TAX COLLECTIONS
In COUNTY SHOW
FINE PERCENTAGE

That figures at the county asses
sor's office this year show a larger
percentage of collections than were
made last year, and that 9 very
slight delinquency is expected as
tax money continues to come into
the county treasury, was the state
ment of Frank C. Weir, assessor.
today.
Assessment rolls were closed and
and turned over to the board Of
equalization August 5. when the
county's total unsecured per-
sonal property assessed valuation
amounted to something over Sl18,-
600. Collections at that time had
reached over S102, GOO. Since then,
and until August 7. additional col
lections totaled S10,33l87.
Although there still remains in
excess of $500 to be collected.
Weir expressed the belief that most
Of this sum will be paid in within
the next few days.
1t must be remembered, Weir
said. that all personal property was
assessed on present day values,
which are only about half what
they were last year. In 1892
dairy COWS were assessed at from
s35 TO SIS each, while in 1928
their assessed valuation ranges
from $50 to $50, the assessor said.
He also pointed out that there
is only about one-third the usual
amount of stock in Imperial Valley
this year. Other items may be
compared in a like way.

NEW YORK, Aug. Il. W.P)-Sov-
let Russia is reported planning an
international bond issue to obtain
hundreds of millions of dollars,
with the possibility seen that hope
OF increased purchases of Ameri-
can goods will speed up recognition
by the United States government.
The bonds would be distributed
through the Central Bank OF Mos
COW, and its correspondents in this
country and other foreign nations
The Chase National Bank OF New
York and the International Ac-
ceptance bank, it was reported, will
handle the transfer of funds and
deliver some of the bond certlfl-
Gates.
If funds derived from the sale
of such bonds were used TO any con-
siderable degree for purchase OF
American goods, they would inject
new life into American trade which
has fallen TO mere shadow OF
what it was with Russia in 1881.
In 1881 the United States sold
more than s115,000000 worth OF
manufactured products to Soviet
Russia. Trade this year has been
on the basis SO far Of about SILL
100000 annually, just about one
tenth of that in 1881.
Americas chief trade with Rus
sia was in sale Of industrial and
agricultural machinery, electrical
equipment and automobiles. She
was Americas second best automo-
bile customer in 1881.
Her total sales from the outside
world since 1924 were estimated OF
about three billion dollars, part af
which was financed by notes or
credits arranged in countries with
which she traded.
Dozens of engineers and trace
experts who have assisted Russia
in promotion Of its five-year plan
have returned to this country urg-
ing that the United States obtain
Russian trade.
Russia, they pointed out, mas
lived up to all international trade
agreements, has met payments
when due, and has otherwise con-
Quoted herself as any nation with
an established credit, recognized OF

You need good health to succeed.
Many a man has seen his chances
go because he was too sick to keep
pace with competition. Often his
poor health was due to constipation.
This ailment frequently causes
headaches, loss Of energy, sleep
lessness. 1t takes the "punch" out
of your days work.
Try eating Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
Science shows this delicious cereal
supplies "bulk" to exercise the in
testines, and Vitamin B to tone the
intestinal tract. Also iron for the
blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of lettuce. How much
safer than using pills and drugs
so often habit-forming.
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
correct most types of constipation.

The Purpose of the Proposed Amendment
The proposed amendment Is Intended,
first, to give the legislature specific au-
thorIty to enact such laws respecting
the taxation of national banking asso-
Citations as will conform to the laws OF
the United States. The laws of the
United States at present provide In SUBJ
stance that the states may tax the
shares of national banking associa.
tion, provided that the rate Of tax on
such shares shall not be greater than is
assessed upon other moneyed capital In
the hands of Individual citizens OF such
state coming In competition with the
business of national banks. At present
shares OF such banking association
shall be assessed at thirty-three and
one-third per cent (33 1880 of their
true and full value. Moneys and credits
and mortgages upon and executory con-
tracts for the sale of real estate are
taxed In this state at lower rate. The
supreme court of the United States has
held that the Minnesota plan of taxing
shares of a national banking association
Is invalid because these shares are taxed
at a higher rate than moneys and
credits and mortgages on and executory
contracts for the sale of real es-
tate. Under the proposed amendment
II Is Intended to give the legislature the
power to enact laws for the taxation OF
national banks that shall be In harmony
with the federal statutes on that SUBJ
JeCI, even tnou9n SuCn laws THISnE OF.
fend other provisions of the state con.
stltution.
The remainder Of the new matter
which would be placed In said section
by the proposed amendment Is Intended
TO give the legislature specific authority
to enact laws providing for tax on In
comes, and on franchises and privl-
leges measured by income, Including In.
come, franchises and privileges of rail-
road companies. Il Is proposed that
f-
taxes may be graduated and progressive;
that Is to say, the rates may be differ
emit on Incomes of different sizes. II Is
Intended that the legislature shall have
power to allow reasonable exemptions
from such taxes and to provide that such
Income taxes may be In lieu, either In
whole or In part, of taxes on such other
classes Of real or personal property as

The Effect Of the Proposed Amendment

The Effect OF the Proposed Amendment
The effect Of the proposed amend
ment, II adopted, will be to abrogate the
constitutional requirement that school
and swamp lands be disposed Of only by
public sale and will permit the lesisla-
ture to authorize the exchange Of such
lands for lands of the United States,
with the approval of a commission con-
sisting of the governor, the attorney
general and the state auditor. All min
eraI and water and water power rights
In lands so transferred are reserved to
the state. The proceeds of sales Of
federal lands so acquired by exchange
would be subject, under the proposed
amendment, to the same trusts as the
state lands which were conveyed.
The ballots used at the election
should have printed thereon the fol-
lowing:
