50 Years Ago June 5, 1887 The coast survey party now making their headquarters in Anaheim have been engaged in a thorough reconnoissance of the surrounding country to determine the best location for a ten mile base line from which to start their triangulation that is to extend northward and connect with former surveys in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, and southward to the Mexican boundary, also to connect with San Clemente and Santa Catalina islands. The general gentlemen composing the party express themselves much pleased with this section of the country, and thoroughly appreciate and enjoy the hospitalities extended to them by our citizens. This feeling is reciprocated, and we trust their stay may be indefinitely prolonged. Schools will close for the summer vacation in all of the rooms except the Grammar, which will continue one week longer. The doors are wide open and we extend a cordial invitation to all friends and an urgent request to all parents to call and see some of the work that we are and have been doing. We shall have regular school work every day of the week. Do not wait until the last day.—A. W. Plummer, principal.

Robb This is a non-political, non-partisan column dealing in Townsend news and views, and written by prominent Townsend leader. Any opinions which are expressed herein are brought to them a generous prosperity. It is natural that the people should ask who is going to pay the taxes out of which the annuity or pension fund will be created. In answer to that the writer quotes paragraph (b) Section 3 of the Townsend bill. It follows: "All returns for the excises, taxes or duties imposed by this act shall be made by, and the excise, tax or duty shall be paid by, the vender, transferer, granter, assigner, lesser, renter, lender, depositor, and/or pledgee, as the case may be, by the person or legal entity by whom the service is furnished, and by the recipient in all other cases, for each and every transfer of money and/or property and/or rendition or performance of service, and for all transactions arising under executory contract the return shall be made the excise, tax or duty shall be paid as of the date payment under such executory contract is made." A study of the above portion of the bill quoted makes plain that the taxes collected by the Townsend bill if enacted into law will be paid by the seller and met by the buyer, by the land-lord and not by the renter, by the lender and not by the borrower and so forth. Paragraph (c) of Section 3 makes provision for payment of all such taxes levied on estates, gifts and inheritances within certain prescribed periods. I quote paragraph (d) of Section 3 because it makes plain what requirements will be made in connection with the payment of the taxes and to whom they shall be paid. I quote from the bill: "Every return of excise, taxes or duties, together with the payment of excises, taxes or duties, as required by this act, shall be made to the collector of internal revenue of the United States, or to such other persons as may be designated by the secretary of the treasury in administrative rules and regulations issued under made. The secretary shall provide the forms for returns herein required." Paragraph (e) says: "No return need be made and no excise, tax or duty need be paid if the amount due for any calendar month is less than one dollar ($1.00)." The bill says under paragraph (f): "The secretary of the treasury shall enforce the payment of the excises, taxes or duties required by this act to be paid, and shall promptly deposit in the United States treasury, in the fund hereinafter designated, all moneys received by him through or from the collection of such excises, taxes or duties." "It will be noted that under Section 4 of the bill provision is made for segregating the collection of taxes, excises or duties collected under this act into a separate fund to be used only for the purposes of this act. I quote Section 4 of the bill: "There is hereby created in the treasury department of the United States a fund to be known and administered as the general welfare fund. All revenue derived from the excises, taxes or duties levied in and under this act shall be deposited in said fund, and shall be disbursed only for the payment of the sums expressly authorize by this act to be paid therefrom, and for no other purpose."" The writer believes that if this portion of the bill given in this week's column is carefully studied then every such student will understand the carefulness and wisdom that has been used in the framing of this general welfare act of 1937 as the bill is named. It should also be conclusive proof that only good can come to the American people if the Townsend plan bill is enacted into the law of the land. (To be Continued) Acts and Facts of Townsendism By Walter R. Robb Last week this column explainthat the new Townsend plan will now in the hands of the ways and means committee of the congress does not contemplate paying $200.00 per month pensions to its 60 year old applinants at the start. This week the writer wants to gain emphasize that pensions will be paid only in proportion to the amount of revenue raised by the 2 per cent transaction tax which will be imposed upon the gross dollar value of each transaction done within the United States, except transactions by or through any govern-mental agency or involving any security issued by a governmental agency. The bill also provides for varying a 2% tax upon the gross dollar value of all transfers of money and/or property by devise, request, or other testamentary disposition or legal descent of money or property. The new Townsend bill will not increase the nation's public indebtedness. The Townsend plan is a pay as you go system. It will provide adequate pensions for the elderly and employment for the younger at wages sufficiently high to what requirements will be made in connection with the payment of the taxes and to whom they shall be paid. I quote from the bill: "Every return of excise, taxes or duties, together with the payment of excises, taxes or duties, as required by this act, shall be made to the collector of internal revenue of the United States, or to such other persons as may be designated by the secretary of the treasury in administrative rules and regulations issued under this act; for the district from which such return is made, as of the end of each calendar month during which such excises, taxes or duties become fixed and chargeable. The return is mandatory, must be sworn to and shall be delivered and the excises, taxes or duties paid to said collector of internal revenue or other persons not later than ten (10) days after the expiration of the calendar month for which such return is Walter H.

See BOULDER DAM EH ROUTE For complete information R. A. PARKER, Agent, Anaheim, Union Pacific Station; Phone 3519 THE PROGRESSIVE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD SHIP AND RIDE UNION PACIFIC Sheppard Offers Moritorium Bill On Mine Claims Congressman Harry R. Sheppard has introduced a bill to provide for a moratorium during the fiscal year of 1936-37 on mining claims owned by persons whose incomes were insufficient to pay federal income tax during the fiscal year of 1935-1936. Introduction of the Sheppard bill climaxed an unsuccessful fight on the part of the California congressmen to get committee action on two similar bills introduced by members of Congress who were not members of the mining committee. It is understood that the department of interior does not look with favor upon a moratorium for the present fiscal year. Unless the Sheppard moratorium bill is passed all mining claims without patents must have at least $100 in labor or improvements performed before July 1, 1937. In commenting upon this legislation Sheppard stated, "I am not trying to continue the moratorium on mining claims for the person who is financially able to make the necessary improvements. The income tax clause takes care of that factor. I do mean to put up a fight, however, for the poor prospector and individual claim holder who will in many cases have their claims 'jumped' after July 1st unless my bill is passed. Most of those folks are under the misapprehension that the present law covers the present fiscal year, but that is not true." Tulane University will send the most comprehensive collection of Guatemala textiles in existence, reflecting the innate artistry of Indians of that country, for an exhibit at the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition.
