ranch, cattle and holdings, for $25,O00
The purported sale involved 48O
acres of patented land, ranch equip

TAX REDUCTION
BILL SUSTAINS
MINOR CHANGES

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS Q9 = The
Gordon of republican votes defending
the tax bill in the house was pierced
toG}y for the second time by a demo-
cratic attack that hit directly at large
corporations which file affiliated tax
returns.
The democrats, by vote of 158 to
1853, put through an amendment which
in effect would prohibit parent and
subsidiary corporations from filing af-
filiated fsx returns on their earnings.
One republican, Clifford of Mass
achusetts, voted with the democrats.
The proposal, like the one adopted
yesterday, which would reduce the tax
rate for small corporations with a net
taxable income of $4,000 or less, is
subject to another vote before passage
of the bill At that time the demo-
Gratis can be called upon to sustain
their positions on roll call vote.
Both of the amendments were spon-
sored by Representative Garner ot
Texas, the minority leader On the
house ways and means committee,
which drafted the revenue measure. He
said that one objection raised to the
amendment adopted yesterday in favor
of smaller corporations was thai it
would increase the total tax cut pro-
posed by the estimating that todays
proposal applying to affiliated returns
would affect approximately $50 large
corporations, and increase by $4,000
600 annually the federal faxes they
pay, he argued this would balance the
loss under the other amendment
which, he said, would benefit 70 per
cent of the corporations in the coun-
try. II.
Chairman Green declared that pro-
visions in the, bill applying to affiliat-
ed returns had been recommended by
the joint congressional committee on
internal revenue Legislation, and that
they were by far the best that could
be worked out. He contended that the
large corporations, despite Garner's
argument, wanted the provisions elm
mated and that the Texan really was
working for their relief. VI
Clifford said that the only argument
he had heard in favor of retaining
the provisions was because they had
been recommended by the joint COM
mittee and that the house should give
careful consideration to such matters
before writing them into law.

and friends. Tie radiates charm,
geniality, and lSindliness. 1 honestly
believe that President Coolidge IS
one of the most popular presidents
we have ever had. If he is unpopu-
lar with ccrtaln politicians, this is
more than compensated by his popu-
larity with the masses, with the
average citizen Of Main street, for
throughout the year, on special oc-
casions, anniversaries and holidays
such as. Easter, Saint Valentines
Day, Christmas and New Years, the
White House is literally deluged
with greeting cards and personal ex-
pressions of greetings pouring in
from every section Of the country.
This to me seems significant. It
certainly does not convey an inn
preston of unpopularity, nor doesl
it indicate that people who really
count regard the president as "cooI
and unapproachable." I found him
to be the very opposite, and I am
sure that the expressions of good
will which come to him each, day
from all over the country are not for.

MEN DO SHOPPING
WITH NOT CRITICAL
EYE TO OBSERVE IT

That old saw about there being
nothing new under the SUM- may
be all trth, but there come times
be all truth, but there come times
on the jaw, as for example last
night, at the J. c. Penny company
store in Douglas, in common with
the Penney stores throughout the
system It was in the. Inauguration
of what they, termed MEMS Night"
and the men were requested not to
bring the women folks along. And
it made a hit, too-not necessarily
the request not to bring the women
folks, but the chance to shop for
the gifts for the ladies in a sort
of seclusion completely surrounded
by opportunity to select the gift from
a wide range OF choice.
Men appeared ever SO much more
free to call for articles of lingerie
and all the folderols, frills and fur
bellows, jazzbogs etc. than they
ordinarily are and they studied what
were shown with care and pre-
cision as though mentally fitting it
to the one for whom it was intended.
And they made their purchases and
went their way smiling, apparently
pleased with having been permitted to
enjoy a share in the first "Men's
Night" ever offered in the shops OF
Douglas.

MILK BOTTLE LOSS
EACH YEAR TOTALS
VAST SUM, is CLAIM

Have. you broken your share OF
milk bottles this year?
The foregoing might be put prop
erly ito all who use milk brought
to the home in bottles. If the state
ment OF the U. S. department. of
agriculture is true there is a loss
of $3O00O,OOO year in broken milk
bottles in the United States every
year. Here is the statement made
by the secretary of the department
of agriculture in, his annual report
just published:
zone of the problems confronting
dairymen and milk. dealers is how to
reduce the loss of milk bottles. The
annual cost Of replacing bottles that
are lost or broken amounts to about
$50, 100000. Of this amount, over
$12,000,000 results from breakage in
the milk plants where milk is bottled.
Investigations in milk plant manage
ment include study of this problem.
Surveys are made at milk plants
during their operation. Glass broken
at various points in the plants is
collected and weighed at the end
of each days run, and notes are
taken son the types and arrangement
of machinery, distances that bottles
are moved, and means of conveying
bottles from one place to another
within the plant. These studies show
not only the point at which the
greatest breakage occurs but the
character and cause of the breakage." "
According to that, there is a loss
of $1800O,O0O in bottles broken by
the trade that might be avoided.

Cold, Fog and Tinkle
OF Little Bell Give
Atmosphere to Season

Completing the atmosphere that
makes Christmas what it is to the city
dweIler there appeared on the streets
Yesterday the Salvation Army pots. The
air was frosty enough to suit any
Douglasite' and misty enough to make
many imagine for one day at least
that they were, by some terrible mis-
fortune, back on the slippery, 1cet
coated pavements of some eastern city.
When one heard the tinkling persist
ence of the little bell, rung by the pot
watcher, the atmosphere was COM
plete.
The sun will probably come out this
morning and spoil the fog-bound win
ter, part of the picture. BY noon the
weather will probable be next door to
hot but there is plenty Of holly IN the
store windows and imitation snow
strewn about the displays and the pot
is still on the corner by the big bapk
building, one representing the wealth
of the city and the other pld2ding for
the poor. The pot is a reminder that
Christmas time is the time for giving
and the bank should remind most
people that they are able to give
something to keep the pot boiling"

TOLD BY SISTER
MURDERED Wife

CINCINNATI, Dec. 13 GA sister
Of the slain Imogene Holmes RemuS,
Mrs Grace Campbell of Mipmi, Fla,

her brother -in-law, George Remus,
former king Of bootleggers" how she
had spent nearly two months in a vain
effort to bring them to an agreement.
She fought bravely 20 hold back her
tears, but they came along with great
sobs when she told that Remus had
threatened to divest her of every cent
of her fortune ;and every shred OF
reputation.
Rclnus threatened that he would
"crack skull" unless he got back the
certificates, which represented so much
liquor in warehouses, she said.
Once, Mrs. Campbell testified, upon
Cne Of her 10 visits to Remus, while
he was a prisoner in the federal peni-
tentiary at Atlanta, Ga, she had ask
ed him why my sister cried and was
so unhappy, and could not sleep at
night after seeing him."
HE replied that she did not under
stand him." testified Mrs. Campbell
Her testimony was given in q voice
so low that probably not more than q,
dtzen persons in the court room, in
cluding judge, jury, and lawyers heard
all of it. 5@
Her chair was moved from the wit
ness box to a position alongside the
jury box Judge Chester r. Shook then
could not head and he and the court
reporter had to move over an arms
length away.
Mrs Campbell WIS said to suffer
from heart disease and the lawyers
we're very gentle with her. On her
part she tried valiantly to maintain
control of herself, and gave way only
when quoting directly Remus' remarks
to her sister.
Her appearance brought the high
point of court session which started
furtously with a vitriolic speech by
Remus in which he declaimed against

LOAN
CANCELS ORIENT
Line CONTRACT

WASHINGTON Dec. 13 Up = The
contract of SWayne and Hoyt, San
Francisco company, for operation OF
the American Australian Orient line
was ordered cancelled today by the
shipping BOARD.
This action followed disclosure that
j. L. Bley, Washington agent of the
company had made loan to w. S.
Hill of South Dakota, who resigned
yesterday from the board after PreSi-
dent Coolidge had sent to the senate
the nomination Of Albert H. Denton
of Kansas, to succeed him.
At it's meeting today, Hill'S former
colleagues adopted resolution char
iacterizing his action in accepting the
loan as grave impropriety." They
did so despite Hill's contention that
the loan never had affected any action
on his part while member of the
board
Subsequent to the boards action,
Commissioner Teller, who represents
the Pacific coast on the board, and
who formerly was financially inter-
eSted in ships operated by Swayne and
Hoyt, issued a statement denying re-
ports in shipping circles here that he
had been a party to the Bley-Hill
transaction. Mr.. Teller declared that
he had no connection with Swayne and
Hoyt and that he had known nothing
of the loan until Mr. Hill told the
board about it several weeks ago.
During the day it was announced at
the White House that when Mr.. Hill
was given a recess appointment in
June the president had no intention
of keeping him on the board perman-
emily, but only until a successor could
be selected.
