WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1924 LAN TO REMEDY TAX ON CARRIERS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29.—The Motor Carriers' association, representing the 670 licensed operators of motor stage and truck lines now serving as common carriers in California, will have upon the ballot at the state election, Nov. 4, a constitution taxation amendment known as "Amendment No. 1" and officially designated by the attorney general "State Taxation of Highway Transportation Companies." In some quarters misinformation as to the true purposes and effects of the proposed amendment has been circulated, particularly with reference to local taxation. In order to correct this and to give a fact basis for forming a correct judgment as to the merits of the amendment and a correct judgment as to the justness of the claims for its passage, the following brief resume of the proposal is made. The primary, and in fact the single basic purpose of the amendment is to bring the new form of common carrier that has developed with the advent of the automobile under the same provisions of the state constitution that already govern the taxation of other public utilities and common carriers (steam and electric roads). The present state tax system sets aside for state taxation purposes exclusively the operative properties of these public utilities, and it is these utilities—the railroads, electric lines, gas and power companies, as well as banks, express and insurance companies—that supply the chief revenues of the state. The non-operative properties of these utilities, as well as all general property of other property owners, are reserved for city and county taxation. At the time this system was adopted by an amendment to the institution, approved by the people in 1920. HELLUM, the new non-exploding gas, saved the army blimp TC for other dirigibles when one of the bombs it was carrying exploded. Experts say the airship would have been destroyed and its inflated with any other gas. The accident happened while the dirigible. The cabin and gas bag are shown. RADICAL SUPPORT IN EAST GAINING ABOARD LAFOLLETTE SPECIAL, EN ROUTE TO SCHENECTADY, N.Y., Oct. 29—Swing thru New York state for the last time, Sen. Robert M. La Follette today predicted that the Progressive ticket would poll as heavy a vote in the east as in the west, where admittedly it has gained strong momentum. The response he has received from his recent Atlantic seaboard speeches has convinced him, La Follette said, that the Progressive movement is not sectional. "I am confident that the vote cast for the Progressive ticket in the east, will surprise even the most enthusiastic supporters of our movement," added the independent presidential candidate. His decision to turn eastward from Omaha, Nebraska, rather than to continue to the Pacific coast as originally planned, "already had been amply justified," La Follette declared. "The Progressive campaign in the east has gained tremendous momentum" he said. "There is no essential difference between the people of the east and the west. All are eager for our message." "The only difference between the political viewpoints of the people of the east and of the west arises out of the fact that for 30 years the Progressives have centered their attention upon the west," added La Follette. "But wherever the people of the east have had the opportunity to hear the Progressive message they have responded enthusiastically. They see as clearly as do the western people, that the monopoly system is making it harder and harder for them to make ends meet. As soon as they see this, they realize that their only hope for deliverance from economic slavery lies in the Progressive cause." After his speech in Schenectady tonight, La Follette will go to Boston.

Bode of St. Michael's Episcopal church on "Mental Improvement" featured last night's monthly gathering of the Presidio club in the model cell at the high school.

The mayor and Mrs. Kistler, asleep in a room on the second floor, directly above the place where the bomb had been placed, escaped with only minor bruises and a severe shaking up. The wrecking of the mayor’s home was believed by police to be the outcome of his refusal to revoke the permit given the Ku Klux Klan to stage an immense tri-state rally here next Saturday afternoon. Following the granting of the permit, Knights of the Flaming Circle, organized to fight the Klan, asked for a permit to parade at the same time. The mayor, fearing a clash, refused. Representatives of the Flaming Circle then requested that the Klan permit be revoked. This Mayor Kistler refused.
