...citizenship. By last week it was time for anyone who contemplated howling about this levy to get it off his chest. One who did so was Publisher William Randolph Hearst, whose California properties include a 50,000-acre estate at Wyntoon, a 270,000-acre estate at San Simeon. According to FORTUNE, Mr. Hearst's income is not $1,000,000 but around $4,000,000, and the idea of passing over a $580,000 income tax check to California was extremely repugnant to the master of $220,000,000 worth of newspapers, magazines, radio stations, cinema companies, real...

Screamed the Hearst San Francisco Examiner last week: "Extortionate and confiscatory taxation will mean . . . devastation of business, paralysis of industry. . . ." Again the motion picture industry has threatened to move out, and assorted tycoons are talking about emigrating...
...time-honored indifference, which runs even that of Harvard a close race, Williams can hardly be called a hotbed of radicalism. If the crusade against the Hearst newsreel was successful it is because an increasingly large number of American undergraduates are becoming disgusted with the philosophy of San Simeon. At Williams, as at other universities, they make their wishes felt in the face of a good-naturedly indifferent majority...
