KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. END FLAGRANT DEMAGOGUERY A well known economist, in a forecast of 1939 business prospects, states that one highly encouraging element is the apparent lessening of political "business baiting." It is true that business as a whole has been accorded less abuse of late, due largely to the result of the November elections, in which a number of extremists and radicals of both parties were retired from office by their disgusted constituents. But business' very real and justified fear of political persecution remains a dominant factor in current domestic affairs. There is still a sizeable school of small-bore politicians—most of whom never operated a productive business in their lives, and whose livelihood for years has been contributed by the taxpayers—whose principal delight is to attack those private industries which provide the nation's jobs, taxes and opportunities, and keep the country a going concern. The banks, the utilities, the large retail systems, outstanding manufacturers—these are but a few of the great industries, the cornerstone of our national economy, which have been the butt of vicious and unfounded attacks by vote-seekers. Business isn't perfect. If business breaks the law, it should be punished. If there are abuses in business, legislation can be framed to correct and prevent them. But to seize upon the occasional industry or businessman, who is justly subject to criticism, and claim that this is representa-tional business is the most flagrant kind of demagoguery. tack those private industries which provide the nation's jobs, taxes and opportunities, and keep the country a going concern.

Business isn't perfect. If business breaks the law, it should be punished. If there are abuses in business, legislatlation can be framed to correct and prevent them. But to seize upon the occasional industry or businessman, who is justly subject to criticism, and claim that this is representative of all business, is the most flagrant kind of demagoguery. It is the kind of demagoguery which drives money into hiding, which creates unemployment and lack of confidence, and which prolongs depression. It is becoming evident that the public is getting fed up on this kind of cheap 'statesmanship.' It remains to be seen what attitude the current Congress will take toward business. If it is a fair and cooperative attitude, the country will go forward. If it is "flagrant demagoguery" the country will go back. RAILROADS—NO. 1 TAXPAYER Every American citizen has a direct financial stake in the railroad industry because of the tremendous taxes it pays— taxes that would have to be made up by heavier levies on all other businesses and individuals, if the railroads were socialized. In 1937, all the revenue received during 29 average operating days went to the tax collector—as against 22 days in 1927. For every dollar the railroads paid their owners in dividends in 1937, they paid $1.94 in taxes—as against 67 cents in 1917. For every employe in 1937, they paid $292.16 in taxes, as against $123.45 in 1917. The taxes paid by the railroads amount to more than the Federal income taxes paid by the residents of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and all states West of the Mississippi River. The insolvency of a number of railroads, and the economic dangers facing the industry as a whole, have justly worried many local units of government. Many a county literally lives almost entirely on the tax revenue received from a railroad. And the railroads are among the chief supporters of school districts. Their school taxes alone come to more than $100,000,000 a year—enough to educate 1,300,000 children. Destroy railroads, or make them tax-exempt as they would be under government ownership, and our educational system would receive a terrific financial blow. Taxes paid constitute just one of the tremendous economic contributions made to all America by this essential industry! It's no wonder that economists, the press, government officials and other thinking people are urging that legislation to help the rails regain their economic feet, be framed immediately by Congress. MANY HAPPY RETURNS! As America launches herself into 1939, one third of the Taxes paid constitute just one of the tremendous economic contributions made to all America by this essential industry! It's no wonder that economists, the press, government officials and other thinking people are urging that legislation to help the rails regain their economic feet, be framed immediately by Congress. MANY HAPPY RETURNS! As America launches herself into 1939, one third of the nation can count its dividends for 1938 and can confidently claim many happy returns of the year! One third of a nation roughly comprises the population of motordom, that great bloc of people who daily traverse the country's three million miles of roadways on pleasure, business, and bread-winning. Taking stock of events during the last twelve months, motordom can lay claim to an enviably successful record. As drivers, pedestrians, passengers and consumers, most of us, in one way or another, are important shareholders in that record! Despite increasing travel, the latest available statistics show that traffic fatalities in 1938 were cut down 21 per cent below the 1937 figure! In 1937 commercial vehicles were alone in achieving a 10 per cent reduction in traffic accidents, but in 1938 the public accepted the challenge. Its cooperation with the safety campaigns of newspapers, the traffic education programs in schools, and better use of road directional signs, all combined to stage, and win, this momentous attack against recklessness. Yet that was only one of motordom's major accomplishments. Its contribution in taxes gave America one billion dollars' worth of new and improved roads, with motor transport units contributing forty per cent of that sum in special taxes. The all-year flow of vacaton travel poured an estimated four and one-half billion recreational dollars into business channels the country over. All these dividends in lives saved, roads built, and business stimulated, impel us to wish motordom even happier returns from the New Year! ANAHEIM GAZETTE TIRED OF IT GOVERNMENT BUREAUS HEY! I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! In those days we recall, no one took a more prominent part than did Father Junipero Serra, who on July 16, 1769, founded the Mission San Diego de Alcala on this very knoll, where it stood but a short time before strewing the hillside in ruins. November 4, 1775, a band of Indians, about 100 strong went on the warpath—burned the mission and clubbed to death the priest in charge when he ran into the church yard praying "Love God, my children." Loma his eyes slowly follow the eastern horizon south toward Mexico from Old Town, he notices those low rolling hills are studded with modern new homes of Spanish design. From the bay shore, back brought the metropolitan district, modern hotels, commercial and civic buildings proudly tower into the blue of the sky. Proud they may be—for in the bay or front yard of San Diego, floats America's mighty fleet, in one of her outstanding navy bases. Remember, folks, this view is from Point Loma, in Fort Rosecrans, which comprises the entire outward end of the point. It is a coast artillery fort for the protection of San Diego bay. Open for visitors from 9:00 to 5:00 daily. (No cameras). May be reached by auto bus "L" to end of line, or by Gray line tours.

To the west your view into the blue-green of the life, while low rolling hills mark the horizon from Old Mexcan north back of San Diego to mission valley—at night a flood lights in many hues glitter ross the bay and reflect in it both, tepid waters. It is here that you command one of the most beautiful views in the world. After sweeping this panorama many times, your eyes utilimately up over the rugged cliff to BalPoint, which jetties out umb-like toward North Island. A recall Juan Rodriguez Cabo was the first white man to die here, September 28th, 1542, and that he named the site "San guel," by which it was known 60 years, or until Don Sebasn Vascaino came along and enged it to "San Diego" in honof San Diego de Alcala, a Spansaint. Sitting here in the semi-tropibreeze you secretly admire the only founders of our country for our untiring effort and courage, while your eyes unnoticingly float over the U. S. quarantine station at beyond Ballast Point, on the side of Point Loma. Presentthey become fixed on the red roof of a rambling Mission building that sets far back from the bay on a little knoll. Suddenly you realize this building is the Serra museum, on essidio hill in Old Town San iego, the seat of activity in the early days. Today as one stands on Point The present church, built in 1784, was restored and rededicated by the apostolic delegate on September 12, 1931. It is known as the Mother Church of the Franciscan Missions, that line "El Camino Real." A tall palm planted by Father Serra in the old presidio marks the beginning of that long trail to the north. In fact it was around this old presidio, that all early Spanish gaiety was held. Here today you find many of the old places of adobe. La Casa de Macliada, La Casa de Bandini, La Casa de Stewart, the site of the cobblestone jail, San Diego's first bastile—where the first prisoner dug his way to freedom between two suns, and the famed Ramona's Marriage Place, with many other interesting old adobes. You recall California had its Indian massacres, wars and rumors of wars, under the flags of Old Spain and Mexico, and that the war between the United States and Mexico, in 1846 brought Commander Samuel Dupont, U. S. N., with Major John Fremont and his battalion of 166 men, including the Indian Scout Kit Carson to San Diego, and that Old Glory was immediately unfurled over the plaza in Old Town. This change of rule pleased many of the old Spanish families—such prominent citizens as Juan Bandini and Miguel de Pedrorena aided Fremont on that famed trip to Los Angeles. Bandini's daughter made the first American flag to be flown over California's first city; "San Diego."
