Proposes Graduated Tax OF

Permit cf Bonus to Iowa Soldiers.

Mason City. Dec. 22.-Entirely new
methods for raising revenues to meet
additional expenses for the state of
Iowa which the readjustment Of sol-
ciers' compensation and Improvement
and extensions to the present educa-
tional system will entail should be de-
vised, in the opinion OF State. Sem
ator ]. E. Wichman, Of Garner. With
this in mind he has drawn a bill
WHICH Will call for direct inheri-
lance tax. on estates netting SIS, 900
or over.
IT believe" says Senator W1ch-.
man, that one Of the most import
ant things the next legislature will
have to 10 will be to devise new
sources OF revenue to relieve the
strain OF taxation on tangible prop
erty.
While every effort should be made
to hold down expenses and relieve
this strain in that way, those who
have studied this question know that
it will hef impossible to prevent sad-
ditional expenses for our educational
institutions. and the passing of a
soldiers compensation law will entail
a large increased expenditure. I am
firmly convinced that such expenses
and as much of the ordinary ex-
new methods OF raising revenues,
that would not be a hardship on the
ordinary taxpayer.
II have in mind introducing bill
for a. direct inheritance tax on es-
tates netting $4,000 or over; making
a graduated: tax Of perhaps 1 per
cent on estates from $4,000 to $780,
900, 2 per cent on estates from $50. 600
to 100000, and about 8 per cent on
estates ever 100000. This would be
no greater burden on any one and
would affect only those who could
afford it. A large amount Of revenue
could be raised In that way that we
would otherwise have ito raise by q
millage tax on property.
Every northern state hut Iowa.
now has such tax; Minnesota raises
more than $2,000.00O a year in that
way. and iowa, believe should fol-
low suit,
"Other sources Of revenue might be
developed such as higher tax on
insurance companies and other cor
porations. but care should always BE
exercised that the new tax can not be
too easily charged to the. consumer:
This is harder to do with an inheri-
tanee tax than any other tax and
1t Is fer that reason believe a we'll
graduated tax Of that kind would
bring the general taxpayer more res
lief than any other"

Ottumwa, Dec. 22.-Ottumwa anna
teur radio operators, bothered for
the past two years by some unknown
and hitherto INDICATED energy which
has been interfering with the current
waves Of their radio instruments,
have solved the mystery thru the eff
forts of William Harper. Jr., one of
the youthful enthusiasts, who has
spent much time and labor seeking
the source of the mysterious power
which has been subtracting energy
from radio outfits in this vicinity
and forcing the sound waves to fall
short Of their usual standard.
Just as Harper had equipped his
plant to catch messages from as far
off as South Africa this mysterious
energy sprung up and crushed his
hopes. The Interference. of this
power would last for hours at time,
and was forcing the young man to
believe there was some defect in his
Instruments. Before giving way to
this conclusion. however, he secured
what Is known as radio compass"
a portable affair so arranged that 1t
can be strapped to ones back. and
used for detecting just such hidden
energy as was bothering Harper and
hts colleagues.
Several days ago Harper-after al
most year OF futile attempts to To-
cate the mystery-started out with
his radio Compass. Upon reaching
the central part Of the city the ma
chine suddenly registered, while
Harper was standing directly in front
Of sanatorium. He entered the
