Editors and Publishers Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. J. FRED SIDEBOTTOM It is difficult to put into words the thoughts which come into the minds of his friends when one is taken from us by fate; and in the passing of J. Fred Sidebottom, the family he leaves, his many, many friends, and Orange county, in general mourn the loss of a fine gentleman, a sincere friend, and a trusted public official. In the many years that Fred Sidebottom made his home here, all who knew him saw in him a man who wanted to do his part whatever it be, and do it well. His church, his local American Legion post, the people who worked under him, and . . . above all . . . his own family, knew that he wanted to do well whatever was given to him to accomplish. Rev. Stanley Frederick George expressed this thought when he stated that Sidebottom was a builder in all that he did. His unselfish devotion to the public good, his ever helpful part in advancing the city's interest, and his genuine friendliness will ever be remembered by this city and county. All who knew Fred Sidebottom could call him friend; these thoughts bring solace to all who were close to him. THIRD TERM—FOURTH TERM One of the interesting little things of the presidential campaign is the new set of words to "God Bless America," thought up by an enterprising Roosevelt supporter. The other day, in Hyde Park, when candidate Roosevelt was making a “non-political” speech, the new version of the song was rendered. Here are the words: THIRD TERM—FOURTH TERM One of the interesting little things of the presidential campaign is the new set of words to "God Bless America." thought up by an enterprising Roosevelt supporter. The other day, in Hyde Park, when candidate Roosevelt was making a "non-political" speech, the new version of the song was rendered. Here are the words: God Bless Our President, Our native son Stand beside him, and guide him, And his fight for the right will be won; For a third term, Or a fourth term. Put your shoulder to the wheel; God Bless Our President, That's how we feel. The part of the new version which we don't like is that "or a fourth term" phrase. It was United States Senator Vandenberg of Michigan who suggested, as an argument against any third term by any president, the phrase "if a third term, why not a fourth... or a fifth?" Apparently there are some people in this country who see no point in Vandenberg's statement. They feel that, if F.D.R. were to be re-elected in 1940, a fourth term in 1944 would be just around the corner. It is just as true today, as it was in the days of Thomas Jefferson, presidential terms must be limited to eight years. Once that rule is violated, the presidency might easily become one for life. CHRISTMAS SEAL CAMPAIGN FOR CURRENT YEAR OPENED THURSDAY The 1940 Christmas Seal campaign of southern California was officially opened last Thursday by an all-day conference conducted by Irene Carlson, field representative for the California Tuberculosis association, and James G. Stone, executive secretary of the Los Angeles Tuberculosis and Health association. The meeting was held at Staar's Orange Gardens in Anaheim. Seventeen Orange county people were hosts to 10 out-of-county visitors from Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pasadena, Riverside and San Bernardino. Miss Carlson, in opening the conference, said "The Christmas Seal this year was designed by a California artist, Felix Martinez of Los Angeles. The colors are very attractive. A brunette and red-headed boy and a blond-headed girl are pictured on a yellow background. The words, 'Christmas Greetings, 1940' and the copyrighted emblem of the Tuberculosis association—the red double-barred cross—are on sessions during the day were Mescames R. W. Balch and H. G. Ames of Anaheim; Mrs. A. C. Rodabaugh, Buena Park; Rev. Alphonso Dominguez, Fullerton; Mrs. Mary Foster and Miss Ione Weber, Laguna Beach; Miss Mabel Wing and Mrs. Oliver Wickersheim, Orange; Mrs. Ernest Crozer Phillips, A. J. Crutckshank, Mrs. James M.

Sidebottom Funeral Rites Held Monday (Continued from Page 1) day and appointed Ruby Cameron McFarland to succeed Mr. Sidebottom. Mrs. McFarland has been employed in the office since 1915 and has recently been chief deputy. The office was filled immediately to permit it to resume business. Was Clive Leader Next January, when the state legislature convenes for its session, the state administration will, without doubt, demand enactment of new taxes, or increases in the rates of existing taxes. At first glance, that may seem like a rash prediction, but actually it is almost a certainty. Governor Olson, during special sessions of the legislative earlier this year, demanded $000,000 in new taxes. He turned down, but resented a turn down bitterly, as evident by his repeated statements that the legislature did not accept good faith in denying him tax sources. Anticipating a request for revenues and new taxes at start of the New Year, perhaps would be well to look over records for the past fiscal year the last period on which accumulated totals are available. During the last fiscal year, state treasury collected in tax funds $173,467,130. That was $6,843,725 more than the year previous. Yet despite this considerable increase in income, California day is $30,975,882 worse off than it was 12 months ago. The general fund deficit reached an all-time high of $110,558, and the debt is growing by leaps and bounds! California farmers, who among the state's heaviest payers have reason to study their record. For despite a heavy crease in state tax collections, state deficit increased even sharply. Perhaps you say, it is due relief to the aged, or the needy an increase in elementary school costs, but such is not the case these costs were less than in previous year. Sidebottom Funeral Rites Held Monday (Continued from Page 1) day and appointed Ruby Cameron McFarland to succeed Mr. Sidebottom. Mrs. McFarland has been employed in the office since 1915 and has recently been chief deputy. The office was filled immediately to permit it to resume business. Was Civic Leader Mr. Sidebottom was a veteran of the world war. He served two terms as commander of the Anaheim post of American Legion and one term as commander of the Legion's county council. He also held memberships in the Anaheim Elks lodge, the Masonic lodge of St. Clairsville, Ohio, and the Scottish Rites at Columbus, Ohio. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Anaheim. Pallbearers for the funeral services Monday were Ray Van Wagoner, Raymond E. Smith, Charles E. Griffith, Thomas E. Taylor, Harry Hathaway and Dr. Glen Curtis of Brea. Mr. Sidebottom is survived by his widow, Mrs. Irma Sidebottom; his mother, Mrs. Eliza Sidebottom, and a brother, Ross A. Sidebottom, all of Anaheim. An organization that saves people who want "To End It All." The "Save-A-Live League" has talked more than 33,000 persons out of suicide since 1906. Read how this group works to prevent self-destruction, as told in The American Weekly, the magazine distributed with next week's Los Angeles Examiner. There are approximately 8,000,000 bicycles now in use in the United States, 1,000,000 of them having been purchased last year. California farmers, who among the state's heaviest taxpayers have reason to study the record. For despite a heavy increase in state tax collections, the state deficit increased even sharply. Perhaps you say, it is due relief to the aged, or the needy an increase in elementary school costs, but such is not the case these costs were less than in previous year. The increases, during the last months, have been in what must be termed the normal functions of government. And this, despite fact that California, with nation at large, has faced that must pay heavy increases in federal taxes to defray the cost of national defense program. There is no reason for beat about the bush. The plain facts are that bureaucracy has been thriving in California at the same time that the individual citizen whether farmer or city worker has been having a hard time make ends meet. The plain facts are that payrolls have been panded in state service, with regard to the ability of the taxpayer to pay for new governmental frills and increased governmental services. It is high time that the speakers of state funds changed their tune. The state collected nearly seven millions of dollars more last year than it collected the year before. Yet California winds up deeper the red than ever before. There is only one common-sector way to strike a balance between income and outgo, under the circumstances. And that is to cut expenses; to cut budgets. This may be old-fashioned, but certainly it is the only way out...
