Modified Income Tax
Is Forcast To Aid
In Balancing Budget
Big Steal Man
By RALPH ‘H. TAYLOR
A modified state income tax, designed to equalize distribution of the
‘tax load, as well as to bolster state
revenues, is almost certain of enactj ment at the forthceming session of
. the State Legislature.
Such, at any rate, is the judgment
of many of the state’s leading fiscal
. officers and tax authorities who are.
casting about for ways and means of
. balancing: the state budget.
Several income tax — proposals,
with varying rates, will undoubtealy be introduced when the lawmak4
ers convene in Jan.
. uary, but it is generally anticipated
that the tax finally agreed upon
.
at Sacramento
will yield in the neighborhood of
$12,000,000 biennially.
An g@ncome tax embodying excessive rates, according to the financial
experts, is impracticable, inasmuch
it would drive capital from the
State and defeat its own purpose.
But a modified tax on personal incomes, -patterned after the levies
adopted in several other states in
recent years, will have the backing
this year of many groups which foras
} t The gir: seems terrified, ag
merly opposed all forms of income who wouldn’t be? The man to
1] tax, due to seriousness of the finanwhom she had just been introduced, one Frank N. Stein,
turns out to be a monster, and
cial -dilemma-—confronting the state.

minutes later by a blazing mattress
and blanket.
Wiles got out of bed and heaved
the burning bedding out the. window, spread his remaining blankets
on the springs and resumed his
slumbers. af
The mattress fell betwéen the two
buildings in an areaway about four
feet wide and ignited the wall of the
grocery store and flamed up the side
setting the roof on fire.
It had burned some little while
before the fire alarm was turned in
about 6:30 o’clock. The fire department responded promptly and
after a desperate battle extinquished
the flames. Damage was estimated
at $300.
Chief of Police W. G. Robson arrested Wiles and lodged him'‘in a
