Name of Doug, Jr., Is Chief Draw at Palace

By WALTER I). HICKMAN It is apparent that the chief drawing can] on the week-end hill at the Palace is Doug Fairbanks, Jr., in “Stephen Steps Out,” a movie. It is an admitted fact that real juvenile leading men on the screen are few and far between. Gareth Hughes is not seen as frequently as he once was in local houses. Wesley Barry is just stepping from OUCH! RHEUMATISM! RUB THE PAIN All Stop drugging! Rub soothing, penetrating St. Jacob's Oil right into your sore, stiff, aching joints, and relief comes instant*s a h arm l ess rheu,\e ’I matism liniment which never disapjEpW' points and cannot Get a 35 cent bot- .

That Hang-on Cough Must Go Home Made Cough Mixture Best of All for the Cough That Sticks. Make It Yourself in Two Minutes The coughing season is on and every home should have a supply of the best cough remedy to be had, and as you can make this supremely excellent cough mixture yourself why pay high prices for the common kind. Get from any druggist one ounce of Parmint (double strength)—to this add a little granulated sugar and enough water to make one half pint—that's all there is to it. Then when any member of the family starts coughing or catches cold in chest or head, or has acute catarrh, you are prepared as you should be. And the children love to take it. With speed almost beyond belief this home made cough mixture stops the toughest hang-on cough, and all because in it there is a substance (too costly for ordinary cough syrups) that immediately covers the membrane like a soothing, healing poultice, and blessed relief comes at once. And you should also hear in mind that any remedy that overcomes catarrh, partially or wholly, is bound to be of benefit to those who are troubled with head noises and catarrhal deafness. Get Parmint and get better.—Advertisement.

Illinois Central System Shows Why Railroads Are Interested in Tax Revision "' ' " Proposals for reductions and readjustments of federal tax levies have been made, hile there may be differences of opinion as to method, there can be no doubt about the wisdom of lightening and equalizing this burden of governmental expense which is felt by every person in the country. This tax burden is borne by those who often do not realize that they pay taxes at all. It has been estimated that one dollar out of every six spent by consumers goes for taxes —federal, state, county and municipal. Taxes, because they enter into the cost of production, are in the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the rent we pay. Every business man who has any controll over his selling prices adds his taxes to his operating costs, then not infrequently adds a little more to make it even money and passes the total on to his patrons. Taxes upon buildings are paid in the end by rents. Taxes paid by manufacturers and distributors are passed on to the consumer. As tax burdens increase the cost of living they create a demand for increased wages, and*increased wages in turn are reflected in higher prices paid by every one. Taxes are a part of the cost of conducting every form of business, and they inevitably form a part of the prices established for the goods or services produced in every field of productive industry. Regardless of who pays the taxes in the first instance, in the end they are paid by farmers, business men, mechanics, laborers and all other classes of our population. Indirect taxes are paid by more persons than direct taxes. Among those who pay indirect taxes are the patrons of the railroads. Taxes the railroads pay are a part of the cost of supplying transportation service and must be borne by the public in freight and passenger rates. Railway taxes in 1923 amounted to $330,000,000, 5.2 per cent of their gross earnings, or almost exactly $3 for every man, woman and child in the United States. But the $330,000,000 paid by the railroads in 1923 for taxes represented only their direct taxes. Indirect taxes enter into the costs of all materials and supplies used by the railroads in their operation and are necessarily passed on to their patrons. There are now extant more than $12,000,000,000 of tax-exempt securities. Aside from the fact that such securities allow part of our population to evade income taxation, the attractiveness of such investment has caused railway investment to appear unattractive by comparison. To the extent that the ready sale of tax-exempt securities encourages civic extravagance, it increases taxation in general and tends to saddle undue burdens upon the public. To the extent that such sale helps to keep capital out of the it prevents the railroads from installing the modern facilities that increase efficiency and make possible reductions of rates. A way must be found to change the channel of investment of owners of large incomes from tax-exempt securities into productive enterprises where the investors assume some of the risks. If it is necessary to lowrnr substantially the surtaxes of those who have large incomes in order to encompass this change, it is in the interest of all of us to lower them. Let us not make the mistake of injuring all classes of our people by trying to punish one class. • v Our purpose in making this statement is to point out to our patrons that taxes are reflected in the rates which they pay for transportation and to urge them to help themselves and also help us by putting forth every proper effort to bring about a reduction in taxes. We believe that few persons realize the extent to which freight and passenger rates are affected by direct and indirect taxation. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. 0. H.

nice, youthful smile, but he hasn’t mastered the trick of how to use his hands and feet. And yet, the natural actions of this lad comes as a blessing from the flood of over-developed movie acting. Doug's picture will be the chief item of conversation on the current bill at the Palace. Swain's Friendly Enemies is an act in which cats and trained rats are the actors. This act is not new to local vaudeville. Larry Comer seems content to sing songs of the day, the jazz stuff. “The Family Ford,” after service on
