HEARINGS SET FOR
2 DRY LAW BILLS
Anti Saloon League Fails
in Tactical Move to
Prevent Action.

Interest Of members of the gen
eral assembly is focused on two
hearings set for Tuesday and
Wednesday night on two dry law
modification bills.
The Tuesday night hearing will
be devoted to a bill to amend the
Wright bone dry law to permit pre-
scription of physicians of whisky
for medicinal purposes. The second
hearing will be for the purpose of
discussing outright repeal Of the
state dry law.
1t was learned today that Indiana
.Anti-Saloon League officials had at
tempted to have the hearing on the
Wright law repeal bill held first in
the hope that on a division, the
measure would be postponed in
definitely in the house.
Such action on the repeal bill, it
is asserted under the house rules,
indefinitely would postpone for this
session all discussion of prohibition
law anendatory bills, and the con-
Sideration of the medicinal whisky
amendment automatically would be
halted.
In order to avert this possibility
the hearing on the medicinal whisky
bill will be held Tuesday night and
the repeal discussion Wednesday
night.

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions Of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up stubborn, lingering cough. It
takes but a moment to prepare and
costs little, but it gives real relief even
for those dreaded coughs that follow
severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 215 ounces of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and Ill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
a full pint of better remedy than you
could buy raady-made for three times
the cost. It never spoils and tastes so
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe and heal the infamed throat
membranes with surprising ease, but
also it is absorbed into the blood, and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing of the cough. It loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness
In way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated CON-
pound Of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent Of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful IN
cases Of distressing coughs, chest colda.
and bronchial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
II ID guaranteed TO give prompt relief
4 money refunded.

children of Mrs. Anna McVay, 90,

into the Jurisdiction Of Porter cir
cult court by Judge Mark B. Rocket

The order followed appearance in

their share of the burden.
Commenting on the case, Judge

''It seems strange that when a

common decency for any child to
support his mother, regardless of

z INCOME INCOME TAX
BILLS READY To
Be SUBMITTED
House Is Scheduled to Get
Carefully Prepared
Measures Today.

Drafted carefully to guard against
unconstitutionality, the long-awaited
personal and corporation income
tax bills we're to make their bow to-
day to the house OF representatives
with the way paved for prompt pas
sage and presentation to the SEN
ate for final action.
Final check on the two tax meas
ures was made by Paul V. McNutt,
dean OF the Indiana university law
school.
The objects of frequent grooming,
rewriting and amending, the COM
panion Democratic platform pledges
contain provisions assuring abso-
Lutte secrecy or returns, as party
leaders deem safeguard against
tax ferrets essential in view of the
uncertain fate of pending Intangible
tax legislation.
Because the measures were rec
commended by the Governors tax
survey committee and the joint tax
committee of the legislature, in
Guiding Republicans as well as
Democrats, the measures have ia
ken on a bipartisan complexion.
Bush's Opposition Too Much
Members Of the ways and means
committee and Democratic house
leaders point out that should the
assembly fail to pass a classified
property tax act for intangibles, to
coax them from sesquetration by
means Of low rate, that owners
might refuse to list them for in
come taxation if there was the pos
sibility Of tax ferrets learning of
their existence.
Opposition of Lieutenant Cover
nor Ed Bush, senate chief, to an
intangibles tax Is considered an al
most insurmountable obstecle.
The corporation income tax bill
calls for fiat 8 per cent levy on
all net incomes and the personal
income tax bill provide for a slid
ing scale of taxation. Exemptions
include $1,000 for single persons,
$4,000 for married persons with 5000
additions for each dependent.
Penalties Are Listed
Rates range from l per cent on
the first $1,000 of taxable income
to 4 per cent above $4,000 The
first instalment will be paid in 1882
on 1881 incomes.
Secrecy on returns is provided for
by subjecting any tax board en-
ploye who divulges information, to
a $1,000 fine, one-year imprison-
ment or both.
Incomes exempt under the cor
poration bill are those of labor,
agricultural, religious and lodge or
CARNATIONS, building and loan as
sociationS, clubs, farmers nonprof1t
insurance companies, hospitals,
business leagues and other corpora
tons not established for profit.
