Tax Bill Enormous
The stupendous burden of tax
alton has been described in the
following words.
IF the people of the United
States would sit down, add up their
tax bills of all forms that they pay
each year, and capitalize the
amount, they would be astonished
at the sum which is equivalent to
first mortgage on all that they
own, all of their earnings, and
even beyond. And this does not
consider the indirecy taxes such
as sales, internal revenue and in
come taxes. The total would be
an amount almost equal to the
value of the property"
The amount taken for taxes out
of the dollar of income has doubled
in the last 20 years, he said.
"We face taxation a good deal
like we do cyclones, earthquakes,
droughts and pestilence-as an I'M
comfortable evil Successful treat
ment requires that same careful
thought and precision in action
That is SO characteristic in Presi-
dent Hoover"
He urged greater consultations
of departments in state, federal,
and local government and central
ization of subdivisions, opposed pay
ment of the soldiers bonus, which,
he said, would add more than 100
million dollars a year to taxes, and
urged resistance to pressure brought
upon congress for great public
works programs.
1.-THE problem of taxation is ev-
erywhere grave, imminent and re-
curing immediate attention" ne
said in conclusion. I'VE cannot in
ttopsy"1urvy fashion upset this
public machinery or public expen-
diture that we have established,
but we can carefully and system
atically, with due regard for the
welfare of all the great number of
people employed in public activi-
ties, very thoroughly and very COM
prehensively undertake the cam
paign of simplification and eco
nomy, and of determination of the
usefulness of any expenditures

MCKINLEY SCHOOL

On the first day of school we
enrolled. Glass work started the
second day. Everything went
nicely and it seemed as if we were
back after a weekend vacation
and not a long summer vacation.
All the children were glad to see
each other and their teachers.
Our Alb pupils are happy to
have geography book. Most peo-
pie like to travel. We are to have
an imaginary trip around the
Iworld-4-B-1 class.
Our school has pupils from the
kindergarten through the "A
grade. There are 239 children en-
rolled. The kindergarten under
Mrs. Kendrick has the largest en-
rollment, having SO pupils. We
have ga and "A classes in tbs
building this year which we did
not have a year ago. All the
children are interested and the
parents are invited to visit school.
Have you ever seen an Indian
camp? Just ask the ABB and
"A pupils about one as they have
one in their room.
In the camp are four wigwams,
three warriors, three papooses, five
squaws (made out of clothespins)
a campfire, bows and arrows, a
canoe, a dog, and a mountain lion.

encouraging. In fact, several i'm
portant concerns reported sales APP
proximately equal to their figures
for a year ago. Based upon in
formation received from a number
of leading department stores,
there is considerable basis for the
belief that the dollar volume of
sales at retail in Los Angeles was
as large in September as in any
other month this year. The salts
factory reports obtained were said
to be due in part to a highly sue
cessful "dollar-day" event which
was held on September 10.
Trade Improves
Advices from ri other Southern
California communities indicate
that retail trade activity in Sep
TENDER as compared with the pre-
ceding month increased in Is, re-
manned unchanged in and de-
creased in ! of these cities. Among
the communities reporting gains
were Long Beach, Fresno, Santa
Barbara, Oxnard, San Luis Obispo,
Santa Paula, San Fernando, Santa
Ana, Whittier, Porterville, Dinuba,
Lindsay and Visalia. The i'm
provement was shown for the most
part, in agricultural areas where
harvesting operations were being
actively conducted. There is evi-
dence that merchants in some To-
calities have been enlarging their
inventories during recent weeks in
anticipation of advances in whole
sale prices.
The value of department store
sales in Los Angeles was 18.4 per
cent less in August, 1882, than in
August, 1881, according to the lat
est report of the federal reserve
bank Of this district. Similarly
contrasted, the number of sales
transactions was only 1.9 per cent
smaller while merchandise inven-
tories as of September l reflected
a decrease in value of 1858 per
cent.
Representative firms engaged in
the wholesale drug, automobile &C
cessory, dry goods, hardware and
tire business report that sales in
September showed gains which
were, in many instances, more
than normal for the month
Wholesale grocery establishments
conducted operations at approx
mately the August level. Gener-
ally speaking, collections in both
wholesale and retail lines were I'M

ERWIN CHARGED
WITH DEATH OF
HIS PHYSICIAN

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6. U.P)-
Fred Frank Erwin, wealthy retired
oil operator who last Thursday
during a delirium, shot and fatally
wounded the physician who was
treating him for pneumonia, was
charged with the physicians muir
der in a complaint issued by the
district attorneys office today.
The complaint was issued almost
at the instant coroner's jury re-
turned a homicide" verdict at an
inquest into the death of the ply
sician, DR.. o. Paul Reiger.
The issuance of the complaint
came as something of surprise
since Beverly Hills police insisted
Erwin had fired the fatal shot in
frenzy of delirium.
They claimed that Reiger had
remained all night with Erwin
fighting to bring the latter through
an acute crisis of his illness with
bronchial pneumonia.
1t was said that Erwin, not
aware of what he was doing, in
sisted on getting dressed and that
when nurses resisted he drew a
revolver from under the mattress
of his bed and fired two wild
shots.
The second of the shots struck
DR.. Reiger in the abdomen and he
died Tuesday.

letter received by Dr. Ted Reiger

BUSINESS REPORT SHOWS LIGHT
INCREASE DURING SEPTEMBER

ern California shows gain of 3.3
per cent during the four weeks
ended September 81. Sales vol
umes. commensurate with normal
expectations, were experienced dur
ing September by a majority of
the leading retail establishments
in the southern part of the state.
Outstanding in the field of man
ufacturing was the Women's APP
parel industry which operated at
unusually high levels throughout
the month. A very favorable
showing was also made by the To-
cal producers of furniture, prices
of which advanced. The most I'M
favorable aspect of the general sit
uation was the continued inactiv-
ity manifest by the producers of
iron, steel, cement, machinery, au-
tomobiles and other heavy indus
trial products.
Banking Improves
A general improvement in the
banking situation was reflected by
increases in deposits and invest
mentS of Los Angeles institutions
during the past three months. Bus
mess failures in Los Angeles and
Southern California we're of less
consequence, both in number and
amount of aggregate liabilities, for
the four weeks ended September
q than in the preceding period.
In the field of real estate invest
ments, renewed interest was re-
ported from a number of commun-
tiles located throughout the south
,ern counties.
An agricultural season that may
be described as one of low prices
but better than normal yields is
rapidly drawing to a close. Har-
vesting of most of the deciduous
fruit, grain and early field crops
has been completed, but the gath
ering of apples, beans, cotton,
grapes, sugar beets and walnuts
will continue during the current
month. Although recent price adj
vances have improved the outlook
for number of farm products,
the aggregate 1882 returns from
agriculture will be considerably
smaller than last year. Large
quantities of many fruits and veg
etables have been left unharvested
and oranges, the most important
source of agricultural income in
Southern California, have brought
relatively low prices this season.
After making allowance for sea-
sonal factors, it appears that re-
tail trade in Los Angeles was main
tanned during September at levels
close to those of the preceding
month. In this connection, it
should be noted that more than
the customary improvement in
trade activity occurred in August.
For this reason, the showing made
in September may be considered
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1932-10-06

Inc volume of business activity
in Los Angeles and Southern CAL
lfornia during September increased
IN line with seasonal expectations
IN majority of the leading lines
OF endeayor. The local situation
is comparable in many ways to
that existing in eastern centers in
asmueh as the improvements reg
istered have been in the fields of
finance, trade and light manufac-
turing, while heavy industry has
remained unaffected. Although
many of the gains have been sea-
sonal in character, the operations,
sales and price levels of signifi-
cant number of businesses have
recently evidenced a degree of
stability that has been absent for
a considerable period of time. Thus
the record of the past eight weeks
offers a basis for encouragement,
even though the outlook for bus
mess activity during coming
months remains yet to be defin-
itely established. In this connec-
ton, it is probable that recovery
from a depression of the present
magnitude will be a slow and diff
cult process.

graph of the monthly summary of
business conditions in the Pacific
Southwest territory compiled by
the department of research and
service of the Security First Ma
tional bank of Los Angeles, and
