GETTING DOWN Low


The big corporations, battling tooth
and toenail against the Presidents pro-
posed tax program, are going to get some
help from an unexpected quarter, none
other than the little fellow" usually
considered the perpetual and perennial
foe of the corporations.
In addition to the 'soak-the-rich' tax
program. the administration is now plan
ming a soak the poor" plan as well.
The senate finance committee voted
Saturday to include in the tax program
reduction on income tax exemptions.
The exemptions at present are $1,000
for single persons and $1,000 for married
persons. Under the plan the finance
committee adopted exemptions would be
dropped to $500 and $4,000 for single and
married persons, respectively.
None other than Bob LaFollette, who
like his illustrious father has always been
considered a champion of the little fell
low" introduced and pushed the plan
through the committee
The government is getting down pretty
low when it reaches the point where it
wants to stick its hands in the pockets of
ll6 young man OF WOIldn just SIdflllg
out in life and hoping to acquire enough
money on which to get married and start
a home We doubt very much that the
emption-lowering program will go
through
1t is pointed out that the house of rep
resentatives comes up for election next
year. Few congressman would want to
go back and ask for the votes of the lit
tie fellows" after hitting them rap like
that That is, few should be proud of
being in such a predicament, but then
one never knows just how far congress
man will ignore pride or anything else,
for political eXpediency.
There is also a well-founded suspicion
that the X-the-little-fellow' plan has
been created to kill off the entire tax pro-
gram. If this is so, it is probably the best
thing that could happen. If taxation can
be shut off it will ultimately mean the
end of the present wild orgy of spending
nobody knows how much nor for what
purpose.

The project, it developed, was

CONVENT ION Of
.LE G|ON TAXES
Up BUSINESS

FRESNO. Cal, Aug. IL. U.R) -
American Legionnaires b u k ! e d
down to routine business today in
the 18th annual state convention.
Spurred by a rallying talk urging
renewed determination to carry out
Legion detectives, given at the op-
ening ceremony last night by Frank
N. Belgrano, Jr., national COM
mander, the 10000 Legion members
opened district caucuses and gath
cred for a general business session.
Announcement of Belgrano that
the Legion was renewing its fight
to obtain immediate cash payment
of bonus certificates was made TO
more than 10000 persons at Roeding
park. Belgrano also stressed other
points of the Legion program,
Americanism, national defense, and
rehabilitation of war veterans.
Introductory remarks and reading
Of departmental reports will feature
the general session today.
The most colorful highlight of
the entire convention will come
this afternoon in the grand parade,
the longest in Fresno's history.
Five thousand uniformed march
ers will be guided by 10 bands, 43
drum and bugle corps and Is drill
teams. Interspersed in the pro-
cession, which will last four hours,
will be 80 floats and 38 comic
groups.
More than 10000 persons were
anticipated as spectators. All busi-
ness in Fresno will cease for the
afternoon.
Heading the parade as grand
marshal will be Major General
Paul B. Malone, commandant of
the ninth army corps area.
OompetiJicll in the drum and
bugle corps, won last year jointly
by Monterey and Corning, opened
today, with finals scheduled for
this evening.
The race of Legionnaires to sue
ceed Archie Closson of Lodi as
state commander became a contest
among four men, with the posi-
bility of others being nominated
fro the floor considered unlikely.
The four were Dan w. Emmett,
Santa Paula; Charles McGonegal,
Bell: NorVin E. Smith, San Mar
ino; and Richard WEIGH, Riverside.
Nominations will be held tomar-
row and elections Wednesday.

SCREEN STAR
FILES ACTION
FOR DIVORCE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. II. U,P) -
Still another of Hollywood's famed
ideal romances" went to seed to-
day as Joan Blondell, blonde char
mer of the films, filed suit for di.
vorce from George S. Barnes, cam
eraman.
The actress charged incompata-
bility and claimed they were un-
able to agree on friends, drinking
and automobile driving.
Barnes, a highly rated crafts
man in the film industry, caused
Miss Blondell great embarrassment
by ignoring guests she invited to
her home, she said.
Instead of joining in the con-
versation, the cameraman rudely
insisted upon reading, the COM
plaint recited Further, it declared,
he was morose and moody and Of
ten refused to speak to her.
"On occasions too frequent to
mention" the complaint read, 'he
would go for hours without speak
ing to his wife and would not re-
spond to her questions.
"On several occasions during
their married life, Barnes would
drink to excess and while in such
condition would insist on driving
and operating his automobile, in
sisting his wife accompany him, al
though she objected to his driving
in such condition"
Barnes also declined to assume
his responsibility as a husband and
a father, she asserted.
He stated falsely that she was
the cause of his losing friends he
had known prior to their marriage
and as "a result of all these acts
she became i'll and nervous and it
finally became necessary for her TO
go to a Sanitarium,' the complaint
stated.
In addition to the divorce, Miss
Blondell asked for custody of their
! nine -months-old son, Norman
Scott Barnes. 1t was understood a
property settlement was reached
out of court and that Barnes would
not contest the divorce.
The couple married in Phoenix,
Ariz., on Jan. 4, 1882. Date of the
separation was set August 8, 1885
First word of trouble in what
had been considered an ideal mar
ital venture came about 10 days
ago when Barnes left their home
and took an apartment.
At that time both declared the
measure was temporary and was
occasioned by the illness of Miss
Blondells father They continued
to appear together at social en-
gagements and they lunched to-
gether daily on the studio lot
where they both are employed
First word of the divorce came last
night when both admitted that a
reconciliation did not seem pos
sible
