FOULDS EXPLAINS
SCHOOL TAXATION
PLAN TO CHAMBER

Proposed legislation to transfer
school taxes from the county to
the state was explained at last
nights Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce dinner by Scott B. Foulds,
secretary of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau. Foulds stated that
the research department of the
farm bureau has found that the
farmer is paying more taxes than
any other group and that rs per
cent of the taxes in California are
derived from property, while only
25 per cent of the income of the
state is derived from the same
source.
Foulds then explained that under
the present system the state pays
the county $50 per pupil attending
the schools and the county must
raise $50 per grammar school pupil
and $50 per each high school pupil.
In 1931-1932, according to the speak
er $291,3 was raised in this man
ner in Imperial county for ele-
mentary schools and $156,00O for
high schools, making total raised
by county taxes of SAT, 900. In ad-
dition to this amount S573 900 was
levied by school districts in the
county for various expenditures.
The amount necessary to meet the
legal regulations, according to
Foulds, resulted in a county tax
in Imperial county of S109 on the
$100, exclusive of the tax levied
by districts for 1931-1932. This
amount is equal to the entire cost
of county government, which for
1892 was $1.10 on the $100. Bond
ed interest and other expenses
bring the total county tax to an
amount approximating 81 on the
S100 valuation.
Foulds explained that it is plan
ned to bring up on the November
ballot for the vote of the people
a measure which would provide that
the state raise the $50 and $50
school attendance tax now levied
by the county and that a tentative
plan would provide for the raising
of that money by a selective sales
and income tax which would af-
feet approximately the same items
as the new federal sales tax has in
cluded. He urged that every voter
give some thought to this matter,
which the farm bureau believes
would result in a decided decrease
in the tax burden now carried by
the property owner.

HUGE REVENUES

BY BANKERS

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,

lied beer in the United States

for the government of as much
as $754. 100000 annually, the in
yeStment Bankers of America were
informed at their convention here
today in a report submitted by
the organizations federal taxation
committee. The report said:
"This sum is approximately
three.fOurths of the entire in
come tax collected by the Gov
ernment during the last fiscal
year ended June 80, 1892. The
assistance such revenue would
be in the present emergency can
not be disregarded."
The taxation committee did
not, however, give an opinion on
prohibition.
Head Laud Bankers
The figure arrived at by the
committee was based on a tax
up to 40 cents a gallon on beer.
The chairman of the committee,
Edward HopkinSon, jr, is a mem
ber of j. P. Morgan and Com
pany and DreXel and Company.
The committees report on beer
followed the delivery of the open

BONDS
IS To LOWER
LEVELS
BY MuNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Oct. "a GNS0
The bond market displayed ir.
regularity today, with the run of
active senior obligations giving
way to lower levels in the face
of an indifferent attitude on the
part of investors.
SoftneSS was rather pronounced
in the foreign group, with the
German government issues dcclin-
ing somewhat abruptly. The ex-
ternal rs fell back IA points to
7034. while the 5l5s were off ~
at 5LH. Elsewhere in the foreign
group. Belgium 612s were off "a
at 1O05s; Tokyo Electric IS dipped
V to 36, and Japan 61as were off
u at so.
There was little important
change in the rail section, al
though the Nickel Plate IS, which
had been somewhat of a sensa-
ton in the closing sessions Of last
week, dipped u point to 43. A gen.
orally steady tone was noted in the
various obligations of such roads
as the Baltimore and Ohio, Chi
cago Northwestern, New York
Central, Missouri Pacific and
Southern Pacific.
The U. S. Government list was
quiet. with Treasury 3bs show
ing firmer with a gain of 4-32 to

The utility list was steady for

The retirement annuity policy
was issued by life insurance COM
panies to meet the need of men
and women who have no &C.
cumulated savings but desire to
lay aside a definite sum from
year to year and thus purchase
a life income to begin at a Sc
lected age.
There are various retirement
annuity contracts written, differ
ing somewhat in detail but &C,
complishing the same purpose,
guaranteed income for life in
later years. The policy described
below is sold in units of 500 Of
yearly premium, the income be-
ginning at age so, SIS, so, IS or 10
as the insured elects. The con-
tract provides:
Monthly Guarantee
A guaranteed monthly income
for life beginning at retirement
age selected. In case the policy
holder dies before the date when
income payments are to begin, the
beneficiary will receive at least
as much as the premiums that
have been paid in, or if the cash
value at the time is a greater
amount, such amount will be
paid in place of a return of the
premium money.
If death occurs after retire,
ment date and before the full
amount of the cash value at ma
turity has been received by the
policyholder, the payments will
be continued as an income to the
beneficiary until the difference
has been made up.
At any time after premiums
have been paid for one full year,
the contract may be surrendered
for cash. or the insured may bor-
row an amount not exceeding the
cash value. This value builds up
steadily each year, and at the
time of retirement the cash value
of the annuity may be taken in
lieu of the income If the policy
holder prefers.
In the same way, the cash value
may be taken at any time prior

PRICE CHANGES

NEW YORK, Oct. "a 0N.SO
The curb market reflected the
virtual withdrawal of speculative
interests from active participa-
ton. and today's session was
given over to a generally mean
ingless backing and filling.
Price Changes Small
Price changes. as might be ex-
pected from the circumstances,
were trivial in character for the
most part, although in one or
two issues absence of nearby sup
port influenced rather sizeable
declines.
The attention of traders was
given over to the possible out
come of the U. S. Steel directors
meeting for preferred dividend
action after the close of the ses-
sion tomorrow.
Declaration of the regular
payment was expected to stimu-
late buying interest, but the un-
certainty Of the decision was a
factor in causing professionals
to stand aside.
Utilities Weak

to favor the downside, with the
active Electric Bond & Share

Retirement Annuity Form
Of Insurance Praised

to the contemplated retirement
age and used to purchase a life
income, beginning at once, for a
reduced amount. This leaves the
way open to adjust the eventual
date of retirement according to
future circumstances.
There is also a provision
whereby at any time after the
first year a paid-up deferred an
nuity will be granted instead of
cash value, if desired. Under
this arrangement, no further
premiums are paid but the life
income begins at retirement age
for a smaller amount depending
on the number of premiums that
were paid while the policy was in
force.
The policy participates in the
dividend earnings of the company
which may be taken in cash, ap-
piled toward the premiums, or left
to accumulate with interest to in
crease the cash value at maturity,
or to increase the life income. No
medical examination is required.
Example of Working
Under the above plan, a man
aged 30, for a yearly premium OF
$100, can receive a life income OF
$32.O3 a month beginning at the
age of so, or for yearly premium
of $3.50, a savings of approx,
mately SIS a week, the monthly in
come would be $80.08.
Retirement annuity contracts
are particularly attractive to per
sons who for various reasons
would not care for an endowment
policy because they do not desire
death benefits equal to endowment
value. At the same time, such a
contract appeals to persons who
would prefer life insurance but
who have been unable to obtain
it because of some impairment.
and, as stated above, no evidence
of inSurability is required for a re-
tirement annuity.
