don't they do it all like

You pay it when you buy

something.
The way it is they let
US handle it one year, than
two and a half months af-
ter it's all made and spent
then they ask you to pay
it.
But no one that made
enough to pay tax this

it's increased taxes on in

COAST BOURBONS
START CAMPAIGN
FOR ROOSEVELT

SEATTLE. March II. W.p)-Coast-
wise support of Franklin ID. Roose-
Velt as Democratic nominee for the
next presidential election was fore
cast here today by Patrick j. Coon
ey, prominent Los Angeles attorney
and ardent Democratic worker who
came north to inaugurate "Roose-
Velt for President" movements in
Washington and Oregon.
The movement has already start
ed sweeping through California,
with Cooney as president of the
Franklin d. Roosevelt for President
Association, Inc, of that state, and
when Cooney arrived here he was
informed that strong support tor
Roosevelt existed among Washing
ton Democrats.
The Democratic party needs
somebody at its head who will be
strong enough to reunite the par
ty.' Cooney told the United Press.
Governor Roosevelt (of New York;
is the logical man."
Scott Bullitt, national Democratic
committeeman from Washington,
and George Starr. state Democratic
chairman. assured Cooney that they
were confident Washington Demo-
Gratis would support RooSevelt's
nomination 100 per cent.
Cooney wants TO see the Pacific
coast Democratic delegation united
in support of Roosevelt. He organ
lied the California Roosevelt for
President" club, and Bullitt and
Starr declared that a similar organ
ization would be launched in Wash
ington.
THE movement is gaining mo-
mentum through the east and the
SOUTH" Cooney said, "and if We can
follow it up on the Pacific coast we
will be assured of having a power
ful, popular leader to bind the party
together during the next presiden-
tial election"
Many older Imperial Valley resi-
dents will recall Patrick Cooney who
practiced law for several years IN
CaleXico. He has many friends here
and while some may not hold to his
political views they know that
wherever Pat is there is no danger
of affairs being dull.
