FIGHT FOR AMERICANISM The time has come when the people of California and the Nation must awaken to the influences that are attempting to undermine the stability of our republican form of government. That statement sounds like one of the usual Red baiting scare lines so often read. The writer not often worries about these situations for we have had similar ones in the past and will in all probability have them again in the future. But there is something that is happening in California that should arouse the red blood of every real Californian, and American in no uncertain fashion. The developments of the testimony at the relief hearing in Sacramento clearly prove that there are forces at work that are accomplishing results. Forces feel that the overthrow of the republican form of government must be accomplished through any means. In the place of our present republican form of government these pleasant people want the Communist form of so called democracy. These people brand the Associated Farmers as the tools of the monied interests, and hold them up as horried examples of Farmers and wealthy men who would hold the people in peonage. These people believe that there must be social justice of the sort sponsored by the Communists, no other. They believe that every newspaper is controlled and kept. There is In the place of our present republican form of government these pleasant people want the Communist form of so called democracy. These people brand the Associated Farmers as the tools of the monied interests, and hold them up as horried examples of Farmers and wealthy men who would hold the people in peonage. These people believe that there must be social justice of the sort sponsored by the Communists, no other. They believe that every newspaper is controlled and kept. There is according to them no honesty in anyone but themselves. Every one that does not agree with them is a reactionary who desires to keep fast the yoke of human bondage. There is nothing right, honest, clean, or decent but their own miserable philosophy. It is about time that the people of the United States and California, as individuals, awaken to what is going on around them. There can be no return to prosperity, or, for that matter, to fairly good times, until the people, as individuals, decide that this thing has gone far enough, and do something about it. The question of course is what is to be done about these things. The place to start is in the home, a little time spent teaching your family what this government of ours stands for and what the constitution of the United States means by way of Civil rights will go a long way in solving this problem. A real American home in which the family knows the value of being an American citizen is the family from which comes the best citizens. Examine the School and see what is being taught in the schools and require of your school boards that they include in their curricula a course in Americanism. It wouldn't hurt to cut out some of the foolishness taught, for a few hours of concentrated work in the teachings of real Americanism. CALIFORNIA'S "LOBBYIST" Several months ago, the counties of Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino had forcibly brought to their attention the fact that the Department of the Interior and its chief, Mr. Harold Ickes, frowned on the use by counties of paid lobbyists to further W. P. A. allocations. That position was taken mainly because it was felt that public bodies need no representatives, since they already have public agents ready to advance—indeed, elected to advance—their cause. Representatives in congress at $10,000 per year ought to be able pretty accurately to determine what is, and what is not, needed for their respective districts. The matter was carried so far that Mr. Ickes saw to it that several allocations of funds for San Bernardino county were revoked, after he found that that county had sent paid lobbyists to Washington to aid in obtaining grants. It seems to us that the secretary of interior was right. It may be that occasionally, upon particular legislative proposals, the representative of a public body performs a service in Washington; as witness, for example, the work of Atty-Gen. Earl Warren is arguing before a United States Senate committee against the passing of the Nye tidelands resolution seeking to have our state tidelands declared to be federal property. Apparently the present-state administration disagrees that several allocations of funds for San Bernardino county were revoked, after he found that that county had sent paid lobbyists to Washington to aid in obtaining grants.

Earl Warren is arguing before a United States Senate committee against the passing of the Nye tidelands resolution seeking to have our state tidelands declared to be federal property. Apparently, the present state administration disagrees with the feelings of Mr. Ickes in that regard. Mr. John Dockweiler, who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor last August, has been retained by Governor Olson as the state's lobbyist in Washington. Mr. Dockweiler is to be paid $12,000 per year from the state treasury for his services. Our new lobbyist will represent California in questions concerning P.W.A. and federal financing, the Central Valley project, as well as the tidelands matter. Mr. Dockweiler is California's first paid lobbyist. We now have 20 Congressmen at $10,000 per year for each one, and two United States Senators at $10,000 per year for each; and one lobbyist at $12,000 per year. Is it impertinent to ask why this additional paid representative? With all the reasons for economy in state government; with an ever increasing necessity to balance the budget of California, the reason of wastefulness is added to that of needlessness for the newly created position. They Say ... "Great business enterprises are more often the products of integration or combination resulting from the need of great tasks to be done, of great obstacles to be overcome, and last, but by no means least, of serious periods of depression that must be weathered." James H. R. Cromwell. "Be a good forgetter. Life is too short to remember that which prevents one from doing his best. The successful man forgets. He knows the past is irrevocable. He lets the dead past bury its dead. He is running a race. He cannot afford to look behind. His eye is on the winning post. Be a good forgetter. Business dictates it, and success demands it." Frank's Review. "There have been a few moments when I have known complete satisfaction, but only a few. I have rarely been free from the disturbing realization that my playing might have been better." Ignace Jan Paderewski. If you like to go into complex figures and puzzle your way with arithmetic, the whole mass of figuring out taxes gives plenty of opportunity. You get enough dope at the office the tax collector or the auditor to keep your head sitting for quite a spell. In the tax collector's there is a lot of figuring in segregating of taxes collected Each day the amounts paid is divided up and apportioned to various funds. This is no small trick, for Orange county there are 369 different combinations of tax applying to different districts combinations of districts. Dent sets of rates apply in district, and a tax payment on property in any district he be divided up according to various levies in that district. It is up to the tax collector see that a tax payment made certain district is apportioning the proper funds for which he levied. Fortunately he does have to work out each sept payment, but can bunch together all the payments for any one district in which the same levies apply. Otherwise, in many instances EMPTY AGAIN! THE MARCH OF TIME Prepared by the Editors of TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine (Continued from Page 1) Germany at last week's end—but this was small change. Hungary's Regent Nicholas Horthy is scheduled to meet Fuhrer Hitler soon to discuss "common problems," and speculators wondered last week whether he might not find it expedient to deliver his country into the trust of Hitler, just as Czecho-Slovakia's President Emil Hacha did. That Hitler's eastern march had already impressed the Balkans was apparent from the quick answer he got from Rumania on his proposal to trade manufactured goods for Romanian oil and wheat. Instead of taking "the consequences" that would result from flat refusal, Rumania agreed to give Germany temporarily a greater share of her trade but steadfastly fused to surrender any rights. Meanwhile, just of trouble, King Carol of some 500,000 soldiers to mania's western frontiers. When the Germans succeed in back the Saar, remilitarize Rhine, took Austria and detenland, they always took to make out some sort of for themselves. But the breaking lie-telling Germanator last week threw an pretense of being anything conquerer. Instead of think up further fancy exaggeration, in Berlin it was ply stated that "the eternity terdayers who always limp events (are) therefore constantly surprised by That attitude was the sign Scratches by Penn (Maitland Pennington Features) This week end just past the members of the senate and assembly investigating the charges made by members of the staff of the SRA office of Kern county developed some startling and interesting facts. Among those testifying were, the director of the Kern county SRA, Solomon H. Martin; his superior officer, Rosaling Timmins, field representative of the SRA for several counties; and Mrs. Lorette Adams, an officer of the Kern County Workers alliance. These names you have probably never heard before. If you have it has been only in the past few weeks since these charges were first made regarding the SRA. the state law only required year's residence. Martin immediately upsumption of the work in the county office lowered the requirements to one year immediately adding to the rolls "between four and hundred." Through questioning, Maitted that preference were members of the Workers in the matter of adjusting complaints, stating that complaints represented Workers alliance were held by the director while complaining non-members of the Workliance were heard by subordinates. By far the most importance of the day was Mrs. Adams, an officer of the County Workers alliance, ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County: Huntington Beach News Newport Beach News Westminster Gazette Buena Park News Anahalm Gazette Coastline Dispatch Brea Progress Seal Beach Poet RACKET CHANCES IN ORANGE COUNTY You should be approached by the fellow who claimed to get a refund of some taxes you already paid, provided you him half, wave the fellow on away—for he's just a racketeer, but don't worry about it too much. Unless you are paying on a good many thousand years worth of property he won't. But you, for the possible result, you could get is too small sim to monkey with. All is a very complicated business and hard to put into print understandable fashion, all due to the manner in which tax levies made and computed in Calicia: But when a tax-levying aid, such as your school trusdecide on the amount of pay to be raised by taxes, this divided by the total amount exact valuation in the district ermines the rate of levy. Of course, this figure seldom comes even cents. It probably will to six decimal places or more. We use a rate set in small fracctions of a cent, and figure out the total amount of tax each propwould mean an enormous amount of arithmetic. (It takes a of it as it is:) So the next even above the exact rate figure is this means that each piece property pays a trifle more than exact share of the total tax but in few cases will it run than a few cents. Los Angeles county recently sharper looking for an easy to make a living took advanof this fact and applied it to the tax bills which run into table figures. It turned out to fairish racket, but there is likelihood of their moving Orange county. The fact is that even in such as there might be a refund fully enforced, it would result in final saving to the taxpayer. Levy would be just that much after the following year to make the difference. he would have to figure appotionsments of small fractions of a cent. For instance, there is a twocent levy on all property for the county harbor. If a taxpayer hands the collector a check for $17.34 as taxes on a certain property, a certain fraction of that sum is apportioned to the harbor fund. If the total of the levies in that particular district is—say, $4.14, the 2/414ths of $17.34 is set aside for the harbor fund. All of which makes very dry reading, but it goes to show in a small way how messy the whole business of tax levying, tax figuring, tax collecting and tax apportioning really is, and the enormous amount of arithmetic used up in attend to it all. NOTES Activities of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce have formed a new topic for discussion around the county seat. And you can get an argument about it almost anywhere. Rumor is that a new storm is brewing in one of the depart-ments, which has previously furnished a good deal of explosive material. A new bust is scheduled which may turn things upside down. It is said that SOS broadcasts for missing relatives of sick persons are successful in 54 per cent of the cases. Among those testifying were, the director of the Kern county SRA, Solomon H. Martin; his superior officer, Rosaling Timmins, field representative of the SRA for several counties; and Mrs. Lorette Adams, an officer of the Kern County Workers Alliance. These names you have probably never heard before. If you have it has been only in the past few weeks since these charges were first made regarding the SRA. During this hearing facts were brought forth under oath that have in the past only been matters of conjecture and assumption. Particularly interesting was the testimony of Rosaling Timmins who declared, "There have been discussions of a change of program and policy in the SRA with which I am in complete accord." Quesioned along this line Miss Timmins was asked her philosophy regarding the duties of the SRA, and was also questioned in regard to her philosophy of government, to which she replied, "My zeal for my work in behalf of the tenants of the democratic party will indicate my philosophy." Mrs. Timmins also made this statement, "I believe that social workers have an obligation to take a great deal of interest in the elections." She also indicated her belief that politics and relief should go hand in hand. Bitter denunciation of the policies of the previous administrator was made, with the statement, "I would not have worked for the former Director Harold Pomeroy." Pomeroy is now the executive secretary of the Associated Farmers. Director Martin of the Kern county SRA denounced the charges and held that the previous administrator had been lax in his obligations to relief clients. Pointing out that in Kern county the relief administrator had held to a three-year residential requirement while Mrs. Adams read into ord several letters address members of the Workers' from Mitchell Saadie, see Dewey Anderson, relief regarding the appointment new Kern county direct which Saadie said. I am sure the new director will meet your approval. Following Mrs. Adams ment Kepple again asked Adams, are you a register munist?", to which she re-AM A REGISTERED COIST." FLAKY!

Anaheim, Calif., March 30, 1939 HER trade but steadfastly released to surrender any political rights. Meanwhile, just in case trouble, King Carol ordered some 500,000 soldiers to man Rumania's western frontiers. When the Germans successively on back the Saar, remilitarized the Rhine, took Austria and Suetenland, they always took pains to make out some sort of a case for themselves. But the treatybreaking, lie-telling German dictator last week threw away all pretense of being anything but a conqueror. Instead of trying to think up further fancy excuses for aggression, in Berlin it was simply stated that "the eternal yes-derdayers who always limp behind events (are) therefore constantly surprised by them." That attitude was the signal for a state law only required a one-year residence. Martin immediately upon assumption of the work in the Kern county office lowered the residence requirements to one year thereby immediately adding to the relief bills "between four and five hundred." Through questioning, Martin admitted that preference were shown members of the Workers alliance in the matter of adjustment of complaints, stating that complaints represented by the workers alliance were heard by the director while complaints of non-members of the Workers alliance were heard by subordinates. By far the most important witness of the day was Mrs. Lorette Adams, an officer of the Kern county Workers alliance, and a belated international "Stop Hitler" drive. The French, British, Soviet and U.S. press vied with each other in denouncing Hitler. British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain officially and publicly buried his appease-the-dictators policy and announced that henceforth what happened in southeastern Europe was decidedly Britain's business. One group of British politicians was said to feel that Dictator Hitler could not be stopped this side of Turkey, that Poland, Rumania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia and Greece must inevitably be his if he wanted them. In France, Premier Daladier went before parliament and obtained dictatorial powers to permit him to act secretly and promptly to forestall any further nazi or fascist moves. He was expected to put France on a virtual wartime footing, to call up extra men to the colors, to speed armies production. In Warsaw, anti-nazi students held demonstrations and the Polish government—which has long been on the fence between warring dictatorships and democracies—faced the necessity of choosing between them. Napoleon, the last man to go conquering through Europe, lasted 15 years. Adolf Hitler has already lasted six. Now that he has taken to outright conquest, historians wonder how many more good years he has coming to him.
