Messrs. E. H. Newly and r. l..

the brick yards in East Denison with
a view Of purchasing the property.

Mr. Newly has. had constde derable
experience with brick and tile fac

aging a large plant owned by his
father at Lynnville. Mr.. Towne has
been engaged in the drug business,
having just sold out his interests at
Lynnville.5 It was difficult matter
for the gentlemen to get an idea Of
the local yards as the clay pit is COW
cred with snow, but they spent consid-
cradle time going over the property,
making Investigations.
The brick yards are now owned by
Robert Theobald, who is now living
on a farm near Astor. For several
years he conducted the plant but was
compelled to give it up for various
reasons. Since the plant has been
closed down the Commercial club has
been endeavoring to get capital inter-
ested in it with a view Of opening it
up again.
There is no question but what the
property could be made to pay hand
some dividend il properly managed.
There is an abudance of clay within
close proximity to the plant. 1t is
said that the clay is far superior to
any in this section of the state and is
especially adapted to tile products.
Since the property has been shut
down all brick used in this territory
has been shipped in, where heretofore
it was made Aght here in Denison
and sold for miles around.
Both gentlemen expressed them
selves as we'll pleased. with the pro-
erty, providing it could be purchased
right, and of course it would be nee
essary for them to make extensive
before reopening the
plant 1t is hoped that Mr.. Theobald
can be induced to sell the old yards at
a price which they cannot afford to
turn down.

Carroll Business Men Moved 70 Action
On Account of the Scarcity Of the i:
Houses, To Rent. II

Over at Carroll movement is on
foot to organize a stock company for
the purpose of erecting modern APP
partmtnt house some time in the near
future, to cost in the neighborhood of
s75,O00.OO. Carroll is now facing the
same condition which has existed in
Denison for several years and the
business men and capitalists at that
place realize the advantages of such
building and what it will mean in
bringing more families to the city.
1t is planned to secure a site locat-
ed somewhere near the center of the
city and to erect handsome structure
with about IT'S rooms. OF course such
a building will be highly profitable
investment for. those who put their
money into it as well as improving the
town to great extent. With a thoro-
ly modern building there would be no
possibility of trouble in finding les

the line of the Northwestern between
Boone and Council Bluffs, something
along this line must be done Some,
however, believe that an apartment
house would not prove to be paying
investment. Towns much smaller than
Denison have such buildings and we
believe that they pay handsome re-
turns on the money invested, Up at
Sac City last year a commOdious ap-
partment house was built and every
room was rented before the building
was completed. Many travelling men,
on account Of the excellent railroad
connections and fine schools. would
like to make their home in Denison
but on account of the lack of suitable
houses to rent they are unable to do
so. There would be no difficulty in Sc
curing suitable sight for an apart
ment house here in Denison, one near
the business section OF the city. which
would be conveniently located for the
travelling men and business men as
well. There is plenty of capital right
here in Denison that would be avail
able for such an undertaking if some
one would get back ofathe movement.
This is something the Commercial
Club and business men Of Denison
should investigate. s. i,Iogt

Federal Tax on Autos.

Federal Tax on Autos.
Proposed new federal license tax on
motorcycles and automobiles based up
on the original selling cost in lieu of
the house manufacturers tax, was ex-
planned as follows:
"A gross tax upon automobile man
ufacturers was first considered, but on
thorough investigation It appeared that
over 80 per cent were maldng very
small profits. A few were making
enormous profits. A gross production
tax in size sufficient to produce q SUBJ
stantial return would have driven out
OF business large majority Of automo-
bile manufacturers. Your committee
concluded that the automobile was a
proper subject for a war revenue tax
and recommends for the high gross
sales tax, which might or might not
be passed on to the purchaser, q mod
crate excise tax upon the owners OF
automobiles and motorcycles',
Movie Houses eliminated.
Declaring that the new tax on cab
arets and retention Of taxes on other
amusement admissions Is justifia'ble,
the report said the tax on moving pic
ture theaters charging less than rs
cents had been eliminated because:
"The moving picture show has be-
come i national Institution. It pos

lures. They are largely patronized 10y

House taxes on club dues were elm
mated, the report said because it was
difficult to reach clubs properly taxable
and at the same time exempt those
which should not be taxed.
Most house stamp taxes, virtually
those Of Spanish war days the report
said. have been retained. The new T.
cent stamp tax on bank checks. it was
said, was provided because prevalent In

this source, which would yield sub
