MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1934- PAGE SDL LATTSJIOTTIH SEMI- WEEKL1 J0JTR3LAL MAKES CLEAR THE RULING ON COM- nCMCATJM 01 A I MO rhPaoiM f3 hi AliVlO I ii U-"li,,W More Concise Outline cf the Rules of the Veterans' Bureau on Com pensation Claims. From Saturday's Paily All claims fcr compensation must be filed within five years from the date of discharge, provided the dis ability for which hte claim is made existed at the time of discharge. Those disabilities which arose subse quent to discharge and are connect ive with service can be the subject of a claim at any th:.' within live years from the iute the disability began. This means that in pulmon ary tuberculosis and neuropsychi atry diseases, for example, possible claims might bo filed eight years from the date of the man's discharge. Service connection could be estab lished if the disability existed in a larger degree as great as ten per cent within throe years from the claimant's d barge and ir there is no evidence to show that the dis ability existed at any time prior to the three '.". rs period, tiie disabled man would t::tve live y ars from that time in which to file bis claim. There are to many questions in volved concerning the time limit for filing claims for disability compensa tion, that it appears that the only fafe and fair procedure to follow is to permit all claims to be filed, at the same time urging all ex-service men to enter their claims without delay in order to insure the protec tion of their rights under the law.

The wailing of the fire siren at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, mingled with the roar of the wind, aroused Louisville people from a sound slum ber. With the mercury down below zero and a forty mile wind blowing it was anything but a welcome sound , to the fire boys who had to turn out ! and juggle frozen hose. The lire was ' located in the residence of A. Coak- : ley on the corner of Second and Cherry streets. Mr. and Mrs. Coak ley were absent from home, having left Monday forenoon by auto for Lincoln, but could get no farther than Eagle on account of the roads.

He at once saw that escape was cut on" through the door and gathering up his clothing as best he could in the dark, he piled them on the bed and breaking cut a window threw them out and then era '.vied through. Be fore taking his departure he threw cut a trunk, but the lid came open and when it was rescued most of the contents had fallen out and were burned. He succeeded in getting his shoes on and an overcoat and made his way to the home of Mrs. Martha Haddon just across the street. The house and all its contents were con sumed. Lousville Courier. DECLARES MELLON FOR CORPORATIONS Senator Ccuzens Submits New Tax Reductions Proposal While Attacking- Secretary. Washington. Feb. 7. Charging Secretary of the Treasury Mellon with "playing directly into the hands of the corporations," Senator Couz ens Michigan, in another tax letter today said Mellon's laxity in enforc ing the law is costing the govern ment much revenue. "It is the administrative provi sions of the law and the lax enforce ment which is cutting down the revenues if they are being cut, s you claim," Couzens stated. "You are directing no effort to get at the corporations, but rahter are playing directly into their hands. For examnle vou are sellinjr billions cf dollars of government securities' at unreasonably hisrh interest rate?. Excessive Interest "It is estimated that you have paid the banks over $100,000,000 in excessive interest rates and you did this even though the banks pay no income or corporation taxes on gov ernment securities. "Your own banks, th-3 Mellon Na tional of rittsburg. holds nearly forty millions on which it pays no tax whatsoever." Couzens submitted two tax reduc tion proposals to Mellon: 1 Tax all dividends and in terest of personal holding com panies on the same basis as in dividuals, or," 2 Riso eornoration taxes from 1 Ve to 25 per rent if con gress reduces the maximum sur tax to 25 per cent. Couzens cited Teapot Dor.ie testi mony to prove that rich individuals j are avoiding the tax laws in various ways, especially by the formation of personal holding corporations for their own personal stocks and bonds. "The greatest loopholes for avoid ing surtaxes is the formation of hold ing companies in addition to the largo number already in existence," , Couzens wrote. I 'Will you tr-11 me if there is any" reason why they should not be taxed, or, in other words, why corporations receive all the preference?"

NEW PREMIER IS A FRIEND OF AMERICA Eamsay MacDonald Anxious to Re move Every Obstacle Which . Slight Impair Relations. London. Feb. 7. Prime Minister MacDonald, in his desire to remove ovcry obstacle calculated even re motely to impair the good relations between this country and the United States, will at an early date attempt to effect a settlement of the contro versy concerning the reopening of the American consulate at Newcas tle, it was learned from an authori tative scu'ree this afternoon. The prime minister also will sup port the confirmation in the house of commons of the Anglo-American liquor treaty, and he expects no se rious opposition to the passage of this measure. Mr. MacDonald is un derstood to feel regretful that it had ever become necessary to safeguard America's right to enforce her own prohibition laws by the negotiation of this special treaty. He would have preferred, it is indicated, to see all foreign nations, individuals, and s-hip owners, honorably to respect the American desire to keen out all il licit liquor in the attempt to enforce the principle of prohibition. On the question of disarmament, Mr. MacDonald is known to share heartily the views of the American .rovernrjipnt. and would welcome a gesture from Washington for the convocation of another conference having as its object a further dim inution of the naval and military equipment of the nations of the eprth. He is firmly convinced that an appeal to the sense of justice; the reason and the higher Instincts of the nations would do more to re store the pe?.ce of the world than the maintenance of giant navies and armies. The premier advocated the exten sion of the principles of arbitration between the United States and Great T'rUain and will do everything pos sible to facilitate formal agreement.
