We are glad of the decision of j Rev. Edgar P. Schmidt, pastor of i Zion Lutheran Church here that < he and his family will remain in 1 Decatur following his call to a 1 California Lutheran church. Rev. I Schmidt has many friends in the i Decatur area who are happy for i his decision. He has the confi- i dence and respect of all who 1 know him and his post would be i a hard one to fill. We sincerely i hope that the popular Preacher i will continue at his present post l for the balance of his active ca- I reer. 1 ——o——o—— i Nobody likes to pay taxes—a 1 statement which amounts to a ' cliche to end all cliches. Ever 1 since the first tax system was ’ devised, way back in the mists I of history, people have grumbled ' against the burden. Taxation has 1 been a root cause of wars and ' revolutions and of all manner of < other upheavals. In this country 1 today, sentiment on the tax prob- 1 lem seems to be passing the : grumbling state. There is a grow- ' Ing feeling, both in and out of 1 governmental circles, that some- 1 thing drastic must soon be done. The first and foremost desire, of 1 course, is to reduce the extent of the burden — to find ways whereby the government will take less of our- earnings and we may keep more for ourselves. Then, la addition to this, there is • strongly-backed belief that the tax system is unjust in many particulars, is unnecessarily complex, and needs a basic overhauling. Like Topsy, this system “just grew” over a period of many years. Students are generally convinced that it is full of needless inequalities and confusions. A number of specific proposals fo<_ tax reform are now current One is complete and total repeal of the federal income tax law. This was suggested some time ago by T. Coleman Andrews, once Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and it was his principal plank when he ran for President op a third-party ticket last year. A bill for achieving this end, via constitutional amendment has been ofered in Congress. However, abandonment of the income tax is an extremely remote prosi

pect now. The proposal which seems to offer the beat chance of concrete action in the field of tax reform is found in a bill introduced by Representative Sadlak of Connecticut. He has made a thorough study of the matter, and is convinced that income tax rates can be greatly reduced and that increased federal income resulting from stimulated economic activity would more than make up for the losses, and would bring the government all the revenues it requires. Under the terms of the Sadlak bill, the existing income tax base rate of 20 percent would be reduced to 15 percent. The progressive rates applying to the higher brackets would also be cut. The ultimate goal is to reduce both the top individual income tax and the corporation tax rate to a maximum of 42 percent, as against the present 91 percent and 52 percent rates. The reform would take place gradually, over a period of five years, with the proviso that the time could be extended to nine years if that were necessary to prevent an unbalanced budget. Significantly, 60 percent of the tax relief resulting from adoption of the Sadlak plan would accrue to people with taxable incomes of $6,000 a year or less. Another important point deserves attention here. Contrary to the com-monly-held opinion, very high tax rates are not big revenue producers for government. Henry Hazlitt tells this story in a recent Newsweek article. Using figures pro. duced by a Tax Foundation study, he shows that if the present rate structure had a maximum oLSO percent, as against the 91 percent, the government would still obtain 98 percent of the revenue at 1955 rates, and the loss in revenue would be only $734 million. On top of that, he writes, ‘Time and again, when the highest rates were reduced, relative revenues from the high-income brackets rose.” He cites the 20’s Ms proof, when the top surtax rates were heavily cut. “Despite this reduction,” be says, "the share of the total income tax paid by the high-income bracket more than doubled—from 30 percent in 1920 to 65 percent in 1929.”

CHAPTER 31 SERGEANT FRANK SELLERS insisted on stopping at San Bernardino. "There’s protocol In this thing,” he said. "We want a sheriff. You don’t think it’s in Riverside County?” “San Bernardino,’* I told him. “Okay, we want a deputy sheriff. Protocol has to be observed." He stopped the car, ran up the steps to the courthouse. When he came down, he had a deputy sheriff with him. He didn't bother to introduce us. The two officers sat in the front seat. I sat in back with Wanda Warren. We drove through Banning. Sellers said, "Tell me which way to go to get to the house.” I gave him directions and he came to a stop in front of the house. "Which neighbor heard the commotion ?” I pointed to the house. Sellers turned to the deputy sheriff, raised his eyebrows queatloningly. The deputy nodded. Sellers said, “Wait there with the girl. Now, listen, Lam, I don’t want any funny stuff. I want that girl there when 1 get back, and I don’t want her out of the car In the meantime. Do you get it?" I nodded. 7 The two officers got out and went up to the house. “AU right, Wanda,” I said. "Suppose you start by teUing me about Yvonne Clymer.” "She’s one of us models,” she said. "Wells knew her. Later they started living together.” “Then what?” "Then I think they started fighting. They got along fine while she was just a model, but when he tried to make a housewife out of her, it didn’t click.” "Where Is she now, Wanda?” Wanda hastily averted her eyes. "I wish I knew." "What did Wells teU you?" "At first he didn’t tell me anything. He had me come up here in a rush. He told me I was to pose m his wife.” “Did he say why?" “Yes. It was a long story, Donald. It concerned a Mexican divorce. He said that he was married. I already knew that from what Yvonne had told me. He said his wife was a dog in the 1 manger, wouldn’t give him his freedom, and yet she wouldn’t come back and live with him. He i said she was keeping him separated from his children and poisoning their minds against him. v . "He sent papers down to Mexi- s co and got a divorce. It was .one of those paper divorces that I guess aren't worth anything, but

. . . well, I suppose it was better than nothing.” “That still doesn’t explain why he wanted you to pose as his wife.” “Go on. What happened?" "So then he and Yvonne started living together.” "He thought that his first wife was going to make trouble. I think he thought that some papers were going to be served on him and on Yvonne. I gathered that I was to pretend to be Yvonne and a process server was going to serve papers on me. Then, at the proper time, he would show that the process server had made a mistake.” “That was what he told you?” “In effect, yes." “And where was Yvonne?" “He said she was lying low, keeping under cover.” “You didn't ask any questions ?’’ “You don’t know Drury Wells very well, Donald. You don't ask him questions—not if you’re a girl whose living is dependent on his whim." "Is your living dependent on his whim?” “In away, yes. He’s partowner of the agency." “But how did he expect you would get by with the neighbors?" “Don’t you see, Donald, they’d only just moved in here. They’d been here just one day. Yvonne hadn’t actually met any ot the neighbors. They’d seen her but that was all Yvonne and I look a good deal alike. We both have the same build, the same complexion, the same color hair. I can wear her clothes. She can wear mine. “So I moved out here and pretended I was his wife, and almost at once this thing broke in the newspapers. Drury didn’t know what to do, but he telephoned Yvonne, and Yvonne told him to go right ahead and keep up the pretense." - “He telephoned Yvonne?" — She nodded. “You’re sure? Did you hear the conversation?* "Yes.” "Did you talk with Yvonne?" "No, but I heard him talking with her.” "What day was this?" "That was the first day after ' I started posing as his wife.” ’The conversation was over the phone there at the house?" : "Yes.” "What kind of a conversation ' was it? Friendly? Or—” 1 "Oh, it was very friendly." “And where is Yvonne now?" "Still under cover." "You and Wells left here rather suddenly, didn’t you?" "Why?” "He wanted to confuse the peo-

We are expecting to entertain a number of friends in our new home. How should we acknowledge any compliments they may give us on our house? A. “Thank you” is always a good acknowledgment to any compliment. And, of course, you can vary this with, 'T'm very glad you like lt,‘“ or, “We’re very happy with it.” Q For how long are the bread and butter plates left on the dinner tabic? A. Until it is time to serve the dessert.

pie who were trying to serve the papers.” "Look here, Wanda," I said, "do you believe that story?” * "1... I did at the time.” "And now?” I asked. “Now 1...1 don't know. There was something about the way he had me go away after we got to the Frostmore Road house and then come back, and then I read in the paper about his filing suit against you and your partner. I’m afraid it’s a big swindle of some sort.” "And If it is?” “Then I’m mixed up in it and I don’t want to be mixed up in it.” — I said, "Wanda, look at me.” She turned her eyes and looked at me. Suddenly she made them soft and affectionate. “I like you, Donald,” she said seductively. "You’ve practiced that so you’ve got it down damned near perfect,” I told her. "Don’t try it. There isn’t time right now. Has it ever occurred to you it may be a murder?” She didn’t have time to answer that question, but I didn't need an answer. The door of the house opened, and Sellers came walking slowly toward the car. He jerked the car door open. "Come on in,” he said to us. “Me?” Wanda asked, raising her penciled eyebrows in an exaggerated gesture of surprise. "Both of you,” Sellers said. We followed him up to the house. Sellers pushed the door open as though he *lived there, and said, "Come on in.” We followed him into the parlor. The Boswells were sitting there with the San Bernardino deputy and looking mighty uncomfortable. "Is this the girl?” Sellers uskcd. "Ya, ya! That’s the girl!” Amanda Boswell said. "Look her over carefully," Sellers said, turning to Oscar Boswell. Boswell nodded an ejnphatic assent. Sellers frowned, pulled a cigar cut of his pocket, pushed it into his face, bit down on it savagely and said to me, "Now you’ve really done it, pint-size.” I didn’t say anything. Sellers and the San Bernardino deputy exchanged glances. Sellers abruptly turned around, said, "Okay, that’s all we need from you folks. Thanks.” He jerked his head at us, and said, "Come on.* "Sellers recoiled from the black interior that had opened np. ‘This is it,’ I told him.”— A strange turn of events in the Wells case takes place tomorrow. Don’t miss this week's final chapters of this entertaining mystery.
