BEFORE CITY COUNCIL Sale of whisky by the drink in Tipton is a live issue as it is understood a petition will be presented to the city council next Wednesday asking the council to pass an ordinance that would permit licenses for sale by the drink to be issued by the state. The state law provides that in cities of under 5,000 population. the city council must pass an ordinlance permitting sale of whisky by the drink before the state liquor commission can issue such licenses. If the city council does not act, such licenses can not be issued. Several weeks ago a petition was presented to the city council asking that the liquor ordinance not be passed.

This petition was sponsored by several of the Tipton churches. The wets have prepared several petitions and these are being signed but just how numerous are the signers, is not known. In anticipation of an effort to be made by the wets to secure the liquor ordinance, Rev. John Ward Rose, pastor of the Kemp Methodist church, is leading a fight against the movement. Following he sets out arguments against the ordinance: Should whisky be sold by the drink? Let it first of all be remembered that Tipton county has for a number.

of years registered its opinion as opposed to strong drink. The church membership recently voiced the same dry opin-Jof ion in a petition to the city council when they declared: "We are opposed to the sale of hard liqnor in Tipton." Regardless of what action 18 taken by the city council, some drug stores will still sell whisky by the package in our city. Why Continued on Page 2. FEDERAL TAX POWERS MAY PRESERVE NRA Emergency Unemployment Tax on Trades and Industry Suggested. PLAN BEING STUDIED Tax Would Be Based on the Number of Employes in Normal Period.

Washington, June 8. The taxing power of the government would be used to preserve purposes of the NRA under a plan studied today in administration circles. New deal lawyers have been developing the idea since the supreme court struck down code structure two weeks ago. It is an outgrowth of modern theortes legislation put forward; by liberal legal students. The plan proposes a bill to place an emergency unemployment tax on all trades and industries.

The tax would be based on the ratio of employes on an employer's payroll to the number employed by him on a given date regarded as "normal." The theory back of the plan is that the government is forced to make unusual expenditures for the reliet of the unemployed and that their former employers should help bear the burden. In this respect it resembles retroactive unemployment insurance while not subject to some of the objections which might be raised against such an act. Recent comment on decisions of the supreme court. note that there has been little done toward limiting the federal power to tax and still less on the power to spend money. Federal expenditures were questioned early in the history of the country on the theory they would form the basis for an invasion of state power.

The constitution gives the government the power to lay and collect taxes and to provide for the general welfare. The language in which this was done has confused scholars, but as far as the court is concerned there has been little question of the power to tax. The supreme court frequently has held that the power to taxgives the power to control and. regulate as well as "the power to destroy." This latter phrase was revived only recently when the court upheld a state tax on oleomargerine 80 prohibitive 88 to drive dealers in the product out the state, The purpose of the tax was to help dairy farmers. As long as the tar is Imposed for the purpose of raising money.

the court has made no limitation on the congressional power. It has, however, placed some limitation on the taxing power when it is used for other purposes. Continues on Page 2. Mrs. Lilliam H.

NEEDS NO ASSISTANCE, Fiery Italian Declares Country Will Not Be Stopped by Outsiders. Cagliari, Sardinia, June Benito Mussolini plainly told Great Britain today that Italy's course in Abyssinia is for- Italy alone to decide, and that he would be stopped. Addressing troops of the bauda division, to review whom he piloted a three-motored seaplane 280 miles across the Tyrrhenian sea from Rome, he said of England: "We will imitate to the letter those who presume to be school masters. They have shownthat when it was necessary to create or defend an empire, thicy did not take into consideration at all the opinions of the world." Italy, he said, had firmly decided to accept no coercion in its dealings with Abyssinia. Only yesterday, in the British house of commons.

speakers of all three main parties denounced Italy's course in its dispute with Abyssinia. The men whom Mussolini addressed today are about to sail for East Africa, to wait during the equatorial rainy season for his orders as to war. BEING DELAYED.
