the facts:
The real reason some states have
tax rates on bonds and mortgages
that seem exhorbitant is the same
reason the Democrats have been
forced to double the income tax rate
in order to get the revenue that they
need to pay for their enormous ex-
penditures for preparedness.
This is the reason for our old
friend-TaX Evasion.
If the income tax were not evaded
wholesale, it would yield at the old
rates more than the Democrats hope

BOAT OWNERS WARNED NOT TO
DUMP REFUSE IN LAKE

X Steamship owners and captains to-
day received letters from Harbor
Master A. F. Weckler telling them
that the practice of dumping garb-
age, sIops and refuse in the lake
within the eight-mile limit would
have to be stopped at once.
Investigations have proven that
there is a general disregard by the
steamboat men of the law which says
that refuse must not be dumped
boats within eight miles of Chicago's
shore. Many of the throat and stom-
ach ills and skin rashes which have
been prevalent among bathers on
Chicago beaches this summer are
the result of the boats disobeying the
health laws of the laks, physicians
believe.

War Medals or a Ballot.

An eighteen-year old girl has been
twice decorated with medals for
bravery. Her name is Emilienne
Moreau. The decorations are in
recognition of the girls conduct dur
ing the fighting at Loos, when she re-
fused shelter in cave and for TWEEN
ty-four hours tended the wounded I'M
der fire. She possesses the British
war medal given foru field service
and the French war-cross. Neither
France nor Great Britain has yet
given such heroines the right to ex-
press an opinion at the ballot-box
What dv~-you think either government
would do if Miss Moreau, on election
day, braved the perils Ct the polling
booth and dropped a war medal in
the ballot-box? How these unmili.
tary election judges would rush to
protect her from such an unwomanly
act!

Ambulance Women.


The commissioner of health of New
York has issued orders that hereafter
women nurses are to take the places
Of policemen on all health department
|ambulances. On general principles,
a nurse is naturally associated with
an ambulance. The commissioner
recognizes that on errands of mercy
good woman is often of more SER
vice than many men. There may be
a few exceptions, of course, but for
the most part these nurses will not
loaf around saloons while their pa
tents suffer in tha. street. The calls
they receive will be answered and re-
ported according to schedule. OF
even more Importance, they will al
most unconsciously promote attentive
ness and sobriety on the part of their
associates. Wonder if New York will
consider these women fit to exercise
the vote as well as policemen?
