one son, Anton, died in 1925. He is
survived by five sons, William, of
Rock Island, Ill; Herman, Utica, Ill;
Alfred, Edward and George in the

Carl E. GuStafSOn.
Carl E. Gustafson, aged &c years,

Tuesday, June 20, at his home follow
ing a seige of rheumatism which kept
him bed-ridden for 25 years. He was
born in Sweden and had been a resi-
dent of Birch Creek township for 43
years.
He was born in Askog Mogata Sock
en- Ostergotland, Sweden, and came to

credit is due for the well kept farm
home which has been built up.
Besides Mrs. Gustafson, the de-
ceased is survived by one adopted

fer were in court last week gave

was found guilty Of robbery here
and given a 5-to-40-year peni-
Tertiary sentence. He was pa
rolled in 1880.
Five dispositions taken in CAL
ifornia, where Schaefer claims to
have been between June Is and
10, when the kidnapping took
place, have been read to the jury.
The defense intended to inter
rupt the reading of dispositions
today to place the first of its
twenty-odd witnesses on the stand,

UNDER ATTACK

BY International News Service
Approval of the emergency tenn

up under the banking act of 1888
together with strong disapproval
of the structure and theory of the
permanent deposit insurance plan
are contained in a report of the
Association of Reserve City Bank
ers, mailed today to 100000 bank
ers.
Condemning the permanency
theory as tending only to post
pone permanent banking reform,
the report declares:
at would be one Of the great
est tragedies in our financial
history if the lessons we have
learned in the present depreS-
sion should lead only to tinker

NEW PLAN KITES
INCOME TAXES
S300,000,000

BY International News Service
The income taxpayer will SUI
fer a new jolt under plans being
drafted today by the special
House Ways and Means sub-com-
mittee named to revise the
Administrative provisions Of the
tax laws.
While the subcommittee prin-
cipal task was the plugging of
loopholes uncovered by the
Senate Banking Committee. rec
concentrations proposed by the
majority will go much further.
$3OO,OOO,OOO Increase
Because Of the urgent need of
the Government for revenue. the
subcommittee has tentatively
approved some changes which
would result in taxpayers paying
more in the next few years and
benefitting later on.
This feature is involved in the
allowances given corporations
upon reorganization and in depre-
citation allowances in calculating
income taxes.
Representative Hill CD of
Washington, chairman Of the
subcommittee, said:
ct think the changes will
result in collecting $3OO,O0O,O0O
to $4OO,OOO,OOO more revenue
annually from the income tax
laws"
A policy employed in the draft
ing of the last two tax bills OF
increasing revenues in the i'm
mediate future, with the tax
payers burden to be equalized
later on, may result in the sub
committee recommending a
radical change in depreciation
allowance.
LOOphOles to Be Plugged
This tentative proposal would
follow the action of Congress in
placing an arbitrary limit upon
depletion allowances. of impor"
lance to the mining and oil in
dustries in calculating income
tax.
It is proposed to prevent O.
revaluation of assets of a cor
poration upon reorganization
which may result in a decrease
of the income tax paid in the
first few years after the change
has been made.
Further revision Of the capital
gains and loss provision, under
which j. P. Morgan escaped in
come tax. is expected. The sub
committee, however, favors reten-
ton of the general scheme Of
taxing capital gains.
