PLAYERS RISK LIVES
in The "CO-CETTER"

Several minor accidents marked
the filming of certain scenes for the
Paramount Cosmopolitan production
*The Go-Getter," coming to the Lib
erty theatre next Thursday and Fri
day. Seena Owen, playing the
leading feminine role, was slightly
bruised by the wing of the Curtis
airplane used in the production. and
the leading man, T. Roy Barnes,
risked his life by standing on the
tracks in the path of a swiftly ap-
preaching train, jumping to safety
when the engine was only a few feet
away. "The Go-Getter is an excel

Beats The
French Contender

Tommy Gibbons of st. Paul de-
cisively defeated Georges Carpen-
tier of France in a 10-round inter
national contest at Michigan City,
Indiana, Saturday afternoon before
a crowd that filled the sky-blue
arena to capacity.
Gibbons won virtually every
round and had his opponent in dis
tress a dozen times. In the ninth
round, after a lively exchange Car
pentier sank to the floor of the ring
indicating to his handlers that he
had injured his right ankle. He
struggled to his feet, however, and
finished the contest, limping badly.

the imam on the street." brought
the conclusion that the resentment
against the bonus bill was founded
on the belief that it was the great
est deterrent to reduction in taxes.
Some used the arguments that it
was a reflection upon the patriot
ism of the American soldier" that
it was "an attempt to capture the
class vote of the support of for
mer service men," The most sen
sible argument advanced covered
the claim that many states had
made provision for a bonus which
was a direct tax on the citizens of
that particular state and a national
bonus could only be considered an
unfair imposition in the form of a
double-tax. There were Republi-
cans and Democrats in these states
who were absolutely sincere in their

The first jury trial held in JUS

belief that "this recognition (the
bonus) has long been due to those
who sacrificed themselves during
the war" The bonus bill is now a
law and has met with general ap-
prevail by former soldiers and their
friends.
Advised to Approve
Everywhere the demand for tax
reduction grows more insistent. 1t
is said that President Coolidge has
been advised to approve the pending
tax measure as a matter Of policy.
The suggestion has been offered
that his message should bring
forcefully to the attention of CON
gress and the public, his objections
to certain features of the proposed
revenue measure. He has been
asked to condemn the publicity of
tax returns provision which allows
every citizen the right to examine
the tax accounts of his neighbor
and thus pry into another's personal
affairs. 1t is likely that a special
bill repeating this provision will be
introduced at the next congress in
event the revenue bill becomes a
law and the resentment against this
amendment is sufficiently strong to
assure its repeal.
Farm Relief Problem
The appeal from the agricultural
for legislation which will
stimulate farm life and provide
federal relief to farmers, brings
congress face to face with a real
problem. They must enact some
measure of this character before
returning to their districts and the
time is all too short. No agree
ment has been reached on agricul-
,ural bills and leaders on both sides
are in a quandary. Representatives
the senate and house from states
where agriculture is the dominating
industry, fully realize that it would

Labor Bills

Labor Bills
Organized labor is also giving
congress something to worry about
with a demand for enactment of the
Howell-Barkley bill calling for the
abolition of the Railway Labor
Board. The child labor amendment
is another source Of concern for leg
i~slative leaders. The general prop
osition has been endorsed by the
president but the difficulties center
around the age limit for the en-
ployment of minors. Unless pres
sure is brought to bear this proposal
will undoubtedly go over to the
next session.
If congress decides to close it's
activities for this year, the presi-
dent will have an opportunity to
exercise the "pocket veto" on i'm
portant bills. The Postal Salary
bill calling for additional expendi-
lures of at least SIC, 600 from
the treasurey, it is said, is slated
for this fate as the administration
regards it as untimely in view of the
universal demand for lower taxes
which are made possible by econ
orly in federal expenditures. The
Salary bill gives increases to more
than 100000 postal employees yer
aging $500 each. According to the
opponents of the measure, it is de-
signed purely as a "vote-catcher"
a campaign year and con-
have pledged their votes
accordingly.
Kill Two Birds
There are some who profess to
note clever political strategy in at
taching the Borah amendment to
the postal bill requiring the publ
of campaign contributions
and expenditures. The story is
current that legislators will "kill
two birds with one stone," that is,
vote increases to postal employees
and attempt to set themselves right
with the public by supporting a
designed to purify politics."
Knowing the attitude of the presi-
lent will bring a veto of the sal
Try provisions, the amendment will
pass out likewise and their con-
science with the contribution issue
will be satisfied.
World Court
Though President Coolidge men
Toned the world court proposition
n his Memorial Day address, it is
expected that that proposal will be
eft to another congress. Both
PARTIES are willing that the voters
hould discuss the issue before the
elections, as the question of inter-
RATIONAL relations is something to
landle with care.

Of business which is the best on the
market.
The machine absolutely cleans the
seed of all cookies and foul seed and
wild oats and does it perfectly. The
machine is run by motor and one
only has to see the machine in opera-
ton and all doubts as to its ability
to clean out all the foul seeds are
eliminated.
The Hansen Brothers will use the
machine to clean their own wheat for
milling purposes and will also clean
seed for the trade
Andrew Hansen, one of the pro-
prietOrs of the local mill in showino,

ed that all he wants is a chance to
demonstrate the seed cleaner to the
farmer who wants clean seed to plant
and he feels confident that the ma
chine will be kept busy.

BED MONDAY NIGHT

Register and Shows Familiarity
With the Surroundings.

Working quickly and with apparent
knowledge Of the interior of the
KavOn Garage, a thief or thieves
broke into the building by cutting and
smashing the glass in the door lead
ing to the office from the front, and
reaching in turned the night latch
and walked in.
The robber then went to the cash
register and tapped the till which at
the time contained 5000, and then
disappeared out the back way of the
garage into the alley.
Joe KavOn, the owner of the gar
age, asserts that it must have been
some enc quite familiar with the gar
age as the thief apparently knew
just where to break the window in or
der to get at the night latch and in
making his exit out the back way
showed familiarity with the chains
on the doors and how they open and
lock, etc.
Upon discovery Of the theft the
Sheriff's office was notified and the
