Kuchel Opposed to Gas Tax Increase Definite opposition to any increase in the state gasoline tax has been expressed by Assemblyman Kuchel said, in part, "It is high time that thought be given to reducing the cost and expenditure of state government. And in the related field of state taxation, it is no time to talk about increasing the gas tax, even under the guise of a 'temporary' increase. "The federal government told us, many years ago, that the federal gasoline tax of one cent was to be 'temporary,' but we still have it. I am inclined to think that we have sufficient gasoline taxation."

That operation of the prorate pools had resulted in a lower unit price for fruit and far less total return. "Food Wasted" 4. That the fundamental policy of allowing food to go to waste while people are starving is un-American. By WARREN BAYLEY RHYOLITE, Nevada — In as much as there are only nine inhabitants living in this "Ghost City" and that real estate is a drug on the market, I certainly won't be accused of being in cahoots with the chamber of commerce in giving the town a boost. Anyway there isn't any chamber of commerce that I know of and I can think of no one who would care to take up a permanent residence in this ghostliest of all ghost cities. Located only a few miles from the rim of Death Valley, you will probably see it when you visit the "valley" as it is considered one of the most entertaining side trips. No doubt but that a considerable portion of its popularity is caused by the fact that the depot has been renovated and turned into a Casino, Nevada style, where as you know the sky is the limit. Naturally there are many conflicting stories about a place that had the spectacular growth that Rhyolite enjoyed. I spent a considerable amount of time checking them for facts and I've come to the conclusion that "she" must have been a "humdinger" while "she" lasted. It all began back in 1904 when two partners made a strike. The news spread like wildfire and in a few days there were several There are two exceptions, casino and the "Bottle House." The latter was built of empty bottles during the heyday of city. It has been kept in conditions as a tourist attraction. I'm sure you will enjoy a trip to Rhyolite. Especially stop at the Casino, which is located by N. C. Westmoreland. Is the mayor, city council, judge and undertaker. He also owns cemetery, where a grave sits yours for the asking.

Naturally there are many conflicting stories about a place that had the spectacular growth that Rhyolite enjoyed. I spent a considerable amount of time checking them for facts and I've come to the conclusion that "she" must have been a "humdinger" while "she" lasted. It all began back in 1904 when two partners made a strike. The news spread like wildfire and in a few days there were several hundred people staking out claims for miles around. In a short period of time temporary structures sprang up and as additional strikes were made the population increased by leaps and bounds, until 12,000 people were living in an earthly "hell." Money flowed like water and vice reigned supreme. I was told that 65 saloons were operating at one time. Naturally the eyes of the nation were focused upon this "Utopia" where gold could be found in the grass roots. Mining companies were formed by the score and stock was sold by the millions. All went well until the panic of 1908-07 which stopped the flow of money from stock sales and suddenly the people realized that the mines had either petered out or were being operated at a loss. The exodus was on. People left as they had come. Buildings were torn down or moved away until today all that remains are skeletons without roofs or windows.

Gasoline Tax Boost Opposition Appears Giving motorists a chance to register their opposition to the proposed one-cent gasoline tax increase, now before the state legislature, petitions were placed in circulation today at the Anaheim office of the Automobile Club of Southern California, according to C. R. Brandon, manager. When fully signed with motorists' names, the petitions will be used in resistance to the measures proposing the gas tax boost.
