PAGE TWO 932 -ITHE “NEVADA CITY NUGGET bs __ Nevada City Nugget A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE and C. B. ANDERSON........ Publishers Published semi-weekly, Monday and Friday, at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBCRIPTION RATES ‘ 00 THE MORGAN INCIDENT = uation, according to California editors. the editors, the natural inferrence that the financiers had no income does not seem logical. “The dispatches tell us,” said the Bakersfield California, “that Congress is about to consider further legislation to plug -up the holes in income tax laws. Well, so far as most citizens are concerned, there appears not to have been any holes; they have paid according to their earnings, which is what they should have done. But when the rich banker. can demonstrate that he has no earnings, what can we hope from legislation to increase the income tax rate?” and if Mr. Morgan has kept within the letter of the law and at the same time been exempt from bearing a share in the sup‘port of government, then it is prefectly obvious that the income tax laws need amendment . . . .Whatever may be the reason, equity and justice cry out for correction of such weakness in the national laws that permit the wealthy and the powerful to unload the responsibilities of government on the less fortunate.” “It is time for the government to take another look at this entire matter of the capital-gain-and-loss ax,” remarked the San Francisco News. ‘‘Rich men of the country should not be able to escape income taxes at the very moment when the rest of the country is burdened with increased taxes and when the government is so desperately in need of revenue.” “There will be less complaint of taxes from the man of ordinary means if he can be assured that those at the apex of the business structure are doing their full share,” said the Marysville Appeal-Democrat. “It should not be possible by hiring clever tax experts, or, by questionable transfers of ownership within a family, or by fleeing to the refuge of government, state and municipal bonds, to escape the tax collectox. There should be no system of taxation that does not require payment in proportion to ability to pay.” “If the Morgans be allowed to write off of their income returns losses from shrinkage,’ commented the Hanford Daily Sentinel, “then the same rule ought to apply to the average income tax payer. But it happens not to so apply. Under such a condition there would be very little if any returns from that source this year. We hope the senate probe committee will get at all the facts, and make them known to the public.”’ “An income tax plan that permits J. P. Morgan to evade payment while it makes exactions from every man earning $1,000 a year does not have to be pointed out as defective,” said the Glendale News-Press. ‘That it is defective is an obvious fact that proclaims itself.» Even if the banker is able to point to losses, and cite his books as proof, he cannot make the public believe there is any justice in his immunity. Congress certainly has been given a lesson. Its failure to patch up the weak spots in the law would be inexcusable.” Ore and Bullion Purchased Licensed by State of California : Established-1907— ie WILDBERG BROS. SMELTING & REFINING Co.

Morgan and his associates paid no federal income tax for three years during the depression brings to light an astounding sitGranting that the returns were entirely within the law, say ' According to the Orange Daily News, “‘there is no good reason to suppose that the assets of the House of Morgan suffered more severe shrinkage than the assets of the average person of the country who has continued to pay income tax; ————— MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1 WHY NOT SUBSCRIBE FOR THE They heard Hoarded Gold Within the bank were two grand plus belonging to Jim Tottle, He drew it out in gleaming gold and put it in a bottle. Then—oh, of course the man was daft—he took his precious pelf Out to the barn and left it there ‘upon a dusty shelf. And there, quite undisturbed it stood, for fourteen ; Unseen by those who chanced to pass the old-barn’s sagging door. Jim pailed the cow at night and morn, and at such times, I’m told, He never failed to feast his eyes upon that cache of gold. A boy came to the barn one day; his folk, camped by the river, Had sent him for a bit of tin to mend the family flivver. His keen eyes spiéd: the treasurer trove, his brain appraised its worth; “Gosh, better get gold this-a-way than pan it from the earth!’’ He*pressed the bottle to his breast and quickly sped away— The Yuba boasted one camp less before the close of day. When Tottle missed his hoard that. i He threw the milk pail at the cow a The officers made no delay—in thi They rounded up the battered fliy Within the car were ma and pa, and bright eyed Willie Beven, The gold, by mother tightly clutched, and sister aged eleven. ‘the siren’s shuddering wail, pa stepped upon the gas, The law’s arm barred the narrow road and would not let them pass. But ere the fatefil moment came, ma tossed the gold afar; It landed on a mining dump, some distance from the car, The officers were now perplexed—they found no trace of gold; The friendly darkness had concealed ma’s action swift and bold. Not to be fooled, they brought all four back to Nevada City, And lodged them in’ the county jail, which really was a pity. Next day a sturdy mountaineer approached that salted dump, When suddenly and painfully his heart began to thump. He couldn’t trust his bulging eyes—he stopped his truck to stare; “What devil’s dream is this?” he gasped, ‘‘i He scrambled down in trembling haste to take a closer squint, “Well glory be,’ he cried, “this mine is runnin’ He scooped the scattered twenties up, and hastened back to Truckee, Then as he paid his honest debts, he thought, ‘“‘by gar, I’m lucky!”’ But as he went from place to @iace, indulging pleasant fancies: Folk talked and winked, and looked at him with dark, suspicious glances. Of course wild rumors took towing, the story-soon got out, And chortling officers declared, ‘“we’ve found the kale, no doubt!” Our Truckee friend was dispossessed—they took his “find” that day; And once again the gold reserve rolled merrily away. Now how will Justice go about untangling this coil? I wonder, will she tear her hair and burn the midnight oil? Oh Well, that’s no affair of mine, I have no hoarded gold, Enough for me to know that I a truthful tale have told. A.

WEEKLY . _ COMMENT ; By CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN One sentiment which came to the surface in Alleghany after the recent fire is illustrative of the sportsmanship of the people of this little high Sierra mountain settlement. Each one who lost so heavily in the holocaust sought. ways and means of helping others who lost. Even men who were competitors became brothers in truth. With no thought but the other fellows welfare they went about finding ways and means to help. This was not a Gaston Alphonse gesture. It came from the heart and its sincerity was demonstrated ‘with more than lip service. Those of us who drive the moun: tain roads enough to really become familiar with them realize that extra care must be exercised to avoid accidents. The tragedy ending Mr. Winkles life last week is still very clear in my mind, having been an eyewitness to the devastating effect of a slight error in judgment or perhaps the failure of some part of the steering aparatus. The thought I wish to bring out is that we cannot be too careful in driving these mountain reads and: -in impressing the danger on those with whom we come in contact. The worshippers of the goddess of
Terpsichore wiil find ample opportuni‘y to trip the light fantastic in this community this summer. Frank Thurston’s _ Lake Olympia dance place will open very soon, the Twin Cities. is building a new platform in the old location, Riley’s Midway Barbecue has built dance facilitfes for their patrons, the Log Cabin also has dancing and altogether one will be able to choose whatever location or whatever kind of an orchestra which strikes the faney at any moment. Well dancing is better than crying, So “‘on with the Dance.” When we die, where does the soul so if there is one? No one knows, everybody has a‘ belief which gives pleasure and satisfaction to them. Without opening a religious discussion, here is one idea. Lincoln died about 68, years ago, yet even to this’ day his spirit guides us both in spiritual and mundane living. He is held up to the youth of the land as (. JEM" ASKS “FRANK” . ; . TO VISIT CALIFORNIA SACRAMENTO, June 5—(UP)— California’s master entertainer and host, Governor “Sunny Jim’’ Rolph, arrival, next July 23, of at least 23 of the nation’s governors who will attend the National Governors’ Conference in California. Every spare minute of the governor’s time—and his spare minutes are painfully extracted during the hectic bill signing period—is devoted to making arrangements for entertaining the visiting governors. Twenty-three. state executives have accepted California’s invitation. They include Governors Pinchot, Pennsylvania; Winat, New Hampshire; Talmadge, Georgia; Olson, Minnesota; Park, Missouri; Blooa, Utah; Hardee, Florida; Allen, Louisiana; Connor, Mississippi; Enringhaus, North Carolina; Lehman, New York; MeNutt, Maryland; Brann, Maine; Buck, Deleware; Cross, Connecticut; Landon, Kansas; Pollard, Virginia; Balzar, Nevada; Cooney, Montana; Green, Rhode Island; Ross, Idaho; Langer, North Dakota and Moeur, Arizona. President Roosevelt was invited but, of course, was compelled to refuse. Governor Rolph called up the President the other day to urge him to attend. re “Sorry, Jim’? the president replied, ‘“‘but I can’t make it. However, I'll get in touch with George (Secre_ tary of War George H. Dern) and see if he’ll represent me.” o—— HANDWRITING ONLY CLUE TO THIS POSTAL WILLOWS, June 5—(UP)—Postal officials here are trying to figure this one out.

Jack wouldn't even accept a round-trip ticket to the sunkissed land of the ukelele as a gift. He’d rather be a landlubber and cater to the wants of the traveling public at his recently acquired auto court near here. There’s a reason, of course. For fifteen years he sailed the Pacific as an employe of the Matson lines, roundtrips to the Hawaiian isles. during which time h@ made 450 “T’m just tire dof jumping all over the Pacific and want to settle down in one place,” he said.
