THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—The effort to "Balance the budget"—that is, to increase the nation's income and cut down its expenditures until they are approximately equal—has resulted in some strange proposals and in what promises to be a serious split in both party groups in Congress. One point on which everybody is agreed is that the budget must be balanced. How to do it is the point on which disagreements exist. The government must raise more money by taxes. But how? The sales tax seemed to be all agreed upon when a bunch of Democrats announced that they wouldn't play if the sales tax were kept in the revenue bill, and a lot of Republicans followed suit. This being a Presidential year, politicians whose popularity is to come to the test next November prefer some kind of taxes which the ordinary man can't see. The sales tax is too obvious. They'd like to find some way to take money from the rich and nothing from the poor. There are some men in Congress who still believe that can be done, that there is some kind of taxation which is not paid by the ultimate consumer. There are more men in Congress who don't believe anything of the kind, but who pretend to believe it because they think it will "make votes." So we may have the sales tax (and we may have income taxes so high for people with incomes above $10,000 a year that it will remind them of war times, or we may have neither of these. One thing, however, we can be sure of—the Federal taxes which will be on the law books when this Congress ad- Visitors to Aid Tenth Olympiad Motor Vehicle Permits for the Non-Resident Cars to Boost Olympic Games Permits issued by the department of motor vehicles for the operation of non-resident automobiles will this year serve the double purpose of allowing the visiting tourists to drive and at the same time boost Olympic games to be held in Southern California in August. Adoption of a special form of permit which the non-resident may display on his car was announced this week by Registrar Russell Bevans. That portion of the permit pasted against the windshield will display the words "Olympiad Guest" in bold type at the top. At the bottom will appear the words, "Visit Olympic Games at Los Angeles." Hard On Reckless Drivers The visiting guests will thus be reminded to visit the international games while in California. He is likely to leave the permit pasted on his car for some time after he leaves California, others seeing it will be reminded to come. Anticipating heavy traffic into California during the period of the games, E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol, is making special arrangements to ensure safety on the highways. Traffic officers will be instructed to be tolerant with visiting motorists but reckless driving and driving by intoxicated persons will not be permitted either from resident or non-resident drivers. Girl Scouts Get Garden Training Various Troops Busy as Plans Girl Scouts Get Garden Training Various Troops Busy as Plans Made for Hikes, Contests, Entertainments Girl Scouts with 4-H club training are right in their element these days. Girls from the various troops have been working in the garden and yard of the Girl Scout house for several weeks and plan to have the place so well landscaped soon that it will draw an unusual amount of attention. Six girls from troop 3 of George Washington school worked around the yard last Saturday, while similar groups from other troops likewise are assigned to work on the yard. Girls in Anaheim were interested in the week-end conference for leaders and committee members at the Pacific Palisades, where Mrs. Frederick Edey, national Girl Scout president, and Miss Oleda Schrottky, national advisor on plays and pageants, were honored guests. Miss Vaal Stark, regional director for California, Mrs. M. J. Littlefield and Miss Thelma Mellick, of the California region, also were present. Troop 1 of the high school entertained mothers Thursday evening at the scout house. Refreshments were served, and a table of cooked foods drew attention. Troop 2 is closing its contest for points with the Amphibian patrol, and the B. B. patrol leaders, and is planning a "mystery hike." Troop 4 last week gave a short plan on the "History of the Flag" at the P.-T. A. benefit. Troop 3 of George Washington school (old Central) met Tuesday afternoon, with 24 attending under the direction of Miss D. Harvey, Mrs. E. Fulfer and Mary Alice White. Eleanor Decker was elected treasurer since Evelyn Cartwright is leaving the city. Three tenderfeet, Sylvia Dow, Wanda Gregg and Elizabeth Kneip were admitted. Nothing makes a man feel so little as to sit for an hour or so in the midst of a party of women discussing clothes. Has the war cry, "They Shall Not Pass," been adopted by the motor-truck drivers? The Prohibition question will not down but becomes more intense as the time for the national conventions approaches. Senator Bingham of Connecticut has introduced a bill to permit the manufacture of beer of 4 per cent alcoholic content and its sale in bottles not to be drunk on the premises. The Senate sub-committee to which it was referred favors the bill. It is contended that it will bring in a large revenue, by a heavy tax on each bottle of beer; that it will set a lot of men to work operating breweries, and that it will provide a market for large quantities of barley and hops. Nobody contends that legal beer will satisfy the demands of drinkers who want what President Hoover calls "hard liquor." And if beer, why not wine? It is too soon even to guess what will happen to the Bingham bill, except that it will make a lot of talk and stir up new hopes in the breasts of the Wets. The effort to "smoke out" President Hoover and get him to declare himself for or against the resubmission of the Eighteenth Amendment to the states is participated in by both sides. The Wets contend that he must now recognize that what he referred to in 1928 as "an experiment, noble in purpose" has failed, that Prohibition cannot be enforced by the Federal government and that it ought to be left to the states, as before. The Drys say that he, as a personal Dry, ought not to countenance any change in the Prohibition law, whatever he thinks about it as a practical question of enforcement. There is a growing belief that the Republican Wets in the national convention will be able to force a resubmission plank into the party platform, in which case the Democratic convention will be compelled to do the same thing, and that would have the effect of removing Prohibition from the national election. Wets and Drys would line up again as Republicans and Democrats, which is regarded here as desirable. What Mr. Hoover's personal stand might be on a resubmission plank nobody now pretends to know. 5,441 Meals Served In "Soup Kitchen" In Four Months By The Salvation Army Local Unit Discontinues Caring for Transients as City Withdraws Financial Support; Moves Headquarters to Chestnut and Lemon Where Relief Activities Will Be Carried On Anaheim's Salvation Army, from November 25 to March 29, has— Cared for 2,507 men. Served 5,441 meals. Bedded 2,458 transients. Given transients 365 garments. Given transients 80 pair shoes. Aided 61 local families. Given $284.80 in groceries. Given 111 pairs shoes locally. Given 8 Christmas baskets. These are the figures submitted late last week by Ensign L. L. Montgomery officer in charge of the Army activities here since November 25. Final figures on number of men fed and bedded at the "soup-kitchen" in the four-month period were occasioned by the fact that the city withdrew its rental support and the kitchen thus was closed, serving its last meal Wednesday of last week. 80 Percent Worthy The Salvation Army immediately secured the lower floor at Lemon and Chestnut streets (old Kluthe store), in which to operate as headquarters, and to store materials brought over from the "soup kitchen" at 233 South Los Angeles. "We are sorry to have to give up feeding transients but that became necessary when the city withdrew its support," Ensign Montgomery said. However, we have moved our headquarters and will continue to aid in local relief as much as possible. Experience in the soup kitchen showed that about 80 percent of the men were deserving, while, naturally, there were a few who were trying to get something for nothing. Most of the men gladly did two hours' work a day for two meals and a bed. Sale of firewood, though, hardly paid the expenses of hauling and tools, but it did furnish us. Past Masters To Be Honored By Masons Conferring of third degree will mark the ritual for past masters' night at the Anaheim Masonic lodge meeting Friday evening. Secretary Thomas Lumsdon announced this week. Dinner at 6:30 o'clock in the dining hall of the temple will precede the meeting. Pseudo-Officers Get Pride Jarred Courtesy Badges No Good Now As Displaying Becomes Unlawful Persons not authorized employees or officers of the California highway patrol were warned that it is unlawful for them to display badges of the patrol. The warning came from E. Raymond Cato, chief of the patrol, who said he had received several reports that persons without authority were using the badges of highway officers. A considerable number of deputy badges were issued several years ago. Acting upon authority given him in a new section of the motor vehicle act, Chief Cato has ordered all "deputies" to surrender their badges. Those who paid for their badges will be permitted to keep them but cannot display them under any circumstance. The new law makes it a misdemeanor to display such badges. "Yes, Dad, I'm taking good care of mother" NO MATTER where he goes—down town or to places many miles away—this young man's father will be in touch with his home. And that telephone at home will not be idle meanwhile. Running errands, saving steps, it is a comfort every hour of the day. Always ready—eager and able to do so much—and for so little.
