FEDERAL LAWS
WOULD HELP
THIS STATE

SACRAMENTO. May % WP -
Two proposed federal laws now be-
fore congress would give California
approximately s9,0O0,000 in addi-
tional revenue, according to Fred f.
Stewart. member of the state board
of equalization. He spent several
weeks in Washington working for
passage of the bills.
One would liberalize the right OF
states to tax national banks. Cali
fornia, until 1929, taxed banks and
corporations by a method tax ex-
perts said conflicted with the fed
eral law. The legislature then en-
acted a new state tax and revenue
from banks fell approximately S.
100000 annually. Under terms of the
proposed new federal law the state
legislature could authorize taxation
of banks on a basis that would re-
turn between S5,0O0,000 and S6,000,-
600 annually, Stewart said.
The other bill would permit states
having sales taxes to place tax on
interstate shipments. AT present, in
coming shipments escape the tax

TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT P.O.
CRITICIZED BY LOCAL RANCEIER

A well-known rancher of the Ell
Centro district, who has been max
ing observations of traffic condi-
tions in Ell Centro, and who re-
quested that his name not be made
public, today visited The Press
office and impaired some sugges-
tions which he believes will bring
about improvement.
"Before the new post office was
started,' he said, ~ visited the
postmaster and suggested tn a t
parking space for 80 to SO cars be
provided for in front of the post
office. This could be done by set
ting the building back.
"The architect IS plans, which
had already been approved, pre-
vented this being done, conse-
quently patrons of the post office
must park on the streets as best
they can, thus causing consider
able cnfusion, particularly between
8 and 10 a. m. when patronage at
the post office is the heaviest.
"There is space at the rear of
the post office to provide park
ing space, but am informed that
lawn is to be planted there. Un.
der other conditions I would favor
a lawn but think a suitable park
ing space for cars would be of
greater benefit to the people of Ell
Centro.
1.-The post office is entirely a6e-
quate for the Ell Centre of the
present, but in SO years this city
will have a population of 100000
persons. There is every reason to
believe it will be as large as the
Fresno of today. While parking
space for 30 to SO cars may seem
too much now, it is not going to
be enough in the future.
81 also think there should be a
city ordinance regulating parking
on both sides of the street in front
of the post office, reserving that
space, especially between a. m.
and 10 a. M, for post office patrons.
At present trucks and cars whose
owners have business outside the
post office block, frequently park
their cars in this space making it
necessary for the post office pa
irons to go onto side streets and
even a block away from the post
office.
~ would like to see the cham
ber of commerce, the city council,
or some other agency take up the
matter of parking facilities at the
post office and see what can be
done
"Also I would like to endorse an
air-cooling system for the post
office. If an architect designed
building in New York, Boston or
Chicago, without adequate heating
facilities, he would be considered

CREEL PLANS
TO FOLLOW
MIDDLE ROAD

LOS ANGELES, May 20. U.P) -
The middle road, branching neither
to the extreme left or extreme
right Is the logical way for the
Democratic party to trod to victory
in the current campaign, George
Creel Democratic candidate for
governor, told his campaign COM
mittee here today.
Warning his followers against ex-
treme liberals and reactionaries
alike, Creel pointed a finger of scorn
at Upton Sinclair, his rival for the
Democratic nomination.
81 am convinced that the Demo-
cratic party will not let a Socialist
hitch-hiker thumb ride to Sacra-
mento," Creel said. He did not men,
ton Sinclair by name.
Classifying his supporters as true
progressives," the speaker exhorted
them to "be sane as we'll as bold" in
adhering to middle course.

A DEAD ANT

Ants May Be Cute and Interesting
But Not in the Soup or Butter
The old saying that the only good
Indian is dead Indian applies even
more strongly to ants, which are
unquestionably one of the greatest
nuisances with which the average
housewife has to contend. Smart
as the ant is, however, its elimina-
ton is comparatively simple mat
ter. All that is necessary, is to
spread a little of that marvellous
remedy, Kellogg's Ant Paste, where
the ants are accustomed to appear,
and the speed with which every ant
will leave the house is nothing short
of amazing. Kellogg's can be OBJ
tanned at all druggists. Order
