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.

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

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

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

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.

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
