Lower Court Ruling Upheld in
New York.

ALBANY, NY, December Cp).-
The Court Of Appeals yesterday in a
split decision upheld the lower courts
in deciding that New York State has
the right to levy a personal income tax
on the profits derived from the sale
of stock exchange seats.
The action was brought by Dexter
Blagden of Red Bank. N. j. and Harry
p. Sackett of East Orange, N. j., who
claimed they were entitled: to a re-
fund of $13,278.78 by the State for
taxes levied against the profits from
the sale of seats.
The appellants insisted they could not
be taxed because they were not resi-
dents of the State and because the
profits did not come from private
business.

TIRE INITIATION

Tests recently made indicate that by

standard gauge recommended by the; man

mileage may be obtained. - )
Soft tires not only wear out quicker,
but they damage the highway by their sue
ton. which picks up the road surface. =
i Slamming ON the brakes unnecessarily
Is also cause of tire waste, as the treads
are thereby ground into the road. Al sur
sveys for-f0ad-builde in the state of New

travelled roads the surface would essay
about percent rubber after few years
of use.
Frequent testing of tire pressure takes
little time, and proper initiation saves both
tires and roadways.

rather unusual, yet apparently most
effective method of training debaters is re-
ported from an Ohio college, which has
made an enviable record in contests with
other colleges and universities.
After the young orators have marshal
led their facts and prepared their speeches,
q dozen or SO of them are placed in room
and caused to cut loose all at once, each
seeking to concentrate on his own spiel
and drown out the rest Hecklers are in
troduced to further annoy the speakers; all
sorts of disturbing noises are brought into
play; in short, everything that can be
thought of except physical violence is re-
sorted to in an effort to distract the en-
bryo Websters.
Those who are able to proceed with
their speeches in spite of these disturb
ances are given preference in selecting the
debating team. Then, it is said, they are
able to appear in the forum of debate with
out any danger of stage fright or lack of
poise.
This plan sounds logical, and the col
lege authorities say it really works

TOO MANY sANTAs

The Christmas season brings to light
another grave problem which challenges
the attention of any social crusaders who
may happen to be out of job.
A clarion call to action is sounded by
q Mrs. Washburn of Illinois. who senses a
menace to childhood's blissfuls contempla-
ton of Santa Claus. She says:
Consider the plight of the child who
goes to town before Christmas. On one cor
ner after another he sees men dressed as
Santa Claus. The shock of establishment
is often bad for him. :"
In other words. too many Santa Claus
Is make the kid suspect that none of them
is the real thing.
What to do? Obviously there should
be organized society for the Suppression
Of superflous Santas.

THE INTANGIBLE TAX
Tampa Tribunel

(Iampa TrlDune)
The Leesburg Commercial isn't bit
enthusiastic about the intangible tax drive
1t reports Lake county's experience as fol
lows:
1t cost practically a dollar for
every name listed on the intangible
roll in Lake county. And when the 512
separate entries were made it was dis
covered that 20 were due to pay less
than dime apiece, 1T came under
quarter, 181 under half dollar and
321 will pay less than dollar apiece.
That leaves only 281 profitable entries
if the collection expenses were not
chiseled out of the counties or the as
SCISSORS. The county actually will re-
ceive 30-odd dollars as it's share of the
tax collections. Delving further into
these entries we discover that seven
are paying penny each, is are to pay
two pennies, three owe three pennies,
nine owe four pennies and one gets off
with nickel.
While many intangible tax payments
are very small, there have been substantial
large payments Collections in Hillsborough
county have been considerable; probably
also true of the other larger counties.
One feature of the tax which perhaps
is not desirable is that it permits many per-
sons to qualify as taxpayers" for dime
or less-and the county sustains net loss
of at least 80 cents on each one of these
items.
