defeat and the only one to pass
Goth houses was the gift tax. which
Olson promptly signed. The tax
provides rates and exemptions par
alleling the inheritance tax and is
estimated to bring in Sl,000O00 dur
ing the next few years. There was
little opposition expressed.
Only other measure to get past
the assembly was a tax on horse
race betting affecting only tracks
having q handle" Of $4,000, 600
per season. Obviously, this struck
only at Santa Anita racetrack
which would have paid go per cent
of the revenue and Hollywood track,
the other 10 per cent. Olson esti-
mated the boost from the present
four per cent to per cent would
bring in S2.0OO000 more revenue
per biennium.
Sudden death hit the bill when
the senate voted against it. 25 to
-. The vote was interpreted not
so much as being against the speci-
fic bill as resolution of the Repub
lican majority to vote against all
revenue measures. The conServa-
tive bloc slashed the governors
budget and came out against added
taxes, expressing the belief that
improved business conditions, cou-
pied with the reductions made in
state expenses, would keep the gov
eminent running.
Much Oratory enSued on income
tax bills, with sentiment centering
on a boost for the middle bracket
group. The governor had two pro-
poSalS, one a technical measure
on deductions, trust income and
other matters TO bring in an addi-
tional S5650.000, and a Slight in
crease on incomes over $1,000 to
return S7450000. Neither passed.
Another bill by Assemblyman
Ernest Voigt, of Los Angeles, had
a sliding scale of increases and was
passed by the assembly. An unex-
pected Joker" was discovered in
the bill, providing a rs per cent in
crease on small incomes, so the
assembly rescinded its passage and
killed the bill.
Despite heavy lobbying both ways
on a broad liquor tax increase,
designed to bring in $9,450,000 the
bill never got out of the assembly
revenue and tax committee A sew
erance tax on petroleum and nat
ural gas was designed to produce

Other Olson bills defeated in the
assembly included bank and COR
poration franchise tax, $22, 700 600;

turn to the general fund of excess
