Charges Denied
By Gas Company

Answering the complaint of Fred
Anderson for damages resulting
from an explosion last December
90 in his Main street cafe, the Ma
tional Gas Corporation of Califor-
mia yesterday denied any respon-
sibility for the explosion and
charged it was contributed to by
the carelessness and negligence of
Anderson.
The answer also denied Ander-
son was damaged in any sum at all
as the fault of the gas company.
Anderson was badly burned in an
explosion which resulted when he
struck a match to a burner which
had gone out while the gas was

Prior to 1929 few appreciated
the weight of the tax drag; now
that pickings are slim all feel it.
A double danger arises:
First, the government wants
more taxes.
Second; because of the depres-
sion huge losses and government
competition in business the tax
payers have little or nothing with
which to pay.
The fewer jobs at Washington,
Dc, the fewer jobs at home.
That the railroads in this state
are in a bad way due to this tax
problem seems to be substantiated
by statement given out by a rep
resentative of the Northern Pa
cific, that the gross operating rev.
enues in Washington state for 1880
was s22, 2S1 ,246; net railway oper-
ating income s2,77s, 900; taxes as
sessed, $3,1O9, 160.91, these taxes
being 1891 ,160.91 in excess of net
railway operating income and
1896 percent of gross operating
revenue.
D This sounds somewhat like the
farmers income and outgo. That's
why everyone should be virtually
alive to the danger in the tax sit
uation as it exists today.
Over in the Yakima district they
are really giving serious thought
to the problem The Sunnyside
Sun has been hammering along
these lines for weeks. Now come
ten suggestions for the solution
of the tax problem:
1. Consolidation of counties.
This means reduction in costs of
administration and government. It
might also mean fewer people at
the tax trough
2 Consolidation Of high school
districts Reduces cost of govern
ment.
8. One county commissioner in
stead of three. Also aimed to re-
duce costs.
a. Three cents of five : cent
gas tax to be used only on state
highways
Two cents to go to eliminate the
county road levies One cent to go

Word comes from Washington,
D. c., that there must be some in
creases in the income taxes. This
state is interested, more so now
that the State Grange is prepar-
ing to launch an initiative provid-
ing for an income tax in this state.
The average man who does not
have to pay exclaims:
"Why should I worry
The reason is simple. Everyone
has to pay ultimately. When bus
mess is heavily taxed, costs are in
creased, and jobs become scarce.
When the overhead costs increase
to such an extent that business
cannot advance, it stops, and then
there are no jobs.
Income taxes nationally go to
help foot the costs of government
This means that the huge deficit
now existing must be raised thru
taxes, largely income, and every
one will be hit. There must be
some step towards reducing this
ever increasing cost, not only of
the government, but of the state.

is not justified as there is little
question but that every cent rails
ed by the gas tax should be used
on the roads and nowhere else.

The State Grange has decided
to withdraw further activities in
trying to have enacted as an initi-
alive measure now state elective
highway commission to take over
the control of the state road funds
and their ALLEGATION.
This follows the withdrawal of
the support of the Washington
State Good Roads Association as a
body.
The Grange takes the position
that the tax problem is the most
trying and will devote its time
to trying to work out some strong
program along these lines.

EIGHT BILLS
TO BE VOTED
ON THIS FALL
Signatures Necessary to Put
Measures Before Voters
Are Secured; Propositions
Are Far Reaching
(By Jimmie K. Brown)


Seattle has closed it's municipal
primary campaign. This was of
considerable interest to the rest
Of the state because it was the
forerunner of what the year 1882
is going to demand of candidates
for public offices. Seattle's issues,
stripped of personalities, the mud
singing and billingsgate, were
taxes and municipal ownership
control.
It is interesting to note that
John F. Dore, the high man in the
primaries, is the same Dore who
is sponsoring the initiative meas
ure which would exempt from tax
alton all homes in the state of q
valuation of $4,000 or less. 1t is
also interesting to note that thru
his campaign he claimed to be a
friend Of Getty light" and an adj
mirer of its chief, j. D. Ross, but
also threw out an anchor to the
windward "that if he finds any
thing in the light department
which indicates inefficiency he
will promptly reorganize it."
One of the candidates who ran
down in the second division cam
paigned for the 40-mill limitation
bill, now an initiative measure, and
other proposed laws relative. to
taxation,
The 40-mill limitation bill as
does the Dore proposal means that
the state, If the proposal is en-
acted into law, will be called upon
to seek millions of tax properties
elsewhere to meet current costs of
government. Where these addition
al revenues will come from no one
attempts to say. Of course there
are the usual generalities, but
nothing specific is offered.
The tax burden has reached the
breaking point, but this kind of
legislation will not solve it. 1t will
only aggravate the situation just
that much more.
Seattle's campaign revolved all
around the tax problem. But not
one candidate advanced a really
constructive idea, with the possible
exception of one who said he would

off the, public payroll.
The cost to the taxpayers is also
heavy. 1t required $4,000 to get
the vote registered; another $14,~
600 is chargeable to the primary
and coming general election.
just as long as the state has
these direct primaries the costs are
increasing yearly. Whereas Scat
tie spent 100000 for the cam
paign, the state will see five times
that much scattered out by candi-
dates.
The direct primary is supposed
to be so protected that all persons
have an equal chance. This is
fine idea, pretty theory but not
true in actual practice. Only men
having tremendous financial sup
port have an iota of chance in the
race.
The primaries are today battle
of dollars and nothing else.
Tax d alta is being gathered
from all sources for the work of
the tex commission this coming
summer and next fall prior to the
meeting of the 1888 Legislature.
Because of the intense interest in
the problem and the demands
which will be made for tax shift
ing and tax changing, studies on
the problem are being gathered
from every available source.
The Incorporated manufacturing,
mercantile, commercial and amuse-
ment enterprises Of the nation
contribute one-seventh of the to-
tai amount of state and local taxes
collected. In 1927 when the most
complete data was obtainable
under nearly normal conditions,
federal, state and local taxes to the
amount of 81 ,493, $4,000 were col
lected from incorporated enter
prises. OF this sum, $819,411 900
or more than one-haf went to the
states and local governments,
chiefly in the form of property
taxes. This is a heavy burden, but
in this state will be mere drop,
proportionately to what industry
and business will be called upon to
contribute if some of the proposed
initiative measures are enacted in
to law.
The study is showing that there
is discrimination between t h e
Incorporated and the unincorpor-
ated activities. The former are
subjected to various taxes not paid
by the latter, including franchise
and privilege taxes and corpora
ton income taxes.
p 49,
There are now eight full-fledged
initiative measures being circulat-
ed in the state. This recalls to
mind the famous "Seven Sisters"
of bygone years. Last Friday the
secretary of state received No. SO,
from the Cascade Tunnel Associa-
ton. authorizing the expenditure
of 100000 from the state motor
vehicle fund to pay for a physical
and economic survey of a bore
under the Cascade mountains The
tunnel proposed is from Leaven-
worth, Chelan County, to Skyko-
mish, King.

to dig into the motor vehicle funds
