This Week At The STATE CAPITOL California's 2½ per cent sales tax is constitutional according to an opinion handed down here in the first test of the 1933 sales tax act. The opinion, written by Superior Judge Dal M. Lemmon, held that the law was not discriminatory and that it was not unconstitutional because it had been passed by a two-thirds majority of the legislature. The ruling was held of major importance in view of the series of suits on file here through which southern California merchants seek return of taxes paid under protest. In the opinion of Ray L. Riley, state controller, repeal of the sales tax act would be a fatal blow to the state government at this time. He pointed out that the state's revenues, not counting the sales tax, amount to approximately $100,000,000 annually, of which $80,000,-000 is necessary for the operation of public schools. Even a governor likes to fool himself occasionally. Recently Governor Rolph was counting out $25 allowed out of personal funds as expense money for a trip to San Francisco. Of the total, $15 was in $1 bills. "It looks like more that way," he explained. The state government was in the bond market in a big way this week. Governor Rolph started it off by authorizing the sale of $19,000,000 worth of San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge bonds to finance work on the huge span for 1934. Later he also authorized the sale of $6,000,000 worth of the relief bonds voted by the people to continue the state's program of aiding the unemployed and destitute. State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson also announced the sale of a $293,000 block of state park bonds to finance six additions to Christmas Tea At Johnston Home Is Enjoyed by Ebell Beautifully - Decorated Living Room, Gracious Hostess, Appropriate Program Ebell club members and their guests who attended the elaborate Christmas tea at the home of Mrs. H. A. Johnston on South Los Angeles street Monday afternoon recall with pleasure the artistic decorations, an appropriate program, and the graciousness of the hostess. In her lovely living room, lighted only by red tapers in brass candelabra, Mrs. Johnston, leader of the club's Bible section, received members and guests of the club. She was gowned in black transparent velvet and silver lace. Assisting were Mrs. Leonard Evans, assistant section leader and co-hostess for the afternoon; Mrs. Walter Ross, president of Ebell club; Mrs. Holly Markle, Mrs. George Chambers, Mrs. H. D. Newkirk and Mrs. J. W. Wilson. Tiny corsages of holly berries which were pinned to the gowns of each of the women helped to give the Christmas atmosphere to the secene. Against the background of lighted tapers and holly sprigs which decorated the living room throughout, the organ music played by Miss Pauline Graf seemed particularly appropriate. Besides the numerous Christmas carols which Miss Granf played in the interlude preceding that program, "The March of the Magi King" and "Jesu Bambino" were excellently interpreted by the organist. Mrs. Ross sang "He Shall Feed His Flock" from Handel's "Messiah" in her rich soprano voice. The organ background for the appropriate number made it particularly effective. Mrs. Ross continued with "Hark the Herald Angles Sing" and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear." The Mozart double quartette consisting of eight girls from the Anaheim high school favored with: "To a Wild Rose," "Goodnight, Goodnight, Beloved" and "Hark, What Mean Those Holy Voices? Mrs. Ross' "O Little Town of Bethlehem" supplied an appropriate background for Miss Lula Minters' splendid address on Palestine. Appearing in a costume of the country, Miss Minter who is a charming lecturer from Santa Ana and who has traveled through Palestine a number of times, supplemented her address with motion pleads. 120 Girl Reserves Active at Service Rev. Ray C. Harker Addressed Members On "Jesus the Light of the World" One hundred and twenty Girl Reserves took an active part in the recognition service held Sunday evening at the White Temple church. Beginning with the processional during which the girls filed in to the strains of "Hymn of Lights," the service continued with the invocation by the Rev. Ray C. Harker, pastor of the church, who also gave the address of the evening. "Jesus the Light of the World" was Rev. Harker's toople, and his remarks were followed by "The Star of Bethlehem" as sung by the Girl Reserves double quartet under the direction of Mrs. Winifred Sloop. Those in the quartet included Betty Berger, Doris Berger, Ellen Collins, Katherine Collins, Ethel Mathis, Mildred Rogers, L. C. Shaver and Helen Tobin. A group of girls from the senior group under the direction of Dr. Sarah Fay sang "Star Light." The second group was composed of Kathleen Sheridan, Mae Beatty, Anita Lee Androus, Ada Mae Stankey, Mary Louise Rundstrom, Dorothy Borchert and Marie West. Miss Leah Merchant repeated the Girl Reserve Code, after which Marlan Blewitt took charge of the rededication of old members and Maxine Whisenant took charge of the recognition of new members. The Girl Reserve Quest was explained by Miss Ann Mayes, and the Girl Reserve song "Follow the Gleam" was sung by the entire group. The main feature of the evening, however, was a pageant "Star of Bethlehem" which was directed by Edith Ellis. Impressive in its striking tableaux, the pageant depicted the first Christmas night at a field near Bethlehem. The prologue was spoken by Dorothy Suiter, while the parts of the shepherd boy and shepherd girl were taken by Lucille Shaver and Shirley Lewellyn respectively. In the center tableau, Emmaline Dinkler took part of the angel. Kathleen Sheridan was Mary. Joseph was depicted by Marie West and Juanita Whitehead, Ann Mayes and Kathleen Trecker were the three wise men, while Martha Whismant, Mae Beaty and Jewell Cathon were the three shepherds. Girl reserve ties and pins were distributed by Grace Mauerhan, Dr. Fay, Mrs. Sloop and Mrs. Conrad Jongewaard. Decorations were under the directions of Floma Sloop, while J. H. N. Ellis made the lighting effects possible. The state government was in the bond market in a big way this week. Governor Rolph started it off by authorizing the sale of $19,000,000 worth of San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge bonds to finance work on the huge span for 1934. Later he also authorized the sale of $6,000,000 worth of the relief bonds voted by the people to continue the state's program of aiding the unemployed and destitute. State Treasurer Charles G. Johnson also announced the sale of a $293,000 block of state park bonds to finance six additions to the state park system. California farmers are in favor of speeding up the bovine tuberculosis program being carried on by the state department of agriculture and the federal government. Under terms of a resolution passed at the farmers and fruit growers convention and sent to the department, the more extensive program could be financed by a processing tax on all butterfat and dairy substitutes. Despite the arrest of an asserted ringleader in the San Jose lynchings Governor Rolph is standing pat on his avowed intention of pardoning anyone convicted of charges growing out of the lynchings. Telegrams and letters continue to pour into Rolph's office as a result of his stand in favor of the mob action. The score; favorable, 2.713; unfavorable, 516. School Students Beginning Work On State's Fair Youngsters Seeking Gold Medals Are Keeping Notebooks for Award Competitions Competition for awards in the educational department of the 1934 California state fair has already begun among thousands of pupils in schools throughout the state. Alert students who are seeking the individual gold medals for projects of their own planning and achievement are now keeping notebooks and records from which they will formulate their exhibits next September. Original projects are being stressed by the fair's educational department in its 1934 plans. Girl students will have an opportunity to show their skill in such practical matters as good and poor hair dress, well-arranged closets, devices for storing clothing, stain removal, and budget making. Motor heat The Mozart double quartette consisting of eight girls from the Anaheim high school favored with: "To a Wild Rose," "Goodnight, Goodnight, Beloved" and "Hark, What Mean Those Holy Voices?" Mrs. Ross' "O Little Town of Bethlehem" supplied an appropriate background for Miss Lula Minters' splendid address on Palestine. Appearing in a costume of the country, Miss Minter who is a charming lecturer from Santa Ana and who has traveled through Palestine a number of times, supplemented her address with motion pictures of the country and laid out a fine panorama of the place where the Christ child was born. The tea table from which tea was dispensed at the close of the afternoon was centered with a lovely arrangement of the nativity scene which Mrs. F. E. Coulter of Santa Ana had arranged. Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Dora Pearson performed the honors at the tea urns with Mrs. J. W. Halpster assisting. Those who were in charge of the tea and helped materially in making the affair a decided social success were Mrs. Leo Frisis, Mrs. Earle Phillips, Mrs. B. Sidnam, Mrs. R. M. Waltz, Mrs. Holly Markle and Mrs. Fred Weisel. Christmas Fete at St. Michael's The Christmas season begins at St. Michael's Episcopal church with the church school festival on Christmas eve at 7 o'clock. A short carol service in the church will be followed by a party in the Parish hall. The midnight mass will begin at 11:30 o'clock Sunday night. This service is one of the principle acts of worship during the year, and a large congregation always attends to take part and listen to the Eucharistic music under the direction of Claude H. Smith. There will be a second celebration of the Eucharist on Christmas morning (Monday) at 10 o'clock. The Rev. D. Howard Dow, rector, will be celebrant, and will give a short address at each service. All those not affiliated with any other religious body are invited. FALSE FIRE ALARM A false alarm sent the city fire department rushing north on Olive street at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday evening. Subject Is Assigned For Sunday Sermon "Christian Science" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text presents the words of Jesus, from Mark: "These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." Among the Bible selections in the Lesson-Sermon are the words of Jesus, from John: "Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me... Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." A correlative passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "To-day the healing power of Truth is widely demonstrated as an immanent, eternal Science, instead of a phenomenal exhibition. Its appearing is the coming anew of the gospel of 'on earth peace,' good-will toward men." Orange and Grapefruit Production Shows 42 Per Cent Increase In Last Four Years General Manager Paul S. Armstrong of Exchange Says Citrus Industry Is Exposed to National and World Forces; Declares Citrus Grower Assets Fare Better and Have Better Prospects During the four years ending with 1932, orange and grapefruit production in the United States averaged 62,845,000 boxes, which is 42 per cent above the previous four years and 60 per cent above the average for 1920 to 1923. In 1931, 74,200,000 boxes were produced, and 1932 and 1933 likewise brought bumper crops in the face of constantly decreasing buying power. The most encouraging thing to citrus growers is the way demand for these fruits held up during this period, in which all of us have bought very carefully and millions had no money with which to buy oranges or grapefruit. These are statements of Paul S. Armstrong, general manager, California Fruit Growers Exchange, speaking in the outlook for the citrus industry to the Riverside Present Day Club Monday night. "The citrus industry in common with others, is exposed to national and even world forces, the results of which are not apparent or clear to anyone," said Mr. Armstrong. "In making forecasts, we must assume a return to more normal conditions, a substantial recovery from depression and a stable currency (Varying conclusions may be drawn from the facts and figures I give you). We must apply our best thought to our industry problems and work them out together." "Citrus growers have had their assets diminish since 1929, but as compared with the shrinkage in other investments, most growers will agree that their citrus properties have fared better and are still more promising than most investments. Our present difficulty is that from $150 to $200 per acre is required to maintain our groves, regardless of any other grower marketing otherwise, in no more and no less. The minority can no longer take advantage of the majority and each must bear his fair share of the burden of maintaining the market." Surplus control must be regarded as an emergency measure rather than a permanent program. We must not Committee Studies Plan to Aid Women Members of the Orange county committee in charge of civil works program are considering ways and means of providing work for unemployed women. Committee R. B. Newcom says that considerations are being given to plans to put women to work repairing books in libraries which would provide labor for about 15; on sewing projects, to employ about $800. Under the latter plan the committee may divide the work into 16 groups of 50 women each, providing each group with materials for making garments, which would be distributed to the needy. Arizona Building New Road To Dam Destined to be a terminus portion at Hoover Dam of the new highway soon to be paved to Kingman, construction is now underway on a section of the highway leading away from the dam top on the Arizona side, according to a report received by the Automobile Club of Southern California. The masonry retaining wall marking the canyon boundary of the highway which may be seen near the Arizona spillway at the top of Black Canyon wall on the Arizona side, is the portion where work is in progress. Leaving the dam, the highway will cross the spillway over a long steel bridge, circle around to an "observation point" on the Arizona sides and then back to connect one or if he likes none of them, can market his own fruit. But no matter how he markets his fruit, whether cooperative, cash or consignment, his opportunity to ship shall be the same as every other grower marketing otherwise, in no more and no less. The minority can no longer take advantage of the majority and each must bear his fair share of the burden of maintaining the market. Surplus control must be regarded as an emergency measure rather than a permanent program. We must not overlook building demand so we can sell all our good fruit at a living return to the grower. But for the $18,000,000 investment made by Exchange growers in Sunkist advertising over the last 26 years, it would not have been possible to sell 75,000 carloads of California citrus in 1933. "It is to be hoped that under the national marketing agreement some way will be found for the other shippers and growers in all citrus producing states to do their share of the adevrtising job." Here are Empress Maria Louisa's jewels given to her by Napoleon Bonaparte upon the birth of the long hoped for heir to the Emperor's throne. They are being worn here by our own Mary Pickford at Hollywood. They are owned by New York jewelers and valued at $500,000. One Murder—Two Confessions Above are the principals in the year's most mystifying murder of Mrs. Rheta Gardner Wynekoop at Chicago. Above, left is Earle Wynekoop, husband of Rheta, below, and son of Dr. Alice Wynekoop, right. The partly clad body of the wife was found with a bullet in the back on the operating table in Dr. Alice Wynekoop's basement office at Chicago. Grilling of Dr. Alice and son Earle finally brought forth confessions from both, each absolving the other.
