Plan Not Devised

The issue between the President and
the Democratic party is not one Of tax
reduction or of the conservation of
capital 1t is an issue of relative bur
den of taxation and of the distribution
of capital as affected by the taxation
of income The President still stands
on the so-called Mellon plan, which his
party has just refused to indorse or
mention in its platform.
The income tax was intended as a
tax upon wealth. 1t was not intended
to take from the poor any part of the
necessities of life. We hold that the
fairest tax with which to raise reve-
nue. for the federal government is the
income tax. We favor Il graduated tax
on incomes, so adjusted as to lay the
burdens of government upon the tax
rayers in proportion to the benefits
they enjoy and their ability to pay.
We oppose the So-called nuisance
taxes, sales taxes and all other forms
of taxation that unfairly shift to the
consumer the burdens Of taxation. We
refer to the Democratic revenue mea-
sure passed by the last Congress as
distinguished from the Mellon tax plan
as an illustration Of the policy of the
Democratic party. We first made n
flat reduction of "a per cent upon the
tax of all incomes payable this year
and then we so changed the proposed
Mellon plan as to eliminate taxes upon
the poor, reducing them upon moder-
ate incomes and, in lesser degree,
upon the incomes Of multimilllonaires.
We hold that all taxes are unneces-
sarily high and pledge ourselves to
further reductions.
We denounce the Mellon plan as n
device to relieve multi-milliOnnires at
the expense Of other taxpayers, and
we accept the issue of taxation ten
dered by President Coolidge.
Agriculture
During the four years of Republi-
can government, the economic condi-
ton of the American farmer has
changed from comfort to bankruptcy,
with all its attendant miseries. The
chief causes for this are:

FumigatiOn of
Persons Told
of By Autoist

! De Witt B. Williams, who passed
quarantine recently while enroute
from San Diego to Imperial Valley
has written an interesting account
of his experiences.
"a sense of humor is a valuable
thing to have handy" he writes
"When you approach the county
line you can see line of figures
which at first look like Ku Kluxers
without the headdress, but on close
inspection materialize into citizens
being fumigated.
"All persons entering the county
must be fumigated and there's no
monkey business about it either.
Everything is in deadly earnest. If
you are from San Diego your auto
is allowed to proceed after it has
beens thoroughly sprayed and all
baggage opened and fumigated.
"The passengers are lined up
and politely requested to step into
canvas bags, which are drawn up
over the body and tied tight around
the neck, arms and hat inside.
White-robed, but unhooded and at
the mercy of the law, you await
your doom. A. can containing the
disinfectant is then placed at the
bottom of the bag and for three
minutes the penetrating vapor does
its deadly work. A few, wisps of
the powerful gas escaping through
the folds of the bag about the neck
may reach your nostrils and almost
strangle you. You are powcrless to
seek relief. Your hands, within the
bag, vainly strive to loosen the
cord about your neck. You are in
deed a prisoner.
Never did three minutes seem so
long. You watch the hand of thr
guard s. watch hung on the tent
wall H. few, feet away, slowly drag
along, provided your eyes are not
too filled with tears. At last the
guard calls the. time and unties the
bag. You lose no time and thank
fully step out and take the ticket
given you, which permits you to re-
sumo your journey.
I" By these effective measures I'M
perial county hopes not only to keep
from its borders the dread disease
which is working such havoc in
other portions of the state, but to
eliminate the valley from the quar-
antine imposed by other states on
products from. the entire state of
California. This would allow the
great cantaloupe crop, now form
ing and valued at millions of dol
lars to, go to market. These severe
quarantine regulations will go far to
impress other states in our favor.

Gives Away Her
Wealth and Then
Becomes Cook
by United Press Leased Wire

OAKLAND, Cal, April 19.-Mrs.
Eta Brock, wealthy Long Beach
woman, willed away her 100000
estate and committed "living
suicide" TO satisfy an inexplicable
whim, Oakland police were convinc-
ed today.
Officers Investigating the report
ed dis; ppearapce and suspected
death of the Long Beach woman
have satisfied themselves that a
woman bearing the same name,
working as cook for an Oakland ply
sieian, is the "sphinx woman of
Long Beach.
The woman denies that she and
the wealthy Mrs. Brock are the
same. Diyested of the red wig she
has been wearing, the woman :
appearance tallics exactly with
that of Mrs. Brock of Long Beach.
Finding no charges to lay again:
q person who puts her tffairs IN
good order, then decides to become
u somebody else, police officials
said today they plan no further
moves in the ease.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
MAKERS OF HOMES
THAT ARE USEFUL

A small bottle should be kept in
the machine drawer to hold broken
needles, Too frequently we are
careless with these broken bits or
else we mix blunted needles with
our good ones and cause trouble
later ON.
Most of us women dislike the
care of the stoves on account of
the condition in which it leaves our
hands. A 10-cent pair of canves
gloves are convenient to keep in the
house TO slip on before tending
to these arduous duties and prove
II great saving to the hands.
An old tennis racket makes
good carpet beater.
y teaspoon of pulverized alum in
with the stove polish will produce
n brilliant luster.
a thin coating of sizing on the
back of a Brussels rug will stiffen
it and cause it to lie flat.
If fat is put in the oven to rem
der out, all danger of burning will
be avoided and odor prevented from
spreading through the house.

A,O91 WILLYS-
OVERLANDCARS
SOLD IN MARCH


Surprising all previous monthly
production records withsa. production
of 24,09l ears for March, the con
spicuously strong position of WHY'S
Overland during the pass few weeks
is now shown. to be. fully warrant
ed. The company also exceeded
any, previous quarter with a total of
6s,4Sl ears for the first quarter of
this year.
WillysO Overland production for
the first quarter of 1923 was a. ,470
cars, which in itself was a very
large increase over the same per-
iod for the previous year, but this
year S production is an increase of
81 per cent over the same period,
last year. Shipments reached their
high point on March 81 when the
total was 1885 ears.
The steady and remarkable pro
grcss of the illys.Overland Com
pany during the pas three years
has been one OF the outstanding
achievements of the industry. In
1921, Willys-Overland sales were
1926; 1922. 92,Ss6; 1923, 200,S04,
and the schedule for 1924 is 800, 700,
covered by commitments from deal
ers, a planned increase of 50 per
! cent for this year.
Only seven manufacturers built
more than 100000 cars each Lass
year. These seven built nearly 90
per cent of all the cars. In the first
three months of 1924, WHY'S Over
! land showed an increase of 5i per
cent over the first quarter of 1928,
the largest incrcaSe among all of
! these seven leaders,

Without stop. except for gasoline
and sandwiches Charles Goldtrar
and AL Lewenthaul, acting deputy
postman, for Uncle Sam IS postal ser.
vice in Arizona, stuck to their job
continuously for two days, Is hours
and 10 minutes, driving 1854 miles
over some of the toughest roads
steepest grades and deepest mud
holes in the Southwest.
The stamina displayed by. these
young men was shared by their
sturdy automobile-an Essex Six
touring car-which, in, the face of
almost unsurmountabl D.. conditions
survived this gruelling test and
came back to Phoenix with a rec
ord few, if any, ears have ever made
in. America.
Twenty three miles per gallon of
gasoline, 33aS miles per gallon OF
oil and an average of 26la miles, an
hours during the. total elapsed time
was the official record piled ,up by
Uncle Sam s choice of ears, in test
ing out this emergency service over
a route covering the principal cities
Of Arizona and to nearby cities be
yond the. border, in New Mexico and
California.
At the conclusion OF the run
Postmaster Nicholson of Phoenix
complimented- the Hudson, Essex
branch in Phoenix, saying in. sub
stance, that the accurate reports OF
postal deliveries and extremely low
cost of making such a, long strenu
Gus journey emphasized the rcliabil
ity of motor ear delivery of United
States mail for emergency service
when. other. methods of deliver,
might fail.
Some idea of the distance covor
ed may be gained from the FAC
that, had the ear started from. Lo:

with black in squares worn. in Paris
today. Every now and then one of
these squares is filled in with a real
checker pattern in white and black.
While the hat is worn very low
on the head in Paris today, some

tilted back. They have a brim
sloping upward in front so as to
leave much of the forehead uneov-
