South Bend Man to
Ask Cut in Loan Tax


SOUTH BEND, Ind. July 2S.-A
South Bend man, X. V. Haymaker, chair
man Of a building and loan association,
will appear before the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives to urge that incomes up to $500
derived from Investments in building and
loan associations be exempt from in
come tax.
This will stimulate building, according
TO Mr. Haymaker who was at one time
financial adviser to the United States
Housing Corporation, aud who was
called TO Washington by the National
Committee Of the Associated Building
and Loan Organizations.
This is Mr.. Haymaker's plan:
THE Government. by waving $1,000
in taxes. would release half a million
dollars for building loans. $500 repre-
sents the interest on an investment Of
$4,000 in building and loan societies.
at per cent The Government tax on
this income. at per cent would be
only $50 Thus by waving this small
amount the Government would divert
SO 900 into capital for building loans

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Mrs. G., Ohio-Tm, sorry that you
didn't give me your address; I'd have
liked to answer your letter personally,
instead of through the columns Of
newspaper
Finding your daughter may be rather
difficult, as she may have registered
at one of the motion picture agencies
or studios under some name other than
her own. Since she ran away from home
to go into pictures she would be quite
likely to do this. However, she would
register with an agent or with the casting
director at the different studios and a
description of her would be given on her
card in their files. So I would suggest
tAdt YOU write to the casting directors
at the different studios, and to the agent
whose address you found in her desk,
and ask if any one answering her de-
scription had registered with them re-
Gently. l am sure that they will help
you in every way possible, and you may
be sure that I viii keep my eyes open
for her, too. ! hope from the bottom
Of my heart that you will find her

Potato Crop Hurt
by Dry Conditions

NOBLESVILLE, Ind, July 2S--The In
dicatlons point to an almost complete
failure Of the late potato crop in central
Indiana The early crop was also prao-
tically a failure, Farmers attribute this
TO the drought. Those who have begun
to dig their potatoes say that they have
found only one or two in each hill.
The wheat crop IN the central part OF
the State has been marketed and eleva-
tor men say that the average yield has
ranged from eight to twelve bushels to
the acre, which Is the smallest in many
years. As n rule the quality has been
so poor that farmers are receiving less
than 81 bushel for their grain and as
low as 90 cents for some of 1t. The oat
crop in this section has averaged be
tween fifteen and twenty bushels to the
acre.

A Word About Foreign Films

| Last evening | saw The Golem"
German picture. I don't know whether
1t is to be released throughout the coun-
| try or not; 1 have heard that it might
not be, because of the protests against
some of the foreign pictures which were
shown a while ago
But I think it might be well to make
an exception In this case. For not only
| is 1t an unusual production, but it is one
| from which We can learn a good deal
! Anyway, I did. For instance. in it man
| lays his hand on a rock He does 1t in
such a way that you actually get the feel
ing Of that rock you know that it is
hard, firm substance, not something soft,
Ike a bed. That Is q thing which the
European actor is taught to do-to convey
impressions to the feelings Of the audi
ence by the way in which he touches OBJ
jects so they get the sensation, in a de-
gree, which he gets.
Then, too, the sets are very interesting
and absolutely different from the sort Of
thing that most of us do ever here. They
also convey state of mind, instead OF
being merely conventional backgrounds
for story of this type.
But think that the story is the m, -.
interesting thing. 1t is based on an O!d.
old legend 1t Is almost Incredible of
course. yet there is historical foundation
for it. 1t is the story OF a clay figure
made in the image Of man, and given life,
only to prove a destructive force until
little child destroys his power.
OF course these foreign films are nearly
always spectacular; they never are inti-
mate gHmpses of ordinary people, as 50
many of our most popular releases arc.
They show great mobs, palaces. royalty.

Make Effort to Tax
Burlington Railroad
Property Near Alliance

Alliance. Neb., June 12.-(Special.l J
Many thousand dollars worth OF
Burlington railroad property which
has hitherto escaped city taxation
will be brought under city assess
ment, if the efforts of the county
commissioners and State Tax Com
missioner w. H. Osborne are sue
cessful.
Mr.. Osborn came to Alliance at
the request of the county board and
inspected the railroad right-of-way,
on which is located large amount
Of valuable property on which the
city is not receiving taxes. due TO the
fact that the south corporate line OF
the city runs through the center OF
the right-of-way. with nearly all of
the more valuable property, includ-
ing most of the machine shops.
stock yards and round house, just
over the line in a country precinct.
The right-of-way contains ap-
proxinlately 100 acres OF ground
which, Mr.. Osborne stated is more,
he believes, than is allowable by the
state tax board, which has jurisdic-
ton over all railroad right-of-way
property and roadbeds.
