Delicious Mixed Drinks to Please POLITICS AS NSUAL WHILE TAX LOAD RISES By RALPH H. TAYLOR The total value of -all farm commodities produced in California durjing 1941 was $848,000,000. The tofal tax bill paid by Californians in 1941 Federal, State and local—was $1,600,000,000. In other words, California agriculture, the state’s basic industry, earned only half as many dollars, by-a year of sweat and hard labor. as the tax collector collected from California citizens for the support of government. That is a shocking comparison—and it reflects a shocking condition which cannot long continue if we are to escape: insolvency. It reflects a shameful condition which California citizens must correct if their duly elected public offficials fail to do it for them. And there is little reason to hope, if’ past performance means anything, that the state’s political officeholders will correct the vondition except under #he lash of an aroused public opinion. Apologists for the current debauch of governmental extravagance will undoulbtely rush into print -with statements that taxes can’t be reduced, due to the war effort. But the taxes that should and must be reduced have nothing whatever to do with the’ war effort; they. are the taxes co!lected for the so-called ‘‘normal’ functions of government, which thave doulbbled and trebled. and passed all possible justification. They are the taxes resulting from the reckless un-Aimerican policy of ‘‘politics as usual’ at a time when the American people are being called upon to make every manner of sacrifice, even as their public ofifice holders hike up the tax rates to maintain themselves in the style to which they have become accustomed. In the last three years, taxes for state government alone in California ‘have risen from $32,000,000 a year to the staggering sum of $420,000,000 And local taxes ‘have from $308,000,000 a year 000,000. During this period, the entire state relief burden has disappeared but the taxpayer has never enjoyed the jbenefit off the saving. Requests for a special session of the state legislature , to reduce taxes have gone unheeded. Spending has gone on unchecked, each year showing an increase over the one just past, and it is now estimated that California will fae a stupendous tax bill next year of $2,30,000,000. unless drastic action is taken to put a halt to skyrocketing expenditures. A tax bill of $2,300,000,000—the estimated amount for next year, if increased to $320,. the policy of “politics as usual’’ is allowed to continue. would mean a tax in excess of $300 for every man, woman and child in California, while the national average is only $109 per capita. If California citizens have any doubt that it is time to rise up in angry protest against pwhlic squandering of their tax dollars, they should consider the record—taking particular note of the sharp increases in the per capita tax burden during recent years. . In 1932, the average per capita tax in California was $85.06. In 1941 it had climbed: to $137.74. In 1942 it is well over $200. And unless it is checked, next year it ;will have climbed to more than $300! Nor can any branch of government shift responsibility to the other branches for this orgy of government extravagance. Spending in the nondefense departments of the national government has continued unabated, just as it has in state governmeni. Boondoggling still continues in congress Federal and state officials and employees still continue to tour the country in government owned cars at a time when the private citizen, ; knowing that he can’t get-new tires, is using his car less: and less, and his feet more and more. Isn’t it about time that each and every one of us took this matter seriously enough to sit down and write a letter to the president of the United States, the governor of California our congressmen, our legislators our supervisors and our city. fathers? Isn’t it about time that we damanded an end to ‘‘politics as usual?”’ We think it is! REVENGE ON ALL WESTERNERS IS JAP WAR MOTIVE ' LOS ANGELES April, 27.—One of the most important factors behind the Japanese aggression is a hatred built up from years of resentment at the prejudice and discrimination met in the western world, states. Dr. Gordon S. Watkins, professor of eco. nomics and dean of the College of, Letters and Science at the Los An-} geles campus of .the Univesity of California. Dr. Watkins was in Hawaii immediately before the Pearl Harbor bombing and has had close contacis with the Japanese for many years. “The Japanese have long yearned for a chance to dislodge from the Far East all westerners,’ he declared. ‘‘A deep-seated spirit of revenge therefore, partly actuates their drive and the ruthlessness with which they practice atrocities against white soldiers. “Amongst the most important of the causes of Japan’s unprecedented successes is the tendency of her enemies to underestimate the intelligene, the resourcefulness and the courage of her people. Nourished by a religious ‘fantimisc, her soldiers and sailors have unlimited devotion to the emperor and to duty. “The war can and will be won only by generating the will to win, reinural resourices and our labor power transformed into guns, tanks, shiips and planes. The will to win is the will to work with efficiency to save and salvage with cheerfulness, to accept discipline without complaint, to fight with conviction and undaunted courage. ‘All of this is in the great American tradition in moments of crisis.’’ SUFFERS MINOR INJURIES Gus Adolph Wasley of Town Talk and his wife, Marie Wasley, were injured slightly in an accident at Hills Flat, when automobiles driven by Wasley and Thomas Cagle of Nevada City collided. Mrs. Wasley ‘was brought to the Nevada City Sanitarium,for treatment. The accident was investigated by Lorris ‘Richards of the California Highway Patrol. O.

Electricity flows from generating plants silently, surely and dependably, along the swaying wires in the sky. It cannot be boxed or crated or stored in tanks or bins—it has to be used as it is produced. As demand for it increases, there must be more plant capacity to generate it and there must be adequate transmission lines to put it where it can work. Making it available, providing these facilities, is our responsibility. At the army camps scattered from the high Sierra to the sea, usually the first earth turned was for the towers and poles bringing electricity for war duty. Electric power was ready for the sudden summons to speed the construction of army training camps, forts and posts, air fields, bases. Electricity was ready to rush work ’round-theclock. Night was turned into day with electric floodlights. Electric motors drove the power saws as buildings grew row on ’ row along cantonment streets and about parade grounds. Nota minute was lost. Electricity was there as the great time saver. And in scores of shops, shipyards, cannery and food processing plants, factories and foundries, electric power was standing by, ready to do its share to bring war industries swiftly. to peak production. Electric power was ready for war duty because there was careful planning yesterday in anticipation of the needs of a far-distant tomorrow. Planning and building for the future is a job that is never done. Fortunately, when the emergency came we were ready for it— ready with electric power to help keep ’’em marching, keep’ em rolling, keep ’em launching, and keep ’em flying. . in Grass Valley with burial. in the 13XW-442 Greenwood Cemetery.
