If you play golf, tennis, baseball
football, checkers, chess, billiards
polo or even shoot dice, there's a tax
in it for Uncle Sam.
Likewise, it's all the same if YOU

shoot with bow and arrow, box with

For on sporting goods of every sort
Except those used in games by chill

ground and gymnasium equipment)
there is a 10 per cent federal tax un-
der the new revenue bill designed to
balance the federal budget. Experts
estimate it will yield $4,000 900.
This, like many others, is a tax
placed on the sale price of the manu-
facturer or importer. In most cases,
1t is passed along to the consumer
the retail price being quietly raised
to cover the tax. In other cases, the
tax is appended to the retail price
as such. In certain small items it
is absorbed by the dealer.
Thus, when q golfer buys a new
75-cent ball to replace the one he
has lost in the tall grass, Uncle Sam
gets tax equal to 10 per cent of the
manufacturers sale price, though the
retailer may collect IL cents. Like
wise, on 50-cent tennis ball.
The 10 per cent tax extends to

CURTIS VS.. GARNER
IS UNUSUAL CONTEST
Is First Time Presiding Officers
of Both Houses Faced
Each Other

Washington, Aug. 4.-(AP)-The
clatter of broken presidents in the
present campaign is being increased
by the race between Charles Curtis
and John N. Garner, for the vice
presidency.
This is the first time in American
history that both the vice president
and speaker have been candidates for
the same office.
Regardless Of the outcome, they
will preside jointly over the senate
and house during the counting of the
electoral college votes that will for
mally elect the next president and
vice president.
The senate and house will convene
on the second Wednesday of next
February for the enumeration of
votes. Vice President Curtis, on the
right of the rostrum in the house
chamber, and Speaker Garner, on the
left, will preside with the former
welding the gavel.
If Garner wins it will be the first
time a speaker and vice president
elect has sat jointly with a defeated
vice president. If Curtis is reelected,
it will be the first time a vice presi-
dent has defeated speaker for the
vice presidency.
Garner, however, would not be the
first speaker to become vice presi-
dent. Schuyler Colfax Of Indiana,
speaker in the 18Th, seth, and 10th
congresses, became vice president
March 4, 1869.

At the Movies
CAPITOL THEATRE

A little known but highly dramatic
phase OF the great World War is
graphically portrayed in Universal's
THE Doomed Battalion, which was
booked yesterday for early showing
at the Capitol Theatre.
The setting of this unusual war
film is laid in the rugged grandeur
of the Dolomite Alps of Austria,
where thrilling battles between Aus
trian and Italian mountain troops de-
cided important issues in the recent
struggle of nations.
Tala Birell, brilliant European star
Of many Continental triumphs, makes
her American debut as the loyal wife
of an Austrian mountain guide, who
must harbor the man commissioned
to destroy her husbands company.
The tense situation and its exciting
solution provide the screen with one
of the most dramatic sequences af-
forded in years, according to advance
reports.
Other featured members of the cast
of THE Doomed Battalion" include
Luis Trenker, Victor Varconi, and
Henry Armetta. The picture was d.
rected by Cyril Gardner. Luis Trenk-
err for many years actually lived the
part he enacts in this picture. The
opening date of 'The Doomed Bat
talon" will be announced soon.

yer middle west to the Pacific coast
there are many who are vocal in their
support of the president, but one
feels a strong undercurrent against
him If you get away from the white
collar citizens and mix with the great
rabble who are pounding pavements
for work and panhandling tourists
for meals. Wisecracks at Hoover in
the theaters bring a great laugh not
exactly complimentary.
Important newspapers of the state,
except the Hearst system, are for
Hoover. Hearst is going the limit,
as only he can go, for Roosevelt and
Garner. State headquarters. both in
the North and the South, have been
opened for Roosevelt.
An influential group in Los An.
geles, comprising well known Repub-
licans, have organized a Roosevelt
Republican club. A recent poll OF a
rather conservative Republican club
IN Los Angeles showed a very de-
cided leaning toward Roosevelt.
These are just political rebellions,
the Importance of which it is hard
to gauge at this early stage of the
campaign. There is a more serious
trend away from Republican loyalty.
and that Is evident in the great in
crease IN Democratic registrations. In
some political divisions the trend is
alarming to the. Republican bosses.
In the primaries scheduled for Aug
ust many will register as Republicans
to vote for local Republican candi-
dates, but they have announced that
IN the fall they will scratch their
ballot and not vote it straight. Cali
fornia Republicans have had a habit
OF voting it straight, but party align
ments nave been shattered under the
pressure of economic conditions.

an acknowledgment of the Republic

sion or repeal in a way intended to
prevent the return of the saloon and

Others hold the president will dis
cuss the issue at length, defining in
detail his own views on the prohibi-
ton problem.
But from one outstanding prohi-
bltion leader Thursday-Dr. Edwin
G. Dinwiddie, executive secretary of
the prohibition board of strategy
came the remark:
"Some of us don't think it will
change the picture much"
Dinwiddie did not elaborate this
statement, made during an interview,
but already has said he personally
will support the president.
