Telling 'em. Stirred by a
growing tendency of his fellow
townsmen to use the newspaper
for everything but advertising,
a South Dakota editor recently
asked them pertinently, in a
page one box: eff a member of
your family died, would you
send out circular letter? If
your wife entertained, would
you run a slide on the screen of
the movie show? If you were
to enlarge your store, would
you tell folks in a hotel regis
ter? If you were to have a
wedding at your house, would
you tack the news on a tele-
phone post? Then why in
heck don't you put your ad-
vertising in the newspaper,
toe?"

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26. WH
-SERA officials today planned for
expending $2O0,OOO,00o as Califor-
MAS share of the four billion dol
lar work RELIEF appropriation to be

JURY ACQU|TS
ACTRESSES IN
PERJURY CASE
Similar Charges To Be Filed
Against Playwright Who
Accused Women

LOS ANGELES, June 26 U.1 -
Wilma Aknay and Sari Fedak, Hun
garian actresses, were acquitted to-
day of charges they conspired to
file a false $250,000 breach of
promise suit against Ernest Vajda,
noted playwright.
Both women wept hysterically
when the verdict was read at noon
in the court of Superior Judge Wal
ter j. Desmond. A jury of 10 men and
two women had been out since 4
p. m. yesterday.
AS the verdict was returned, Vajda
himself faced an inquiry into cer-
tain phases of his testimony alleged
to have varied before the grand
jury and the superior court.
Judge Desmond announced he
would order an investigation into
the asserted testimony of Vajda be-
fore the grand jury that he never
had promised to marry Miss Aknay
as contrasted with his admission in
court that he had written letter,
which was introduced in evidence,
in which he promised to marry the
actress.
Prosecution attorneys indicated
that separate charge of perjury
against Miss Aknay probably would
be dismissed.
When the verdict was read, Miss
Fedak and Miss Aknay threw their
arms about each other and then
fervently embraced their attorney
Harry F. Sewell
I'VE are elated," the actresses
said between sCbs of joy.
Sewell announced he would file a
civil suit against Vajda, in which he
would ask 100000 damages on
charges of malicious prosecution.
Our suit will be based upon the
fact that the indictment against
these two women was returned on
perjTed testimony by Vajda, Sewell
said.
Miss Fedak will sail for Budapest
July to fulfill theatrical engage
ment.

Senate Approval
For Extension, OF
Nuisance Taxes

WASHINGTON, June 26. W.R)-
The senate today approved the
Joint resolution extending the So
called nuisance taxes, thus clearing
the way for more leisurely consid-
Grafton of the new Roosevelt tax
program.
The broader tax program, con-
templating higher levies against in
heritances and larger incomes, will
be initiated in the house.
Administrator leaders gave as
surances that congress will be held
in session until the Roosevelt pro-
posals are acted upon.
The joint resolution already has
been passed by the house but a
conference will be necessary to de-
termine whether the extension is
for one or two years.
The senate version continued the
taxes for one year only. while the
resolution as it came from the
house carried the extension until
1897.

WALKER GIVES
FINE ADDRESS
To CHAMBER R
Assemblyman Discusses Recent
Legislation With Particular
Reference To Taxation

Forced to skip many of the high
spots while attempting to crowd the
experiences of six months into a
half hours talk, Assemblyman
Clarence Walker gave an interest
ing and instructive talk on the re-
cent session of the state legislature
at the chamber of commerce
luncheon this noon.
Taxation, in general. and bills
which had distinctive bearing on
Imperial county, formed the chief
theme of the talk.
Walker explained the automobile
tax bill, signed today by the gov
ernor, which calls for levy of SITS
per $100 valuation 25 per cent of
which is returned to cities, 1919 per
cent to counties and the balance to
the state. He believed this diviS-
ion is fair and at least partially re-
imburSeS the state for the loss of
revenue when public utilities were
transferred from the state to coun-
ty tax rolls.
He favored the income tax which
met a hard fight in the assembly
but was eventually passed and has
become a law, and also voted for
the two year extension of the NOR
atorium law.
The asSembiyman asserted he re-
gretted the defeat OF the severance
tax bill as he believed it would be
a good thing for the state as it
would have raised considerable rev.
enue and at the same time would
not have been a burden to any
great extent, on Imperial county
He opposed the bill for a con-
Stitutional convention in the belief
that present times are SO trouble
some that the matter of rewriting
the constitution can, with wisdom,
be deferred until more stable con-
ditions arrive.
The legislative experiences he en-
countered were interesting, instruc-
tive, and at times entertaining, he
said. 1t is necessary to play pol
iticS," insofar as one votes with an
assembly when the bill he is back
ing does not injure ones own dis
trict and in return, one can count
on support from those he has sup
ported when his own measure is
presented.
The assemblyman said there is
! considerable belief among members
of the legislature that the bills pro-
viding for revenue to meet the
states needs are not sufficient to
balance the budget but that it is
impossible to estimate the amount
that will be raised by the various
levies, and not until the returns
start coming. in can the truth or
falsity of the belief be determined.
A large crowd greeted the assem-
blyman and President Sem Bacon
presided.

sumed on the picnic.

LAWYERS SURE
Of ACQU|TTAL

OLYMPIA, Wash, June 26. U.P)
Margaret Valley, indicted with
her husband and William Mahan
in the Weyerhaeuser kidnapping,
will tell her story of the Pacific
northWest's first major abduction
as a witness at her trial which
opens July 5, it was indicated to-
day.
John F.. Dore, Seattle attorney
retained as her counsel, decided to
place the blonde Utah girl on the
witness stand in her own defense
after comforting with Mrs. Valley
in the Thurston county Jail here.
Another witness probably will be
her husband, Harmon Metz Valley,
now in Mcneil Island federal peni-
tentiary serving a 45-year sentence
following his plea of guilty.
Dore was confident of winning
an acquittal for the 19-year-old
wife. The government, he said, had
"one chance in ten" of convicting
her of conspiracy to use the mails
to defraud and of violating the
Lindbergh law.
According to Harmon Valleys
story, she knew nothing of the ac-
tual kidnapping of 9-year-old
George Weyerhaeuser of Tacoma
and had no other actual participa-
ton in the crime.
Dore said a note demanding
100000 ransom from John Philip
Weyerhaeuser, father of the boy
had been written by Mahan, who is
a fugitive. The attorney, former
Seattle major, said Mahan then
broke the typewriter he had used
and threw it into Lake Washington
near Seattle.

as a means of starting general con-
