little over two billion dollars. . State payrolls. “in cheek, which is just 4. December 5, 1926, as second class matter at the at Nevatla City, California, under Act of Congress tadeaen cas Adjudicated a legal newspaper November 6, 1951, in unty ; Subscription: Yearly $3.00; Six Months $1.75 Advertising Rates on Request : Superior Court, Decree No. 10023. California—Tax Champion _ : ia a oe WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? THE BIGGEST STATE budget in national history— California’s. Tt needs a good look—-a hard look—and apparently will get it from both Democrats and Republicans. This budget totals almost $2,200,000,000. In compar-. ison, the proposed budget of New York State, with nearly a million more in population and far greater wealth, is just a California seems bound on the path of higher taxes. Gov. Brown wants 256 million more in taxes to meet the record spending. California already is-the-taxingest—state—in—the union. Combined state—and—local_taxestotal $238 for-each-man,. woman and child, compared to New York’s $229. When do you reach the point of diminishing returns? There is such a point, and Michigan seems to have reachedit. The state of Gov. G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams, the favorite. presidential candidate of Walter Reuther, is-broke. Michigan, beset. by many troubles, is unable to pay its public bills and Gov. Williams has appealed to his old enemies, the corporations, to make advance tax payments to meet the But this doesn’t daunt Gov. Williams. His new: budget calls for still more spending, and more taxes. Michigan is a pace setter in welfare spending. It also . has the distinction of creating climates unfavorable to industry. And industry has begun a slow but persistent drift ( . Capital must be put to work to produce the income that produces the taxes. California already has been taking a bigger bite out of personal income than in other big industrial states. The per capita state tax in California in 1958 was ce gt It was $101.78 for Michigan and $94.50 for New ork. In total state tax collections California also led with $1,673,873,000.: New York had $1(501,397,000 and Michigan $794,220,000. California’s industrial productivity must more than keep pace with the expansion in population, or real and living incomes will go down rather than up. ‘The California State Chamber of Commerce says that more than 130,000 new jobs must be brought into being each year. This requires a capital investment of two billion a year.~ But, like in Michigan, this can be levelled off, or reduced, by an adverse business climate and taxes which bear heavily ond production and capital. The capital just won’t come or stay. New York in 1957 had a personal income of nearly 41 billion compared to a little over 35 billion for California. How can the financial centers of San Francisco and Los Angeles be expected to keep up with the financial capital of the world in providing support for a budget even greater than that of New York, without improverishing investments and the people of California? , : No state government is going to spend itself into prosperity. ADVERTISING AS NEWS _ A recent study by Dr. George Gallup emphasizes that newspaper advertising is regarded as “news” by. most readers. We're not surprised at this, considering the fact that advertising’s first job is to inform, even before it sells. To be sure, there are critics of advertising who claim that many people buy things they don’t really want or need— with mony they don’t have—because of some copywriter’s persuasiveness. While this argument sounds interesting, it doesn’t hold up. : Take, for instance, the automobile. Advertising through the years has made ours a nation on wheels. And. working along with advertising has been the installment buying method, which has enabled many millions to buy cars and thereby improve their living gtandards. : In this country, prosperity is dependent on two factors— that we produce food and products, and that the people consume them. When this balance is upset, we have over-production and under-consumption, resulting in economic instability. The American people can be truly grateful to the creativeness of the advertising industry for helping to maintain this healthy balance by “selling” American production to the American people. — REDSKINS AND RED FACES It is tempting to wonder how many red faces there were among the internationalists when that American Indian representative contacted the Soviet Embassy in Washington on the matter of getting a $5 million loan. Whoever dreamed up that little nifty deserves an oscar for the propaganda performance of the year. It neatly satirized our predilection for looking afar for good deeds to be done, and at the same time concentrated attention on our strangely slothful attitude toward our own displaced people. There is little doubt the request was made with tongue as well. Even the wildest of the old Indian warriors could have taken a lesson in scalping from _the Red men of Moscow. FACT AND OPINION Raymond Moley writes in Newsweek: “Those who are greater government spending should of economic life. i An order has been given by the state to “put chlorine in your reservoirs of fresh mountain water or we will do it for you.” We are not consulted. This is a very serious matter. Why not put it to a vote of the people and let them decide if they want to drink rat poison. iS Articles written on_ chlorinating drinking water. State doctors are not in agreement on its beneficial results. Chlorine does not evaporate, but accumulates and settles in the bones, causing them to become brittle and break easily. Many are made ill from drinking this water. : Why not let the people that want chlorine install their-own jany event. Some mention has been made, lightly, of converting sea water into fresh water. A method has been found to do this very successfully. In the country of -Kuwait, for example, water from the sea is distilled arid used for human consumption and for agriculture. ; It would seem very practical if our officials .would have a thorough investigation made of this method of obtaining fresh water before spending many millions of déllars as presently: planned. Were it to be determnied that it was cheaper to tap the everlasting: supply of sea water and distill it for human consumption, it might open up Many ave. nues for the betterment of the state than we can, at the present, imagine.

Typhoid fever is brought on by cesspools, barns, pig pens, chicken houses, cow barns, swamps in warmer areas. Nevada City’s water is brought down from high elevations. in canals that are rarely ever visited by humans. I hope there will be a good attendagce of interested citizens at the Monday evening meeting of the City Council. It is hoped a way will be found to stop this serious problem. Also,. why increase (already heavy‘ taxes with this “poetoba experiment? EDNA MARTINE, Taxpayer. Nevada City. Entertains Pupils A natural cartoonist known to this cmomunity as “Hi-Kost,” who lives at the National Hotel in Nevada City, delighted the children at the Nevada City Elementary School yesterday (Wednesday) morning by entertaining them with ‘his songs (which he writes himself) and ‘his clever drawings. “Hi-Kost” has unusual talent. He is a friendly gentleman and appreciates the friendliness of Nevada City and Grass Valley. He came to this community about 10 years ago and says he used to pan gold in Deer Creek. “Hi-Kost” has traveled 14 times across the United States. In vaudeville at one time in New York he’ had a great deal of success in that field. He‘ loves children and is most happy when he can in someway entertain them. He was born in New York City but does not want to tell when. State Dairy Ass’n Meeting In Fresno Dairy producers from all over California convened March 3 and 4 he Hacienda, Fresno, to conduct the business of the American Dairy Association of California at their annual business meeting. State President Armin Truttman of Olema (Marin County) said that convention delegates, as well as members of the American Dairy Association, friends and guests are invited to attend. One of the features of the twoday conclave was an address by the president of the American Dairy Association, Lyman D. McKee, a dairy farmer of Madison, Wisconsin. Most middle-aged men enjoy dancing, if they can sit fairly close to the stage. — Changing Times.

Perhaps another district for converting’ sea -water-eould do likewise, =~ — It has been said, many times in this column, that this country will experience, in the next few years, considerable growth. It is well that all of us work closely with our own officials to be sure that this growth conforms to all ideas of having a happy place in which to live. Real estate people, agents, brokers, are the great developers of a community: They they make money. But they are in'which they operate. To be sure,
they make mnoey. But they are supposed to make money. But they cannot make that money unless they create new subdivi. sions, spend their money to advertise the advantages of the area they serve. When they spend this money, they are serving all of us. Every time they sell or lease some property to a newcomer they are adding to the income of that area. Their advertising -helps tell people what we have to offer, and in many ways they sometimes spend their money with the though in mind that they are gambling, for ‘unless they are backed up by all of us—all local organizations—they cannot hope to make their gamble win. On the other hand, every gambled dime they spend is a reaffirmation of their: faith in the area they are serving. It is a wonderful sight, really, to see them work each day. They start the morning with high hopes of interesting someone in the locality; maybe spend much money showing people around only to be disappoined at the end of the day. It’s a way of life that has; done much ‘to develop this ¢ountty. Too much credit cannot be given to the real estate > i good things for_a then gamble /t will all come A Let us give them our support and our good: will. Their successful efforts pays us all dividends each year.
