Whoesalers After Chain Stores.
The wholesale houses in this por
tion of the country, whose salesmen
make this territory are very active
in what they are doing to put the
chain stores out of business and have
the trade come to the business houses
where the owners are men of this
community. This looks eminently
right, and with the co-operation of
the buying public and the business
houses themselves the matter will not
be so difficult. It will be noticed
that the chain stores do a cash busi
ness and when some customers have
gotten a bill big enough with the
local merchant they immediately
when they have the cash, go to the
chain stores to trade, leaving their
unpaid bills for the merchants to
worry about. If the local merchants
all would adopt the cash plan, the
matter would solve itself, for then
they could out sell .the chain store t
and would not be suffering great
losses in their business.

At the Union Busines Men's club,
Secretary P. F. Rihn, read a report

five cents expended. Dr. A. II. Acken
bach, who has been the president of
the club announced that he had been
in Union for a year and had not re
ceived enough business during the
time to make a living, and had to
draw on other sources. He also said
that with the coming month he would
close the office in Union and return
to Nebraska City where l.e would
open an office, and would welcome
what business that might come to
him from Union and vicinity. He
also announced that at the meeting
the coming week there would be an
election of officers for the coming
year. All are requested to be present
and select the best man possible for
the various positions which there are
to fill.
Miss Atteberry Arrives.
On last Monday afternoon. Miss
Atteberry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Atteberry arrived in Union
via the stork route and was happily
received by the parents. The little
lady is cherished greatly by the fond
mother, and the smiling face of
Charles is even more pleasant, if pos
sible on account of the presence of
the little lady. All concerned are do
ing nicely and happiness reigns
supreme.

of Mr. Mont Itobb and daughter, Miss

Hot Debates on
Dry Law Change
are in Prospect
Enforcement Transfer Provision Is
Reported for Considera
tion" Thursday
Washington The movement to
empower the attorney general to dic
tate how industrial alcohol permits
should be regulated by the secre
tary of the treasury received more
attention in the house Monday as the
prohibition enforcement transfer
bill was reported for consideration
Thursday.
The first of President Hoover's re
commendations aimed to strengthen
dry law enforcement appeared to
face a stormy voyage in the house.
A group composed of both wets and
drys are dtermined to eliminate the
provision to place the responsibility
of administering industrial alcohol
jointly with the treasury and justice
departments.
Altho given legislative preference
by the rules committee, the way has
been left open for the seven mem
bers of the expenditures committee
who opposed the provision to bring
before the house an amendment to
place the sole regulatory power with
the attorney general.
Minority for Transfer.
The seven minority members, con
sisting of five drys and two wets,
held in their report Monday that
the "illegal division of industrial
alcohol under the existing enforce
ment provisions with dual responsib
ility, has caused the present deplor
able conditions in the enforcement of
the prohibition laws." However, they
joined the majority in support of
the transfer.
The house wets and drys said troy
would support the group led by Rep
resentative Gasqiiv?, dry of South Car
oline, the ranking democrat on the
expenditures committee. He pre
dicted the amendment would be ac
cepted by the hou.se.
Another development in the pro
hibition tangle occurred before a
senate judiciary subcommittee, where
Jacob D. Walter, who was being ex
amined as a nominee for United
States marshal in Connecticut, re
plied "yes and no" when asked if
he drank. Walter said he favored
enforcing the prohibition law and
his nomination was unanimously ap
proved. He explained that he had
no appetite for drink, but added that
he had drank.
Wet Block to Meet.
The house wet bloc will meet
Tuesday to for:::ulatc its plan to
contest for 2.75 percent beer, repeal
of the eighteenth amendment and
niodiiication of the Volstead act when
hearings open before the house judi
ciary committee on Feb. 12.
Representative Clancy of Michi
gan, announced he had received a
telegram from Horace W. Bigelow
of Parke Davis & Co., a large in
dustrial alcohol consumer, opposing
the Willianon bill on the ground
that it provides dual control of the
permits.
"No legitimate user of alcohol
should be required to operate under
the supervision of two government
departments," the telegram read.
It advocated that "unrestricted con
trol of the permit system under the
national prohibition act" be given to
the treasury department.
Clancy said the house would carry
out President - Hoover's request for
the transfer, but that he would make
an effort to keep the permit author
ity under the treasury.
Wickersh?m to Be Heard.
Appearing before tTie rules com
mittee to atk for legislative right
of way to expedite house action on
the transfer measure. Chairman
Williamson held that the rule should
allow for amendments. He said that
he wanted all matters germane to
the proposed legislation to be given
consideration, but that only amend
ments dealing with the transfer
shcwM be brought up. The majority
report explained details of the bill,
pointing out that it did not change
the law except just so far as was
necessary to effect the transfer.
"The duties, powers and functions
imp;.cd upon the secretary of thej
treasury by the act of Nov. 23, 1921,"
it said, "creating the bureau of pro
hibition with respect to prohibition
enforcement are transferred to and
imposed upon the attorney general."
The house judiciary subcommit
tee will hear Chairman Wickersham
of the law enforcement commission
Thursday on the Christopherson
biils to empower United States com
missioners to conduct summary trials
of silght and casual prohibition vio
lators, to which considerable opp
asition has developed on constitu
tional grounds. State Journal

Urge Income
Tax for Iowa
Revenue Committee Deems Step Ad
visable; Consider 1 Per
Cent Per $1,000
Cedar Rapids, Feb. 3. The Iowa
legislative committee on revenue and
taxation, in a meeting held at Cedar
Rapids Saturday, discussed the mat
ter of drafting a legislative bill set
ting up a state income tax and
"rather generally agreed that such
plan is advisable," Senator C. F.
Clark, chairman of the committee,
said Monday.
No action toward drafting the bill
was taken. Senator Clark said.
Assuming that an income tax bill
was satisfactory to the committee,
lie said, no bill would actually be
drafted until after the next report to
be made in about three months.
1 Per Cent Per $1,000.
Another member of the committee
in Des Moines Monday said the in
come tax bill discussed would contain
few exemptions and that the rates
very probably would be on the basis
of 1 per cent on the first $1,000 of
income.
One per cent would be added, he
said, for each $1,000 of income up to
$5,000, when a fiat rate probably
would be established.
The corporation tax, he said, was
left open for further investigation as
to whether it was preferable to have
it incorporated in the income tax
bill proposed or be a tax of another
nature in a separate bill.
The committee set March 7 at Des
Moines, as the time and place for the
next meeting. Omaha Bee-News.
