Tax Plan Called ‘Rich Men’s Bonus’ Mellon Scheme Advanced Pri marily to Defeat Vets* Com pensation, Says Legion Speaker. Stanton, Neb., Feb. 11.—Character izing the Mellon tax plan a* a "mil lionaires’ bonus” and a "clever scheme for shifting the burden of taxation to the ehouldere of those with small Incomes," Frank A. War ner, national executive committee man of the American Legion, spoke here tonight on the ‘‘Mellon Tax Plan and the Compensation Mea sure." Mr. Warner, In part said: "The Mellon tax plan was put forth primarily with the thought only of defeating the ex soldiers’ adjust ed compensation bill. The American Legion 1* In favor of tax reduction, but when Secretary Mellon asserts that tax reduction is Impossible If a soldiers’ adjusted compensation hill is passed, he knowingly and willfully lies. "The Mellon plan, while It appeals to the poor man by cutting off the amusement taxes and reducing his income tax 25 per cent, primarily will benefit the rich man. If, as Secre tary Mellon says, large incomes are being diverted to tax-free securities, 0 why did not he recommend some plan to correct this evil whereby the government could procure the taxes that were rightly due It? "The government Is losing millions in taxes because the rich, especially to evade the Inheritance tax, are giv ing away their property to members of their families before they die and still more millions are lost through the Incorporation of individuals. This is accomplished by forming a cor poration composed of the individual and the Immediate members of his family, such ns the one formed by Henry Ford, his son, Kdsel and his wife. Through this action they es cape by paying an income tax of on ly 12 per cent. "Not only are big business inter ests fighting the bonus measure be cause they are against paying an adjusted compensation to the ex soldiers, but also with the Idea that If this measure Is defeated the Ameri can Legion will become Impotent and its Influence In support of restricted immigration and anti-child labor leg islation will be lost.” Nebraska News Nubbins Ortl—The Ord High school debating team will meet the Greeley team at Greeley next week.

Medical School Junior Working Way as Church Gymnasium Director ■t C 'h.Volsa Wv «} Wild Animals Killing Deer Coyotes, Wolves and Moun tain Lions More Serious Menace Than Hunters. Pierre, S. D , Feb. 11.—Coyotes, wolves and mountain lions constitute h far more serious menace to the pres ervation of deer In the Black Hills than attacks by hunters, according to a report submitted to Gov. W. H. McMaster by A. S. Peck, United States district forester. Whlle elk in the Black Hills and Harney national forests in this state have increased from an estimated 50 in 1914 to 850 last year, the total estimated number of deer in the two areas dropped from 2.005 to 1,208 dur ing the same period, the report stated. The figures were computed from di rect observations by forest officers and were declared to be reasonably ac curate. The Increase in number of elk is set forth as a benefit from the pro tection afforded during the period. The report said that while some ranch ers have complained of destroyed fences, the general sentiment In the hills Is favorable toward the elk In crease. Black-tailed deer fell away In numbers from 1.690 to 663, thO esti mate showed. The number killed by hunters the Inst year, 175, was said to be less than the normal Increase. Adequate protection of deer and the hope of a continued open season seems to tie largely dependent on com plete eradication of lions and wolves and continuous warfare against coy otes,” the report continued. “At pres ent it is estimated there ere 1.600 coyotes, 26 wolves and eight moun tain lions in the two forests.” Attempt Made to Burn Old Sale Barn Is Thwarted Ord.
