STATE REALTORS
SEEK TO REMEDY
TAXATION EVILS

The following obiectives have
been adopted by the California Real
Estate Association, with respect to
state and local taxation, following
meetings in numerous parts Of the
state with leading economists and
tax experts, according to informa-
tion received by local members of
the association:
/. Equality in the application of
the tax burden.
>. Limitation Of taxes on real
property.
3. Rigid economy in public expen-
ditures.
In cOnsOnanee with these obiec-
tives il has been submitted to the
state committee that real property
in California is bearing an excessive
burden Of taxation which tends to-
ward confiseation.
In order TO remedy TINS condition
the following are suggested as con-
tanning the elements Of a definite
solution.
/. That an effective and positive
limitation be established covering
ad valorem taxes which may be
levied on real property.
.. That the state should provide
for and assume larger share of
the burden of local taxation where
the same is due TO state control and
regulation. This refers to such func-
tons as education, public health,
public welfare and highways.
3. That the immediate, necessary
relief may be secured from new
sources of revenue, including limited
luxury consumption taxes, severance

TWO MILLION
CHEVROLET SIX
AUTOS ON ROAD

Another automotive record top
pied recently when the Chevrolet
Motor Company turned out its two
millionth six cylinder ear less than
20 full months after the introduc-
tion of this type.
just as Chevrolet led the world
in four cylinder ear production dur
ing the last two years that the com
pany built that type, so now it as
sumes Leadership III the six cylinder
field by having built nearly five
times as many skies in 20 months
as any other manufacturer in the
history ot the industry.
The two millionth SKA coach
rolled off the line here with Chev-
/ olet and General Motor executives
in attendance to witness the final
assembly of the car, for which no
further ceremonies were planned.
The brief time required by Chev
rolet to build two million skies pro
vides an index of the rapid strides
made by this organization to the
front rank of volume ear builders.
The company was organized late in
1911, and there were required nearly
II years to turn out five million of
the old four cylinder cars, while
two million skies have been placed
on the streets and highways Of the
world since January !, 1929. or in
4 total time of only 10 months and
one week
Commenting on the manufacture
Of the two millionth six. w. s.
Knudsen, president and general
manag ger, stated that the fact of
establishing a new record was sig
nficant mainly in that it indicated
a definite public preference for the
performance and luxury which a six
affords in the low priced field
1--WE abandoned our position as
the worlds largest builder of four
cylinder cars" Knudsen explained,
"because the volume we had built
up, coupled with the tremendous
purchasing power of General Mo
tors, enabled us to put two extra
cylinders in our ears and yet retain
the price range and operating econ
Vmy of the old four cylinder car.
To-day the coach, one of the
most popular models in the line, is
priced 500 lower than the four cyl
inder coach was ever sold. The ex
periences of two millions of owners
are that gas and other operating
and upkcep expenses are as low as
any standard four cylinder ear.
The quick public acceptance or
this fact, and the gratifying re-
sponse to the new type, made pos
sible our new production record
Total output of the Chevrolet
Motor Company 10 date is approx
mately 100000 ears.
