LAF0LLETTET0
L0SEC0NTR0L,
AYERS MOSES
Asserts Makeup of New
Committees, Will Deprive
Him of Balance of Power

French Lick, Nov. 17.-United
States Senator George II. Moses of
New Hampshire, slated for chairman
of the new Senate committee on
committees, last night issued a for
nal statement I'M which he declared
that Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette
no longer was entitled to be con-
sldered member Of the Republican
party in the matter of committee
assignments in the new Congress.
This is the first affirmative state
n:cnt of this character that has been
made by responsible Senate leaders.
Special significance is attached to
the statement also by virtue of the
fact that Moses has just returned
from the funeral Of the late Senator
Lodge where he is supposed to have
casually at least talked over the
matter Of the new organization of
the Senate.
Cuts La Toilette Power
Moses places La Toilette on the
same footing with Shipstead and
Johnson Of Minnesota. He holds
tt 70 Toilette, after March next
should be considered as just enter
ing the Senate as the leader of a
new party, and as first termer,
so far as the seniority rule of the
upper house goes in the distribu-
ton of committee-ship places.
If Moses is speaking ex-cathedra
for the new Senate leaders and his
program is carried out, La Toilette
will be dropped down the list or
removed entirely front the power
full manufacture committee Of which
he now is chairman. 1t was as
chairman of this committee that he
was able to institute his investiga-
ticn of the oil interests Of the
country. Incidentally with the poss-
lille dropping of La Toilette to the
bottom of all his committees or re-
moving him entirely, Senator Wat
son of Indiana would move up the
list, particularly Of the interstate
commerce committee.
Mclean Ranks High
Senator George p. Mclean of
Connecticut would be the ranking
member of both the finance and in
terstate commerce committees and
probably would elect to remain on
the finance committee. This would
make Senator Watson ranking men,
Der of the interstate commerce COM
mittce, and, unless Chairman Cum
Minis Of Iowa regains his health,
would place him in strong position
as the virtual dictator of interstate
commerce.

DODGING OF
TAXES SAID
TO BE TRIED

Gunder Olson, Collector of m
ternal Revenue for the District of
North Dakota, following calls atten-
ton to the new law regulating col
lection of Federal tax on theatre,
dance and other admissions.
Section 500 of the Revenue Act of
1924, which became effective at mid
night July 2, 1924, provides for an
admission tax of l cent for each 10
cents or fraction thereof, of the
amount paid for admission, where
the admission charged is in excess
Of SO cents.
My attention has been called to
an advertisement of a certain dance
hall in this state, which reads in
part as follows:
"Tickets: Gents so cents; ladies
so cents. Gent must purchase tic
ket for lady. Ladies unaccompanied,
free"
This is unreasonable and no one
can cvade collecting admission tax
by any such arrangement. This is
clearly an admission Of $1.0O, and
this particular dance hall proprietor
is required to collect an admission
tax Of 10 cents on each $l.OO ticket
! sold.
Regulations also provide that tic
kets or cards of admission must be
used to evidence every admission
or mechanical device which will
register the number of persons en-
tering the place may be used.
If it is a taxable admission, the
ticket must show the price of ad.
mission, the amount of tax due, and
the total, together with the name Of
the vendor, and must be either ser.
tally numbered or dated.
AS no tax is imposed on admis.
sions Of so cents or less, it is only
necessary that the price Of sucl
ticket be shown.
| Whoever fails to comply with thi.
section of the law is guilty of :
misdemeanOr and upon conviction
thereof, shall be fined not NOR,
than 500.
Every individual corporation, part
ncrship or association required tt
collect any tax on admissions under
the 1924 Revenue Act, shall, within
ten days after commencing ;ousi
ness, make an application for regis
try by filling out Form 752.
Full information concerning ad
mission tax can be secured from tn,
Collector of Internal Revenue a

These remarkable results in North

The case went to the jury at noon
after the trial had been in progress
for more than three weeks and the
verdict was returned at 4:3O O'clock

seven of the Indictment. This count
related to the alleged resale of

Fridays verdict marks one of the
closing chapters in an 100000
financial fiasco in which farmers of
South Dakota and Iowa sank large
sums Of money. The Midland Pack
ing company project was promoted
II ON 1918 to 1920 and a we'll equipped
plant erected at Sioux City. Shortly
thereafter the company was placed
in bankruptcy. Complaint of many
farmers who had lost fortunes in the
enterprise resulted in the return OF
the indictments returned by a federal
court grand jury in South Dakota in
1922
The maximum penalty for the
count on which Salingcr was con-
vioted is two years imprisonment and
$4,000 fine.

Birds That Topple Steeples

The stopping of the large clock in
the tower of an English church. due to
jackdaws having built their nests in
the works, has called attention to the
damage done by these birds. They
seem to have a special liking for
steeples and similar high places, and
often cause such structures to become
weakened and to tip owing to con-
slant pecking at the mortar of the
masonry. One spire threatened with
collapse was found to be crumbling
from the attacks OF swarms of young
jackdaws housed in the interior. They
were gathered and lowered to the
ground in buckets and the openings
through which the old birds gained
entrance to the tower were screened
