Oaks Defeat
Seattle, 4-3,
In Coast Play
BY UNITED PRESS

Oakland pulled to within seven
percentage points of the league
leading Seattle Rainiers today by
taking the second straight, 4-3.
Stan Corbett, who pitched to three
batters in the ninth, received
credit for the victory.
The Acorns took 2 to 0
lead in the first and held IL
until the seventh behind Ralph
Buxton's five-hit pitching. but
Buxton's bad hand became
worse and in no time at all
the Rainiers had chased three
runs across.
Les Weber scored Bill Lawrence
and Dick Gyselman with double
off Buxton's shins, the only extra
base hit of the game. The Oaks
tied it in their half and won out
in the ninth when Manager Johnny
Vergez singled, his third hit of
the night, and advanced on Hugh
Luby's single, then came home on
Pat Ambrose's single to short
center.
Los Angeles had field day at
the expense of Tony Freitas and
pasted Sacramento 100, to drop
n he CARDINALS into a tie for fourth
place. The Angels got Is hits
off Tony and five runs before he
retired at the start of the ninth
in favor of Frank Gabler.

as bad as. or worse than. those
found In city slums. Only IA per

In many cases the water supply was

Government Ownership of Land
Creates Serious Taxing Problem
Revenue Formerly Collected From Private Property
Now Unavailable to Local Units Because of
Extensive Federal Holdings.

their state and county and city gov
ernments TO get hold of the horrible
facts that are now being faced
the same facts that have brought
scores OF officials and others be-
fore the house committee on mill
tary affairs. seeking relief.
The cold facts are that scores of
those counties in the six states
mentioned have had their taxable
property 81 reduced in quantity by
the continued expansion of IVA that
they are almost UNDERGOING tax star
walton. The committee record is
replete with testimony showing tax
rate increases in almost every area
served by IVA, and evidence of
expectation of further tax increases.
II is a simple statement. In most
instances. The Witnesses COVER
nors, county judges, mayors. spokes-
men for groups of citizens-told al
most identical stories. IVA had
taken over SO much taxable prop
erty that there was nothing left TO
tax for use of those local govern
ments. The governments had TO
have running expenses. Thus. the
tax rates were increased.
Members of the committee on mil
itary affairs are quite well aware of
the job that c%onfronts them in try
ing to write legislation that will
solve the tax problem for the vari-
u areas. The states want the
money paid to them; the counties
want a share paid direct to them,
and the cities are ~squealing. too.
But there Is much more TO the
problem than Just the IVA area.
You see, the government ownership
gang has fought for and brought
about construction of scores of other
publicly owned dams and power
projects. On the West coast, in the
inter-mountain area, in Nebraska,
where Senator Norris lives, in the
eastern and southern sections-ex-
actly the same tax problem con-
fronts those taxpayers or will come
up to haunt them. soon. Whatever
the committee does. II is present
ing to the house of representatives
a precedent-making legislative pro-
posal. No one can envision its far
reaching possibilities.
