Merit System Versus the Spoils Sys-
tenn was concluded last night by

Hitting at spoils rule in govern
ment. she said:
THE best remedy for the spoils
system is civil service reform and
that reform can be accomplished
only through Federal legislation. It
is therefore the taxpayers RESPONSE
bility to see that men imbued with
the ideals and principles OF a much
needed civil service reform be elect
ed to office.

Privilege Tax
Continued in
Revised Bill
New Draft Submitted
By Nichols Drops
Levy on Sales

Continuation of the unpopular
business privilege tax is provided in
a revised revenue bill for the Dis.
trict introduced late yesterday by
Representative Nichols, Democrat
OF Oklahoma, chairman of the Fis.
cal Affairs Subcommittee of thu
House District Committee.
The proposed 2 per cent sales tax
which met such vigorous opposition
In the full District Committee about
a month ago and resulted in recon-.
initial Of the original revenue bill ia
the subcommittee, has been elimi.
mated from the revised edition.
The present business privilege tan
Is scheduled to expire at the close
OF the present fiscal year June 80
In providing for its continuation
however, Mr.. Nichols proposed that
1t be made more stringent.
Retains Income Tax.
Substitution of the business priv.
lege tax for the sales tax was the
only major change made in the
original revenue bill. The revised
measure continues to provide for ar
income tax on earned incomes in
excess Of $4,000 year and earned
incomes above $500, as well as the
tax on parking lot owners, a uni.
form tax on public utility corpora.
tlons and revisions in the inherit.
ance, estate and gift taxes.
One Of the major changes pro.
posed in the present business priv
llege tax would require professional
men and others who sell services
rather than goods to pay tax OF
eight-tenths of l per cent, or double
the rate paid by businessmen.
The revised bill retains the pres
ent four-tenths of l per cent tax on
business in which capital investment
is the primary element, but changes
the graduated tax on dealers in
goods, wares and merchandise.
The new bill provides that where
the spread between cost and sales
price does not exceed 4 per cent
the tax shall be one-tenth of per
cent of gross receipts in excess of the
$4,000 primary exemption.
Steps Up With Spread.
If the spread is from to 8 per
cent, the tax would be two tenths OF
l per cent. If the spread is between
8 and IL per cent. the tax would be
three-tenths of l per cent. If the
spread is in excess of II per cent
the tax would be four-tenths OF I
per cent.
Credit would be allowed in the bill
under the income and corporate tax
features for payment of the busi-
ness privilege tax.
Another addition to the business
privilege tax is designed to catch
certain classes of persons who may
not come within the classification Of
strict business or professional men.
They would be required to pay the
professional tax of eight-tenths OF
per cent on gross receipts.
No estimate has yet been made
OF the amount of revenue the revised
bill would produce. which would
show whether it would provide suffi-
cient funds to meet the anticipated
budget deficit in the coming fiscal
year. The amount of the budget
shortage, however, will not be defin-
itely known until the 1910 District
appropriation bill is passed by Con-
greSS Additions the Senate is ex-
pected to make in the House-ap-
proved measure may alter the orig
inal estimated deficit materially.
Mr.. Nichols plans to have a meet
ing of his subcommittee before the
close of the week to consider the
revised bill.

0V8 Out of an inkwell he manufactures
fantasy - turns out an exact amount of that
elusive thing of dreams each week. And he is
as fantastic as anything he creates.
Fleischer was one of the first men to make
drawings move to give life to pen-and-ink
characters For twenty-five years he has been
amusing the public with animated cartoons
Today he is head Of Sl,25O.OOO motion
picture studio, colossus of cartoons. Yet
when he steps outside of the studio that
fantasy built he is just gray-haired little
man of five feet, five. whom nobody knows.
1t was Fleischer who produced the Out of
the Inkwel comedies and ko-ko the Clown.
1t was Fleischer who did Betty Boop and
Popeye who produced those animated lures
to mass-audience singing - the melodies with
the bouncing ball. And it is Fleischer who has
made the newest feature-length picture of ink.
color and celluloid, Guiver's Travels BY all
contemporary standards he is entitled to
whole corps of yes men to follow him around
his studio - but he goes alone. Nobody opens
lOl HILL AllS JuoI say IiSlio
and Max mods politely.
Fleischer's pictures have made many box
office millions. But he always does his per-
sonal shopping on the installment plan - says
he can't save money, even though he never
bets on the horses. He spends it all working
out eccentric ideas such as mechanical ash
tray or trick inkwell. And any scheme to
improve cartoon comedies interests him
vitally.
Fleischer has twenty-eight patents for
cartoon devices. He heads one of the two
biggest animated-cartoon "plants' in the
world. The other belongs to Walt Disney.

That was twenty-five years ago. Two or
three years before that Winsor McCay had
made the first animated cartoon ever created
presenting "Gertie. the Dnosaur." McCay
used it as part of vaudeville act - and
aroused lot of skeptical laughter when he
predicted that animated cartoons would
someday take their place with human films
in the movie houses of the country 1t was
Gertie who inspired Max Fleischer to follow
his ink and -Celluloid career.
Born in Austria, Max had been brought to
this country at the age of four He had studied
art at the Art Students League and mechanics
at the Mechanics and Tradesmen High School
in New York. while working as copy boy at
two dollars week on THE Brooklyn Eagle"
He had advanced quickly to the art depart

post of cartoonist. In the same department

worked together nights trying to perfect
them Finally. after year. l5O-foot cartoon
comedy was turned out. Flescher took it
around to movie distributor. who looked it
over with interest.
'I'll buy one week, he announced. Sadly,
Max told him how long it had taken to make
the l5O-footer The distributor lost interest
But Fleischer went back to work and devised
way to produce hundred feet every fourth
week.
Two of his brothers. Dave. then photo
engraver and Joe. mechanic. were his help
ers and their workroom was the parlor of the
six-room apartment in Brooklyn where Max
and his wife lived. One night the boys spilled

showed recruits what happened when they

effective when run off in slow motion.
After the ArmistiCe the brothers went to
work in earnest. Fleischer produced two

years before Walt Disney's Snow White
One called Relatively, explained the Einsten

on Darwins theory OF evolution. was made
at the time of the William Jennings Bryan
Clarence Darrow battle in the famous Scopes
trial in Tennessee
! LEIsCHER'S S greatest success however. has
been by way of short comedies Successful
cartoon characters frequently are accidents.
A minor figure steals the picture, much as a
bit player often walks off with screen drama
That is how Donald Duck emerged from a
Mickey Mouse background. Betty Boop was
just such an accident. She appeared as an
incidental figure in the background of
cartoon cabaret scene, and stole the show.
That was in the boop-a-doop era. and the
public demanded more of Betty She became
a star. and lasted as long as the boop-a -doop
era.

to uphold the law"
The FlelsCher plant now turns out thirty
eight one and two-reel animated comedies a
year. Besides Popeye. there is the Hunky and
Spunky series about two mules. And for tn,
last year and half they have been working
on Gulliver on the side.
FlesCher likes to explain why he made
Guliver's Travels. Every adult is still child
at heart he says. They are sorry they have
been told there is no Santa Claus and they
would like to say. You re wrong there is
Santa Claus - and there are elves and witches
and fairies People want to believe in fantasy
because it is an escape from the hard realism
of the world"
When Fleischer started work on Gulliver's
Travels some 1000 sketches were prepared
Before the studio got through over million
drawings had been made. OF which some
100000 show in the final print
When Fleischer moved his studio to Florida
from New York last October two hundred
specialists in the making Of cartoon comedies
went with him. Some had been twenty years
in his employ at least twenty-five had been
with him twelve years. and forty for better
than seven years. There are eighty animators

He's stubborn that way - but he will do it
