COMMITTEE FOR QUIZ
DEBATES PROCEDURE

WASHINGTON. June !. (UP)
The organization of special sub
sidiary companies to take advan-
tagc of income tax exemptions
was revealed today in the queS-
tioning of o. ?. Van Sweringen,
Cleveland railroad magnate, dur
ing the senate Morgan inquiry.
Information regarding the Van
Sweriugen income taxes was dis
closed during the questioning Of
him regarding the purpose behind
the formation of the General Sc
curities Corp, in May. 1927.
The senate banking committee
encountered a real threat to its
further investigation of j. ?. Nor
gan & Company yesterday when
examination of income tax rec
ords of three members of tho
firm was challenged.
So effective was the challenge
of John w. Davis, Morgan lawyer
and 1924 Democratic presidential
candidate, that the committee de-
cided at a secret session yester-
day 20 seek further authority
from the senate if necessary.
Meantime, Senator Arthur Rob-
inson, Repn., Ind, charged on the
floor that efforts are being made
to "whitewash" the Morgan in
quiry. He demanded a full in
vestigatiOn of the company's in
come tax returns.
III the MorganS have been
guilty of tax Irregularities let
them pay the penalty he
snapped. His violent attack pre-
cipitated a general political de-
bate that drew Senate Democratic
Leader Joseph T. Robinson into
the fray with a rebuke Of his In
diana colleague.
The determination of the COM
mittee to press the inquiry was
emphasized by Chairman Duncan
u. Fletcher and by the introduce
ton in the senate of a resolution
authorizing an additional $780,
600 to permit continuance of the
investigation during the recess.
This was sponsored by Senator
Edward P. Costigan, Demr Colo.
Checked once again in the in
come tax inquiry, Ferdinand Pc
cora, committee counsel delved
further into financial operations
through which the Van Sweringen
brothers of Cleveland built up
their gigantic railroad empire.
From the still reluctant elder
brother, O. P. Van Sweringen. no
disclosed the Van SweringenS Dor
rowed 100000 from J. p.
Morgan and Cleveland banks dur
ing acquisition of three of their
railroad properties, the CheSa-
peake & Ohio. the Erie and the
Pere Marquette.
Pecora still was unable to find
any cash outlay by the Cleveland
railroad magnates in buying up
railroads. He obtained only mea-
gre information about some of
the loans.
Van Sweringen'S complete lapse
of memory provoked Senator AL
ben w. Barley, DEM, Ky. who
was presiding to interrupt sharp

EQUALIZATION
ADJUSTMENTS
WILL Be MADE
Horizontal Reduction Takes
Approximately $6,0OO,-
900 Off Tax Books
HAVE UNTIL AUG. |
TO FIX TAX RATE

Real estate values in Hender-
son county will be cut 25 per
cent horizontally from the 1882
figures for the purpose of levy
ing 1888 taxes.
This announcement was made
this morning by T. l.. Durham,
chairman Of the board of county
commissioners, as work of apply
ing the cut was started in the
county auditors office. The &C
ton was voted at an adjourned
meeting of the board last night.
The horizontal cut will reduce
the real estate valuation from
1926 26, the total on which
the present countrywide tax rate
Of 95 cents was fixed, to ST.
719,500, but before a new rate
is fixed the board of equalization
will be in session to adjust valua-
tions of individual properties and
it is probable this figure will be
slightly larger. The board has
until August l to fix the 1888
rate.
Meanwhile personal property
valuations in the county have de-
clined from $1,801,359 in 1882
to approximately S1,000,000, ac-
cording to 1888 tax listing rec
ords. and this huge drop also
must be taken into account in
blishing a new tax rate.
Mr.. Durham would hazard no
guess on the probable rate by
which new taxes will be levied,
but he said that in view of the
tremendous declines in real estate
and personal property valuations
and the steady decrease in the
tag rate since 1929 he felt that
taxpayers should not object if
there Is a slight increase in the
1888 rate. Reference to county
records showed the following
downward movement in total real
estate and personal property
valuations since 1929:
1929 ------ ---S28,694,538
1880 -------- 28,342,803
1881 --------- 28,352,532
1882 --------- 26,S4s,O43
1888 (estimate) 17,719,500
While these valuations have
been declining, the tax rate has
been cut from $1.87 in 1929,
SLIGO in 1880, and $1.15 in 1881
to 95 cents in 1892.
Mr.. Durham said the equaliza-
ton board will meet Monday,
June 10, and continue in session
until Monday. July 3, as required
by law, and that its policy will be
to raise property valuations that
are too low as well as to cut
those that apparently are too
high. The rs per cent horizontal
cut will be applied before any
action is taken by the equaliza-
ton board.
The commissioners at their
meeting last night also adopted a
cash discount schedule for use in
receiving tax payments.
Taxes paid up to and including
October 1, 1888, will be subject
to a 2 per cent discount, those
paid up to to and including Mo-
vember 1 will have 1 per cent
deducted, and those paid up to
and including January /, 1884,
will be subject to IL per cent
reduction. No penalties will be
applied on 1888 taxes as has been
the custom, this action being the
second option in the 1893 ma
chinery act of the legislature re-
lating to discounts and penalties.

Tongue Twisters That
Worry Radio Announcers

Tongue twisters are always inter-
esting, amusing and instructive. They
are used by station authorities to try
out prospective radio announcers. You
can have lots of fun by digging up
few of the most difficult ones to have
your party guests try.
Don't forget to include this one in
your list: 'Esau saw Saul saving.
but Saul saw not Esau while he
sawed, for Esau saw Saul from where
he saw not" Here's another: "The
sea ceaseth and it suffices u.s." Be
sure to have them try their luck, say
ing the following three sentences
rapidly: "a growing CLEAN glowing
green" 'The bleak breeze blighted
the bright broom blossoms" "Flesh
of freshly dried flying fish," 1t is al
most impossible for anyone to repeat
them correctly If they do it fast.
Almost equally difficult are the fol-
lowing "Six thick thistle sticks"

"Give Grimes Jim's great gilt gig
whip" "Strict, strong Stephen String
er shared Sticky six sickly silky
snakes" "She stood at the door of

a single federal soldier was left on
that field when the fight ended in mid
afternoon. How complete was the
Confederate victory on that day was
disclosed after the war by General
Meade, who said that If General Lee
had followed and placed his batteries
on CUPS hill that evening the federal
army would have been forced to with
draw.
One need only climb the observation
tower near the site Of General Meade's
headquarters and from that vantage
appreciate the tremendous price the
Confederates were destined to pay on
the second and the third for their vic
tory of the first. For here Nature had
provided General Meade with a verit-
able citadel ready for fertilization, in
which to await an attack, and events
had given the Army Of the Potomac
time to occupy this position and en-
trench itself.
Here the legions Of Lee endeavored
to overpower their gallant foes Of
many Virginia battle field. Here
they waded through blood at the Peach
Orchard and the Wheatfield; here they
faced the most whitening blasts that
war at its bitterest could bring upon
them, as they struggled for possession
of Devils Den and the rocky heights
Of Little Round Top, where the issue
hung on the quick eye of General
Warren and the matter of a few min
utes.
Thrice victory eluded the grasp of
Lee in the fighting of the second day.
Night closed down upon the frightful
scene of carnage with the flower
of StOnewall Jackson's old corps in
Meade's trenches, on the southern
slope of CUPS Hill, within $50 feet of
Meade's line of retreat and close to his
reserve parked artillery. There they
slept on their arms, little dreaming
how close they were to victory, as
they settled down to fitful slumber.

Never did any commander face his
problem under greater difficulty than
did Gen. George Gordon Meade. At
three o'clock on the morning of June
IS, less than so hours before the great
battle opened, he was awakened in
his tent at the headquarters of the
Fifth corps, which he had been COM
handing. An officer from Washing
ton announced that he had come bring
ing trouble. Later, in letter to his
wife, Meade confessed that he thought
the officer had come to relieve him of
his command or to arrest him; but his
conscience was clear.
And trouble it was that the officer
brought, though of a vastly different
kind. He delivered an order from the
War department directing General
Meade to take command of the Army
of the Potomac, concentrate its scat
tered forces, break the hold of the
Army of Northern Virginia on the Sus-

Hints for Those
Fond of Rhubarb

Suggestions for serving the always
delicious rhubarb are always In or
der. The following methods are set
forth by recognized expert:
Fresh rhubarb pie plant and spring
were once synonymous. Now, like
most other vegetables and fruits, its
city season Is long extended both by
shipments from warmer places and
by dollhouse forcing. Early summer.
however, does bring drop In price
and puts 1t into the class from which
it rose.
Every town backyard used to have
Its own supply of ''pie plant" some
of it pretty sour and tough, but
which when cooked with plenty of
sugar made sauce or a pie whose
tang seemed just what we needed
for that jaded appetite.
Rhubarb of today is lovelier In
color, with its deep pink contrast to
the light green of the stalks. The
skin is usually so tender that it
need not be removed, and therefore
color may be preserved during cook
ing. To keep the color, and keep the
pieces in shape, there are two best"
ways to cook rhubarb - one is to
bake it with sugar in covered cas-
serole-the other is to cook it over
hot water in a double boiler.
Some people like to serve rhubarb
hot, although / think the average
person likes the sauce cold There
may be the addition of raisins dur
ing the last few minutes of cook
ing, or the combination of the cold
sauce with sliced bananas or oranges
or with cooked prunes. Rhubarb
cut in small pieces and chilled In
its syrup makes a good foundation
for fruit cup, with any other fruits
you may like to use.
Most buildings made with rhubarb
are best hot. it seems to me, as It
is with those made of apples. In
fact, almost any good apple recipe
can be adapted to rhubarb with the
use of some extra sugar. There is
brown betty, bread and butter pud-
ding, or tapioca pudding.
Rhubarb, with its tartness, makes
a good component of marmalade-
the more elaborate conserves. Sweet
er fruits, such as pineapple or cher
ries, and sweet oranges, contrast
well with 1t. 1t can so often be found
at such low price that 1t makes
an economical foundation for other
more expensive fruits.
Rhubarb pie is associated in my
mind especially with American cook
ing, although probably in it's tart
form it may be found in other coun-
tries. I do not seem to remember
having it any place but in this coun-
try, when it was combined with pas
try. Individual shortcakes with rhu-
barb sauce are surely an American
origination. A few strawberries add
color and form to this dessert.
While we probably do not give it
the enthusiastic welcome which was
gwen IL by our ancestors, who were
deprived of fresh fruit all the win
ter, we still give 1t our apprecia-
tion. By the way, suppose rhubarb
is really vegetable, as the tomato
is really a fruit, but we nevertheless
use them to the contrary.
Rhubarb and Pineapple.
Take equal parts of rhubarb, cut
In one-inch pieces, and fresh pine
apple diced. Add two cups of sugar
to one quart of fruit. Let stand one
or more hours. Place in saucepan,
let heat slowly until sugar is dis
solved and cook without stirring I'M
til rhubarb is soft but not broken.
Cool and serve.
