Indian Scouts In Picturesque Scene From Ramona Pageant History, romance and beauty woven into a dramatic story of Indian life and Spanish occupation during the days when California was being invaded by white settlers furnishes the background for the spectacular Ramona Pageant held annually in Ramona Bowl, a spot designed by nature overshadowed by snow-capped Mt. San Jacinto and situated but a short distance from the city of Hemet. The play follows the story in Helen Hunt Jackson's widely read book, "Ramona," and is a gift from the people of San Jacinto and Hemet, not only to the people of California, but to the people of the world who appreciate fast-moving historical drama authentically produced on the very ground where it was originally enacted. This year the Ramona Pageant is scheduled for production on Saturday and Sunday, April 18-19, April 25-26 and May 2 and 3, and will be enacted by a cast of 250 players including inhabitants of San Jacinto and Hemet. Indians from the surviving tribes in the vicinity and many children, both white and Indian, who add materially to the realism of the production. There are thirty speaking parts in Ramona and with the exception of Alessandro and Ramona, portrayed by Victor Jory and Jean Inness, are carefully selected from local Pageant entrances.

Chefs of great hotels are more than just fine cooks — they have to be good business men and real efficiency experts, too. That's why they all cook with gas. They know it is quicker, hotter, more flexible and easier to work with than any other kind of fuel or heat. And the manager knows how much more economical it is. 1,095 MEALS AT HOME Of course, big hotels and restaurants cook many thousands of meals. But three meals a day for 365 days amount to 1,095 a year, right in your own home! It's just as important to you, too, to cook with the best fuel — especially when it is by far the lowest in cost.

SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1936 Members of Local VFW At Meet In Redlands A number of the local members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars post here attended a meeting last Sunday in Redlands where they heard their national commander, Jimmy Van Zandt as well as Department Commander Nichols. The local post, as well as every other V. F. W. post in Orange county as represented in the parade which marked the opening of the pre-convention rally with the Redlands post acting as host for the day. The parade was headed by Amarock Drum Corps of San Diego. The parade was followed by a dinner in the V. F. W. hall, which was in turn followed by the meeting in the auditorium of the high school. Van Zandt was escorted into the meeting by Department Commander Nichols, the National commander spoke of the veteran efforts and stated, among other things that the greatest anti-veteran menace was the man elegible who belonged to no veteran order. The meeting was also addressed by the mayors of Redlands and DEMOCRATS DIVIDE FORCES Orange county democracy is in a queer state. The house is divided against itself. The county is almost equally divided as between democratic and republican registrations. The two parties are also well divided within themselves. The situation as among the republicans was set forth previously in this column. The situation with reference to the democrats deserves a few paragraphs. There are two main divisions of democrats—Ham Cottonites and Epics. There are two other divisions—genuine democrats of the old school and Townsend-McGoarty democrats. To be sure, the lines between these divisions are not all clear-cut. Some genuine democrats are Epics and some are Cottonites, with a tendency of late for more of them to get on the Cotton bandwagon. They resigned from the committee on account of weaker ones, and those for some crumbs from the ronage table, have knuckleder. The Epic democrats are going to have candidates in the primaries. They do not know nor for what offices, but will be some. They have decided whether Ray Adkis satisfactory as a congress candidate, but they are sure nobody yet mentioned for office will suit. Do there, however, the dearest pretty well united on velt. Genuines, Epics and tonites are all for Franklin they say. With those Townsenditis register democrat the s is different. They appear mostly for the McGroart of national delegates, but WASHINGTON SNAP-SHOTS words are being spoken nation's lawmakers these about the tenacity with some "downtown" officials ideas. The new tax bill the situation into the tax plan first was led to Congress, it surprisely body. Leaders had ex- a fairly simple bill. In they had warned that passage and measure would be political suicide because it would awaken the small tax payer as to what is in store for him after the election when the bill begins to be paid. But Congress, nevertheless, was asked to change the whole basic structure of corporation taxes. The proposal was to put stiff levies on profits which were not distributed as dividends to stockholders but which were turned into surpluses and reserves. Legislators swiftly remembered that it was reserves which let thousands of concerns employing millions of men weather five depression years. In other words, the money that had gone "into the sock" in good years was used to pay running expenses during the bad. It was suggested, therefore, that the new taxes not be so high as to force distribution of all profits. Let some, the lawmakers said, be put into reserves. The treasury balked, even refusing at first to estimate how much revenue might be obtained if the diversion of some profits into reserves were permitted. But when Congress put its own experts at work on estimates, the treasury supplied some too. All this scrapping with treasury officials took place in secret meetings. An interesting fact was this: Secretary Morgenthau in the open says the Constitution will not let him suggest to Congress ways and means of raising revenue. In private, however, some of Morgenthau's helpers carried their insistence so far as to refuse even to supply essential estimates. After considerable bucking, the erence to the democrats deserves a few paragraphs. There are two main divisions of democrats—Ham Cottonites and Epics. There are two other divisions—genuine democrats of the old school and Townsend-McGoarty democrats. To be sure, the lines between these divisions are not all clear-cut. Some genuine democrats are Epics and some are Cottonites, with a tendency of late for more of them to get on the Cotton bandwagon. The genuine democrats, by the way, are the old regulars who bore the brunt of party work during the many lean years. They do not relish the invasion of leaders who became democrats only with the party's 1932 success, nor do they enjoy the dictatorship of Cotton, though not denying his party regularity, except that those who went Epic are bitter over his support of Merriam in 1834. Those of the genuine democrats who have kept free of "foreign entanglements" have struggled to keep control of the party organization, but without much success. So far as patronage is concerned they have seen the Cotton dictatorship triumph at every test. Last week Jules Markel, one of the staunch "gen- 000,000 a year. That is but a drop in the bucket compared with Social Security costs, which will run from $2,400,000,000 to $2,-800,000,000, with a tax beginning next year on virtually every employee in the country. Putting both the Social Security and new corporation taxes together, the tax experts found that business and industry would have to provide from $3,020,000,000 to $3,420,000,000 to the federal government in a time when every available penny is needed to speed recovery. PLENTY THINGS OF IMPORTANCE There are a good many moving in Orange county important. All of the serve attention from citizen care anything about the of the county as a whole. The matter of locating state prison in Orange was brought up last week it was announced that tha had taken an option o Banning land southeast o Ana, with the intent to out the public on its wi to have it locate there. The reactions are ning to come in—mostly r able. What all is behi All this scrapping with treasury officials took place in secret meetings. An interesting fact was this: Secretary Morgenthau in the open says the Constitution will not let him suggest to Congress ways and means of raising revenue. In private, however, some of Morgenthau's helpers carried their insistence so far as to refuse even to supply essential estimates. After considerable bucking, the Congressmen indicated they would try to put through the new corporation taxes, with some modifications. Some saw the agreement as smart politics, because it would put the new tax load on a few thousand persons for the present. But others were sensible enough to remember that every dollar in taxes collected from industry comes, in the end, from the same place—the man who buys the finished article. And when they added to that the fact that every penny in new taxes reduces the real purchasing value of the consumer's income, and thereby lowers the standard of living, they began to think more and more about the necessity of cutting the huge expenditures which are responsible for the new taxes. One significant factor appeared to have been overlooked in the initial discussions. But questioning of the legislators developed that it had not been overrooked—it had just been side tracked because it was an unpleasant thing to think and talk about. It was the load which industry already must absorb, beginning this year and next, as a result of the Federal Social Security Act. The change in corporation taxes was estimated to raise the corporations' tax burden about $620,- WHEN Ford beats even Ford's famous economies in a new car, that's real news.

They appear to be mostly for the McGroarty slate in national delegates, but their commitments as to a candidate are not well crystallized. Dr. Townsend himself brought new concession this week by advising all his folks to register republican and support Senator Borah for president. So which corner had he better get off at, conductor? Congressionally, the Townsend people are by no means sold on Tom Collins. Although boosted by the official leaders Sam is not going to get complete support from the rank and file. The honest truth is that they do not completely trust him. His record looks pretty good, but—Altogether it makes one of the most jig-saw puzzle pictures you ever tried to put together. ENTITY THINGS OF IMPORTANCE There are a good many things moving in Orange county that are important. All of them deserve attention from citizens who are anything about the welfare of the county as a whole. The matter of locating a new state prison in Orange county was brought up last week when it was announced that the state had taken an option on someanning land southeast of Santa Ana, with the intent to sound out the public on its willingness to have it locate the prison here. The reactions are beginning to come in—mostly unfavorable. What all is behind this move is not yet made plain at least so far as this writer has had time to learn. It is fairly safe guess that no such prison will be put in this county, but it is a matter to which the people should be awakened. The matter of salvaging sewage water, now wasted into the ocean, is again to fore. The trustees of the Orange County Water district are now going to take over investigation of the matter, and see what it learns can be done to bring about the reclamation of this water. In connection with this matter is the question of the lower section of the big outfall sewer, extending from the Greenville neighborhood to the ocean. Through this section is poured the sewage from about three-fourths of Orange county's population. And the word is that the section is rapidly deteriorating and may have to be replaced before long. Wisdom would seem to indicate that this reported fact should be part of the consideration in connection with sewage water reclamation. Also, in this connection, is an attempt to make a new study of county water problems. A meeting was called for last night at which were in attendance a number of leaders, the purpose being to lay a foundation for a county-wide meeting later on. The study is being promoted by the extension department of the state university, with Harold Whalberg, farm advisor, in the active role. A flareup in connection with the marketing of valencia oranges attracted some attention last week. A group of growers has been trying to form some sort of organization to make things easier. The cause seems to have been a situation within the present marketing cooperatives which some of the growers felt was operating against the valencia interests, and hence against Orange county. It was not intended that the matter should be broadcast, and especially deplored was the alleged reflection upon the California Fruit Growers Exchange. It appears that there are some important differences to be ironed out among the promoters of the new group, as well as between them and the established cooperatives. All these matters have a direct and important bearing upon the welfare of Orange county as a whole. No person can be intelligently informed on county affairs without learning something about them all. And if that isn't enough to keep you busy you can take a shot at county politics and start considering the situation in which there appears likely to be three different sets of candidates in each political party's national delegate organization.
