KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. THE CYCLONE CELLAR A breathing spell for tax weary citizens is promised in big display ads seen in national publications these days. They offer a haven with no sales tax, no inheritance tax, no nuisance taxes, no corporate income tax—and unrivaled in its appeal; no personal income tax. The Promised Land of little or no taxation is the State of Nevada. All a Californian needs to do, according to the come-hither ads, is cross the border, leaving his oppressive tax burdens behind. Reports submitted at the Senate Revenue and Taxation hearings at Sacramento show that California with substantial means are doing just that! "At one time California attracted people of large means who brought their wealth here with them and poured it into every channel of business and industry," reported C. A. Rogers, Santa Barbara supervisor. "But that situation has been exactly reversed." Supporting the statement, Rogers submitted records of hundreds of removals to Nevada. According to further facts presented at the hearings, not only are disproportionately high taxes driving large individual fortunes out of the State, but tax increases on California business—even without the proposed new personal income "At one time California attracted people who brought their wealth here with them and poured it into every channel of business and industry," reported C. A. Rogers, Santa Barbara supervisor. "But that situation has been exactly reversed." Supporting the statement, Rogers submitted records of hundreds of removals to Nevada. According to further facts presented at the hearings, not only are disproportionately high taxes driving large individual fortunes out of the State, but tax increases on California business—even without the proposed new personal income tax, new severance taxes on natural resources, increased gas taxes and higher bank and corporation franchise taxes—are raising the tax load on California industry far above that of other States and setting heavy handicaps on California competition with out-of-state business. Nevada's new advertising campaign refers to that State as the "Cyclone Cellar of the Tax Weary". Significantly enough, it is launched at a time when California is confronted with hundreds of plans for new levies to meet a record breaking budget of over half a billion dollars. Most of us would prefer to see that budget pared to fit our ability to pay, if the alternative is driving more California industries and individuals away to hide in our neighbors "cyclone cellar." SAN QUENTIN'S DIMES By millions Californians responded to the "march of dimes" campaign to finance the scientific war of extermination against infantile paralysis. The buttons adorned business suits, overalls, silk dresses,ingham prints. Most of those millions do not know that one thousand six hundred and ninety-four "march of dimes" buttons were worn on the drab uniforms of men confined irr San Quentin prison. And most of the prisoners who did not contribute had no dime to give. It is a paradoxical world, in which men we shut away because of wrongs they have done to their fellows charitably join with free men to help clear away the walls of ignorance behind which we are all prisoners together. THE GOOD EARTH This is the week of return to the good earth. All over California, in spacious gardens, in modest bungalow plots, in window boxes of city apartments, eager (even though blistered!) hands are planting seeds of beauty. Fitting it is that the week in which the anniversary of the birth of Luther Burbank falls has grown by custom into a state-wide garden planting week: Arbor Day, commemorating his birthday, has grown into a real Arbor Week. All the world was enriched by that gentle genius of plant culture. His improvements of citrus and other fruits, of cereals and nuts, gave impetus to great industries. But flower lovers recall especially the wondrous beauty of his vast gardens, where 80,000 lilies were in full bloom at one time. Thousands of Californians, turning from worry and care to relaxation with trowel and spade, will understand, as Luther Burbank understood, the wisdom of Voltaire, who, at the end of a long life of bitter controversy, sighed: "The important thing is to cultivate one's garden". MERLE E WEST PRESENTS Mr. Merlin and Monty Being in love certainly has affected Harry. Yes, Mr. Merlin, his girl brought almost as much change into his life as she took out of his pocket.

We are as near as your telephone— ACME CLEANERS and DYERS 920 N·LOS ANGELES ST·ANAHEIM·TEL·2405 By WARREN BAYLEY RCADIA, Calif.—According to a litterary, this article should be been written from Boulder, Nevada. However, while being some friends at the San Francisco Fair, someone overheard a chance remark that I had attended the races only once and found them extremely boree, owing to the long period of between races. Also that I gathered from various sources in the pastime was very unproblematic for practically everyone played them consistently. Now my San Francisco friends, to a man (also woman) love of this particular pastime and immediately the conversation going to horses, where, in spite of my efforts, it remained theance of the evening. From I gathered that once you have bitten by the race horse bug, stay bitten for all time. Also, the stories all revolve around 60 to 1 shot that came home seldom do you hear of anylosing. In any event, before evening was over, I promised attend the $100,000 Santa Anita indicap, which, I am told, is the best stake in the United States. For the benefit of you easterners and for those westerners who have not been to Santa Anita why they don’t go further and legalize all forms of gambling. Personally I see little difference in a $2 bet on a horse and $2 bet on a card or dice game. Anyway, I had a nice ride home with my friend. We talked about golf, as none of his horses ran “in the money.” This travelogue is provided weekly for The Gazette through the cooperation and sponsorship of Dr. G. A.

Government Now Pays Sales Taxes Retailers throughout California today were notified by the state board of equalization that, effective April 1. California’s retail sales tax will apply to all sales made to United States government agencies. In keeping with recent court decisions to the effect that, in legal contemplation, the tax is on the retailer although it may be passed on to the purchaser as a part of the price of the goods, the Board has adopted the following ruling: “The tax applies to receipts “How can I serve my family meals which are more appetizing, nutritious and interesting?” That is a question for which housewives all over America are constantly seeking answers. Of all the foods eaten, none is so important to the diet as bread. Here is a food which can be served in countless ways to make everyday meals deliciously different. Naturally, women want to buy the bread which will give them the most for their money. Housewives throughout southern California have shown a marked preference for Weber’s bread. They have learned through experience that by buying Weber’s bread they can be sure of getting consistently high quality and uniform texture. It is not only southern California housewives who prefer Weber’s bread—home economists as well prefer Weber's for demonstration purposes in their cooking schools. They know that bread can be no better than the ingredients used to make it—and knowing this, they prefer Weber's, relying upon it to stand up best under every test. They know, also that Weber's bread is free of harmful bleaching chemicals. The Weber Baking company, which has been established for 35 years, is well known in southern California, not only for its fine products, but also for its famous radio program, “The Lone Ranger.” This program is broadcast three nights a week over KHJ, Los Angeles; KVOE, Santa Ana, and all other stations of the Mutual-Den New York network. The Long I gathered that once you have bitten by the race horse bug, stay bitten for all time. Also, the stories all revolve around 60 to 1 shot that came home seldom do you hear of any closing. In any event, before evening was over, I promised attend the $100,000 Santa Anita indicap, which, I am told, is the best stake in the United States. For the benefit of you easterners and for those westerners who have not been to Santa Anita (any), I want to say that it is considered the most beautiful track in the world. After ing it, I can believe the story. Beautiful fountains, gorgeous flowering modern buildings, ornate fixes and a background of mouns, makes it appear like a page in a fairy-story book. It also gives one realize that the profits it be tremendous to warrant a "capital" outlay. But enough of that, it's "post" for the first race and my mind from San Francisco is telling why his pick is a cinch and I should bolster my bank-by making a small wager. I him I will wait a race or two. I understand the odds, etc., little better. So, after the race horse ran next to last) he exited the workings of the big register, "they call it a total," which stands directly in front of the grandstand. This machine is electric and registers the count of money played on each; also the odds on the various ones. As the amounts change at once a minute, it is a very natting machine to watch. It there I discovered that over 50 a minute was being played. Grand total of $1,701,760 on it races, in a little over four hours. I understand that the rate for taxes, operating expense, etc., would be over $170,-I don't know how much of its taxes, but if horse racing good thing for the state from point of revenue, I don't see New Fares are Set by Greyhound Lines Drastic reductions in fares throughout the entire state were announced this week by Pacific Greyhound Lines, when tariffs containing reductions in most places of 10 to 20%, and in some instances as high as 35%, were filed with the California railroad commission to become effective April 1. "The new fares are not experimental, but permanent reductions. They are based upon a scientifically graduated scale, in which the rate per mile in reduced as the length of the passenger's journey is increased, on the principle 'the farther you go, the lower the cost.' With the exception of a few mountainous routes, the reductions resulting from the new scale are uniformly applicable throughout the state," said W. E. Travis, president of the company.
