WEST POINT GRADUATE HELD FOR THREATENING TO BOMB WHITE HOUSE AMERIGAN LEGION AT LEVYING TAXES PAGE TEN if ? ' ' I; uooaj VII iiuiv wan nuiv-u j can Youth uo-operaie With American Legion to Bar War Profits' Is Besl At tha last meeting of the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary it was announc ed that Jack Duane Wood, local Sen ior high school student had won the Fidao essay contest sponsored by the local unit. The prize was . Mrs. Myrtle Olmscheid, of the local unit Is state chairman for Fidac this year. Principal object of the Pldac Is to "maintain, foster and develop that spirit of comradeship which rnanl festod Itself on the battlefields of the World war and to use that comrade ship In the cause of peace." The prize essay entitled "How Can American Youth Cooperate With the American Legion and Fidac to remove the profit motive from war as an aid to World Peace?" follows: It la a generally known fact that the munition manufacturer la the - greatest profiteer of any war. Since the last Oreat War, several Investiga tions of munition firms have been carried on by our Government, and In all cases a large profit in these firms was noted. The chief problem of the American . youth Is to take this profit from the munition manufacturer and In Its place, put Peace. This Job is a diffi cult one, and will probably require a good - many years to accomplish. Even then Peace will not be defi nitely restored. One thing that should and can be done towards taking the profit from the munition manufacturer is to al low government control over all mu nition firms. This will enable the Government to make munitions at cost when they are needed, and If properly handled, will reduce a great deal of graft In the munitions busi ness. If this step were made now It would greatly simplify the task of making Peace for tomorrow by the youths of today. Another reason for having the Gov ernment control the munition busi ness Is that this will avoid the pos sibility of having some private mu nition concern create an agitation of relations between our country and other countries and, thus causing war which is the greatest source of profit for the munition manufac turer. All countries of the world should endeavor to break up subsidiary mu nition companies. This would be a great Btep toward Peace and would cut and break down the crime and munition rackets. Once this Is ac complished, the only way a Govern- ment would have of getting muni tions would be to manufacture them for themselves or buy them from other governments. This would prob ably lower the quantity of muni tions throughout the world and. thereby, emphasize more strongly the want for ever-lasting Peace among nations. The American youth cannot help, as can the adults, but he can advance theories that are Just as logical as those now in practice. He can form organizations for the advancement of Peace. One of the greatest move ments in this country would be to have the American youths Join In or ganizing a Peace Club. The American youth doesn't want war, but if mu nition corporations or bad politics should cause another, he would be the first to volunteer to defend his country.

(Associ ated Press Photo) TRAP SHOOTING LOOKS EASY BUT REQUIRES SKILL It seems the easiest thing In the world to break clay discs with a shot gun, but If you have any such belief Mfdford Gun club officers urge that you go out to the field where the big meet la being held and watch the shooting at close range. These clay pigeons fly fast, much faster than you might -expect. Just try to follow them with your eye, and then fancy how much more, alert you'd have to be to follow them with a gun. A delay of a split second and the bird Is gone; It's a question of precise timing as well aa of poise and sharp sight. If after watching the shooting you still think It Is an easy sport, the best thing to do, say the gunners. Is to get a shotgun and go out to the club some day after the meet and try out your skill. If you shatter the first bird that flies out from the trap house, you are sunk, the experts say, for you will probably spend the rest of your life trying to keep pace with that first lucky shot. That's how field gunners are made, the vet erans will tell you. It's Just as bad if you miss the flrnt shot, for then you will imme diately realize the game Is not so easy as It looks, and It would never do to lay down your gun and admit you couldn't hit a round disc of clay that flies out from a little shelter right in front of your eyes. In all probability you will want to keep right on shooting, and In 23 years the boys will be referring to you aa a veteran- Try It out some day, the club offi cers urge. Get In touch with the club and arrange for a practice shoot. It's great fun, even If you don't be come an ace.

" . 1 J. . . t : -N Completion of Taxation Pro gram Necessary Balance Budget Is Held Up by Refusal .of Legislators By MBLVFL LORD United Press Staff Correspondent SACRAMENTO, ' Cal., June 14. (UP) Completion of the taxation program necessary to balance the 1930-1937 budget calling for expen dltures of (376,000,000 was blocked last night when the assembly refused passage of a bill levying a state tax on automobiles. Needing 54 votes to pass the meas ure, which has become a key bill in the revenue program, proponents were able to muster only 41 votes In favor of the bill, to 87 against It. Aaeemblymap Charles Y. Lyon of Los Angeles, administration floor leader, gave notice of reconsideration of the unfavorable vote. The deadlock was reached after a determined stand had been taken by administration leaders ho sought pas sage of the bill aa a means of ending the deadlock over taxation measures which was blocking, adjournment of the legislature. Opposition to the measure waa led by members of the EPIC-Democratic bloc who objected to the bill on the ground It yould tax the automobile owner out of proportion to other levies made by the gvernment. Several attempts to amend the measure, Including a proposal to ex empt all automobiles with an assessed valuation of $100 or less, were de feated before the final vote. In view of assembly action, a move ment was started to urge Governor Frank P. Merrlam to reduce the bud get by approximately $16,000,000 in order to make up the dlfferene re sulting from the refusal to Include the automobile levy In the revenue program. Senator Will R. Sharkey. Martinez, chairman of the senate finance com mittee and administration leader, recommended that the budget cut be made as a means of balancing the budget and forcing action looking to ward final adjournment. While the two houses appeared deadlocked over taxation proposals, Merrlam neared the end of the pe rid which he was permitted for study of the budget bill. According to laow, the governor must sign or veto the bill by mid night tonight, the end of the 10-day period allowed under the constitu tion. While the automobile tax act was held In the assembly on the recon sideration motion of Lyon, it was considered possible the lower house would attempt to rush through a sev- erance tax act as a substitute. Should ' the senate accept such a measure,! the assembly might change the vote , WASHINGTON, June 14.
