For want of a better term, this group ‘fs the great middie class, consisting of spite the fact that the depression hit this group especially hard, several finance authorities at Sacramento. believe that they, because of their siability and unwflingness to seek loopholes through which to escape tax payments, are the safest group to tax. Their revenue can be counted on, Walter E. Hettman has pointed out that the state income tax proposal, a levy which ostensibly should gain most of its revenue from the wealthy, in reality will be more of a drain on the middle class. So much of wealthy people’s money is invested in tax-exempt bonds. The poor will be exempt from the tax because their :yearly incomes will fall below the lowest amount from which income levies are collected.

In the sales tax the wealthy are apt to be less diac: se they buy goods in such larg that the maximum they pay for tho levy is 2% per cent. The middle and poorer classes often make only 15 to 25 cent purchases. For each such purchase the sales tax is collected, the per cent rising from 21% to as high as 6%. I have been told by John W. Howe of the State Department of Public Works that this column erred, recently in a statement concerning the proposed one cent increase in gas tax. The tax was said to be a part of Governor Merriam’s road consolidation plan—which it is not. It is an emergency and temporary measure to raise money for unemploy} ment relief only. Pocketbook Considered The taxpayer may rest assured that ! not all the proposals made at the last . legislative session were aimed at ripping the very lining out of his /pocketbook. In addition to Governor Mere riam’s proposed saving of $16,000, 000 through his road consolidation program, many bills have been introduced which would relieve the strain on the pursestrings of hard-pressed taxpayers and. mortgage and trust deed debtors. The emergency moratorium bill on mortgages and trust deeds which was dramatically rushed through at the last minute before recess /will no doubt be extended in the March session. Measures have been introduced which would extend the moratorium until the reconvening of the Jegislature in 1937. There are many bills proposing exemption from /attachment of radios, washing machines, autos, trucks, typewriters, all electrical appliances and personal property up to $300. The installment-plan nas proved-so successful in business that certain legislators would adope the method for transacting state business. at least as far ag paying taxes is concevned. There are /bills pendinz which y.ould allow Le ae Voagae Lapeer pecan e quantities payments of all :«::es on i.istallments, One would allow the pes ments to be ; /made at the ta: ayer’s convenience, . another provides that thay be made in monthly install:nents «and yet another { calls for quarterly payments. The hard-pre:<ed home owner would be aided in ano her series of bills enabling him to boris. from the state. Extension of s‘ate liome and farm purchase aid to citizeus along the line of the aid now given to war veterans has also been proposed. Another measure provides that real estate, pledged by a mortgage or trust deed, would be assessed for taxation at its value, less the amount of the obligation. A senate bill would continue in force the 5 per cent state and local budget increase limitations. Under an assembly bill, state highway funds would be used to meet outstanding special assessments against home owners for roadway or park improvements. This is one of a large group of bills seeking special assessment relief. Institution Cegislatics * California’s penal and insane institutions are due for some major reorganizing, judging from bills awaiting legislative attention. Publicity given to reeent prison breaks and investigations made by the new diréctor of institutions, Harry Lutgens, of the insane hospital situation have aroused public ; interest in favor of increasing the num ber.of both insane and penal institutions in this state. In. his. budget, Governor Merriam Broposes: . es, one of $1, 156,141, 69 and an‘othe of $3,356,388. The: first: sum’ has expenses of our state institutions and. prisons due to an increase in the number of the state’s wards and ‘higher The other appropriation would be “for necessary new construction at the : hospitals for insane.” The governor considers the. addifixed charge, ‘since there is no means } of controlling the number of indfvid. uals committed to our state institutions:” As for the construction of additional . insane hospitals, the state executive . points ont that these institutions are c/ badly overcrowded, at present housing hy THE NEVADA the professions and skilled labor. De. { declares that transporting arms into party lines. SB 105+ would leave the _with representation on a population 32.12 per cent more. than their capacity. but thot his apportionment will not so much relieve this condition as it will . . provide for expected increases. An outstanding feature of the many bills pertaining to crime js that legislators would increase penalties for many criminal acts and would increase the difficulties in obtaining paroles. Other measurcs propose new state prisons, still others would form boards and commissions for administration of sponsibilities, Angeles County, has introduced AB 1701 which would consolidate the state’s law enforcing groups under one desafety department. would include the state highway patrol, the state police, the division of motor vehicle registration, the division of criminal identification, the division of paroles and licenses for detectives and the narcotic enforcement bureau. AlLcollections of motor vehicle registrations. woull be turned over to the safety fund, according to this bill. This money now goes for road purposes. Then there are measures which would enable state police officers to patrol all districts not adequately taken care of by Yocal authorities. Still other bilis would facilitate the apprehension of criminals. Pertaining to this last item, SB 735 and 736 would set up a uniform criminal extradition act and authorize the governor to enter into compacts with adjoining states under which peace officers could cross state borders in pursuit of criminals and return them for trial without the formality of extradition. Tho sovernor “is much interested in prevos ae Celifarnia from becoming a “crime center.” To forestall any possibilities of this and to aid all the western states in their fight to stamp out crime, Merriam has invited the gover‘nors of the western states to meet with him March 18-19 for a conference. Following a consultation with California law-enforcement heads, he has drawn up a program for consideration at this meeting. Among the proposals which will be discussed, Merriam would establish compacts between states covering various aspects of pursuit of criminals and . crime suppression. He would have the states adopt uniform and. model codes of criminal procedure, and he believes that steps should be taken to assure effective and harmonious cooperation between the federal government and the states in all matters involving national or interstate criminal activities. Among the important bills establishing new prisons and regulating the affairs of penal institutions are: AB 216-—Provides for a southern California prison for first offenders. SB 216 and 217--Calls for a new state prison and authorizes the state to accept federal financial assistance. As to increasing penalties, AB 3069 2 prisons to facilitate escape be punishable by death. In another bill, capital punishment would be abolished, being replaced by life imprisonment withcut parole. Another important measure would sterilize convicts and mental hospital inmates whose offspring “would have a tendency to serious physical or mental disease or mental deficiency.” SB 616—Would create a.series of highway prison camps to relieve crowded prisons and help in road maintenance. the increasing penal institution reAssemblyman Charles Y.

BELL DENTIST Director Lutgens’ probes into the insane hospital situation reveals a real . need for new buildings. There has been a large increase in the number of inmates during the last four years, due chiefly to physical and mental breakdowns recsulting from the depression. One encouraging feature, found Lut-. gens, was that at the Patton mental hospital 85 per cent of the patients have been discharged as cured or temporarily recovered from insanity. Politics Hit The gubernatorial campaign which culminated last Nov«mber is reflected in the load of bills proposing changes in elections and the present political setup. Several measures demand complete public reports of campaign expenditures. Others will attempt to give Cali-, fornia a new Corrupt Practices Act which would prescribe prison sentences for intimidation of voters, falsification of campaign fund reports and unauthorized corporation sends in political campaigns. ‘ ws Companies of company agents wou! be forbidden from making direct, cam paign contributions. A candidate for governor would. be limited to $10, 000 for campaign expenses, Any persons guilty of the above corrupt practices ,would be subject toa $1000 fine or five years in prison, or both. The same.penalties are to apply to persons making campaign contributions without the candidate’s knowledge or consent. There are four bills. which would make the legislature nonpartisan instead of being’ elected and acting along _ governor, lieutenant-governor and the fature partisan but make all other governmental jobs nonpar ‘isan. No doubt the last election gave rise legislation seeking to bar radical political. parties from the ballot, and also AB 2284 which says that no candidate can run for an office on more than one political party’s ticket. As to changes in the legislative setup, SCA 6 would consolidate the senate. and assembly into one house of 100 members, chosen for four-year terms. basis. Another bill would increase the terms of assemblymen from two to four years and senators from four to six years. ACA 5 proposes an annua! insteac of a biennial legislative session.

BELL DENTIST Director Lutgens’ probes into the insane hospital situation reveals a real . need for new buildings. There has been a large increase in the number of inmates during the last four years, due chiefly to physical and mental breakdowns recsulting from the depression. One encouraging feature, found Lut-. gens, was that at the Patton mental hospital 85 per cent of the patients have been discharged as cured or temporarily recovered from insanity. Politics Hit The gubernatorial campaign which culminated last Nov«mber is reflected in the load of bills proposing changes in elections and the present political setup. Several measures demand complete public reports of campaign expenditures. Others will attempt to give Cali-, fornia a new Corrupt Practices Act which would prescribe prison sentences for intimidation of voters, falsification of campaign fund reports and unauthorized corporation sends in political campaigns. ‘ ws Companies of company agents wou! be forbidden from making direct, cam paign contributions. A candidate for governor would. be limited to $10, 000 for campaign expenses, Any persons guilty of the above corrupt practices ,would be subject toa $1000 fine or five years in prison, or both. The same.penalties are to apply to persons making campaign contributions without the candidate’s knowledge or consent. There are four bills. which would make the legislature nonpartisan instead of being’ elected and acting along _ governor, lieutenant-governor and the fature partisan but make all other governmental jobs nonpar ‘isan. No doubt the last election gave rise legislation seeking to bar radical political. parties from the ballot, and also AB 2284 which says that no candidate can run for an office on more than one political party’s ticket. As to changes in the legislative setup, SCA 6 would consolidate the senate. and assembly into one house of 100 members, chosen for four-year terms. basis. Another bill would increase the terms of assemblymen from two to four years and senators from four to six years. ACA 5 proposes an annua! insteac of a biennial legislative session.
