NOT TALKING The people are not talking about what they are going to do. In the old days knots of citizens would gather at the street corners and expound their views on the issues, but there are no such knots these days and as to the Issues', if there are any, they are recognized at home and there is wnere ine aecisions are oemg reached.

The sentiment, for a change and the sentiment for letting things go Just the way they are Is sharply divided, apparently, and here again there is recognition of the great fact that the vote will be the deciding factor at the polls tomorrow. 'Would Abolish Tax Harry R. Lord was up and about early this morning and declared that his fight looked good to him and to those workers in the different parts of the city who reported to him. He had this statement to make public: "No less than SO business houses of this city are represented by those who have come to me nnd explained their difficulty in getting an equalized business tax. They have pointed out to me the unsatisfactory way in which this business tax is levied.

Some are paying much more than others in the same line of business, and doing the same, or nesrly the same amount of yearly gross business. This license tax I regard unjust, anyway, falling upon the business people who are already heavily taxed by city and county. If elected mayor I shall do all within my power to abolish it altogether. But if that Is impossible I shall at least equalize the tax to the satisfaction of all the business houses concerned." Cars For Voters "There will be plenty of cars for voters tomorrow," said Mr. Lord.

"Kind friends have made offer to me of the use of their cars to bring people to the polls. I wish they would Just phone 387, or 1543, or 234-W, and a car will call for them. "And now my last word to the voters is that it is their duty to vote; vote for the best interests of the city and as your conscience dictates." Own Your Home $2350. $200 DOWN, bal. like rent.

Not "Bootleg" Gasoline, Says Christiansen Charles P. Chrlstensen, pro prietor of the Santa Cruz Auto Inn, Forty-first avenue and So quel road, objects to the appella tion "bootlegging" in connection with the gasoline he sells by wholesale and retail.

This term was used in a story in The News Saturday night telling of the tak ing away from service stations of price signs and instructions to operators to sell at competitive prices. Mr. Chrlstensen and the agencies he supplies are selling gasoline at 9 cents a gallon. "Our gasoline is 'bootleg' gasoline," said Mr. Chrlstensen, "only in the sense that it is not supplied by the group of well known big corporations.

Yet the gaso line is being sold under United States specifications as to grade and I claim it Is of even better grade than sold by some of the bigger companies. We get our gas oline from some of the best re fineries in the state and I'll tell you tliat If it were not for these distributors you would pay much more for your gasoline than you pay now. The motorists are pro-ftiing by our being in the field. Our gasoline is 'bootleg' from the standpoint of the big companies, and no others." TODAY'S QUOTATIONS ON STOCK EXCHANGE SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.

(JP) President Hoover today told representatives of business from more than two score nations, that further, limitation and reduction of armament must be accomplished if the world is to recover its position economically and banish fear that continues as to general instability. He interpreted the annual world expenditure of on arms as not only a threat to business recuperation, "but a serious contribution to all forms of instability, whether social, political or economic." While the United States is not directly concerned about land force decrease, Mr. Hoover said, "we have, however, vast Indirect interest in greater assurance of peace and order, and increased order and increased economic prosperity of other nations'. "International confidence can not be built upon fear, it must be built upon good will. The whole history of the world is filled with chapters of failure to secure peace through either competitive arms or intimidation."

Michael Lodge, member of a family which has been in Santa Cruz and Soquel for 183 years, died last night at 10 o'clock at the home on the Watsonville high way between Soquel and Aptos, where he had lived for' the last two score years.

Michael Lodge's grandfather was Joaquin Castro, an invalided soldier of the Spanish army who settled in Villa Braiuiforte in 1708. Michael Lodge's inotlv Mar tina Castro, was at one timn owner of 35,000 acres in Sauta Cruz county, in Soquel rancho and Soquel Augmentation rancho, both granted her by the Mexican gov ernment at Monterey and con firmed by the United States government. i Father Was Bailor Michael father was a native of Dublin, also named Michael Lodge alter yrun-njng tway from his-hoinft in- Ire land, was a Bailor on a wnaliug vessel out of Boston which was wrecked in Monterey' bay in 1822. Michael Lodge the elder established himself as a carpenter in Monterey, but in 1829 married Martina Castro, a daughter of Joaquin, and a sister of Don Ra fael Castro who was the best; known of the family of that name, on the north shore of Monterey bay. Michael Lodge the elder, who had until that made his home on his mother's ranch near Soquel, "went to the mines" in 1848, taking his family with him.

Late that year an epidemic of scarlet fever resulted in the death of three of his children and be sent the rest back to Soquel, in tending to follow later. Never Returned from Mines The father, who had operated as a freighter and trader, driving mule teams between Stockton and Calaveras, never reached Santa Cruz. The presumption of his family has always been that he was killed by bandits, who rob bed him of the gold he was bring ing back and did away with the body. Michael Lodge tne younger, whose death occurred last night, enlisted in the union army in the civil war and served his entire enlistment on the Columbia ricer in Washington and Oregon. Re turning to Soquel he was for 27 years engineer in the Porter tan nery near Soquel.

In the last 66 years he had never been over the mountains" from his home! except for one trip to Salinas. I Remembered Fremont Michael Lodge remembered John Fremont when "the pathfinder" camped at Santa Crua the last three days of February, 1846, on his way' to Gavilan peak-where he raised the American flag for three days in defiance to the Mexican authorities. One of the three sisters' of Michael Lodge the younger, whose death occurred last night, was. Carmelita Lodge, who mar-, ried Thomas Fallon and whose large properties, largely in Mon terey county, were in litigation until a year or so ago and widely known as the Carnvel Fallon estate. Ninety-Three Years Old) Michael Lodge would have been 93 years old If he had lived until July 29.

He had been cared for for many years by his daughter, Carrie Lodge, who is the only Im mediate surviving relative. Dr A. N. Nlttler had been his physi cian for the last years of his life. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Wessendorf 's mortuary, with burial in the Soquel cemetery.

UNCLE SAM LOSES AS BAKER FORTUNE SHRINKS FAR BELOW 1929 VALUE above with his proud mamma an actor. BUT The oil man, who faces kidnaping and extortion charges in Texas, during sharp questioning often disregarded the objections of his attorney and answered the queries. Later the case was continued to May 14. The oil man estimated his holdings in the C. C.

Julian Oil and Royalties company amounted to $10,000,000, but said these were not personal possessions. NEW YORK, May 4. (JP) Because George F. Baker died during the business depression. the federal government and the state in which he owned property stand to "lose" a fortune.

The amount they will collect in inheritance taxes will be huge, but no where near as large as if he had passed away during the boom period of 1929. Guesses as to the wealth of the 'third richest man in the coun try" today ranged from $200 000,000 to $500,000,000 and even higher. At the height of the bull mar ket Mr. Baker's 22,000 shares in the First National bank reached paper value of $190,000,000. They are now quoted around 000,000.

That shrinkage alone means a "loss" to New York state of something over $16,000,000. In this state the larger the estate the larger the tax rate. Like the Kirst National bank stock, Mr. Baker's 87,000 shares of United States Steel common; his 63,000 shares of A. T.

and $48,000,000 in railroad stock credited last winter to him and his son, George F. Baker, fluctuate. Steel, for Instanoe, sold around 261 at one time in 1929. Last Saturday's closing was 115.
