From’a political standpoint, every

But considered from a national standpoint of: politics it is probably wiser
to levy-taxes than to omit them.

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

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.

“One Out of Three.”
Titled with that tragic but pronhetic caption, an 8-page safety booklet, graphically illustrated with
scenes depicting street and highway
traffic hazards, has just been issyed
by the California Safety Council in
its state wide drive against “highway homicides.”
The booklet,
been
illustrated by the
California artist, W. S. LeNoir, ranks
as one ofthe most dramatic. and
convincing contributions to safety
literature. in recent years.
Caught. in a maelstrom of motor
vehicle traffic, a mother with three
children occupies the foregrounG o
che cover page. 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.”

STATEINCOME —
TAX RETURN DUE
SACRAMENTO, April 6.—Taxpayers were reminded today by “Charles
J. McGoglan, Franchise Tax Commissioner, that state income tax returns must be filed on or before
April 15, and that, decordingly only
a few days remain in which to file
returns. Under the state income tax
act passed by the legislature in 1955
every single person whose net income
for the year 1935 amounted to $1000
or and every married person
whose net. income amounted to $2,500°or over, must file a return. Furthermore every person whose gross
income for 1935 amounted to $5,000 or over must file a return,
gardless of the amount of net income. 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. The failure, howeyer, to receive a form does
not relieve taxpayers from the obligation to file a return on time. 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

BE FINANCED BY
BANK OF AMER.
Continulation Pe a program for .
financing instalment. purchases of
household appliances under a plan
similar to Title 1 of the National
Housing Act was announced today
by Bank of America.
Effective April 1, the financing
of equipment such as ranges, refrigerators, washing machines and other
appliances through FHA loans terminated by Congressional action.
Bank of America has effected arrangements with appliance dealers
and stores throughout the state permitting the retail buyer to finance
these domestic necessities by monthly payments.
Title 1-of the National Housing
Act still permits financing of repairing ang modernization of homes and
other buildings through bank loans
insured by the FHA.
In announcing Bank of America’s —
finance plan for household appliances
L. M. Giannini, said:
“The popularity of this type of
financing is evident by the fact that
our 439 branches throughout California have loaned $24,686,000 under Title 1 of the National Housing
Act:
“In this’ way we have enabled 75.678 California home owners and
) proprietors of apartments and other
properties to improve living. conditions in this state.
“At least 25 per cent of these
loans were made to finance the purchase of apliances,. which is no
longer possible under the FHA. Bank
of America feels that a definite need
is being met in announcing statewide continuation of a program to
finance hotsehold equipment. Ser
