It profess for the attendance of these women at special schools and for maintenance, care, home supression, mental moral and Tax Ban Lifted Often has it been argued that California's inheritance tax laws deterred newcomers from establishing legal residence in the State; that it has kept Eastern capital from large investments and bank balances here. Strongly advocating cuts in the state tax have been civic bodies, tax associations, bankers, realtors, hotel men, and others. On Saturday of last week—two days after all other laws became effective—was put into force Assembly Bill No. 584, amending the inheritance tax, making reductions in the State's taxes upon so-called "intangible property." Said Governor Young upon signing the bill: "A very fair move on the part of the State. It benefits particularly the widows and immediate relatives. It also brings the state law into line with the federal estate tax, so that California may secure for her citizens the maximum, offset permitted against the federal estate tax." State Controller, Riley (see Political Notes) drafted the new inheritance law. In a recent issue of the Vanguard, quarterly issued by the California Taxation Improvement Association (which was among those agencies which persistently urged the reductions) Controller Riley says in part: "An insight into the operation of the federal estate tax and its co-relation to state inheritance taxation is essential for a comparison of the statutes throughout the states that levy upon a descendant's property. The federal tax is of primary importance because of the credit it shows against itself for any state inheritance taxes paid" driver's license, told O'Young that the drunken man at the greatest menace on Calistere streets, that he or she will eliminated until the lash is said he: "Fines and injurement will never cure this if given twenty lashes on back . . . they will be apt twice before repeating fense."

The text includes phrases such as "provement Association" ("among those agencies which persistently urged the reductions") and "Controller Riley says," in part: "An insight into the operation of the federal estate tax and its co-relation to state inheritance taxation is essential for a comparison of the statutes throughout the states that levy upon a descendant's property." The federal tax is described as primary importance because it shows against itself for any state inheritance taxes paid, not to exceed 80 per cent. The 80 per cent credit allowance is conditional upon the state imposing an inheritance tax; otherwise, the federal government retains the full 100 per cent. By virtue of the credit thus allowed it is demonstrated that large estates will be subjected to as great an aggregate tax (federal) in a state not imposing any inheritance tax as in a state where the tax (state) does not exceed 80 per cent of the federal tax. When a study is made of the new rates in California it is observed that the highest rate of taxation is 12 per cent, whereas, the federal estate tax progresses until a rate of 20 per cent is reached. To take care that California shall always receive the maximum 80 per cent credit, the present act provides that when the state tax is less than the maximum credit the tax is to be raised thereto. "Thus it is seen that an estate of a person of considerable means will pay approximately the same tax in California as in any other domicile. In the choice of a domicile a person comfortably supplied with worldly goods would be correct in concluding any jurisdiction that allows the federal government 100 per cent of the estate tax collected therein when it has the power of retaining 80 per cent must make up this loss by other forms of revenue raising levied on the living." Three Judges Created by the 1920 Legislature was the Fourth District Court of Appeals comprising the counties of San Diego, San Bernardino, Imperial, Riverside, Tulare, Kings, Kern, Inyo and Orange.

Warner for the San Bernardino district. Former Justice Sloane of the Supreme Court for the San Diego district. Superior Judge S. L. Strothers, Fresno County, and Superior Judge Erwin W. Qwen, Kern County, for the San Joaquin district. Twenty Lashes Governor Young last week was the recipient of two letters, one anonymous, wherein he was petitioned to act in the interest of the harassed pedestrian and the outdoor enthusiast. E. B. Webster of Santa Monica urged the Governor to protect pedestrians against drunken auto drivers. From Piedmont came an unsigned letter advocating the appointment of a paid rattlesnake killer as a means of conserving the lives of persons who go to the mountains to seek recreation. Santa Monica's Webster, apparently dissatisfied with the new state law which imposes a fine of $5000, three years' imprisonment and the revocation of the drunkenness.

Station or control of pests, taking for the novice or the business person. Officials in Southern California during the past fortnight. Among others, the following are political manoeverings of note during the past fortnight: Pasadena. S. Alfred Sorenson, city purchasing agent, has been accused of using lumber owned by the city to build an extra room on his beautiful $35,000 home on Craig Avenue. Officials investigated, suspended Sorensen from office. When they made a call to the city purchasing agent's office they found he had gone on a trip to the mountains. Because he had deserted his post without permission, another charge was lodged against him. They found, too, he had been buying soft soap at a higher price than it could be made by the janitors at the city hall. More charges were placed. Assistant Purchasing Agent Miss Muriel Hobday, is now on the job. Riverside. The City Council has suspended City Treasurer Dunbar. Mayor Long told the Council that Auditor Pierson had heard from the City Attorney that the treasurer's report on funds was not what it should be. A check up was made, discrepancies found. John Jahn, Jr., is now acting treasurer. Sierra Madre. Chief of Police George Cox has been removed by a unanimous vote of the City Council. O. A. Gierlich city engineer, and James Carpenter, water and street superintendents, have also been asked to resign. Reason given: Reorganization is planned for city departments. Los Angeles.

Gierlich city engineer, and James Carpenter, water and street superintendents, have also been asked to resign. Reason given: Reorganization is planned for city departments. Los Angeles. Defeated Candidate for Mayor Bonelli, answering the claim of 500 workers who had worked in his behalf during the election campaign, paid them what they asked, although he was not legally bound to do so. He did not know anything about the $6,403.43 he owed them, so they were left out of the expense account, Bonelli said. "Do you owe this money, Mr. Bonelli?" asked William G. Bonelli, plaintiff. "No, Mr. Bonelli, I don't—that is, legally speaking—but I'll pay," said William G. Bonelli, defendant. "Then why do you pay it?" asked Bonelli, plaintiff. "Because I feel morally bound to do so," said Bonelli. Los Angeles. Elected candidate for mayor, John C. Porter, retreated on his policy of requiring appointees to hand in undated resignations before being placed in jobs. The Council, which felt its power, had been usurped, then confirmed his nomination of Drake, labor unionist, to the Police Commission. President Sanborn of the City Council issued a statement. Said he: "Mayor Porter stated to the Council that he did not have the resignation of Mr. Drake and assured us he would not receive undated resignations in the future from appointess to any commission. Prohibition Doran on Wine. Doubt rested in the minds of Californians concerning the legality of manufacturing beverages from grapes. At Washington also there was doubt. This week, Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of Doran on Wine. Doubt rested in the minds of Californians concerning the legality of manufacturing beverages from grapes. At Washington also there was doubt. This week, Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of prohibition, comes West to clear up all uncertainty on the subject. He will confer with Administrator Frank McReynolds, who lately completed a report on the grape situation. It is not illegal to manufacture cider and fruit juices in the home for home usage. Doran is reported to have said But they must not be "intoxicating in fact." He advised against calling them "wine." Vineyard owners and citizens were pleased. California's Vineyardists' associations have for two years been trying to secure such a statement. It came at a crucial moment; at a time when grapes shipments, which produce most of the country's "wine" or "juice" are moving eastward. After studying the results of McReynold's survey of the grape situation here, Commissioner Doran will attempt a recollection of regulations on sacramental and medicinal wines. The survey has much to do with the increase in manufacture of grape beverages since prohibition. Unofficial reports at Washington show many beverages to be free of alcohol when sold, but "involved" with age.
