From 40 to 50 motion picture

For the privilege of taking pic

The Westminster hospital, di

Many Anecdotes of Pictur
esque Jurist Are Told at
Gatherings Down Town
CHICAGO, Feb. 18'.' Judge
Landls' resignation from the fed
eral bench to devote all his time
to baseball was the chief topic at
scores of downtown gatherings
today and many interesting inci
dents in the judge's judicial life
were recalled.
During bankruptcy proceedings
before him once the judge dis
covered that one bit of property
in litigation was a saloon.
"Call up that saloon." he or
dered his bailiff, "and have it
closed at once. I'll be darned If
I'm going to tend bar while sit
ting on the federal bench."
"Never write a letter to your
mother-in-law when you are sore"
the judge told a man who had
fought with his wife's mother.
"Remember to treat her with re
spect. - She is your children's
grandmother, and a grandmother
in a family is a blessing to the
children."
Judge Landis was holding court
when the baseball magnates came
to offer him the $50,000 a year
job as baseball commissioner.
"Tell them I'm too busy to talk
about such things now" the judge
told his ba'.liff. "if they want
to, they can wait."
The baseball men waited two
hours to offer Judge Landis $50,
000 a year.
Some time ago a reporter asked
Judge Landis about one of the
numerous rumors that he had re
signed.
"Doesn't It beat the devil," re
plied the judge. "Soon as a man
gets somewhere they want him to
resign. Then, if he resigns, they
raise the dickens and want to
know the real reason for it. I
guess when I do resign they'll fig
ure up ten thousand reasons for
it and none of them will be
right."

For Tax Sales.
FIGHT ANTICIPATED AS
MEASURES ARE SCANNED
Much Doubt That Sales Tax
Bonus Bill Would Survive
Strife in House
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18 The
soldier bonus situation had sim
mered down today perceptibly,
following the first reaction from
President Harding's suggestion
that the adjusted compensation
be financed by a sales tax or that
the enactment of the legislation
be postponed. There was, how
ever, no apparent slackening of
the determination of Republican
house leaders to pass the measure
at this session.
Majority members of the house
ways and means committee were
called to meet Monday to tackle
the whole problem again. They
were expected to pass upon the
legislative provisions of the
measure before going into the
question of wars and means of
raising funds. ,
Fight Is Predicted
Proponents of a sales tax seem
confident that the Republican
committeemen would decide on
this form of taxation to raise the
approximately $800,000,000 ne
cessary to cover the cash pay
ments as now provided for in the
measure. It was certain, how
ever, that the sales tax would not
be voted in without a sharp
fight.
It was said that any sales tax
adopted would not be a general
one. A manufacturers' tax, sim
ilar to that proposed by Senator
Smoot, Republican, Utah, and re-
ected by the senate during con
sideration of the tax revision hill.
was one of the suggestions ad
vanced. It was claimed that this
tax at a rate of 1 per cent would
produce the amount of money
required.
Many Plans Advanced
Several other forms of a sales
tax are known to be under con
sideration and it Is not expected
that there will be a hasty decis
ion as to any of them. It was
learned that treasury experts re
cently had -prepared a form of
sales tax which its framers con
tend can be easily administered
and cannot be evaded.
Whether a bonus bill with a
sales tax attached could be put
through the house still seemed
doubtful, some leaders declaring
that the situation in this respect
defied analysis at this time
Meantime, farm organizatons con
tinned their attack on tnis tax.
Gray Silver. Washington repre
sentative of the American Farm
Bureau federation, addressed a
letter to each member of congress
protesting against it.
Mach Ih at Stake
"Taxes are already exceedingly,
high." the letter said, "and a
sales tax would only mean fur-i
ther burden upon the average in
dividual, and when we stop to
consider that the average Income
of each man, woman and child in
this country whose income is be
low the income tax level, is only
$333 a year, the American Farm
Bureau federation believes it
would be a rank injustice to raise
further revenue for the soldiers'
bonus by this method. It would
take away from these people any
prospect of accumulating a com
petence, no matter how small,
and would blight their hope of
bettering their conditions."
Judge Kuykandall of
Klamath Quits Position
Circuit Judge E. V. Kuykendall
of Klamath county has resigned,
according to a letter received at
the office of Governor Olcott yes

an acre at a conservative esti
mate and which includes some of
the most valuable land in that

to recover title which were filed
by the state Saturday in the cir
cuit court at Lakeview. The gen
eral basis of the suits is that the
