A IMEE McPHERSON returns to
the front page, and that page
looks more like Its old self.
At this writing, just what is
wrong with the famous evangelist
seems to be somewhat of a con
jecture, and one guess seems to be
as good as another.
To Aimee herself, at least, the
important thing is that she is back
on the front page.
TPHAT remark is written without
insinuation of contempt. As for
her reported physical encounter
with her mother, such a thing, if
true In spite of her denial, Is
plainly disgusting. But Mrs. Mc
Pherson, like anyone else, may be
seriously ill, and like a great
many others, she may hare had n
beauty operation. She probabiy did
not Invite the newspapers to make
a great to-do about it.
But at the same time, it Is
doubtful that she objects strenu
ously to finding her name back in
the headlines. Less secretlveness
About her affliction, whatever it
is, would undoubtedly reduce its
news value.
But, instead of a' simple little
announcement, there are half . a
dozen conflicting statements from
Angelus temple, from her physi
cian and from her mother, which,
altogether, arouse public curiosity
and start the newspaper writers
of Los Angeles on their hunt.
AND those Los Angeles news-'
paper men welcome it. It Is a
part of the code of progress for
Los Angeles, it seems, that the
Los Angeles date-line should ap
pear over as much newspaper copy
as possible in any given length of
time. "
Los Angeles, in the space of a
few years, has become virtually
the news story capita of the coun
try, competing as the source of
news, with the nation's capital It
self. In fact, It was reported that
in one period a press service
actually carried on its nation-wide
wires more news originating from
Los Angeles than from " Washing
ton. i I
Whether you think It a desirable
type or not, there is, at any rate, a
vast volume of publcity for the
City of Angels.
fiAST your thoughts back over
the big Btories of the past few
years that have originated in Los
Angeles the Taylor case, the
Hickman case, the McPherson
case, the Northcott murders (not
really In Los Angeles, but most of
the stories carried that dateline),
the Julian oil conspiracy, and so
on. All of them big stories, with
sustained interest that has kept
them on the front pages of the na
tion's newspapers day after day.
And then, of course, there Is
Hollywood, a source in itself for
thousands of words which the
reading public has devoured.
A real harvest, for Los Angeles
newspapers.
AND that Is not all. Sometimes,
It looks as it there is a wide
conspiracy to help put the Los An
geles dateline on news stories.
Not long ago, the big Southland
city "muscled in" on Chicago's
own crime story, the Lingle case.
Frankie Foster and his friends,
fleeing the windy city when the
Investigation of this case became
a bit too Intensive, went, of course,
to Los Angeles to be apprehended.
And for several days Chicago lost
the limelight in this "big" story.
The Mooney case has belonged
to San Francisco for years. But
when Governor Young decided it
was time to make some significant
announcements in this case a
short time ago, where did he go to

Judge McMahan Rules.
(Associated Preaa Leased Wire)
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 21. The
American Bank & Trust company,
Portland, operated by Will Moore
and others, is a general corpora
tion having trust powers, but it is
not exempt from the provisions of
the state Blue. Sky act in its sale
of stock, says a decree by Judge
L. H. McMahan today.
The company brought Bult
against Mark D. McCalllster, as
state corporatiop commiBBloner,
seeking, under the declaratory
judgment act, to be declared a
trust company, and therefore
exempt from the Blue Sky law.
The company undertook to sell
stock without a permit, but was
Informed by McCalllster that it
could not exercise that privilege
because it was not a trust com
pany within the meaning of the
Blue Sky exemption. It then ap
plied for a permit to sell $200,000
in stock, and the permit was re
fused by McCalllster on the basis
of the company's showing. The
company then took the case into
court in an effort to be declared
a trust company.
QF MA'S PRESENCE
r LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21 With
Aimee Semple McPherson well
enough to consider returning to
her pulpit next Sunday, the latest
difficulties to beset the governing
powers of Angelus temple today
had resulted In another definite
break between the noted evangelist
and mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy.
Reporters Interviewing the evan
gelist at the Malibu beach cottage
she is staying at, quoted her as
saying she wanted her mother to
go away and let her alone.
"All I ask of mother," she was
quoted, "Is that she go away and
let me alone. She talks of com
ing back. I don't want her back."
Mrs. McPherson, terming her
self "just a sick girl," denied em
phatically she struck her mother.
Mrs. Kennedy, however, repeated
her assertions she suffered a
broken nose in a fistic encounter
with her daughter and announced
last night she would start for "the
mountains" as soon as she was
able to leave the sanitarium where
she is staying.
Mrs. Kennedy said she later
might go to Olympla, Wash., where
she recently dedlcnted a church.
She declared she never would re
turn to the temple as long as Mrs.
McPherson's secretary, Mae Wal
dron, remained.
Dr. Edward H. Williams announc
ed Mrs. McPherson probably would
be able to resume her pulnit Sun
day. He said the evangelist ex
pressed the desireto.do so.

Mrs. Leon McClintock have re

TAX REDUCTION IN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Treas
ury officials see little prospects of
maintaining for next .year the re
duction of orre per cent in income
taxes which was allowed this year
as an emergency measure by con
gress. Congressional action would be
necessary to extend the emergency
reduction over another year. Un
less action Is taken at the eh or I
session beginning next December,
the tax rates enacted In 192H would
apply on next year's taxes.
While the outlook Is not regard
ed as hopeful for the lower tax
scale. Secretary Mellon said today
It was too early to begin talkinc
with any definiteness about the tax
situation.
The treasury secretary said no
estimate would be made about the
future at this time. It was Indi
cated be agreed with the treasury
experts that the general business
sttuatfo'n Just now does not Var
rant hope for extending the emer
gency reduction over another year.
No action is expected to be taken
by the treasury in the formulation
of the tax policy for next year un

The view Is held at the treasury

less there Is a distinct violation of

in allowing the imports.
