ROYALTY WILL FLOCK TO ROME IN HOLY YEAR Great Pageantry to Mark Visits of Kings and Queens to Pope. BY THOMAS B MORGAN l nitfd Frr* Stiff Corre*tiondf nt VATICAN CITY. Jan. 24—Kings, querns and royal princes have begun arrangements for pilgrimages to the Vatic.n during the holy year proclaimed uy Pope Pius XI, it was learned at Vatican City today. The royal visits will be accompanied by the greatest pageantry. Now that railroad trains can be brought directly into Vatican state, the royal visitors may step out ot their private cars on Vaitcan soil, and be received immediately by emissaries of the potiff. The new railroad arrangements will mean abandonment of the old custom of driving through the city of Rome and visting the king before going to the Vatican. The kings and queens will visit the basilicas alter paying homage to the pope, however, and are expected to pass through Rome in full ceremonial, with all the pomp and display given royal arrivals and with troops lining the streets. Princes on Pilgrimage King Victor Emanuel of Italy and King Albert of the Belgians, with their queens, plan to visit the pope during the holy year, beginning Palm Sunday. Alfonso of Spain and Amanullah of Afghanistan are among the former monarchs expected at Vatican City. Ainnullah will not bring the beautiful Queen Souriya because they were married in the Moslem faith. Ex-queens will include Victoria of Spain, Amelie of Portugalm and Zita of Austria-Hungary. All the royal princes of Catholic countries will be included in the pilgrimages. Besides the royal personages, visits from heads of states are expected. It is no secret in Vatican City that a visit from President Le Brun of France would be highly appreciated. Where a state constitution does not permit the president to leave the country, it is expected that Catholic countries will send formal delegations to present official compliments to the pope. Cardinals to Pay Visit Members of the sacred college of cardinals, archbishops and bishops will come to the Vatican during the holy year, each heading a pilgrimage of from 50 to 1,000 persons. Each group will be received and addressed by the pope. The pontiff w'orks from morning until night during the heavy reception of pilgrims, such as occurred during the holy year of 1925. He begins receiving delegations in the forenoon, takes a light lunch and an afternoon walk, and again receives pilgrims from late afternoon until evening.

BEATING BOARD BILL NOT FELONY TO HOUSE Amendment Is Adopted Lowering Heavy Penalties of Measure. Beating a board bill or failure to pay a hotel or rooming house bill should not be a felony, according to action taken today in the house of representatives. The house adopted an amendment to a bill fixing penalty of fine not to exceed SSOO or up to imprisonment for a year, by which punishment will be a $25 fine or not more than ninety days imprisonment. Present law on the subject sets a fine of $25 or sixty days imprisonment. Only objection to the bill and amendment was by Representative H. H. Evans <Rep„ Newcastle), who branded it a means of using the law as a collection club. FALL IS FATAL TO FORMER CITY MAN Nelson D. Heckman, 70. Father of Fireman. Dead at Elletsville.

Sales Tax Is Creeping Malady of Great Peril Because It Is ‘Painless,’ Says Gore

Justifiable Only in Case of Dire Necessity, Is Oklahoman's Claim. fill Scrippa-ffovard t/ewnDancr Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The sales tax is diagnosed by Senator Thomas P. Gore as a ‘ creeping malady." It spreads its poison through the system of tne victim—the body politic—and the victim continues to suffer because he knows not the cause of nis affliction, nor how to shake it off, according to Senator Gore. The blind Oklahoma senator, who relishes heavy tornes on government and economies as "light reading,’ has at his fingertips instances in history to prove the creeping tendencies of the sales tax. "Many vears ago in Spain they had a sales tax," he recounted. “It crept up and up until it reached 14 per cent—until it almost locked the wheels of trade. C reeps and It Multiplies “Not only does it creep. It also multiplies. In France, prior to the revolution, from the grapes on the vine to the wine on the table, there were twenty-eight taxes. "Some people say, ‘What of it? Wine Ls a luxury. Wine is an intoxicant. Make it pay!’ “Well, then, consider what happened in Mexico before Diaz came along and abolished it. From the wheat in the field to the bread on the table, there were thirty-two taxes. “We need not go to other lands for horrible examples. It was only a few years ago that state legislatures first envisaged gasoline as a source of revenue. They started out with a tax of 1 cent a gallon. Then 2 cents. Then 3 cents. Then 4 cents. Then 5 cents. Then, in some states, 6 cents, and then 7 cents.

Cites Gasoline Tax Gains Then along came the federal government to place “the rose leaf on the brimming bumper.” Congress, in the last session, added on a 1ccnt federal tax. It is proving lucrative; it is raising $137,000,000 a year. And, already, the word is quietly going around that the thing for congress to do is to raise the tax to 2 cents. “But get this: it is important. We already have reached the point of diminishing returns. Consumption of gasoline increased steadily through all the years. Then, in 1931, consumption dropped 1 per cent, and in 1932, 7 per cent. The people are avoiding the tax by refusing to buy the commodity. And the bootlegging of gasoline has become common.” Another instance cited by Gore is the sales tax on unheard of before the Civil war. The cigaret fax at first was 1 cent a package. Now it is 6 cents. “Painless and Dangerous” “I am told,” said the senator, “that the farmer gets one-tenth of a cent for the tobacco that goes into a 15-cent package of cigarets.” “The sales tax,” said Gore, “ is a ‘painless’ tax. And that is why it is a dangerous tax. It operates like creeping paresis, like monoxide gas. The taxpayer is not conscious that he is paying. He doesn’t see the tax added on to the price of the goods he buys. He only feels his burden growing heavier and heavier. He groans and bears it. “That is not true of our present nuisance taxes. The fact that they are a ‘nuisance’ is their only virtue. The people who pay them know that they pay. And they organize to resist and get rid of them. Taxes Are Called Curse “That is as it should be. Taxes should be painful. “Taxes are a curse. Trade is a blessing. And a sales tax is a tax on trade. A tariff also is a tax on trade. Compared to the tariff, the sales tax has two things in its favor: First, it yields revenue. Second, the government gets all, or at least .nearly all, the consumer Is penalized. “But a sales tax Is fundamentally wrong. It is a tax on consumption. The taxpayer pays according to his needs, and without regard to his ability to pay. ‘ A sales tax is justifiable only in case of uncompromising necessity.” Boy Is Killed by Auto R’i l vital f’rrsx BLOOMINGTON.

Groundhog to ‘Stay Hid’ Woodchuck Never Comes Out of His Den as Early as February 2, Scientists Say.

P,u Science Sen ice WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Whether the sun shines on Candlemas day, Feb. 2. or stays hidden behind the clouds, the groundhog will not see his shadow. He will not see it because he will be snugly asleep in his burrow% with no notion of emerging for at least another month. So say the scientists of the United State biological survey, who business it is to know' about the lives and habits of all the little and big animals in Uncle Sam's vast zoo.

The groundhog, or woodchuck, as he also is known, hibernates until late February or early March. The only region where he ever has been seen out of his burrow earlier than that is the Carolinas, and even there the earliest recorded date is Feb. 7. The groundhog as a weather prophet seems to have inherited a job held by an entirely different animal in Europe. European peoples have the superstition that if the hedgehog sees his shadow on Candlemas day the winter will continue for another six weeks. When Europeans came to this country, they presumably fixed the responsibility on the American groundhog, in the absence of their old familiar friend, the hedgehog. Both groundhog and hedgehog are called quite out of their true natures by their names. The groundhog is a rodent, related to rats, rabbits and squirrels, and the hedgehog, though prickly-armored like a porcupine, is a member of the shrew family. Os course, neither groundhog nor hedgehog ever asked for the weather-

Since the seasons roll along pretty uniformly over the whole country, it obviously is impossible to predict their staying or going by local conditions of a day. One could predict the coming weather about as reliably by tossing a coin or rolling a pair of dice.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League DON'T let picture cards trick you into losing your contract. Sometimes you must use the same care in discarding a jack or a queen as you do a deuce. Unblocking is one of bridge's most important plays. Be careful not to block your partner's suit, and. when playing a hand similar to the following, don't get yourself blocked in the wrong hand.

The Bidding South opened the bidding with one heart. West overcalled with two clubs. North bid two hearts and South jumped to four hearts. The Play West opened with the king of clubs, followed by the queen. East played first the eight of clubs and then the nine, showing that he still held another club. West now shifted to the jack of spades, leading through dummy’s strength. East won the trick with the king and returned the jack of clubs, which the declarer trumped with the five of hearts. The queen of spades was next cashed. Declarer then cashed his ace and king of hearts, winning the third heart trick in dummy with the queen. His next play was the ace of spades from dummy. Declarer holds the ace, queen, jack and three of diamonds and the jack of trump. What would you discard on the ace of spades? If you are careless and discard the three of diamonds, your contract will be defeated.

You must unblock and play the jack of diamonds, so that when you lead the ten of diamonds and East refuses to cover you will be able to play the three of diamonds and still keep the lead in dummy. Now you can lead another diamond and successfully take the second finesse', which will give you your game. If you carelessly had discarded your three of diamonds on the ace of spades then when you led the ten of diamnds from dummy you would have been forced to overtake in your own hand with the jack, and East would have made his king of diamonds.

DRYS SEE HOPE TO BEAT BEER BILL IN SENATE Important New Provisions in Measure Reported by Judiciary Committee. BY MARSHALL McNEIL Timn StfT Writer WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 —Drys will find in the senate beer bill two new important provisions that will help their fight against it. and may permit them to defeat it. many believed today. The house bill legalized beer containing 3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight, and this was approved as a non-intoxicating beverage. The senate judiciary committee, however, has just reported out its beer bill which legalizes beer containing 3.05 per cent of alcohol by weight. The reduction of alcoholic content by 15 one-hundredths of 1 per cent apparently was made to insure that the beverage would be non-intoxicating. But then, on motions of Senator William Borah (Rep.. Idaho', a dry, and Senator C. C. Dill < Dera. Wash.), never a militant wet. two new provisions have been inserted in the measure. One says that the 3.05 per cent beverages legalized can not be either sold or given to minors; the other prohibits the advertisement of these legalized beverages by radio. With these measures in the bill, drys successfully might argue that if the beverages legalized can not be sold or given to minors, they must be intoxicating: and if fhey can not be advertised over the radio in dry states, again, they must be intoxicating. Anri they will further contend that the eighteenth amendment prohibits intoxicating beverages. the beverages legalized in the senate bill. The beer bill goes now to the finance committee. That group is to consider only the revenue-producing qualities of beer and tl)e rate of tax. Aluminum foil s being used to insulate house walls.
