son tax and the substitution of a three-dollar state personal tax will have much the same effect, he | pointed out.
 In regard to this personal tax, Dr, George B. Clark, State Col lece economist and member of the special tax commission, in address ing the same group, showed that the local unit will be liable for the collection of this state personal tax on the basis of the 1880 cen sus population and that discrepan- cies financially unfavorable to the town may exist between the amount collected and the sum which will have to be turned over to the state towards the old age pension.
 New Bases Set
 In the taxation of banks and insurance companies, miscellan- eous corporations, and unincor- porated business, the Assembly fol- lowed substantially the recommen- dations of the special commission, with the result that new bases of taxation have been set and reven- ue from these sources increased, Commissioner Hackett said. These changes were made because under previous systems of taxing revenue fell extremely low during periods of depression.
 In the case of railroads, however, the legislature acted contrary to the recommendations of the spec ial commission and. by changing the basis of taxation from gross earnings basis to gross-net basis, reduced the revenue from railroad taxation by about $30O,000 a year, i Commissioner Hackett said. The rejection of the majority of special commission proposals re- suited in a net gain of $2,500,000 instead of $13,500,000, the State | Commissioner stated.

'Bozo,' Nemesis
Of Mice, Needs
New Home

Mrs. Marie Nelson, of 819
Sixth st. S. w., is leaving
Washington this afternoon and
doesn't intend coming back.
Bozo, Mrs. Nelson's jet-black pet
cat, seems to ask pathetically:
"And just what do you intend
to do with me?"
To Bozo's question Mrs. Mel
son suggested that he get his
picture in The Times. together
with a list of his many qualifi-
cations, in the hope that some
person might offer him a home.
So here is Bozo's picture, and
here are a few pertinent facts:
He is 10 months old, a male
and thoroughly house broken.
He loves children and detests
mice. That is, he can't bear
the sight of mice running
around. AS far as the menu is
concerned, however, they're his
favorite dish.
So if you'd like to call Bozo
your own, pay Mrs. Nelson a
call. Satisfy her that her pet
will be left in good hands, and
take him back and introduce
him to the folks.

CAPT. OIL SHIFT 7.
OPPOSED BY
HOUSE BLOC

Love of tradition, reverence for
historical landmarks and the first
strings of an American culture
are rearing their sentimental
heads in the House of Represen-
tationS to block any change in the
Capitol of the United States.
Despite the preponderance of
evidence presented before the
House Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee in favor
of a bill similar to the one re-
Gently reported favorably by Sen
ate, providing for the change,
representatives are showing a
distaSte for any modification OF
the structure as it stands. The
movement found complete express
sion in a statement from Repre-
sentative John M. Houston (D.)
OF Kansas. He said:
"After the hearings l talked
to several members of the House
and there is a distinct senti-
ment against destroying any Of
The historical architectural fea-
lures of the Capitol such as the
steps upon which many of our
Presidents have been inaugu-
rated"
During the hearings attention
was called to the fact that plans
are underway to tear down the
old Post Office building and that
similar suggestions have been made
with respect to the State, War and
Navy Building.
Among those who cling to the
theory that these types of archi-
lecture should remain standing as
a memorial to historical phases Of
the country in which they were
erected is Representative George
Burnham, of California, who de-
clared:
II would hate to see the old
State, War and Navy Building
destroyed or changed. Fashions
in buildings change just like
fashions in wOmen's clothes and
I think we should keep some
pieces of our architecture intact.
In California we have had to
60 back and reconstruct the old
missions, and we do not want
to do that here"
IN face of this sentiment such
architects as Francis P. Sullivan
of the American Institute of Ar
chitects; David Lynn, architect of
the Capitol, and Charles Moore
are of the opinion that the change
would destroy but little of the his.
torical value of the building.

RET URN BLANKS. FOR INCOME TAX SENT TO AtASKA|
Deputy Collector Sullivan to Hold Conference in
 Southeast Cities

TACOMA, Wash, Jan. B. The Post Office Department has just started delivery of several thou sand federal income tax return blanks to the taxpayers of the Ter ritory of Alaska to enable them to begin the preparation of their an- nual returns covering their income for the year 1884, which must be filed in the district office at Ta- coma on or before March 15, it is announced by Alex McK. Vierhus, Collector of Internal Revenue of the District of Washington.
 To Help Alaskans
 Collector Vierhus announces that during February Deputy Collector o. s. Sullivan, regularly stationed at Juneau, will be detailed to as sist taxpayers in the preparation of their income tax returns. Dep uty Sullivan will visit and hold conferences between the dates of February and l6 with residents of Ketchikan, Juneau, WrangeH and Petersburg. Dates of these visits will be announced through the various post offices and in the local newspapers. He can be reach ed through his Juneau office for further assistance.
 New Forms Required
 The most important addition to the annual report of the taxpayer is the requirement. enacted by the last Congress in the Revenue Act of 1884 which makes it necessary to file Form 1094, a public in formation report, which gives a condensed statement of the gross income, total deductions, net in- come, total credits against net in come for purposes of normal tax, and the amount of tax paid by each taxpayer. The blanks for this purpose are required to be filed with the annual return, and the law fixes a penalty of $500 to be collected from all taxpayers who fail to attach this special report with the regular return. The Col lector is required to prepare this statement from the facts given on the regular return when the tax payer fails to furnish this report and must assess the taxpayer $500 for his failure to file his own statement. The collector will, at a later date, be required to assem- ble his public information reports and make them available for the

1 WOUNDED AS LONGS FORCES
 R0UT CITIZENS
Pitched Battle Averted IT | What Huey Describes as Killing Conspiracy

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 28.-- Copyright by Associated Press 1935) Senator Huey P. Longs dic- tatorship rode out an armed upris- ing last Saturday night as more than 200 Square Dealers surren- dered or fled into the woods be- fore machine guns and rifles of National Guardsmen.
 One man was wounded.
 The threatened pitched battle between the militia and the Anti Long forces came as a climax to an exciting day which saw mar tial law declared in this parish city by Gov. O. K. Allen, and Senator Long, charging in court that antagonistic officials plotted his death.
 Murder Court"
 It was only short time after the Senator abruptly ended his in- quiry in the murder court" into the alleged conspiracy against his life, when Square Dealers started to assemble at the airport.
 At first they were unarmed but guns soon appeared as the Anti Long men began to form battle line.
 A company of guardsmen reach ed the airport, unslung their wea- pons, and prepared for action.
 The opposing forces were about 500 yards apart.
 The guardsmen deployed in a line quarter of mile in length and began to advance slowly.
 The armed citizens. carrying pis- tols, rifles and shotguns, backed against the woods nearby.
 It looked like a battle was about to start.
 Citizens Surrender
 Finally the citizens, finding themselves outnumbered and sur passed in equipment, surrendered for the most part. They were dis armed and placed under technical arrest, then freed.
 The wounded citizen is identi- fled as George H. Allessi, aged 36, member of the Tangipahoa Parish Police. He was hit by charge of buckshot in the milling around the airport.
 Earlier in the day, on Saturday. man who identified himself as Sidney Songy. testified at Longs murder plot" inquiry, that he had been given a gun, gas bombs and
