LAWMAKERS STUDY
BUDGET REDUCTION
Tax-DoIIar Savings Are to Be
Trimmed by Various
Legislatures.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 31.-With a
composite burget of approximately $2,-
600, 100000 from which to trim tax
dollar savings, several thousand State
legislators are at work in at least half
the AZ States trying to devise means
of reducing local government expense.
The force of the economy movement
varies geographically from hot 1nten-
sity to deliberate caution. The saving
campaign is most intense in the Middle
West-in Iowa, Nebraska, South Da-
kota. Kansas and Oklahoma--in terri
tory where the burden of local taxes
far outweighs that Of Federal taxation.
Some States to Increase Taxes.
In some States, notably those of
greatest population, like New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania, no prospects
for local tax reduction are reported.
California. with a normal State budget
of S265, 0o0, 000, reports anticipated IN
creases. including $5,000,000 for the
state building fund to provide JOBS LOT
unemployed. Georgia looks for an IN
creased budget and so do Connectlcut
and Tennessee.
Pennsylvania reports that Gov. Pin
chot, pledged to policy of no increase,
hopes to hold the budget to normal.
Oklahoma leads in proposals ior
5rastic reduction. Gov. alfalfa Bill
Murray has promised to cut ad valorem
taxes SO per cent by July l through
Wholesale reductions of salaries and
trimming and consolidation OF govern
mental bureaus.
In Nebraska Gov. Bryan has reduced
the salaries of a number OF appolntlVe
state officials without legislative &C
&c -
nroposed a schedule of salary cuts
ranging from 10 to % per cent 1or all
State employees and officials.
In some States, where legislators are
convinced that budget totals must be
maintained, there are definite moves
toward more efficient congratulations
and more economic spending. IN Maine
a complete new administrative cooe Is
proposed, and other States plan to trim
and consolidate SPECIFIC departments;
Several States are planning centraI
purchasing bureaus in the hope OF saw
ug on the cost of supplies.
Burdens to Be Shifted.
Generally, in States which find 1t
necessary to increase their buogets 1or
the next one or two years, the plan Is
ia shift the burden of the new taxes
ss raucF as possible, easing the load on
farms and homes and setting up COM
modify and sales taxes and special
sXcises. Several States also plan ex-
emptions from license fees for: farm
trucks and reductions OF auto license
fees. -.,,.4.. 8.
sponsoring abolition of personal and
real property taxes amounting to s4,..
COO 900 a year, and the substitution OF
additional income, inheritance and spe-
ciaI taxes. In North Carolina, to relieve
taxes on lands, State luxury tax
gross receipts tax, and retail safes
tax are proposed. North Ca ~ raI,.ts =
more than $50 600 900 of the S265,oOO.-
n0O Federal tobacco tax which IS col
lected in the State.

GOLD RUSH STARTS
IN MEXICAN HILLS
Engineer Says ProSpeCtorS
Have Taken $35O,0O0 From
SinaIoa Field.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the hSSoCAdbeu FTeSss
SAN IGNACIO, Sinaloa, Mexico,
March 20.-Guillermo Laveaga, gradu-
ate of Santa Clara University, in Cali
fornia, and once a Mexican Senator,
came out Of the Sierras yesterday with
q story of gold rush which has sent
600 prospectors into the mountains after
q veritable treasure of natural wealth.
A hundred miles northeast of Ma
Zatlan, in this province, Laveaga said,
1900 pounds of gold, worth nearly
$35o,000, has been taken out of the
earth and mountain rivers Sometimes
the prospectorS get as much as five
pounds a day, and in some places they
are taking gold out of the rocks with
their hunting knives.
Laveaga, an engineer, has spent six
months in the gold fields. The River
FL Tambor, so to 100 feet wide, with
alluvial deposits 6 feet deep, is rich in
gold, he said and the modern forty
miners are searching for the mother
lode, which. they believe, is farther up
stream than any claim yet staked.
A Spanish mine three centuries old
and several others more modern arc
within $50 miles of the place. Laveaga
said 1900 claims already have been
filed. He filed his own last october.
His story of the discovery of the field
is that Heraclio Bernal. a notorious
bandit in the days of Diaz. used to
bring raw gold into the towns he Wis
tied, but his source Of supply never was
found
one day last Fall the old robbers
nephew came to a woman in San Ig-
nacio. desperately i'll, and offered to
show her where his uncle got his gold
If she would care for him. Not long
after that Laveaga went into the noun
tains.

check"

A Predicted Explosion.
(New York Times.)

(NeW York TimeS)
 When Congress meets in December it will have been nine months since one was in session This was of no particular consequence to members of the Seventy Congress who failed of reelection. But to the veterans and novices who will make up the Seventy second the deprivation has been cruel. Speech upon speech has weed into their throats, and nowhere to deliver them. There were the local newspapers of course. But the floor of Congress is a national forum. This is where real publicity begins.
 The valves of speech will be opened December T, and in the Washington correspondence of The New Republic veritable explosion is predicted. It will be practically continuous. Before ratifyng either the Presidents moratorium plan his bank pool there will be an attack on Mir Hoover which will exced in severity any previously made in Congress" |" The individual coterie who which supplies The New Republic with it's Washington letter has talked with quite number of our leading Con- gressonal lights in both the Progressive and Demo- cratic groups" They loaded for California bear And the long period of silence forced upon them the White House conferences at which they had to pledge their support to the Presidents economic measures because they had none of their own to propose, have charged their oratorial bat eries before.
 As this correspondence suggests, Mir Hoover is not likely to be any better defended that he was in the last Congress In the Senate there is almost nobody to say effective word for him, because those who mean 1t have no influence, and the with influence don't it. In the House the coseness of the party division expected repress Administration oratory. The Democrats have no peed to endorse his acts they will still assert that action too late. purely political session is bad enough when there is a responsible party ma- jority When there is not, and in Presidential year. the prospects gloomy for cooperation con- structveness or restraint.

ACCIDENT RECORD A MENACE.

According to estimates made by the Travellers Insurance Company, the first nine months of the current year than 24,000 persons killed in automobile accidents in the United States, making the toll the largest recorded in similar period This fearful loss of life brings the daily average of fatalities up to nearly 90 for the country.
 New York presents death gain of 4.36 per cent the similar period in 1880; California shows an increase of 1867 per cent Pennsylvania and Ohio next the list
 It seems unthnkabe that so many people in this day and age should die from a single cause and little of substantial worth be accomplished in the way of preventing such purposeless slaughter Must the genius of the age fail in the face of a visitation that is killing human beings than killed annually in time of battle stress? It is discouraging to realize that this sad toll is con- stantly increasing. The accident record is becom- ing national menace. For lesser emergencies Legislatures and Congress have exerted themselves in prompt and effective preventive action.

PRESIDENT POINTS TO IMPKON EMENT.

President Hoover last week took occasion to point to increased public confidence and the effects it is having upon the general situation Unquestion- ably strength in commodity prices is the oustand- ing development in the world of trade and finance. In the short space of fortnight grains and cotton have recovered almost 20 per cent from the lows, the result being to exercise something akin to a transformation of feeling in the South and in cer- tain sections of the West Much more cheerful are bankers from the agricultural districts.
 How far the movement may run and just how potent its immediate benefits may be upon the American business situation it is, of course toe early to determine The rebound in prices does suggest that deflation has been complete in the past two years that danger ot early rapid slump has grown rather remote.
 Much the may be said of the securities markets Liquidation here has been un. precedented scale effectng the most complete house cleaning in the history of Wal Street Regardless of what grief adjustments may yet be in store a point has been reached below which it will bt difficult to drive prices in a hurry
 Therefore so long security and commodit. markets can display strength there is bound to be tendency the part of the public to re gain confidence, and confidence is badly needed With confidence restored. hoardng on the part o banks and individuals might and idle mone get to work.

 The Mahatma Gandhi took a sip of pasteurized goats milk in London the other day and laying aside communication from the Massachusetts Anti Saloon League, turned to his secretary and dic- tated: l&RtHn
 It was brave step, worthy of America,
 to have undertaken the most difficult task
 for her, of total Prohibition. It would be
 shame and rude shock to reformers
 throughout the world il. for any cause, Am
 erica abandoned the policy and returned to
 the drink evil.
 We should, with due reverence for the fine idealsm of this great leader, like to discuss this matter of total Prohibition" with MT. Gandhi in that most effective setting of all for such dis cussion, New York speakeasy or in, for that matter any one of the tens of thousands of speak eases through this moist nation. But it would be doubtless time wasted. If Am erican reformers who live with Prohibition are unable to see that America has not returned to the drink evil' because she has never been away from it, it is not likely that the greatest reformer in the universe today could be convinced that all the peoples of the earth Broadway included, will not some day join him at his goats milk and his spinning wheel.
