There are signs that a new state taxation policy is
Jon the way. There are signs that the ad valorem tax
payers will be interested in the program to come in
the near future. A significant statement was made by
Sen. J. w. Stevenson, farmer and stock man Of the
Victoria district. at 8 meeting Of the state affairs
|committee when the sulphur tax bill was under con-
federation.
Sen. Joe Moore Of the Hunt district had introduced
an amendment which would have taxed other natural
resources. Sen. Stevenson, in reply, stated that he
would not favor more than a so cent tax on sulphur
and would not favor an additional tax on any other
industry at the present time for the reason that II
funds were provided they would lead TO "a carnival OF
|extravagance in the state government that would have
10 be taken care Of by the automatic tax board at its
meeting during the summer, AND WOULD RESULT
IN NO SAVING TO HI AT VALOREM TAX
PAYERS"
This in the face of the fact that Pres. H. Y. Bene-
dict Of the state university had bluntly stated else
where that state schools are starving for want Of
funds" Then came the significant part Of Sen Ste
venscn's statement. 1t was that he intended to in
troduce an amendment to the constitution at the
regular session of the And legislature; this amend
|ment would provide that the ad valorem, as now
collected. be applied solely to the maintenance OF
the counties and districts and that the support of the
state government be derived from taxes otherwise
levied, "such as the occupation tax, the gross re-
ceipts tax. and especially a tax on intangible values"
He declared the only important intangible tax now
collected is on railroads, that such concerns as large
cotton factors, in fact many lines of business, pay no
tax except a small corporation tax and the tax on
! visible property such as furniture and office buildings.
"
He then made the novel suggestion that he would
Mace in the constitutional amendment a provision
that within so days after its adoption, the governor
should call a special session Of the legislature; THIS
SESSION TO CONTINUE WITHOUT ANY L1MI-
TATIoN. AS PROVIDED IN OTHER PROVISIONS
OF THE CONSTITUTION, U TO CONTINUE IN
/ SESSION UNTIL IT HAD DEVISED A SYSTEM OF
TAXATION FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE
STATE GOVERNMENT, OTHERWISE THAN r
/ AN AID LoREM A ON FARMS, RANCHES, ON
TOWN AND CITY PROPERTY.
Senator Stevenson said that 1t was clear to him
! that from what had been exposed in the sulphur tax
Investigation and from what had been developed In
/ the matter Of income by other corporations that the
state government could easily be supported without

D proposes no commission to work this out, having
found from experience. he said. that the work Of

! sponded to by the legislature; but in his proposed
amendment he puts it up to the legislature. although
he added that he might provide in the amendment
that the legislature could adjourn from time 10 time

her parents, themselves not or the
old conservative school of New

tically all the rope she wanted.
They were IN Europe. She had an
older brother who was supposed to
share the cottage at Long Beach
with her as a sort Of make believe

him. He had his own apartment In

The party was we'll on its way to

whispered hurriedly as she rose to

there's still a cocktail for you, Greg.

take care OF the girl friend. After
that, we'll all 60 down and have a

"Oh, this Is lovely" Elanda took
her arm and they walked up TO the
porch like old pals. Aren't you a
lucky girl?"

smile and asked.
Elanda gulped.

She introduced her around the

she had misjudged her.

ready for the party. Dixie went with
her to buy her beach outfit.
There was a pajama suit OF green

O large green straw hat and green

IN a darker green. with a white

Elanda was on the light opera

studio and they started for Long

her life been quite so thrilled before.
She was in white from her head
to her feet-with a sport frock and
ciose-fitting soft straw hat. Her
auburn hair. splashed against the
white and cream OF her skin, gave
her a fresh young look that Greg
Du Pont could not resist.
He watched and studied her and

a little differently from the average.

as and spectrographs used by the
expedition.
The Polynesians were as excited
as the scientists themselves. Know
ing the anxiety of the astronomers,
who were fervently hoping for clear
visibility on Oct. 81, the day of the
total solar eclipse they had come so
, many thousands of miles to observe
the natives prayed for fine weather,
and when the day dawned perfect
for observation purposes, they
proudly strutted about, taking all
the credit for the occurrence.
From the point of view of scien-
tific achievement, the expedition
was tremendous success, members
of the Naval Observatory group de-
clared.
The powerful cameras, which had
been carefully carried to the little
South Sea island, recorded more
than 100 pictures during the SO Sc
conds that the moon covered the
suns face, and preliminary study
of the plates has already revealed
new scientific data.
Months of further study, under
microscopes at the Naval Observa-
tory at Washington will complete
the scientists task.
DR.. S. A. Mitchell of the Univer-
sity of Virginia was one of the civil
ian scientists who accomuanied the
naval party. His special interest was
the spectrograph, which, through
observations, revealed new facts a.
bout the suns corona.
DR.. Mitchell did not return on the
Sierra, but continued with his wife
on a world tour.
Besides Mrs. Mitchell, there were
two other women in the group. Mrs.
Weld Arnold and Mrs. Josef j.
Johnson.
Weld Arnold, of the National
Geographic Society, operated the
Einstein camera during the eclipse,
and hopes from his observations to
prove certain phases of the relativ-
ity theory.
Tales of danger were also told by
the returning astronomers. The day
they left the island on the u. S. S.
Tanager, a bowling gale was blow
ing. Native boatmen had to be ca
joled to aid in the embarkation,
and there was many a moment when
the scientists feared that the pre-
cious plates which represented their
months Of labor would 60 to the
bottom.
The ship finally cast off, but was
forced to slip its hawsers and sail
without retrieving lhen.
