Philip P. LnPollette, 35-year-old for
mer governor of Wisconsin, and his
associates were striving tonight to
clear up what LaFollette believed
was an attempt to kidnap him or
kill him at a secluded cottage on
Lake Geneva.
Two unidentified men, who called i
at the cottage about 10:30 p. m. Fri
day, four hours before LaFollette ar
rived there to spend the night, were
the object of a hunt by private de
tectives and county officials.
The cottage is owned by former
Congressman Thomas R. Amlle of
ElWiorn, closely allied with LaFol
lette In the Wisconsin progressive
Republican party. Both had gone to
Kenosha, where LaFollette addressed
a meeting Friday night. When they
returned to the cottnge at 2:30 a. m.,
they found Mrs. Amllc in a state of
(right.
About the hour they had Intended
to return from Kenosha, LaFollette
said, t.he two strangers awakened
Mrs. Amlie at the cottage and as
sumed threatening attitude when
she informed them her husband and
the former governor were not there.
Two hours later they called again
and went away only after Mrs. Amlie
told them she did not expect her
husband that night.
As they prowled about outside the
.house Mrs. Amlie thought she ob
served that the men wore masks.
They made no attempt to break In.
"What mystifies me," LaFollette
5atd today, when he first disclosed
the incident on the advice of a
friend. Attorney Fred Holmes of Mad
ison, "was how those men knew I
was going to stay at the Amlie cot
tape. I had not told anyone.
" "It looked like a well worked out
program. If they wanted to kidnap
me. I can't understand their motive
for they must have known that net-
ther myself nor any member of my
family ,nas any money. Those men
weren't dumb."
It was possible, he added, that
they could have been sent kidnap
ing, with a view of demanding ran-t
Mm from his friends, but LaFollette
Inrhned to another view.
"They may have been who disliked
my political philosophy and wanted
to get rid of me," he said.
The former governor, defeated for
renomination at the 1032 primary
elwtion, had recently been attacking
the NRA program in ,hls speeches.

SALEM, Sept. 30. (AP) A flat one 1
per cent tax on all Incomes In 1933
and 1934 to raise state relief funds
is a proposal formulated by a Marlon
county group for submission to the
legislature. The plan was designed
as one not endangered by referendum.
Exemptions would be placed at MOO
a year for single men and 600 a year
for married men. Collection of the
tax would be handled In conjunction
with the present Income tax ma-1
chlnery, but the proceeds kept sepa-1
rate.
Proceeds were estimated at $1,750,
000 a year. The Marlon group stated
$3,000,000 more could doubtless be
raised from liquor taxes. The plan
was promulRsted by the Marlon
county relief rommlttee, the Marlon
county court. Mayor Douglas McKay
of Salem and the county re-employment
committee.
The 93.250.000 thus derived, plus
$1,875,000 federal match money
would be adequate for relief needs,
the group declared.
The Income tax would be for only
two years, except for a $1 filing fee
each year to be continued, providing
$200,000 additional state revenue an
nually. Such a uniform filing of re
ports and a $1 fee Is now required In
Utah, the Marion county group said
it was sdvlsed.
