logical working spot was the rock

However, Sambo loved the rock

the rock dump there were all sorts

There was, for example, the busl

The business OF humping nine cars

Now there is rule around mines
that If the cars full of refuse that

about the mules that work in the

Sambo is my favorite.
Mules aren't like horses. They're
much more intelligent. Besides. they
have jackass blood in their veins
and nature meant jackasses to be
wild and free.
Mules, therefore, look on men as

why Sambo was remarkable. He
was a little black mule who was

to the Pocahontas coal fields of VIZ

near to being human as any mule
possibly could

time. No matter where he was or
what he was doing the 5 80 whistle

day.
His driver was a l6-year-old hill
billy named Bill Cain Bill and the
little black mule were already
friends, for hilIbillics are free
souls too. He thoroughly ap-

The Management, however, did

that there is a way OF solving every

one day he stepped around to the
rock dump to instruct Bill Cain in
the art of handling mules that re-

Sambo was by no means unap-
preciative. For the Management
interest in his education, Sambo gave
him souvenir that took him off his
feet. 1t was in the form of the pref
tiest imprint of his hoof on the
Management's left leg that you ever
saw.
The Management rose painfully
to his feet, pulled himself together,
and informed Bill Cain that from

underground at once.

The question arose at headquar-

north of Manila and logically the

or even make strong defense of
Manila itself.

Legislative Bill
To Continue Tax
Reductions Seen

Continued from Page One)
Dunn, Jr., Cd, Oakland, introduc-
ed a bill to eliminate filing on all
party tickets by candidates in state
elections, and claimed support OF
both democratic and republican
party organizations for the measure.
The tax reduction program ap-
proved in 1943 was carried in three
separate bills, reducing the sales
tax rate from tc 2l2 per cent, re-
ducing franchise taxes by Is per
cent and increasing income tax ex-
emptions.
However, the bills were tied to-
gether by a clause making none ef-
fective unless all were approved and
the effect was to block all other
tax reduction proposals.
The same system will be used
at the present session, although 1t
may be all of the reductions will be
placed in one bill II was under
stood that the legislative counsel
has ruled this can be done.
RESTORATION SOUGHT
An opposition bill to restore state
taxes to the former levels and ear
mark the additional revenue fol
public works by cities. counties and
other local units of government
also will be introduced this week
with the backing of the League of
California Cities. Richard Graves,
executive secretary announced.
Graves said the bill would be
introduced in lieu of a league pro-
posal for appropriation of 100000
600 in state funds for the local pub
lie works. No definite sum will be
mentioned in the bill, he said.
Although the plan to eleminate
election cross-filing, Dunn said, has
endorsement of the California Re-
publican assembly and many county
republican organizations, republican
assemblymen had refused to sign
his bill as co-authors.
The bill would end system he
declared as confusing to the vot-
ers" and would increase party res
