NUISANCE TAX
Is CONSIDERED
House Ways and Means Com.
mittee Urged to Repeal
Wartime Measures

Washington, Nov. 7.-(R-Taxes
that. reach into the pocket Of the
average citizen came to the consid-
Grafton today Of the house ways and
means committee.
These levies, known as the excise
or nuisance take include the sales
tax on automobiles and theatre tick
cts and because Of the breadth Of
their effect the witness list was the
longest that has confronted the
committee durin!s its present hear
ing on the subject Of tax reduction.
The advisability Of retaining or
eliminating these taxes from the
revenue statute lon~ has been a dis
puted point and today found the
same diversity Of opinion existing.
The question is one . the major
points of difference between the
treasury and many congressional
leaders and admittedly is an issue
that will be debated until the sigma
ture of President Coolidge has
transformed the prospective revenue
bill into a new tax law.
The treasury contention that SO
lcvies should be retained j.. order to
keep q we'll balanced tax structure
has been met the contention that
the taxes ire legacy Of the war
and have no plac. in . peace time
taxation system.
The witness list included follow
ers. of both camps and the only
unanimity Of orinion was on the
point that whate .'er the committee
might recommend, the battle would
be carried to the floor Of both the
house and senat.

Il was Henry Mason Day, one Of

which he defended as perfectly
proper - long as the Jurors them
selves were not approached.

Sinclair Exploration company, al.
ready has refused to testify before
the same grand jury into whose
presence Burns and his son, w.
Sherman Burns. were summoned to.
day for questioning.

RED MEN WILL
AID big BILL
IN CAMPAIGN
Committee of First Americans
in War Paint. and Regalia
Pledge Support

Chicago. Nov. 7.-fF)-The first
Americans have gone on the war
path for ."Amcrica First"
A committee Of Indians, in war
paint and regalia, will call on Mayor
Thompson when he returns from
Washington, pledge support to his
efforts to make history texts 100
per cent American, and ask that
the Red men be given a proper ap-
probation in the books.
The grand council fire of Ameri-
can Indians met yesterday and
adopted resolutions naming the dele
cation to visit the mayor and pre-
sent the Indians side. Their action
followed announcement that a So.
600 prize would be awarded for the
writing Of new "all-American" his
tory text to be used in the Chicago
public schools. Christian B. Paschen,
treasurer of the newly formed Amer.
ica First foundation, sponsored by
Mayor Thompson, Is donor Of the
prize.
Names Are Given
The Indians named several mem.
bers of their race who they believe
merit places in American history,
Pocahontas, Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perces and Tecumseh, were
some OF those mentioned.
Scott H. Peters, Chippewa In
dian and president Of the grand
council fire, added to the list Of de-
serving Indians names that of Chief
Pedadwonl, Of Saginaw, Mich, (his
own grandfather), who he said had
been q great friend to the white
man and should be considered for q
place in the 100 per cent book.
"Mayor Thompson's scheme Of
making American history truly
American is one of the greatest
things that has occurred in recent
years." Peters said. II think this
organization is the one to start real
100 per cent Americanism. In our
Indian history we have had many
great men, commanders, statesmen,
farmers, lawyers. These men should
be represented to the school chill
dren."
The Indians believed that much
inaccuracy has crept into accounts
of massacres, reflecting upon the
American Indian, whereas Indian
deeds Of valor in support Of the
white mans cause have been slighted
or overlooked entirely.
