Landon’s remark yesterday that "the line ’ of demarcation between fealty of party and loyalty to country is something for each citizen to determine for himself.” "At least five distinguished and determined citizens . . . apparently have made the choice between party and country as millions of others will do before tne general election in November.” Hamilton said, "and tonight we honor them for the high ideals that prompted [this action on their part.” In sketching the Republican plan of attack, he emphasized that not a little of the campaign will be devoted to pointing out “some fallacies and failures of the Roosevelt administration." o EXPECT STRONG !

Signs Tax Bill Washington, June 23— (U.R) — President Roosevelt today signed the $800,000,000 tax bill with its levies on undivided corporation profits, which provided one of the major controversies during the closing days of congress. Mr. Roosevelt approved a measure embodying practically all of the provisions requested by the administration. Conservative Democrats combined with Republicans in the senate to write out of the bill the heavy taxes on . earnings which corporations did 1 not pass on to stockholders. But when the measure came out of conference, the house, where ' the administration forces never ; had lost control, was the winner. Mr. Roosevelt also put his O K on the interior department appropriation measure today.

VERDICT GIVEN HERE REVERSED Poneto Bank Stockholders Demurrer Sustained At Bluffton Bluffton. June 23.—Demurrers of defendant* in the 13-year-old action of Lee Kimmel of Poneto against directors of the defunct I Hank of Poneto were sustained Monday in Wells circuit court by Judge J. F. Decker. Kimmel sought to collect $25,000 judgment . awarded him in a previous suit for damages, the judgment being given him by an Adams county jury. In substance, he held that the complaint did not constitute sufficient cause of action against the stockholders as individuals as to liability, because when Kimmel tiled his complaint in the first case in 1923 on which a jury in the Adams circuit court returned a verdict on which judgment of $25,000 was entered, the stockholders were not named personally as defendants and were not served with process or summons and were not brought into court personally to . answer to the complaint, and therefore had not been given their “day : in court.” Attorneys for the plaintiff contended that stockholders, as partners in a private bank, were individually and collectively responsible in full for liabilities of the private bank, even though they were not specifically named as defendants. State statutes bearing on the | point in controversy were quoted with explanations of due weight given the question where there might appear to be conflicts. The $25,000 judgment was entered at Decatur, on February 10, 1926, with interest at 6 per cent. o King Edward VIII Observes Birthday London, June 23. — <U.R)King I Edward VIII, breaker of many ’ i royal precedents during his five months on the throne, celebrated his 42nd birthday in accordance 1 with tradition today.
