Some real radio headliners come to town tomorrow when the Three x Sisters arrive to headline the vaudeville bill at the State theater from Friday to Monday. The trio takes ranks with the three Boswells and the PickenS Sisters as the. best femme combinations on the air. Pearl Vi and Jessie, the three X'ers can sing their popular music any way you want, slow or fast, hot or sweet. You've probably heard them on Rudy Vallee's Thursday night show or one of their own programs. One of the last notes of interest we heard about the Three x Sisters was that they were seeking permis- sion from Maurice Ravel to do a three-voice vocal arrangement of his "Bolero".

 Nationally Known Industrial
 Economist
 The Wagner-Lewis bill as intro duced would place payroll tax of per cent on employers of four or more persons. This simply means that every time a company hires workman at $100 month there will be paid into a large fed eral fund thre per cent in addi- ton to the salary or wage paid. Every additional employe therefore becomes a taxable unit for the em- ployer, who is therefore virtually placed in position of being urged by his government to use more machinery and less man power.
 In it's initial stages the tax would be collected by the federal government, but the employer would be allowed a credit for con-
