Michigan Votes to
Remain Bone Dry
By, Big Majority
specie! Correspondence

Special Correspondence
DETROIT, April 8.-QAsrwhelmin
defeat of the beer and wine amend
ment, which has been beaten in most
counties by q larger vote than that
which carried the prohibition mend
ment in 1915, is assured by returns
from all parts of Michigan. The peo-
pie OF Detroit voted wet by q majority
Of some $4,000, but the heavier state
vote defeated the measure
The majority for the state can only
be estimated but i. is believed i25,000
will be fair figure This majority out
in the state is more striking because
Detroit voted wet in a dry state. The
county of Wayne, which went wet by
6,426 in 1916, voted by several times
this majority Monday for the beer and
wine amendment.
In Wayne and Detroit 329 out of
364 precincts gave the vets Se.203;
drys, 56,494. One thousand and fifty
three upstate precincts outside De-
troir gave the vets 1882; drys, 244,-
Tl5 A total OF 1882 precincts, in
cluding Wayne, gives the vets 206,-
5S5; drys, sol, ,209. Drys majority is
$4,000 plus.
The results of Kalamazoo, Grand
Rapids, Flint. Lansing, Jackson and
Detroit were beyond the drys' strong
est expectations, and they now ac-
count for the returns only on the
basis that the widespread and open
defiance of law in Detriot and along

Jersey Senate Passes
Tunnel Committee Bill
s 900, 200 Appropriation
Measure To BE Introduced
in House To-day


TRENTON, April s.-The Senate to-
day passed House amendments to the
bridge and tunnel improvement legis-
lation whereby the New Jersey Bridge
and Tunnel Commission is empowered
to delegate working power to small
committee, such committee to act in
conjunction with similar committee
from the New York and Pennsylvania
commissions having charge OF the
bridge and tunnel projects. The bill
is now ready for the signature of
Governor Edge
One Of the important bills passed
by the House was that OF Assembly,
man Cochran authorizing Atlantic
City to provide a site and to erect
thereon building or buildings Tor
the permanent headquarters of the
league of nations. Under the bin
Atlantic City may arrange for the
headquarters and present them 20 the
state, to be turned over to the league
OF nations.
The annual appropriations bill,
which will appropriate about S13,500-
600 for all state purposes for the fiscal
year beginning July /, will be in
troduced in the House tomorrow
morning. Among the large items is
s1,00o,OoO for preliminary work in
connection with construction OF the
Philadelphia Camden bridge and the
New YorkJcrsey City tunnel.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-09

nomic life of the country would be
seriously ieopardized.
1T is reported that the individual
income tax at per cent is expected to
yield $4,000, 600. l am convinced that
the estimate is entirely too high.
DO not know upon what basis it was
made. 1t is the opinion of the Con-
troller's office that such law will re-
turn not more than S26.00O,O0O."
Briefly stated, the Controllers OBJ
Jections to the Davenport bill are:
First, because no deduction is al
lowed on account Of income taxes paid
to the Federal government.
Second, income from state and mun-
cipal obligations heretofore issued is
exempt, but income on future issues
is to be taxed. That may be correct
in theory but in actual practice the
effect will be to the detriment of the
state and its political subdivisions
Third, income from mortgages on
real property and Of investments upon
which a secured debt tax or an invest
ment tax was paid prior to June /,
1917, is to be taxed.
Objects to Tax on Bad Debts
Fourth. the failure to allow a deduc-
ton on account of bad debts not ac-
tually charged off is unreasonable, and
not in sympathy with business custom
or good accounting practice.
Fifth--lt is provided in Section 35S
that net incomes shall be computed ir
accordance with the method of account
ing regularly employed in keeping the
books Of the taxpayer, but in Sub
division Z Of Section $50, it is said
with reference to the deduction OF
worthless debts charged off during the
year, that a taxpayer shall be allowed
to cdeduct only the amount of debts
ascertained to be worthless and charged
off within the taxable year" Such an
arbitrary rule is unfair. l realize that
in this respect the provision of the
Federal statute has been followed
nevertheless, that does not make ii
right.
Sixth-The provision regarding the
withholding of income of nom residents
at its source is complicated and op-
pressivc. 1t requires every person who
pays rent or interest on a mortgage
or salary or compensation, or income
of any nature, to nonresident of the
state, to withhold 2 per cent thereof
mission.
Discourages Outside Capital
This provision will have the effect
VI olScOuraGlng dealings with nOn-resi-
dents, or deterring residents of other
states from being employed or invest.
ing capital in New York, and of calling
mortgages Oh real property within the
state. Our state is so situated that
nonresident capital should be en-
couraged to invest in industry, busi-
ness and commerce within the state
not discouraged.
Laurence Mcclure, of the New Yorl,
Real Estate Board, said the measure
was so replete with iniquities and in
sufflciencics that it should be re-
jected.
Suggests More Economy
what the state needs is not more
extravaganza and more money, but
more economy" said MIR. Mcclure.
"Such measure would be faircr than
this state income tax"
Controller Craig of New York City
and others interested in the finances
of the municipalities and the state
we're also on hand to speak against
the state income tax. They did not
get an opportunity to speak to-day.
They will be heard tomorrow.

1000 Bakers Start
Increment to Abolish
Their AU-Night Work

Concerted action is being planned by
about 1000 bakers of this city to bring
about the abolition OF night work
Italian, French, Polish, Jewish and
German-spcaking bakers are distribut-
ing among their organizations mani
fcstoes in three languages inscribed
Might Work in the Bake Shops Must
Co." and all the bakers unions are in
dorsing legislation introduced at AL
bakeries after 9 p. I'M.
"Bakers Of All Nationalities," runs
one manifesto, "the propitous hour for
the liberation from the murderous
night work has come; such moral and
material slavery shall cease, and thus,
by working by the day hours, the sani-
tary and labor inspectors will bring the
social laws in our favor, laws which
have been forgotten.
For years many Of our comrades
have worked in putrid and anti-hygcnic
Easements, and thousands of them lie
in the cemeteries, victims of tubcrcu-
while others though in poor health
work among us. thus constituting a
menace to our health"
Another manifesto, issued by TIE
Journcymen Bakers and Confectioners'
international Union Of Greater New
York, says tho baker has been the
slave Of slaves. and that in Scot
land, Norway, Italy, Finland, Greece
and other countries night work in
bakeries has been abolished
The movement against night work is
divided into two parts, one of which
IS merely indorsing the bill at Albany,
the other threatening a strike if 1t is
not passed.
The more aggressive faction among
the bakers is typified by the Italian

Striking Scholars
Unless They Behave

just when tho boy nnd rirl prnils
Of the Emerson High School, Of West

mean old law ruined their propaganda
Now it's likely the only striking done
in the ranks OF the pupils will be Of
the od-fasioned woodahcd and slippcr
variety, unless the boys and girls
behave.
1t all came about because of the dis
missal of George w. Robbins, who has
been principal Of tho school for ten
years and who attained more or less
popularity with the students in that
time. When protests proved futile, the
scholars cn1latod the recent "no beer
no work" tactics of their elders, and
paradcd the streets of the town carry
ing banners reading "No Robbins, no
school,"
But they were wrong.
Inc police stepped in and shared

arraigned before Recorder Cutler on
charges Of disorderlv conduct. Re-

and behave or they would go to re-
formatory.

Saloon Open in CHICAGO

GHlCAGO, April s.-scores of
~ khaki-clad men turned in to-day
at the sign Of an oldtme saloon only
to find themselves in the first sub
stltute saloon opened in Chicago by
the Salvation Army. The swinging
doors. the long mirrors and the Back
bar were in evidence. But the free
lunch" counter had changed to coffee
ana doughnut stand, while bizarre
PICTURES had yielded to the canlou-
feurs brush. Some nymphs were
given garb and beer stems were
turned to flower pots.
Besides the Salvation lass1es, sew

The women voters receive their
share of credit for the dry victory.
1t is stated at dry headquarters that
as far as an analysis can be made.
the male dry strength remained just
ABOUT what it was and that the women
supplied the. overwhelming end of
the victory.
TIE results from Detroit show a
slight increase in male wet sentiment,
and reports from the foreign inhabited

strongly for the wet amendment as the
men. But results in all other manu-

|, is known that several others
were committed In the city in the
last "a hours which were not re-
ported to the police by the persons
vict,mized.
Police are Desperate.
The recent operations of criminals
in Omaha have driven Commissioner
Ringer and Chief Eberstein almost
to desperation, and orders have been
issued to the captains at the station
to- withhold from newspapers re-
ports of crime committed in the city
Under the present plan only linn
tied number of the reports of crime
are given out for publication.

FRISCO PETE" IS
IDENTIFIED AS
LIQUOR THIEF
Deputy Sheritts Make Arrest
While Police Seek to
Explain Away Their
Indifference.

While members of the police de-
partment devoted their undivided
efforts to get Charles Storz to re-
pudiate an interview given to The
Bee by Frederick Storz in regard
to the theft Of large quantity of
wine from the Storz residence Fri
day afternoon, deputy sheriffs were
attending to the duties which police
men neglected.
The result is, that one of the cul-
prits who, impersonating an officer,
entered the Storz home and then
the cellar while members of the
household were attending a funeral
and stole $1,000 worth of liquor, mas
been identified.
Frisco Pete" alias Henry
Wedgeworth, was recognized as one
of the men by Mrs. E. Van Court
and Miss Verda Lytton, who saw
the two men enter the house and
leave with the wine. Frisco Pete"
was arrested when he was caught
delivering a quantity of whisky to
house on Binney street. He is be-
ing held in the county Jail. The
two women faced the man in his
ceu yesterday and positively iden-
titled him as one of the men who
stole the liquor from the Storz resi-
dence.
So far as is known, the extent of
the efforts of the police to appre
hene. the thieves has been to cali at
the Storz residence and obtain de
scription of the thieves. Frederick
Storz called at The Bee office Sat
urday morning and told a reporter
that the indifference manifested by
the officers when they talked to the
members of the family was disgust
ing
