GOES ON STAGE

LOS ANGELES, March 81. U.Pl-
Eunice Pringle, attractive young
brunette dancer, today had begun
her fight for a career on the stage
after recently figuring as COM
planning witness in the sensational
Alexander Pantages trials
Showing good stage presence and
composure, she appeared in the
leading feminine part in some
Baby" a skit which opened last
night in connection with a motion
picture.
The part offered her but little
opportunity to display talent for
acting, the chance she sought.
The play is a farce about an
aged doctor in love with young
girl; a youth, baby and some
others.
Miss Pringle first sought a ca
reer as a dancer. 1t was in con-
nection with efforts to obtain a
place in one of Pantages' produc-
tions that she alleged the wealthy
theatre owner attacked her After
two trials Pantages was acquitted.
Miss Pringle said she had re-
fused numerous offers on the stage
because they involved exploitation
of the PantageS case.

TAX ON
STOCKS
PASSES
House Takes Favorable
Action Despite Objec-
tiOns From New York.
BILL NEARLY READY
Final Vote On Revenue
Measure May Be Taken
During Friday Session.

WASHINGTON. March 81. U.P)-
The house today approved tax
schedule which would more than
double the levy on stock market
transactions. A tax of Il of one
per cent on the selling price was
written into the billion dollar tax
bill over the objection of the New
York delegation.
The provision specifies the tax to
be not less than four cents a share.
The tax under present law is two
cents.
The vote was 2O7 to 80.
On the basis of a $17,000,000 bus
mess expected on the exchange this
year, the tax would raise between
SOS 100000 and $75000,000 for the
budget balancing program.
The new tax was part of the
Democratic Republican coalition
plan. 1t was the last big remain
ing feature of the substitute sched-
ule for the sales tax. Other main
items of the program already have
been adopted. Only minor details
remain to be acted upon.
When these are cleaned up, the
house will pass the tax bill tomor-
row.

BE PLACED ON
APRIL BALLOT
City Council Decides To
Put Sewer Construction
Before Voters.

Members of the Ell Centro city
council gathered last night for
what may be the last time three
of them, or any one of the three,
will sit on the citys governing
body.
Matters dealing with the State
street crossing, the proposed new
outfall sewer and unemployment re-
lief were discussed in the last
meeting before w. j. Clements,
Fred Gianola and r. E. Couch will
stand for reelection at the April 5
election.
An ordinance placing the pro-
posed $185,000 outfall sewer propos-
ition before the voters was finally
adopted, and Phil knights. city
engineer, was directed to appear be-
fore various service clubs and civic
organizations to explain the need
of such a new sewer line to Ell
Centro.
A resolution was adopted where
by the council decided 90 per cent
of the cost of the State street
crossing shall be, changed against
the assessment district affected by
the improvement, and the remain
ing 40 per cent of the cost shall
be charged against the remainder
of the city at large. H. w. Faw-
cett was the only member of the
council casting an objecting vote to
this proposition.
The resolution followed a general
discussion between members of the
State Street improvement associa-
ton and the councilmen. The city
engineer was directed to prepare a
schedule OF proportionate costs on
the basis of assessed valuations,
and also on the basis of benefits to
the properties affected.
Representatives of the central re-
lief committee appeared before the
council to report that approximate
ly $4,000 will be necessary to con-
tinue the work of the Red Cross
and Salvation Army through the
year, and to ask that the council
appropriate approximately $4,000 of
this amount, since the salary fund
has already been expended for re-
lief work.
The representatives suggested the
relief organization might be forced
to disband if the necessary funds
to carry on the work are not re-
ceived from some source. They were
advised to appear before the coun-
Gil in its April 6 meeting to discuss
the matter.
An estimate from the Imperial r.
rigation District was submitted to
the council, giving approximately
$3.50 as the cost of a skinner at
the head of the Date canal, to hold
back heavy silt. The coucil agreed
to bear one-half the expense of
such a skinner, after the saving in
maintenance had been pointed out.
