suspect questioned in three slayings
had admitted he tied rope around
the neck of Mrs. Percy Gotta, one OF
the victims-but the suspect said a
soldier with him did the actual
shooting.
Sheriff Wood said the suspect
Jailed as Howard William Pickell, 26
of Syracuse, N. Y, told Albany
County officers he was only an &C
complice in the Staying of Mrs. Gotta
and her husband. He had admitted
an earlier shooting, the sheriff
added. No motive except auto theft
has been advanced in any of the
cases, he said.
County Attorney Lenoir Bell an
nounced earlier that Pickell had ad-
mitted killing Matt Katmo, 44-year-
old Cheyenne man, and beating and
binding Mr. Katmo's companion,
Mrs. o. w. Larson. Mr. Katmo was
shot three times at mountain
camp ground last Wednesday by a
gunman who sped away in Katmo's
car, later abandoning it. The bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. Gotta were found
near a garage on their ranch Satur-
day.
Mr.. Bell said Pickell made a
lengthy statement, taken down by a
court reporter to be transcribed
later, concerning the slayings.
Mr.. Bell said he would file muir
der charges, probably today.
Enraged by the shootings, ranchers
had secured the Rocky Dale Creek
area of Southeastern Wyoming for
two days.

German White Paper
Accuses British Of
Attacks on Civilians
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 6-The Germans
who laid waste to Warsaw, Rotter-
dam and Coventry climaxed their
sympathy-seeking campaign against
the bombing of their industrial cities
with a Foreign Office white paper
today charging Britain with sole
guilt" for what it termed attacks
on civilians.
Without mentioning the 10000
British civilians killed and the 120.-
900 wounded in German air raids on
Britain, the white paper asserted
that German efforts have failed to
affect the determination OF the
enemy to use air terror as a plan
thought out in the last detail for the
destruction of Europe"
The white paper charged that the
English wanted to take of the
gloves from the start. Thus the
question of guilt in the bombing
war has been unequivocally clari-
fed"
Asserting that the destruction Of
towns and the deaths of thousands
of women and children were a
flaming accusation against the two
mainly responsible for the war
Churchill and Roosevelt Nazi
white paper threatened to exact
"eye for eye, tooth for tooth re-
prisals.
The white paper was described by
DNB, German news agency, in
Berlin radio broadcast recorded by
the Associated Press. During the
reading a ghost voice gave run
ming commentary asking. why is
no white book published on Hitlers
crimes and bararism?"
In the German effort to prove
Britain's guilt the white paper
went back to the disarmament con-
ference in 1882 when it claimed that
proposals by the German delegation
for the limitation of ornaments
were rejected.
1t cited various other so-called
documents. including German
government peace plan of 1886. 1t

Excessive Toxotion
How the Kingdom Of Israel Was Wrecked

" I'LL NitSuOhu Va AShuN 80
The California Tax Digest, published monthly under
the direction of DR.. Milbank Johnson in the interest OF
taxpayers, in its May issue, contains a remarkable article
by James Gregory, a Tacoma, Washington, manu1ac-
turer. The article is entitled, "How the Kingdom of Israel
Was Wrecked AS a preface, DR.. Johnson says:
History reveals, the downfall of all governments in
the past has been preceded by an era of excessive taxa
ton; people have toled long ages under insult, oppres-
sion and the burden of special privilege; but whenever
taxation has become SO extortionate as to take from
them the natural fruits of their own labor, they have
eventually risen and spoken their minds In no uncertain
terms"
In succeeding paragraphs, Mr.. Gregory says:
Solomon was crowned king OF Israel in 1915 b. Z;
His Reign was characterized by exceeding brllllancy and
great building enterprises. He laid upon the people a
very heavy burden of taxation-tribute it was called in
those days.
throne. The continuance by Rehoboam of excessive and
even increased taxation wrecked the government.
Mr.. Gregory's article quotes the Bible showing the
activities carried on by Solomon, and the immense
amount of the peoples tax money which he spent lavishly
in gratifying his own desires. And Solomon had 1900
chariots and 10000 horsemen, and in other ways ex-
hibited a disposition of liberal expenditure, even to the
extent that he had TOO wives
When Rehoboam assembled the throne he heaped
heavier taxes upon the people.
"The rest of the story is sad, indeed. Whereas, King
Rehoboam might have had loyal people, willingly sup
porting the government upon a basis Of reasonable ex-
p~enditure and reasonable progress, they turned from
loyalty and the kingdom was disrupted.
There is nothing mysterious or hard to understand
in this Bible story, if we apply to our own affairs the
principles and events and the public policies which
characterized the reign of Solomon and Rehoboam. The
people-once aroused to a consciousness that their pro-
perty was being taken from them, and the normal fruits
of their labors devoted to unnecessary public uses,
sounded the knel of doom for public officials who had
brought to pass such a deplorable fiscal and uneconomic
situation"
And so there is a lesson for public officials in the
first Book of Kings.

welt doesn't have 700 wives.

Workmen's Compensation

Mississippi is afflicted with the humiliating distinct
ion of being the only state in the Union without a work
mans compensation law.
In all other commemorative the right to>adequateiy
recover in case of death or injury TO those engaged In In
dustrial pursuits is recognized.
Only Mississippi remains a happy hunting ground
for greedy and remorseless damage suit lawyers.
Only in Mississippi can lawyers demand a fifty per
cent fee for whatever is recovered through court ntga-
ton.
Only Mississippi maintains an attitude OF being I'M
friendly to industry and capital seeking investment by
making industry an easy prey for senseless and needless
litigation.
This condition should not be allowed to prevail any
longer.
Damage suit lawyers should not be permitted to
dominate our %lawmaking body.
There will be a well-organized fight made at the next
regular legislative session for enactment OF a workmen's
compensation law.
1t is up to industrial workers and the people OF Mis-
sissippi to see that this legislation is enacted. 1t Will be OF
untold benefit to employer and employee alike.
Do not vot for any man for a Legislative Office,
House or Senate, unless he publicly expresses himself in
favor of a workmens compensation law.
Only in this way can industrial workers be 1reed
from the e~nslavement of the damage suit lawyers who
fatten their purses at the expense of the unfortunate.
The bill that has been framed for introduction at the
January session will be a model of its kind. 1t will fully
protect all classes of workers. 1t will employ the best
features Of workmen's compensation statues in other
states; laws that have stood pratcal tests in sister COM
monwealths.
The fight is on. 1t will be a fight to the finish in
which proponents of the measure will neither ask or give
quarters. 1t is a fight that will be carried to a successful
finish.
