STATE OFFICIALS
Renew ATTACK
ON TAX REFUND
Brown, zoerCher Answer
Criticism of Their Stand
on Court Decision.

Elaboration of their views on the
tax refund decision of the Supreme
Court is set forth by Chairman John
j. Brown and Philip zoercher of the
State tax board, in two letters made
public Saturday.
The Brown letter is addressed to
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce and the zoercher letter to
Clinton H. Givan, Marion County
attorney.
The correspondence came as the
result of an attack by Givan and
others on the criticism of the refund
decision which tax board members
have made recently.
Reversal Is Predicted
Zoercher points out that former
court decisions all indicate that
"harmfulnesS" must be shown be-
fore refund is made and that there
fore the court erred on holding that
refund should be on the horizontal
increase of 1922 on the techni-
cality of no proper notice.
Il have faith enough in the SUI
preme Court that when this case is
properly presented reversal of this
decision will be forthcoming, the
zoercher letter states.
Brown gives as his reason for
writing "the many wild and unwar-
ranted statements that were made
at the Chamber of Commerce
meeting"
Injustice on Taxpayers
He says that the board does not
believe that any great injustice has
been done by the horizontal in
creases and that the refunding
(Which Marion County alone is at
tempting), will work greater injus-
tice on present taxpayers.
1--WE quite agree that if any tax
payer can establish that during the
years In question he was required
to pay in excess of the amount re-
quired of other taxpayers on an
equal amount and value of property,
to the extent of such excess or in
jury such taxpayer is entitled to re-
endorsement with interest" he says.

SURVEY TO FIX SALE
OF RADIO APPARATUS
Marshall T. Jones Announces Plan
to Determine Volume of Pur-
chases by U. S. Fans.

An undertaking Of paramount sig.
nificance to the radio industry was
announced by Marshall T. Jones,
chief Of the electrical equipment di-
vision Of the Department of Com
merce, when he made known plans
for survey to determine how much
radio apparatus is being sold by deal
ers Throughout the country.
Thousands Of questionnaires have
been mailed out by this governmental
agency for the purpose OF compiling
an aggregate each quarter of radio
stocks on hand. Deducting these
from the total shipments by leading
manufacturers-the four who do IS
per cent OF the country's business
have assented to the plant Is ex-
pected that the number Of sets and
amount of parts can be determined.
Cooperation Of all dealers has been
asked by Mr.. Jones, who assures
them that their figures will be kept
absolutely confidential and are want
ed only for the purpose Of arriving
at an aggregate. The Government
was asked to undertake this survey
because it was felt that a private
association would not be trusted as
readily by individual dealers, fearful
lest their business figures reach COM
petitors. This will be the first official
census ever taken in the industry.
The results will be issued by States
as well as the total. so that the
manufacturers and distributors will
know where TO concentrate their sales
efforts.

| new HIGH-POWER
TRANSMITTER O. K.
Proves Successful in Bellmore Tests
and Will Continue to Broad
cast Programs.

The new high-power WEAF trans
mitter at Bellmore, Long Island. Is
an outstanding radio success. accord
ing to DR.. Alfred N. Goldsmith, chair
man of the board of consulting en-
gineers of the National BroadcaSting
Co.
'"The new 50.kilowatt transmitter at
Bellmore has handled the regular
WEAF program since Monday and
will continue in regular service, "
said DIR. Goldsmith. Throughout
earlier tests it seemed as IL this trans
mitter would exceed it's pre.calculated
performance by at least so per cent.
Since Monday results are even more
encouraging and show that the eX-
pectations of the engineers may be
exceeded by 100 per cent. In fact, the
performance of Bellmore has proved
to be really remarkable. From all
parts of New York City, including
Brooklyn, the Bronx. and even from
the strongly signal-absorbing resi-.
dental districts on the East and West
Sides come consistent reports that the
same powerful signal is given by
WEAF as by its New Jersey twin
station WIZ.
"In New Jersey itself the signals
while naturally not quite SO unneces-
sarily powerful as those from the
nearby former transmitter at West
street, New York. are nevertheless Of
entirely ample loudness. Listeners in
this district will be able to tune in
WEAF sharply and clearly.
'Astonishingly few complaints have
been received. but there has been a
universal flood of congratulate tions on
the unusually rich and full tone
quality of the signals from the Bell
more WEAF.
The policy of the station will be
to carry forward broadcasting de-
veIopment through continuous tech
nicaI Investigations. Accordingly a
number of minor improvements will
be made in the station equipment and
operation during the next few months
and present results. satisfactory as
they are. are regarded as only pre-
liminary and will certainly be even
further surpassed as the station is
steadily increased in efficiency of
equipment. method of radiation and
operation"
