Head
"s BY RALPH H. TAYLOR

«The year 1934 promises to require a greater degree of
clear thinking and intelligent voting than any other period in
recent California history—if the voting taxpayer is to escape
new and ruinous burdens. :
Quack “‘cure-alls’” of every description, attractively baited to catch the hard-pressed taxpayer and voter, already have
cropped up in record-breaking profusion, with the surety of
‘many more to come as the campaign season draws nearer.
One of the most dangerous schemes, so far as the farmer
is concerned, and common taxpayers generally, is the old and.
somewhat shop-worn “‘single tax", built on the discredited
premise that land should carry the brunt of the tax load.
_ With general taxpayers,farmers, home owners and business men alike—fighting for their very existence, the “single
tax,” as such, would undoubtedly be doomed to more overwhelming defeat than in past elections. But the old plan has
been dressed in such new garb that the average voter, unless
he digs beneath the surface, might fail to penetrate the disguise.
The “bait’’ in the rejuvenated single tax plan, designed
to snare the unwary voter. is repeal of the sales tax. But the
“joker’’ in the plan is that the “‘relief’’ accorded by abolition
_ of the sales tax would be cancelled forthwith by new and crushing taxes on property. ne

Ouilaws of Eden
By PETER B. KYNE
A WESTERN ROMANCE OF TODAY,
FULL OF COLOR AND ACTION
Read this vivid story of a spirited
girl who drove evil from her mountain paradise . . . It is from the pen
of one of America’s greatest writers
“Outlaws of Eden” will appear serially in this
paper, starting soon. Watch for first installment
for the plan, with every indication that it will be. submitted to
California voters at the general election in November.
Here, briefly, are the provisions of the plan: .
1. Repeal of the tax limitation adopted in the Riley Stew.
art plan, limiting state taxes on real estate to 25 per cent of the
state budget. The repeal of this proviso would clear the way .
for “‘upping’’ taxes on farm property and common property .
generally. .
2. Gradual elimination: (over a 5-year period) of the personal property tax on improvements on land, and substitution
of a heavier tax on the land itself. Innproved and unimproved :
land would be taxed on the same basis.
3. Repeal of the sales tax and permanent prohibition of
it’s re-enactment. j
4. A flat $1000 tax exemption on every homestead.
Both the provision for repeal of the sales levy and the
proposed $1,000 exemption fall in the category of “‘bait’’ to
make the plan attracttive. * The universal $1,000 exemption,
for example, would merely have the effect of increasing the
abolition of the sales tax would simply have the result ot .
transferring back on the shoulders of the common property .
taxpayers the $100,000,000 burden now carried by the entire state.

MAN’S DOMINION
When the blue jays at length have been
vanquished,
When not one of their number is left,
When mountain,
Of the chattering clowns are bereft,
Shall we find with a pang of contrition,
As often before we have done,
That the creatures we doomed to extinction
Had a right to their place in the sun?
and forest, and valley
When there’s nothing of blue for our shooting,
What then shall we take for a mark?
The warm ruddy breast of a robin,
Or the soft yellow one of a lark?
The humming bird's gay iridescence—
A target to baffle our skill?
The tip-tilting form of the ousel,
Or that of a shy whippoor-will?
How eager we are in recounting
The crimes of the birds we would slay!
One startled the deer we were stalking,
One carried the nut crop away, *
The mocking bird sang in the moonlight,
Disturbing our langorous dreams,
Whe linnets ‘arid thrushes awake us
At dawn; mutch too éarly it se~
Oh shades of the carrier pigeoA,
‘The heath hen, and others as rave,
Can it be, in his vaunted ‘“‘dominion,”’
Man oft is unjust and unfair?
No answer comes up from the hollow,
No bird song floats over the rill;
‘But a rifle shot shatters the silence—
The hunter is still on the hill.
And mischievous insects are rasping
And chortling each one in his glee,‘They are killing those big feathered monsters
And making the world safe for me.”
A. Merriam Conner.
