After spending around 12 billions to lift ourselves out of the depression, the administration ‘in Washington about for methods of getting G@aSts ¢ i into the treasury. This eifort is not especially to balance the budget. It is merely to keep us from From’a political standpoint, every Democratic job holder feels sorry for himself. To raise taxes, and what taxes! in an election year, is as*profane a’ thing as dancing on a grave. But considered from a national standpoint of: politics it is probably wiser to levy-taxes than to omit them. ‘ic point of view taxes should have been raised and maintained at a high level during the entire Democratic regime. That ‘would have iput the brakes on, the prodigious. spending to be sure and would ‘hav prevénted us perhaps from —pulling ourselves out the depression by our boot straps. Taxes would have weighed down the boots.There is no question in the world, among those who make a study of national economy, that taxes will slow down recovery. And probably this is just as well, for, all signs pointed to a fast rise in the security markets and another period of furious prosperity and credit inflation. President Coolidge said: ‘‘No matter what anyone may say about making the rich and the corporations pay the taxes, in the end they come out of the people who toil. No SyStem has been devised under which any person living this country can escape being by the cost of government. It is felt-in the priee of food, clothing, fuel and shelter. I want the American people to be able to work ‘Jess for the government and more for themselves, J want them to have the rewards for their own industry. That is the chief meaning of freedom.” in affected Mark ‘Twaints#emark—about the weather, “trothing being done about it,’ -is beginning tobe out of date. ‘It is true nothing is*done to control temperatures and_ precipitation rain or snow, but-once the thing has happened, much done about it For“instance, vesterday on a ride te Soda Springs hotel, most of the dis-; tance was between two high walls ‘o snow, six to twelve feet high.

In the orchards throughout’ the state, smudge pots lift tempera» tures in the frost stricken zones, and along the coasts the radio-penetrates fog and warns of the shore’s proximity. In. dozens of ways, has been done about the weather, or rather the effects of weather. Science inside and outside the homes, has done much to defeat the effect of weather. Air-conditioning of the home, factory and office, is just another step in defeating the forces of nature. : of is busy were rates. someth ing Hauptmann, child murderer is dead at long last. It will be many a day before upright, straight thinking Americans, will forget the disgrace of that three-year interval between commission of the crime and its expiation in the electric chair. The sorry role that Governor Hoffman of New Jersey played in this delay of justice, farcical, and considered from the standpoint of the condemned man, ghoulish, leaves a stench in the nostrils. Even now, with the guilty Hauptmann dead, there is a wide suspicion that others were implicated, in this monstrous crime. But whether there is or not, we feel certain that one murderer has atoned for a hideous crime.

Above is the title “One cnt of three,’ with this challenging sub-title: “Unless present traffic accidents are veduced, one out of every three children in California is destined to death or injury in highway crashes during his normal life span.” California Safety Council. then presents the highway homicide problem in striking contrast with the murder problem, as follows: “Approximately 350 California citizens were slain during 1935 by gunmen and other murderers. “But eight times that numher-— 2,806—-were slain in the _ teerrific carnage on our street and_ highways.” Miss Fidella Legg of Vallejo and Tom Legg, student at Sacramento Junior College, are spending their vacations with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Legg.

Returns must be filed by every person whose income for 1935 equalled or exceeded the ‘above amounts, even though no tax is due. Every effort has been made, Mr. McColgan announces, ‘to supply taxpayers with return forms.

Every person who is required to file a return should immediately get in touch with the commissioner’s office and obtain a form if he has not already done so. Full details for computing income, exemptions and the amount of tax dife, are set forth on the forms. a U. C.
