Rose Kessler, New York City: There definitely is away by which stars can retaliate for those false ! rumors of their deaths. A civil ac- • tion for damages. The difficulty lies in tracing the malicious gossip to its source. The two children of Harry Carey j took over full charge this year of the cattle-raising activities of the star. They handled the spring i drive, which included loading, shipping and price bargaining. And they made a good job of it. Carey’s son, Dobie, is 19 and his daughter. Cappie, 13.

I ° TAX EVASION (CONTINTTBO FHOM P»nw ANUty public inquiry would be sought with persons allegedly employing tax avoidance devices and their attorneys summoned for testimony. Efforts at evasion of tax liability have been ‘‘so widespread and so amazing both in their boldness and their ingenuity,’’ he said, “that further action without delay seems imperative.” The president addressed a special message to congress which was read while he still was in Hyde Park. Methods of tax evasion are many, he said, but all are alike in that they result in “shifting the tax load to the shoulders of others less able to pay.” Mr. Roosevelt urged congress to grant the treasury full power to summon witnesses and compel their testimony in an investiga tion of tax evasions estimated to have cost the government between $200,000,000 and $400,000,000 in revenue this fiscal year. He did not mention the possibility of a

. congressional committee aiding in i the proposed inquiry. . Mr. Roosevelt quoted the late , supreme court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes’ definition of taxes ■ as “what we pay for civilized ; society.” ’ “Too nrany individuals.” the president said, “want the civiliza- ’ tion at a discount.” The president sought to forestall i an indicated attempt in certain congressional circles to expand ’ consideration of anti-tax evasion | legislation to include revision of J the entire tax structure. “It seems to me,” Mr. Roosevelt ' said, “that the first duty of the congress is to empower the gov- - eminent to stop these evil practices, and that legislation to this end should not be confused with legislation to revise tax ached- ( ules.” ' He pointed out that he had al- , ready suggested to congress that , there should be no new taxes or rate changes at the present ses- ' slon but left a hint that revision of the revenue laws might be ’ undertaken at the next session. “I have indicated to the congress,” he said, “that the treasury j will be prepared by next November to present to the appropriate committees information on the basis of which the congress may, j ’ if it chooses, undertake revisions of the tax structure.” The president included in bis message ,a letter from secretary of the treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., which cited the principal types of tax avoidance and evasion disclosed in a preliminary study of income tax returns for the calendar year 1936. The evasion devices enumerated by Morgenthau included: 1. Formation of personal holding corporations in nearby foreign countries and islands; 2. Creation of closely-held foreign Insurance companies; 3. Formation of domestic personal holding companies, incorporation of yachts and country estates; 4. Artificial deductions for interest and losses on loans to taxpayers by their personal holding companies or family trusts; 5. Creation of multiple trusts for relvtives and dependents; 6. Formation of husband and wife or father and children partI

nerships; 7. Setting up of taxfree pension trusts of which the only beneficiaries are small groups of officers and directors in the high income brackets. In addition, Morgenthau set forth three major instances in which the law Itself permits individuals and corporations to avoid their full share of the tax burden. These included: 1. Percentage depletion of such properties as oil wells and mines; husband and wife in states hav2. Division of income between ing community property laws; 3. Elimination of the requirement that a non-resident alien must file an income tax return. o Missionary Society Plans Observance The woman’s missionary society iof the Evangelical and Reformed church of Magley will sponsor a service of appreciation commemorating the Sixtieth anniversary, Wednesday evening at 8 o’clock.
