inion here. even among those who
favor the retention Of the sales tau.
is that the three per cent rate is high
enough, if not too high already, and
that its hould not be increased. There
are some who maintain that If the
exemptions are removed, the rate
should be lowerede to two per cent,
since it is agreed in most circles that
two per cent sales tax with no ex-
emptions would yield as much as the
present three per cent sales tax with
the exemptions.
But if any move is made to remove
the exemptions or to change the sales
tax law materially from its present
form, the move must be made by in
dividual members of the General AS
sembly outside the pale Of admins
tration influence, according to pre-
sent indications. For the policy of the
administration seems to be to let we'll
enough alone and not to stir up any
antagnoism to the present sales tax
law. Many here think this is good
political strategy.

But it is no secret that the White

to insist OH at least a $3.50 voice in

The preesnt law pretty much as it is
and ask for its reenactment in vir-
tually its present form. For the gov
crnor is am ember of the Advisory
Budget Commission and it undoufot-
edly would recommend some changes
in the sales tax law if he desired it.
But he is evidently willing to let it
go before the new legislature vir-
tually as it was enacted by the 1888
assembly.
This does not mean, however, that
10 efforts will be made to change the
sales tax law. The opponents of the
sales tax will, of course, try to pre-
vent its reenactment at all, or if un-
successful in defeating it, will try to
wreck it with amendments and addi-
tional exemptions, most observers
lcre agree. There is no doubt that a
determined fight will be made by
hose merchants who are still bitterly
opposed to the sales tax, the State
Federation of Labor and few other
groups to defeat it entirely
On the other hand, it is also evident
hat very strong group is not only
going to favor it's rcenactment, but
Will also try to tighten UP the pre-
sent law so that it will produce sew
eral million dollars year more than
it has been yielding. 1t is generally
agreed that if the various exemptions
now permitted should be removed, the
present three per cent sales tax
would yield from 100000 to $3,000,-
900 more revenue a year than it is
now bringing in. The present law ex-
nmpts the basic foodstuffs, such a.
meat, milk. lard. flour. sugar, salt,
mcal. coffee and molasses. as well as
all farm products produced by farm
crs and sold direct by them to the
consumers. There are in all some 10
specific exemptions, SO that approxi-
matcIy 3S per cent Of all retail trans
actions in the State are now exempt
| from the sales tax.
Those who are seeking increased
appropriations from the General AS
sembly-and they are many-already
| realize that most OF the tXa sources
are being drained to the limit and
that there are virtually no new sour
ccs that can be tapped. AS d result,
there is no doubt that many Of these
arc going to try to increase thcr re-
venue Of the State by attempting TO
strike out most, il not all, OF the pre-
| sent exemptions IN the sales tax law.
| The more-money-fo -for-sChoolS group,
for instance, which has already an
bounced it will seek to have the ap-
preparation for the public schools in
creased from the $l6,OO0,OOO they are

arc known to be looking with long
ing eyes towards the $2,OO0,OOO to 3d.
O0O 900 more Il year which could be
obtained by removing the exemptions
in the present sales tax Jaw.
So far there has been nothing
heard here of any move to increase
the rate of the sales tax from three
per cent to four per cnt, and the be-
lief is that if such "a move is maqe
IT. would be bitterly opposed by the.
present administration. In fact, OPP

line up my business will be ruined. :"
1 strongly recommend thorough
grand jury investigation, and the
indictment of those who have been
guilty of law violation in connec-
ton with an apparently organized
campaign of terrorism and intimi-
dation.
Particularly do I recommend the
investigation of the following:
l. The kidnapping and abuse of At
torney A. L. Wirin on January %,
and the running of his automobile
over an embankment on January "a.
1t seems to be common knowledge
that one deputy sheriff and another
county official were involved in
these affairs.
2. The conviction on February 81
of Emma Cutler on charge of vag-
rancy when she had been in Imper-
ial Valley prior to her arrest, not
more than very few hours.
8. The assault upon Attorney Gro
yer johnson under the shadow of
the court house at Ell Centro, on
March %. 1t seems to be common
knowledge that one county official
participated in the assault, and two
county officials stood over him in
manner, one of whom is
reputed by several witnesses to have
declared, when Attorney Johnson
asked for his eyeglasses: IF you
ever return to Imperial Valley, you
won't need any eye glasses" or
words to that effect.
In connection with this investiga-
ton there should be brought to light
the interview by the sheriff, and
the prior interview with another
county official, which have sub
stantial reason to believe took place
in the judges office on March %,
prior to the hearing of the writ of
habeaS corpus which resulted in the
release of two defendants (Pat

Mellon And Mills
Suits Dismissed

WASHINGTON, June 26. U.P) -
Damage suits aggregating s2,000,000
against Andrew w. Mellon and Og-
den L. Mills, which resulted from
their acts while secretaries of the
treasury, have been dismissed by the
District of Columbia court of ap-
peals.
The suits were filed in behalf of
oleomargerine manufacturers, who
charged they had been driven out
of business by unlawful taxation. A
low court held that Mellon and
Mills acted in their official capacity
and were not subject to court de-
crees. That decision was affirmed
by the court of appeals.
1--WE are cited,' the decision read,
ito no case wherein the secretary of
the treasury personally has been
held liable for an erroneous assess
ment of taxes"
