RILEY MEASURE
SACRAMENTO, May 18—(UP)—
A definite reduction of the tax load
on real property is claimed by proponents of the Riley tax plan which
has been passed by the legislature
and will be submitted to the people
at a special election in June.
Under terms of the measure, all
operative property, Such as railroads
and gas and_electric companies, will
be returned to local tax rolls. This
property, valued at $1,339,035,802
in, recent years has been taxed for
state purposes only.
According to a compilation by the
state board of equalization the plan
will permit the return of utility
property valued at $2,698,748 to
the local tax rolls of Nevada county. :
As a result, it was explained, this
will give the county a broader tax
base and the rate may be lowered.
This particular provision,
ever, will not be effective until_January, 1935. i
In the meantime it is planned
that. the state will levy-a-2-per cent
(retail sales tax toraise funds to. relieve counties of the task of matching state funds for thé support of
elementary and high schools. . This
feature is expected to provide ‘immediate relief for the-local taxpayer.
When the _ utility property “is
transferred to the local tax rolls,
the state will lose an income _ between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000
annually. The plan calls fora general ad’ valorem tax to make up
this difference.
In order to make sure that the
burden on real property will not be
too great, the proposed epnstitutional amendment specifically provides that not more than 25 per*cent
of the cost of state goverriy _ may
be defrayed by revenue 1 this
source. ¢
An additional. safeguard against
excessive taxes is provided. in a
clause limiting increases of “governmental expenditures to not more
than 5 per cent annually. “4

cabinet have failed to shake Governor Rolph’s' confidence in his
short and portly finance director.
The governor, in his 10,000 word
answer to the Inman _ investigating
committee’s report, emphatically
stated he had absolute faith in the
courage, integrity and good intentions of Vandergrift. He admitied
the director might have committed
mistakes in judgment; but that
nothing ~ the committee unearthed
indicated Vandergrift was dishonest
or unprincipled.
Vandergrift has demonstrated a
peculiar capacity of drawing fire
from powerful sectors and making
enemies during the past six months.
The investigating. ‘committee preferred inferential charges against
him far more serious than those
lodged against Dr: J. M. Toner, director of institutions, who is scheduled to be “‘transferred.”’ :
The director’s state bond deals
for the state -were condemned;
broad hints of graft were given out
by the committee in connection
with the leasing of the state annex
of the Inman
officials and
building; and his connection and
activities in connection with the
purchase of the Ventura hospital
site were severely criticized. Particularly, did the committee wonder
why he purchased a ranch adjacent
to the Ventura hospital site.
Vandergrift is cordially dislikea
by virtually every member of the
Rolph official family. This unpopularity was manifest at a recent secret meeting of Rolph with his cabinet and constitutional officers. The
officials were verbally tearing Vandergrift limb from limb when the
the discussion. One official promptly walked up to the director and
called him a name which calls for a
fight, unless accompanied by a
smile. There was no smiles; nor
was there. a fight. Vandergrift

SACRAMENTO, Cal., May 15—
(U.P.) Right: now, two countries are
providing concrete examples of good
and bad dictatorship.
In the United States,under the
sincere, helpful, really inspired dictatorship of President Roosevelt,
the country. is making gigantic
strides back toward prosperity. “
In Germany, under the despotic,
dark-century, ignorant, and selfish
dictatorship of Hitler, the country
is sinking back into the oblivion of
the dark ages.
Strange contrast these two examples afford, in this, the noon of
the twentieth century.
United States, under the flag of
practical, common-sense economics
is crushing traditional bad customs
so as to give her people real relief.
Germany, under the flag of imfifteenth century crusadership, in the name of
idiotic ‘‘nationalism,’’ is .creating a
world-wide reaction of
contempt for Prussianism.
How a country like Germany,
once the envy of al countries because of her intellect, scholarship,
efficiency and progress, could totter
so far-in such-a short period. of
time, is difficult to understand.
Dictatorships are not a new thing.
History records that on one occasion, among the Romans, Cincinnatus was asked to leave his plow and
-take the job of running the country,
as a dictator, for a period
months. History

The big. difference between
Roosevelt and Hitler is that one
wants to serve and the other wants
to control.

Elizabeth Porter
Pe spire in the Union cemetery, Kansas City, boasts that
city’s romantic link with the distant
alarums of the Revolutionary—war,
fought on the remote eastern rim of
the continent while Kansas City was
a -still unknown spot in the vast wilderness west of the Mississippi.
The country was new when Samuel
Porter with his young bride Elizabeth
immigrated from Ireland to make their
home in Richmond, Va. Tennessee
was still unexplored wilderness filled
with dangers, beckoning to ambitious
young people desirous of securing land
of their own. So, presently, we find
the Porters with their retinue of
slaves migrating again, and setting up
a home near Franklin, Tenn,
There was a war going on, they
knew, but the rich, newly cleared
lands of their homestead were at that
time “farthest west” and many miles
of wilderness and irregular communieation made Bunker Hill and Brandywine seem safely remote. But the
long arm of the British through their
hired Indian allies reached even that
far. And one day, when the men folks
were far away in the forests, a whooping band of red warriors descended
upon the little settlement at Franklin, took prisoner all the women, including Mrs. Porter, and set off with
them through the wilderness.
Through endless miles of forest they
marched the small band. The hardships of the journey were extreme,
ancdat tasted: For. ss Thorne were
rivers to ford, dreary nichts of discomfort in improvised — camping
grounds, and the constant menace of
their silent but watchful red captors.
Just why these women were not-killed
at the beginning and scalped according to the Indian custom, we do not
know, though it has been suggested
3ritish officers prevented that.
At length ‘the party reached Fort
Niagara, a British stronghold in Canada, and there remained through the
long winter. Not until the next spring
were they returned to the Colonists
and their homes.
Mrs. Porter's third migration was in
1829, when, a widow, she came_ to
Kansas with her son, the Reverend
James Porter, a circuit rider.

Hitler is actuated by an-,old type
of conquest in politics, the desire to
ruthlessly rule or ruin for selfish
purposes.
Predictions of the outcome in the
United States and in Gérmany are
easy. Roosevelt will go down .in
history as one of the leading progressives and liberals of western
civilization. —
Hitler will last only as long as
he can. keep his grip on militarism
intact; then, he will flop as any
other ignorant demagogue has flopped.
After all, as Dr. Monroe E.
Deutsch, vice-president and provost
of the University of California says,
“desire to serve state and commonwealth should be above all other
qualifications for public office.”
Otherwise, he continues, the people will find the ship of state steered by helmsmen both selfish and
blind.
