SENATE VOTES
PUBLICITY ON
INCOME TAXES
Action Inspired By Admission
Morgan, Kahn And Others
Did Not Make Returns.
BILL GREATLY CHANGED
Upper Body Increases Provis-
ions For Revenue Set By Low
er Branch.
BY ii. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April ID. - The
senate today passed a tax bill
which carried a provision for max
ing income tax returns public, low
er levies than at present on small
incomes and sharply higher taxes
on large estates which constitute
family fortunes handed down from
generation to generation.
The measure also closes loopholes
which in the past have been under
the tax avoidance.
The publicity provision was voted
al to "a and reflected reaction
from the senate investigation
which showed j. P. Morgan, the
late Otto Kahn and other Wall
street figures paid no income taxes
in one or more recent years.
The bill is greatly changed since
it passed the house on February 81.
It now goes to conference for shap-
ing into a measure which can be-
ccme law with the approval of the
two houses.
The new income tax rates are
lower than at present on smaller
incomes despite senate adoption of
the amendment by Senator James
CouZens (Rep) Michigan, adding a
blanket 10 per cent increase on all
income taxes.
For instance, a married man with
no dependents who now pays a tax
Of 500 on an income of $4,000
would pay $88-$80 in regular tax
and SO in the Couzens "revovery
tax
Doubt House Stand
There was some doubt whether
the house would accept the Couz-
ems plan. This is an election year.
Many congressman think their
chances of reelection would be les
sened by imposition of tax which
would be felt in every taxpayers
pocketbook. ....
The senate bill imposed tax of
3 cents per pound on cocoanut
Oil, sesame Oil, PAIN OIL, palm-Ker-
mel Oil. sunflower oil, imported
whale oil, imported fish oil, i'm
ported marine-animal oil,
Most of such products come from
the Philippines. President Roose-
welt opposes such a tax. Some
thought he might veto the bill on
this ground.
The senate completed action on
the tax bill after nearly two weeks
of debate.
The bill came from the house
with a potential revenue of $685.
100000 The senate finance conf
mittee gave it form calculated to
bring in $330,00O,0O0 Addition of
senate amendments, principally the
Ccuzens 10 per cent tax and the La
Toilette estate taxes, raised the
amount of expected revenue to
nearly $500,000,000.

j. 8. To GET
insult TODAY

United Press Staff Correspondent
ENROUTE TO SMYRNA, Tur-
key, April ia more confident
Samuel insult, seemingly reconciled
to extradition, was to be handed
over to the American federal gov
eminent in Smyrna harbor today.
Shaking off the depression that
gripped him during his detention
at Istanbul, the 74-year-old utili-
ties man, facing trial on fraud
charges, braced up on the Ship-rail
journey to Smyrna and the Amer
lean steamship Exilona.
He chatted pleasantly and fired
wisecracks lat newspapermen.
When someone asked him why he
went to Istanbul, insult said wry-
ly:
II am beginning to wonder my
self.''
cit will need more than brain
trust to turn the United States
Communistic
This was aboard the little passen-
ger packet Adana, which took In
sull from Istanbul TO Panderma.
where he entrained for Smyrna
and the Exilona, to be handed over
formally to Burton Y. Berry, third
secretary of the American legation
to Turkey, and then to be entrust-
ed for the 5000 mile voyage to
Boston to Major John A. Crane,
American military attache, and
Captain Wensel Habel of the Exil-
ona.
Part Of his good spirits was due
to the presence next to him of
Feri Hanum, Turkish school mis-
tress and a former student at Chi
cago. He pilotely handed dishes to
her and once smilingly said:
cit takes seven strong men to
guard me-
He chatted for three hours, smok-
ing cigarettes continually, before he
retired at IL, to be awakened at
S a. m. today, 21a hours after the
Adana had locked at Panderma.
He went directly to the Smyrna
train.

ARE YOU INVESTIGATING
AGAIN, Mr.. c. T. SADLER?

Good evening, Mr.. c. T. Sadler, special
representative of the federal trade COM
mission.
A little Bird (you know what little
bird" is, don't you Mr.. Sadler?) told US you
are in town.
We do hope you will call and see us, for
you neglected to pay us visit when you
were here in 1928 or 1922 and "again in
1888" as you testified before the federal
trade commission on March 7, 1884
Perhaps you don't know where The Press
office is, SO this is to inform YOU AS you
stand on the corner of Sixth and State
street at the Imperial Irrigation District
headquarters, getting additional "accur-
ate" information on Imperial Valley, and
conversing with Mark Rose, just take a
sighting slant southwest by southwest and
a quarter, and you will see funny-colored,
pinkish-gray one story building on the
south side of State street.
There is sign on the building which
reads ''The Imperial Valley Press" That's
us. You know what Miss Mae West says?
She says "C'mup n see me sometime" We
are going to change that a bit in extending
an invitation to you. Come up and see us
any old time, night or day and we most
certainly will be glad to welcome you and
to educate you too, for your testimony be-
fore the federal trade commission indicates
that you badly need educating-on I'M
perial Valley"
We presume (don't object to us presum-
ing for you presun ed plenty in your testi-
mony) you are here to investigate the
Southern Sierras Power company. We hope
you do investigate them-plenty You
didn't half do the job when you were here
in 1928 or 1929" Joe King says you never
even called upon him and Bob Moore says
the same thing. How in heck you could do
good job of investigating without seeing
the "big shots Of the thing to be investi-
gated, is beyond us, but then, Mr. Sadler,
we are rather dumb perhaps
We certainly are rather dumb in trying
to figure out how you arrived at the test-
mony you gave on page 394O7 OF the report
of the trade commission hearing.
There you name two valley papers and
state (under oath too, Mr.. Sadler) that they
are the only papers in the valley not editor-
ally antagonistic to the All-American canal.
The Press is not one Of these papers, Mr.
Sadler, SO we are going to make you pro-
position. Our files from January 16, 1922,
until April Is, 1893, are open and at your
disposal Search them as much and as often
as you will, and if you find therein single
line of editorial matter even remotely an
tagonistic to any phase of the Colorado
river development project, we will buy you
the finest hat-better still, the finest suit
OF clothes, you ever wore.
We'd like to ask you a question alsO Mr.
Sadler. How could you testify (under oath

STATE SALES
TAX UPHELD
Supervisors Of Various Counties
Oppose Proposition To Repeal
Measure.

SACRAMENTO, April 10. UP) -
County authorities throughout Cali
fornia today were on record against
repeal of the 21s per cent retail
sales tax, imposition of an ad va
loren tax by the state or substitu-
ton of single tax plan to replace
the present revenue sources of the
state.
This action was taken here by
members of the County Tax Equal
ization Association of California
made up mainly of supervisors and
ether statutory officers.
G. E. Grier, San Bernardino
county supervisor, sounded the key
note of the meeting when he point
ed out that common property tax
payers lave reached the end oil
their rope"
IF it were not for the Riley
Stewart tax plan with the sales
tax Grier said, many of oul
| schools would have been closed al
ready.
Many people feel that the only
| fair tax is the tax the other fellow
Gays. These are the persons who
feel the sales tax should be repeal
ed. The sales tax is a fair means
of distributing public school costs.
For similar reasons it was point
ed out that single tax would only
put the burden back on property.
The resolution against the impo-
sition of an ad valorem tax was
offered by S. D. Butts, Ventura SUI
pervisor, because such a tax would
cause a general non-payment Of
property taxes throughout the
state, thereby destroying credit oil
local and state government with
disastrous consequences"
Both resolutions were passed BY
unanimous vote.
SACRAMENTO, April 10. (U.P)-
A rebellion of California county SUI
pervisors against policies of the fed
eral and state relief administrations
simmered down today after R. c
Brandon, state emergency relief ad-
miniStrator, explained tie law anc
announced flatly there is nothine
to be done about it,"
After Brandon made his positicr
clear the supervisors passed a reso-
luton of appreciation for his expla-
nations, despite the fact that earlier
yesterday several threatened to &c
over Branion's head and deal di-
rectly with the federal government

(SpeciaD-Well, Mr.. Roosevelt

It's like all the Investigations.
It's absolutely necessary, it's go

If there is men in this coun-

it should be known by the

 Last One
 I've got my heart set on riding another Derby winner" he said, and I'm not going to quit until I do. Why should I quit? Whats wrong with me? I've still got my share of nerve, and, know it. Given the horse, I can still do jus tice to 1t In a race. Riding Derby winners isn't necessarily a job for the young. It's no different than riding any other race. It just needs brains and common sense"
 It wasn't long after the Derby that Steve answered those critics who said he was past his prime, and should rest on { his laurels while those laurels were bright and green. He answered them with one of the greatest perform ances of his career.
 He had a leg upon Brown Jack in the Alexandra Stakes at Ascot. Six times in succession he had booted the gallant gelding to vic tory in this race. But this year the critics said would see the finish of the winning partnership-that the ten, year old Brown Jack and the 51-year old Steve would at last give way to youth.
 For all but the final 200 yards it seemed they would be right. With the winning post but stone s throw off, Steve and Brown JacK were second. But then came that cry:
 Come on, Steve! Come on, Steven' " ~ rt'
 With it the old jockey leaned over. and whispered in Brown Jack's ear. And. the. old horse needing no whip, pounded into the lead and passed the judges stand in scene unequalled in Ascot his tory.

Close analysts of comparative strength believe the American, will barely scrape through in the series of 12 events in which Princeton and Cornell university stars from the United States are matched with athletes of Oxford and Cambridge.
 Doping 1t Out
 These predictions include a vic- tory for LoVelock over Bonthron the British experts being very skeptical of the ability of the great Tiger runner to overtake the New Zealander. who beat him last year but has recorded only mediocre times this season.
 The fact that the White City track is notoriously slow, having been cut recently by an American rodeo. coupled with Lovelock' s noted capacity for winning under difficulties accounts for the preva- lence of this view. American ob- servers believe the British under rate Bonthron's competitive drive The race is expected to be won around 4:15 today. although Bon- thron and Lovelock both have scored well under 4.10.
 The Oxford Cambridge team in- cludes four Americans. Fentor Gentry, Charles Stanwood, R Greenough and William Atkins Stanwood Is the big star of the British team, competing in the low and high hurdles and high jump.

Terryville, July 21-The Terry vile Eagles baseball team will journey to Waterville, Sunday afternoon where they will meet the strong Waterville nine in an Naugatuck Valley league contest.
 In the previous engagement be- tween the two teams, Waterville won the contest. Since that con- test. however. Terryville has shown much improvement in play as was shown in their contest with the Thomaston Kaceys two weeks ago when they whitewashed the Kaceys to the tune of 11-0.
 Either Tom Halpin, manager of the team and who has been play ing ball for nearly 25 years or Johnny Olson will be on the mound for the locals when. the game starts. Tommy Flynn and Leo Berg will also be available for mound duty.
 Johnny Cavannaro, one of the outstanding catchers in the league and who is leading the league in hitting will be on the receiving end for the local team.
 To Play with All Stars Mike Fill. second baseman of the Terryville Eagles and Johnny Olson will appear in the Princeton A. A. lineup in Watertown this afternoon when the Watertown nine meets the strong House of David nine.

Followers of both teams will be out in full force to encourage their favorites to move up toward the top spot. At o'clock, the Trib- unes take on the lowly Recreations, who cannot possibly be expected to win because of their playing calibre which has not been able to turn in a victory for them in nine starts. The other leading club, Harry Melvin's Sacred Heart club has the Brooklyn A. c. to contend with, and if any shock is coming it will be in that game, though the east enders have been going like the proverbial house afire, and must be figured to win when doping out the game in ad- vance.
 Too Bad
 Loss of Lefty Atwood will un- occasionally cost the Thomas club whatever chances they may have had to win the pennant. for Guer- rera and Ouimet are not capable enough to hold off batters such as Mullen, Devito, Happy Shea, Martino, Mulligan, and Stroka- laitis who vii lface them tomor- row, unless the Tommies show a new pltCner SuCn dS MdHuy IFeeLl of Thomaston, or some one of equal ability.
 Apple Knockers
 In their own right, the Tommies have some slick stickers such as Mueller, Bossy Harnick, Herb Colby, Bob Greatorex, Bubbles Balinsky and Danny Briotti who may make things plenty tough for Strokalaitis tomorrow.
 Fay Vincent, slugging first base man of the Tribunes is hitting .529 to top the league batters for nine games with Everett Murphy of the Hearts runner-up with a All mark and Doran of the Hearts. Johnny Egan of the Trib- unes, Hap Shea of the Hills and Zedgryn of Brooklyn following in that order.
