INCOME TAX
BILL FOUGHT
Business Men Make 0bieC-
ton to State Senate.

A Joint statement from the In
dianapolis and State CHAMBER OF
Commerce, Indiana Manufacturers
Association and Indiana Bankers
Association, opposing the proposed
state income tax amendment to the
Constitution, was presented to the
senate today.
The statement was prepared at a
meeting late Tuesday OF an investl-
eating committee approinted at a
joint meeting Monday of repre-
sentatives of the four organizations.
The 1927 legislature passed state
income tax amendment, which must
be approved by both legislative
branches at the present general as
sembly before it can be submitted
by referendum to the people.
The proposed amendment is
backed by the farmers of the state,
The statement pointed out the pro-
posed tax would not benfit agri-
culture but would injure industry.
The joint statement opposes the
measure with the charge that in
states having state income tax the
relief from property taxes is slight
and then only temporary as prop
erty taxes rise higher than before.
Another reason given for opposi-
ton is that such a tax raises only
about 21a per cent of the total
state and local taxes. In addition, it
is alleged, the tax is harmful to in
duStrial progress of the state.
Only three northern industrial
states between Colorado and the
Atlantic have such tax, four states
have repealed it, and only twelve
states in the country now have
such a tax, the report points out.

SWAMP is SET
AFIRE TO BURN
OUT CANISTER
Pursuers Close in to End
Wild Chase by Train
and Auto.

BB United Press
NYACK, N. Y, Jan. 23.-Soughi
by a posse of deputy sheriffs, state
troopers and national guardsmen
Vincent De Metro, New York gang
ster, today hid behind trees and
rocks in a burning swamp near New
York City.
In De Metros wake we're left a
constable so badly beaten he is not
expected to live, 60-year-old man
who put the gangster to flight and
a railroad conductor nursing a bat
tered jaw.
Train Is Halted
De Metro appeared at Orengeburg
State hospital here while employees
we're being paid. Special Officer
Walter EdtmonSen, in uniform, ap-
preached him. De Metro fed, driv-
ing off in laborer's auto, with
Edtmonsen following in his own ma
chine. At Tappan, the fugitive
leaped onto a train moving out of
the station to Weehawken. The
officer fired at him, the bullet pass
ing through window, hurting no
one.
Conductor Edward Stewart
grappled with the gangster, who
floored him. The engineer had
thought the pistol shot was tor
pedo signal to stop, and halted the
train. De Metro was caught between
Edtmonsen and two officers, Edit
monsen taking the gangster with
him in his car.
Judge John w. Hill in Piermont
held De Metro for assault and at
tempted robbery.
Botes Off Finger
Constable Theodore Berwaldt was
ordered to take De Metro to New
City Jail. Just outside of West Ny
ack, De Metro smashed his hand
cuffs down on Berwaldt's head, and
turned the automobile into a tele-
phone pole. The car overturned.
Berwaldt reached for his revolver,
but before he could produce it, De
Metro bit finger off his right
hand. Under the wreckage, De
Metro found a wrench and beat the
constable inSensible, fracturing his
skull and gouging out his right eye.
Sheriff John NcNee organized
posse, and ordered the swamp set
afire. After flames roared through
the heavy grass and cat tails, the
posse entered. Jersey troopers
guarded boundary line roads. Bear
Mountain bridge was closed and the
Bear Mountain park police started
a search in the preserve.
De Metro took the handcuff key
from Berwaldt's pocket, released
himself and waited until Leon r.
Dunkley of New York City drove by.
De Metro jumped onto the running
board of Dunkley'S auto. struck
Dunkley with a wrench and ordered
him to drive through West Nyack.
Passing West Nyack, Dunkley re-
fused to go farther and put up
such a fight that De Metro fleo
into a swamp.

they did well, any guest win testify.
Mr.. Andreen brought a message to
the Legion men and dwelt at consid-
cradle length on its accomplishments
emphasizing the Veterans Hospital
and it's wonderful work for good and
citing the fact that the Legion or
ganization was responsible fir its
existence. Mr.. Scotch addressed his
remarks to the Boy Scouts, holding
their interest and impartirg his en-
thusiasm to them. Moving pictures
of the summer camp at Lake Wash
ington near Mankato were shown and
much enjoyed. Eighteen invitations
were sent to boys eligible to member
ship and eighteen boys responded and
the were: Harold Walker, Leonard

That trouble sometimes does not
come sirgly was brought to realiza-
ton in the Gerhard homes this past
week. Called to Owatonna by the
serious illness of her son, Walters
wife, Mrs. Mary Gerhard left on
Friday for that city to care for the
family, knowing that her son Joseph
was ill in the Veterans Hospital,
Fl. Smelling, but unaware that it
was more than chronic trouble, for
which he was receiving treatment.
The operation on Mrs. Walter Geb-
hard being successful, all seemed
well, when news came Saturday eve
ming of the sudden passing of her son
Joseph. Suffering for some time with
chronic bronchial throat trouble, but
otherwise in good health, he decided
upon the advice of doctors to enter
the Veterans hospital for treatment.
Serum enjected seemed to aggravate
his case. His wife visited him on
Saturday afternoon and found him
cheerful and feeling better. Left
alone by the nurse short time lat
ter he was seized with a severe
coughing spell and was gone before
his wife had reached home.
Funeral services were held from
the Church of the Ascension, Tues
day morning at nine o'clock and the
body taken to Winsted, the home of
his wife, for short services and bur-
ial. The shock of his sudden passing
has been a severe one to his mother,
wife and near ones and deep SYM
pathy is extended to them in their
bereavement.

AS part of a vast program for the
enlightenment of the peasant
classes 1851 rural schools we're OPP
ened during the year by the federal
government. Because OF shortage Of
funds the government provided cir
cult teachers" for these schools.
There are $50 new "headquarter"
schools and 2.099 dependent schools.
~ The government rural schools in

Educational Paper
In an effort to reach the rural
communities with cultural knowl-
edge q newspaper called Ell Sem
brador' or The Sewer" has been
established by the department Of
education. and Is being distributed

per Is both for adults and children,

and poetry.
Such celebrated artists as Diego
