TNIany New Taxes
Will Be Needed
To Pay the Bonus
This program of soldiers' bonus
taxes has been agreed upon by a house
ways and means committee.
Two and one-half per cent on the
undivided profits of corporations, esti
mated to yield $22,000,000.
On parcel post pacnages on which
the postage amonts to 25 cents or
more, a tax of 1 cent for each 25 cents
or fraction thereof, $20,000,000.
One cent a gallon on gasoline, $70,
000,000. .
Twenty-five cents per horsepower
-cn automobiles, $50,000,000.
Double the present 10 per cent tax
on admission where the charge ex
ceeds twenty-five cents, $00,000,000.
Double existing documentary Btamps
taxes, except in the case of sales or
transfers of capital stock on which
the rate would be increased from 1-50
f 1 per cent to 1-10 of 1 per cent,
J64.000.000.
An increase of 50 cents per 1,000 in
the tax on cigarets, $25,00,000.
An increase of 2 cenU a pound on
smoking and chewing tobacco, $50,
O00.000. Meantime another subcommittee of
the house ways and means committee
will work on the bonus bill itself.
Chaiman Fordney hoped to have the
completed measure with the appended
tax program ready for the house with
in a week or ten adys.
Except for the taxes on undistrib
uted profits and on parcel post pack
ages and the elimination of the pro
posal for a tax on bank checks, the
program as finally draw by the sub
committee was that tentatively agreed
upon Saturday. The total estimate
of revenue is $310,000,000, or $34,000,
000 short of the $350,000,000 a year
the committee figure has dnecessary
to cover the cash bonus payments over
the two and one-half years beginning
January 1, 1923.
Approval of the tax on undistrib
uted profits came as a surprise. This
levy is unlerstood to have been urged
by Representative Frear, republican,
Wisconsin. It was pointed out that
the rate agreed upon was tnly one
eighth of that suggested by David
Houston in his last annual report as
secretary of the treasury.
Among the documentary stamp
taxes doubled are those on real estate
conveyances. The present rates are
5 cents where the sum exceeds $100
and does not exceed $500 and DO
cents for each additional $500.
SPORTS
big forward should lie a show in him
self for 200 pound basket bnll players
are few nnd far between. Hartmnn is
good too as is shown by the number of
baskets he gets in every game. The
last few home games have been poorly
patronized, probably because the teams
played have not been fast enough to
make the game hold any thrill. This
cannot be said of the Bayard bunch,
however, as they will make any west
ern Nebraska team move to beat
them. Coach Prince wants an espe
cially good attendance at this game as
it will be the last chance to-see the
locals in action for Fome time.
Bridgeport high school bit the dust
before the local warriors Tuesday
evening in the local gym. The Bridge
port team which holds the cellar posi
tion in the conference was outclassed
by the locals although they were with
out the services of Dailey the stellar
forward and played a listless game.
Bicknell sub forward was the star of
the game making seven baskets. Cross
and Captain Fowler sunk a few spec
tacular shots from the middle of the
floor, while Brown dropped a few in
from beneath the basket. The second
team 'was sent in late in the second
half but had sufficient time for Inman
the husky center to drop a basket from
the center of the floor. All of Bridge
port's points came on free throws by
Brummet, center.

How many people remember the
last time that Alliance won the west
ern Nebraska basket ball champion
ship? This was in 1914 when Attor
ney E. L. Meyer was coach. This
team had as forwards Martin Nolan
and Clarence Schafer. center Willy
Darnell, and guards Jack Graham and
Milton Keegan. "Bud" Darnell the
dusky center was according to the, old
time fan3 never outjumped and was
one of the fastest players ever seen on
the local court. This team made the
first holiday tour which under Coach
Prince has become an annual affair.
On this triD they played a number of
eastern teams and while they did not
win all their games they made a vgry
creditable showing. On this trip- they
played Peru normal and held them to
a close score.
Elmer Shellchberger is a brave man
but - . At Chappell when the
Chnppellites got irate and refused to
let him referee he could have gone into
the gym and announced that the game
was forfeited to Alliance and his lecf
sion would have stood as the board of
control appointed him referee. How
ever, the catch was that it was neces
sary to announce the decision to the
crowd. Shellenberger would have done
it too if Coach Prince had asked him,
but this was too much like feeding
him to the lions or something similar.
However, the difficulty was smoothed
out and Alliance won anyway so what's
the difference.
Bridgeport has at last found a team
which they can defeat. They ought to
get a number of games with this team
and rav.se the season's average which
until now has remained at zero. For
last Wednesday Bridgeport defeated
Broadwater 35 to 7. Hurrah for
Bridgeport.
All railroads in Nebraska will grant
reduced rates to the basket ball teams
attending the state high school, tour
nament at Lincoln. March 9. 10 and 11.
The rates will be one and one half
fare for the round trip and will mean
a material saving to the more than
200 teams attending the tourney next
month.
Wahoo, one of the team3 that
dumped Alliance on their trip has been
going at a fast clip ever since having
to date lost no games. Alliance, how
ever, gave them a stiff battle and the
Bohemians were forced to step their
best to win. Tuesday they defeated
Crete. Crete has been going at a fast
pace all season too and this victory
means a good deal to the . Wahoo
cagesters.
Peru Normal looks good for the
state college championship this year
as it is leading the conference row
with six victories and no defeats. The
Peruvians defeated Midland and Kear
ney twice and the Doane and Wayne
Normal once each. They still have
four conference games, however, two
with Cotner and one each with Hast
ings and Doane. The Cotner at Cotner
and the Doane games seem to le the
stiff est &3 Hastings has so far done
little toward annexing the banner. Our
nearest conference school, Chi'iron,
leads Grand Island and Wayne nor
mal only in the race. Wayne normal
has made a rather poor showing for a
team that played a nost season fame
to decide the football championship.
Bayard will play at the local gym
Friday evening in a game that should
be close and full of interest for Bayard
has shown every team they have
played a good contest Hartman the
THE LOST HOLE.
I remember, I remember.
The knothole in the fence,
Whereat I gazed on baseball games
At very small expense.
Oh, I am glad I am not young,
With freckles on my brow,
Because the fence around the park
Is built of concrete now.

W. H. Oslome, state tax commis
sioner, announced that a series of
meetings with tax assessors in various
parts of the stnt will be held to ex
plain the working of senate file f.r, the
revenue bill paased at the last regular
session, which becomes operative in.
1922. I
The chief aim of that bill was to
coax out intangible assets, money, tux
able bonds and other holdings which
the old law failed to reach. I
"The truth of the matter Is that in
past years we haven't been td1e to get
one-twelfth the deposit in banks based
on their annual reports," Osborne said.
"And that doesn't include money nnd
taxable valuables tucked away in afety
deposit viultsj and family stocking.
Senate file 65 provides that the tax
on intangibles shall be one-fifth of the
tax on real and personal property. In
past years the tax on intangibles has
been the same as that on tangible
property and the state of affairs men-,
tionet above by Osborne was the re
Milt. i
The theory under which the one-fifth
nroposition was passed was that own
ers of intangibles would list their hold
ings under the smaller ttx.
