organizations of publishers of daily

"A code on behalf of newspaper

WILL OPPOSE
INCOME TAX

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 9. W.H-
ROLAND Vandegrift, state finance
director, will strongly recommend
veto of the personal income tax bill
passed the final day of the mid
summer legislative session, he indi-
Gated today.
Governor Rolph has not yet in
Dictated his stand on the issue. A
public hearing on the income tax
bill will be held tomorrow.
Vandegrift said his opposition to
the measure is based on the follow
ing points: .+.f
/. An income tax would drive
wealthy residents to other states;
it would discourage persons and in
dustries from moving into Califor-
mia.
2. Cost of administering the tax
is out of all proportion to its rev.
enue yield. t.'
3. The levy would mean, in effect,
superimposing one tax onto another
that is state income tax on a
federal income tax-which would
tend to bring this revenue method
close to the point of diminishing
returns.
4. An income tax is a "fair
weather. levy. 1t Is tax that
should be imposed during prosper
GUS times, and certainly not during
a depression.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-08-09

the unanimous opinion Of the full
committee that no sound ground
for objection could be offered to
the code as prepared.
Newspapers are not national
industry: They are, on the con-
trary, by nature and necessity
local in their scope. Conditions in
each locality control and regulate
such fundamental factors as numb
er OF editions, time of publication
method of distribution, etc. 1t is
obvious, for example, that costs in
Salem, Oregon, can have little or
no effect on the cost of publishing
a paper in New York.
with nearly 1000 daily news
papers in the United States, having
calculations ranging from about
about 1000 copies daily to over
/ 100000 daily, the problem of pre-
pairing a code which, in its main
features, would be equitable to all
was necessarily difficult and COM
plicated one. For this reason, while
minimum wages and maximum
hours are proposed, provision was
made for flexibility in communities
where there might be a shortage OF
competent labor.
Peculiar Conditions Cited
THE allegation is constantly
made that this or that industry
is a peculiar one. and while daily
newspapers have no desire to set
up for themselves any threadbare
argument, it is proper to call at
tention to these facts.
I'm MIRA bulletin N. 2, paragraph
7, section (A)it is stated:
"An average work week should be
designed as far as possible to pro-
vide for such a spread of en-
ployment as will provide work, SO
far as practical, for employees
normally attached to the particular
industry This desired end has
been substantially maintained by
daily newspapers.
IF the country at large had kept
its employment and payrolls on the
level of the newspaper industry
there would have been no need for
any codes at all.
Newspaper publishers do not
claim that this is due to any espec-
ial patriotism on their part, but
solely because a daily newspaper
by it's very nature, is under the
compulsion of continuous produc-
ton, a daily newspaper cannot
materially reduce it's forces or shut
down it's plant in keeping with re-
duced revenues. The very depreS-
sion, uncertainty and ferment
which hinder business and reduce
employment throw an increased de-
mand upon newspapers to secure

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. U.P) - A
gay outing for 81 orphans turned
into the seasons worst bathing
tragedy, with the sweep of one huge
wave that carried seven children
to death in the sea. That toll from
yesterdays beach party was set to-
day although an all night search
resulted in only one body being
found.
The six missing boys were drown
ed and their bodies swept to sea
by an undertow, coast guard Off
GERS believed. Five others, taken
from the water unconscious, re-
ceived treatment and it was be-
lieved they would recover.
| More than two-score boys were
washed into the sea when a comber
swept over sand bar on which
, they were playing.
! Guards worked so quickly picking
up victims and ferrying them
ashore that they coud not estimate
the number they brought in. One
of the most spectacular rescues was
performed by Mel CUBA, swimming
100 feet off shore. He grabbed
first one child and another as they
we're swept by him en- crestS Of
waves until he had four in his
arms. Then he was forced to call
for aid before ne reached shore.
Chaperons of the orphans were
censured by David Block jr., fore
man of the guards, who said the
tragedy could have been prevented
by little forethought.
"You would thing" Block said,
that common sense would tell
people bringing more than 100 chill
dren to the beach, that it would be
wise to ask lifeguards where the
danger spots lie. If tney had done
that we would have told them to
avoid the very section which they
chose for bathing"

ant district attorney, said there was
no evidence of criminal negligence.

BALbO LOSES

Italian Seaplane 0verturns In
Take-Off From Azores Killing
Lieutenant.
BY ADOLFO v. DAROSA
United Press Staff Correspondent

Unltcd freSS StaIf correspondent
LISBON Portugal, Aug. 9. Gen.
Balbo's air armada returned tri-
umphant but in sorrow to Europe
today after its historic flight to
Chicago.
Pride in their achievement was
mingled with mourning for the
death of Lieut.. Squalia, reserve
pilot on the seaplane I-Rani, who
was fatally injured when the plane
overturned early today as the fleet
was taking off from the Azores.
Gen. Balbo was first to bring his
plane down on the Tagus. anchor
ing at $40 a. m. est. He was fol-
lowed Immediately by IL other
planes.
The planes made a good flight
from the Azores, despite fog off
the Portuguese coast Balbo the
first to take off, lett Ponta Del
gada at 100 a. m. est, making
the flight of 900 miles to Lisbon
in seven hours and 10 minutes.
The mishap to the I-Rani was the
second fatal disaster since the
squadron left Orbetello. Italy. last
month. On the landing at Amster-
DAT, the I-Dini overturned, killing
its mechanic, Segt. Quintavalle.
In the accident to the I-Rani, at
tributed by Gen. Balbo to IAN error
in maneuvering," Capt. Raieri,
Segt. Major and Sergt. S2overi
were slightly injured.
The accident was caused by the
narrow harbor at Ponta Delgada,
which forced most of the planes to
depart from the open sea. The
three squadrons which, had based
at Horta took off without mishap.
Col. Ulisse Longo's squadron re-
NAMED behind for a time at Ponta
Delgada to look after the victims
of the Irani, but later followed the
others to Lisbon.
Lieutenant Squaglia was at first
thought to be unhurt, but developed
cerebral hemorrhage.
Both body sections of the plane
were smashed, although the wings
were intact. The plane will be
shipped to Italy, leaving only %
craft to complete the flight to Orte-
bello.
A huge crowd, including many
Italians, welcomed the flyers here.
Shouts of viva Balbo" and viva
Italy" were raised as military bands
played Italian and Portuguese airs.

0U|MET FAILS
TO QUALIFY

NEW YORK, Aug. 9. U.P)-
Francis Ouimet, that durable Bos-
tonian who won two national am
ateur and one open golf champion
ships during the past 20 years
will not be a member of the army
of American linkSmen who try to
bring the national amateur crown
back to the United States at Gin
cinnati next month.
Ouimet's failure to qualify was
the most stunning upset of yester-
days qualifying trials on % courses
throughout the United States and
in Honolulu, as 166 players for the
tourney were filled from field of
about $50 competitors.
The bespectacled, 40 year old
Ouimet was eliminated in the New
England sectional qualifying play
at Newton, Mass. He was tied for
the last of the 10 sectional places
with Jesse Guilford of Auburndale
Charley Clare of New Haven, ano
Peter Petroske of Meriden. Conn
Each had 1856 for the regulation sc
holes.
Glare and Petroske were eliminat-
ed on the first hole of the play
off, and Ouimet went out when he
took a six on the third against
Guilfords four. Guilford is a form
er amateur title holder. He and
Ouimet were semi-finalists last
year at Baltimore.
Another startling upset occurred
when Young Billy Howell of Rich
mond, Va, semi-finalist in 1894
and Walker cup player, failed to
qualify in the middle atlantic elm
nations held at Washington, D. c.
competing in a district where IL
places were open, Howell, distinct
ly off his game, tataled 1853. The
last five places we're filled by play
ers who shot 1855.

Narcotic Fines
May Be Diverted

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 9. W.H-
Additional funds for the state div
ision of narcotics may be secured
by diverting fines of narcotics vio-
lators to this law enforcement
agency.
The plan is proposed by ROLAND
Vandegrift state finance director
who futiley tried to secure an ad-
ditional appropriation for the div
ision during the midsummer legis-
lative session.
The division was cut to $4,000
for the 1885 binnium. This would
provide for only four narcotics Of
ficers. Vandergrift hopes diversion

To CURB
TAX RACKETS

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 9. UH -
Legal ammunition to squelch sales
tax racketeers was today sought by
the state board of equalization.
Professor Roger Traynor, chief
of the sales tax division, has asked
U. S. Webb, attorney general, for
an opinion on ways and means OF
curbing the tax racket.
The tax racketeers are reaping
profits by two fraudulent methods:
1. by adding a sales tax charge
on articles which are exempted.
2. BY collecting more money than
necessary for tax purposes. In nu-
merous cases merchants would sell
an article which should be taxed
only four cents. The dishonest
merchant would represent an eight
cent tax was required, and would
then pocket the difference.
Webb was asked to settle two
other questions. The board wants
TO know if it can prevent mer'
chants from absorbing the tax
themselves, instead of passing it on
to the consumer. The other is
whether or not articles sold TO the
federal government-such as sales
to C. C. c. compassionate be eX-
empt
Fred Stewart, member of the
equalization board, announced the
state had been divided up into Is
districts for the purpose of admin
istering the sales tax. Headquar-
tiers of each were Sacramento, Red
ding, Chico, Oakland, San Fran
cisco. Stockton, Fresno, Los An
geles, San Diego, Santa Barbara,
San Bernardino San Jose and Eu-
