NEW CORPORATION
TAX PROPOSED

gross earnings tax on public SER
vice corporations, to be paid TO the
State in lieu of the present form of
local taxation on these concerns, is
one of the innovations the commission
on the reform and revision of the rev.
enue laws Will propose to the Legts-
lature next month.
The commission has completed its
report, which will be ready for distri-
button before the Legislature convenes.
The gross earnings tax for public SER
vice corporations. while it would work
revolution in the California tax sys-
tenn, would, it is believed, relieve the
general taxpayer from direct contri-
button to the States revenue, as it has
done in other State, notably Mime
sofa. Wisconsin also secures its en-
tire State revenue from the public SER
vice corporations, but by system of
direct taxation.
The commissions proposal is to
separate entirely State from local
taxes The idea is that with a gross
earnings tax on public service corpora
lions the State would not levy a tax
on general property. as it does now.
And while the several communities
would lose the revenues they now de-
rive from the local taxation of these
corporations, it is estimated that the
proposed plan would work to them an
annual saving IN excess or s4,OOVO0O-
The corporations the commission pro-
poses to withdraw from local taxation
are railroads. including, street rail-
ways, car companies. express COM
panies, heat. light and power COM
panies, tel agraph and telephone com
panies, banks and insurance COM
panies.
The banks are not to be included
in the general gross earnings scheme
They are to be taxed through their
stockholders, the commission propos-
ing a rate of one per cent on the
amount paid in on stock subscriptions
plus accumulated surplus, the banks
to be allowed credit for any local taxes
paid on real estate. Nevada is the only
other State following the antiquated
California system of taxing banks,
which, it is claimed. is prolific of temp
tation for tax evasion.

BIG FLOOD
COSTS LIVES
Of5OPEOPLE

! formation received here late last
night, it is believed that the town OF
Clifton, Arizona, has been practically
washed away. The Copper Queen h.
tel is said to have been swept away

centrator dam giving away, preclpi-
tating a great flood upon the town

obtained, Mrs. Joseph Throm, who.
with her husband and children vas
caught in a falling building and killed.
Other members of the family Gad
narrow escapes. The saloon, which
was washed away, carried several
men into the torrent and they are pc
lieyed to have been drowned.
A woman and child were lost in a
small restaurant which was dashed
to pieces in the flood A number u
small frame buildings in which people
were known to b. living were also
destroyed and 1t is feared that num-
Der of families perisheC.
