LONERCAN PLANS
 AMENDMENT SOON
Democratic Senator Pre-. diets Committee Will Act
 FavOrably on Measure

Washington, D. C., Sept. 7--Upon the recommendation of government tax experts who participated in ex- tensive hearings during the past session on his bill to provide for a tax on income from securities now exempt, Senator Lohergan (d), Conn.,. said today that he Is con- sidering an amendment to the measure which will make 1t pos- sible to collect the tax without re- gard to the rule of apportionment Predicting that the Senate Judi ciary committee would take favor able action on his measure when congress next convenes Senator Lonergan said that experts have been cooperating with him to per- feet 1t against any legal defects. Previous decision by the United States supreme court, he said, have held that income from tax exempt securities is not governed by the Sixteenth Amendment which pro- vides for a tax on incomes. By these decisions, he said, it Is indi- cated that the rule of apportion- ment In collecting federal taxes would have to be applied, unless his pending bill is amended to provide for collection of the tax without re- gard to apportionment. A similar provision is contained in the Six teenth Amendment, he explained, with regard to incomes within its scope.
 Senator Lonergan announced that more than a thousand copies of the hearings concluded by a sub-com- mittee of the Senate Judiciary com. mittee on his measure S. J. Res. s, have been demanded by newspapers and by tax officials of state and Io- cal governments throughout the nation as well as many colleges who are studying the whole problem of tax exemption. .e
 "The sentiment of the country" Senator Lonergan said. lis clearly in favor of Constitutional amend. fnent permitting taxation by the United States of the interest on fu- ture issues of state and municipal securities and by the states on fu- tsire issues of federal securities. Any one who will take the time to read testimony before the Senate Judi- ciary committee on s [. Res. s, will be convinced. I am sure, that the advantages of such a tax far out- weigh the disadvantages"

STRAND


 A spectacular drama that storms in, epic sweep over half the world, Slave Ship" now at the Warner Strand theater, stands head and shoulders above the general level of film fare to take It's rightful rank as the mightiest of all the sea sagas.
 The new film, which co-stars War ner Baxter and Wallace Beery, pic- lures the adventures of the last slayer as, with mutiny reddening the decks, 1t sails on its last desperate voyage.
 A honeymoon ship of horror, the slave ship also carries aboard its fury-racked hulk Elizabeth Allan, who boards the vessel for honey moon and finds, too late, that she is off on a trip that brings her constantly face to face with danger and death. Mickey Rooney is also aboard as a spunky cabin boy who boasts stoutly that he is 8 man in a mans world-and gets a chance to prove 1t.

days Of long ago. The last Of the
great fighting mOnarchs was John III.

Unlike most rulers, he did not inherit

son of a Polish nobleman. Almost his
entire life was spent fighting the enc

Fillmore Home Is Raced;
Lumber Is Sold for Barn

Geneva, N. Y. - The boyhood
home of Willard Fillmore, thirteenth
president of the United States, has
been torn down because no organi-
cation showed enough interest in its
preservation to pay the owners $500.
Fillmore, elected vice president
in 1848 on the Wing ticket, sue
ceeded to the presidency in 1850
upon the death of Zachary Taylor
and served until 1853. He was de-
feated for reelection by James Bu-
chanan.
He had lived in the Cayuga county
house until he was nineteen years
old and returned to it many times.
In recent years it had been un-
occupied and the owners had at
tempted to sell it to some patriotic
organization. Unable to obtain an
offer of more than $3.50, they dis
mantled it and sold the timber for
construction of a barn.

Bruno School Will
Start September Z

Glasses will be organized at the
Bruno school Tuesday, September Z.
This will be an all day session and
pupils who normally bring their noon
lunch should do so on that day. There
have been three changes in the faculty
this year. The new list is as follows:
H. M. Shawl, superintendent; F. c.
Thompson, high school principal; the
Misses Hazel M. Hoglund and Hilma
E. Seymour, high school teachers;
L. D. Richards, vocational agriculture;
Miss Marie Casadont, fifth and sixth
grades; Miss Dorothy Berglund, third
and fourth grades; and Miss Mary
Murphy, first and second grades.
AS in the past, children must be
six years of age on or before next
January /, if they are to be allowed
to enter the first grade this year.
Pupils entering high school (ninth
grade) from other schools must pre-
sent proper credentials. AS a general
rule, pupils from the rural schools
must have passed four out of the five
state board examinations. Local pass
marks in the grade school from which
they graduated are also required. In
the case of accredited schools such
as those at Kerrick, Duquette and
Nickerson, local pass marks are suf-
ficient for entrance to high school.
Because of the new regulations of
the State Department of Education
in rooor6 fO froncnortotion Of NON,
resident pupils, those children from
outside the Bruno district who have
in the past presented themselves on
the bus routes and been allowed to
ride free of charge, can no longer be
accepted on that basis. It is now
necessary that either the parents or
the home school districts pay their
full per pupil share of the total cost
of the route. For the high school
pupils, most of the rural school boards
have promised to pay all or nearly all
of the transportation costs. Non-resi-
dent pupils below the ninth grade
will be accepted only in rare in
stances. Arrangements should be
made with the Bruno school author
tiles before any nonresident grade
pupils are sent.
There have been several cases of
Whooping cough in this community
recently. Children who have what
seems to be just cold, may be COM
ing down with this disease. In order
to check the spread of the disease,
such children should be kept at home
until it is definitely determined
whether or not they have whooping
cough. 1t is to be hoped that all
parents will cooperate in this matter.
Those children who have had the dis
ease during the latter part of the
summer, should present a statement
from physician that they may attend
school.

Erects Own Dormitory

Burlington, VT. - H. F. Martel, a
University of Vermont junior, has
his own "dormitory."
He built trailer from old auto
mobile parts and is living in it dur.
ing the college year. The stream
lined miniature house is equipped
with cupboards, bed, chairs, clos
cts, electric lights and radio.
He doesn't expect to suffer from
the cold because he has insulated
it with three thicknesses of card
board and a rug. An oil heater on
which he cooks his meals gives off
sufficient heat to warm the room.
