VOLUME VI NO TAX f Taxes Must Be Paid in Revenue Bill, Senate by Sim MINORITY CLAIM In addition to the injunction actions warrants for 50 or more people in which Jaw violations of a’! kinds aro charged were in the hands of Sheriff Joo L. Marquis and his forces at noon today. Culminating “a pertod of several weeks’ inv. Stigation the first of the veries of abatement acts were prepar- ed today. All county officials refused to state whether the list issued today included aD the places against which specific evidence of violations of the law have been obtained. It is rumor- ed, however, that nearly a score of places in additinn to those hit today \\\ are to feel the effect of the injunction abatement law. Included in the list of places which came under official ban today is the Dennie ©. Wyatt Post of the American Iegion. Officinls of the Legion dis- claim responsibility for th's post and state that the club in which the post js a side issue was ordered two weeks ago to suspend the use of the: name or to clean house. Among other business institutions which came under the effect of the injunction filed today included the Purbin rooms an institution said to be operated by Nick Reinecker, It is said that Hquor violations are responsible for the request to have the place abated for a period of a year, It is reported that the filing of the wholesale list of injunction actions and the issuance of over 50 warrants resulted from the joint efforts of Dr. J. F. O'Donnell, county health offi- cer, Sheriff Joe lu. Marquis and M. W. Purcell county attorney. ‘The injunction papers, each one of voluminous nature has occupied vir- tually the sole attention of these three county law enforcement agencies for over a week in actual preparation. ‘The evidence upon which the actions are based is said to have come from secret investigations launched under the direction and with the co-operation of the three forces for a period of over six weeks. Among the institutions which will de closed at least temporarily is in- cluded all of the larger rooming houses and hotels on the Sandbar district: Charges of permitting prostitution in defiance of state laws is said to be the charge on which a majority of the actions have been filed. In every in- stance in which an injunction has been filed asking abatement with prostitu- tion as the charge warrants are said to have been issned for every occu- pant o fthe bufldings effected, inctud- ing the madames and girl occupants of the houses. A partial list of the defendants and places effected by the injunctions is- sued today on prostitution complaints includes: Freda Akin. operator. N. Palmer, property owner, 302 West A street.

The people must not only pay the taxos on importa which go di- rectly into the treasury, but they must pay the resulting tnereese in prices of all the things they buy and consume. “Broadty speaking the views of the special interests who asked these taxes and got them and of the people who pay them differ widely in their praisement of this measures and its effect upon the national prosperity. “So far as the special Interests are concerned, it goes without saying the taxex imposed are both satisfying and comforting. “On the other hand, the people view this bill az a measure full of mischief and dangerous possibilities, Inader with -innumerabyé ‘burdens “for them and their posterity. “When the Fordney bill passed the house the general public regarded 4t as a monstrosity so grotesque and absurdthat they took it more as a joke than as a serious attempt at tariff revision. It did not excite in them any great degree of alarm be- cause they felt sure the senate would re-write it, and they expected from this body saner action in thelr be- half. “In these expectations the people tutve been grieviously disappointed. That disappointment bas grown as they studied the bill, first into sur- prise and then indignation at the au- dacity of the assault upon their pocketbooks and {s fi.aiy cr«minat- ing into a grim deternmmation .> re- sist to the utmost this uttempic> spcilation, “In these circumstances the people will be satisfied with nothing short of , full exposure through discussion of this attempted outrage inspired by the desire to placate the subsidized interests at their expense. No con- spiracy of silence, no threat of long sessions, no charges of filibuster or cloture must be allowed to smoki screen and divert the exposure of the iniquities which lurk in the tax-laden schedules and paragraphs of the 438 pages of the smended Fordney ba} an, act (if properly entitled) to mort-| gage the country and its resources to| the protected and monopolized indus-| tries.” | -In his report Senator Simmons un-| dertakes to answer the matn conten-| tions of the majority report and em-| bodies the main points made by him| in his recent adress in the senate| attacking the tariff measure.

With the contemptuous retort, “you're out o'luck,” Ballew, according to wit- nesses, reached for his gun, but Mc- Cormick, sensing Ballew’s apparent intention, flashed his own gun and fired from the hip. Five bullets en tered Ballew’s body. He died as he had predicted, with his bSots on. It was a new model .38 against an old-fashioned .45 and the latter “never popped a cap.” In fact, it never left its long holster under Ballew’s arm.
