to encourage private airplane ownership

RADIO COPYRIGHT
: FIGHT STILL RACES
Composers Want Higher
Fees-Broadcasters, Thea
ters and Others Ask Limit.
BY ROBERT MACK.

Around that little phrase, by Spe-
cial permission of the copyright own
er," Is being waged vigorous onslaught
on Capitol Hill, little noticed except
by the many groups directly involved.
Off and on during the past two
months this battle has been fought be-
lore the House Patents Committee, of
which Representative William l. Siro-
vich of New York is chairman. The
skirmishes have arisen during conSid-
Grafton of the Sirovich copyright bill,
which gained widespread attention
when the chairman charged dramatic
critics with running the show business
by unfair reviews.
"ExtortiOn" Is Charged.
The copyright owners" portrayed as
the villains in this congressional drama,
have been attacked by broadcasting sta
tions, hotels, motion picture houses and
others who use copyrighted music.
Officially called the American Society
OF Composers, Authors and Publishers
this group is charged with assessing
''extortionate' fees from users of copy
righted music, and with being a monop-
oily which is not subjected to Govern
ment control.
Radio stations, the committee was
told, pay this society about $l.000,000
year lie LC play Tie uuSlC
controlled by it. But, they claim, the
society has served notice that it intends
to double rates all down the line. The
broadcasters assert that the society does
not control all copyrighted music, but
that other groups, mainly foreign, are
''muScling in" and demanding tribute
from broadcaSterS on the ground that
their copyrighted compositions have
been infringed. The minimum copy
right infringement fee under the pres
ent law is $3.50. 1t would be reduced
to 100 by the Sirovich bill
Music Plugged" to Death.
Broadcasters say they can't pay any
more. The composers assert that with
out their music there would be no
modern music. They say, further, that
radio plugs" their music to death;
that sheet music sales have dropped
from imposing figures to practically nil
since radios advent and that racio has
killed phonograph record sales, depict
ing that source Of royalty revenue to
composers, authors and publishers.
Ten cents a seat" is the plant of
the motion picture theatsr Eowner. He
says the society charges him 10 cents
seat a year, whether he plays copy
righted music or not. The hotel own
ers assert that the society now wants
to place an assessment against them on
music picked up by radios placed in
guest rooms, on the ground that it
represents a perform ance for profit,
and that the copyright owner therefore
is entitled to his royalty. The hotels
and the radio stations contend that
hotel radio set is not an original source
and that the radio station involved in
the first instance has paid the royalty
to the copyright owner.

Capt. Boone replied, pointing to his
Croix de Guerre with palm, that he al
ready had been honored in high fash
ion by France.
Marshal Petain turned to his per-
sonal aide, Gen. de Chambrum, and
said to him, AN officer who is thus
honored for distinguished service should
be a credit to the membership of the
Legion d'Honneur
Nothing more was heard Of the matter
until yesterday, when Capt. Boone re-

him for this great French military
honor.

LONDON. July Is. Despite the

spotted dog fever.
For some unknown reason, the Dal-
nation is having another day. thereby
reminding dog fanciers and others that
animals of this species, which used 10
trot along behind carriages and galiop
with fire engine steeds to scenes OF con-

theless. they are so much in style now
awavs that there is an acute shortage
of the spotted and intelligent boWWoWS.
They had become scarce as a result OF
the notorization of the country and the
Hhims of dog fashion.
AS there was an old saying that Ito
meet and greet spotted dog Will bring
YOU luck" there may be bid for bet
ter fortune in these days OF adversely

on the pedestal of public appreciation

Club staged an exhibition at Tattersalls

Of this species were only IT; now it has

COOLIDGE ARGUES
FOR A SALES TAX
"Soak the Rich" Policy Is a
Grave Threat to Democ-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July l5.-A general
sales tax is advocated by Calvin Cool
idge IN an article appearing in today's
Golfers Weekly.
The former President also writes that
excessive taxation of a comparatively
small number of rich people is a grave
threat to the whole structure Of Amer
ican democracy.
Many are beginning to wonder" he
writes. IF it would not be wise to sup
plement our system of taxation by pro-
providing that large number of people
should pay a small but certain direct
tax.
The levies on tobacco and gasoline
produce very large revenue, which IS
not burdensome to the consumer The
extension Of such a system to many
other commodities would seem to be in
complete harmony with the spirit OF a
Self-governing people"
Excusable in Emergency.
II 1t is necessary to meet an emer-
gency," ne also writes, excessively high
taxes on a few large incomes and in
heritanCes might be made temporarily
without great injury. But TO adopt
such system permanently and, under
the pretenSe of raising revenue. pursue
policy of appropriation and attempted
redistribution of wealth would have the
graveSt consequences.
One OF two things would be likely to
result:
Enterprise would be stified. accumu-
lations of property would be dissipated
and condition of depression would
become chronically progressive, with a
falling standard Of living. economic suf-
fering and a great poverty on the part
of the people.
The other alternative would be the
creation OF class Of great wealth, who
would have large control Of the Gov
ernment because it would be dependent
on their money for its support.
Age of Overlords.
THAT would be the recreation Of the
age Of overlords. The rest of us would
be reduced to dependency. In either
case the people would lose.
There is always a temptation in time
Of adversely to think anything would
be better than that which We have
Our system has worked better
and is now working better than any
other that was ever devised.
I'VE cannot expect perfection. We
do expect improvement. But that Is nc

dividend PAYMENT
| ORDERED HELD UP
Wisconsin Utilities Told Not
to Pay Pending Hearing
Before Commission.
By .he Associated Press,

by me Associated PresS,
MADISON, Wis, July 15.-The State
Public Service Commission today issued
a temporary order directing several
large utilities in Wisconsin to withhold
dividends on their common stock pend
ing hearing before the commission.
The utilities affected were the Com
monWealth Telephone Co, the Wiscon-
sin Power & Light Co, the Northern
States Power Co, the Interstate Power
Co, the Northern Power Co., the Wis
conSin Hydroelectric Co. and the Inter-
state Light & Power Co.
The order, the FIRST of its nature in
the history Of the commission and au-
thoriZed under a statute passed by the
1881 Legislature, was issued to preserve
the financial stability Of the utilities
and TO protect the bond and preferred
stock holders and consumers, the COM
mission stated.
All Of the common stock of the utili-
ties coming under the order, the COM
mission said. was held by holding
companies and none was in the hands
Of the public.
In its order to the Commonwealth
Telephone Co. the commission pointed
out in summary We find that any
further payment Of common DIVIDENDS
will constitute payment Of dividends
out OF capital and thus produce an i'm
pairment Of the capital Of this utility,
and that until a hearing on the subject
can be held and testimony presented by
the company indicating that this prima
facie conclusion based upon our own
investigation is not correct no dividends
shall be paid by this company on its
common stock"

PLUMBING LICENSE
MEASURE is SIGNED
New Bill Regulates Business, Civ.
ing Commissioners Powers
of Revoca ton.

President Hoover late yesterday signed
an act of Congress to amend an act OF
1923 regulating plumbing and gas fitting
in the District. The bill gives the Com
iinissioners authority to revoke licenses
fer cause, as well as establishing new
license fees for master plumbers.
The bill has been sought for some
.time by District officials, who pointed
out the need for authority to revoke
licenses last Winter, when master
plumber was held for grand jury action
because of alleged faulty installation OF
gas outlets in a chimney f1ue.
The District authorities had no re-
course, save through the grand jury,
which refused to indict the plumber,
who was held in the deaths of man
and his wife, following coroner's in
quest.
Similar cases had been recorded for
emorly.
Under the license section of the bill.
the cost of licensing may be set at from
, $40 to s25, in the discretion of the
Commissioners.
