Grandpa Had Tax Troubles
Too, Ancient Records Show

Grandpa had his tax troubles
too-in fact, they were worse than
those of the modern taxpayers,
ancient records uncovered in the
old custom house at St. Paul re-
veal.
Found by James R. Landy, Min
nesota internal revenue collector
in musty storeroom where they
had lain for II years, the records,
written in long hand by old time
collectors, showed 252 items sub
ject to federal taxes.
Even a fore-runner to the AAA
processing tax was levied, exoner-
ating Secretary Wallace of any
blame attached to it's conception.
Cattle over 18 months of age were
assessed at 40 cents each; those
under 18 months at five cents. 1t
cost 10 cents head to slaughter
hogs and three to five cents each
for sheep and lambs.
Among the taxes grandpa she'll
ed out his money for were one on
incomes over $500 a year, levy
on candles, an occupation tax, and
assessment on carriages and taxes
on nearly every item of food.
In Mr.. Landy's opinion, the in
genuity of the man who thought
up new forms of taxation in those
Civil war days far outreached that

the weekend when merry-go

too heavy for the steel bridge on

the bridge, which was of the steel
girder type on concrete abutments,
but the big semi-trailer carrying
the merry-go round hit the bridge,
it went down and only one wheel
of the semi-trailer remained on
the road. Three men were riding
in the motor cab, two of whom
were only slightly injured but The
third taken to the hospital for
treatment. A wrecker from Thief

 The Attorney General cited a long list of legal citations to the bulwark points, saying that if the defense urges and feels it necessary to have someone sitting at the bottom of that ladder to prove the case, they are in error.

 Hauptmann was then called to the, stand by, Chief. Counsel Reilly.
 Attorney Lloyd Fisher, for the defense, declared previously the defense will produce a man in last actual contact with the kidnaper. "we will show that man has been lin the courtroom all through the case. He has not been called.' Hauptmann walked quietly to the front of the jury box, and took the oath, Deputy Hoyey Lowe walking beside him.
 Testimony Suspended Hauptmann was asked only a few questions when. his testimony was suspended temporarily to per init Of. the examination of two wit nesses from New York.
 Hauptrnatin, during the time he was questioned, said he was born in 1899, went to school eight years, was in the German army for one year. and three, quarters, was wounded slightly and gassed. He said he. went to a, trade school and took up the carpenters trade
 Voice Is Steady
 Hauptmann's answers were in a thin but steady voice. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the arms of the chair and watched his questioner unwaveringly. When his testimony was temporarily suspend ed, Christian Ffderickson, employer of Anna Hauptrnann at the time of the kidnapping, was put on the stand.

YANKEE HORSES FASTER

Donoghue finds quite difference between American and English thoroughbreds and racing.
 T think it stands to reason, that English horses should have more vitality and breeding and should enjoy longer racing careers than American horses" he said, be cause I am convinced that you gallop them too soon here.
 Wearing races and two-year- -old raves of even few furlongs, I be- heve, put too much strain on young horses before their bones are fully developed. American horses, as a rule, are faster be- cause the tracks are uniform, level

 T believe that unevenness of to- pography of some of the leading English tracks must work to the disadvantage of American horses, which are trained to run on the flat, and not up and down hill.
