YALE MANS TAX POLICY
HEAD POLITICAL ECONOMY
BEFORE SENATE
General Sales Plan To Make
Consumption Tax Pay Gov
eminent Way -
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]


Washington, May 25-Belief that
advocates of a general sales tax plan
ultimately to make the consumption
tax pay the way 3of the goverHment.
was expected today before the sen :
ate finance COMMITTEES by r. r. Pair
child, professor of political economy
at Yale University. He declared the
issue raised was whether the sales
tax could surplant the income tax
as the chief burden bearers.
Chairman Penrose decided that
so far as he knew. the income taA
had come to stay. Senator La Fol-
lette, republican Wisconsin took
issue with him, however, saying that
he felt that I'VE had reached the
beginning of the end of the income
tax when a sales tax becomes a part
of the revenue system"
Mr.. Fairchild proposed. as a part
of the tax policy, adoption of a con-
stitutional amendment permitting
states to tax federal bonds and the
federal government to levy on state
securities. 1t was said that such d
plan would serve the dual purpose of
raising additional revenue and of
checking the fiotation of state securi-
ties. Mr. Fairchild said the action
could not be construed as an attack
on the sovereignty of the states.

MAN HUNTING IN CITIES
ARMING OF POLICE HAS
BEEN CHANGED
Substitution, of Pump-Gun for
, The Rifle Is Latest
Development
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. !

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch1
Chicago, May 25.-Substitution Of
the shot gun for the rife is the latest
development in man hunting by the
Chicago police. The time -honored
rife-squad has given away to the
pump gun squad. The reason for the
change was thus outlined by Michael
Hughes, chief of detectives:
I'm close range fighting the pump
gun is much the more efficient
weapon, for with ninety feet Of the
objective it has a spread Of four feet.
Each shot carries nine rounds of
lead, corresponding in size to that in
a thirty eight revolver bullet"
"In street fighting, also, the
chances of hitting the innocent by
stander are greatly minimized by the
use of the shot gun because the eff
fectiye range is so short"
New Use For Shot Gun
1.-THE other day we discovered a
new use for the shot gun. During a
race after bandits In an automobile,
through the rear curtain of the
speeding machine ahead. The hail
of bullets stopped that car as no rife
shot would ever have done"
THE gun we use has the shortest
stock. Every one of the detective
cars carries these guns as regular
equipment" Another innovation in
the detective bureaus equipment is
a steel shield, as high as mans
head, from behind which the opera
tives can direct, in comparative safe
ty, their fire at bandits barricaded in
tnilding. This portable armor is
mounted on rollers, and is light
enough, so that one man can operate
II. Port holes, through which to fire,
and heavy glass peep hole are ap
purtenances.
Bombing, which Is now a recogniz-
ed part of police tactics in. Chicago,
can be carried on with great impuu-
ity from the shelter of this shield,
said Chief Hughes.
