TAX FIGHT
BEGUN BY
BLOC
By WILLIAM, K. HUTCHINSON
The bright spotlight of national

By WILLTAMt *. HUTCHINSON
The bright spotlight of national
publicity will be turned upon
every income tax return if the
progressive bloc Of the Senate
can command enough votes to
amend the new 1862, OO0, 900 tax
reduction bill.
Although the Senate Finance
Committee and the House have
repealed even the existing pub
Lefty clause, the progressives pro-
pose to throw open all tax records
: to the public.
Norris Backs Amendment
Senator Norris R.l OF Nebraska,
today sponsored an amendment to
carry the full publicity into effect
and his proposal met with consid-
cradle support among Democrats
on the ground 1t would prevent
fraud in the administration Of taxes.
If defeated, the Progressives win
Insist upon retention of the present
publicity feature, and there were
indications that the final vote
would be close.
The controversy over publicity
was given a wider field of opera
ton when a general Democratic
move was started to compel COM
plete publicity of all Internal REEVE
nue. Bureau tax rulings.
S-eH-.- r,s~s 64v hn n
Gratis that the Government had
lost thousands of dollars through
s'secret rulings" when employees
quit the bureau TO convey informa-
ton to taxpayers.
IL was also contended that thou
sands of citizens have paid unneces-
sary taxes because they did not
know of the secret rulings.
Another Row Faced
With the publicity battle in the
background. the Senate faced an
other row over the adoption of sur
tax rates.
A movement was afoot among
the Progressives to attack the
whole schedule approved by the
Senate Finance Committee, while
the Democrats were ready to insist
upon adoption of their original
program of taxes for incomes be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, which
was lower than that approved by
the committee.
Because of the non-partisan char
acter of the bill, it was considered
doubtful whether the present rates.
ranging from / per. cent at $4,000
to a maximum of 20 per cent at
500 900, would be changed.
The Progressives were more hope
full in their fight for publicity.
The Norris amendment PROVIDED
that returns upon which the tax
has been determined by the com
missioner shall constitute public
records, and shall be open to ex-
animation and inspection as other
public records under the same rules
and regulations as may govern the
examination of public documents
generally"
Limited by Bill
This provision met with consider
able support, Senator Couzens RJ
: of Michigan, announcing that he
was In favor Of making all records
open to public inspection
Couzens. who was chairman Of
the Senate committee which inVesti-
gated the Internal Revenue Bureau,
declared it's records should be place )
on the same plane with those of
the Interior or War departments
The provision. approved by the
House and Endorsed by the SENATE
committee, would make the tax re.
turns public records, but allow their
inspection 'only upon order OF the
President"
The exceptions would be Congress

RhineIander's Appeal
 Is Lengthy Document

New York, Aug. 12 Pl-Wealthy young Leonard Kip Rhinelander to- day had 1.455 pages of argument to bolster his appeal from the decision of a jury last December at White Plains that refused to annul his marriage to the daughter of a negro taxi driver.
 It was learned yesterday that printing of his appeal had been completed at a cost of s5,000 and that it would be filed today in the Brooklyn appellate court. The ap- peal is in two volumes, and 16 copies of each were necessary for the appeal court record. The ap- peal consists of the trial record, in cluding the famous but mostly un- printable love letters. one of which was 2,OO0 words long, that figured in the testimony.
 The appeal will not be argued until after October 1, and the princi- pals will not have 10 be present.

"I,AzYBoNEso AT PALACE.

A picture crowded with quaint comedy, wholesome romance and enough thrills to satisfy even the most blase audience, based on the thoroughly American play by Owen Davis, is "Lazybones," which opened up at the New Palace this afternoon and will remain for the remainder of this week.
 "Lazybones" is laid in the little town of Milo, Maine, and the plot evolves around the life of Steve Futile, known as the sowest man in town, He adopts a mysterious baby causing the village tongues to wag fast and furiously, loses his sweet heart because he will not explain where he found the child and then goes on just living until the World War comes along and he goes to France.
 Then through no fault of his own he captures group of German sol diers and comes home hero-to find that little Kit has established new reputa ton for him that he must live up to the slogan, Speed Tuttle." which appears over the newly launched garage and to discover that he is in love with his little ward.
 But the fates have always drowned on Steve's love affairs and he hides his feelings when he discovers Kits love for another.
 Charles (Buck) Jones is a real big treat as the loveable-thoUgh-un- energetic "Lazybones." Madge Bel lamy Zasu Pitts, Jane Noyak and big cast of film celebrities make up the list Of players.

Chicago, Aug. 12 R)-An offer oi five thousand dollars to Gertrude Ederle for an attempt to swim the channel between Catalina Island and the California mainland was made through the Chicago Tribune today by William Wrigley, Jr., Chi cago chewing gum ms gnate.
 The channel is about 2S miles wide at it's most approachable points, a greater distance than GOV cred by Miss Ederle in swimming the English channel, and is consid- erably less rough a body of water
 The sum, Wrigley informed the newspaper from Los Angeles, would be to underwrite all expenses for the coast trip and training with the balance "a merited reward to America's greatest swimmer, whether she succeeds Tn the Cata- lima swim or not"
 Tt is only fair that this triumph should wait for the wonderful New York girl and be as trictly Ameri- can triumph" he declared. He said the time Of the attempt would be left to Miss Ederle's choice, but sug- gested the Christmas holidays ae suitable.

PRIMARY SYSTEM
 MAY BE DROPPED
Illinois Court Rules in Favor
 Of Convention

Chicago, Aug. 12 P-The bv- gone days of party conventions and party bosses may come back to Illinois.
 The sivteen year old direct pri- mary law, under which nominees Tor state and local offices have been selected since its enactment in 1910. Will be thrown into the discard in 'he Illinois supreme court sustains the decision of three judges in cir cult court at Dixon, H., yesterday.
 Holding that equal representation In county conventions under the ex- isting statute is impossible, Judge William J. Emerson, sitting with two associates, declared the primary law invalid and unconstitutional and enjoined county officers of Lee county from paying the salaries of election judges and clerks and other expenses incurred in the April Is primary.
 The ruling will feet the result of the spring primary only in Lee county. The chaos in party organi- zation that would follow the final scrappfng of the primary system was deferred by the announcement of an appeal to the state supreme court by States Attorney Mark c. Keller of Lee county. Almost cer- tain war over the makeup of party committees, with it's probable ef- feet on the November balloting, might be precipitated by an carly decision advers to the law, but the appeay is not likely to be heard by the court until October.
 The 1910 statute provided for party organization based upon coun- ty conventions, at which the voting power of precinct committeeman was determined by the number of votes cast for governor in his pre- cinct at the preceding general cleo ton. Owing to re-appointment of a Dixon city precinct, argued George C. Dixon, Attorney for a taxpayer who instituted the suit, it was i'm possible to determine the vote to which the re-districted committee men were entitled. This inequality

OHIO ELECTION
 ON DRY ISSUES
Fall Campaign May Be WaSed
 on Liquor

Chicago, Aug. 12 0P,-Ohio may become the battle-ground of another wet and dry political fight this fall as a result of the primary victory of former Senator Atlee Pomerene, democratic nominee for the United States senate.
 Pomerene, long regarded as a Iib- eral, defeated his anti-saloon league endorsed opponent, Miss Florence E. Allen, Ohio supreme court justice, by goodly margin in Tuesdays pri- mary and now stands ready to cam palgn against his republican op- ponent, Senator Frank B. Willis.
 That Willis will force the wet and dry issue to Pomerene was regarded as likely by political leaders, inas- much as Willis had snti-saIoon league backing in the primary.
 Pomerene, after serving 12 years as an Ohio senator, was defeated in 1920 by Senator S. D. Fess.
 Votes were still being tabulated in the Alabama and Arkansas dem- ocratic primaries.
 Hugo l.. Black of Birmingham. Ala, ku kluX klan endorsed candi- date for tho seat of United States Senator Underwood, who retired in 1927, led his nearest opponent, John Il. Bankhead, by 5000 votes. Ribb Graves led a field of four in the race for the gubernatorial nomination.
 Governor Tom Terral of Arkansas was trailing John E. Martineau. judge of Pulaski chancery court, for the gubernatorial nomination in Arkansas by more than 12.OnO votes with approximately two-thirds of the precincts in the state heard from.
