B|NCHAM'S TAKING
. PROPOSAL PRAISED
ShipbuiIder Among Those
Who See Greater Economy
in Widening Burden.

The proposal put forward recently by
Senator Bingham, Republican, Of Con-
necticut to increase the number of Fed
eral taxpayers as a means of bringing
home to people the necessity of avoiding
extravaganza in Federal appropriations
has brought him messages from various
parts of the country commenting ia
vorably on the suggestion.
The Senator suggested that the in
come tax field be extended and some
of the so-called nuisance taxes be
levied in the belief that by paying even
a small amount large numbers of citi-
zenS would be brought to a realization
of the costs involved when new Govern
ment expenditures are advocated.
Comment of Shipbuilder.
Among the messages Of comment
made public by Senator Bingham yes
terday was one from the head of a
shipbuilding concern, as follows:
What we need more than anything
else is to awaken the rank and file OF
the American public to tax conscious
ness, and the only way in which this
can be done effectively is to reach the
pocketbooks of those who are clamor-
ing so long and loudly for improve
nents and expenditures of every kind
without a personal realization as to
where the money to carry on comes
from"
From an observer in Concord, N. H,
Senator Bingham received this opserva-
ton on his plan: "Were your proposal
adopted, two safeguards would be fur
nished-first, the passage of any in
come tax bill could not be hastily &C
complished; second, expenditure OF
money derived through an income tax
would be much more carefully scrut1-
nized."
Expression From Ohio.
An author in Ohio sent this COM
ment: Il have read with interest your
proposal for the increase of taxes to
meet the mounting appropriations OF
Congress. and for their distribution in
such a way that the greatest number
of people would feel them. I think
that your position is absolutely cor
rect--that instead of trying to make the
extraction of taxes as painless as pos
sible, Congress ought to see that every
citizen realizes, in so far as possible
what he is contributing to the expenses
of Government. This is the only way
to curb the ever-mounting demands for
Government appropriations on the part
of people who seem to think that all
the Government has to do to secure a
supply of money is to print it."
Similar expressions of approval from
men in various walks of life in differ
ent States came to the Connecticut
Senator Some of the messages were
from Democrats.

IRISH WOMAN LAUDS
INTERNATIONALISM
Free State Official Praises Immi.
grafton Policy to University
Association.

America has realized the ideal of in
ternationalism in openings its doors TO
immigrants from all Euroean nations,
Miss Brighid Stafford, member of the
ministry of commerce and industry Of
the Irish Free State, told members Of
the American Association of University
Women at a luncheon yesterday.
Miss Stafford spoke Of the seeming
incompatibility Of nationalism with in
ternational ideals.
"Ireland's scholars" she said, have
long been sowing the seeds of interna-
t!onal understanding.
The Irish Free state in constitu-
tionally granting to women equal rights
with men, she said, is merely carrying
on traditions of ancient ireland, where
women enjoyed property rights and
privileges unknown in many other
countries in the early Christian era.
Miss Stafford represents the Irish
Federation of University Women.

COURT TO SET
DAMAGES FOR
DAVIDSON CASE

To what amount in United States
money William Caine Davidson was
damaged by five years alleged false
Imprisonment in San Quentin pene-
tentiary by city and county officials
of San Francisco was to be decided
by Judge Vaughn Thompson in the
superior court here at 3 o'clock this
afternoon.
Davidson was gwen judgment by
default some time ago when he dis
missed the case against large num-
ber of defendants, including District
Attorney Matthew Brady of San
Francisco. and entered default
against H. I. Mulcrevy, San Fran
cisco county clerk; Thomas Finn,
former San Francisco sheriff, and l..
w. Helscher, assistant cashier of the
Liberty Bank of San Francisco.
Davidson. in his complaint, asked
for an even million dollars in dam
ages. He was arrested, he said, so
that he could not give testimony be-
fore the house of representatives
subcommittee investigating alcoho-
lie activities in the United States,
His testimony before the sub-com-
mittee, according to the complaint,
would have involved a number OF
banks on the Pacific Coast in liquor
escrow deals.
After Davidson had been arrested
in Alexandria, Virginia, on a San
Francisco warrant charging forgery.
Governor Byrd of Virginia refused
to grant extradition because David
son had not been indicted by a
grand jury. A grand jury was called
in San Francisco and an indictment
issued, after which Davidson was
extradicted
1t was his contention that, even
should he have been guilty of the
offense charged. it was outlawed by
the passing of the period prescribed
by law
In San Francisco, according TO
Davidson, he was coerced into enter
ing a plea of guilty on promise OF
leniency. His health at that time
was not good, said Davidson. He
was sentenced to San Quentin for
the term prescribed by law. and re-
leased on parole after serving five
years of his sentence.
In the original complaint defen-
dants named included the entire
1926 San Francisco county grand
jury, the district attorney, a Judge
of the Superior court, the state pa
role officer, and other prominent
men.

the Richfield Oil company. 1t grew
steadily and its founders employed
an ambitious program of expansion
Talbot. himself turned to other
fields while maintaining his interest
in oil.
About three years ago the oil man
became interested in Anton G. Fox
ker. the aviation expert, and from
this association Western Air Express
and the Fokker Air Transport were
developed. At one time during the
height of his activity Talbot owned
o yacht valued at approximately ST.
100000 and operated a courtesy air
plane" in which celebrities who
visited California were entertained.
An invasion of the east was one
form of Talbot expansion. The
Richfield Oil company of New York
operated in New England, through
out the state of New York, and as
far south as Chesapeake Bay.
At one time it was planned to
operate hotels on the Pacific Coast
in conjunction with Richfield service
stations.
Expert oil men say that the real
reason behind the Richfield difficult
ties rs the fact that the company
failed to produce enough oil to serve
its needs and was forced TO buy on
the market Talbot and his associ-
ates attempted to remedy this sit
uation by purchasing the Pan-Am-
erican Oil company of California. an
E. L. Doheny enterprise. The ven-
ture, according to oil men, failed to
accomplish just what the Talbot Or
ganiZation desired.
Eventually Talbot became chair
man of the board of the Richfield
company, with Fuller as president.
Last December Fuller was succeeded
by William c. McDuffie, who yester-
day was named receiver in equity.
Today Talbot is a man of middle
age. His friends say he is as strong
physically as he was years ago when
he worked around the oil fields.
