Tax Moratorium Worries Officials (Continued from page 1) man Sam Greene, Inglewood, and rushed through both houses as an emergency measure to affect the delinquent date this month. "We have had a bank moratorium, a moratorium for insurance companies and one for building and loan companies," Green said. "Now it is time that the people are given the benefit of a moratorium. People of southern California recovering from earthquake damage look to this bill as the best possible relief that could be afforded at this time. It will be the greatest news that this legislature can send them." The bill affects all taxes due April 20 including personal property, real property and assessments taxes. Another tax measure before the assembly would provide for the re-assessment of property damaged by earthquake after March 1, the date upon which property is assessed. It would remove the possibility of paying taxes for the year 1933-34 on property which had been destroyed between March and June 30. $500,000 Brewery Being Organized (Continued from page 1) legal return, speculation as to its effect upon stimulating trade in this district continues unabated. This speculation takes two forms: First, increased business to be brought to the community through formation of a half-million dollar brewery, announced Thursday morning; and secondly, increased attraction of the city for shoppers from surrounding communities. The latter factor this week appeared fairly well proven, with merchants and citizens of the community pointing to the record crowds which jammed Anaheim's business district Saturday evening as an indication of an increased business prospect here. Many stores dealing in merchandise particularly demanded at Easter, reported last week's business POLITICALLY SPEAKING Senator Ralph Swing, San Bernardino, is an able and adroit legislator—which makes his blunder naming Senator William Rich to prepare the senate judiciary committee's report on Rolph charges against Senator Inman, the more surprising. The committee was generally considered right. Outside the governor's immediate circle, opinion was virtually unanimous there was no actual evidence to support the assertion Inman used his political power for private gain. One legislative leader observed if charges against Inman were supported, no legislator who is a lawyer, could safely appear before any state office, department or official in private law practice. Had Swing invited some disinterested senator to prepare the report announcing the committee would not investigate the charges, there could have been little come-back. Instead he chose Rolph's bitterest foe, excepting only Inman. Naturally the governor grabbed that "straw" as a main point in his reply. Economy note: Reliable reports say a certain high state official handed in an expense account of eight dollars per day for February 29, 30 and 31. (P. S. In case you don't catch the point, February concludes on the 28). Don't be too sure the legislature will recess May 5 until mid-summer when, if a tax plan is approved at a June special election, enabling acts will be passed. The legislature may adjourn instead, with the governor convoking a special session later on. Here's why: In case of recess, legislators pay their own travelling expenses when they return. In event of special session, the state pays the bill. No signed bill, unless bearing an urgency clause, becomes effective until 90 days after adjournment. If this session did not adjourn until mid-summer, ness to be brought to the community through formation of a half-million dollar brewery, announced Thursday morning; and secondly, increased attraction of the city for shoppers from surrounding communities. The latter factor this week appeared fairly well proven, with merchants and citizens of the community pointing to the record crowds which jammed Anaheim's business district Saturday evening as an indication of an increased business prospect here. Many stores dealing in merchandise particularly demanded at Easter, reported last week's business the best Easter in several years. While any considerable increase of business was limited to certain lines and was somewhat spotted, the general trend appeared upward. Immediately after appearance of the Gazette last week carrying the official ordinance governing sale of beer in Anaheim, an electrified feeling gripped the community, according to many observers. Stocks of beers were received and sold within the short space of a few minutes or hours, at the most. Throughout this week restaurants, retailers and wholesalers have had difficulty in supplying the demand. Some complaint has been heard about requiring a 15-cent meal at restaurants before beer could be sold, but city councilmen and policemen generally report a favorable reaction to the stringent regulation governnig the sale of beer in Anaheim.

The legislature may adjourn instead, with the governor convoking a special session later on. Here's why: In case of recess, legislators pay their own travelling expenses when they return. In event of special session, the state pays the bill. No signed bill, unless bearing an urgency clause, becomes effective until 90 days after adjournment. If this session did not adjourn until mid-summer, laws would not become effective until around November 1. The effect would be tremendous. One instance: Pari-mutuel horse race betting bill would not become law until after the season was over. Hundreds of thousands of dollars revenue would be lost. In case of adjournment May 5, bills would become effective in early August. One argument against special session is the legislature must limit itself to subjects specified before it convenes. Many feel wider latitude is required. The senate investigating committee's delay in handing down the final installment of its report is actually retarding governmental procedure. The governor has a tremendous pile of work on his desk—a new budget balancing plan; appointments; transfers of appointees and the like—but he's unable apparently to think of much else but the report. Seldom does a reporter or legislator approach the governor these days without having the executive turn towards him with a worried frown: "Is that final report out yet? Is there nothing we can do to hurry it up? I want to get this matter cleaned up." Thanks to political strategy, the pari-mutuel bill got through—the person that thought of diverting the state's cut of the part-mutuel pools to state and county was a master mind... that's what garnered needed votes in the upper house... the bill providing the state should issue $160,000,000 in bonds to finance the self-liquidating great central valley water project is virtually certain to get out of committee... Fight against drastic slashes in governmental costs has switched to a number of senate finance sub-comittees... there's some indication the senate may revise upward the assembly ways and means committee's $240,000,000 budget... many senators feel some cuts were inexecutably low... watch legislative news closely next few weeks... you're likely to read of some battle royals that will make state legislative history.

"First and Only" Pays For His Fete Harley Wyant of Fullerton is getting 12½ days' free "board and room" this week while he thinks over his impromptu celebration upon the return of legal beer last Thursday in Anaheim. Wyant admitted in Judge Frank Tausch's court Friday that he took hard liquor in too generous quantities before leaving Fullerton, then hired a taxi and came to Anaheim to celebrate. He promptly was picked up by Police Chief James Bouldin and booked as the first and only inebriant of the first three days of legal sale in this city. Judge Tausch sentenced Wyant to jail when he could not produce the alternative of $25 for fines. Shaffer Hardware Goes to Costa Mesa H. J. Shaffer, in the hardware business in Anaheim for five years, this week leased a storeroom about one-mile north of Costa Mesa and moved his stock of merchandise from South Lemon street to the new location. The move was occasioned because the building occupied by the store has been condemned as a result of the March 10 earthquake. Until summer school vacation, Mr. and Mrs. Shaffer will continue to live at 708 South Helena street to permit their daughter Dorothy to finish this year's work in high school.

Gas Tax Fight Is Vexing Assembly Orange County Taxes 35,665 Autos as $6,241,375 Personal Property, Report Shows With the 1933 session of the legislature drawing to a close, the fight over taxes directly affecting California motorists is reaching a climax. Opponents of plans to divert gasoline tax funds are standing firm on the Federal Tax On Beer Explained Brewers Pay $1,000, Wholesalers, $50, Retailers $20 to Internal Revenue Collector Galen H. Welch, collector of internal revenue, announces that every manufacturer, importer, wholesaler and retailer of the new legal 3.2 beer must pay special tax to his office for the Consolidation of Schools Defeated (Continued from page 1) consolidation plans as is now raised by individual districts. Mr. Graham arrived at the following deductions: City Rate Rate Present Proposed Anaheim 30 cents 25.1 cents Fullerton 30 cents 30 cents Brea 28 cents 24.1 cents Olinda 30 cents 24.1 cents Orange 30 cents 29.7 cents Santa Ana 30 cents 29.8 cents Tustin 29 cents 26.1 cents Newport Beach 28 cents 28.6 cents Costa Mesa 30 cents 28.6 cents The average rate for the nine cities now is 29 cents. Under the proposed consolidation of schools, the rate of 27.3 cents, a saving of 1.7 cents on rate alone, would be achieved without economies, according to experts who have studied the situation, probably would exceed any reductions already made in school expenditures through voluntary co-operation on the part of school district boards and the administrative officials. "These figures will indicate to you that under consolidation the cost of education is spread more evenly over the entire county, which works to the benefit of the poorer districts and, in the majority of the cases, the larger centers of population," Mr. Graham states. The consolidation bill proposes to cut the 3633 school districts of California to approximately the number of high school districts, 295. One of the purposes of the plan is to consolidate a large number of the 1,600 one-teacher schools in the state, giving the children a better education at less expense to the taxpayer. In connection with consolidation, the State Chamber sponsors a companion bill providing for a standardization of bookkeeping in school districts to prevent juggling of figures in cases where costly administrative forces are paid out of funds which by law must go for teachers' salaries. Vexing Assembly Orange County Taxes 35,665 Autos as $6,241,375 Personal Property, Report Shows With the 1933 session of the legislature drawing to a close, the fight over taxes directly affecting California motorists is reaching a climax. Opponents of plans to divert gasoline tax funds are standing firm on the ground any such division would mean an additional direct levy on motorists of the state. In support of the contention that motorists already are carrying a heavy tax burden, a report just completed by the state board of equalization shows that automobile owners are paying taxes on 1,539,743 cars, exclusive of trucks, with an assessed valuation of more than $179,000,000. The report showed that in Orange county there are 35,665 automobiles with an assessed valuation of $6,241,375 on the tax rolls. Taxes on these cars, officials pointed out, are paid in addition to the 5% gasoline tax which must be paid if the cars are to be operated. Proponents of gasoline diversion proposals, however, take the stand that gasoline fund could stand an additional burden during the present economic crisis because the construction of highways is not so important as other functions, including social welfare activities. Governor Rolph recently defended that he believed the proposed use of $8,000,000 for the retirement of state highway bonds is only a matter of sound government and would greatly relieve the state government's pressure situation. Opposition to this proposal, it is believed, is based on the fear such a lot of gas tax funds would be only a "wedge" for further diversions. In the meantime the assembly results and highways committee refused to either table or recommend the bill based on the Rolph proposal and re-return the measure to the ways and means committee. Berry Growers to Meet On Monday All growers of Youngberries who sell their product on the wholesale market are invited to attend the meeting of the recently formed association, at the Knott-Berry Garden, Buena Park, 7:30 p.m. Monday, April 24, according to Eric E. Eastman, assistant farm advisor. Russell Knott is the director of the Cooperative Berry Growers association for the Orange county area. Attendance at this meeting is not restricted to members of the association. Beer Explained Brewers Pay $1,000, Wholesalers, $50, Retailers $20 to Internal Revenue Collector Galen H. Welch, collector of internal revenue, announces that every manufacturer, importer, wholesaler and retailer of the new legal 3.2 beer must pay special tax to his office for the privilege of conducting such business or be subject to prosecution in the United States court, and to heavy penalties. Brewers must pay $1000, wholesalers must pay $50.00 and retailers must pay $20.00, per fiscal year. This special tax is payable from the first day of the month in which the business is commenced, to the succeeding June 30th and is prorated on the annual amount. Failure to pay the special tax in the calendar month in which the business incurs a penalty of 25% of the tax and also a specific penalty of $25c. A wholesaler is any person, firm or corporation who or which sells five gallons or more to one person; a receiver is one who sells less than five gallons to one person. Any person who sells in both classes must pay both taxes. Every brewer and dealer must pay the special tax for each place of wholesale operation by him. An importer may either a wholesaler, or retailer, or both. Collector Welch stated that the tax must be $5.00 per barrel of not more than 11 millions, and is payable by the war store the beer can be removed from the brewery or by the importer remove from the bonded warehouse imported. This tax is represented by fermented liquor stamps which must be attached to the barrels and canceled. Collector Welch expects to start an investigation of all dealers in fermented wines after May 1. Any person who has sold beer in April and has not paid special tax in his proper class or classes may May 1 will be penalized and the case reported to the bureau for possible prosecution. All special taxes must be paid by certified check, postoffice money order or cash—no other form of remittance can be accepted—and must be accompanied by form 14 properly filled out, signed and sworn to. Persons liable can secure form 11 by calling at or writing to Collector Welch's office, 939 South Broadway, Los Angeles. Advise Fresh Green Food For Chickens Meet On Monday All growers of Youngberries who sell their product on the wholesale market are invited to attend the meeting of the recently formed association, at the Knott-Berry Garden, Buena Park, 7:30 p.m., Monday, April 24, according to Eric E. Eastman, assistant farm advisor. Russell Knott is the director of the Cooperative Berry Growers Association for the Orange county area. Attendance at this meeting is not restricted to members of the association; the contrary all growers are requested to come so that they may be informed as to the probable marketing situation and the plans of the cooperative for meeting this year's problems. Among these is the control of the wholesale traffic without interfering with the growers local trade or the right to retail his product at his roadside stand. The internal set-up has been taken from several existing cooperatives such as the orange and walnut associations. In the future, the cooperative berry growers will include other varieties in their program, but the pressing requirements relative to Youngberries make concentration on this product the most desirable line of attack for the current year. Unmarried Citizens Will Get First Call Unmarried men ranging in age from 19 to 25 who are citizens of California will be selected first for civilian conservation camps under President Roosevelt's reforestation program. This announcement was made by R. C. Branion, emergency relief administrator, following receipt of word from Washington. "The men in these age groups who, although single, have persons dependent upon them will be given preference," Eranion said. "All such men must enroll in the state of their legal residence and will be sent from that state to the camps within that area." Advise Fresh Green Food For Chickens Poultrymen are advised to include milk, alfalfa meal and fresh succulent greens in rations fed to chicks, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. It has been thought that the dried greens would adequately take the place of fresh greens, which was welcomed by the poultry industry as it eliminated the necessity of providing fresh green food daily. Recent research work would indicate that the dried greens are deficient in both vitamin "C" and vitamin "G". Vitamin "C" deficiency is characterized by scurvy-like symptoms appearing as ulcers in the lining of the stomach and gizzard. Vitamin "G" appears to affect the rate of growth and when fed as a supplement to a growing ration increased vitality and egg production the following year was noted. The inclusion of 5 per cent dried milk, 5 percent alfalfa leaf meal, five-tenths percent fish oil, together with a basal ration of ground grains and fish meal to test 16 percent available protein has greatly improved the growth of chicks and lessened mortality.
