BUENOs AIRES, September 26.-
Families Of members of the Madrid
cabinet have taken refuge in the Ar
eentine Embassy, 1t was reported here
tonight. Reliable sources said Presi-

ship.
President Azana's wife. the daugh-
ter Of War Minister Indalecio Prieto
and other relatives Of the Madrid
Socialist cabinet, informed sources
here said, were among those given
protection by the Argentine Embassy.
They were being taken to the port
OF Alicante to board a cruiser. it was
stated. Detailed information from
Argentine diplomats was lacking, how
ever, and the actual situation in
Madrid was in doubt. (Rigid censor
ship prevented reference to the Ma
drid cabinet members and their re-
ported action in news dispatches)
1t was understood here the women
folk Of the Spanish cabinet had asked
to be transported to any French port.
They were to board the Is De Mayo,
Argentine's 6,S00-ton cruiser and the
only South American warship now in
Spanish waters.
The President and his cabinet men,
bers, reports here said, had thus far
refrained from actually boarding the
cruiser themselves. It. was indicated
they had asked permission to use the
ship Is a refuge should they be forced
to flee Madrid.
Argentinas minister of the interior,
Ramon Castillo. observed reports of
Azana's possible flight appear to con-
tain . great deal of truth" but he was
unable to confirm officially details from
his country's representatives in the

@.-The insurgent radio station at
Corunna, talking by radio with Fas-

that the Toledo Alcazar had been oc-

The occupation was reported to have

outbreak Of the war appeared late last
night to have been put into effect.
CThe London of1ce of the Associated
Press was informed seven dispatches
sent from Madrid during the evening
had been eliminated by the censor
"a message which did come through
to London was delayed six hours. An
other was so severely edited by the
censor that parts of it were incom-
prehensible.
(Attempts to confirm Spanish
Fascist assertions that Toledo had
been taken by the insurgents, who
were said to have rescued their fel-
lows in the AcaZar fortress, brought
no response from Madrid)
Many of Bilbao's buildings were set
aflre by the bombs from 10 Fascist
war planes which roared over the city
in the day-long attack yesterday. Cit
liens went through the streets shout
ing demands of death for insurgent
sympathizers.
The British consulate was damaged
during an attack Friday night Au-
thorities said the two days lombard
ment had taken about 100 lives.
The British destroyer Escort sank q
floating mine of Bilbao with machine
gun fire.
Bombings Follow Warnings.
The Fascist attack from the air
apparently was the sequel to warn
ings that Bilbao would be destroyed
unless its defenders surrendered be-
fore dawn last Friday.
Popular indignation over the bonn
bardment caused q huge crowd to
threaten to assault two ships on
which Fascist prisoners were held,
one tied to q dock at the military
airport and the other near the NUM-
tions plant. The hostage vessels had
been put in those positions because
they were close to what were expected
to be targets of insurgent bombs.
Basque guards turned back the
crowd which made for the vessels
the Cabo Outlets and Ultana Mendi
and removed them to an anchorage
of Las Arenas, outside Bilbao.
Rumors 60 Are Executed.
There we're rumors-which authori-
ties refused to discuss-that go hos
tages had been executed in reprisal
for the Fascist bombardments Of the
city.
The bombers dropped leaflets that
the attack would continue until the
surrender was forced-to which So
cialist commanders Of the city's mill
tia hurled defiant replies.
They would hold out to the last
man, the government leaders said.
Basque nationalists, striving to pre-
vent looting and unchecked mob rule,
patrolled the city. But Eliadore de Ia
Tore, chief OF the Basque troops,
promised the crowds they would be
given the satisfaction they demanded
death for the hostages to avenge
the death of citizens killed in the
bombardments.

World Again Focuses
Attention Toward Elba

ROME-The recent visit of II Duce
to the Island of Elba again focuses
the attention of the world to this lit
tie island that seems forever to at
tract the imelight of history. Lying
like little kernel of land In the
Mediterranean, this island has seen
the life history of man from time
immemorial.
Elba Is only about 20 miles long
and z broad. some 40 miles from Italy.
It was recognized from earliest times
as favorite point of approach. It
was used by the Greeks of Syracuse
in their wars with the Etruscans, and
it Is recorded that the island was oc-
cupied by syracusan squadron in
453 BIC.
In the middle ages It passed sue
cessively into the hands of the Re.
publics OF Pisa and Florence, until 1t
was taken by Philip II of Spain to-
ward the end of the sixteenth century.
BY the treaty of Amiens in 1902, Elba
was ceded to France.
Twelve years later, Elba was to be-
come famous by .thes arrival Of
Napoleon in 1914, and where he lived
until February 26, 1915. when he
made the startling hight that fell like
o thunderbolt upon Europe. The is-
land now contains interesting relies

Study in Detail.
Previous to this study the only
available information on hidden taxes
came from generalized statistics on
the sources Of the Nations tax reve-
nue. While these generalized statistics
are revealing, they are too general to
show the precise effect upon the in
dividual citizen.
Armed with pencil and paper the
housewives in the three families chos-
en- for study jotted down at all hours
of the day and night every expendi-
ture made.
While the burden of keeping the
accounts naturally fell on the house.
wives, who do most Of the spending,
every other member Of the family did
his share afd at the end Of the day
or week submitted his report to the
chief household accountant.
Loaf Had s. Taxes.
Consumers goods collect taxes in
every stage of production, just as q
snow ball rolling down hill collects
snow.
Thus q loaf of bread has at least
So taxes tucked in it from the time
the wheat starts to grow in the field
until the bread reaches your table.
In producing and distributing Pc
troleum products, the petroleum in
dustry pays 201 taxes which must be
passed on to the consumer along with
other overhead expenses. The tax you
pay on every gallon Of gasoline and
every quart Of oil you buy is merely
the final levy in this long chain Of
imposts.
Every package OF 20 cigarettes
means . payment Of 6 cents to the
Federal Government.

through the wholesaler and retailer to
the consumer they were increased by
anywhere from IS to 100 per cent.
When we talk of ''pyramiding" we
run into one of the most extraordi-
nary things about this whole matter of
taxation, namely, the fact that the
taxpayer pays out a good deal more
because of taxes than the Government
receives in taxes.
1t works this way. When tax is
levied upon an article at any time
during its production, that tax is
passed on by the person who pays it
as q part of the cost Of the article.
When the article then passes on to
the wholesaler or retailer and he adds
his profit mark-up to the price of the
article, he also adds the mark-up to
that part of the price which Is tax.
This may be illustrated through
the processing tax. The packer for
merly paid a processing tax of 429
cents per pound Of bacon. The mark
up on q pound of bacon from the
packer to the consumer is about rs per
cent. Thus. by the time this tax had
reached the consumer it was 5.36
cents, although only 4.29 cents actu-
ally went back to the Government.
This "pyramiding" takes place on
all taxes which are levied anywhere
along the line of production. except.
Of course, those levied directly upon
the ultimate consumer.
Since the object of the study was
to ascertain what part Of the con-
sumer's dollar actually goes back to
the Federal, State and local govern
ments in taxes. the results Of "pyra-
miding" do not appear in its final
figures. It must be remembered, how
ever, that when we figure farmers
tax of 20.93 cents on S. worth Of
vegetables the consumer Is actually
paying 32.43 cents after the various
profit mark-ups. OF this 20.93 cents
goes to the Government, and the rest
has been added on along the line Of
marketing.
Farmers Tax Only Beginning.
As shown, the farmers tax Is
only the beginning. More taxes be-
come involved as the wheat Is made
into -four, the leather into shoes, or
the cotton or wool into cloth and then
into clothes.
In each industry the amount which
the industry must add to the price Of
goods to cover taxes paid on the busi-
ness varies. There is even consider.
able variation among concerns in

ton. It was therefore necessary to
