But there was still the waiting

she opened them, the electric light

She sat up, impelled by Cleman-

Bill Would Return Land
TO Tax Rolls Quickly

Taxpayers throughout California
Friday were watching progress of
a legislative bill designed to elini-
nate difficulties Observation-Disclosures
and overlapping authority in the
handling of property which has
been confiscated for non-payment
of taxes.
Property upon which no taxes
have been paid for five years is
confiScated by the state. and the
states takes deed to it, and there
after collects all rent and lease
money coming from it,
Other taxing agencies long have
objected to this system. The pres
ent process of selling the property
and getting it back on the tax
rolls is too cumbersome officials
agreed, and something had to be
done. The bill, which now is be-
fore the legislative revenue and tax
alton committee, was prepared to
take care of the problems.

This joint responsibility regard
ing farm prices has been assailed
/ by farm organization leaders and
many members of congress from

given complete authority over farm
prices.
REPORT TO PRESIDENT
While Davis will be in constant
touch with Wickard, he will report
to the President. who explained
that he himself naturally will have
the final decision
Mr.. Roosevelt said there was a
definite need for a So-called land
army and it would be one of the
first tasks to be tackled by Davis
next week.
Mr.. Roosevelt said there was a
piled him Dy se-ective service to
show that under the TydingS
amendment to the selective service
dSl IdSl yCdi, pioNiliii5 iOl NCiNA
ment of necessary farm workers,
$4,000 hove been deferred from
military service this year.
An estimated additional 100000
between the ages of Is and 81 will
be deferred by the end of the year
under this present law, he said. OF
thest 100000, the President said,
100000 would be single men and
the rest married.
The President said he thought
these figures would be rather in
teresting to congress, where legis-
lation is pending providing for the
deferment of all farm workers.
The President also said a good
many thousand of experienced farm
workers now in the armed service
probably would be furloughed dur
ing the year for temporary return
to their farm duties. He continued
to oppose the idea, however, of fur
loughing troops who have completed
their training and are just about
ready for combat service.
Mr.. Roosevelt also said the Wal
Production Board had ordered more
steel made available for production
of farm machinery this year.

let the state controller handle it if
desired; it also provides that one
taxing agency may become the sales
agency for other taxing agencies so
confiscated land may quickly be put
back on the tax rolls; all money
collected from the sale, lease, or
renting of confiscated property
must be divided equally among the
taxing agencies.
No lease shall be for period
longer than one year and no sales
contract for a period longer than
three years.

turb the tenuous status quo in
which each is fighting the others

LITTLE ACTION

The air war saw little action eX-
cept for a sweep over the French
railroad town of Abbeville by Brit
ish Whirlwind fighterbombers and
Spitfire fighters. The weather was
presumed to be unsuitable for big
scale operations.
Only skimpy reports were forth
coming on the battle of the Attain
tic. Those from American sources
continued to emphasize the import
ance of not Understanding ship
ping losses.
Despite official American state
ments there was not the slightest
indication that the British admir-
atty proposes to waver on its silent
