PROGRESS MADE IN FIGHT
AGAINST SINGLE TAX MOVE

citizens in charge. A number of
prominent valleyiteS have already
volunteered their services, Stone
announced Saturday. Stone eX-
poets Supervisor Hugh Osborne to
take an active part as we'll as
Leslie Mcconnell, George P. Maur-
er of Brawley. and Henry Jackson
and j. L. Taecker of Brawley.
The campaign against the single
tax is part of larger program
sponsored by the Central Bureau
which calls for a complete over
hauling of the California tax struc-
ture. A proposed amendment soon
will be introduced, Stone announced,
which will provide an abrupt change
in the method of land valuation
for taxation purposes. The new
program calls for assessment on a
basis of the capacity of land to
produce. The present method of as
SeSSment taxes land far beyond its
capabilities, Stone claims.
Stone will speak Friday evening
on the menace of the single tax
plan and the general tax situa-
ton at a meeting of the McCabe

Heywood Broun
Jailed After

ILWAUKEE, Wis, March 81.
WR-Heywood Broun, columnist and
president of the American News
paper guild, and five others were
put into Jail today after a scuffle
with police in front of the Wis
consin News, where editorial work
ers have been on strike five weeks.
Broun was charged with disorder
" conduct and resisting an officer.
Two strikers and two sympathiz-
ers we're arrested on the first charge.
After guild and labor union men,
bers had raised $245 to bail out
five of those arrested Broun fish
ed in his baggy trousers and pro-
duced $125 for his own release.
He refused to leave Jail until the
Others were released
Police and guild officers differ
ed as to the cause of the disturb
ance. Broun said the strikers and
sympathizers were marching III
double file on the sidewalk in front
of the News. Trouble began, he said,
when police roughly tried to force
the pickets into single file.
Police asserted the pickets rush
ed" the News plant.
Broun and one picket were ar
rested in front of the News. The
others were seized when they burn

Substantial headway was report
ed Saturday in the campaign to
defeat a proposed constitutional
amendment which would, in effect,
place the entire tax burden upon
land alone.
Formation of a vast organization
to oppose the measure was begun
several weeks ago, with w. 1. Stone,
field secretary for the Anti-Single
Tax Central Bureau of California
in charge of activities in southern
California.
The proposed amendment, which
comes before the voters at the gen.
eral elections Nov. g. provides repeal
of the sales tax, but at the same
time calls for the death of all other
current levies, on stores, buildings
and tangible personal property
"Thus. the entire tax burden
would be shifted to land owners"
Stone maintains, "and would lead
to complete discontinuance Of pri-
vate ownership of land"
To combat the single tax move
ment in Imperial county, separate
organizations are being formed in
each of the 83 precincts with the

POLICE ROUND
UP BATTLERS
IN BUSY NIGHT

Affairs in Ell Centro Friday
night assumed an unusually war
like turn with battery and dis
turbing the peace charges at police
headquarters taking the ascend
ancy over the usual run of drunk
enness and disturbance cases.
John BeteS and Amanda Sando-
val were staging a grand fight
before a large and appreciatiVe
audience in the 400 block when
police interfered. Betes was sent
to Jail for seven and one half
days after he told his story 10
Judge Lee Nuffer in police court
Saturday morning. Sandoval paid
a $40 fine.
A battery complaint was signed
by Mrs. B. Aguilar against her
husband because, she told officers,
he almost killed their daughter by
choking her. He pleaded not
guilty and the case was continued
until March 26. When Aguilar
was searched at headquarters sew
eral large rocks We're found in
his pockets.
The front door of a Broadway
cafe took a beating when M. Cor
dova worked on it with whisky
bottle while in a drunken rage,
officers said. Cordova sentenced
himself to five DAYS in the city
jail but he underestimated the
sentence Judge Nuffer gave him.
The judges sentence for him was

in New England, particularly to
Hartford, Conn, where more than
so square blocks were submerged
by the Connecticut rivers preced-
ented overflow. Late Saturday,
however, this danger apparently
passed and the waters began slow
retreat.
Heavy snow in western Pennsyl-
vania hampered relief work in that
devastated area.
The flood hazards developed in
upper New York state, where many
mountain streams, swollen by rains
and newly melted snow and ice,
went bounding out of their banks.
Some dams gave way.
While most of New England felt
that danger had passed, conditions
became increasingly serious in
northeastern Massachusetts,. Many
industrial cities along the Merrimac
were indundated, power plants were
decommiSsioned, h In d is were
rendered homeless and thousands
thrown out of employment be-
cause of flooded factories.
The Ohio rive flood, fed by the
Monongahela and Allegheny riv-
ers' waters, after bringing death and
destruction on Pittsburgh, Pa, and
Wheeling, w. Va, moved down the

LONDON, March 81. -
(UP)-Europe, beginning to
forget the worst war scare
it has had since 1914, pre-
pared tonight to talk away
its troubles.
The accord reached by the Lo-
carno poWers-Britain, France, Bel

of months of discussion, during
which any European conflict will

a settlement of Adolf Hitler's re-
occupation of the demilitarized
Rhineland, but also basis for q
25-year period of peace in Europe.
The implication of the agreement
is that if Hitler does not accept
it, thhe four powers will join forces
against him and force him into iso-
lation which, he said he prefers to
any agreement which would weak

Hitler'S reply is expected tomor-
row and probably will start the
first of the coming verbal conflicts
which will be bitter but harmless.
League circles expect Hitler to
reject the proposal for an inter
national force to patrol a new de-
militarized Rhineland zone of l2h
miles along the French and Bel
gian borders.
They also expect he will reject
the proposal for submission to the
World Court at The Hague of Ger,
many's claim that the Franco-Rus-
sian pact of mutual aid violates
the Locarno treaty
Hitler made the latter point the
excuse of his reputation of the

would agree to discuss the other
points of the ur-power accord,
thus leading to protracted ne
gotiations.

A general strike in this port in an
