trict, who will be expected to arrange
for and hold the meeting, at which
meeting some one will explain to the
taxpayers the program for their ap-
proval.
i Ways and Means
The program which will be pro-
posed to the legislature will suggest
ways and means by which the state
property tax may be reduced from
40 to so per cent, and at the same
time equalize the burden Of taxation,
so that the tax burden on property
VIII be gradually reduced.
Acting under instructions from the
Taxpayers association, the executive
committee is prepared to suggest to
the taxpayers the following program
for new sources Of revenue: Gasoline
tax, 100000; occupation tax, $780,
600; Inheritance tax, S250,000; in
crease in the corporation license tax,
S250,O00; increase in the pu'ol:c serv-
ice corporation franchise tax, $780,
600; income tax, 100000, and
luxury tax, $15O,O00. If the general
assembly will enact the above tax laws
it will produce approximately ST.
100000, the committee says.
The gasoline tax will be applied to
road maintenance and will take the
place Of the two mill property tax for
roads. The occupation tax will be
placed on occupations and profess
sions not otherwise taxed, such, for
instance, as brokers, etc. 4 gradual
ed inheritance tax, the details of
which will be worked out by the legis-
lature, will raise considerable reve-
nue.. An increase in the corporation
license tax from one to two mills was
recommended, and also an increase in
the public service corporation fran
chise tax from three to five mills. The
committee favors a luxury tax.
Rigid Economy
The committee repeated the recon-
mendation Of the meeting Of the tax
association that most rigid economy
be used in the state government.
In studying the tax situation, the
committee is convinced that one Of
the causes of complaint is due to the
fact that the people themselves have
voted special levies for local pur-
poses, which, in many instances, far
exceed the amount necessary for state
purposes. Therefore, the committee
earnestly recommended most rigid
economy in county expenditures.
A committee representing the Co.
lumbia Automobile association ap-
peared before the executive commit
tee and called attention to their road
Improvement program, and expressed
desire to cooperate in the tax reform
movement.

Belisarius was the chief military

and probably one of the greatest gen.

and died in 565, spending, in his life
time, nearly forty years in military
service. His soldierly skill renewed
for q time the ancient military glory
of Rome, and he earned the title OF
1.-THE Africanus of New Rome" His
career as a general Is divided into two
epochs, the war against the Vandals
and that against the Goths. In both
wars he was so successful that he was
given a triumphal entry into the city
Of Constantinople-the then Roman
capitalize first that had graced that
city, and the first In any part Of the
empire since the days of Tiberius.
Like many another favorite of a
great ruler, Belisarius was finally the
victim of false accusation of con-
spiracy, and was degraded and re-
duced to poverty. Around his last
years many legends arose. The best
known Of these is that he wandered.
blind and destitute. from door to door,
asking sims and crying Date obolum

Belisarlus,). His sufferings have
been the subject of numerous literary.

have kept alive this story, which is
entirely without foundation.

"GAS, OIL AND WATER" AT
REX THEATER TONIGHT

Charles Ray, whose latest First
National. attraction, "Gas, Oil and
Water" will be featured at the Rex
theater is screen actor who has
the faculty of making every role in
which he appears distinctive. From
his earliest appearance as busher
in the major leagues, when he won
instant popularity as screen favor
tie, to his more recent triumphs as
transformer, pug and artist, his
work has been characterized by in
dividuality that has had many i'm
;tators but no equals.
The young star has another un-
usual part as George Olive Watson
the "Gas. Oil and Water" man who
is doing the governments Z secret
service work along the Mexican
border in his latest picture, Young
George has concealed his activities
with a veil of gasoline, operating a
broken down garage to provide some
excuses for his appearance where
every stranger is instantly tabulated
and put through the third degree.
The development of the plot prom
ises a blend of comedy and melo.
drama. The reversion to the old
type detective story is one that the
star has often been urged to adopt;
and a plot of this nature combined
with the usual Ray mannerisms and
twists of humor gives every assur-
ance of that this picture will rank
high among the stars recent pro-
ductions. -.
Charolette Pierce, who has played
opposite Ray in "The transformer"
is leading woman and gives a cap
able performance as the daughter of
a "booster" hotel proprietor. Like
all the stars recent pictures, "Gas,
Oil and Water" was directed by
Charles Ray himself.
