' Property Tax Under the property tax pro ' posal, each county would have to levy up to about 4 mills if it needed the money for its share of the welfare load, 'men me state would help if that amount were not sufficient. - The governor recommended that part of the sales tax be used for the state to help out the hard-pressed counties' wel fare payments. "I feel it my duty to support this legislature in the adoption of a sales tax as offering the best and most logical means of meeting the situation," the gov ernor declared. "It is thorough ly understood, of course, that the measure is being submitted to the nple for their final decision. recommend." Income Tax The governor also suggested that the legislature enact other forms of taxes, including mgner income taxes. He asked that these taxes be made so they would be repealed if the people vote for the sales tax. The governor said "I have ' never been enthused about a sales tax," but that it now is ap parent that the legislature be lieves the sales tax is the only answer. "As I pointed out In my orig inal message and as repeated here, new revenues must be pro- . vided for the period beginning two yean hence, if we are to "-meet the Increasing demands on government" He pointed out that unless the welfare problem is solved, the whole program would collapse because of the withdrawal of federal funds.

Tule Homesteaders Prove Anxious To Start Working (Continued from Page One) familiek to live until suitable homes could be erected. Braunig advised that places found in the Jap camp at the present time are considered only temporary. fcacli Homesteader nas been al lowed two buildings from the Jap camp, the standard army barracks which are 20 by 100 feet Each building, when dis mantled, should contain suf ficient lumber to make a home. It is probable that one of the two buildings will be used as a residence, the other for farm buildings. Homesteaders had not yet started dismantling the structures but Braunig said he expected this would get under way by the week-end. The dis mantling and moving of the buildings will be done by the homesteaders and not by the government The three main interests of the homesteaders right now are, first, a roof over their heads; second, getting hold of the build ings, and third, how much it will cost to move the buildings to the individual units. Some of the buildings can be moved to the units nearest the Jap camp. The settlement officer said Tue;day that "we may be able to allow the homesteaders some small tools such as rakes, hoes, shovels, axes and other miscel laneous tools used by the Jap gardeners during occupation of the WRA camp. Disposition of other commodities including coal stoves for heating purposes, has not yet been decided by the gov ernment Due to a shortage of farming equipment Braunig said there was some talk of share cropping, renting, or exchange-work agree ment deals being discussed by the homesteaders with farmers already settled but thus far no actual agreements have been made. Until the equipment and machinery situation eases up, such operations may be carried on and homesteaders are now checking with the general land office in Sacramento to see if such agreements are permissa ble. - Homesteaders are showing considerable interest in the mat ter of road construction in the newly opened area but this prob lem must be handled through the Modoc county board of su pervisors. It is probable that a petition will be handed the board from a representative group of the homesteaders and the matter will be given early attention.
