LOSS
In CALIFORNIA
DUE TO HEARST
Kansan Repudiated Because
OF Tie-up With Big
Publisher

NEW YORK. - California Re
publican voters, showing their bal
lot preferences for Herbert Hoov-
er, in reality were repudiating the
political ambitions of William Ran
dolph Hearst.
That was the impression of
New York newspapers, whose ears
are close to the ground and whose
heart and mind are close to the fl
nancial offices of Wall Street.
Hearst, whose five powerful Cal
ifornia newspapers had been car
rying the torch for Gov. Landon
of Kansas in increasing fury for
six months, will be forced to watch
the campaign from the gardens Of
his San Simeon estate, according
to general impressions in New
York. Hoover, though he carried
the primaries, will be a force lit
tie to be reckoned with during the
Republican convention, it is felt,
and while Landon's campaign may
grow to the point where he wins
the nomination, the ties that bin6
MIN openly to Hearst must be cut.
Eastern financial circles, which
have almost increasingly attacked
Roosevelt in recent months and
have gone so far as to attach to
him a Communist" label, were
nevertheless gratified to see the
president march through the Cali
fornia primaries with flying col
lors. The relative weak showings
of Epic Upton Sinclair and Town
sendite Cong. j. S. McGroarty,
both pledged to vote for Roosevelt
on the second ballot at the conven-
ton, allayed Wall Streets fears of
their power at the polls. The weak
showing of McGroarty in particu-
lar was satisfying to money
groups and indicates their pleasure
at results of the recent senatorial
probe of the Townsend move
ment.

MAN is CONVICTED
OF DRIVING TOO SLOW

PORTLAND, Ore, May 49,
Charles G. Broughton was convict
ed of driving his automobile too
slow when he appeared in police
court today.
Officers testified he was going
only eight miles an hour on Sandy
boulevard, and cars were lined up
behind him for a mile.
Relatives in the back seat
made me drive that Slow" pro-
tested Broughton.
Municipal Judge Cohn fined him
$40, revealing no sympathy for a
man who needs back seat drivers.

TAXES HEAVY ON
LOW INCOME FAMILY

NEW YORK-A typical family
Of four persons having an annual
income of $1,000 pays out 7.3 per
cent of it, or $183 in taxes. If
the family owns an automobile, to-
tai traceable taxes jump to $219 a
year, or about 9 per cent of the
years salary. In addition, num-
erous distribution and production
levies, passed on to the consumer
through higher retail prices, make
the small income group dish out
even more money to the govern
ment.
These are the surprising facts
uncovered by The Guaranty Sur
vey, publication of the J. P. Nor
gan-controlled Guaranty Trust Co.
of New York. Morgan, it is re-
called, has in recent years evaded
income tax payments by technical
losses" on stock sales.
'The Individual or individuals in
the family who supply the $1,000
income must work little more
than one month every year to earn
the money to meet these indirect
levies," the banks report declares.
Certainly. 1t must be conceded
that the tax burden on families in
this income group is severe and
may make the difference in many
instances between painful fru-
gality and a relatively comfortable
existence"
Instead of asking for higher
taxes on the wealthy, however, the
bank declares itself in favor of
lower government expenditures.

'uioh School Transportation
$3.50 Per Pupil for Year

from a public school; but the
State Board of Education of the
State of Montana shall fix and
promulgate a uniform schedule of
rates for the transportation of pu-
pills to and from the public schools
Of the State, and upon the basis
of such schedules, so fixed, the
contribution of the State, to the
cost of transportation shall be
computed, and the payment made
and in no other way"
When a district pays transporta-
ton to an individual on the ap-
proved schedule, the full state
allowance for the year which is
$12 may be applied as part pay
ment on the schedule. The state
money should not be paid in addi-
tion to the full schedule. Chapter
78, Section 1910, Montana School
Laws, outlines the approved trans
pOrtation schedule.
This is also important: In no
case where transportation money
is paid directly to an individual
can it be less than SIP per child
per year. The state makes it man
datory for the school clerk to is
sue a warrant to each family for
the number of children reported
at the rate of at least $12 per
child.

From this it can be seen that
had the second state payment been
$1,000 or the same as the first,
he benefits for high school trans
pOtation would have been around
$1,000 per student as was estim-
ated last fall.
If district having a high
school provides transportation for
high school students the county
and state benefits go to the cred
Il Of that district. If the district
does not provide transportation
these benefits go directly to the
Individual.
ELEMENTARY
TRANSPORTATION
The state has made a similar
contribution to all districts for the
transportation of all elementary
school children living three or
more miles distant from their
nearest school which is within the
boundaries of the district.
A $1,000 payment was made in
August and a $500 was made in
teOruary. There are no county
funds created for the payment of
sS.ementary school transportation.

obligation supplemented by state
