Council May Frame
Beer Regulation

Members of the city council were
to meet this afternoon at o'clock
for further discussion of regulation
of the beer traffic in Ell Centre.
In the absence of any action reg
ulating beer by the state legisla-
ture, members of the council are
handicapped in their efforts, how
ever, they are reported as believ-
ing that the city should not be de-
prived of any revenue to which it
is entitled because of the situation
at Sacramento.
1t is proposed to draw up tempor-
ary regulation which can later be
amended to conform to the state
laws if such action is necessary, a
member of the council said.

OUTLINES PROPOSALS
Measure Intended To Offset

SACRAMENTO, April IL. - A
worried and harried legislature to-
day cast about for q logical solu-
ton of its biggest problem, bal
ancing the state budget.
Assuming the $240,000,0 900 budget
submitted by the ways and means
committee is approved, there still
remains $40 100000 deficit for the
ensuing biennium unless new rev.
enue is obtained.
Commanding the legislatures at
tention today was an entirely new
tax proposal-a retail sales tax
being prepared for Introduction by
Assemblyman B. j. Feigenbaum,
San Francisco.
Feigenbaum's program, which he
estimates will return between $780,
100000 and $36,0o0,O0O calls for the
following graduated scale: sales un-
der 10 cents no tax; 10 to so cents
one. cent tax: 81. to $1.50-three
cents; $3.50 to $2-four cents; So to
$2.50-five cents: $3.50 to $3-six
cents; over $3-six cents and two
cents for each additional dollar or
fraction thereof. Transactions in
volving sale by farmers direct to
consumers would be exempt.
Supplementing this tax Fiegen-
baum's plan calls for repeal of con-
stitutional amendment number one
the states traditional separation
of sources tax system; consumer
tax on electricity and gas, and in
creased bank and inheritance tax.
The Feigenbaum plan is ad-
vanced as a substitute for the Ri
ley-Stewart tax proposal which is
facing increasing assembly opposi-
ion.
That proposal calls for repeal of
amendment number one, limitation
of real property taxes to so per
cent of the cost of government,
and imposition OF gross receipts
tax. 1t is this latter feature that
has drawn opposition. Opponents
claim it would mean intolerable tax
pyramiding.
If the Riley-Stewart plan or any
other proposal calling for a vote
of the people is passed, special
election will be called late in June.
The legislature would recess around
May / and reconvene in mid-sum-
mer to. pass enabling acts.
Meantime, the assembly revenue
and taxation committee passed a
bill, introduced by Assemblyman G.
Ray Robinson, which would remove
all possibility of an ad valorem tax.
The measure would remove from
the statutes legislation which al
lows imposition of an ad valorem
tax by the state.
Assemblyman Luus Powers, Fres-
no, opposed the bill. He contended
1t would impair the states credit.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt in an address at
the American Union today
called for the immediate breaking
down of unnecessary and artifi-
cial barriers and restrictions which
now hamper the healthy flow of
trade between the peoples of the
American republics"
Mr.. Roosevelt explained that it
was vitality important that every
nation of the western hemisphere,
individually, take such action with
out further delay.
The Presidents address was made

In his address, Mr.. Roosevelt
took cognizance of the undeclared
wars now going on between Bolivia
and Paraguay and Colombia and
Peru, asserting that II cannot
fail to be disturbed by any armed
strife between neighborS. I do not
hesitate to say to you, the dis
tinguished members of the govern

ion, that I regard existing con-
flictS between four of our sister
republics as a backward STEP"

SpeciaD Some sort of hand
clapping is due the Republican
newspapers for their generous
support of the administration.
For nothing is as bull-headed
as a party newspaper, be 1t
Republican or Democratic.
People are the first to forget
party lines. Newspapers are
the last. This is a lesson in
generosity to Democratic pa
pers.
And talking about newspa-

given some new advertising men

Auto Fumes.
PROBE REVEALS INJURY
Body Is Discovered Beside
Car of Wife on
Lovers Lane.

Death of James A. O'Con-
nor, investment broker, of
1910 North Pennsylvania

not have been self-inflicted or
caused by falling"
Substantiation of the murder be-
lief was given by Timothy O'Con-
nor. brother of the dead man.
He told the police that James
O'Connor was known to have been
carrying valuable securities, which
were missing. The dead man had
only cents on his person when
found.
Dr. Salb ordered the body to the
city morgue.
The wound in the head was dis
covered more than two hours after

DR.. Salb found the deep wound
covered with blood behind the mans
right ear. ------
Police said that O'Connor's mouth
was tight shut and that the end Of

at first he had killed himself by in
