The dirnified Von Hindenburg rearlnr the Bleucher star Of which he is the only bolder, re plied that his hope expressed a year ago for a spirit of unity in Germany I "unfortunately has not fceen fulfilled." "Each individual's anxiety for bis own fate," he said, "has rele- f rated -to the background the srger consideration of the: wel fare of "the Fatherland and has created fresh disagreements. Why ahouM these differences tear the -nation asunder? When they are considered soberly 1 they are not so big as to prevent cooperation on vital Issues.

The story isn't heavy, which may be one reason why those who are seeing it enjoy it.'

The whole is a duo which tarns to a triangle, then takes on tour sides -and switches back to an expected duo. ( Play" Bandit Gets Realistic; Tragedy Results MELROSE, Mass., Jan. 1.

Month to Common wealths' Ingenuity By DALE HARBISON (Copyright, 1931, By The iAjssociated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. l.--(AF) Two economic extremes demand on the one hand for definite tax relief and on the other for liberal state spending; to solve unemployment challenge the legislative ingenuity of American common wealths this month. m In 20 of the 44 states whose legislatures will be In ses sion this year most of them convening this month there is a definite trend forwift and certain measures of econ omy. In the remaining states economy lacks primary em phasis only because R is overshadowed by more immediate matters of state concern. i I The picture is sharply sketched in statements to the l Associated Press by its corres pondents at state capitals: "Thorough collection and ; ef ficient spending of the' people's money will be the goal of legist lative sessions in the south! taxation looms large again this year as the major problem I ot the tar west. Southwestern leg islatures face the serious prob lem of tax revision. The old perennial, taxation, will block again everywhere in the middle west." ' j TAxes High Enough Tho extension ot state taxing powers Is a noticeable tendency. The Individual citizen, taking a view that ordinary taxes, parti cularly property taxes, have gone high enough, has charged his representatives at the state capital to do two things: (1) Reduce state expenditures to a in mo lax dui, ana iz) seex: means for additional tax monies by extending taxation to reach individuals and corporations who may not now bo seriously j af fected. 1 Taxation of so-called "Intan gibles" Is advocated In several states. Idaho is ono of these. At present virtually all revenue there state, county municipal and school - la obtained from taxes on real property. Tho gas tax and motorcar license fee are the only exceptions. Intangibles in Colorado j Colorado is ono- of . the states which hopes through a tax ion "Intangibles'; to relievo real property owners.

Minnesota sees additional revenue by in creasing the gas tax from "three to : four cents and by enacting cigaret and sales taxes. Iowa would increase its cigaret and Inheritance taxes and would im pose i taxes on butter substitutes and billboards. :, Relief; for Nebraska farmers has been proposed through the expedient ot abolishing tho tax on farm property and raising tho gas tax. Ohio will enact a complete new tax code, with a IS mile limit on real estate. ; Relief in Bay State Massachusetts is an outstand ing example of a state in which, precession reports indicate, un employment "relief will be given top position In the order ot busi ness. Past republican - adminis trations -there have followed a pay-as-you-go policy. Tho new governor, Joseph B. Ely, a demo crat, has intimated he will aban don this policy: to meet tho emergency ot unemployment. Washington is another state ia which real estate owners have demanded jnore equitable distri bution of the tax; burden. Prop erty under tho present system carries virtually the entire tax load.
