zANGARA GETS
EIGHTY YEARS
Continued From Page ID

attempted to assassinate Mr.
Roosevelt.
Stomach trouble which had bo-
thered him for a long time first
prompted his hatred for "presi-
dents and kings" the assassin said,
his dark eyes flashing.
He said he did not know that
Mayor Cermak was one of those
who fell under the volley of pistol
shots he fired at the President
elects automobile.
1T was all because of my sto-
mach he said, referring to his
attack. 1T was because my father
put me to work for a capitalist

the assassin continued, apparently
referring to "the capitalist"
Intended To Kill
81 wanted to make it fifty fifty.
Since my stomach hurt, I had to
get even with capitalist"
He shrugged and his voice raised
suddenly to a high pitch which
made his broken English difficult
to understand.
"I kill the President" he said in
shrill voice.
Don't you want to live?" the
judge asked.
Again the Shrug. Il don't care. I
sick. My stomach almost burning
up."
TIE judge questioned him con-
corning the shooting.
Zangara responded willingly,
saying that he die not attempt to
fire until Mr. Roosevelt had finished
a short speech, made from the
back of an automobile, and slid
back down to the seat.
There were too many people in
front of me-" zangara explained.
Il want to aim good-straight at
him. had to wait" He paused,
then elaborated on his explanation.
"I wouldn't shoot anybody else
except they get in my way while
pistol pointed at Roosevelt"
Aren't you sorry for what you
did?" refenSe counsel asked.
mo, not sorry, not sorry about
nothing" Zangara said defiantly.
Haven't people been nice to you
in this country?" Judge Collins
asked.
mo, nobody kind to me-" zan-
CARA replied.
The judges reference to more
later" concerned two of the five
persons wounded by the shots fired
at Mr.. Roosevelt. They are Mayor
Anton j. Cermak of Chicago and
Mrs. Joseph H. Gill, both of whom
were reported somewhat better to-
day at Jackson Memorial hospital.
Their condition is still serious,
however, and should one of them
die, Zangara would be charged with
murder.
The sheriff's office indicated
zangara probably would be sent to
Raiford penitentiary, although he
may be held here in the skyscrap-
er Jail until the outcome of the
wounds of Cermak and Mrs. Gill
is certain.

Man Wounded I'm
City Jail Fight

Kangaroo court finances this
morning led to a heated argument
in the FL Centro city Jail, which
in turn led to physical violence be-
tween Joe Salcedo, 26, serving a 80
Gay term for petty theft, and Jesse
Jones, 10. Negro. serving a 60 day
term for vagrancy, and sent Jones
TO the hospital for treatment for a
scalp wound from a razor blade in
Salcedo's hands.
Police learned that Salcedo OBJ
jected to Jones account of kan
garoo court funds. Jones, whose
term expires March 81, would have
been released on half time because
Of good behaviour, except for the
battle this morning which resulted
in a wound over his left ear.
Jones wound was not serious.
Although no charges had been filed
this morning against either man, it
Is probable that both will be forced
to serve their entire sentences, in
stead of being released on "good
time"

Information On
Your Income Tax

The normal tax rate is per cent
on the first $4,000 of net income
in excess of the personal exemp-
ton, credit for dependents, ETC.;
ond 8 per cent on the remainder
of such excess amount. The sur
tax rates-in computing which
many taxpayers make mistakes, US
ually to their own disadvantage
begin on net incomes in excess OF
$4,000. The rates increase in ac-
cordance with the amount of net
income included in varying So.
called income tax brackets. On
net income of $4,000 or less there
is no surtax. On net income in
excess of $4,000 and not in ex-
cess of $4,000 the rate is l per
cent of such excess. The surtax
upon net income of $4,000 is $40
and upon net income in excess
of $4,000 and not in excess of
$12, 900, the rate is 2 per cent in
addition of such excess. The sur
tax on a net income of $1,000,000,
is $49l AGO, and upon a net income
in excess Of $1,000,000 in addition
SIS per cent of such excess, maxi
mum rate. Many taxpayers make er-
ror Of applying maximum rate in
stead of the rate provided for in the
bracket in which their net income
is included.
Following is an example of how
to compute the tax on a net in
come of $14,500, the taxpayer be-
ing single and without dependents:
Net income .............................Sl ia ,5OO
Less personal exemption ~ 1000
Balance taxable .................... 1880
4 per cent normal tax on
first $4,000 .................-........... 160
9 per cent normal tax on
balance of $500 ........... 760
SurtaX of $140 on $4,000,
plus per cent on $500
in excess of that amount =. 100
Total normal tax and sur
TAX ............................. 1,080
The earned income credit al
lowed individuals under the rev.
enue act of 1928 is entirely omit
ted from the revenue act of 1882.
Therefore, no earned income credit
may be, taken for the calendar year
1882 or succeeding taxable years.
Taxpayers are advised to read
carefully the instructions on Form
1040 relating to the surtax, as well
as all instructions thereon, before
preparing their returns.

GOVERNOR URGES
MONTANA PROJECTS
Appeals to Public Works
Board for Program to Place
1000 at Work.
BY L. NJ. THAYER.


HELENA. Mont, August 26.-Gov
Frank H. Cooney has appeared before
the Montana Public Works Board to
advocate three projects, designed to
provide work for more than 1000 men,
The projects are extension of the Sun
River reclamation system, near Great
Falls; the Musselshell flood control
plan, near Roundup, and the Boulder
irrigation system in Jefferson County
Donald A. McKinnon is engineer in
charge of public works in this State and
has several projects under consideration,
besides the above. More than 125
projects have been tentatively advanced
James A Murray of Butte is chairman
of the Montana Public Works Board.
The manufacture Of Montana dairy
products has advanced during the first
seven months of 1888, over a similar
period OF 1892, according to B. F.
Thrailkill, chief of the dairy division
of the State Department of Agriculture.
Butter production in July, this year,
was the highest for any month since
1880. Butter production for the year
to July 81 was 9.063.567 pounds, COM
pared to 6,851935 for the period in
1882. Ice cream and cheese also show
encouraging gains.
The State Department of Agriculture
announces that acting under authority
granted under licensing and grading
laws enacted by the last legislature it
has succeeded largely in eliminating
flood of medium and low grade farm
products that had been pouring into the
State by truck. So successful has been
the campaign that it is estimated that
nearly 100 per cent of produce moving
in the State is being inspected. graded
branded and handled by licensed oper-
ators.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RENO, New, August 26.-Just when
things look blacklist in this old Battle
Born" State, something comes up to
break through the clouds and at least
make the situation look better.
A week ago there appeared little
hope for the early return to this state
of anything resembling normal condi-
tionS. The live stock situation was far
from profitable, the hay crops looked
like they would be very short and there
was no encouragement for the mining
industry.
The situation is brighter this week.
There has been new mining strike.
So far it is only prospect, with the
finding OF rich streaks of ore, but there
has been a stampede to the location
and claims fer several miles around
have been taken up. Whether they
will ever be worked will depend on
further development of the original
discovery
The discovery was made about 10
miles northwest of the town of Winnie
mucca. in the north central part of
the State. in what is known as the
Jackson range. The ScosSa brothers,
who located what is now known as the
camp OF Scossa, two years ago, found
the ledge of rich ore while tracing up
the origin of placer gold that had been
found in nearby creek beds
Picked samples from the ledge which
contains narrow vein of rich ore, run
as high as $1,000 a ton in gold and
about half that in silver
The discoverers admit it is too early
to predict any quantity of the ore. 1t
is a fine looking prospect. They will
have no trouble obtaining money for
development, particularly if the progress
made is satisfactory
