BAUER DROWNED
NEAR BAYVIEW
Loses Life in Effort to Reach
Shore Following Overturn-
ing of Canoe in Bayou.
FIVE PEOPLE IN BOAT
Bauer Recently Discharged From
Naval Air Station-Mother
in Texas Is Notified.

Robert A. Bauer, ex-sailor, was
drowned in Bayou Texar yesterday
afternoon, when a canoe in which he
and four others had been riding, was
overturned just out from the Bayview
pavilion The accident happened about
$3.50 o'clock and the body was re-
covered about o'clock. His COM
panions were all rescued by boatmen
who rushed to the scene.
In the canoe with Mr.. Bauer were
Perry Burteshaw and three young
women, the latter being picked up for
a ride shortly after the two men had
secured the boat. All members of the
party had been bathing at the pavilion.
The people in the canoe turned 1t
over in shallow water near the pavilion
and after it was righted they started
toward the opposite shore. When near
the middle of the bayou they began
rocking the canoe and it turned over
again. The two men and one of the
women started swimming toward the
pavilion, leaving the other two women
cIinging to the boat until help could
arrive from the shore.
Mr.. Bauer, who is said to have been
good swimmer, took the lead, foi-
lowed by Mr.. Burteshaw and one of
the women. Mr.. Bauer gave out and
went down. When he came up he
called for help and Mr.. Burteshaw
started toward his companion. He
went down again and did not come up
any more. ..
In the meantime, rescue boats had
reached the place where Mr.. Burte-
shaw was and threw out a line TO him,
as he was nearly exhausted, then pro-
ceeded to pick up the woman nearby.

turned canoe and rescued the two
women there.

LUXURY BUYING
Is ENORMOUS
Tax Figures Show in New York
Alone Billion Two Hundred
Million Annually Is Spent

New York, May 9-Luxurx buying
in New York is now going on at the
rate of Si,200.000,000 a year, judged by
the amount of luxury taxes-aggrega
ing t0,500,000 a month-which are be-
ing collected by William H. Edwards,
United States collector of internal rev.
enue for Manhattan. In February. ac-
cording to the collector, the govern
ment received from his office So. 1000. 900
more in luxury taxes than was paid in
any previous month in the history of
the department. The month of April
probably will exceed them all. The
receipts, he says, have been mounting
higher and higher for six months.
What some people call the orgy of
spending has not exhausted itself. -
said Mr.. Edwards today, but my men,
in their talks with merchants and 9TH
ers who pay the great bulk of the
taxes, have been told that the peak
of extravaganza seems to have been
reached and that period of retr a.ch-
ment is close at hand.
I'VE hear lot about the income and
excess profits tax which falls Cue in
the spring of every year and about the
hardships of meeting it but the fact is
that the steadiest tax. and one which
is least felt by the public and of which
we hear very little. is the luxury inn
post The poorer chap who buys his
girl an ice cream soda doesn't grumble
at the penny or two tax any more than
does the rich youth who presents his
fiancee with diamond tiara or
touring car. Neither misses it as the
item is so small as compared with the
expenditure.
"A kings ransom was spent for can
dy last December, but the biggest rev.
enue came from dealers in jewelry. furs
and automobiles.

LOWER TAXES
SOON FORECAST
At Current Rate of Income and
Expenditures Big Balance
Be Shown Year Hence.
PEAK HAS BEEN PASSED
Republican Member of Appropri-
ations Legislation Gives Out
Interesting Interview.
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.

Washington, May 9.-The peak OF
government expenditures and taxation
has been passed and the reduction of
taxes and cutting down of the public
debt is directly in sight, it was asserted
today by Congressman G. Bascom
Slemp of Virginia, republican, member
of the appropriations committee.
After taking leading part in the
efforts of the appropriations committee
during the congress session now COM
ing to close to reduce expenditures
for the next fiscal year to point
where there is a good margin below
government receipts, Mr.. Slemp is of
the opinion that with continued
economy in expenditure of government
funds the cost of running the govern
ment can be still further reduced and
the present heavy tax burden on the
people lightened.
AS a result of the work of the
present congress there will be a bal
ance of a billion and half dollars to
the government credit a year hence,
and the business men and economists
of the country should put their heads
together tos decide if it is best to re-
duce taxation or use the surplus to
reduce the floating debt, Mr.. Slemp
SAID today.
Through the pursuance by this con-
gress of a rigid policy of economy in
governmental expenditures, it will cost
three and half billion dollars to run
the government during the fiscal year
1921, or one billion and half less than
the s5,000,000,000 asked by the heads
of the various departments - said Mr..
Slemp.
OF this sum two billions will be used
to meet government obligations grow
ing out of the war, such as interest on
government bonds, benefits to service
men, $278,00O,000 for the sinking fund.
and larger expenditures for the army
and navy.
This leaves one and a half billions
to meet the normal cost of government
for the fiscal year 1921, as compared
with one, billion in 1916, the last year
before the war. The half billion in
crease is necessary for increased cost
of everything entering into the running
of the government. This indicates verv
clearly that congress has put the or
dinary cost of maintaining the govern
ment back upon a normal basis.''

Washington, May "A call to The

The only true Americanism, the
president said was THAT which puts
America at the front of the free ma

said, to attach reservations to the

AKRON SET Ties
Home SHORTAGE
Tire Manufacturing Companies
Keep Rent Profiteer Away
by Easy Payment Plan

Akron O., May 9.-(SpeciaD. D.-When
home, shortage means labor shortage
and industry is menaced, the time for
Itheorizing, Investigating and legislatins
has passed.
Business brains have assailed. the
problem, and in this city, capital OF
the tire and rubber world, 2,400 fam
lilies are occupying dwellings in which
they are absolutely safe from the de-
predations of profiteering landlords.
Akron suffers as acutely as any city
from the lack of housing facilities. The
president of the Akron Builders Ex-
change says that the city is in press
ing need of 10000 additional homes.
Banks will not advance money for
building operations, because the re-
turns are relatively small and there
are too many profitable industrial Sc
curities to be had.
The high prices of materials and
labor deter contractors from putting
up homes and it therefore became a
question with the great tire factories
whether they would be able to attract
and hold the class of skilled workers
necessary to continue operations.
Eight years ago the beginnings of
the emergency were seen and the
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. created
it's housing and home building bureau
laid out it's model subdivisions in East
Akron and commenced selling homes
to it's employees at cost, on easy terms.
The company bought and improved
the land and turned over completed
homes to family men for a cash pay
ment of but per sent of the purchase
price, with rent and insta,iments at
per cent per month. In other words,
the occupant of a home worth $4,000
pays $3.50 down, AMI gives the cora
pany $50 month, while outside the
subj ision less desirable houses Of
similar size rent for s125.
IRE Goodyear deiSh-s Realty Co.,

pcrded So 200 to ins1.e stable

PLAN BIG Time
FOR july four
Temporary Chairman Appoint.
ed by Mayor Sanders to Or
ganize General Committee

Mayor Sanders has designated a
committee. of which w. C. Diffenderfer
is temporary chairman, to make ar
rangements for Fourth Of July cele-
zration in the city. The committee
organization is still embryonic but it
is expected that nearly every business
and professional man will be given a
place.
Plans have been discussed for some
time, relative to a general celebration
at Pensacola and the general outline
now includes swimming events at Bay
view Park, morning and afternoon. a
track meet and other events at Maxent
Park in the morning, bicycle races
morning and afternoon, baseball at
Maxent Park in the afternoon. picnic
at Palmetto beach. and fireworks.
probably at Maxent Park in the eve
ming.
AS has been suggested, the plans
are still in process of evolution and 1t
is expected the committee membership
will be given out and a general meet
ing called early this week.
The underlying idea Of the plan IS
to have a municipal celebration in
which every age can have a part. so
that there will be something of inter
est for young and old. 1t is also
planned to make the celebration broad
enough in its scope so that residents
in every part of the city can have
part in it without having to travel too
far from home.
