TAYLOR i «3 em «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 “Single taxers,’” with tke aid of a tax committee of the!

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. six buildings that are to comprise the ONE HOUSE COMPLETE . : ss» ON PIETY HILL TRACT About two years ago Mrs. Neaves . ;opened the Shamrock.

Residence 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!
