CALIFORNIA WILL
REDUCE TAXES AS
LURE TO TOURISTS
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Feb. 23.—
California is not going to let Florida
coax away its money-spending hordes
of tourists and visitors through the
simple expedient of repealing its in
heritance tax law, thereby permit
ting non-Floridans to come to that
State to die in taxless peace.
The State Legislature, now in ses
sion here, according to seemingly
reliable sources, is getting ready to
parallel Florida’s feat and repeal
California’s much-talked-about in
heritance tax law.
Coincidentally, the California
State Board of Equalization, which
has the final word in all California
tax matters, announced that al
though the State Attorney-General’s
office has ruled that a constitutional
amendment permits the levying of
a tax on personal property of non
residents, visitors in California will
not be subjected to such taxes.
Also—subject to the cooperation
of the State Legislature—the same
high taxing tribunal plans to make
California an almost taxless Eden
for transplanted California resi
dents who own bonds, stocks and
securities in corporations of other
stated, by making California’s tax
so low that it will be almost negli
gible—something like tlyee mills.
The sudden tax reforms which
are being planned in the Golden
State may be directly credited to
the tourists—or rather the threat
ened lack of them—and publicity.
Recently an eminent tax authori
ty, writing in a national magazine,
characterized California’s inherit
ance tax as among the heaviest of
any state in the Union.
Florida, with an eye to the rich
California visitors who find it so
expensive to die here, promptly re
pealed her inheritance tax law and
broadcast the fact to the world.
So far there is no seco.M of any
great flow to Florida, ut it is
cause there nigh: be, that '.he Cal
ifornia Legislature is now contem
plating abolishing the GoLlen State’s
Inheritance tax law.
The proposal to levy taxes on the
personal property of all visitors also
was given wide publicity. Immedi
ately hotels all over the State com

“We don’t propose to come to
California and be amenable to any
such taxing arrangement,” was the
tenor of the message.
So an entirely new interpretation
of the purposes of the constitution
al taxing amendment has been
found. Under it tourists or any
long-time sojourners in California
who claim non-residence are not
going to be taxed at all, is the an
nouncement.

Matanuska Rancher
Is Adjudged Insane
Arvid Bergstrom, aged 3G, partner
in the largest cultivated farm in the
Matanuska valley, and partner of
George Winters in this farm, since
1915, when they both came to Pal
mer from Valdez, was brought in to
Anchorage the other day by Winters
and George Hermann, and was ad
judged insane by a commissioner’s
jury.
Witners, the partner of Bergstrom
told the jury, before U. S. Commis
sioner Win. H. Rager, that Berg
strom had first shown signs of in
sanity late last Monday afternoon, fol
lowing Winter’s return from the Bo
gard place; and that he and George
Hermann, a near neighbor, had
brought Bergstrom to Matanuska
the next day. On the drive from the
Winters and Berstrom farm, Berg
strom had shown signs of acute hallu
cinations and delusions. Hermann’s
testimony concerning the case was
substantially the same.
When lodged in the federal jail at
Anchorage Dr. L. C. Smith was called
for examination and attendance upon
Bergstrom. Dr. .Smith stated to the
jury that in his professional opinion
Bergstrom was insane and should be
placed under professional care.
After hearing the evidence and ex
amining the prisoner, the jury came
to the verdict that Bergstrom was in
sane. Bergstrom will be sent to morn
ingside sanitarium in Portland. A
brother of Bergstrom, a chiropractor,
is a resident of the same city.
