Southern Pacific IS PROMISED IN 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 SUSPENDED WOODLAND—(UP)—Juan Martinez got the point of this tale.

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 waited for this official to tell his story, listened to the,charges of. others, answered them all suavely and urbanely, and walked out. The amazing feature of the situation is why the governor, so responsive to the cabinet, ustially views of the insists that his rector remain in finance dioffice even at the . risk of executive harmony.

By S. G. RUBINOW (U. P. Special Correspondent.) 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.

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. ©, 1932, Western Newspaper Union, antha 10c a day + eee Think of it!

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. oO 18] Whitman Symes, mining man of Downieville, was in‘’Nevada City Monday.
