@ THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET ‘LOGS IT IN CALIFORNIA ALTURAS, Avg. 24—(UP)— Whether Thomas Hughes conducts his logging operations in California or Oregon would be rather difficult to determine.

As a result many times finds him. self in the peculiar position of ‘cut; ting timber in Oregon but logging it out of California.

FORMS T0 ASK TAX REPEAL SACRAMENTO, Aug. 24—(UP) —The sales tax still holds the center of th estage as far as ‘the state eapitol;' is concerned, and it is concerned. Opposition to the 2% per cent levy took definite form with the filing of incorporation papers for an organization to be known as_ the “Sales Tax Repeal Association, Inc.” Headquarters are in San Francisco. Meantime the state board of equalization still is,struggling with thé problem of preventing tax profiteering partticularly on small sales. Announcement was made that the board would have field agents in every county by September 1 to see that merchants were not charging more than the 2% per cent rate. All retailers also were ordered to obtain their $1 licenses by September 1. _ Good news for some 35,000 school children in Southern California, or :bad news for educators and parents depending on the viewpoint. Anyway, state officials are concerned over the fact an enforced vacation may be necessary this Fall because they haven’t found a way to get around the requirement school builders must be ‘“‘quake proof’? under terms of a bill passed by the legislature. Temporary structures available until new schools can be built to replace those destroyed by the ‘quake. do not meet this requirement: In many ways 1933 may not have been, so far, the best year on record, but you don’t hear the state division of forestry kicking. Forest fire records for the first six months of the year show only 40,882 acres of grass and timber. burned in state-protected areas, with damage estimatéd “at $53,808. Forest fire damage for tother ~ half-years: 1932, $72,344; 1931, $601,333. Now that legislation has failed, it is the duty of education to give proPer consideration to the liquor problem, in the opinion of iVerling Kersey, state superintendent of public instruction. Special phamplets have been issued for the use of California teachers showing the effect of alcohol on health. School courses are . being revised to stress the im per! tance of and respect for law enforcement. The schools, however, will wage no militant campaign against liquor, Kersey said. ; Injured in an automobile accident in Southern California, Rolland A. Vandegrift, state director of finance jis supervising his department from a ;hospital bed. One of his first acts i after recovering partially from the . shock of a broken shoulder, was to , advise Governor Rolph to veto the bill repealing the law which authorizes assessment of a genera! ad valorem tax when state revenues do not meet expenditures. Vandegrift now credit, particularly from the standpoint of bond markets. BANK BURGLARS ALARM SOUNDS FAR T00 LATE SACRAMENTO, Aug. 24.—(UP) ——Police emergency squads rushed to the corner of 7th and I streets when the burglar alarm gong of the closed California National bank started. ringing. furiously.

Because of provisions in ‘the, new tax amendment limiting expenditure increases to 5 per cent annually, permission of the state board of equalization is necessary before tthe school budgets can be expanded. According to Vierling Kersey, the state superintendent of public instruction, many school districts ‘are badly in need of the additional funds asked. MANY FAIL TO PAY TAX “The—tax moraterium—early—this
year resulted in the. failure of many property owners to pay taxes with the result that school districts in many instances did not receive the full amounts due them,’ Kersey stated. “As a result some districts still are. faced with the problem. of: paying a number of last year’s bills. The necessity of painting and maintaining school property has contributed to the need of more money, and the larger city schools are faced with the necessity of providing for increased school attendance.”Of the total number of applications before the board, 341 probably will be granted automatically inag# much as the proposed 1933-34 exPenditures will not exceed the exDenses of the basic year 1931-32, even though they are more than 5 Per cent over 1932-33. The board, discretion however, must use its on 364 applications that will amount to a total proposed _increase of $1,570,556. The board recently completed a series of hearings on the requests but final action will not be taken for several days, it was annouced. Applications for increases Were received from 638 elementary districts 63 high school districts and 4 junior college districts.

INHERITANCE TAX INCOME DROPS Aug. 24—(UP) —Yidid of the inheritance tax which has dwindled during depression is bound to increase. in the immediate future ,according to Judge W. H.-H. Gentry, chief attorney of the inheritance tax division. Legislation, coupled with the. apparent favorable turn in the tide of business, will serve to bring in additional revenue. The ‘‘death. tax’’ yield for the fiscal year of 1931-32 was $7,288,522.21, Nevada county’s contribution .to this total was $920.26. WIDOW'S EXEMPTIONS CUT During the mid-summer session, money-seeking legislators passed a law reducing widow’s exemptions, from $50,000 to $25,000. Legislators thought this would increase the years, yield $750,000 annually, but Judge _ Gentry is inclined to believe this estimate is a bit optimistic . This law doesn’t go into effect until 90 days after passage, wich will be late in October. California’s inheritance tax—in effect since 1905—-has been liberal by comparison. with other. state. Even with the tightening up on this exemption, it is ‘still far less than many other states. RECEDING VALUES The depression took a heavy toll on inheritance tax revenue. Receding values of all types of property were naturally reflected in the size of estates ,Judge Gentry pointed out. Even though the state and nation bounds upward rapidly, effect of the depression will still be felt—insofar as the inheritance tax is concerned—for some time to come. For the tax is levied on the estate’s vaiue as of the time of death. Thus a man might die today, but by the time his eState was straightened out to the point where a tax could be levied, it would be six months or a year later. tate’s value might well have increased. But the state could lévy its tax only on its value as of August, 1933, -—O eennntetiiceet. Miss Patra Young of of Milford, Utah, is visiting Miss Dolly Jefferson.
