Business Man Approves Gas Tax Measure "As one of California's motor-ing fraternity I take great pride in traveling over what I believe to be the world's finest and most up-to-date system of streets and highways, construction and maintenance of which we pay for in the form of a special gasoline tax," declared F. A. Yungbluth, local merchant, yesterday. "So far our gasoline revenues have been protected against attempts at every session of the legislature to put through bills seeking a share to pay for something entirely foreign to motor vehicle usage. The coming election will give us an opportunity to stop this continual asking by 'gimme' politicians, and forever safeguard the gasoline tax money by voting 'Yes' on Proposition 10, amending the constitution and stopping Modernize Your home Farm buildings Business property Timeplan Timeplan Financing under FHA is low cost and convenient" Illinois Picnic to Be Held Saturday The Illinoisans of Southern California are invited to their postponed picnic reunion, all day, Saturday, October 31, in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles. President Henry J. Brubaker announces all the usual attractions, including the county registers, open all day, and the hot coffee, silk badges, popular program and sociability all day long. The federal music project will furnish a colored concert band of 50 pieces and vocal soloists. The Illinoisans are urged to pass the word along to all tourists and new comers. Use of this special fund for anything but highway purposes. "From 1925 to 1929, inclusive, gas tax diversion in the United States totaled $48,000,000. From 1928 to 1935, inclusive, the total jumped to $575,000,000. Result? Highways were not improved as they should have been in diversion states due to lack of money. Something had to be done so the poor, already overtaxed motorist was assessed more per gallon. That was the case in every state where the gas tax was turned into other channels. "This state's superb network of streets and highways should be maintained and advanced as needed and we, California's two and a quarter million motorists, are willing to do our part. We should not, however, pay motor vehicle taxes for other than highway unkeep.

Robb (This is a non-political, non-paranoid column dealing in Townsend news and views, and written by prominent Townsend leader. A opinions which are expressed here are not necessarily those of the Gazette). The writer presents this column in today's Gazette especially for its readers, as he feels that a few account of Anaheim Townsend happenings with in the past week was of sufficient importance warrant such treatment. Due to a mis-state ment in the press, as to the hour of last Sunday's Townsend Mass meeting Anaheim Townsend send hall, many Townsendites failed to get the benefit of attending the meeting. For the benefit of those thus included from being present at the request of Mrs. Ida Freeman president of Anaheim Townsend club, the writer today presents quite complete account of the meeting, and the address of main speaker. The crowd assembled in Townsend send hall, at 210 South Clementin street was called to order at 2:30 o'clock by Mrs. Freeman, who provided over the meeting.

The usual order in Townsend gathering was followed. First the singing of America, followed by the salute and pledge. Mrs. Lydia Herman, led the audience in the recitation of the pledge. Rev. F. Hudson, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church, offered the invocation. Miss Althia Togel, with splendid voice and well rendered vocal numbers then contributed to the enjoyment of those present in number entitled "A Lullaby." An encore numbers she gave "On Fine Day" and an extraction from "Madame Butterfly." She was accompanied by her sister Miss Rose Togel. Herbert F. Kenny of Santa Ana was then prevailed upon to lead the audience in community singing. Kenny is an old experienced song leader. He knows how to get the folks to sing which he demonstrated Sunday afternoon. A lot of enjoyment was had in the singing of the campaign songs just now in vogue in Townsend gatherings. One in particular which always in demand is entitled "Townsend Will Shine Tonight." This song is sometimes changed around to fit various Townsend candidates as it was in this meeting. It was used with the name of Sheppard instead of Townsend and with the name of Riley. The caused it to be sang with—Sheppard will shine tonight, and Riley will shine tonight. Another song now frequently used is one that built around the incident when D. Townsend walked out on the Townsend congressional investigation committee. The chorus includes "and the Doctor walked on them which was just the thing to do." Kenny piloted the growth through these numbers and several others to the great pleasure of the audience. Mrs. Freeman then presents Harry D. Riley, candidate for supervisor from the Orange county third district, who in turn pro- Consider the advantages of electric cookery: DEPENDABLE... no fluctuation in heat.

She let it be known that she was of the unalterable opinion that our movement should remain non-partisan, in order to best prosecute its interests. She thought, she said, that it was far more important as to what kind of a man a candidate was and whether he had shown himself to be favorable to the people interests, and especially the Townsend plan, than whether he was a republican, or a democrat. By remaining non-partisan, as she pointed out, candidates from all political parties could be used to represent the Townsend interests, in the United States congress. There was a spirit of optimism all through her address which evidenced a strong belief in the eventual success of the Townsend forces. She illustrated her optimism by telling of a certain news-paperman in the northern part of the state, who had been much opposed to the Townsend movement and ridiculed its strength politically; who took a poll of his subscribers and was dumb-founded from its returns being so favorable to the Townsend cause. He summed up his findings by saying, "Well—one think I know—whatever candidate gets the support of the Townsend vote will be elected." That she stated was the situation everywhere in California. She concluded her address with an exhortation to Townsend members to strive on and on, in a continued attempt to once again "restore to the people a government, which is by the people and for the people, and which must never perish from the earth." It was a fine speech, delivered in a fine broad American spirit, but never-the-less characterized by the fervor of one who crusades in behalf of social betterment and economic rehabilitation, as all thorough Townsendites do. The meeting was dismissed by the Townsend pledge of loyalty benediction, which swears allegiance to the Townsend cause and leadership, and to the maintenance of the democratic spirit and form of government in America.

RILEY Will Make a Good Supervisor RILEY has had 28 years experience in business management, as a merchant, as a worker, as a rancher, and the knowledge he has thus gained has qualified him to fill the office of Supervisor with credit to our County.

Captain Joe Campbell of the Cadets scored the only touchdown in the first quarter when he crashed over tackle, reversed his field and galloped 42 yards to the goal line. Campbell plunged over for the extra point. Neither team threatened seriously during the rest of the game, with most of the play taking place near midfield. They hope you won't see.. IT'S A NEW TAX ON YOUR FOOD ...and other necessities They call Proposition #22 a "Retail Store License" to hide the fact that you will pay it IT IS CLEVERLY NAMED to look like something else. But no one denies that its main purpose is to raise retail prices—to increase the cost of living for Californians who can least afford it! When read carelessly, Proposition #22 sounds innocent enough. It taxes an individual store $1.00 a year for you in prices 10% below the average. The Harvard (University) School of Business Research states these to be the facts. The tax is greater than the profit of four out of five chain stores. Thus some of them will be forced to close—allowing their competitors to raise prices. IT IS CLEVERLY NAMED to look like something else. But no one denies that its main purpose is to raise retail prices—to increase the cost of living for Californians who can least afford it! When read carelessly, Proposition #22 sounds innocent enough. It taxes an individual store $1.00 a year for the right to do business. But it taxes chain stores $500.00 for each store over nine. But, says the U.S. Federal Trade Commission: “If the ability to undersell, based on greater efficiency or on elimination of credit and delivery cost, is destroyed by taxation, it is the consuming public which will really pay the tax and not the chain.” For chain stores operate on a small profit. They eliminate middlemen’s profits and unnecessary in-between expense. The savings they make by operating efficiently are passed on to you in prices 10% below the average. The Harvard (University) School of Business Research states these to be the facts. The tax is greater than the profit of four out of five chain stores. Thus some of them will be forced to close—allowing their competitors to raise prices. Surviving chains will be forced to raise their prices to pay the “license.” In either case—you will foot the bill. Admittedly not for revenue purposes, the tax is a cleverly masked attempt to subsidize the middleman and wasteful business methods—at your expense. If you think that chain store competition helps to keep all prices reasonable—if you believe that taxes are high enough already, particularly on foods—vote NO and keep prices low. For no matter what they call it...no matter how they try to conceal it...22 is a tax on you—VOTE NO! 22 IS A TAX ON YOU—VOTE NO! RETAIL STORE LICENSE Referendum against act of Legislature (Chapter 849, Statutes 1923) requiring every person or organization owning, operating or controlling one or more stores, wherein merchandise is sold at retail, obtain annual State license; prescribing fifty cents application fee for each store and one dollar license fee for one store, increasing license fee progressively for second and additional stores to five hundred dollars for each store over nine; excepts filling stations, ice distributing establishments, restaurant facilities of common carriers, newspaper offices, stores wherein sales are incidental to rendering personal service, theatres and motion picture houses.
