StoryBoOk Arabian King And EngEshman Turned Modem
 BaIk Mussolini's Wooing Of Islam
Saud, Philby Keep Faith
 With British
BY MILTON BRoNNER

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 The British can thank two of the most romantic figures of modern times-Ibn Saud, master of Arabia, and H. St. John Philby, Saud'S Eng fish friend and adviser-for keeping obstreperous Arabs in line while war surgeS across Africa and the Near East
 Mussolini has wooed the Arabs consistently and ardently.
 Once, blatantly initiating former Kaiser Wilhelm, he proclaimed himself defender of Islam. From Bari, down in the southern part of Italy, for days and nights on end his radio has broadcast in Arabic, trying to stir up the people against the British. It has all been in vain. ARAB VERSION
 OF PILGRIMS
 Ibn Saud has pacts of friendship with the British and so far he has honored the pact. He is the most powerful Arabian monarch of mod- ern days. Just before the World War he was the petty North Ara bian king of the Wahabi sect, who are in the Moslem world what the PuritanS were in the Christian world. They stick to the literal letter of the Koran, the Moslem holy book. They eschew drink and tobacco and are fanatical in observ- ances of their religion.

Arabia. And ever since 1bn's man, garbed in immaculate white edged with gold, has been one of the sights of diplomatic gatherings in England.
 A Moslem, a resident of Mecca, where no Christian would be al- lowed, Philby has explored thou sands of square miles of hitherto unknown Arabian lands.
 He is a passionate partisan of the Arabs. During a discussion in London on the rival claims of Arabs and Jews to Palestine, once heard Philby, like bearded lion, literally roar out the Arab case. The oc-

casion was a luncheon.
 The season was Ramadan, the holy period of the year for Arabs Like good Moslem, Philby neith- CT ate nor drank anything, not even water.
 When the present war broke out and British leaders wondered what Ion Saud would do, Philby reas- sured them.
 He quoted the Arabic words:
 "Kalam al mulik malik al Ka- lam"
 'The word of kings is the king of words"
 Philby arranged for Ion Saud's

eldest son and heir to visit Eng land. He got Ibn to adopt the au- tomobile, the telephone and the radio.
 There is no evidence that Philby tried to influence his royal friend on Arabian oil concessions. But the fact remains that Ion Saud gave them to Americans. Never having lived outside his native Arabia, the shrewd monarch knew enough to say:
 All these European powers are land-grabbers The Americans are not. It is safer to let Americans look for oil"

gave Ibn Saud his chance. At the head of his warriors he took Mecca and Medina, the Moslem holy cities, away from their new rulers and gradually spread his domain until he ruled most of Arabia.
 Before he and St. John Philby met, Philby had long career in the East. He was born in Ceylon in 1885, his English parents being tea planters there.
 Graduating from Cambridge Uni- versity, Philby entered the far- famed Indian Civil Service in 1908 He served in India until, in the war days of 1915, he bobbed up in Mesopotamia as British political

officer
 In 1917-18 he had special mis- sions to Central Arabia. It was there he first met Ibn Saud.
 Philby spoke Arabic and when clad in native costume looked very much like beared Arabian chief tain. He and Ibn soon became fast friends. This bond was enhanced when later Philby embraced the MoSlem faith.
 Philby quit British public service in 1925, but he never ceased to serve Britain unofficially. In June, 1929, he induced Ibn Saud to assent to an interchange of diplomatic rep resentatives between Britain and

NO BANGOR TO THE MEN OF WAR

bear no rancor to the men of war; They are the spokesmen of decadent time, The reptiles risen from bed of slime, Accreted evil bursting through the door. How clearly now we see the calm deceit, The easy les the solemn af1rmations, The empty words, the perfldy of nations, The promises that lead us to defeat. But all of this was known We knew that men Are hateful and the shadows of the night Their dwelling. Without hope we view the days To come. We shall never know again That life is good and earth is mans delight And that no love exists in deaths embrace.

stead exemption privileges. This
bill would limit exemptions on
such properties to the value rep
resented by that portion of the
building occupied and used for
homestead purposes. This step

tributing tax rolls of class of
property which does not right

"a new tangible personal props
erty tax bill has been prepared
which would, in my opinion.
remedy the defects of the old
law and, through a firm and fair
administration. net considerable
new revenue to the counties.
'By the provisions of the bill
all tangible personal property
taxes become a lien on the real
and personal property of the tax
payer in the county in which
they are assessed from the time
they become due. It follows
the present law in providing that
the basis of the assessment shall
be the full cash value of the
property. 1t further provides
that where tangible personal
property tax has been delinquent
I for one month from April ] of
the year sfol4owing that for which
the assessment was made the
property may be seized and, aft
er notice of at least is days, the
PROPERTY shall be sold at public
auction. ! strongly recommend
the passage of this bill.
AS, a first step in developing
an appropriate form of super
vision by the state over the ma
chinery for the assessment and
collection of taxes, / recommend
and a bill has been prepared to
provide, that state tax COM
missioner be authorized and
given suitable authority to act
as referee between the counties
and between property owners
in the same county so that
equality and uniformity may be
established in policy and in.
practice and so that property
may be restored to the tax rolls
Because of the extreme need
to make this very fair tax OPP
crate uniformity and effectively,
there has been prepared new
bill on intangible personal prop
erty taxation, which redefines
and classifies this form of prop
erty, providing a much better
method and procedure for levySI
ing and collecting the tax. Most
important, the bill provides for
an apportionment and distribute
ton of the proceeds of the tax
in the following manner. rs per
cent to the states general revenue
fund and 25 per cent to the county
wherein the tax is assessed and
collected. This distribution should
give an added incentive to the
county officials to see to it that.
all the intangible property in
their counties is properly assessed
and that the tax levied thereon is
