BONDS EXEMPT Of
TAX ARE UPHELD


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Issu-
ance of tax exempt bonds by States
and municipalities was defended by
the Institute of Economics in an
analytical study made public this
week.
The study, prepared by DR.. G. o.
Hardy, asserts that, though the Fed
eral Government loses on such bonds
about seventy-one million dollars an
nually in income taxes, the State
and municipal governments save
about the same amount in interest
charges on the bonds.
Abolition of the exemption would
be harmful, Dr. Hardy believes,
pointing out that. in effect, the ex-
emption is subsidy for good roads,
schools and other enterprises of di-
rect utility to the entire population.
The economist claims there is no
basis for the common belief that the
exemption has caused "a wave OF
State and municipal extravaganza
nor that the competition of tax ex
empt securities for the available sup
ply Of liquid money is placing a
handicap on trade and industry.

He is an able man. who is giving his

Capitalist Helps
Carl G.. Fisher, capitalist of Miami
and owner of the Indianapolis Speed
way, has promised to give $4,000
for a girls dormitory, a donation
which w. S. Witham, Atlanta. Ca,
banker, will match with a student
loan fund.
Newton D. Baker, former Sec
rotary of war, has accepted a place
on the advisory board.
With such men behind the York
project, it needs only the con-
tributions of the American public to
be a success.
The site of the institute is forty
miles from a railroad, but that
doesn't mean so much in these days
Of automobiles, trucks and good
roads. The State has built the
York Highway right through the
schools campus"
The soil of the plateau is a rich
sandy loan, suitable for raising a
wide variety Of crops. Much Of it Is
heavily timbered; the road stretches
| through seemingly endless woods in
which, Alvin York will inform you,
there are some deer and bears and
many wild turkeys. There Is coal
| and iron underneath.
The human resources are even
richer. The Anglo-Saxon pioneer
stock of this plateau produced Davy
Crockett, the hero of the Alamo, and
Mark Twain, the humorist. Mark
Twain's father and Alvin York's
great-great grandfather were asso-
ciates and Mark Twain's 1.-THE Gid
ed Age" has some references to
jamestown and it's people.
All that is needed to make this
plateau an Arcadia is education. 1t
is with that that Alvin York asks
the people of America to help.

ment of Senator Lynn j. Frazier of

Republican organization in the up
per house of Congress, Senator
James E. Watson, chairman of the

C. EGYPTIANS TO
TAKE INSURGENTS
BACK INTO FOLD
First Step viii Be to Restore
Frazier, Then Norris
Write Watson.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia peace
agreement with insurgents is being
planned by Republican leaders here
to end the factional war which start
ed with the break of the late Senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette from party
ranks in the presidential campaign
of 1924.
The first step will be restoration Of
party rights to Senator Lynn Fra
zier, independent Republican, North
Dakota, who was ousted with three
others for participation in the La
Toilette movement.
Norris Next
The second step will be the install
lation of Senator George Norris
Rep), Nebraska, 1.-The Fust buster, "
as chairman of the alrpowerful ju-
dietary committee.
The peace is a complete reversal
of the action taken in 1925 when Fra
zier, the elder La Toilette, now dead;
Senators Ladd Rep), North Dakota,
and Brookhart Rep), Iowa, were de-
and party privileges. 1t was neces-
sary in order to preserve the numer-
ical majority of the party in the next
Senate.
Action upon the issue was precipi-
tated by Senator Borah Rep), Idaho,
who wrote a letter to Chairman Wat
son of the committee on committees
urging that Republicans reconsider
their previous error in Judgment"
and give Frazier-the only one of
the ousted quartet still in the Sen
ate-a rating as a Republican, just
as if nothing had happened.
Long Under Way
But even before Borah's missive,
Republican leaders who< have been
working to "end the war"
1t is understood that Frazier al
ready has been approached with an
invitation to come back into the
fold. 1t Is also understood that when
Brookhart returns in the next Con-
gress his privileges will be restored.

JAMESTOWN, Tenn, Nov. 12.-
The story of Sergeant York is an
American saga. 1t is the story of
a son of American pioneers who
hated war because he was a Chris
tan, and yet, when he had to, went
to the front and with a woodsman' S
eye along a single rifle barrel, put
out of commission a German bat
talon of machine guns and captured
1872 prisoners. 1t is a story won
drous as the myths Of old, but diff
ferent from them in that it is every
word true, vouched for by official
Government reports.
1t is not strange that this story
should capture the minds and hearts
of. big business and professional men,
and because it has, Alvin York's
school project is at last on it's feet
and in every way worthy of public
assistance.
Truth to tell, it was not always
so. Alvin York is as unworldly as
one Of those first followers of Jesus
Christ. He is not a good business
man. SO, when he was trying to
run the enterprise himself, it was
not we'll managed.
Would Keep Simplicity
The men of the world who have
learned to know and to love Alvin
York do not want him to become
canny. They want him to remain
always unWorldly. for his simplicity
is his power.
Buttthey want to protect him, and
they want to build a school that will
enshrine the story and the soul of
Alvin York and inspire the children
of the mountains while it opens new
doors of opportunity and happiness
to them.
So they are giving their time and
their money to put the school on a
firm basis.
