Acts and Facts of Townsendism
By Walter R. Robb
(This is a non-political, non-partisan column dealing in Townsend news and views, and written by a prominent Townsend leader. Any opinions which are expressed herein are not necessarily those of the Gazette).
Every thinking American citizen knows that the nation is now in the throes of a struggle between conflicting schools of ing schools of thought. It is a contest between a group who believe that the here-to-fore, almost purely voluntary self-regulating business method system has become obsolete in its power to longer serve the best interests of the nation, and another group who is equally convinced that such is not at all true. This latter group advocate a continued use of the competitive American system of business regulation with a modern tax system imposed, which will result in an equitable distribution of produced wealth without the loss of previously enjoyed individual freedom.
The first group is represented by the present administration of which President Roosevelt is the head. They would take away from the states the power to regulate intrastate matters as well as interstate ones, and would congregate the power to control such things in bureaucratic heads lo-

Jack J. Doyle, Los Angeles man, was elected president of the Oil Producers Agency of California at the annual election meeting of the board of directors held Wednesday, April 21.
The new president of the agency is also president of the Doyle Petroleum corporation, the Elyce Oil company, and general manager of the Doyle-Clune Oil company... His companies are active in Maricopa, Fruitvale, Sign Hill, Santa Fe Springs, and Jamie mine, as well as having extensive holdings in Texas and Oklahoma.
Railroad's Income Shows Big Increase
Participating in the country increasing prosperity, the Santa Fe Railway shows a net operating income of $2,307,097 for the first two months of this year as compared with $675,545 for the similar period a year ago. President S. T. Bledsoe announced today following the annual meeting of the Santa Fe stockholders, held in Topeka, Kansas, on Thursday, April 22.
"The Santa Fe carloadings began tween January 1 and April 17 increased 18 per cent over the same period last year," Bledsoe said. "The increase for the week ending April 17 was 21.5 per cent. The larger gains were in the movement of live stock, grain lumber, oil and other freight which includes merchandise, cotton, cement, flour and hay."
The first group is represented by the present administration of which President Roosevelt is the head. They would take away from the states the power to regulate intrastate matters as well as interstate ones, and would congregate the power to control such things in bureaucratic heads located in Washington. Under their method greater and greater power would be given such overlords, and in the same proportion corporation and business concerns would lose the privilege to dictate the policies of their own business. Such control, of course, could not be realized without it was extended to also curtail the freedom of action and decision of employees of such concerns. The placing of such power of regulatory control over intra-state business in the hands of administration appointed bureaucratic heads would, of course, be the first step toward an almost dictatorial power being given the nation's chief executive. Once such consent was given for such universal control, to protect any demands made by him through such heads would be an invitation to the ones in national control to visit upon the protestant whatever punishment their opinions thought desirable for achieving the compliance with their regimentation methods in vogue. Under such a system the freedom of speech would become greatly abridged. No longer could one with safety freely express his opinions through the press if he differed with those in power, and eventually the privilege of even yorshiping in harmony with the dictates of his own conscience would be lost. The march of the chief executive from that time on to complete dictatorship would be of easy attainment if he desired it.
The second group are composed of those whose convictions are that the present competitive system of business regulation is still capable of functioning for the general welfare of all citizens. They believe some corrections should be made in the operations of the capitalistic methods of wealth distribution which would be more equitable, but firmly believe that such could be accomplished without curtailment of individual freedom. They believe that tax will result in an equitable distribution of produced wealth without the loss of previously enjoyed individual freedom.
The City Council reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, or any part of any proposal, and may accept proposals separately for advertising required by law to be published in a daily newspaper, for advertising not required by law to be printed in a daily newspaper, but required by law to be printed each issue for a definite period of time.
BY ORDER OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM.
Dated this 27th day of April, 1937.
CHARLES E. GRIFFITH,
City Clerk of the
City of Anaheim:

instituted in the present system, and that soon, then loss of American democracy will surely come. Therefore they spread the gospel of economic reform. They preach the benefits of the spirit of democratic government and seek its continuance. In every Townsend club meeting they pledge their loyalty to the flag and the republican form of government it represents. They have hoped that the present disinterested public will become alive to the grave danger that confronts American citizens, and rally to the cause of democracy before it is too late.
Every day it becomes more and more apparent that the eventual contest in America will be between the advocates of the new deal philosophy and the proponents of the American system of economics as advocated by the Townsend movement. This is a prophecy. Wait and see if the writer is not correct. The next great political conflict will be a battle between these two widely differing schools of thought. Not so much in objectives to be obtained as in the methods which
The second group are composed of those whose convictions are that the present competitive system of business regulation is still capable of functioning for the general welfare of all citizens. They believe some corrections should be made in the operations of the capitalistic methods of wealth distribution which would be more equitable, but firmly believe that such could be accomplished without curtailment of individual freedom. They believe that tax methods could be instituted which would correct the tendency to congregate undue proportions of the national wealth in the hands of the few. With big business made subject to tax methods of a nature equitable to both big business and the public, this latter group believe that much of present distress and dis-satisfaction now generally evident would automatically disappear.
The signs of the times indicate only too clearly that a supreme contest between these two groups is now beginning to take place. Strange to say, much of the business world has apparently been quite unconscious that revolutionary forces have been fighting for the privilege of establishing in the life of the nation these two totally different methods of business control, with entirely different effects on the life of individuals and business concerns.
The Townsend people have been conscious for some time of this struggle for supremacy on the part of these contesting forces. As a whole they stand for the present American system without the government's intrusion into their private matters. But they are fully aware that unless a more just wealth distribution reform is

College Students Found More Moral
College students today are far more moral than those of former eras, according to Mryon C. Cole, assistant dean of men at Chapman college, who has been conducting a survey upon the manners and morals of the students found in his college. The depression and past depression generation of students reach a much higher level of character development than their predecessors in the colleges during a more prosperous era, according to Cole.
The present adult generation is more responsible than the youth of the country for current moral and social conditions, he states, and for the most part the students are raising the standards rather than conforming entirely to resent trends. In regard to friendships between the sexes found that most college men offer girls with high ideals those who are interested in serious things, although they eling to their preferen friends with whom they can a great deal of fun.

Nancy Baker Uses K.C. Baking Powder
There is not a purer, better nor more effective baking powder on the market than K.C., Miss Nancy Baker told women in attendance at the Gazette cooking school at the K.P. hall last week. The lecturer at the cooking school used double-tested, double-action K.C. baking powder exclusively during the entire school.
K.C. is made by manufacturers who make nothing but baking powder and because of this, they have been able to develop a highly efficient product by concentrating all their research toward the improvement of this one product. For 40 years K.C. baking powder has been selling at the same standard price, and there is more K.C. manufactured and shipped than any other brand.
