PALACE THEATRE
ITS HISTORY

Five years ago, to be exact on Feb
ruary 3, 1920, the Palace, Hamilton's
foremost theatre, was first opened to
the public of Hamilton. The Palace
theatre represents an investment of
$15O,000, and it's title of theatre beau
tiful is as applicable today as it was
at the time of it's origin. Commem-
Grating its fifth anniversary celebra-
tion, the Palace theatre has just pub
lished special souvenir edition of
its monthly magazine, which will be
mailed free to all readers of the
Press, if they will send their name
and address to the Palace manage
ment
In this anniversary magazine,
prominent men contributed articles
that have to do with the progress and
advancement of the Palace theatre
and its place in our midst as one of
Hamilton's indispensable semi-public
institutions. The book further con-
tains several interesting pages of
who's Who" at the Palace, as we'll
as brief resume of the principal
feature pictures that have been shown
in Hamilton since the Palace first
came into beign.
Whatever success the Palace thea
tire achieved must be attributed to
that sterling Palace trio, Messrs. Tur-
berg, Meyer and Silver, who came
here as strangers and invested their
money. They not only filled much
needed want in our midst by giving
to Hamilton theatre so beautiful as
the Palace, these men also have

rupture sufferer. The Ohio Nom
Skid Truss, with the soft elastic
cushions of the shape and size for
each particular case of rupture, dou-

FALKENSTINE FLUNKS
Reverend Gentleman Who Represents Butler County
In the State Legislature Falsifies in Pledge Made
To Constituents on Child Labor
Amendment

church councils of the state came out
strongly in favor Of the bill, and it
was supposed that Falkenstine would
vote for it's ratification. 1t would
seem that he will have to do much
more praying" and the spending of
many more "sleepless nights" in
squaring himself with his Conscience
his brother pastors and others in the
breaking of the solemn pledges he
made.
Heretofore Rev. C. C. Falkenstine
was looked upon as a clean, honest,
sincere, earnest gentleman, one whose
word, once given, might be relied
upon. 1t seems, however, judging
from the reverend gentleman's ac-
tions, that this was all wrong. His
word and promises are not to be
taken seriously. No more so than
that of the ordinary peanut" poll
tician who makes any old kind of
promise in order to get votes-in
order to win his point.
Wonder what the good ladies think
who were so glad of the delightful
gentleman" representative "we are
going to have in the state legisla-
ture"? A great majority of the lad
les are for the child labor am andment.
What do they think of Rev. Falken-
stine now? The least that Mr. Fal-
kenstine could have done when he
found his conscience" would not per-
nit of him voting for the amend
ment, as he promised and pledged
himself to do, was to have resigned
his office-to have withdrawn. Com
mon decency would ask this.
There is some talk on the part of
friends of the amendment asking Mr..
Falkenstine for his resignation. The
county republican organization would
do well for itself if it took this mat
ter up.

Louis Krebs, representing Geo
Krebs Sons, who for the past two
weeks has been attending the fur
niture markets at Grand Rapids and
Chicago, is back home again.
Mr.. Krebs stated the buying at
both markets was tremendous, and
that everybody looks forward to a
big year in business. Several new
lines of furniture have been contract
ed for by this well known estab-
lishment, who always are looking for
the new things for the home as well
as the better grade of home furnish

Judge Ebert Gary, steel trust mag
nate, lunched with President Coolidge,
recently. Judge Gary has the panacea
for all the ills that afflict the human
family. Take one of his panaceas
and this world is heaven, instanter.
Do not ask wages for your services
and the steel trust cannot get along
without protective tariff. That is
his viewpoint. And now the mig
gers" will get theirs.
A woman who has gained much re-
nown in the social uplift, to say moth

that our old time nursery rhymes are
vulgar and all wrong. She says that
Old Mother Goose should be expur-
gated, that Little Red Riding Hood
should be taken from print and To-
ever barred in all Christendom. The
rhymes are foolish, she states, and
should go. And thus, our so-called
reformers would go on and on, until
by statute it would become viola
ton to kiss your wife, to look at
cat and place an angleworm upon a
hook for starving fish. Truly our
universities teach wonderful things
and wonderful things would regulate
all mankind-born and unborn.
An appropriation will undoubtedly
be asked of congress to solve the rid
die: What was marble head OF
Augustus Caesar doing in the Hud-

spending money quite so foolishly!
There are thousands of marble heads

THE KALEIDOSCOPE
By |. C. McCUMBER

In the resignation Of Secretary
Hughes and the immediate naming of
Frank B. Kellogg by President Cool
idge, there comes to mind the thought:
Why did the citizens of Minnesota
some years ago since, decide that
Frank B. Kellogg should no longer
them at Washington Or
ganized labor knows why Mr.. Kel-
logg was asked to stay at home. If
President Coolidge thinks that he can
pick up lame duck, such as he has,
and put clean tail feathers on him,
the president lacks woefully when it
to reckoning with the memory
of the good citizens of the Gopher
state. Frank B. Kellogg was written
down as trimmer" and organized
labor has not changed its opinion.

MUST PAY FOR GUARDS

London, England. - The British
house of lords has voted that coal
mine company that asked for police
protection for their mines during the
1921 strike must pay for that privil-
ege, and has given judgment against
the firm in the sum of $11, 900.
Trade unionists point out that this
action by Britain's highest legislative
body may discourage employers from
importing police for the purpose of
garrisoning their pits and work shops
during strike times.

TAX BURDEN ON
AUTOS TOO
HEAVY
Cadillac Motor Car Co. Head
Says Reductions Made Are
insufficient
BY III. III. RICE,
President and General Manager
Cadillac Motor Car COMPANY.


There Is very evident urge
throughout our country toward
greater efficiency and economy. It
is reflected In the policies Of our
National Government: and with the
results of postwar boom conditions
still clearly In mind it permeates
the policies of big business and in
fluences the personal attitude OF
the individual.
Economy and efficiency are both
business and moral forces. They
lie at the foundation of material
well being. Results from pursuing
them are already apparent. A feel
ing Of confidence has swept across
the continent.
The groundwork of a long con-
tinued era of prosperity is being
laid by sound business practices
both in business and in the bust
ness management of our Govern
ment. Conservation policies now
being advocated at Washington, IL
carried through to fruition, will
add to the substantial nature OF
our present prosperity and will be
an investment safeguarding the
wealth of future generations.
The Federal Government has ac-
complished an Herculean task IN
reducing the country's debt ana at
the same time tightening the bur
den of taxation. In the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1924, the pubic
debt was reduced $1,O9S, 900, 900.
Total debt retirements from the
peak have effected a saving In
interest alone amounting to approx
imately 1925, 900 900 annually.
One year ago. with a contemplated
general Federal tax reduction IN
view, the automotive industry asked
for reduction in excise taxes which
had been imposed as war finance
measure. Their continuance was IN
the nature of a stigma tax. which
could have been justified as sucn
onIv nv a mental attitude of a time
le,fore the motor car became an
essential part of our national sys-
tenn Of transportation and communl'
cation.
The industry had paid in 1928
total of more than 100000 in
Federal taxes in addition to some
1913, 900 900 in State and munlclpaI
taxes. 1t felt that. in view OF the
re moval of taxes upon many articles
distinctly and wholly in the luxury
class, continuance of the motor Car
tax was unjustifiable.
That the industry was reasonably
prosperous and that automobile taxes
| were large and easily and mex
pcnsively collectible we're the most
! re asonable excuses for their con
! tlnuance.
Reductions which became law
/ during 1924 decreased the taxes
upon tires, tubes, parts and aces
| series from 5 per cent to 21a per
cent. Truck and motor wagon
chassis selling for $1,000 or less and
! II uck bodies selling for 5000 or less
were also relieved of the per cent
| tax
These reductions. though small.
were essential and well-directed. The
parts tax had been essentially a
nuisance tax, 8 it was a tax upon
| misfortune. The original vehicle
| had been taxed and there was this
additional tax upon parts to replace
those worn out in service or des-
| troyed by breakage.
| Upon trucks. which are solely
and distinctly units of distributive
equipment, the tax had been equally
obnoxious. Yet the mere state
ment is sufficient to- prove that

OAKLAND LEADS
OTHERS WITH
DEVICES
Many Improvements It Intro
duced Now Used by
Other Manufacturers

Among the thousands who atten.
ded the opening of the automobile
show there was one small group con-
sisting of executives of the Wallace
Motor Company who were particu-
larly interested in the exhibits. These
executives found that their conclu-
sions reached more than year ago
had received the approval of experts
through the adoption by other manu-
facturers of features Oakland had
pioneered.
The new Oakland Six was one of
the chief attractions at the 1924 auto
mobile shows, embodying as it did
several features never before dis
played and a number of others that
previously had been adopted only by
cars in the high priced field.
The improvements Oakland was
first to introduce to the public inciu-
ded Duco finish, centralized hand con-
trolls on the steering wheel, perfected
automatic spark and an indirectly
lighted unit instrument panel.
Offer DucO Finish.
Within the year Dueo has been
adopted by eleven large automobile
companies on one or all models as
standard equipment, while three other
companies offer Dueo finish, upon
request, on any model

the motor truck chassis costing
more than 81 900 is no more of a
luxury than the one costing less,
The relief granted was in the
right direction, but far from
adequate.
Arguments for the retention of
federal taxes upon passenger cars
are equally pointless. The time
has long past when anyone with
the slightest knowledge of how
cars are actually used has pre-
stunned to claim that their use was
other than 80 per cent utility and
10 per cent pleasure.
The automobile tax reduction ac-
complished by federal legislation is
estimated at $4,000, 900 to $25,O00,-
O00-and this out of a total of
more than $157 900 900.
In the automotive industry, as IN
practically every line Of business,
leaders have the greatest respect
for the business-like accomplishments
The Washington times., 1925-01-24

adopted similar finishes which have
been placed on the market following
the success of Duco.
From present indications the num-
Der who have forsaken enamel, paint
and varnish for the more durable
and colorful finish will be materially
increased during 1925.
Several years ago crude auto
matte spark was introduced to the
trade, but found unsatisfactory.
The idea was later perfected by
Oakland, and since then has been
placed on several other automobiles
as an improvement adding to the
efficiency of the, engine and promot-
ing ease in driving.
Centralized Control.
Centralizing of all hand controls
on the top of the steering column
where they can be manipulated with
The Washington times., 1925-01-24

out removing the hands from the
steering wheel, is another Oakland
innovation which has been followed
to a greater or less degree by other
manufacturers.
Oakland also was first to intro
duce an indirectly lighted instTu-
ment panel containing all dials--
speedometer, oil gauge, ammeter,
ETC. The indirect lighting affords
easy reading of any of the dials at
night, and at the same time sheds
a soft glow into the driving compart-
ment below.
Oakland was one Of the first five
cars to introduce four-wheel brakes.
1t was also the first light six
to use honed cylinders, interchange
able bronze backed main bearings,
adjustable full pressure oil system
and oil tight universal joints.

As a fitting close to the regime
of Exalted Ruler Charles l.. Muir
ply, FL Ccnrro lodge of l1iks, had a
well attended meeting at the lodge
rooms last night. Present rs a spe-
cia guest Of honor WAS DR.. G. Y.

Of the exalted ruler, and memhev
Of san Francisco lodge OF Elks.
Having been notified yesterday
afternoon tHat DR.. Murphy and his
wife would arrive on the afternoon
train, q delegation Of the exalted

meet the visitors 1t the Southern
Pacific station.
Or. MurFSy gets ais title by rca-
son Of being Il uDntal specialist. and
the local ElkS took it for granted
that he Is doctor ot medicine.
Therefore, wishing to make him feel
comfortable upon his arrival il this
city, they borrowed Bert Lemons
ambulance, and when the doctor left
the train. the EIks, noue OF whom
had bothered to change their work
ing clothes and several of whom
had managed to dig up "rag-md-
tag costumes. escorted the visitor
to the ambulance.
Mrs. Murphy was permitted to
sit on the driver 5 seat, but the
doctor Was hustled ON to the
stretchcr in the body of the We
hicle, guarded by the Elks. Then
preceded and followed by automo-
Diles equipped with fire sirens, the
procession passed through Main
street to the Barbara Worth hotel,
where Il room had been reserved for
the visitors. The latter are good
sports, and enjoyed their reception
IS much as the hlks did.
Preceding last nights meeting,
the Eiks enjoyed 4 splendid dinner,
served by the usual brigade of
''kitchen crooks without any IN
toward incident happening through
ont the various courses. The
''crooks' behaved, aud none of the
Officers GOT ptomaine or anything,
despite the fact that Bert Lemons
was in charge Of the t;:..ner arrange
ments.
Ten candidates were initiated at
the meeting of the lodge, several
visitors being present from Brawley
and Calexico TO witness the initia-
tion.
Plans for joint installation of
the officers OF the cIrawlry, Fl Cen
tro and Caiexico lodges, in the lat
