BILL OFFERS
AD VALOREM
TAX SYSTEM
Radical Change In State System
Contained In Proposed CONT
tutional Amendment.
LEGISLATURE TO QUIT
Flood Of Bills Introduced Dur
ing Closing Hours OF Session
At Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20. U.P)-
The most revolutionary change in
California's tax system yet pro-
posed to the state legislature
reached the floor of the senate to-
day in a constitutional amendment
by Senator Bradford S. Crittenden,
Stockton.
It called for the levy of an ad
valorem tax, which would affect
every type of property owned in
California on an equal basis.
The amendment would wipe out
all present state taxes, gross re-
ceipts on public utilities, corpora
ton franchise and transportation
taxes in favor of the general state
taxes. 1t would not affect the gas
oline tax for highway purposes,
however.
This proposal goes farther than
most of the tax schemes now be-
fore the legislature in that it would
include stocks, bonds, mortgages,
and other intangible securities as
well as every other taxable prop
erty in the state" said Crittenden.
The plan further provided that
state and county tax rates be first
determined, and the collections then
made by the state, with refunds to
counties.

pending legislation in regard to
schools. McIntire pointed out that
the revenue for the support Of
schools comes from three sources,
the state, the county and the dis
trict. If the state appropriation is
cut, he stated, the county and dis
trict will naturally bear greater
school tax burden if the county
appropriation is cut, and the state
remains the same, the district will
have an extra burden, and if the
district tax is cut, the county must
meet the difference. The only So
luton to save excessive county and
district school taxes, according to
the speaker, is state sales tax 10
increase the state school appro-
priation.
McIntire stated there has been
saving of 80 per cent, or $156, 900
in school administration in Imperial
county during the past year. The
average assessed value to be drawn
on for school purposes in other
counties of the state ranges from
$4,000 to $45,O00 per child, while
in Imperial county only $4,000 is
available for taxation purposes per
child. Yet Imperial county schools
must present the same program as

BOMB FATAL
Prominent Philadelphia Ital-
ian's Home Wrecked And
Wife Killed By Blast.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. %. U.P) -
A terrific explosion today wrecked
the home of John Ill Silverstro,
friend and advisor of Premier Mus
solini of Italy, killing his vile, Hell
en-, and injuring other members Of
the family.
After seven hour search by po-
lice and firemen, Mrs. Di Silvestro's
body was found and removed from
the ruins.
His four children, Helen, Ia, Ar
mold, 10, and Anita and Gloria,
11-year-old twins, and a secretary,
who were injured in the explosion
were rescued and taken to st. Ag-
nes' hospital.
Di Silvestro, police said, was not
in the house at the time of the
explosion. He had been at the
home of friends.
Returning to the house few
minutes after the explosion, he
helped rescue members of the FAM
lily and accompanied them to the
hospital.
Police blamed the explosion on
anti-Fascists. A house adjoining
Di Silvestro's was badly damaHeti
by the blast.
Di Silvestro and his family re-
turned recently from a "trip to Italy,
where they were received by Pre-
mier Mussolini. Di Silvestro is
president of the Order of the Sons
Of Italy and is a prominent banker
here.
1t was reported that the Italian
consul in Philadelphia, Giovanni
Maria Pho Margotti had been at the
Di Silvestro home last night and
that the bomb had been intended
to kill him. He and Di Silvestro
conferred yesterday.
However, investigators were con-
vinced that the blast had been set
off by those who are opposed to Di
Silvestro's political beliefs and &C
tivities.
Detectives said the bomb, appar-
entity made Of dynamite, had ex-
ploded in the basement of the
house.

SAN DIEGO MEN PLEDGE THEIR
SUPPORT TO VALLEY INDUSTRY

In an address made before the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
of Imperial county, meeting in Ell
Centro last night, Rufus Choate
president of the San Diego harbor
commission, pledged his support,
and that of others interested in
building up San Diego's shipping
interest, in the campaign being con-
Quoted to open the coast markets
to Imperial Valleys milk.
After describing the plans for
developing the San Diego harbor,
Choate stated, II do not believe
there should be any legislative line
between the county of San Diego
and. the county of Imperial If San
Diego is going to become city of
increased size and Importance, 1t
must live on the products supplied
by the country surrounding it. I'M
perial Valleys milk and cream, If
of proper quality, should move into
the city in the same manner as the
milk and cream produced within a
few miles of San Diego. There must
be no barriers, for we cannot build
port of any size without the
whole hearted support of the I'M
perial Valley"

FORD PLANTS
STILL TIED Up

DETROIT, Jan. 28. UP)-A dozen
old employees ran the gauntlet OF
strike pickets, boos and jeers today
and signed up under the new wage
scale which officials at the Briggs
manufacturing company believe
would break a strike which had
stopped their operation and forced
all Ford Motor company plants to
close.
The few returning workers came
individually but each man was sub
jected to jeers and boos from the
80 strike pickets as IS state troop
ers, 40 Wayne county deputies and
60 Highland Park police kept the
strikers in line and moving.
A lane was roped off for all
former employees who wished to
re-employ themselves under the
new wage scale.
Police were armed with riot clubs
and tear gas bombs while nearby
four squad cars of the sheriff's Of
flee were loaded with additional
tear gas.
Chief Dan Patch of the Highland
Park force who has general charge
of the entire police unit, was fear
full lest some overt incident preci-
pitate violence.
We're sitting on top of a VOL
cano," ne told the United Press.
Officials, however, anticipated
little opportunity for trouble to-
day pointing out that the major
move for unemployment will un~
doubtedly come Monday morning.

The H. P. Garin company, one
of the largest commission houses in
California, was ordered into re-
ceivership in federal court today.
Lack of ready cash was regarded
as the reason for the receivership,
which was ordered by Federal Judge
Frank H. Kerrigan on the complaint
of the klamath Pine Lumber COM
pany and with the consent of other
creditors and Garin himself.
Judge Kerrigan appointed Garin
his own receiver, and the commits
sion merchant posted $500 bond,
promising to furnish $2250 more
when he takes over the liquidation
of the property.
Assets of the company total more
than $1,000,0OO.
The company has advanced $685.

YOUTH STAGES
BOLD ESCAPE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. %. (U.Pi -
After hours of fruitless search, Of
ficers today reluctantly approached
the conclusion that Joseph Carter,
10, had engineered spectacular es-
cape from the I5-story Hall of JUS
tics.
Carter was first missing early
today, and a search disclosed that
a 100-foot length of line had been
slashed from the flagpole on the
penthouse, and lay dangling down
the side of the building, terminal
ing at an eighth-floor window.
The assumption was that Carter,
a trusty, who was mopping the tile
floor of the penthouse recreation
court, had cut loose the line, tied
it to a pillar, climbed an eight foot
wall topped with iron spikes, and
lit himself down the rope TO the
eighth floor. There, finding him
self still more than 100 feet from
the ground, he was believed to have
forced the window and entered the
building again.
Puzzling circumstances were the
absence of footprints or finger
prints from the the window ledge
and the fact that an increasn.y
minute search of the building had
not revealed Carter.
Police thought it unlikely that
Carter had been able to stroll out
of the ground floor lobby, past a
night watchman, in his blue den-
i'm trustys garb. This and the alb
sence of signs of forcing the win
dow led to another theory, that the
rope was a blind and that Carter
actually had been aided by some
confederate who had the run OF
the building.
1t was the first escape from the
building in four years.
Carter, who came here, he said,
from New York City, was sentenced
Nov 2 on four counts of burglary.
He was arrested by Hollywood po-
lice,

POLICE FIGHT
CHICAGO RIOT

CHICAGO, Jan. %. U.P-Rioters
clashed today with steel helmeted
police near the Chicago Tribune
tower, where the Japanese consulate

side into tumult.
Within As minutes after the riot
started, l25 persons had been ar
rested, II of them women. The
women we're pushed into patrol Wag-
ons despite their screams and claw
ings. Police and prisoners ran
gasping through clouds of pepper,
thrown by the rioters.
The demonstrators, bearing pla-
cards and banners protesting ia
pans entry into Manchuria, closed
in on the tower from all streets but
were promptly met by the police
and broken into small groups.
A banner bearing hands off
China" was seized by policeman.
Before the demonstrators could re-
trieVe the banner, another squad
closed in and dispersed them, push
ing them across the Michigan ave-
nue. bridge.
Thousands of spectators, off for
the Saturday afternoon holiday
watched the demonstration and
cheered police and unemployed.

lice massed around the tower ap-
proximately rs of the demonstrators
had been arrested and raced from
the scene in patrol wagons, mobi-
lized for the occasion
Two of those arrested were War;
rem Lamson of the Chicago unem-
ployed council and Lydia Bedell, an
eX-school teacher.
First casualties included Police
man Bernard Beshon and two of
the men in the crowd.
Other policemen were hampered
by clouds of req pepper thrown by
the rioters. This phase of the battle
ended with rush of police and
the demonstrators were thrust south
of the bridge to Lake street.
