JOINT GROUP
Gets OPINION
On TAXATION
Senate And Assembly Members
Express Sentiment On Means
To Boost Revenue
AGAINST NUISANCE" TAX
Total Of Twenty-Three Pro-
posed Measures Discussed At
First Meeting

SACRAMENTO, April 30. (Un)--
Opposition to three major revenue
producing recommendations and
divided opinion on a fourth were
disclosed today when the joint le-
gislative steering committee deter
mined the members attitude on %
proposed taxation measures.
Swinging into detailed action for
the first time since its appoint
ment, the joint committee-repre-
senting a cross section OF both
hcuses-expressed itself as opposed
to the principle of gross transac-
tions taxes, a delay in the trans
fer of utility property to county tax
rolls, and the levy of an ad valorem
tax
The II members who attended
the meeting voted 6 to 6 on the
question of transferring automo-
bile taxes from counties to the
state, and were unanimously op-
posed to so-called nuisance taxes
on theatre admissions, tobacco,
cosmetics, patent remedies, jewel
,y, furs, sporting goods, sodas and
candy.
The votes taken today were
merely for the purpose of deter
mining committee attitude and
enabling the steering group to set
tie down to determination of gen.
eral tax program which might be
approved by both houses OF the le-
gislature Tomorrow, the committee
will start its discussion of rates.
The three major revenue pro-
ducing schemes which the men,
bers opposed, together with the es-
timated amount each would raise
biennially and the vote cast on the
principle of the taxes were:
/. Gross transactions, S200,000,000
to $4OO,OO0,0O0, II to l against.
2. Postpone transfer of utility
property to counties, $60,000,000, 8
, to 3, against.
3. Levy an ad valorem tax to
make up part of the deficit, $780,
100000 to $60,OOO,0O0, to against
Transfer of automobile taxes to
the state would yield approximate
ly $25,OOO,000. The committee was
divided on this proposal.
The committee discussed the idea
of exempting foodstuffs from the
sales tax, but did not vote on the
proposal. There was a general
opinion that a sales tax increase
bill would not stand a chance of
passing the assembly unless food
was exempted. Opinion as to rates
was varied.
Committee voting on other pro-
posed revenue measures fillows:
First figure eyes, second fig
ure "no. ~
Personal income tax, 10 to 2.
Bank and corporation franchise

SA SAYS

BEVERLY HILLS, April 30.
(SpeciaD-The President made a
very encouraging and hopeful
speech. On the same day Musso-
ini spoke to his people. It's in
teresting to compare the two
speeches, not so much on account
of the two men, but on account
of difference in temperament of
the two races. Mussolini said,
''you have many lean years
ahead, you must sacrifice and
bear it, Now nobody could
make that speech to us, we don It
want to be told we must "sacri-
flee and that we might have lean
years coming" But Mussolini s
plan is the best. If he brings his
people any little benefits they are
tickled to death, but if we don It
receive every benefit we are hol-
ering.

Tonight at 8 o'clock, the

Lawson Little, the broad-shoul-

three major amateur titles in a

as powerful as ever. and this
Country Club course is one for

Writer)
Bill Terry-a hard-headed, hard
boiled hombre with few, # any
illusions-said a mouthful when
he warned his Giants they need
expect no help from the other
Eastern clubs as they all headed
West for the last roundup.
Bills doleful warning is already
bearing fruit. The East on its last
swing has played seven games
against the West with only one
victory to show for their efforts
and that one is credited to the
Giants against the Reds, the
weakest of the Westerners.
And the Giants road is going to
get rougher before it gets any
smoother, for after they leave
Redland, they must face the
Cardinals, Cubs and Pirates in
their own bailiwicks and all of
these teams are fighting to i'm
prove their position.
The greatest drawback to the
Giants is their inability to stage
big rallies, such as are a daily
habit with the Cardinals. The
Giants hit often enough, but
rarely do they bunch their hits in
one big inning. The result is they
must get great pitching to win.
Terry Gets Five Hits
They made 10 hits off young AL
Hollingsworth yesterday, but five
of these were made by Terry him.
self and they wound up on the
short end of a Al score. The Reds
made only seven hits off Castle
man, but they punched two of
these with a pass to load the bags
for Alex Kampouris to clear with
a triple.
The defeat dropped the New
Workers three games back of the
Cards and only two percentage
points ahead of the Cubs, and sent
Eddie Brannick, the Giants home
secretary. on a still hunt for crepe
to hang on the door.
Those rollicking, happy-go-lucky
Cards walloped the Braves, 1853,
scoring their runs in clusters Of 3,
5, 5 and 2, the result Of 19 re-
sounding Smackeroos. And the
Braves kicked in with five errors
to make life easier and more
pleasant for Phidety Phil Collins.
Well, there was one game Phil
didn't have to fidget much about.
Forced to Limit
The Cubs had their hands full
with the Phils who forced therl
to travel II meats before bowling,
3 to 2. Davis and Root hooked
up in a neat little pitchers battle.
Each allowed seven hits. An
error, sandwiched in between two
walks and Demaree's hit gave the
Cub veteran the decision.
The Pirates trailed Lefty Clark
and the Dodgers for seven innings
and then punched Suhr's homer,
Hafey's double and a couple of
passes with two singles for four
runs and the ball game, 50. Lefty
Birkofer, who worked eight IN
nings for the Bucs, was credited
with the victory.
Rain washed out all games ex-
cept a Boston-Cleveland double
header in the American League.
The Indians won the first 81 and
dropped the nightcap, 81. Hudlin
outpitched Grove in the opener
and Wes Ferrell hung up his 21St
victory in the second against Lee
