Intangible
Tax Law is
Eyed ASkanCe

LANSING, Jan. 81 - R -
Senator George p. McCallum,
Republican, Ann Arbor, chair
man of the Senate taxation COM
mittee, said today he would
make one last attempt to
straighten out the state intangi-
BILE tax law"
Foe of the present law in two
legislative sessions, McCallum
declared II will try once more
to get good law and If fail
I'm through"
The veteran Ann Arbor leg
islator asserted the act, taxing
intangible personal property,
could be improved to increase
revenues and simplified at the
same time.
The department of revenue,
which collects the tax, said it
would favor some amendments
to make the law more worka-
BILE" and to clear up trouble
some phases for the taxpayer.
However, officials refused to
take any position on major re-
visions of the law discussed in
previous sessions.

Slight Drop Noted
in Prep Gage Play

CHICAGO. Jan. 28-(P)-
Only five per cent of the ma
tons high schools ahve dropped
basketball, Henry V. Porter,
secretary of the National High
School Federation, reported to-
day. He said the figure was
based on surveys In many
states.
Illustrative, he said is the
case of the Illinois prep cage
tourney, which begins late in
February with $50 teams COM
peting against 887 of a year
ago. Most other states are find
ing the same widespread inter-
est in the continuation of the
cage sport, he reported, al
though there have been some
mileage-saving notifications in
the tournament program.

Recently battalion of 400
students saved the cane at the
Oahu sugar plantation by clean
ing and wedding hundreds Of
acres at a critical time in cane
development.
FIELDS NEED
CONSTANT WEDDING
Cane fields must be tended
constantly during the % months
Of growth, and if the students
hadn't filled the breach where
we couldn't spare heavier labor,
many hundreds of acres would
have been lost" the plantation
manager, Hans L'Orange said.
AS proof, he pointed to one
large field that was not worked
Immediately after the December
7 attack Of last year.
We'll never be able to re-
claim that land" he said. 1T
was ruined because we couldn' t
spare men to weed it right after
the attack"
The children ride to work in
cane cars, are served lunch in
the fields and return by three
in the afternoon. They wear ov-
erals and laborers blouses and
the younger ones help to camou-
flage various military installa-
tons by planting sweet potatoes
near them.

WATERBURY DAY
 DATE CHANGED
Hearing on Several Im- pOrtant Bills to Take
 Place March l7

One of the most important bills to be heard March l7, by the legis- lative cities and horoughs commit tee is the Waterbury bill concern ing the assessors and the director of purchases. This bill also raises the salaries O. several officials. Hearing for most of the Waterbury bills has been set back from March 31 to the 17th at the request of Sen. John Tobin. M
 It was revealed that the bill on the assessors and purchase direc- tor has been misunderstood. It sub- statutes one assessor and two depu- ties for the present five assessors with appointment for life, unless removed for particular cause. At present the assessors can be changed by the mayor at the end of. their flVe.year terms, without approval of any other body.
 The new bill states that neither of the two deputies shall be mem- bers of the same political party as the assessor.
 Another important provision states that the assessor, after roini- nation by the mayor, must be ap- proved by two-thirds of the board of aldermen. Under the present charter, 1t is impossible for either p litical party to have two-thirds of the membership. Of the IS nern- bers, the charter provides that not more than eight can be members of the same party. Under the new bill, the mayors nomination needs the votes of two aldermen belong ing to the minority party.
 The two deputies are appoi -lted by the assessor, not by the mayor, and do not require the approval of the aldermen, but they cannot be members of the same party as the assessor.
 The bill establishes the salaries of the assessor at $5,500 and the deputies at $4,000. At present the five assessors received $S,l00 each. The bill also proposes a salary of $2500 for the clerk of the small claims court, creation of which is provided in another bill filed by Sen. Summa. It also sets the salary of the probation oftlcer at $S,500 It is now $2,500.

WASHINGTON BOOGIE-WOOGIE
 vIsltlna Ren0rters Give guy n hand. How do you 60 about getting line on the town7 What's the Eoutine2
 Resident Ditto: First get Q place to sleep, which lis no clnch. Then learn to talk F'ederalese.
 Why don't the locals talk like the rest of the Americans?
 T don't know everything. I've only lived here Q lifetime.
 What else is wrong with the town?
 Too much stuffed shirtism. Not only the office holders, but the lobbyists, the political favor-hunters, the stooges and, I hate to say so, some of the reporters.
 How arc the reporters otherwise?
 They size up OK. They work hard and they have to know their job. By the time they get to Washington they've had plenty of experience. They've rubbed up against phonies ard they're hard to fool. A handful of them, of course, are just errand boys for their publishers, instructed to slant the news to suit the boss. They are snickered at the same as yes-rnen in any trade.
 read once that reporters in- dependence lasts just six months in the Capital. That the biggies soften him up with flattery and parties and from then on he's in somebody's hip pocket.
 You know better than to believe that. You only have to glance around and see how wrong that charge is. Right here in Washing ton we have some of the sasstest telling-offest Scriveners in the busi- ness. Ray Clapper's one. Sos billiard Stokes. Kenneth Crawford is another, and Drew Pearson. l could go on and on.
