MNUTT SEES CHADS IN TAX PLAN OF 6.0.P.

Four-Point Program Would Bankrupt State, He Says.

The four-point tax program incorporated in the platform adopted by the Republican state convention would cause utter chaos in the financial fabric of the state, Gov. McNutt declared last night in his Weekly radio address. “During the last week the people of our state saw presented for their consideration a tax program which not only would bankrupt the state, but would bankrupt every taxing unit in the state,” the Governor said. The program as adopted would mean either the closing of schools, or saddling the full cost again upon local communities, he asserted.

Planks Unsound

“It called for fhe repeal of the gross income tax law, the elimination of the emergency clause in the $1.50 law, the slashing of the gasoline tax, the elimination of 12 cents of the 15-cent property tax state levy and many other equally economically unsound . planks,” thie Governor said. “This would mean that local government could not function; that bond issues would not sell nor could present bonded debt be retired, nor be refunded,” he declared. Explaining the $1.50 tax levy, the Governor said that 11 counties had attempted to operate under this plan and the result was, “tremendous deficits in operating revenues.” Criticising the proposal to enact 8 net income tax law,” he said, “it would not raise sufficient revenue, and a sales tax goes squarely upon the shoulders of the working men and women and those least able to pay.” Property” Tax Cut Taxes on rural property have been reduced under the state's system of replacement taxes, which include gross income, inheritance, liquor and intangible taxes, Governor declared. He charged that taxes are too high, “not because of the Indiana plan, which has become a model for the nation, but because in many communities the citizens generally are unconcerned with the tax situation until they get their tax receipts in the spring or fall. “The respohisibility for further reduction in taxes is placed squarely on the shoulders of the people,” he declared, “they have the machinery 40 bring about further reduction. The state is doing its part.”

the Travers company. Natalie Preston, who lives at the same club as Gail, sees an advertisement in the “personal” column of a newspaper asking for information about Peter Everett or his heirs. She writes a reply, and later meets a Mrs. Barton and tells her about Gail. Natalie does not know Mrs. Barton is an employe of the Trave ers company. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN AN DRAFFEN rose from the bench outside Jed Hoskeer’s shack. “Well, so long, fellows,” he said. “Got to get home now. Going to town tomorrow. Anything you want?”

“Reckon not,” Jed answered. “Got pretty well loaded up with supplies the other day.” “How about you, Mark?” “I wouldn’t mind if you'd bring me some tobacco.” He handed Draffen a dollar. “Thanks, old man.” “Oh, that’s all right. Always glad to do anything for a neighbor.” Whistling for his dog, Draffen took the path to the Rancho Angelo. “Obliging sort of chap—Dan Draffen,” Jed remarked. “Yes, but has it ever struck you—" Mark paused. Dare he voice his thoughts to old Jed Hoskeer who, at times, seemed as though his mind might be affected? “What's that?” asked Jed. Then he whispered hoarsely, “Guess I know what you're thinking. I've been thinking the same myself—ever since Rex Hall came out that night. Draffen’s getting mighty anxious about our welfare. But say, he don’t know a thing more than he did before—just that I'm going to get even with the Travers bunch.” “Well, how're you going to do that?” » # »

T= old man spat vigorously, then shook his head. “Guess all I can do is—wait!” “What would you say, partner, it I told you I've got the very card in my hand that you've been looking for to take the trick?” “You mean, you've something on them, too? It wasn’t exactly by accident you happened down the canyon?” Jed took his pipe from his mouth. “Just that, Jed! But we've got to be mighty careful about this. Now, if you—,” again Mark paused. Would he defeat his own ends if he told the old man, he wondered. “Well, you can depend on me. I can keep my mouth shut when I want to, just so long as we get even with Travers and his crowd.” “We'll do that, but you'll have to cut out all your rampaging against them, and do exactly as I say. .Remember, I have the winning card.” “Well, Mark, I don’t know where you got. it, but I'm willing to stand you.” “All right. Reckon we'd better get inside, for I'm not taking chances on any one hearing about this.” He led the way into the shack. Two hours later Jed exclaimed, “Well, I guess you think I've been pretty dumb, falling into the Travers’ plans like I did instead of making some investigations. Here's the address of that fellow I told you about. I ain't got it written down, for I always keep things like that in my head—" He repeated the address of Giles Harding's New York law office. “That’s fine,” said Mark. .

“I'm afraid the pen’s a bit rusty. I don’t use it very often.”

only a little nipper, they said—not more’n 13.” “That's right,” Mark" told him, sealing the envelope. “Guess the mailman will have stamps.” “yes, and maybe you'd betfer get one of them airmails—they say your letters go faster with them.”

cigar was wafted along the cor=

ridors of the magnificent New York offices of the Travers Mining and Development Co., every one felt a sudden thrill of excitement. The]: fragrant smoke announced the arrival of the president, and with Cal Travers’ appearance fireworks always started.

“Well,” he boomed, when he en-| bling.

tered the manager's office, unheralded except for the perfume of his cigar, “have you got that Everett property yet”? “No!” I've discovered Everett left a daughter—she’s the only: heir.” “Umph, and what are you going to do next”? Travers interrupted. “I'll write Rex Hall and have ‘him send her an offer for the Rancho Angelo.” . “Write!” snarled Cal Travers. “When every minute counts! When we must have that ore. What's the telephone for? Will it never enter your thick head that when I say I want action I want it? Get Rex Hall on the wire.” ” » os ERTRAM GAGE called the operator. Then, waiting while she put through the call, he said, “We got one bite with that personal ad and I sent Mrs. Barton—" “I'm not interested in the details. That's your business. Have you a report on this? Let me see it,” Cal said sharply. The room was blue with smoke when the telephone tinkled and Bertram Gage announced Rex Hall was at the other end of the line. Tersely Cal Travers gave his orders. . The Rancho Angelo must be secured immediately—the very existence of the company depended on that—but diplomacy must be used. No special delivery letters should be sent to the owner, and, under no conditions, must she know that the Travers concern was interested in its purchase. “Get busy immediately. Offer $10,000 cash if the deal is put through in 10 days. Tell ‘her the place is nothing but a pile of rocks but you're an artist and want it for a studio. Tell her anything you like, s8 long as you can get ‘the place, Be ready to fly in case I need you here.” With a snort, he slammed the receiver in its cradle and left the .office. : : 8 # # “NV DAME has just telephoned.

“Rosemary!” Gail gasped with relief, and all her forebodings fled. “Dick tells me you've got a wonderful job here.
