Farm Bureau Fights Against
Sales Tax On Machinery

Ohio is doing grave injustice to
her farmers by not exempting them
from the sales tax on farm ma
chinery, a commodity which they
use exclusively in the process of
crop production. Agriculture has
equally as much right to claim ex-
emption as the manufacturer who
buys machinery for production pur.
poses tax free. This is the view of

STATE CAPITAL NEWS LETTER

A five-year and possibly a ten
year program of highway construc-
tion in Ohio is being planned py
John Jaster, jr., new state highway
director, according to an announce
ment made by the highway depart
ment. 1t is hoped that the new pro-
gram will make Ohio's highways
model for other states. The out
standing immediate problem whlch
confronts the department, accord
ing to Director Jaster, is the reio-
cation of highways in many OF the
sections of the Muskingum con-
servancy district where thousands
of acres of land are to be mum
dated in conjunction with the S34,-
100000 Muskingum consefVancy

Washington newspapers are filled
with propaganda for restoration of

and officials as of January first
Proponents of pay restoration urge
that the economy provisions advo-
Gated by President Roosevelt and
embodied in the economy act of
1888 be repealed and made effec-
tive as of last January first. The
president opposes this and has an
nounced he will restore full pay
next July. Lobbyists for federal
employees bewail the fact that only
fifteen days vacation are allowed
and ask restoration Of thirty days
vacation with full pay. There are
more than million worthy people
in Ohio on relief. Many of our in

KING PROPOSES

REVISION

Almost complete revision Of the
District social security bill was en-
visioned today Is Senator William
H. King CD of Utah. chairman of
the Senate District Committee.
sent the measure to the legislative
drafting counsel for redrafting.
The Utahan declared that in his
opinion the bill. as passed by the
House, was legally as well as fis'
cally unsound. It is his purpose
to drastically alter it before the
Senate District Committee reports
1t to the Senate.
Opposes Changes
It's author, Representative Henry
Ellenbogen, of Pennsylvania. We
hemently opposed any changes.
He said:

Nobody Is opposing 1t but
some interests. I had . talk

told me he would report 1t out
without any changes. What

Senator Copeland, however, said
that he had made no promise to
report the bill without changes
Said he:

authority to report it directly to

The Senate'S plan Is to report
out a revised bill as soon as pos
sible in order that the District
may have the benefit of a loca

bill provides for taxing all States
and territories but Withholding

1--WE have a fair chance"
Knight breaks down and con-
feSses, while his three compan-
ions nod in solemn assent, and a
fifth w. C. C. hope, Jack Schultz,
listens respectfully.
They couldn't be at all positive,
you see, because they have only
held the quad title for the past
three years. Not quite long enough
for a man to step out and say:
eve mOre'n likely will win it.
On the strength of that state
ment you would expect them TO
return Monday bending double un-
der the weight of trophies, but it
seems improbable that they will
do more than win the Washington
Canoe Clubs usual quota of two
or three single blade ornaments

some kind of a monopoly on

Besides defending the senior
four-men single blade for the

noe Club put in jeopardy Everett

crown, and Harry Knight and Eve
rett Rodman will strive to retain
the tandem double blade for the
third straight year.

Lacks AlI-ArOund Strength
The washington Canoe Club,
who appears to be the only one
having entries from D. c., hasn't
sufficient strength in the inter
mediate and junior classes to be
considered a strong bidder for
the team trophy.
In this respect, the home clubs,
which in this case will practically
be the thru mentioned above,
having more juniors or beginners
available as we'll as intermediate,
those who have won a title, have
a big edge.

surprised two years ago at Chi
cago during the Worlds Fair, by
annexing the team laurels despite
the turnout which that colorful
renewal drew.

had held for a decade or more

.D.C.PROMOTERS
ENDDATEWAR

At a meeting held in the office
of the boxing commission, at
tended by Promoter Joe Turner,
Matchmakers Goldie Ahearn and
Howard Livingston, Frank l..
Peckham and Joseph j. Malloy,
of the Legion athletics commit
tee, it was agreed that the
Turner-Ahearn interests would
continue to promote boxing on
Monday nights at Griffith Sta
dunn.
The Legion will conduct box
ing show on Thursday, August /,
on which date there will be no
conflicting wrestling match at
the Stadium. Beginning with
Wednesday, August 7, the Legion
will conduct shows weekly on
Wednesday nights.
Doesn't Control Wrestling
While the boxing commission
has no control over wrestling, it
was brought out that on three
cardinal points the commission,
in the interests of boxing, had to
be interested in wrestling:
First, experience has proved
that a certain proportion of
sports followers desire to attend
both wrestling and boxing bouts.
Second, moter Turne
pointed out that wrestling and
boxing are so closely related in
his case that he can afford to
lose on a boxing show and gain
on a wrestling show, and vice
versa.
Third, with two ring events on
one night the space available for
newspaper publicity devoted to
each sport is necessarily reduced.
Plans Big Mat Bout
With the Legion beginning it's
Wednesday night programs on
August 7, Promoter Turner sug-
gested that on that week they
operate on a Thursday, on which
date he is not staging a wrestling
match, but that on Tuesday, Aug
ust 6, he is putting on OMa-
honey and Savoldi, which would
detract from the Legion's show
on the following day.
