IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK From Gazette of May 2nd, 1874. We were glad to welcome, on Thursday last, Dr. Vocum, who had just returned from San Francisco. R. Melrose, Esq., left for San Francisco this morning. Mr. George H. Peck, County School Superintendent, celebrated his twin wedding at El Monte on Thursday last. We omitted to mention last week that the old Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company were unanimously re-elected. Mr. Hartung has a large number of very fine young orange trees which he is willing to dispose of cheap. Much interest is felt in the contemplated narrow gauge railway between Bolsa Chico Landing and San Bernardino. No services will be held in the Catholic church until May 24th. Rev. Philip Farley informs us that in a short time a priest will be sent here to reside permanently. many prominent persons from other states.

Somebody has been getting the Masonic statistics in England which will prove interesting to members of the order. There are 56 members in the house of Lords and 77 in the commons. Fifteen of the Freemasons in the lower house are noblemen. The Prince of Wales heads the list of Freemasons who have seats in Parliament and Mr. Whalley brings up the rear. One of the Bishops, he of Petersborough, is a Mason; seven Dukes eight Marquises, seventeen Earls, four Viscounts and seventeen Lords make up the list of peers who wear the apron and have ridden the goat. Neither Mr. Gladstone nor Mr. Disraell is a Mason—probably for the same reason that the Duke of Wellington never learned to dance. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK From Gazette of May 4th, 1899. Much interest is felt in the contemplated narrow gauge railway between Eolsa Chico Landing and San Bernardino. No services will be held in the Catholic church until May 24th. Rev. Philip Farley informs us that in a short time a priest will be sent here to reside permanently. M. L. Goodman left for San Francisco last Tuesday. A natural consequence will be that the firm of which he is a member, will have some heavy freight bills to pay soon. Members of the Anaheim Lodge F. and A. M. will please remember that a special meeting will be held this evening and that a full attendance is expected and desired. Mr. Saxon in a few days, will further adorn his beautiful home by the erection of an "Economy" wind mill, which he has purchased from Helmann and George, the agents for Anaheim. Messrs. John Fischer, John P. Zeyn and E. W. Champlin leave for San Francisco on Wednesday, the latter as representative to the Grand Lodge of I. O. O. F., which convenes at Vallejo on May 12. On next Sunday morning the Rev. Dr. Kellogg will preach from the text, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." If we mistake not, he intends making the sermon of local significance. On Tuesday evening last, Enterprise Hall was the scene of one of those pleasant gatherings in which Anaheim superiminently excels. The occasion was the opening night of a fair and festival under the supervision of the ladies connected with our Presbyterian church, and for the purpose of obtaining funds to liquidate the debt which still remains upon the church organ. Fancy articles and edibles were for sale and on Wednesday evening a program of vocal and instrumental music the whole concluding with a burlesque entitled, "The Spirit of '76, or, The Coming Woman." We are informed that the gross receipts of the Fair amounted to almost two hundred dollars. In our researches in and about the old Mission church at San Juan Canisio, Viscounts and seventeen Lords make up the list of peers who wear the apron and have ridden the goat. Neither Mr. Gladstone nor Mr. Disraeli is a Mason—probably for the same reason that the Duke of Wellington never learned to dance. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK From Gazette of May 4th, 1899.

The bride was attired in a beautiful fawn colored gown of silk poplin braided in low knots, with a vest of pink chiffon.

They say nothing of the $426,082,000 decrease in national taxation in 1923, and they are equally mute as to the enormous increase of State taxes in the same year. Their energies devoted to retrenchment in their own States might accomplish some good; at least to the extent of imitating the national government by reducing instead of increasing taxation. The total state revenues from taxation in 1922 amounted to $7,428,-749,000 or an average of $68.33 for each person. The total national revenues from taxation in 1923 was $4,-224,616,000 or an average of $38.86 for each person. The total and the average per person is decreasing in the case of national taxation; but is increasing in the case of State and local taxation.

Flags flapped defiantly in the breezes on Monday from many a flagstaff in town. It was Dewey day and a spirit of patriotism prevailed the community. Just a year ago the Great Admiral sailed into Manila bay and destroyed the Spanish warships there. The first anniversary of Dewey day was celebrated by a picnic in Santiago Canyon that was attended by the largest gathering ever assem­bled there. NATIONAL AND STATE TAXES The increase of taxation by States and minor political units during the ten years from 1912 to 1922 is strick­ingly exhibited by the statistics of the Census Bureau, just issued. Although public complaint against high taxa­tion is directed almost entirely against the national government, the real offenders are the States and their minor taxing authorities. The increase in taxes collected by the United States from 1912 to 1922 was 380 per cent, due mainly to the great cost of the war and the heavy loans to foreign governments. But there has been a steady reduction of these taxes for the last four years, and the present Congress is expected to make a further reduction in accordance with the recommendation of Secretary Mellon. The government is moving in the right direction, even if it is not moving as fast as the people desire. The States and local governments, however, are becoming more and more extravagant, and there is no sign of tax reduction. In those parts of the country where there is the loudest outcry against national taxa­tion, the States are adding the largest increases in their debts. It seems proper to suggest that the burdened citizens of those States and their representatives in Congress should retrench at home as well as demanding retrenchment at Washington. The taxes collected by the national total state revenues from taxation in 1922 amounted to $7,428,-749,000, or an average of $68.33 for each person. The total national revenues from taxation in 1923 was $4,-224,616,000, or an average of $38.86 for each person. The total and the average per person is decreasing in the case of national taxation, but is increasing in the case of State and local taxation.
