PBOGREHSIVE PARTIES
Why not re-lntroduca tlu fnjl nr
the progressive party, to eliminate J
excessive cost to any one family for
entertainment everybody desires? '
This can be done comfortably if all
your mends live nearby. At the first
house hors-d'oeuvres may .be served,
at the next soup, at the third the
main course, at the fourth dessert
and coffee, and at the fifth bridge
may be played with light refresh
ments afterward. In this way all have
done their part and all have had a
party.

"Rising Tide" Of
Divorce A Myth,
Foundation Says!
PASADENA, Dec. 4 The "risfnp-'
tide of divorce" Is largely a myth and '
the public has been badly fooled by!
statistics on this subject, declares the
Human Betterment Foundation.
"Current figures show one divorce
suit filed for every five or six mar-'
rlage licenses issued' says a report
issued today. "From this the fal
lacious conclusion Is drawn that one
marriage out of every five or six Is
destined to break up. .
"Such an Idea Is nonsensical. No
one would make tiie mistake of reck- :
onlng bank failures, for Instance, by
comparing the number of failures In
a year with the number of new baa.es
opened that year. The failures would
be compared with the number of
banks In existence.
;-;"If the same method were applied
to divorces, it would be found that,
there Is one divorce each year for
every 125 existing marriages. When it
is remembered that in -a large part
of the divorces, one and sometimes
both parties are biologically abnormal
persons, as shown, for Instance by
their shorter expectation of life. It
will be realized that the marriages of
normal people are still relatively
stable.
"The present century is a period of i
change In every way. But the family i

Farmers Evading
Agricultural Act,
Officer Reports
i
PORTLAND, Ore., (Special) Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Guy T. '
Helvering stated today that it has
been brought to the attention of the
bureau of internal revenue that In
many instances farmers and others
arc slaughtering hogs and selling the
products to consumers without pay-;
ment of the processing tax. This 1
a violation of the agricultural adjust- i
m?nt act and regulations promulgated i
thereuiv'tfr, which provide that any
person who slaughters hogs for mar
ket must file appropriate returns and
pay the processing tax thereon. . j
The tax applies even in the case
of the producer who slaughters his
own hogs and sells or otherwise dis-:
poses cf all or any part of the pro-j
ducts. 1
Heavy penalties are provided for
violation of the law or evasion of
the tax and any person who slaugh
ters hogs and sells all or any part
thereof should confer with the collec- !
tor of Internal revenue for his dis-
trict who will assist him in preparing
and filing the required returns. i
LIQUOR BILL
FIGHT NEAR
IN SENATE
(Continued From Page One)
will be made to Include utilities un
der the provisions of the excise tax.
Utilities and similar firms under the
present act are exempt.
Governor Julius L. Meier, In a spe
cial message today, urged the intro
duction of the prepared measure call
ing for a one per cent privilege tax
on "persons engaged In the business
of selling tangible personal property
and utility and other services." -
The bill prepared by the executive
department, was sent to the taxation
and revenue committee of the house,
where it has since resided. The meas
ure would provide for relief for pub
lic schools cf the state.
Tne governor scored the master of
the state grange and the head of the
state federation of labor from whom
he said the chief opposition for such
a tax bill came. He said both of these
officials were "obstructionists In the
sense that while they are always pro
lific with objections to any and all
solutions presented, neither has any
remedy to present for this or any of
the other serious problems confront
ing the state."
The legislature again demonstrated
It agrees almost solidly on a few
things when the - house passed
another vetoed measure. It was sen
ate bill 11 from the regular session,
which would locate unemployed on
state lands. Only nine votes opposed
its passage.
The second major legislative pro
posal passed the house late yesterday
when the bill providing up to $3,000.
000 liquor revenue for unemployed
relief carried.
