Hanch Of indianapolis told the Senate

sumption Of the hearings on tax re-
visions. Hanch said he spoke for the

The witness gave broad review
of tax revision. Discussing also its
relation TO present business condi-
tons. he told the committee that in
his opinion it should direct efforts
toward reduction Of tax-free Sc
curities.
lie believed that if means was
found TO throttle flotation taxes ex-
empt from obligations, by the federal,
state, and local governments. a long
step would be taken toward drawing
capital back into productive enterpri-
ses in addition to the elimination Of
surtaxes on dividends Of corporations.
Harris suggested a reduction of
the higher surtaxes. rates on personal
incomes and different variation in tax
rates on active and passive invest
ments. He urged there would be no
tax on dividends but that corporate
earnings would be made to bear suf-
ficiently high leyies to provide fed
eral needs from that source.

18Th AMENDMENT AGAIN
PASSES A COURT TEST

WASHINGTON, d. c. May 10
The requirement that the prohibition
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton be ratified within seven years
by three fourth Of the states did not
invalidate the entire measure, the
Supreme Court ruled today.
The decision was given in the ap.
peal of J. J. Dillon of San Francis
CO from decisions of lower court
refusing his petition for a writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that
this limitation made the amendment
invalid. Dillon was arrested while
transporting a case of wine TO the
home of its owners.
His counsel asserted that the Sec
ton three OF the amendment origin
ally proposed by Senator Harding
placed a limitation on the action of
the state legislatures and was there
fore unconstitutional.

 As to Miss Dillon, she is best known on the Redpath and Chautauqua cir cults, where she offered a series of char acter readings. She doesn't attempt to change her costumes in limited num- Der of seconds Instead, she goes in for accuracy and careful impersonation. Each one of the eight characters is as thoroughly and carefully portrayed as if 1t were the principal role in any play. Al Racklin and Charles Doughlas, who have one part each, appear with Miss Dillon.
 Concerning Blue" Bert Kennedy, this much may be said in all safety: He chases gloom and grouches. He will in- | troduce MT. I, R. Nobody, and between them, they'll make mirth, and lots of it. Kennedy works in blackface, and sings "blusish" negro songs
