That the schoo) system is not a dead issue ‘in Chicago was proven by a mass meet- ing called by the West Side Parents’ League at LeMoyne St.) The basement of the’ church was packed with angry parents whe re- sent being called “outsiders” and a “mob”, when the question of the wel- fare of the school children is being} ecnsidered. John English, member of the board of education, stated that hé did not believe in the junior high schools, nor the platoon, but he is in the minority on the school board. He also stated cases of tax dodging by big business. He urged the parents to take more interest in the school} systegn. The officers of the N. W. S, Par- ents’ League reported that after a fight that lasted for over a year the board of education is still “consider- ing” the question of building addi- tional nine class rooms to the Lowell school, when according to the esti- mation of the Parents’ League at least fifteen more rooms are needed./ The school has at present over 400 more children than there are seats and it is a growing neighborhood. The other schools in the neighbor-} hood, the Cameron, and the Stowe,! are also overcrowded. | The N. W. S. Parents’ League in- tends to put up a fight for more school rooms, against the platoon sys-| tem and against junior high schools.

The | origin of the government's $30,000,- | 600 tax assessment against the min- | ority stockholders of the Ford Motor company was revealed today to have | been in the famous fight over Sena- tor Truman H. Newberry’s admission | to the United States Senate. | David H. Blair, commtissioner of in- | ternal revenue, on the stand today | before the’ U. S. Board of Tax Ap- peals, révealed that it was a letter | from Sehator James E. Watson (R) of Indiana, which started the treasury to investigating the original treasury | valuation of the Ford company stock. | Angry at Ford. t Senator Watson wrote Commis- sioner Blair a letter in 1922, enclos- ing # memorandum questioning the | treasury’s valuation of the Ford| stock. It was at this time that. the | Newberry fight was at its height in the senate. Senator Watson was | one of the republican leaders who} fought for the seating of Newberry. Senator James Couzens (R) of Mich., was appointed to succeed New- berry in November of 1922, and later | the treasury assessed against him ap- ' proximately $11,000,000 in excess | taxes. | Commissioner Blair testified that | he had received a letter and memo- | randum questioning the proper valu-| ation of Ford stock and said he re-! ferred it to.a deputy commissioner | for investigation. } Blair said that he informed Watson | that “he would trace the matter this | time through entirely different chan- | nels.” } The defense contended that Blair’s | statement showed the Bureau of In-| ternal Revenue had previously inves- | tigated the Roper valuation of $9,-| 439 per share for Ford stock in 1913. | Blair testified that an anonymous! letter was sent to the department in! 1921 declaring that “Ford owed a lot | of tax.” He said the letter was dis- | missed lightly because it was “quite | evident that Ford didn’t owe tax on the stock transaction.” Deputy Commisioner Nash signed the $10,909,000 assessment against Couzens on March 11, and smaller as- sessments *against other minority stockholders within the next two days, according to his own testimony. “I was informed by investigators that the Statue of Limitations would expire Mart 13) 1925,” Nash said. “The expiration of the time was the only ‘jeopardy’ involved.” The correspondence between intern- al revenue bureau officials relating to the investigations of the Ford tax action, beginning im 1922, were in- troduced in evidence after a strong protest from the government. Defense Has Innings. One letter in September, 1922, from M. T. Johnson, chairman of the Com- mittee on Tax Appeals and Review, to Cary A. Mapes, solicitor of internal revenue, declared «that in his judg- ment the basis for fixing the original $9,489 valuation as of March 1, 1913, was sound. Mapes approved the re- port. It was contended that Mapes’ decision was reached after several investigations by the government. Counsél for the taxpayers said that “after repeated approvals and con- firmations of the proper valuation in 1921 and 1922, the Bureau of Internal Revenue made a settlement in 1923 of Senator Couzens’ tax liability.
