meeting in which local members
refused TO concur in his recon-

Party line adherence.
Mr.. Knox, besides being chair
man of the Michigan federation.
was also president of the national
body, known as the Federation for
Constitutional Rights. He resigned
the latter office recently, charging
the organization did an about-face
in its policy toward the European
war as soon as Hitler attacked
Russia.

"When the European picture

Son Francisco Artists Reap
$1,000 in Open-Air Show

This first open-air exhibit ever
held in San Francisco drew such
crowds that more than 10000 were
turned away by special police be-
cause they were blocking traffic.
More than $4,000 in all elbowed their
way through the alley.
Some 900 paintings-the works
Of the well known as well as the
obscure-were hung three and four
deep along the brick walls. Here
and there were pieces of sculpture.
In Ralph Stackpole's stone yard
were artists in action, working while
visitors gawked over their shoulders.
Dangling distractions turned with
the wind overhead.
Entertainment was furnished by

was made, a flag was raised on a

by tendency on the part Of our political
leaders to withhold facts from the people
while darkly claiming that privy knowledge
of them compels certain policies; by an
almost universal sense of crisis and danger,
which, nevertheless, does not evoke that
instantaneous and robust response char

There is continual exhortation to unity,
the exhortations themselves revealing the
apprehension that unity does not exist.
Whatever policy is advocated and adopted
is partially paralyzed by the fear that 1t

wake. Thus while there is demand for
authority ano integration in connection
with the defense program, there is fear
that authority and integration will mean
dictatorship, while there is almost universal
recognition of the wisdom and necessity
of aiding Britain, there is fear that such
aid may result in war and desire to see

that citizens of the States above
named pay less income, gift and
death taxes than comparable citi-
zens of other States.
Prof. Edward N. Griswold of Har-
ward University has calculated that
whereas a New York citizen with a
$4,000 salary, married but without
other dependents, pays $540 under
the 1910 tax law, California hus-
band and wife in the same situa-
ton pay $160 each-a total Of 1920.
| This disparity widens as the salary
rises. On a $4,000 income the New
York couple pays $6,4O0 and their
California counterpart $3,400.
Calculated on the Treasury's in
come tax analysis for 1886, when
rates were much lower than now,
the average tax payer in Michigan
gave up $245 as against $186 in
California. Income tax payments in
the community property State OF
Texas averaged $164, compared with
1884 in North Carolina.
Prof. Griswold suggested two
metnOQS Tor removing Cn1S QlS-
crimination. One is an amendment
declaring that all income shall be
returnable for Federal tax purposes
by the person receiving it. The other
is the prevailing British method OF
requiring joint returns by all hus-
bands and wives.
Off1cials agree that it is now or
never to get rid of this community
property discrimination. Eighteen
Senators from the favored States
aalready are arrayed to fight to the
death against any tampering with
it, and this number is certain to in
crease as other States emulate
Oklahoma by grabbing for the COM
munity property" advantage.

Sale OF Pictures Reveals
BorgIum Was Painter
By the Associated Press.


OMAHA, Nebr., March ia
little-known chapter in the life of
Gutzon Borglum, the noted sculptor
who died March 6, came to light
yesterday with the purchase Of
two pictures of race horses painted
by Mr.. Borglum.
Otha D. Wearin of Malvern, Iowa,
former Iowa Representative in
Congress and friend of Mr. Bor-
glum, bought the pictures from Mrs.
Margaret ShotWell
They were painted when Mr.. Bor-
glum was young man, and accord
ing to Mr.. Wearin, followed the
circuit of running horses to find
subjects for his brush.
Mr.. Wearin purchased, for an
undisclosed price, LOS Angeles, the

on the pay-aS-you-go road. Either
way the process will be painful.
Already the tax problem has been
much discussed behind the scenes
with the following fairly definite
conclusions:
l. Individual incomes ranging
from 5000 to 100000 are due for
another jolt.
2. Corporate excess profits taxes
will bL greatly increased and, in all
probability, extend to every buSi-
ness whether or not directly en-
gagged in production for war pur-
poses,
Tax on More Commodities.
3. There will be no general sales
tax, but a move will be made in
that direction by greatly increasing
the rumber of commodities sub
jected to special excises. Liquor
AMI tobacco taxes are likely to go up
as much as so per cent.
4. Means will be sought to reach
incomes below the present tax-ex-
emption limits. Whether this will
be by decreasing the present $4,000
married and $500 single exemptions,
or by a tax on wages above, for ex-
ample, $50 weekly minimum, de-
pends on the results attained from
last years lowering of the exemp-
tions. as disclosed in current tax
returns.
5. A way is being sought to force
| corporations to distribute dividends,
to the same end but possibly not in
the same form as the much-abused
undivided profits tax of 1885.
6. An attempt will be made to wipe
out the gross discrimination in favor
of income tax payers in nine States,
because of their community prop
erty" laws, although Treasury off,
cials incline to the belief that this
subject Is so controversial that il
should be dealt with in a separate
bill.
Higher Income Tax.
| Specifically as to income tax, the
present normal rate Of per cent
applicable to all payers, probably
will be raised to per cent. Sur
taxes are likely to begin at $4,000
of taxable income as at present, but
with the 81 900 to $4,000 frst-bracket
surtax raised to 6 per cent and the
succeeding rates heavily increased
all the way along the line. Ar
inkling of what is in prospect on this
score may be derived from the state
ment of high-ranking member o.
the Senate Finance Committee thai
the United States inevitably mus
come close to the British level Of
income taxes and the sooner the
better. Comparable British anc
