Charges News Bureau
Misrepresented Facts

Washington, d. c. - The news bu-
reau of the Republican national COM
mittee was charged today in the SEN
ate by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Montana, with "a deliberate and ma
licious" Misrepresentation of the facts
in the statement it issued yesterday
that the naval oil leases were made
under an act sponsored by him.
Everyone here who knows the facts
knows these leases were not made I'M
der the terms of the general leasing
law" Senator Walsh said. "This act
expressly excluded from its provisions
the naval oil reserves except that it
gave authority to the secretary of the
interior to lease producing wells on
the naval reserves. There were no
such wells in either reserve No. 1
California; and reserve No. 8 (Wy-
on1ing).n
The Montana senator explained that
the leases obtained by Harry F. Sim
clair and E. L. Doheny from Albert B.
Fall as secretary Of the interior were
granted under the, provisions of a
s'rider" to the naval appropriation bill
enacted in June, 1920, four months
after the general leasing law was
passed.

OPTIMISTS CLUB
AIDS THREE.LADS
Earl, Edgar and Walter
Are Given Boost To-
ward Success.
TO NAME TWO PALS

Three young Kenosha lads, to whom
life had dealt Middle straights and
bob-tails flushes" were given fresh
draws by the 0ptimists club during the
week according to the report of the
committee on delinquent boys, made at
the MONDAY luncheon at the Elk's club
today.
Earl's parents are poor and could
not give him even the bare necessi-
ties Of life. Earl wanted things, and
wanted them badly. He stole to get
them, and as result got into the
tolls of the police department, from
where he was turned over to the pro-
baton department.
This afternoon Earl leaves for a
farm out in the county where there is
plenty of good food, horses and cows,
and where he will be give ma weekly
allowance by his employer. The club
voted to buy the lad pair of shoes,
and one of the members offered, to
donate underwear which he needs.
Edgar is Is years old During the
past year his principal claim to fame
has been the leadership of a gang
of youngsters, whose chief delight
was to waylay cOlored boys and adj
minister sound beatings. Recently the
colored boys formed a gang for their
own protection, and war was declared.
Several skirmishes followed until Ed
gar, as commander-in-chief was called
upon, by the probation department,
for an explanation.
Official probing of Edgar's inner
self revealed the fact that he is in
tensely interested in surgery. An OPP
timistic physician has taken the boy
under his wing. Edgar now plans
to take his degree as surgeon along
about 1888.
Sixteen-year-o Walter, who came
from a poor family, also became in
volved with the officials through yield
ing to the temptation TO appropriate
the goods of others. Now Walter is
an apprentice pattern-maker and
punches a time clock and draws his
weekly pay check just like any other
man.
During the coming week big BROTH
ers will be named for two other boys,
one Of whom is the ex-cOmmander Of
the Club of Thieves, which recently
disbanded. The other boy is a rabbid
radio fan, who stole some radio equip
ment with which to pick up X. Y. ".
He is blind in one eye, and the sight
of the other eye has been impaired,
but he is ambitious.
II. E. Sawyer, of the MacWhyte
company was awarded the attendance
prize for the day. The matter of en-
forcing the rule which calls for the
automatic dropping from membership
of men who have missed three con-
seeutive luncheons, was considered.
A warning will be issued, it was an
nounced.

START ATTACK ON
ANOTHER TAX LAW
If 1t Is Successful. the State viii
Lose Several Hundred Thousand
Dollars Annually In Taxes.

Madison.--Attack on another state
tax law has been instituted which, II
successful, will result in the state
losing several hundred thosuand dol
lars annually in taxes, according to
information received by the state tax
commission, it was learned today. The
new attack is on the question of con-
stitutionality of the state law leyying
an ad valorem tax on bank stock.
The suit was brought by the City
Bank of Milwaukee against the City
of Milwaukee, but indirectly involves
the state commission, it is said. 1t is
a test case on the part OF approx
mately thirty state banks in Milwau-
kee, according to officials.
The advalorem tax ON bank stocks
has been in force for a number Of
years, members of the tax commission
said today. 1t was not until last year
that any Of the taxes were paid under
protest, and the attack is on the 1923
leyies. Not only does the suit seek to
declare the ad valorem tax law un-
constitutional, but also to declare IL
legal all previous taxes levied under
the law.
The Milwaukee bank contends that
it's stockholders are denied protec-
tion against over taxation and that
the law is therefore contrary to state
and federal constitutions. 1t also is
alleged that stockholders cannot use
the personal property tax on their
stock as an offset against there in-
come tax whereas other taxpayers can
offset taxes with personal property
taxes.
More than 800 state banks in Wis
consip will be affected by the out
come of the suit, according to officials.
The tax of the City Bank of Milwau-
kee, the complainant, involved in the
suit is said to be approximately $1o,-
600 for last year.
The states right to tax stocks of
national banks also has been contest
ed in another suit brought by the Mil
waukee national banks. 1t is pending
in federal court.
