HI SUGGESTED UPON RADIO SETS.
(llt9 Ble)tllrt Ik6 Pro- Dold to M boldclstAs

Washington. May 10 N-A sus- ssstisa that . small tax be levied ea radls receiving sets to bear the hsesdcasting costs was made today by 1snstor Breokhart. republican, Iowa, before the senate interstate commerce commission which is con aidering bill to group radio. tele- graph, telephone and cable com- municatioa under one governpental beAy.
 Brookhart also inquired of Louis c. Caldwell. former general coun- Ssl of the radio commission who ap- pearsd aS . witness, whether there was "any reason why the xovern- ment could not take over the whole broadcastinx business.
 No" the witness answered, eA- plaining there were no legal diffi- culties in the way.
 The question of censorship of ad. vertising over the air also arose when Chairman Couzens. author Of the bill. referred to ''the propriety" of advertising recently sent out by q cigarette manufacturer.
 Should broadcasters be permit ted to encourage the use of cigar cites in the home?" he asked.
 Those questions" Caldwell an swered, will be decided by the pub- lie. In renewing licenses for broad- I, ho cretion of considering past per- formance of the stations and for the present, at least, that seems to be sufficient safeguard"
 Caldwell added that it costs the larger stations from $200,0O0 to $lOo.o annually to operate for which the receiver pays nothing. ''che expense" he said. must be borne by revenue from advertising"
 "The only excuse. then for adver. tising." said Senator Pittman, demo crat, Nevada. ''is the revenue"
 Pittman suggested there are other things of 50 much greater educa- tional value that the public probably will find way to obtain them in place of advertising
 Unless you tax receiving sets, he said. the commission must be al. lowed to draw the line as between good and bad features of programs broadcast
 Senator Dill, democrat, Washing ton. expressed the opinion that tho taAinK proposal would "have to travel . long road" before it could be enacted into law.
 Tt would run into constant diff Cultics" Caldwell agreed.
 Senator Wagner. democrat. New York, asked whether the radio com- n,ission had power to inquire into the kind of programs presented"
 T think i, has," Caldwell replied.

in this city.
Going into . store on Main street

trations therein did not meet with
the mayors approval. He admitted
he wouldn't be seen with 1t in good
company. He failed to buy 1t.
Then he asked for other ''sexy''
magazines. He looked them over
ca1efully and did not appear to be
much impressed with their literary
value, but remained non-committal.
Complaint having been voiced
against ''True Stories" he also look
cd that over. He was told that Il
10 the biggest selling magazine In
the world. His conclusion was that
1T has met the demands of the class
Of trade for which 1t was printed.
and he agreed that everybody can't
be reading the Atlantic Monthly"
The general run OF the popular
magazines did not meet with the
mayors disapproval. He observed
