Blanks for the new sign-up by de

Bank have been formally approved
by the comptroller of she currency in
Washington, and the printing has
been completed, and everything is
now in readiness for the sign-up to
begin, it was announced today by
Jasper B. Hicks, chairman of the now
campaign.
Printed forms are in the hands of
the committee and are also on file at
the First National Bank.
Mr. Hicks said today that “we have
every assurance that the bank will be
allowed to open in 15 days after the
agreements are signed and returned.
It is, therefore, to the interest of every
one in this community to get a sign
up as quickly as possible. Ten per

full, interest will begin to run on

We have a final date for the sign-up,
but we don’t have to wait for the
final date."
“I wish in this way to urge every
depositor who reads this notice 'to go
immediptety to flhc First National
Bank and sign the agreement," said
Mr. Hicks. “If you know of another
depositor near you. take that deposi
tor with you, if possible. Let’s work
together and open this bank at once.
It will take time, postage and ex
penses for operation of cars to see or
write .'.o jou |ij?rsonally. You can
save that for yourself and your bank
if you will act promptly.”
Mr. Hicks urged interested de
positors and others to attend the meet
ing at the court house Saturday aft
ernoon at 2 30 o’clock, when the plan
will be and whe" those
present can s<gn the agreement.
INCOME TAX LIMIT
IN FOR REVISIONS
(Continued from Page One.)
Tut of 1933 General Assembly. It had
been hinted the special session of the
1931 assembly would take the limit
)f six per cent off, but there will be
no session of that 1931 body. A new
legislature elected in November may
have a chance to convene ahead of
he regular January conclave.
A proposal to lift the income re
strictions will be made. The income
tax is paid with less protest than any
other. And that is the only certain
one. The legislature of 1931 set this
six per cent flat on foreign corpora
tion incomes. Rates against individual
income tax payers were raised from
20 to 75 per cent. But these incomes
shrank so tremendously that they
raised only $683,000 as against nearly
M. 000.000 the year before.

Many, it must be admitted, were
mightily insistent upon “jobs and the

"the bonus or jobs” was the crusad
i ers' ultimatum-in fact, jobs in pre
ference to the bonus.
Now. there Is no denying that to
the idea of Intimidation of the gov
ernment was woven Into the purposes
of the ex-service men's concentration
in the capital—intimidation of con
gress while it remained in session;
! intimidation of the White House after
S congress' adjournment.
] This necessarily was the case. Oth-
I erwise. why the concentration?

Here is the conference at the Waldorf-Astona, Nqw that otficiall
launched the Eastern campaign for the re-election of President Hoove
Seated, left to right, are: Senator Felix Hebert, of Rhode Island, chan
man of’the Eastern campaign; Everett Sanders, chairman of the Republ
can National Committee, and James F. Burke, general counsel. Standin
are Rep. John Q. Tilson of Conn (left) and George B. DeKeim. sec re tar
of the National Committee.
Personally, I cannot see much dif
ference between intimidation by sev-1
eral thousand ex-service men and an 1
equal amount of it by a single indi
vidual. For example, a visit to Wash-1
ington by J. P. Morgan may be just 1
as intimidating as a visit by a dele
gation the size of the B. E. F.-~one
man intimidation merely being more
concentrated.
Still, intimidation was a factor in
the problem.
Granting, then, that the veterans
did seek to exercise an intimidating
influence upon national officialdom, it
clearly was to their advantage to ex
ervise as much of it as they could
muster—in their case, that is to say,
to make a maximum display of num
bers.
By limiting their demand to the
bonus, they kept down their number.
Transformation of the affair into a
general unemployment demonstration
unquestionably would have added to
its strength enormously.
It is estimated that there are 500,-
000 unemployed within walking dis
tance of Washington. An invitation to
them to join the B. E. F. nucleus
probably would have brought them
piling Into the district in droves, not
to mention those from farther away.
For the last two months fear of
an influx of this sort—perhaps ex
ceeding 1,000,000 —has kept govern
mental authority in a fever of anxiety.
It is to be considered that the gov
ernment did not dare—much as it de
sired to break up the siege, by starv
ation or any other method—to stop
feeding even the veterans, since it
realized the crisis which immediately
would ensue if they faced starvation.
Ostensibly the emergency was met
by voluntary contributions, but the
best of care was taken to prevent any
lapse in these offerings.
How serious the situation would
have become, had the number of the
capital's sojourners been multiplied by
50 or 100, can be imagined. And. as
previously remarked, it was beginning
to be believed that B. E. F. leader
ship was preparing to aresort to a
general unemployment broadcast, to
counteract the gradual decline in the
occupying army's proportions.
SINGIFpERMIT FOR
BUILDING 13 $7,000
J. A. Cotton Residence on Pearl
Street Only New Construction
In Month of July
A single building permit for $7,000
was the total for the month of July.
Fine Chief E. T. Shepherd reported
today. That was issued to Prof J. A.
Cotton for his new residence on Pearl
street, near the Henderson Institute.
Only one other month. February
showed a larger total than that, how
ever. To date, for the first sfven
months of 1932, total new building
for which permits have been Issued,
amounts to $28,650. Some building ac
tivity has been reported for every
month except May.
SMALL - STILL FOUND
WEST OF HENDERSON
A 25 gallon still was taken in cus
tody yesterday afternoon about three
miles west of the city by the sheriff's
officers. About 60 gallons of mash
were destroyed at the still along with
a good quantity of distilling equip
ment. The copper kettle was brought
into town and destroyed.
The distillers were warned of the
approach of the officers and two men
in the process of operating managed
to escape. No whiskey had been run
off. according to the officers, for a
fire had just been built under the
boiler. The operators were not Iden
tified.
