COOLIDGE TAX
PLAN FAVORS
CORPORATIONS
Citizens With Small Incomes
Will Not Share Proposed
Reduction.
By United Pres*
• RAPID CITY, S. D., July 28.
President Coolidge has evolved the
administration’s tax reduction pro
gram since he has been in the Black
Hills and decided that it will be
built around reduction in corpora
tion taxes.
Every business house which has
failed to receive a reduction in the
recent tax revision bills will benefit
by the administration project.
It is Mr. Coolidge’s plan, accord
ing to indisputable authority, to rec
ommend to the next session of Con
gress a plan whereby corporations
will be granted a reduction from
1314 per cent to at least 11 per cent.
Works Through Committee
While Mr. Coolidge desires to
place himself in position so that he
may not be accused of writing the
new tax bill, he has definite ideas
upon the subject which will be in
corporated in a bill soon to be sub
mitted to Congress through House
Ways and Means Committee.
His recommendations will not in
clude any reduction for smaller in
come tax payers, but will center
itself about a program for allevia
tion of stringent levies upon all
business.
It is estimated that reduction in
the corporation tax from 1314 to 11
per cent would result in a. decrease
in the nation’s tax receipts of at
least $1,500,000 annually.
“Small Fry” Excluded
According to word received here,
Democratic leaders who control a
theoretical majority in the next
Senate, will agree to the project of
reducing corporation taxes, but will
fight for bill reducing the levy on
small incomes Mr. Coolidge believes
that assessments on incomes of less
than SIO,OOO have been cut suffi
ciently already. He thinks, accord
ing to White House authorities, that
no more slashes should be made to
eliminate small tax payers.
Mn Coolidge believes that reduc
tions also should be made in nuis
ance taxes, possibly eliminating
levies on theater admissions and
club dues. Automobile taxes should
be cut from 314 per cent .possibly to
2 per cent, according to presidential
authority.
$300,000,000 Cut Possible
If this plan was carried out, Con
gress could afford a special tax re
duction of more than $300,000,000
without endangering, in Mr. Cool
idge’s estimation, resources of the
nation.
No “Mellon plan” will be sug
gested to Congress this year and no
formal presentation of the admin
istration program may be ex
pected. However, Mr. Coolidge’s
ideas probably will be impressed
upon House Ways and Means Com
mittee when it meets to frame the
tax reduction bill.
REPORT MANY QUAIL
Rabbits Also Numerous in
State This Season.
Reports to the offices of the con
servation department indicate an
unusually large number of quail and
rabbits in Indiana this season.
Motorists driving Hoosier high
ways say that at night some traffic !
lanes literally are alive with young !
rabbits.
Virtually every section where quail
customarily are found reports many
covey*.
In late years land owners have
learned that it is not the legal
hunting which decimates the quail,
but rather the cold icy winters when
shelter and food are problems.
Many land owners provide sanctuary
by leaving brush pilts in fence cor-,
ners, and see that the birds are fed
and watered.
ORDER VALUATION GAIN
Increase on Personal Property and
Poultry in Floyd County.
Forty per cent increase in valua
tion on poultry and 10 per cent on
all personal property, except cash,
was ordered for Floyd County by the
State tax board Wednesday.
Five per cent on personal prop
erty was ordered for Lawrence
County.
Those left unchanged included
Adams, Bartholomew, Cass, De Kalb,
Elkhart, Fulton, Henry, Huntington,
Kosciusko, Lake La Grange, Miami,
Montgomery, Randolph, St. Joseph,
Vanderburg, Wabash, Wayne, Dela
ware and Warren.

New York Invented
the Ice Cream Soda
Dumped Everything in Store
Into Glass and Made
Tasty Concoction.
BY lIORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer
NEW YORK, July 28.—John Rob
ertson and Francis Tietz were born
fifty years too early. They in
vented a popular temperance drink
in a day when the world generally
did not appreciate a temperance
drink. They are the fathers of ice
cream soda.
Had their creative genius flowered
later, ice cream soda might have
made them millions. As it was, it
didn’t even bring them free drinks
—or fame.
Back in 1872, Robertson and Tietz
wer:- pals.
“One rainy day,” Robertson re
callled, “we went into Kline’s con
fectionery store in New York/' We
had at least 50 cents with us,
enough to buy out the store, and we
ordered everything the place of
fered, all at one time.
They Tried Mixing
. “We found that if y.ou dumped
the ice cream into a glass of soda,
and added a few strawberries or
some pineapple, you had something
that was infinitely superior to any
ingredient taken separately.
“After that we always ordered
fruits, ice cream, soda v/ater, or
ginger ale, then mixed our own at
the table.
“What we considered the triumph
|of our combined intelligence was
' made by putting a chunk of ice
! cream in a half cup of strong, cold
coffee, adding chopped cherries,
pineapple and dry ginger ale to
fill up the cup, with a dash of cin
namon on top.
Tastes It Yet
“I can still taste that one, though
I havejta’t tasted an ice cream soda
for years.” ,

their light under a bushel. In no

time other customers were ordering

and the manager came over to find
out what it was.
Flushed with pride , the two
youngsters handed over their form
ula.
“Kline got the best trade in New
York through his ice cream sodas.
Eventually he was rich enough to
retire,” Robertson went on. “The
aristocrats from Washington Square
and Lower Fifth Avenue would send
their footmen over for sodas' and
the most imposing horses and car
riages of the city would be hitched
outside Kline’s door.”
Outgrew Soda Habit
Robertson and Tietz grew older
and outgrew their passion for icc
cream sodas.
Tietz went into business and Rob
ertson in time became manager of
Dcrlon’s famous old restaurant.
“I think my part in the ice cream
soda was my only contribution to
the field of invention,” Tietz smiled.
“I forgot all about it in later years.
“We moved to Brooklyn after
wards, and I lost track of Robertson.
I haven’t seen him in—it must be
thirty years. I’d love to seem him
again.”
Like Robertson, Tietz doesn’t
drink ice cream sodas any longer.

FLAMING YOUTH
DEFENSE URGED
IN ATTACK CASE
Plea Made in Men’s Behalf
After Girl Testifies at
Shelbyville.
B<i Time* Special
SHELBYVILLE. Ind., July 28.
Flaming youth’s wildness in these
days of hip flasks and petting
parties forms the basis of the de
fense theory in the case of five
young men accused of ah attack on
a 17-year-old girl.
Raymond Dehoe, one of the five,
is on trial in the Shelby Circuit
Court, the defense having elected
for separate trials. Others facing
charges preferred by Miss Josephine
Cord, farm girl, are Theodore Seitz,
Raymond Muir. Edward Hungate
and Robert Kettler.
State testimony will probably
be concluded todqy. Attorney Lee
Tremain, Greensburg, in his opening
statement in Dehoe’s behalf de
clared he woulc\ show all that tran
spired during a trip of the girl and
five men in an auto was done with
her consent, asserting the affair was
a result of today’s social conditions.
The accusing girl spent three
hours on the witness stand Wednes
day, denying she was a willing com
panion of the five men on the auto
trip July 5. The defense on cross-
I examination failed to shake her
! story.
So great is the publi’s interest in
the trial that many spectators bring
lunch to the Courthouse to hold
V>eats. as only enough persons, to take
all seats are permitted in the room.

TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL
Taxpayers’ Association Says $450,000
Is Too Much.
Attacking the $450,000 bond issue
proposed by the school board to
build ah auditorium and two class
room wings to Arsenal Technical
High School, a remonstrance filed
by the Indiana Taxpayers’ Associa
tion with Harry Dunn, county au
ditor, asks a review before the State

petition.
The petition alleges
is larger than the amount neces
sary to build the proposed additions.
The school board’s proposal to buy
real school and library
purposes, with any amount remain
ing, is attacked on the ground that
it does not specify the sites.
ARREST MAN’
Alleged Scheme to Defraud Local
Men is Probed.
M. A. Parker, Chicago “business
man,” was held by police Wednes
day afternoon pending investigation
of an alleged scheme to defraud two
local men of S4OO each.
Parker told detectives he was
“broke" and advertised for a man
ager of a local grocery store. He said
two men who answered the adver
tisement and were to deposit bond
to his credit.
T. M. Overly, Better Business Bu
reau manager, asked police to in
vestigate.
TRY TO PURIFY CREEK
Attempts today are being made
to keep the waters of Pleasant Run,
near Garfield Park, free from pol
lution. Upon recept of several com
plaints, Dr. Herman G. Morgan,
city sanitarian, Wednesday ordered
distribution of lime where odors arc
most offensive.
This problem confronted the
board of park commissioners, board
of health and other city depart
ments last summer.
BIDS RECEIVED
ON RESURFACING
Cost for Meridian St. Work
Estimated SIIO,OOO.
Bids for resurfacing Meridian St.
between Fall Creek and Maple Rd.,
were to be received this afternoon,
by the park board. The engineer
estimated the cost at SIIO,OOO for
sheet asphalt.
This improvement will give Me
ridian St. one of the most impor
tant traffic arteries, excellent sur
facing between Washington St. and
the Canal, the rough section be
tween St. Joseph and Sixteenth Sts.,
having been widened and resur
faced this summer. Motorists have
been agitating for the improvement
for years.
Bids also were to be received for
the new brick and stucco commu
nity house for Brookside Park. The
architect estimated cost at $109,500.
Bids received three weeks ago were
rejected because the lowest was
$120,000.
Hearing was to be held upon the
damage roll for acquisition of thirty
seven acres for a playground south
of Tenth St. and west of Olin Ave.
Appraisers report the property will
cost $27,000.
