Answer Filed In
Suit Over Garage

Establishing a counter claim by
the assertion that A. R. Under
wood and C. L. Gillett failed to
live up to their agreement in leas-
ing a garage near the county court
house to S. o. Lingo, the latter
yesterday afternoon filed cross
complaint asking judgment OF $500
alleged damages.
Underwood and Gillett filed suit
several weeks ago asking S1875 as
sertedly due as rent for the gar
age.
In his cross-complaint Lingo
charged that Underwood and Gill
lett agreed to keep the garage
equipment in order if Lingo would
repair any breakage. They failed
and refused to put a gas pump in
perfect working condition and to
stop roof leaks, Lingo alleged.
Through this failure, he said, he
lost patronage and was damaged
to the extent of s400.

 EVERYTHING IN PRESENT VIEW

By'LYLE c. WILSON

Limited Press Stan COrrcspOndcntl
 Washington, May 3--(UP)-A tax which reaches directly every where from the corner of Broad and Wall streets in New York city to cross-roads-in- -the-sticks de. fnanded attention of the senate finance committee.
 The largest single item Is a pos- tai increase, including an increase from two to three cents in first class mail rates. It wiuld produce $1s6.ooo,ooo. Present plans to complete committee work on the $1,O00, 100000 (B) bill tomorrow require immediate disposition of the postal item.
 The protested stock sales tax which stock exchange executives assert would drive the market out of, business also is scheduled for confederation today or tomorrow. It would produce $70, 000,0 900. A third center of dispute Is the pro- posalsto permit revaluation of estates for income tax purp6ses. Such revaluation would take into consideration depreciation of in- herited wealth under conditions of depressions.
 Muiti-mlllion dollar levies have gone in and out 50 rapidll since the committee began consideration of the bill that none knows now whether the measure would bal. ance the budget. Treasury experts were unable yesterday to report to the committee exactly what had been achieved in the way of poten. tial revenue but tentative figures were expected today.
 { Observers cited the brief life of the taxes pari-mutuel horse race wagering as an instance of hurried and unstudied taxation. The tax ator Tydings, dem., Md, in whose state four pari-mutuei tracks oper- ate, appeared before tho commit tee and destroyed the tax in 10 minutes.
 The committee immediately withdrew the pari-mutuel tax and substituted 26 per cent levy on all race. course admissions, at Q sacrifice of considerable revenue. Taxes on telephone and tele. graph messages have been extend. ed by the committee to transmits. sion of news. Wires leased for news transmission or for radio broadcasts would be taxed at q rate of per cent of the rental charge until July l, 1894 under a committee amendment eliminating exemptions contained In the house bill. 4N
 The tax on wort, fixed at five cents q gallon by the house, was raised by tho senate to 10 and again to 16 cents. Wort Is used In the manufacture of home brew.
