AT AGQUITALS i 1 Aged Brothers Have No Fear of Further Trials on Fraud Charges Halt the Income Tax CALIFORNIANS who have the interest of their state at heart should heroine active in opposition to the proposal to establish a state income tax. There is a move under way now to saddle a state income tax onto you, in addition to the federal income tax that you already pay. Such a move on the part of California would he decidedly injurious to the state. As the Ilearst papers point out, every state is in competition to a certain extent with every other state for business and residents.

Naturally business and people are attracted to localities which have the least onerous systems of taxation. The federal income tax is all inclusive; under it, all states are on a par. But should California adopt a state income tax, there would unquestionably be a disposition on the part of people and property to avoid this state for penalizing them for thrift, and business judgment. Californias government should be progressive, but intelligently progressive. It should not do things which would interfere with progress, which would discourage business and new residents.

A state income tax would not necessarily drive people from California as the mad radicalism of Sinclair would have done, but it would put the state in a bad light with possible residents, the type we want to attract here. Business will gravitate to those states where there are the fewest burdens put up to it. Individuals will follow the same course. California must not, by imposing a pyramidal income tax, halt the growth of population and industry. It could apply the sales tax a little heavier and not hurt, however, for a sales tax is a just charge which people must pay in proportion to what they are able to spend.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22. (U.R) Samuel and Martin Insull, brothers who built a $2,000,000,000 utilities empire from junk piles, joined today in jubilant celebration of their second jury vindication in two months of responsibility for the loss yj thousands of investors in their ness collapse. Both men predicted confidently after Martins acquittal yesterday of embezzlement charges that neither would be brought to trial on remaining state and federal indictments. A criminal court jury found Martin not guilty, reporting 14 hours after receiving the case.

The younger of the two brothers Martin is 70, Samuel 75 was accused of misusing $344,720 from the treasury of Middle-West Utilities of which he was president. The jury decided he was justified in contending that the corporations charter gave him authority to use its funds as he did. Samuel, who faces a similar Indictment as chairman of the company's board, was acquitted of mail fraud last month. Both brothers beamed like small boys when the jury verdict was read in the court of Judge C. J.

Harrington. Boy, oh boy! What a swell Christmas present this is, exclaimed Martin. Judge Harrington set his trial on a second indictment for Jan. 19. Samuel's trial on the same charge is scheduled for Jan.

Citizens Chances of Murder Now Greater There Than In Any State LITTLE ROCK, Dec. 22. (U.R) Centralization of law enforcement authority is urged by Cal E. Dailey, attorney general-elect, to take Arkansas from the top of the list where a citizens chances of being murdered are greater than in any other state. He would centralize that enforcement in the attorney generals office, the same as federal officers work under supervision of the U.

S. district attorney. The state law enforcement problem is exactly analogeous to that of the federal government. he said and if we are to give it the same intelligent treatment as that adopted by the national government there would be a very marked improvement in crime conditions in this state. A recent tabulation of the United States Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, placed Arkansas at the top of the murder-rate list with 17.6 killings per residents during the first six months this year.

The national average was 4.8. Gov. J. M. Futrell has advocated a state police organization, similar to the Texas Rangers," and his proposal is certain to come before the legislature when it convenes in January.
