RICH TAXPAYERS
SNEAK BY

Washington.-It is discovered that
loopholes in the new tax law will
practically guarantee the old secrecy
for large income taxpayers.
The last session of congress provid-
ed for publicity of disputed claims.
Formerly tax return controversies
were adjusted behind closed doors in
the treasury department. Under the
new tax law a board of appeals is
created. This board is outside the
treasury department.
Treasury officials have ruled that if
the taxpayer desires to go before this
board, and have his affairs published
to the world, he may do SO. Other
wise he has several recourses inside
the treasury department. These rul-
ings, it is claimed, give taxpayers
every opportunity to settle in secret.

JOHN A. VOLL
One of the Country's Best
Known Trade Unionists,
Died Suddenly Last Sat-
urday.

Word was received here Monday of
the passing away of John A. Voll,
who died suddenly Saturday at Allan
tic City. Further word came that
funeral services will be held Saturday
at 1900 o'clock at the residence of
Andy Voll, brother of the deceased,
PIT Turner street, GAINESVILLE, Ohio
with interment at GAINESVILLE.
John A. Voll was one of the best
known trade unionists in the country
At the time of his death he was
president of the international Asso-
citation of Glass Bottle Blowers of
the United States and Canada. His
travels in the interest of his organi-
zation carried him into almost every
corner of this country and Canada,
bringing him into contact with many
leaders of capital and industry as well
as labor, and by whom he was held in
the highest esteem for his conserva-
tism and wise leadership.
He was for nine years president of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor,
where his wise counsel and conscien-
tious leadership proved of such great
value to the trade movement through
out the state as to leave mark
than can never be wiped out.
Honest, conscientious, a conserva-
tive, bitterly opposed to radicalism,
ever solicitous of the welfare of his
fellow worker, successful in his work
because he loved his work of inter
national scope, the sudden passing
away of John A. Voll leaves deep
void in the ranks of union labor in
the United States and Canada, one
almost irreparable.
Mr.. Voll had visited Hamilton on
many occasions during his activity in
the state organization. His last visit
here was to the Ohio State Federation
of Labor convention in 1921. His ad-
dress to the convention will long be
remembered by the delegates. He had
many loyal friends in Hamilton who
were deeply shocked and panied to
learn of his sudden taking away.
Stanley Ogg, vice president of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor, and
several other Hamilton trade union
lists will attend the funeral at Zanes-
vile, Saturday

ECCLESTON AND
SPEARS
Candidacy Endorsed BY
Carpenters Local Union

At meeting of the local Carpen-
ters' Union held last week, Aaron
Eggleston, candidate for county COM
missioner at the democratic prima-
rise, and w. Harry Spears, candidate
for clerk OF court at the democratic
primaries, were endorsed and pledged
support by members present.
This action is rather unusual, as
the trade unions usually refrain from
getting into the political movement,
but owing to the friendliness and
favors shown in the past by these
candidates, the carpenters felt they
were deserving of the support of the
union.
Mr.. Eggleston was for many years
member and officer of the Carpenters
Union, and active in the organiza-
tion's affairs, and Mr.. Spears has long
been a member of the Typographical
Union.

PERPINCON TAKES
VACATION

Herman Perpingon, the popular
business agent of the local Carpen-
ters' Union, got the fever. Piping
the many people taking auto trips
he couldn't stand it any longer, so on
Wednesday of this week Herman
packed the family in the old buzz
wagon and started on short trip for
Cissna, Illinois, on a visit to relatives,
to be gone the balance of the week.
He will return by way of Chicago,
spending a day there.
During his absence Charley Cha
pens is acting business agent for the
Carpenters Union. Any matters of
interest to the carpenters should be
taken up with Mr.. Chapens until
Perpingon's return.

she did not receive the money from
Harry because the other day I hap
pened in at her shop, and honestly it
seemed TO me that all the women
in town were buying the most elab-
crate underwear at the most eXorbi-
tant prices.
Ruth conflded to me that some
one had put up the money for her
and that she was glad she could make
at least IS per cent for that someone.
/ expect it was Walter Burke gave
her the money.
Files Suit
Ruth tells me she has entered suit
against her husband for desertion,
and although she did not say so, I
expect it is agreed between them that
she will marry Walter when he comes
back.

know, Leslie, never did~~care for
Burke, but I made such a mistake in

about not mixing friendship with her
business.

ties. 1 want to feel that all i get
from you I deserve because l am
an efficient business woman. I have
already received more from Leslie

is the sweetest woman I have ever

She thinks she chooses her friends

her.
Mother Is very self-centered. She
doesn't take much interest in any
thing outside the four walls Of her
home and herself She lives almost
entirely in the past and she, of course,
thinks that all young people are wrong
if they for one moment do anything

Indianapolis has become familiar
with Gladys story in the past week.
A child naturally idealizes his
mother, from the moment ne is old
enough to think. If she fails him
when he needs her most, something
vital goes out of his life.
And still, mothers, while protesting
their love for their children, deliber-
ately plan actions which will destroy
the children's faith in their ideals. A
weak pretense of love, surely.
