With living costs on the steady up-sweep and all other costs well along the same spiraling road, borne on the impetus of national defense it comes as a pleasant shock to hear of the probability of a falling off in demands of the public school system. “If the facilities of a high school are adequate to care for) its present enrollment. it would be unwise for the governing . board to enlarge its physical plant or to increase its teaching staff without a very careful study of the probable enrollments in the next few years,”’ advises the California Taxpayers’ Association. Except in large communities where large defense industries are centered, the grouip declares, regular day high schools will not increase their enrollment during the next eight or ten years. -. Reason:*the ‘“‘short baby crops” of the 1920's are now leveling off high school enrollments. In 1924 the number of births in California reached 86,899—and never hit that figure again in the following 13 years! With a drop in enrollment, high school expenditures should drop also. advises the tax body, and any such decrease should be considered in echdol spending plans for the coming year. We like our schools as everything else in California, to be bigger and bettenand finer year by year. But if a natural, and inescavable decline in high school enrollment is due to oc-' cur, as indicated, we certainly will welcome any tax relief such . a drop affords.—Contributed. : . . TOURIST DIVIDENDS The All-California Association reported a few days ago that tourists in California spend more than $200,000.000 annually—enough to build Shasta Dam, the Los Angeles City Hall and the San Francisco Bay Bridge, combined! Tourist trade. as‘a matter of fact. represents one of California’s most profitable enterprises, with every member of the community sharing in the dividends. The dollars vacationists. spend at resorts don’t stay in the pockets of the resort] keepers; they go to pay the butcher, the baker and the grocer and all the men and women who are employed, directly and indirectly. in catering to the needs of fun-hungry humanity. All California profits. ; But aside from the dollars-and-cents end of the tourist business, there“&re many other compensation. Playing host to millions of vacationists and globe trotters is a pleasurable, satisfying busines. because there is undoubted happiness in contributine to the happiness of others. Then, too, we all have pardonable pride in our home state and our home town—and we must admit that it’s more than nice to live right smack in the middle of the woold’s most superb playground, where people from all corners of the earth doff their hats in sheer awe and wonderment. It’s a good business, this tourist business, and it pays real dividends.—Contributed. . t a THE POOR MAN PAYS The experts have figured it out that one dollar out of every four earned by the American people will go for taxes for all the units of government, federal, state, county, city, etc. The poor man may not realize that he pays many of these taxes, since he gets no income tax bill, and does not usin countless indirect ways.

I wonder if an ocean billow “mountain high,’ wouldn't be an awe-inspiring sight, calculated to strike terror to the hearts of the boldest seamen. Of course those who report such ultra majestic spectacles are never specific. They never tell us which mountain has been equalled in height by an ocean wave so the entire field is left wide open for speculation. Now, a wave that reached the altitude of Mount Shasta, Whitney or Hood, would be stupendous. In fact, the sight would call all the Hollywood adjectives into action. There would be a parade of colossals, marvelous, even swells and smarts. But, if the wave were only Black Butte or Banner Mountain high, sight seers would be affected less poignantly. Some would simply stand and stare, some might stand aghast or exclaim excitedly, “some wave!”’ Now, I have never seen a mountain high wave—I don't think I would like to, but I can imagine what an ordeal it would be to be a passenger or even a deck hand on a ship that was making her way through and over such a storm swept tide. Suppose you were on such a ship in such a sea with the captain in command and the members of the crew at _ their posts. How would you like to have some officious person step to your side and say, ‘you can’t trust “em. The captain doesn't know where he is going. the pilot is making false reckonings, the mates are befuddled, the engineer is half asleep and the fireman is using the wrong kind of fuel.’’ Can you imagine a silly situation? Would you lend an ear to such untimely criticism? Or would you be saying to yourself, ‘“‘if there is anything I can do to help those in command to weather this storm. . wish they would tell me what it is so that . may make myself useful.”’ The Ship of State is now sailing through. tempestuous seas. There are breakers, hidden shoals and ragged reefs ahead. The captain is in command and his chosen officers are at their posts. oa, We may feel that if we were in his place, we would sail a different course; but we are not in command. Neither are the loquacious gentlemen who shout, “you can’t trust ‘em. You can’t trust officers or crew. They are deliberately charting a course which leads to disaster. Officers and crew are befuddled, untrustworthy, incompetent.” If that is true in this time of national history, all we who believe the calamity howlers—all we who fear the worst. should jump overboard and swim away to some serene, untroubled island in the. west. Those who would have us doubt the course followed by captain, officers and crew, offer no alternative which ray be pursued with safety. We are sometimes told to sail along with the ship of dethat when corporations and producers are taxed, they have to consider the taxes a part of the cost of business, and add them to the price of the goods. So the dollar which he pays for some article may very likely include 20 cents for taxes. When this truth is generally realized those useful statesman once known as treasury watchdogs will be very popular.—Contributed. CONQUERORS MUST DIE 4 : . It is well to remember, perhaps, in this grim era of the swastika, that there have béen other Hitlers, in other days— whose far-flung empires have fallen apart, and whose names are now simply something to trouble the students of history. Conquerors must die, but love of liberty never dies. That is, the lesson one can learn from history. Napoleon died, a pris-. oner on St. Helena, at 52. That, incidentally, is Hitler’s age right now. Alexander died before he was 34. Julius Caesar died at 56; Genghis Khan at 65. Each in his day, rattled his sword and dreamed of world conquest. Each, except for Genghis Khan, died comparatively young. And their worlds . refused to stay conquered.

THURMAN Assemblyman The 54th session of the state legislature adjourned sine die Monday evening, the senate concluding its business at 10 p.’m. while the assembly adjourned at midnight, after spending nearly two hours in a futile attempt to pass a relief bill. With the upper house having adjourned any action on the part of the asssembly to pass a relief bill was an idle jesture. Its ‘passage in the lower house after the senate had adjourned would have served no purpose as both houses must approve all measures, The session just adjourned was the second longest in history, being second only to the session of 1939. It is unfortunate that no appropriation for relief was made. Both houses did, however, by a majori‘y vote, pass a Dill returning the administration of relief to the counties. This measure received a maiority vote. as above stated, in both houses. The governor, on the other hand, vetoed the bill following which the senate was unable to override the veto, lacking a two thirds vote. Substitute relief appropriation measures were introduced all of which failed to receive a majority vote in either house. In the matter of relief there was considerable difference of opinion. A strong group in both houses desired to eliminate SRA entirely, declaring the SRA to be a political cancer, Instead of allocating funds for SRA, this group desired to allocate additional funds to the counties to take care of their old and blind problems. The administration forces opposed this program refusing to allow SRA to ‘be wiped off the statute books. As a result, after several days of conference, between the various groups, it was impossible to arrive at an agreement. Whether the governor will call the legislature back into special session we cannot say but unless he does, some 100,000 persons will be without relief due to the fact the relief agency has no funds to continue. According to the latest figures there are 27,500 relief cases which approximates the 100,000 persons mentioned. The return of relief to the counties would have solved the problem according to teh majority of the membeers of both houses. The governor thought otherwise with the result no allocation whatever has been made for state relief, Next week, in our final article, we will give a brief resume of the legislation of interest to the people of this district which passed during the recent session.
