Rome Fails In Tourists Tax Plan Amid Backlash
Rome proposed a 10 percent hotel bill tax to fund tourism but faced strong opposition from the public and hoteliers who warned it would harm incomes. The city already collects 10 percent on hotel bills plus a luxury tax, while war-era costs and higher food prices strain hotel operations and staff wages.

Marion Star attacked as dog chews porch copy
A Marion Star newspaper was the target of a vicious attack after a dog chewed a copy left on Mr. Frank's porch. A hand stopped the dog as it lunged. The incident prompts a cartoonish note about dogs and porch papers. Hanford McNider, an American Legion figure, will arrive July 5 with thousands of legion boys to greet Neighbor Harding.
