SAYS CHAOTIC CONDITIONS
EXIST IN MANY States
BURDEN OF TAXATION FALLS
HEAVILY UPON REALTY
OWNERS

San Francisco, Aug. 14.--E, H. Woi.
colt, member of the Indiana state
Tax Commission, in an address to-
day before the ninth annual confer
ence of the National Tax Associa-
tion condemned general property tax
alton as it exists in some states as
ineffective and unenforcible." The
trouble was, he said, in taxing in
tangible property under general
law, such as mortgages stocks, bonds
and the like.
Mr.. Wolcott recommended as a sub
stitute a System of classification OF
certain properties for taxation pur-
poses" He cited the general proper
ties for taxation purposes" He cited
the general property tax law of lndi-
ana as one covering "a multitude of
sins, the sins of omission" under
which "the amount OF property that
escapes taxation cannot be definite
ly computed He said he had writ
ten to the taxing officers Of other
states '.laborlng under the same
law" and that from the replies re-
ceived 1T was really astonishing to
note the chaotic condition of the tax
ing laws in many states
"The burden of taxation he con-
tinued, "falls heavily upon those who
own real estate or whose personal
is visible or tangible. The
result is that each year the rate In
creases, and this increase causes more
sequestration, the more that is hid
den. the higher rates, and SO,
out OF step, general prop
arty taxation is ineffective, unenforc-
bile and creates disrespect and dis
regard for all laws"
While there were objections to a
tax, the speaker Gdvo-
Gated as a solution OF the problem a
law that should embrace low rate
81 income tax for intangible property.
Preferably" he continued, IAN in
come tax, as each individual should
to the support of the COM
munity proportionately as he profits
BY all the protection 1t affords to his
life and property and contributes to
his welfare and comfort
He concluded by advocating uni
form tax laws in all states.

tions occupied were slightly varied
in places. hut the general result is
that the area held at Anzac has been

gallantry and dash of the Australian

Should J. F. Biehl ever again be ar rested on an embezzlement charge he will get the full penalty of the law. This has been promised him by the county attorneys office and Judge de Souza, before whom he appeared yes terday on an embeZzement charge. Upon the request of the complaining witness, Jeff Duncan, Assistant County Attorney Leon s. Jacobs, asked that the case against Biehl and J. F. Green augh be dismissed it being one in which a compromise may be effected and at the same time he read the riot act to Biehl declaring that the payment of the money embedded would not save him another time.
 Judge De Souza in dismissing the action. said that just one month ago Biehl had been arrested for embezzle- ment on complaint of Frank Balanatto, the amount involved in this instance being $40.50. He referred sarcastically to BlehFs method of doing business

Two moonshiners, Louis Fausone an Italian market gardener, and A. To- ledo, were arrested last evening in connection with the affair.

 John Massey and an aged Mexican, Francisco Castillo, were returning from the river with a load of wood Near a little jacal on the avenue they were beset by seven drunkn Mxicans, who began unloading the wood and hammering it's owners Francisco had his hand nearly torn off in the fray Massey escaped and phoned Deputy Sheriff Jim Murphy who with Brakeman Day of the Espee, hurried to the scene in an auto. Murphy found Fausone and Toledo and arrested them. Others lay about drunk. Fausone admitted making wine. and Murphy came to town, got Sheriff Adams and Chambers auto truck, and went back 10 the jacal. There, in the presence of the press. they loaded two huge casks of perfectly good intoXicant and one of wine mash. just in process of fermenting, and brought them to town.
