Queens Capture
Followed By Her
Immediate Death
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, May %. - The
capture Of the first termite queen
ever found in California, queen
quite capable of laying l09,500
eggs which would hatch to white
ants, was announced today by Al
fred Anscll Jr., entomologist and
termite specialist of Los Angeles.
The royal insect was taken from
beneath a pile of dirt and old laths
in Upland, was rushed to a labora-
tory here, weighed and Photographic
ed and now rests in state IN bottle
of alcohol. George Thoman, Whit
tier contractor, found the rare spe'
cimen.
The scarcity of termite queens,
according to Ansell, is accounted
for by the fact that they rarely
come above the earth. Usually the
royal chamber is found several feet
under the ground and the queen,
laying 1890 eggs year, remains
there through the % years of her
life.
The termite is one of the most
destructive pests in the United
States, according to Ansell.

STATE INCOME
TAX APPROVED
BY FARM BODIES

SACRAM ENTO, Calf, May 23.-
California farm organizations favor
a state income tax as a new source
t revenue should one become neces-
sdry to meet governmental expendi-
lures, according to IL report on file
with the California state tax com
mission today.
The tax commission, created by
the last legislature, is delVing into
the tax problems of the state, with
a view to recommending taxation
plan to the 1929 legislature.
Declaring that taxes beyond those
absolutely necessary to maintain
the economical and efficient admin
istration of government should be
discontinued, the report, submitted
by the California State Grange, and
the California Farmers Union, stres-
scd the point that the state should
reduce expenditures to fit the pres
cnt income rather than look for ncT
sources Of revenue.
Tax free securities are opposed
ly the report, as is the granting Of
large amounts Of tax free property
while Il reasonable Inheritance tax
is favored.
The report was signed by George
K. Harrison. master of the state
grange and h. Y. Garrod, president
Of the Farmers Union.
