New Tax Law to Bare Intangibles Hubert Swit/.ler Tells Conti nental Club Art Will Be Success. Robert M. Hwitzler believes the operation of the new 1925 Intangible tax law will tarot to disclose this form of property and will be r more uniform and fair method of taxation. He spoke on this subject to members of the Continental club Friday noon at Hotel Fontenelle. A few of the points he made are as follows: The new 1925 Intangible tax law Is, In my opinion, one of the most constructive and practical laws passed in Nebraska for many years. The outstanding features are that It great ly simplifies the making of tax re turns. especially for corporations, tends to disclose rather than conceal intangible property, makes more uni form and fair the taxing of Individ uals, banks and corporations (both domestic and foreign?, and provides a workable penalty. Will Reveal Intangibles. The system for corporations of charging against capital stock sur plus and undivided profits by deduct ing real estate and outside property on which taxes are paid, non taxable securities, listing personal property (merchandise, etc.), and then paying 2 1-2 mills on the dollar for cash In bank, etc., will, of absolute necessity, produce intangibles in order to bal ance the account, something no pre vious system has-been able to ac complish. Although but little time is allowed public officers to prepare forms on account of the law not passing until next to the last day of the legisla ture, Its operation on April 1 this year will produce more taxes than formerly. For Instance, instead of hanks paying on one fourth the levy on intanglhles, or 7 and 3 10 mills In Douglas county, rs was done last year, they will pay approximately on 21 mills. nucrMg in inner maim. Th<» Nebraska law la similar to Iowa and Minnesota, both of which states have had marked success. In Iowa in 1912, which was the last year under the old system, intangibles produced but $36,000,000, In 1924, under the new system of five mills, they produced $666,000,000. In Min nesota in 1910. under the old system, $311,000,000 was produced, whereas In 1924, under the 3 mill levy $403,000, 000 was produced. The method of apportionment a.s between county and states has been criticised by some who contend the Minnesota plan is better, wherein one sixth Is apportioned to the state and one sixth to the county. In Ne braska. where the state levy Is 2 milla ami Douglas county about 30 mills, the state gets only one fifteenth of the county Instead of an equal amount. Obviously the Nebraska law Is the better of the two. The penalties produced by the law have teeth in them snd sre extreme In their nature. Both political parties In 1924 hsd a plank in their platforms advocating, the repeal of the Intangible tax law ; In spite of this the law was not re pealed, hut amended largely through the Intelligent efforts and diligent work of Senator John 66'. Robbins from Douglas county. . Sheriff of Haven County Convicted of Drunkenness McCook, April 1ft.—Sheriff Alfred \V.

This is that he always ts willing to admit his mistake. He was quite up set when told by Jumper the ltHie that what he had thought he had seen h* hadn't seen at all in regard to the drumming of Thunderer the Uroiise. But when Jumper suggested that it would take very tough aides He suddenly became very shy. and presently flew away. Indeed to stand the thumping of those stout wings of Thunderer's he saw tight away that this was so. He just hadn't thought of It. In fact, he hadn t done any teal think ing. "Well said he. "when I watched Thunderer this morning It certainly looked iim tf he thumped tils sides wdh h|s wings. It certainty did look that way If he doesn't pound hla sides, what does he pound? He must bent something to make all that noise." ' We’ll go watch him again." arid Jumper. "He is hock on that old log pnw so we’ll tost go oyer there and watch." They did. They reached a place where they could yvateh, yet were themselves unseen. There Is only ■me Thunderer cares to see hint drum, and that Is Mrs Grouse. j( wholly for her benefit that he drums ho Peter snd Jumper remained hidden nd watched They were qtt te close, so that they mild see clearly all lhat was to he seen. "Watch" whispered Jumper, as Thunderer's yyings flushed out and up. Out, up and down, out, up and down those stout wings flashed, gradually moving faster and faster. Put befote they \y rre moving too syylftly to be more than a blur had made a discovery. "Why,*' he yyhl«pered. "I do believe that all he does Is to treat on the air!" Jumper nodded "That ts all.” said he. "And If you will watch cloaelv you will see that In (he beginning, anyway. It Is when he brings his yyloga out and Up that he makes the noise, not yylien lie tilings them down t guess that yylien those wing* are limy tug ao fast they may make the noise when coming down, hut t knoyy that they make tt going up. Whether he doe* it one yy i. or hot h vy a' * he does It by drumming on the air, and that Is all there is to it.

They -will believe anything rather than take the trouble to find out the facts. Anv ore stopping to think at all would know that just feathers, no matter how stiff, struck together couldn't possibly make such a noise. It is all in the way he <atrhes the atr with those wing*. Un t It. Thunderer?" Thunderer had discovered Peter and Jumper hiding there and was looking at them with suspicion in those bright eyes of his. "I don’t know what you are talk ing ah</ut. but if you say it is 1 guess it is," said he "What ate you doing there, anyway?" ‘Admiring your drumming." re plied Jumper, promptly. "At the same time, Cousin Peter here has been learning that the air. not a hol low lug or your sides or your wing* bitting together, is your drum. Isn't that so?" "Of course, of course." replied Thunderer. People do get such fool, ish id**s Of lourse I uee the *ir for my drum." "Drum again." begged Peter. Put Thunderer wouldn t. He »ud denly became verv modest and shy and presently flew away. So this is how Peter Rabbit learned the truth about the drumming of Thunderer the Grouae. (Copyright. ISH.)
