KUCHEL Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. DECORATION DAY Decoration Day this year is marked with new solemnity, new thoughtfulness. We will place flowers on graves of our World War dead—while the very earth of foreign battlefields upon which they died trembles under the trend of marching men and rolling tanks, as fearful peoples marshal their strength and war clouds gather. The men who fell at Bunker Hill and Yorktown gave us liberty—and we have preserved it. The men who fell at Gettysburg and Antietam cemented the Union with their blood—and America has kept faith with them. But the World War dead! Can we keep faith with them? They died to end all wars. It would be well if Memorial Day were observed in all the world. If all men of all nations, those who lead and those who follow, would unite on that one day to visit the sepulchres of their soldier dead, the voiceless rebuke from those graves might silence the cry for another mad orgy of war. It is a solemn obligation upon the living of the entire universe that the warrior dead shall not have died in vain. TAXES “LEFT” AND “RIGHT” Recently Fortune invited a group of 15 well-known men to conduct a “round table” discussion on the subject of recovery and taxation. One of the men, according to Fortune, was a “conservative” mid-western manufacturer; another effort to block approval of the biggest farm bill in U.S. history. So also was Utah's Senator King, who had embodied his hope of economy in a proposal for an automatic cut of 10% in all appropriations made by this session of congress. The rest of the senate's economy bloc had either yielded too, or had recast themselves as members of the senate's farm blog. When the bill came to a vote, only 14 senators mustered courage to vote "No". Thus did the senate raise the house appropriation of $835,000,-000. On top of $500,000,000 which Secretary Wallace had asked for benefit payments and crop loans to farmers who restrict their acreage, the senate gave him $225,000,-000 for parity payments (to recompense farmers for the difference between present prices and the higher prices of "normal" years), and $203,000,000 (instead of $90,000,000 asked) to subsidize the export of crop surpluses. To the house, which two months ago resisted the temptation to make such additions to the farm oill, the senate's action seemed a poor reward for virtue. When the oill goes to conference the house is now hardly likely to insist on cutting it down to its original dimensions. Meanwhile came the house's next chance to spend—on the non-military section of the war department supply bill. For generations, rivers and harbors appropriations have been prize political pork. The house last week added $50,000,000 for flood control and navigation improvements to a $225,000,000 measure reported by the appropriations committee, excluding itself on the ground that this money would be deducted from the next relief bill. So came to an end four months of "economy," in which congress TAXES "LEFT" AND "RIGHT" Recently Fortune invited a group of 15 well-known men to conduct a "round table" discussion on the subject of recovery and taxation. One of the men, according to Fortune, was a "conservative" mid-western manufacturer; another was a "progressive" New England manufacturer; one opposed the New Deal and another supported it; several were tax experts, two were Socialists, and one was a labor leader. Fortune asked these men to get together, present their varying philosophies, argue points of difference, and see if they couldn't arrive at an "area of agreement" on taxation. The men did that. And some of their conclusions, in which all joined, are worthy of the widest possible public knowledge. They agreed that corporation taxes should be reformed to eliminate double taxation of dividends, the capital stock tax, and the excess profits tax. They urged the abolition of tax-exempt securities. They agreed that an additional $700,-000,000 annually should be raised by lowering exemptions and rates on middle income brackets. And they said a National Tax Commission should be established to formulate a cohesive, long-range tax policy, and eliminate present uncertainty and complexity. Here is a definite program—and a program approved by thinking men ranging in point of view from "left" to "right." It is a program that, if immediately enacted, would go far toward removing industry's present well justified fears of tax confiscation of profits, and would stimulate new industrial expansion, new investment, and create new opportunities and employment. The fact that it represents the adjusted viewpoints of men of such extremely varying philosophies makes it all the more impressive. It could well be made the basis for a program of constructive tax revision by Congress and the states. ROAD TO SECURITY At this very moment, many thousands of people of advancing years are living in peace and plenty. No longer engaged in commercial activity, they are free to travel, to play, to live as they wish. These people, for the most part, were never rich. They never earned big salaris, or headed great companies. They were ordinary workers and professional people. Then how did they attain their enviable security? They did it by systematic savings and investment, through agencies such as life insurance. They put aside dollars regularly, in small quantities, during their productive years, against the non-productive years ahead. They are examples of the ultimate happiness that stems from planned thrift. NEW GOVERNOR—WASHINGTON President Roosevelt offhandedly announced last week that the navy's highest officer, Chief of Operations William D. Leahy, who is to retire soon, will replace Governor Blanton Winship of Puerto Rico. For more than a year, 69-year-old Governor Winship has talked of quitting to live on his major general's pension. Recently he has tiffed with his superior, Secretary Harold Ickes. Said Winship last week to the 1,700,000 Puerto Ricans whom he has ruled for five years: "You are all damned lucky to get Admiral Leahy." A booming new aspect of national defense prompted Mr did it by systematic savings and investment, through agencies such as life insurance. They put aside dollars regularly, in small quantities, during their productive years, against the non-productive years ahead. They are examples of the ultimate happiness that stems from planned thrift. The MARCH OF TIME BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newspaper ECONOMY'S END— WASHINGTON—Old Chairman Carter Glass of the senate appropriations committee, who remembers when the whole U.S. government ran itself on a billion dollars a year, last week rose to his feet in horror. Before the senate was a bill appropriating $1,218,000,000 to run the department of agriculture in fiscal 1940. He earnestly asked unanimous consent to reconsider the $383,000,000 which the senate had added to the house version of the bill. But Glass was defeated in his TURKEYS Raised On Fedco make quicker prime birds — costs less — reduces loss — finer flavored meat — no feed to feed. 10 to 20% more weight on the same amount of feed fed over a 6 month period—Start open or two of poults on a comparative feed test against any socalled special turkey mash.

ACME CLEANERS AND DYERS 920 N-LOS ANGELES ST-ANAHEIM-TEL-2405 School Districts May be Assisted Reduced Payments on Loans Following Earthquake Goal of Efforts Governor Culbert L. Olson moved this week to assist 15 southern California school districts in working out easier payments on loans made them by the Reconstruction Finance corporation following the earthquake of 1933. The governor's action followed passage by the senate and assembly of a resolution calling for a reduction in the 4/4/10 per cent interest rate on these loans. The money had been extended for earthquake damage repair. Governor Olson made the request to RFC Chairman Jesse Jones. The RFC originally loaned the money to the state. The state then loaned this money to the 15 school districts under contracts. Since that time a new federal lending agency, the Disaster Loan corporation, has been established. The legislature's resolution, passed on through the governor, asked that the interest rate be cut to not over 3 per cent, which is the rate now being used in making loans by the Disaster Loan corporation; Assemblymen Ralph Dills, Maurice Atkinson, Jack B. Tenney, all of Los Angeles county, and Assemblymen Clyde A. Watson and Thomas H. Kuchel, of Orange county, were authors of the resolution. Among the 15 school districts to be benefitted, if Chairman Jones acts favorably, are: Buena Park elementary school district, Costa Mesa elementary school district, Garden Grove un- By WARREN BAYLEY BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK, UTAH—The distance from Zion Park to Bryce Canyon is 89 miles, most of which is over a highway built especially for tourists who wish to see both places without having to go a long round-about route. To build the section of this highway that raises you out-of Zion Canyon required real engineering skill as the walls of the canyon are almost perpendicular. At one place it was necessary to tunnel through solid rock for more than a mile. This tunnel is so close to the sheer face of the cliff that, about every 200 yards, openings have been made through the thin wall of rock that separates the tunnel from the cliff edge. Through these "windows" you get another quick glimpse of the canyon as you pass in your car. Each view is from a different angle and so beautiful that you firmly resolve to come again. At the entrance to Bryce Canyon you are "checked in," as is the custom in all national parks. No fee is charged however, as the $1.00 fee paid at Zion entitles you to visit both places. Here, a casual conversation with the attendant gleans the information that there were 105,000 visitors to the park last season. This number is 45,000 less than the number of visitors to Zion during the same coast would have to go out their way a considerable distance to see it. Although known by the name Bryce Canyon but a long line of intricately eroded "breaks" where the plateau, at an elevation of 8000-9000 feet above sea level, break off into the valley 1000 to 300 feet below. These breaks, known as the Pink Cliffs, are eroded in a series of bowl-shaped amphitheaters, of which there are at least 14 within the park boundaries. The largest of the amphitheaters is know as Bryce Canyon, in honor of Ebenezer Bryce, a pioneer Mormon cattle man who settled near its mouth in 1875. The Paiute Indians knew it by several names, the two most descriptive being, "anka-timpa wawitz-pokitch," meaning "mara-red rocks in a hole," and "anka-was-awits," meaning "r-repainted faces." In the breaking dawn of the plateau the softer rock erodes first leaving spires of harder materials standing several hundred feet in height. These contain every shape and coloring imagable. Several are formed into a most perfect pieces of white stone. Many resemble castles built of various colored rocks. One been named "Queen Victoria" or the throne." The likeness amazing. BY THE DISASTER LOAN CORPORATION: Assemblymen Ralph Dills, Maurice Atkinson, Jack B. Tenney, all of Los Angeles county, and Assemblymen Clyde A. Watson and Thomas H. Kuchel, of Orange county, were authors of the resolution. Among the 15 school districts to be benefitted, if Chairman Jones acts favorably, are: Buena Park elementary school district, Costa Mesa elementary school district, Garden Grove union high school district, Newport Beach school district, Huntington Beach elementary school district, Seal Beach elementary school district and Westminster elementary school district.
