EXPERTS ADVISE
TAXLAW MAKERS
Economics Professors to Tell
Kansas Legislature How to
ReWrite Measures. =
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA. Kans., January 2.-Three
taXwise men-they are economics pro-
fessors--will tell the Kansas LegiSla-
ture how the tax laws should be re-
written.
Dissatisfaction with the present sys-
tenn of taxation has been general in
this State for many years. but little has
been done to change it because of re-
luctance to try something new.
For this reason Clyde NJ. Reed, the
governor -elect, believes the problem
needs the attention of men who have
devoted their livs to its study, and
motivated by this idea he has asked
the three economists to diagnose the
taxation ills Of Kansas and to suggest
definite remedies.
Tax Cuts Pledged.
The taxwise men called into clinical
consultation with lawmakers are JenS
P. Jensen, professor of economies at
the University of Kansas: Harold Howe,
assistant professor of agricultural eco
Monies at the Kansas State Agricultural
College, and Eric Englund, head of the
agricultural finance division in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and former professor of agricul-
tural economics at the Kansas State
Agricultural College.
Gov-elect Reed and both branches
of the Legislature are pledged by the
Republican platform to free real es-
tate from the assessment burden of
S8,000.000 a year imposed by State
levy and to leave land as a source
of revenue for local government only.
New sources of State revenue will
be suggested by the three economists.
h. 7 anrtel la. iv, To,
uary both Prof. Jensen and Prof. Howe
will be on hand to tell what they
know about the success of taxes on
incomes. gross production of minerals
amuSements and luXurieS.
Prof. Englund will come from WASH
ington when William M. Jardine, Sec
retary of Agriculture, can spare him.
He already has presented his ideas at
a conference between legislatorS-elect
and farmers, bankers, merchants and
other taxpayers At this conference
he advocated State income tax.
Legislature in Doubt.
An amendment to the Kansas con-
stitution empowered the Legislature
four wears ago to fix low, uniform
tax rate on moneys and credits, includ
ing bonGs, stocks, mortgages and other
forms of Intangible property Since the
Legislature has been in doubt as to
what the rate on intangibles should
be, one session making it 2.5 mills and
another raising it to mills, Profs.
Jensen and Howe will make specific
recommendations about the problem.
"These tax experts will submit their
own ideas, not mine the governor
elect says. What they offer the
Legislature can take or leave alone, as
it sees it,"

LOVE INTEREST IN
 FAIRBANKS PICTURE

For the first time since Douglas Fairbanks has been in motion pie lures he has produced a motion picture in which only two women appear. It is "The Black Pirate, to be shown at the Coliseum Thursday and Friday
 The women seen in this pro ductien are Billie Dove, leading lady, and Tempe Pigott, maid to the heroine.
 The fact that cnly two feminine players appear is accounted for by the nature of the story which is romantic in the extreme. 'The Black Pirate" is a rip-roaring tale of the sea, reflecting the spirit Of Seventeenth Century piracy, and in consequence is dominated by men. But the adventure of the star is a rapid fire love affair.
 Billie Dove, her exquisite beauty standing form in sharp contrast to the rugged background formed by several hundred picturesque pi rates, is said to present her very best screen interpretation.

 Eternal conflict between youth and old age forms the basis of the comedy, which is tempered with tragedy and drama A young man, Skinner, is told to fire all the. old help and get new blood.

Lest anyone think that Chicago has monopoly on underworld dramas, along comes Gotham Pro ductions with "San Francisco Nights" now at the Palace Theatre and offers a really intelligent story with thei major parts of it laid on the famous old "Barbary Coast and the characters all denizens of the metropolis of the Western underworld and yet does not in- dulge in an orgy Of crime or in discriminate bloodshed.
 With Percy Marmont as the star a refined intelligent impersona- tion is looked for-and given. When you add to this a really re- markable performance by Mae Busch assthe dance nall girl who longs for something better than her life and a perfect WOW" of a characterization by Tom O. Brien as tough, but good-hearted bouncer in honky tonk cabaret, the spectator has something to remember for quite a while.

and north by a great wholesale land commission market, and by the pivotal point of the nations railways on the south.
 There was no hint of greatness in the street of 1852, when one of Chicago's early banks was op- ened then by Seth Paine, an ad- vocate of spiritualism.
 In the hall above his bank Paine and his friends gathered in seances to call on the shade of IAlexander Hamilton for financial advice.
 Perhaps this counsel was not sound, for the bank failed-but perhaps the failure was due to the rigid tenets Paine prescribed. His banking rules included the following:
 we loan to no one to pay debts.
 We loan to no one to aid in murder of anything which has life.
 We loan nothing on real es- tate- believing that real estate cannot be bought and sold and that possession with use is the only title.
 We loan nothing to aid in making or selling intoxicating liquors or tobacco in any of it's forms"
 That was in 1852. Today, in the quadrangle of a dozen blocks Icentering about La Sale Street, banks with deposits cf more than $2,0O0, 100000 are doing business and hundreds of brokers maintain offices.
 Over the tables and in the pits |of the Board of Trade 4O0,00O,- 900 bushels of wheat alone are traded yearly.
 The Stock Exchange, already known as the greatest center of trading in public utility securi- ties, is beginning to assume an air of importance, with it's 200 per cent growth in transactions and 1,5O0 per cent advance in membership values 'rring the last year.
