King Fought Rider.
Chairman King, who piloted the
dimcult and intricate tax measure
through his committee, is understood
to have waged a lone fight against
attaching the Tydings national price
fixing bill as a rider.
This afternoon he termed it an
unjust and unfair" procedure to
couple this with the urgently needed
local revenue bill
AS pointed out by District officials
ut the hearings, the McCarran land
tax Is equivalent to 80 per cent in
crease In the present total tax levy of
$l7, 1928 200, since 1t would add 81. .80O,-
900 to that levy. It would have been
more burdensome, however, II the 20
cent increase on land and improve
ments combined had not been elimi-
mated.
Future Of Bill.
The immediate future Of the bill
now depends on what happens in the
Senate regarding the unrelated Tyd-
ings national legislation. If that can
be voted up or down promptly by the
Senate, the local tax program will
then be written finally in conference.
In the conference room it is possible
to modify or eliminate Senate amend
ments, or to modify original House
proposals.
The income tax, however, would be
definitely out If the bill passes the

The Ill fortune of Yves Fer

Indians won the game in the fifth
inning. With two out Myer

The boot filled the bases, but the
worst was yet to come. Trosky
hit a ball that should have been
a single, and Armada, charging
hard. overplayed his luck and the
ball at the same time. The re-

to the fence for home run and
the game went aglimmering.

Joiner revealed the skeletons to
prove that Mrs. Wood was a May

a man.
