READJUST TAX BURDEN FOR
MORE REVENUES-BUT LAY
OFF FARMERS
Mesa Journal Tribune

Taxes will be the big item on the
program of the 18th state legislature
which convened this week-additiona
tax revenues for the state; possibly
new taxes; probably redistribution of
the tax load.
Certainly no state needs readjust-
ment of its tax burden any more than
Arizona does. But the threat is that the
re-shuffling of taxes and tax rates may
increase the burden on those least able
TO pay.
We are entering a new era-one OF
militarism and costly preparedness; pre-
paredness which includes the strength
ening of British defenses. There is no
longer any doubt that this nation will
be, and is, aligned with Britain in its
war against faSciSm. The tax burden
will become heavier, and there are few
who question the need or object to the
program of defense. But there is a
question of how much the pocketbook
can stand
If the taxpayer is to stand his just
share of defense taxes, he must not be
penalized by heavy taxation for state,
county or local government
1t is not likely that the new admins
stration will permit the state tax rate
to bound upward to an unheard of level
as long as it can resist; but if the pres
ent schedule of taxes is maintained, that
cannot be avoided. Therefore, the re-
organization of the tax structure is al
most certain, and the taxpayer must
watch to see where the burden will be
shifted.
New school funds to be raised by the
state will require an increase in the
budget; we must be sure that the coun-
ty, relieved of part of its school burden,
reduces it's budget in proportion.
We can guess that, rather than in
crease the property tax rate by any
considerable sum, the plan will be to
get additional revenues from some other
source-possibly by increasing the sales
tax The sales tax is not now equitably
applied; its scope can be broadened to
include some sources not now reached,
and its rates raised in some classified
IlOIlS WHlCH are dSScSScu dI uHI CdoOHoOiy
low figures But the tax on retail sales
is certainly high enough-so high, in
fact, that persons of low income are
paying a relatively large amount OF
taxes.
Other sources of tax revenue aside
from the ad valorem tax-incOme tax
in particular-will also be brought up
for consideration in seeking additional
revenues, and probably a depletion tax
aimed at the mines will be proposed.
The important angle as far as this
district is concerned is to be sure that
the farmer is not further penalized.
During past years, the mining interests
and other big business interests have
benefited from the shifting of the tax
burden; the sales tax has made the con-
sumer bear part of it; reduced valuations
of mining property have shifted more OF
it over on to farm lands. The farmer is
entitled to readjustment of valuations
Homes should be taxed on uniform
statewide system of valuation; the pres
ent schedule of valuations is ridiculous.
In short, We'll admit that the reor-
ganization of the tax system is neces-
sary, but we want to be sure that this
CITY of homes and this district of farms
doesn't carry an more than its just share
of the burden.

The Germans had claimed the

Russian commanders.
On the same day the Russians,
admitting the German entry into
the Kiev suburbs, had pictured a
battle to the DEATH" and de-
Tense of the city which was costing
the Nazis 10000 men and vast
quantities of material.
Odessa, in the south, was finding

had reported.
In these Numerically opposing
statements, perhaps the only light
was coming from British sources,
presumably getting information
from mission observers on the
scene, but the British reports had
been entirely gloomy.
The British had reported that an
apparent" cutoff of the Crimean
peninsula had occurred, and though
they secuted the German report of
having trapped 100000 to 100000
Russian troops in an enlightenment
near Kiev, they saw the Russian
situation as grave indeed.
From out of all this it was evil
dent that the fall of Kiev seemed
inevitable and finally even the Rus
slams admitted it's fall, after what

Great Left Handlers

Who are the greatest left handlers
baseball has ever known? RUDE
Waddel and Noodles Hahn, perfect
opposites, were two of the best, dat
ing back to 1900. Each held a
strike out record of 16.
To this pair, covering the last 40
years, you can add Eddie Plank,
Nap Rucker, RUDE Marquard, Doc
White (the left handler who always
baf1ed Ty Cobb, Herb Pennock, the
star of the stylists, Carl HubbeI and
Robert Moses Grove.
From this list RUDE WaddeH and
Lefty Grove undoubtedly had the
big edge in physical stuff-which
largely consists in speed. Speed
and fast curve. Wadden had the
fastest breaking curve ever thrown.
On the right handed side this dis
tinction belonged to Dazzy Vance.
Waddel and Vance could start a
fast curve for your Adams apple
and have it kick up dust in front
of the plate.
So could Nap Rucker-minus the
speed. happened to swing few
bats against Nap Rucker around
19O3-swinging shoulder high-only
to see the catcher take the pitch
ankle high.

NASHVILLE, TENN.-This is the
story of one of the greatest
pitchers-and one of the oldest ball
players-that ever wore a spike or
threw a curve ball.
He started his pitching career
here at Sulphur Dell well over 40
years ago-and he is still working
out every day at Redland field, Gin
cinnati.
His name is Noodles Hahn.
Noodles Hahn, a slender left hand
er, set a record of 16 strike0uts for
the revised National league. This
was back in 1901 with the Reds. He
fioated his dinky drinks by hostile
bats year after year, back in the
forgotten days.
But last fall I saw him working
out before the first World series
game in Cincinnati between Reds
and Tigers.

THREE:
Plane Strikes

The national mediation board was
hard at work trying to settle three
strikes that had threatened impor-
tant airplane factories, one of which
had three-quarters of a billion dol
lars in orders.
At the Consolidated plant in San
Diego it was the A. F. of L. machin-
lists who had voted to reject a COM
pany offer of a Scent hourly blanket
wage increase, and stood pat on its
own percentage demands. The
workers were insisting that the
company meet a Decent increase
given by other large airplane plants
in southern California.
It was at Buffalo, N. Y, Curtiss-
Wright dual plants that the workers
had threatened a strike unless the
NLRB ruled within 10 days on the
employees demand for a labor cleo
ton.
And at Bendix, N. j., the U.A.W.
of the CLIO. had authorized strike
at the accessories plant of Air As
sociates, Inc, listing eight charges
against the company.

MISCELLANY:

Berlin: The German radio claimed
that 3,480 enemy planes" had been
destroyed by German anti-aircraft
artillery since the start of the war.
London: Five Belgians, using a
90-foot dinghy, managed to get
across the British channel and es-
cape to England. They were four
men and woman. The trip took
three days and nights.
London: Aided by the aurora
borealis, or northern lights, British
bombers made some of their great
est night raids of the war, the lights
giving them almost a daytime view
of their detectives.
Chungking: A total eclipse of the
sun, visible for the first time since
1856 in Chinese territory, was seen
in eight provinces.
Buenos Aires: Strong represen-
tations from Berlin against anti
Nazi demonstrations in Argentina
might be followed by breaking off
of diplomatic relations, it had been
stated.
Sofia: Three parties of air-borne
Russian saboteurs, trained at Sebas-
topol naval base, had been wiped
out in the past six weeks, Bulgarian
communicates stated.
Princeton: A poll revealed that
about 16 per cent of the voters would
support a third party dedicated to
keep out of war;" and that about
10 per cent were in favor of active
American participation in the war.
Stockholm: Sweden is firmly OPP
posed to being dragged into the
war, although, like Switzerland, sur
rounded by it, according to Swedish
Premier Per Albin Hansen.

They won the most games-which
is big part of the answer.
More than a few have ranked
Herb Pennock as the top left handler
of the long parade-for brains, con-
troll, style and the rest of it. PEN

and Bill Hanna knew his share of
baseball.
Wen still string with Grove,
Plank, Waddell, Pennock, and Hub
bell, in that order. Grove, at his
greatest physical peak, was still
learning how to pitch. I've seen
him strike out six of the first nine
Yankees and be hammered from the
box two innings later. When Grove
got to be canny and cunning he was
almost unbeatable. For example
1931-when he won 81 and lost 4.

DUTCH:
In Rebellion

Sabotage, theft and anti-Nazi re-
bellions were occurring on an in
creasing tempo in Holland, it had
been reported in London through a
Dutch news agency.
The Rotterdam public prosecutor
stated that the city was unsafe, and
that the forces of law and order
were unable to cope with the wave
of crime.
While not giving actual instances
of anti-Nazi demonstrations, the
censored dispatches had spoken of
"rowdyism, burglary, petty thefts
and other outrages." In Utrecht
special guards were appointed to
aid the police.
HOSTAGES:
The Germans in Paris, under
General Stuelpnagel, executed IL
French hostages to pay for the
death of one German non-commis-
stoned officer, shot in the back on
Paris street as he walked to his
home.
The shots came from a passing
auto. The assassins were not ar
rested. Summarily taken out and
shot had been seven Communists,
one Jew and two persons accused
of having been in the possession of
weapons, and three who had been
charged with attacking soldiers.
And the general sternly warned
residents of Paris, in putting on a
curfew rule for all citizens, that the
12-1 ratio would be increased if the
killings of Germans went on.
At that point the score had been:
two Germans killed; three wounded;
several attacked. The number of
hostages executed had risen to 35.
At the same time Vichy, evidently
wishing to please the Nazis by the
extent of her collaboration, sem
fenced three suspected spies to
death, and gave out several life
sentences to suspects in sabotage
and other plots.

SHIPS:
Seized BY u. S.

The Maritime commission, faced
with a seamen's union strike which
had immobilized some 16 ships in
six major ports, all of them vital
to the defense drive, seized two
freighters of the Alcoa corporation
in New York, and sailed them off
to Bermuda and the West Indies
with supplies for naval and air
bases.
The unions had complained to
President Roosevelt that this action
robbed them of the right to collec-
tive bargaining. The President had
not replied, but the ships were taken
over, the Maritime commission re-
cruited crews and off they went.
The commission indicated that it
would act similarly if other cases
among the remainder of the ships
developed.
The negotiation between the men
and the ship owners was over the
question of bonuses for doing dan
gerous work.

that Lefty Gomez is around the top

Doll Theater

For more than 300 years, the
Doll theater has been a major
amusement in Japan, says Col
lier's. Almost life-size, the dolls
perform more tricks than puppets
manipulated by cords or sticks,
through being worked by men who
hold the dolls in their hands.
Compared with their gaily dressed
marionettes, these handlers are
virtually invisible as they are
dressed in black clothes and hood
and work before a black curtain.
