"SECOND PLACE"

One of the remarkable features of the present
tonal campaign is the change that has come the
vice presidency.
1t used to be that picked for second place
the tickets regarded uniportant both before
and after election. They were hardly considered in
dviduals at all They were institutions. They were
necessary tail to the presidential kite. They
supposed to assist in the campaign by the contribution
of more less personal prestige and geographical in
fluence, but their speeches unmportant, and re-
stricted mostly to commonplaces and stereotyped
statements of the party doctrine. They mere
echoes of the presidential candidates.
Now it is very different. We find three live vice
presidential candidates in the field each considered
genuine individuality, each coming out and making
speeches in his right declaring policies and doc
trines which show nothing of the rubber stamp and
sometimes have visible connection with the party
platform the utterances of the head of the ticket
This is revolutionary procedure. If our method of
presidential campaigning had any constitutional war
rant might find frightened citizens objecting to it
contrary to the Constitution.
1t is excellent thing however to have vice pres
dental candidates emerging persons even per-
sonages. 1t means attention to that office in
party conventions in elections and between times and
may result eventually in the nomination of who
is not regarded by his party really qualified for first
place.

Income Tax Is
Payable Sept. Is

Income tax bills for the quarter
ly payment due September Is have
been mailed to $4,000 Southern
California taxpayers who are meet
ing their taxes on the installment
plan, Collector of internal Revenue
Rex. B.. Goodcell announced to-
day.
Collector Goodcell said that the
unpaid balance shown on the bills
is the net amount due the Govern
ment, the 25 per cent reduction
having been deducted. The tax
payer may pay the entire balance
by September Is and thereby close
out his tax account or he may pay
one-half of the amount before Sep
tember Is and the other half on. or
before December Is. In order to
clarity the atmosphere regarding
the bills sent to taxpayers, Collector
Goodcell explained the procedure.
eff the tax you reported in your
income tax return was 800 and
you paid one-fourth of it or $25
on March 15, and .one-half or $3.50
on June Is, your bill will show b
net balance due of $780," he
said. "In other words, you paid
your entire March installment but
took credit for $3.50 on your June

THE RADIO LANGUAGE

\ AS soon as the practicabty of radio telephony
became established, it was clear that this mode
of communication would require, sooner or LATER an
nternatinal language. Wires strung mostly with
in countries or between countries speaking common
language Wireless recognizes boundaries of nation
or tongue AS broadcasting stations increase their
scope news and entertainment become international
and there is and more need of language medium
answering the purpose
Esperanto seems to be the thing. The American
Radio Relay League has decided in its favor after
muncating with all the national amateur radio So
ceties in the world Those expressing opinion all
declared for Esperanto, the leading auxiliary Ian
guage with the greatest number of adherents
1t is probably good choice. Esperanto is not
only more popular than Ido Voapuk and the rest but
is said to be easier to learn. Like any other language
natural or artificial it is especially easy if you learn
few other languages first Spanish is perhaps the most
useful in this respect.

THE NEW AMERICA

"The world is bidding for the favor of Latin
America remarks a Chatauqua lecturer He adds:
1T has become a section of the world that take
of the surplus population of other lands 1t
also produce materials for the entire world
There three big factors here which work to-
geher to make the friendship of Latin-America desr
able for older nations The industrial nations want
raw materials and greater markets for their fin
ished products The populous nations, crowding their
own territory, such countries as Italy particularly
want room for bhe. overt flows Latins4 4mericas espeoi
ally South America, has vast empty spaces to fill,
and great natural to develop the United
States had century ago. 1t is the America. 1t
is capable of absorbing hundreds of milins of imm
grants, and thereby increasing the output of ma
terials and the market for foreign goods
1t is natural, therefore for European countries to
regard this country in the last century There will
probably be waves of immigration rivalling those
which filled up much of the United States and made
it mighty economic empire.
Eventually Central and South America will come
to feel as the United States does that they have
reached the saturation point of immigration. In the
meanwhile the natural movement in that direction is
beneficial alike to Eurpe LatinAmerica and our own
land.
