j. W. PROF. FAVORS
LOWER TAXATION
STATE MILEAGE LEVY ON
PROPERTY THREE TINES AS
HIGH AS IN SOME OTHER
STATES

"There is now so completely de-
veloped in our state concensus of
opinion that the tax system should
be reformed at this session of the
Legislature, that failure to meet
this expectation may be fraught with
the danger Of unfortunate social and
political consequences" declared
Prof. Frank j. Laube, political
science department of the Univer-
sity of Washington. writing in the
icle, Seattle.
Discussing the underlying causes
of the statewide demand for tax
reform, Mr.. Laube notes that Wash
ington's tax burden has increased
$50 per cent since 1910, while as
sessed valuations have gone up but
80 per cent, and remarks that "While
the states population and industrial
life have been growing, the increas-
ing burden of government cost has
continued to rest on property in
vestment alone. This BURDEN" he
adds, Especially smothers the home
owner and the farmer, the two
classes upon whose stability and well
fare the stability and welfare of the
state so much depend"
"The statistics of tax levies and
Of government per capita costs"
Mr.. Laube says, demonstrate not
only that the burden of government
cost rests upon too narrow a base,
that of property, but that the reve-
ue base is too narrow to have I'M
dertaken the developments which we
have undertaken, or to have financed
them in the manner in which we
have financed them.
statistics further show" he de-
clares, "that in the state millage levy
on property for state purposes alone,
the rate runs more than three times
as high as in such states as Mime
sofa, Iowa, Illinois, Montana and
Oregon The same is true" he
holds, "of the per capita levy. Yet
purely governmental expense, outside
of outlays, is little higher, and in
some cases not so high.
Both state and city have wrong
ly visioned development and neces-
sity," Mr.. Laube believes. Tax mill
age which could have been deferred
have been levied, and developments
which could have been better timed
have been entered upon.
81 believe in the movement now
making such progress, for the linn
itation of the millage on property"
Prof. Laube concludes, adding that,
"the reform of the system alone
would not, however, be sufficient.
An adequate machinery of admins
tration must be developed" he says.
The present decentralized admin
istration, with inexpert service,
makes for gross discrimination be-
tween individuals and counties, vary
ing in unconvincing valuation, and
general failure Of uniformity and
efficiency"

W. RICHARDSON
MONEYS HOPE

San Francisco, Dec. 7. - That
nothing will be done by Governor
William d. Stephens to free Tom
Mooney and Warren X. Billings be-
fore he retires from office, is the
gist of two letters made public to-
day by the Mooney defense COM
mittee.
Some weeks following stephens
ter was sent to him by Fremont
Older, editor of the San Francisco
Call, in which was contained the re-
quest that he pardon Mooney and
Billings before retiring from office,
January 1, 1928.
Stephens reply to this request,
dated October %, in which he re-
iterates his previous stand on these
cases, says:
81 have not changed my mind
about these matters and therefore
cannot give the encouragement that
you desire"
Defeated at Primary
Stephens leaves office January /,
1923, as the result Of his defeat at
the primary election by Friend w
Richardson, surprise candidate,
who was elected Governor at the
general election over Thos. Lee
Woolwine of Los Angeles. Both
Stephens and Richardson ran on the
Republican ticket, but Richardson
promised, in the event of his cleo
ton, to accomplish a reduction in
the administration expenses and his
slogan was "Smash the Johnson Ma
chine!"
Fremont Older has been active in
defense of Mooney and Billings al
most since the inception of the
frameup, becoming convinced Of
their innocence following the testi-
mony of Frank c. Oman, "star"
perjurer for the prosecution. In his
letter to Stephens, after a brief re-
sumo of the high-lights in the tes-
timony against the convicted men,
Older said:
Older's Letter
"There is no one now in California
or elsewhere, who has followed the
case closely, who is not thoroughly
convinced that neither one of these
men was in any way connected with
the Preparedness Day crime. / re-
alize that the case has aroused a
great deal of feeling in California
and that there was very large
and powerful group of people who
felt that even though these men did
not commit this particular crime
they were bad men and it was bet
ter for them to remain in prison
for what they might have done prior
to this time, even though they were
there on false evidence. l think as
time passes, that these violent opin-
ions have subsidized, and those who at
one time held them have modified
them and would be, in their hearts,
glad if you were to release these
two prisoners. This has been such
a glazing case of the miscarriage of
justice in our courts, that | feel
quite sure that the vast majority of
the citizens of California would vel
come the clearing up of the case
once and for all. May l hope that
you will seriously consider this mat
ter before you retire from office ~

SHIP SUBSIDY TRICK

Washington, Dec. 14.-Friends
of the ship subsidy bill agreed to
amendments in the house which
strikes from the bill provisions
for paying a subsidy to the Stand
ard Oilcompany and other cor
pOratiOns which own their own
vessels. Now it is charged that
this was a trick to get the bill
through, as these companies will
receive the subsidy by the simple
expedient of forming ship-oper-
ating companies that will ''buy"
these ships. The capitalists that
own these industrial corporations
will organize these dummy cor
porations to buy the tankers of
the oil company, and the vessels
of the steel trust and the United
Fruit company. These sO-calIed
independent companies will then
get the business of the oil trust,
the steel trust and the fruit trust.
They will pay the usual ocean
rates and receive the subsidy from
the government. The money will
go into the pockets of the trust
owners by way of the ''independ-
ent'' companies.

COOPERATIVE LEAGUE PRO

The Cooperative League, the ma
tional headquarters of the Cooper
alive Movement, with headquarters
in New York, has vigorously pro
tested to Premier Mussolini of Italy
against the outrages committed by
the Fascist upon the Italian CO.
operatives. According to authorita-
tive information received by the CO.
operative League, the black-shirted
Ku KluX Khan of Italy have been
conducting a vicious fight against
cooperative societies. Through the
rule of the bomb and the stilleto,
the Fascist have not only captured
the government, but they have des-
troyed or confiscated the property
of hundreds Of co-operatives, and
have seriously interfered with the
operation of hundreds of other So
cieties.
During the past year, there have
been attacks upon cooperative So

TIMBERWORkERS
BACK AT s HOURS

The strike of our organization for
the 8 hour day at Weed, Cal, and
Klamath Falls, Ore, which began
on February %, is won, say the of.
ficials of the International Union of
Timberworkers.
We are now officially notified that
on December / the hour day was
agreed to at Weed, Cal, and in the
logging camps at Chiloquin, Ore,
official notice has been given by
the employers at Klamath Falls that
the 8 hour day will be agreed to on
December 16.
In making their announcement of
the return of the hour day, the
representatives of the Klamath Falls
employers are credited by the press
of that city with some statements
that will bear correction and it is
one of the purposes of this bulletin
to correct them. These employers
are quoted as follows.
at is a voluntary restoration of
the hour day, carrying out the
pledges that we made to our en-
ployes when operations were re-
sumed last May, following the tim
berworkers' strike. We promised
then that the nine hour day would
be maintained only as long as exist
ing conditions made it necessary,
and now that we find it possible to
return to the eight hour schedule, we
are keeping our pledge"
The truth of the matter is that
the employers in question did not
make any promises or pledges last
May or at any time to the effect
that they would return to the 8
hour day when Conditions" might
warrant it. The only offer that was
made to the Oregon State Board of
Cancellation (Which upheld our con-
tention for the hours) or to the
representatives of the United States
Department of Labor, or to the men
was the offer that they nailed on
the mill gates on the 2Sth of Feb
| ruary, and that offer was NINE
HOURS OR NOTHING.
Now they intimate that "condi.
| tons" have changed. They based
their whole claim for the nine houl
day on the fact that the mills in the
| South and in California were oper,
ating over 8 hours per day and that
| they could not successfully compete
with them if they operated on the
| 8 hours in Klamath that the mer
would seek employment in the nine
and ten hour mills in California anC
| the South and that they could no
keep men, a claim that was not true
| then, and is not true now.
