DEMOCRATS TO BACK INCOME TAX PROPOSAL <Continned From Page One.) bring about a more equitable distribution of the burden of taxation, the evident intent, if orfe follows the letter of the argument of those favoring their Adoption, is to produce a greater volume Os" revenue. Keeling thst this might be the tendency and everything seems to point that war. It is our purpose tv lay left re you such data ns is essential to emphasize, without orejudice, conditions as they exist regsrddrg present-day public expenditures and the causes which lead thereto, which may to a greater or lesser extent have a bearing on the question of adoption or rejection of the proposed amendments and might ( possibly tad to stimulating the public pulse Howard encouraging an effort looking to a redaction rerh. • thau an increase of revenue and public expenditures. EXPENSES pi Li; ip. "‘Every Legislature, regardless of its pollticisl complexion, in the p>a-t twenty year* has been lecrersing the burden of taxation by the creation of new rommiswioo* and boards until the last published year book shows a total of fid State commissions and boards which •amber was liberally adii<- : to by the last Legislature. As shown on psgc 7 of the 119 Tear Book the then Governor said in his message to the Legislature, j •peaking of oce of the departments: ‘The •resent system Is admirably designed to ; provide many places for the party in j power but is perfect In its Inefficiency.' j Yet, all of these departments cost and! become a burden on the public. To tow ! bow these burdens mount we will go i back to 1900 With a population of 2.JYO,- \ 000. the Stare disbursements of all funds equalled $2 35 per capita; In 1910 with! • population of 2.790,000 the per capita disbursements had Increased to $3 10 and tr, 1920 with a population of but 'i .900,000 1 th State expenditures by virtue of its many added commissions ami boards mounted to the height of $7 +0 per capita. In other word* while the population had Increased a scant 16 per cent the disbursements, the cost of upkeep, had . increased 310 per cent. “In. all fairness due allowance must be made for the decreased value of the dollar, the majoi portion of which Is re {acted In the maintenance of State Institutions only. But making due allowance fr rhia fact a comparison of the expenditure# for salaries and expense*, ether tha- th maintenance of State Institutions discloses an Increase of more than 300 per cert, the totals being. 1911 $1 .*42.581 On while In 1920 the total was $0.736,311*0.

This the highway commission. whose .expenditures were $2,447.87821—51,091.55299 bring for salaries and expense while only $1,430,086.41 were expended In the construction of roads. The public service commission, which in 1911 was the railroad commission, expended $38.336 32 while In 1920 the expenditures were $160,140.58 salary and expenses, au Increase of better than +‘■o per cent. In 1911 a group of small State agencies, for conservation, cost the taxpayers $112,622.15. These agencies were later consolidated into the conservation commission for the alleged purpose of saving the State a great deal of expense, yet In 1920 that eommiaslon cost the State $176.8tM.69 a saving on the wrong side of the balance sheet of $64,182.53. “Wbat your commute has said concerning abnormally Increased Stats government expense, applies with equal force to local governments.

the time Is most opportune for a campaign in the interest of the elimination of commissions, looking to a curtailmont of public expenditures. The question of taxation i* an economic problem aud every citizen Is Interested in a correct and equitahla valuation of property but the only absolute guaranty of a reduction of the rax burden is curtailment of expenditures and extravagance and the only positive way of curtailing expend! tures is by absolute limitation. First, on valuation for taxation; second, ,<n the tax rate, and third, on the borrowing power. Without auch limitation no constitutional revision whatsoever, however well Intended will remedy the situation. REMOVE CAUSE TO Cl BE MALADY. “The advocates of a change In our const.tut ion are saying, let us face conditions #s they exist which ar# working great Injustice upon the citizens of our State. We charge that no malady was ever cured by applying remedies Until the cause was removed. The defenders of the proposed a mend menu are saying that the remedy for the present tax situation Is a classification of property; giving no thought to the cause of t ie situation. They are heralding to the public that the only object to tie attained is tlit classification of property tor the purpose of taxation. If that be true and that be all that I* desired, why strike from the constitution all other legislative restriction*? 14 hv was not the amendment as originally drafted submitted to the people for their consideration? Said original uraft reads a* follow*; ‘ ‘The General Assembly shall provide by law for the assessment of property for taxation and the raising of revenue thereby, and shall prescribe such regulations as shall secure a just valuation for taxation of all property, both real and personal, excepting such only for municipal, educational literary, aclentlflc, religl ous or charitable purposes, as mx; be especially exempted by law In thus enacting laws for the assessment of property for taxation, the General Assembly shall have power to classifv the scvefal kinds of property subject to taxation and to levy a tax on each class of property at such rate as it may deem wise and etfuifable without regard to the rate applied to other classes of property, but all taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects, withio th territorial limit* of the authority levying the tax.’ " WHY WASN’T DRAFT SUBMITTED? , Agaiiyc W e ask if classification is the paramount reason for this amendment, why was not the foregoing draft submitted to the public? It most adeS uately provides for classification In ie most unambiguous language, yet provides ample legislative restrictions This draft was submitted and resuLmitteii Wo different group* of men and finally to the Legislature, all jf whom whittled and whittled and whittled It down until it has become moat dangerously thin, so thin In fact that It may be plied In any direction. It consists of little more than one Hue, reading as follows: “ The General Assembly shall pro vide by iaw for*a system of taxation." “Fader the authority granted therein, there is no limit to the property that I may be exempted, there is no limit to file rate that may be appl ed and under its provision a radical Legilature could and might enact the tingle tax law and there by place the whole Lortien of tax on real estate or upon any other one class of property. The advocates of those amendments do not deny these possibilities, in fact they say in their published pamphlet ou these amendment-, that ‘The proposed amendments will remove all restrictions on the power of the Legislature over taxation. Accordingly, laws could be passed Imposing a tax on any kind of property, service*, rights, privileges, franchises or incomes: the rate of fixation on one kind of property could be fixed higher or lower than on an- ] other; different kinds of property could be assessed at different valus ! aud all kinds of property could be I subjected to taxation or the list of j exempted proper'}- could be extended | to include more than it does uow.’ i SEEK TO SADDLE ; IOBBV OV rIBLIC.* By their own admissions the adherents l to the proposed amendments are preparing to saddle on to our future Legislatures the most sinister lobby that ever cursed a eotmnniwealtlK w'lilie throwing to the four winds the time hone, -m) principle that certainly is a prune requirement In taxation. "Tour committee wishes to go on record as In no way opposing a Ju*t aud eouitabl olassificat' nos i ope y ""or the purpose of taxation, but L likewise wishes to go ou record is unalterably opposed to the proposed amendments shorn of all legislative restrictions vs a means of securing such a property classification. IV* have listened to a number of discussions ami have been presented with some sble briefs relative | to the power of the Legislature to classify property under our present constitution. This power has been recognized by the legislative body in numerous instance* and the classification so made upheld by our supreme Court but that classification o-vty went to me power to arete or rather the power to secure TaJtfiJtlon. which Is in effect only nariui classification. To have complete claasiflcifun, the assessing unit must have powr to classify as to asses-ment* and •a t* rate*. The latter of which Is ex- • . V forlvGWer, hv the nr r consti-

tution which says: "The lieneral As- : sembly shall provide by law for a unti form and equal rate ol assessment and j taxation.' I “ he opponents of the amendments are charged by its proponents with being ! unduly exercised over the lack of lsgta- , lative restrictions In these tax amendments, and yet they themaeire* are Seeking to restrict the Legislature In two of the amendments offered for consideration on Sept. 8 A removal of all legislative j icJtrlctlon* would be a long step backward. A recurrence of the arbitrary methods tbat caused the foundation of our Kepubllc. The chief bulwark of couatitutioual government 1a the power of the pc pie to llm.t icgltlaflvc enactments and if coustituticnal government is to endure we must approach with measured steps any provision that seeks to untie the hands of our legislative bodies. “Tour committee considers in Income tax the must Just ami equltltde means of raising revenue. It is so recogn zed by tiie lending economists and has been proclaimed .nce the da sos Grovi-r Cleveland. An income tax that would email upjn eve-.v beneficiary of Government who has an income, be it a salary a wage > or anv other sort of compensation, an i equitable contribution f r Government j upkeep would be unequivocally Just and 'undamentally sound. TIME NOW TO CALC >1 W T. i “We conclude, therefore, that, there Is : no virtue in the pr posed real property j tax amendment, aud In view of the nce- ! slty for real curtailment of extravagance, ■ we are even fundamentally and finally opposed to It. It strongly tends to cause j the public to remove the eye from the ball of economy by Its inference that | classification and exemptions from tax j will relieve the public from tax burdens. It stimulates extravagance by the unlimited power placed In i tie hands of the Legislature. It i* In violation of the fundamental doctrine of constitutional government. It Is un embossed Invitation to every special Interest In the State or having property therein, to senrl Its i dear amb us curll to the legislative body there to Intercede in behalf of the people ! i. e., ‘the spe. ial Interests,’ to have the 1 legislators shift the burden of tax from i the Atlas shoulders of certain Interests, alleged ‘the people,’ wiih a thundering thud, upon the stooped backs of the unrepresented rest of us. It is time to call a halt on the laying out of primrose ( paths to morn oppressive taxation, and . make some repairs on the old way to honest public economy." RAIL RELIEF FLAN AMOUNTS TO LOAN Government to Furnish $500,000,000 for Roads’ Use. \ WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—The Administration's railroad relief plan amounts in effect to a loan of $300,000,000 to the roads by the Government., Eugene Meyer, chairman of the War Finance Corpora tion. admitted today under sharp questioning by members of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee. Committee ! members, by their questions, drew from [ Meyer a series of statements which, summarized, amounted to thl*. j That the Government has already j loaned the railroads $500,009,000 for which securities have been taken and : now propose* to provide $.500,000,000 : more by the sale of the same securities j that there will be no net. liquidation of the railroad's obligations. | Opposition to this course was voiced by Senators Pittman. Nevada, and Smith. South Carolina, Democrats, and by La Kollette Wisconsin, Republican. In an effort to show that the bill originated in Wall street La Follette dug Into its history. | “I suggested it to Secretary of the | Treasury Mellon, Secretary of Commerce ! Hoover, and the President,” .said Meyer. | “Were you present when President I Harding discussed the plan at a confer- | once with bankers?" asked La Follette. j “f wasn't and I don't know that It over was so discussed,” replied Meyer. “Do you know about Secretary Hoover's trip to Now York to discuss it with railway executives?" “No. I don't know he made such a trip.” La Follette declared tha proposed $300.000uOO fund to be given the roads un- , der the Administration pian would bring Government loans to the railways ' to a total of $1,359,000,000. I Meyer disputed this on the ground that i ihe $-500,000,000 transaction proposed j would be "a substitution” for a similar por:ion of $059,000,000 already loaned or advanced. " c U. S.

The allies decided to preserve strict | neutrality with no Intervention in ths shape of military or credits assistance j There will be no interference with private commerce. The decision was reached on the advice of Lloyd George. He pointed out that America in 1914 adopted the same course, taking no part In the conflict on either side, but permitting private comrneroe to handle Its own affairs. Col. George Harvey, American observer at the conference, broke hi* silence, luring the discussion to say that such a course could be defended legally. Premier Lloyd George was charged with using “strong arm" tactic* In forcing an allied agreement on tie partition of Upper Silesia. Typical of comment oa the supreme council session yesterday In which the premier swung the gathering to the British view of the situation was the complaint of “Pertinax” in the Echo de Psris. “Britain has forced t# to accept a Downing street settlement on the penalty of being abandoned by th# entente.

This note, stating : “your life Is In danger" was signed “A Friend.” FATHER TELLS OF WARNING. His son web ureasy "for a week or so,” J, B. Kennedy, the father stated. “I pressed him for the reason,” Kennedy said. “He told me that he had met Mrs. Obenchain at the Alexandria Hotel and that she had fallen on her knee* before hloi and urged him to marry her. "'Marry me Belton! Marry me I I can't live without you,’ he quoted her as et. Ting. "He said this woman begged him for a gun. saying she wanted to kill herself. “ 'Belton, you marry me or I will kill myself—but I wont hurt you,' he said she told him.” Officials believed Kennedy may have had some other warring of danger. At the end of a conference of four and one-half hours between District Attorney Thomas Lee Wool wine and Mrs. Madalynne Obenchaln, held as a material witness in tho mnrder, the former announced that he would place all the fact* before the grand Jury tomorrow. A coroner's Jury late yesterduy found that "Kennedy came to his death from a gunshot wound Inflicted by persons unknown with the intent to commit murder." While the district attorney was locked In a chamber session with the enigma woman, Arthur C. Burch, held la the county jail as a suspect, wne closeted with deputy district attorneys, who sought in vain to obtain a statement from him Burch was evasive throughout and answered ail attempts to question him with "I have nothiug to eay." While Woolwine refused to discuss his long Interview with Mrs. Ohenchain. It 'was unofficially reported that indictments will be asked against both Burch and Mrs. Obenchaln. BURCH GETS PROTECTION Carefully premeditated protection given Arthur C. Burch, held as the suspected slayer of J. Belton Kennedy, by Mrs. Madalynne Obenchaln. Kennedy's beautiful sweetheart and Burch's "platonic friend” Is blocking the investigation of the case. It was charged at the district attorney's office today. Expressing direct doubt of important parts of Mrs. Ohanchain's story of Ken-' nedy's murder, Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes revealed for the first time that the woman became greatly agitated when she learned Burch was under suspicion and followed her outburst by refusing to answer any questions which might involve him. Keyes stated to an Internati> al News flervlce representative that when Mrs. Obenchaln made her statement immediately after the murder she failed to mention Burch's name at all, det-.dte the fact that she was asked to give every possible pieye of Information which might aid the authorities in solving the crime. "'Had If not been that we received our information concerning Burch from another source, it Is doubtful whether he ever would have been brought into tho case," Keyes said. "When we confronted Mrs. Obenchaln with the evidence involving Burch she went up 111 the air. Until then she answered *ll questions freely. After that hr attitude changed and whenever 'we asked her questions concerning Burch she refused to answer them.” District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine completed his preparations today for going before the grand jury with the facts of the case on Thursday. Letters which passed between Kennedy and Mrs. Obenchaln showing a cooling of the broker's love for the beautiful divorcee will be presented to the grand Jury. Statements credited to Burch that he came to Los Angeles from the home of hi* minister father In Evanston, 111., at the request of Mrs. Ohenchain, a sweetheart of college days, will also be presented to the grand jury. Other evidence will include statements made by Burch that Mrs. Ohenchain visited him in bis room at the Russell Hotel, across from Kennedy's office, while disguised with a wig. From the room occupied by Burch, it would be easy to spy on Kennedy’s movements across the street.
