~ COMPROMISE ON TAX PROGRAM IS AGREED TO IN CONFERENCE Final Action Being Delayed, However, Until Treasury Offers Figures Washington, June 18.— (4) — With aew revenue estimates on a com- promise tax program not yet prepared by the treasury, senate-house con- ferees were unable Thursday to reach & final agreement on the tax bill, They said, however, they expected to seal a tentative understanding on the vital measure Thursday after- noon or night. Exact details of the agreement were withheld pending a final drawing up ‘Thursday of a compromise in a sen- ate-house conference, but it was re- tively agreed on the most controver- sial angle of the proposed revenue bill. This was the question of taxing un- distributed earnings of corporations. The tentative agreement, reached in @ session late Wednesday night. was hailed as the end of the long dead- lock between legislators of the two houses, which had passed markedly different bills in response to Presi- dent Roosevelt's demand for tax leg- islation. Both Sides Must Ratify Chairman Doughton (Dem.-N.C.) of the house conferees expressed con- fidence that by Thursday night “we shall be able to turn the bill over to the drafting service.” After it is drawn, it must be ratified by both chambers. It was known it was reached after discussion of a new compromise pro- posal including: A graduated normal tax on corpor- ate ineome, the levy ranging from 8 to 15 per cent. A levy ranging from 6 or 7 per cent to 27 per cent on undistributed cor- poration income. It was revealed definitely by con- ferees that the house delegation had yielded to the senate and agreed to impose a normal tax on net corporate | income. Previously, the house had called for repeal of the present nor- per cent, and the substitution of a! new graduated levy on net income, | ranging up to 42'; per cent and de-| pending on the percentage of income withheld from distribution to stock- holders. Resembles House Bill The senate had voted only a 7 per cent tax on undistributed profits, while calling for a normal levy of 15% to 18 per cent on net corporate in- come. The latest compromise made public, with its graduated tax of 6 or 7 per cent to 27 per cent on undistributed Profits, was closer to the house bill | than most recent compromise pro-| posals. | It also would retain considerable of | the Roosevelt administration's tax} Philosophy, which holds that undis- | tributed profits should be taxed stiffly | enough to force a larger distribution to stockholders, who would then pay normal individual income taxes, as well as surtaxes. At present, divi- * dends are exempt from normal taxes. | It was assumed that any compro- mise which comes out of the state house conference would call for the imposition of this normal individual income tax of 4 per cent on dividends, because both chambers have approved such a move. The compromise laid before the conferees for discussion Thursday! night would lay a comparatively light | vealed that the conferees had tenta-/ mal tax, now ranging from 121 to 15) | | Gov. Alf M.

At least 2,000 people. attended the day’s festivities, open- ing with a mass celebrated by the jubilarian. There was a banquet at noon, Sunday marked the 25th anniver- sary of the first mass of the Mandan priest. At the expressed wish of Rev. Hildebrand, no public celebration of the anniversary was held. Recognition of the event was given by the fact that the entire parish approached the sacraments during the various masses Sunday, at which he expressed his appreciation to the .| parishioners for their response to his spiritual guidance. Rev. Hildebrand received many gifts from the societies under his jurisdiction and from in- dividuals. Rev. Hildebrand was ordained June 13, 1911, at St. John’s abbey, College- Immediately afterward, he was assigned as assistant pastor to the late Rev.

BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1936 PROTECTION 70 ALL IN LEGION INQUIRY Acts to Guard Informants Fol- lowing Beating of Woman in Detroit Home Detroit, June 18—()—Authorities promised protection Thursday to in- formants who have assisted in round- ing up two score suspected members of the Black Legion, while they in- vestigated the beating of a woman as a possible act of reprisal by the terrorists. The victim of the beating was Mrs. Dorothy Guthrie, 33, who told police two weeks ago that her husband, William H. Guthrie, printed at their jhome the racial, religious, and anti- ‘Communistic literature the Black Le- gion circulated. Another Black Legion informant, James Stewart, of Ecorse, requested and received a police guard after telling of a mysterious visit by three strangers to his home during the early morning hours. 41 Suspects Held The number of suspected night Tiders in custody in Michigan stood at 41 Thursday with the detention of William Moore in connection with what Police Inspector John I. Navaree said “may be another Black Legion homicide.” Inspector Navaree declined to dis- cuss the case. There were reports that the slaying under investigation was that ‘of John L. Bielak, an em- ploye of the Hudson Motor Car com- pany and member of the United Automobile Workers, who was shot to death near Monroe, Mich., March 15, Of the men in custody, 38 have been held for trial on charges rang- ing from flogging to murder. Fifteen of them were bound to cir- cuit court Wednesday afternoon at the conclusion of examinations on charges of conspiring to kill Arthur L. Kingsley, newspaper publisher in suburban Highland Park, and William W. Voisine, village president of Ecorse. Waylaid in Apartment Mrs. Guthrie said she did not see the face of the man who waylaid her in her apartment Wednesday after- noon, bound and gagged her with strips of black cloth—resembling ma- terial torn from robes of the right riders—and beat and kicked her. Police Inspector John A. Hoffman said the woman's husband would be detained “until this whole matter has been cleared up,” although Guthrie protested that “if I knew who did it I would tell you.” An assistant prosecuter said the Guthries' nine-year-old daughter, Shirley, told him her parents had quarreled recently. The manager of the apartment house where they lived said Mrs. Guthrie had told him she “talked too much” about his con- nection with the Black Legion.
