IN COAST TOWNS
(By United Press Assoclation.)

San Francisco, July ia plan to
more than double the area of San

extends an almost uninterrupted line
of small municipalities including Red
wood City, San Mateo, Burlingame,
Daily City, Menlo Park, South San

is to bring them into the city by in
cooperating San Francisco and San
Mateo counties.
Representative committees have
been appointed to draft bill for pre-
sentation to the legislature, authoriz-
ing the incorporation. This commit
tee includes officials of the cities and
towns involved. Better water and
transportation are among the induce
ments offered.

MEN OF MILLIONS FIND WAY
TO DODGE PAYING THEIR
INCOME TAX TO UNCLE SAM

(By United Press AssOciation)
Washington, July 14.-The rich, it
was learned here today, have found
a way to dodge paying their federal
income tax. The poor pay it for them.
The treasury department has infor-
nation that we'll to do persons will
not buy stocks and bonds unless the
corporation they buy them from con-
tracts to pay the income tax on them.
The corporation selling the stocks and
bonds agrees to do this, then just
adds the income tax to the retail price
of its goods to the public. Thus the
so, $50 or $50 a week citizen, when
he buys an article of wearing apparel,
food, tools, instruments, machinery or
whatnot, may be paying the income
tax of his plutocratic neighbor.

GIVE THE BABY
A CHANCE

Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding,
poverty, dirt, ignorance, heat these
combine in summer to kill the city
baby. 1t seems as though the brunt
of the cities sanitary sins were TO-
cused on the baby. The baby didn't
ask to come, to live in a hot, dark, air
tight tenement, to be fed on dirty,
half spoiled milk, to be pestered with
flies and mosquitoes. He is not re-
sponsible for any of these conditions
and it is his right that he have fresh
air, clean surroundings and decent
food. The United States Public
Health Service issues free of charge
to all applicants a bulletin on "The
Summer Care of Infants" 1t should
be in the hands of every mother.

cident on the Biron road in which
Charles Jelonick had his shoulder
broken was not caused by an automo-
bile, but was caused by the man fall
