SINCLAIR'S TAX SETUP CARRIES DRASTIC LEVIES Reformer Admits Capital Will Be Driven Out by His Program. This U '• h srrond of three articles from Ipton Sinclairs f impiijn Bonk on the triC risn. • I, Governor of California.-' explaining in the pat tene his future plans for redistributing ‘be states wealth. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7 I take it,'* Upton Sinclair told his followers on the eve of his spectacular campa.gn for Governor. hat we are agreed that the cause of our present depression is the concentration of wealth in the hands of a ; mali class.' The group, gathered in a Santa Monica hotel to start the Sinclair crusade a year ago also took it that way Whereupon the candidate outlined the second of his planned assaults on poverty, the equalization of wealth through taxation. "Income is going to be redistributed in the United States by one of two methods." the ‘•Governor" continued, "either by legal enactments or by violent revolution; and we have not much longer in which to make the choice Large Amount Needed A lot of money would be needed to finance the state land. l artory and security projects. So followed th e Sinclair taxation program. This was: 1. To repeal the sales tax. substituting a tax of four cents a share on all stock transfers. Let Wall Street pav the sales tax!” 2. To establish a state income tax of at least 30 per cent on all incomes beyond SSOOOO and graduate upward the state inheritance tax so the state will take one-half of all bequests above SSO 000; 3. To increase taxes on public utilities and banks; 4. To exempt from tax all homes and ranches worth $3,000 or less and graduate upward taxes on those worth S3OOO or more; 5. To impose a state land tax on all unimproved property worth more than SI,OOO. • Won’t that drive capital out of the state?" queried one of the Sinclair followers. Capital Will Leave "It will drive out money, of course." answered the Governor.” ‘ But it won't drive the land out and It w’on’t drive the factories out, and we do not have to worry about the cash, because if we put our people at productive labor they soon will create plenty of wealth in California, and w> can cheerfully do without the parasites and speculators. ‘ When word goes over the country what we are up to, there will be tens of thousands of able-bodied w orkers coming in our direction, and under the new system we can put them to work, and they will add to our wealth and taxing power. ‘ When w-e make the unemployed

To another question as to the ability of California to carry this load alone Sinclair cried out: "Why do we have to leave everything to the federal government? "Why do we have to trust our affairs to a bureau fn Washington? Whv do we have to assume that onlv Uncle Sam has any money? • We have boundless natural resources here in Calforma; we have willing labor: why can not we put our idle people to worb and make wealth, instead of having Washington rent it to u§, fastening a burden of debt on our children. They tell us we will not be able to raise the money to buy land and machinery in California. Well, I look at the financial statements and I discover that our people have nearly three billions of dollars with them. When as Governor I can say Tt is your duty as a citizen to take your money out of the private banks and let your state use it to put men and women to work, so that they can produce food for themselves and taxmg power for the state.' I believe that not, everybody in California will answer no." The group then took up the question of a symbol. "EPIC” ‘for End Poverty in California*. Mr. Sinclair suggested, would correspond to the nation's NIRA. And in place of the Blue Eacle he would start for Sacramento under the emblem of a golden bee. "I personally can get no enthusiasm for any kind of bird of prey." said the "Governor." "I like the bee. She not only works hard, but has means to defend herself and is willing to use them in behalf of the young.” Next: “Governor" Sinclair will tell about his security program and how he “won" the nomination and election.

U, S. AGENTS SET TO SPRING NELSON TRAP End for *Baby Face’ Hinted Near; Hamilton Is Reported Wounded. | By l nit rtf Prrss CHICAGO. Sept 7.—The sur- ' vivors of John Dillmgers murderous gang, almost penniless and I split by dissension, have degener- ! ated into prowling hoodlums and : petty thieves. Only one. George (Baby Face* Nelson, appears determined to write the final bloody chapters of the gang and his trail is being hounded by a relentless force of federal agents. Those in hiding fear to emerge and stage a holdup because of the ; heat” upon them. Funds are dwindling and hideouts are getting scarce. They're always on the jump, trying to keep ahead of the law. Others of the underworld, ruefully observing the fate of those who shielded Dillinger and his mobsters, are reluctant to give them shelter especially now that there is no big money to be had from them. Hiding in Wisconsin Nelson, plump-cheeked killer and prize quarry of the government agents, is in Wisconsin with three or four henchmen and is getting ready for anew holdup to recoup his dwindling funds, the United Press learned today from an official source. The department of justice has knowledge of Nelson's plans and the many hideaways of the Wisconsin woods—they have provided refuge for the gang on numerous occasions —are being searched. Baby Face is known to be well supplied with machine guns and ammunition and, based on experience. the government manhunters anticipate that his next raid will be in Wisconsin, Illinois or Indiana. Because of several instances of double-crossing and short-changing | in the division of loot Nelson is not i in good graces with other followers of Dillinger.

HITLER SCARED, IS ABNORMAL, PARLEY TOLD Adolf Guilty of Many, Many Things, Wisconsin Professor Says. By t inted Press NEW YORK. Sept. 7.—Dr. Joseph Jastrow, professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin, scientifically dissected Adolf Hitler at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association today and concluded that the reichsfuehrer is: A high grade psychopath. Terribly frightened. Guilty of overself-esteem. A fanatic of a following, not a leading, type. Suffering from delusions. Otherwise abnormal. “Is that all?” asked a listener. “Yes,” replied Dr. Jastrow, “that's all that's the matter.” The association, probing the works of the human mind, learned that 46 per cent of a group of students left alone with an answer book in an examination, “cribbed” the answers; that moving pictures affect the moral standards of children mostly on the side of laxity; that weak-mjnded strikers can band into a dictatorial mass and that professional men are a little on the feminine side. Socialists to Hold Meeting Clarence Taylor, Baltimore, national organizer and active trade unionist, will address a rally of the Fourteenth ward Socialists at 8 tonight at the hall at Howard and Reisner streets.
