LOW TAXES ON
LIQUOR URGED
BY ROOSEVELT
President Takes Determined
Stand in War on
BootIeggerS.
LEADERS ARE CHEERED
Fight Renewed in Congress
to Slash Proposed
$3.50 Levy.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-Presi-
dent RooSevelt's stand for liquor
taxes low enough to wipe out the
bootlegger today gave congressional
leaders the incentive they needed to
discard the $3.50 whisky levy pro
posed by the administration spe-
cial alcohol control committee.
A majority of members of the
house ways and means committee
and the senate financing committee
favor a tax far below that recon-
mended.
Reluctance to break with the ad-
ministration on the issue, however,
has been apparent. One group has
proposed continuance of the present
S1.10 excise tax until the bootleg
industry is eXterminated.
Now with the President indicating
his Willingness to have congress
tackle the liquor tax problem in it's
own way, the various bootleg
groups favorlng taxes of 81 or under
were free to exert themselves.
The administrations views on the
liquor tax problem were up for con-
sideration today at a joint hearing
Of ne senate and house committees

troll administration, and Edward G

to have drafted the committees
recommendations for a $3.50 levy,
tariff bargaining policy on imports
and revenue sharing with states
which refrain from gallonage taxes.
1t was reported that Mr.. Lowry
would propose a 1920 levy in view
of the congressional opposition which
has developed to the higher tax.

to Judge Earl R. Cox
BY JAMES A. CARVIN
Times STAFF Writer

Former officials of the defunct State Savings and Trust
Company were charged today with having made deceptive
statements to hide banks otterng condition six months
before it closed.

statements came with filing of auditors report with Cir
cult Judge Earl r. Cox.
The audit made by S. M. Davis, certified public account
ant with offices at col Continental Bank building pre-

might be covered" it is alleged in
the report.
According to the audit, the bank
was inSolvent in the amount of $21,-
1926 in June 1929, although Of
flcials continued to operate the bank
and accept deposits from the public.
Further evidence of deception
and lack of usual business manage
ment," according to the audit, is
shown in the acquisition of common
stock of the Libby Realty Company,
which owned the Roosevelt building
at Illinois and Washington streets.
Testified to Transfer
In an earlier court hearing, off,
Gals testified farms and other as
sets were transferred in exchange
/ for the common stock, having a
book value Of 100000
The transfer resulted in an actual
loss to the State Property Company
of $110,21423, and in addition, the
bank officials failed to show a $125,-
300 outstanding liability against the
common stock they acquired, it is
charged.
1t is explained in the audit that
the State Property Company was
organized Feb Is, 1926, with direc-
tors and officers practically the
same as the bank heads.
| The new company was to afford
a means for the State Savings and
Trust Company to meet the require
ments of the banking department of
Indiana by eliminating certain as
sets declared by the department as
losses, the audit states.
! Claim Losses Ran High
In the period from Dec. 81, 1925,
to Dec. 81, 1880, the property COM
pany's operating expense of $643,-
/ 18421 exceeded income by $137,-
872.70, although throughout the
time, the bank officials continued to
advance cash to the company in ex-
change for it's stock and notes, the
audit showed.
In the audit, amounts advanced
to the property company are given
as: 1926, 1925. 1869; 1927 $780,
1859; 1923, SOS 900; 1929, $4,000.
In each year the cash was advanced,
despite operating losses for the pre-
vious period, it is charged.
'All losses of the bank we're trans
| ferred to the property company in
exchange for notes and stock, with
/ the notes carried at full face value"
/ the audit states.
Officials Names Given
The common stock was entered OH
! the bank books at a value Of $780,
1 1866, despite the losses constantly
| incurred by the company. and later
the stock was written off" by a re-
duction Of the banks capital stock
to $375.O0O from $3.50 900, according
| to the audit.
| Officers of the bank were Scott
Brewer, president, and James A
Houck, treasurer, at the time the
| called report was submitted. Di-
rectors at that time, according to
the audit, we're Mr.. Brewer, Mr..

Concealed Condition, Is Charge
The auditors report covers opera
tionx of the State Savings and its
subsidiary. the state Property Com
pany, from Feb. IS, 1926, to April 2S'
1880.
Specifically, the bank officials are
charged with advancing cash assets
TO the property company In return
for stock and notes which later
proved worthless, and concealng the
resultant pressed condition of the
bank by what is termed deceptive
statements" to the state banking de-
partment.
Following a detailed account OF
cash advances to the property COM
pany. the auditors charges OF mis-
statements is prefaced with:
In addition to these disclosures,
further acts of the management in
dictate it was their purpose to con-
tinue business actively by deceptive
statements"
"Overstatement" Alleged
According to the audit. the Off
Gals in a called report demanded
by the state banking department
June %, 1929, "overstated" value of
bonds and securities in the assets
by $12,742.9O; included under cash
due from other banks an erroneous
$40 900. and "understated" loans BY
S434 869.69
The $4,000 item was one of those
selected by Prosecutor Herbert E.
Wilson for grand jury investigation.
It was said by former officials that
the sum represented certificate OF
deposit with the Fletcher American
National bank.
THE certificate OF deposit was
not the property Of the State Saw
ings and Trust Company and never
was released to them, nor could it
have been released until the prop
ertv company met its obligation to
the Fletcher American National bank
and then its release would have
been to the property company" the
auditors report declares.

individuals die, but the life
stream flows on, and beyond
death there are wild comets to
ride, new lives to live, mighty adj

This is the message implicit in
Pageant" by G.. B. Lancaster, a
novel which spreads out over nearly
a century and clothes the life stories
of many people in glamour and
strange beauty.
The scene is an unfamiliar one,
for an American audience; Tas-
mania, that island province Of Aus
tralia, where England once shipped
thousands of convictS as we'll as
stable number of gentleman adj
venturers, and where the pioneering
epic of our own land was rewritten
with equal qualities of endurance,
heroiSm and bloodshed.
Chiefly the book traces the
fortunes Of the family Of Captain
COmyn, who came out to Tasmania
to become a gentleman farmer
after the Napoleonic wars.
1t follows the family down through
the pioneer days almost to the pres
ent, and it is written with rich
prodigality; half a dozen meaty
'romanceS are intertwined, any of
them a novel by itself.
1t tells of Madam Comyn, who
had great expectations and saw
them foiIed; of Jenny, who had
great love, lost it, and yet somehow
kept it; of Snow, the convict, who
wanted "a high death" and got it;
of Julia, the f1irt; of Oliver, the
gentleman sponger, and of reckless,
bewidered Nab; and it becomes, as
its author intended, an imposing
and colorful pageant
