IS. MODIFIED 8Y
The emergency clause on the
groes earnings tax act against
public utilities, passed by the 1925
legislature, is obviated by an or
der of the public service commis
sion extending the time when the
utilities may make their annual
itDorts from March to May 28
192b. May 28 is the date on
which all act? of the legislature
iiecome effective unless otherwise
provided in the act.
The constitutionality of the
emergency clause on the gross
earnings tax act was challenged
by several utilities on grounde that
a tax act cannot carry the emer
gency clause. The taxes must be
submitted to the commission at
the time the annual report Is
made.
The gross earnings tax act was
one of the revenue producing
measures passed by the legist
i ure.
The commission has already col
lected several thousand dollars in
prose earnings taxes from corpora
tions that did not challenge the
emergency provision.

born at Sarrebourg on July . MM
wa one of the military leaden,
ith a lifelong training as a sol
dier, who proved a bulwark of
strength for Prance in repelling the
German Invasion during the
world war.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
war. he was placed In command of
the Fifth Infantry division and
later of the 11th army corps.
Hla temporary rank of general
was made permanent just before
his brilliant attack In Verdun in
October 1916, which resulted In
the recapture from the Germans
of Fort Douamont.
Later he became involved In the
bitter controversy which followed
the costly victory on the Alsne In
the spring of 1917 and was depriv
ed of his command of the sixth
army.
A commission of Inquiry, how
ever, exonerated him from blame
and he was reinstated by Clemen
ceau. In July 1918. In conjunction
with General DeGoutte he carried
out the great counter offensive
against the German right flank
which brought the first of the final
series of allied successes.
After the war, he was made
member of the Ruhr car council
and was decorated with the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor.
Lot Angeles, Cal., May It. The
oilxup among the Mixes over
George Washington Kestereon t
application to change his name to
Art Mix for motion picture pur
poses developed Into such a mixed
up mixing of Mix arguments In
superior court yesterday that
Judge C. W. Guerln continued the
matter to July 10 for full hearln;
First Kesterson explained that he
already was known In films a
"Art MU" and received his mall I
that way. But Tom Mix, the mo
lion picture actor, entered a pro
test that to allow Keaterton to mix
with the Mixes legally, as a bonu
fide, court-sanctioned Mix would
only mix up the movie fan who
have been accustomed to seeing
Tom mix on the screen.
Then the tnal mix was added
to the mlxup when the protest of
Arthur J. Mix. who declared he
was the original Art Mix, christ
ened a such ind did not want to
be mixed up with an artitically
uaturalited Mixes. That was too
much mixing or Mixes for the
court, and Ju'y 14 was set down
to give all concerned a few weeks
In which to catch their breath.

that is rarely given in any commodity.
That the public appreciates this
