GOP Leaders Confer Left to right: Governor Dewey, Governor Warren of California and Governor Bricker discussing plans at the St. Louis Governors' Conference. Present State Schools Support Plenty, Says State Taxpayers’ Association The Anaheim elementary school district this year is receiving an average of $1,940 per teacher unit from the state treasury for each of the 38 teacher units in the district on which state aid for 1944-45 is based, California Taxpayers’ association stated today, continuing its analysis of Proposition No. 9 on the November ballot and the adequacy of present state support for elementary school districts. The total amount paid by the state to the district this year is $73,704. Average daily attendance the local elementary district $883 based on 50 teacher units. “Right now a study of the present school administration and organization setup is being made by the state reconstruction and re-employment commission,” the Taxpayers’ organization said. “This study was authorized by the legislature. “In acting on Proposition No. 9, California voters will have to consider whether they want to patch up the state system of school finance.” Miscellaneous impression ten on a boat.

Local property taxes are in addition to the amounts the state provides. The 1943 legislature increased state support for the elementary school districts in California 10 per cent, state support for the local elementary school district averaging $1,963 per teacher unit for 1943-44 and totalling $72,620 based on 37 teacher units. In 1932-33, the year before the constitutionally-required state support for elementary school districts was doubled, the state gave per teacher unit, a total of $44,152 "Right now a study of the present school administration and organization setup is being made by the state reconstruction and re-employment commission," the Taxpayers' organization said. "This study was authorized by the legislature. "In acting on Proposition No. 9, California voters will have to consider whether they want to patch up the state system of school finance by ballooning the already generous appropriations further or want to wait until this official study is completed."

The choice of returning by boat was my own. I could have come back by plane, thanks to the Navy, and several times I wish I had flown, during the days I sat around the hotel waiting for definite notice when the boat would sail, and from which port. Now I would not take anything for the experience. That is the way it is in war. You know that you are booked; you hope that you know which boat you are taking; you don't know for sure the sailing day, and several ports are used. This is particularly important with certain boats, for it is only now that I can say that the six of us who left England at the same time, came back on the boat on which the Prime Minister and his party went to Quebec and back. The boats have been stripped for war use. The niceties are gone and all space is utilized for troops and for cargo. We had almost 700 wounded on board. It has been a comfortable trip and a good sea. I wanted a rest before getting home. I have long since discovered that I can rest at sea level and under conditions where there are no telephones and papers and radios; or a short time anyway! The four weeks in England and France were extremely interesting, but I shall be glad to be home. It is hard for an American to accustom himself to some of the English conditions; the uneated houses, the leisurely tempo which takes days to do what we would do in a short time. Yet it was the established habits of centuries which made it impossible for Hitler to conquer England in the early days of the war. I have wondered what my last Palm Springs on Columbus Day." There are little things in the English life which amuses the English as much as they do us. Westminster Hall is the oldest building of the Houses of Parliament. Some of the carved oak beams are now being replaced, or were, at the outbreak of war, after 400 years. So the builder went back to the same oak forest from which 400 years before, the oak had come for the original beams, and got the same kind and quality. It's nothing to see a firm which has been doing business several hundred years. It reminds me of the story of the American salesman who was trying to make a connection in England for tea, to be exported to the United States. He couldn't understand the reluctance to sign a contract. Finally one of the partners said, somewhat hesitatingly, "Well, you know, we didn't have such good luck with our export trade to the States; the last time we sent over a shipment of tea, they threw it into Boston harbor." That's England. This war will leave us greater problems to work out together, and it will leave us some problems between the two nations, because of our differing views on important world situations. Let's hope the several million G.I.'s who have been there will do a good diplomatic job towards mutual understanding. Lt. Victor Payse, Jr., Returns to Duty 2nd Lt. Victor Payse, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Payse, Sr., of 908 E. South St., Anaheim, has just returned to duty after a fifteen day leave spent with his parrents of influential California newspapers have joined in the state-wide drive for an overwhelming YES vote on Proposition No. 1, to help California's World War II Veterans acquire their own homes and farms through the Veterans' Welfare Board. Excerpts from some of the many editorials follow: Los Angeles Herald-Express: The bond issue which makes loans to World War II Veterans possible will not cost the state, counties or taxpayers one penny. Citizens of California should vote in favor of Proposition No. 1, which calls for a state $30,000,000 bond issue to provide loans through the state to enable veterans of this war to purchase homes and farms on their return. Californians will support this measure, feeling that in its passage, the state is, in a small way, repaying a portion of the debt we owe those who are serving in the armed forces in this war. Bakersfield Californian: History will repeat itself if the voters approve Proposition No. 1 November 7. The veterans of the first World War made good and the state will lose nothing by lending our returning veterans of World War II funds for homes, providing comfort for them and for their families, and it will, too, make for independence. So it is a duty resting upon every elector to vote "YES" on Proposition 1. Watsonville Register: One finite constructive step we Californians can take to help establish our veterans after this war is to vote "YES" on Proposition No. 1, to assist World War II service men and women acquire their own farms and homes. Oxnard Press-Courier; Rightfully, Proposition No. 1 is the first on the ballot, and it should like men and women in these forces a chance to re-treat themselves in the postwar their communities.

I have wondered what my last two columns looked like by the time they got to the papers. I spoke in one of them of a trip two of the Congressmen made to Denver. I said that they got off at the station and looked around the town, and when they got back to take the train, the station wasn't there. A bomb had hit it. The sensor took that one out. Now that the Allies have captured Calais, I can put it in again. Dates are all out; when I wanted my secretary to make a reservation from Washington to California, I told her to "ask the plane to stop at Lt. Victor Payse, Jr., Returns to Duty 2nd Lt.

Oxnard Press-Courier; Rightfully, Proposition No. 1 is the first on the ballot, and it should likewise receive the largest support of any of the propositions listed. Every Californian who has talked about "doing something for the boys when they return" should vote "YES" on No. 1. Oakland Post-Enquirer: On the November 7 ballot there will be one proposal about which there can be NO controversy, and should have virtually a unanimous vote. YES on Proposition 1 will help prosperity and economic stability in California. Lodi Times: A "YES" vote on this measure will give California... to your future...

Post War Objective For Agriculture Told by Wickard A communication just received by Farm Adviser H. E. Wahlberg from Secretary of Agriculture Wickard outlines his recommendation for attaining post-war objectives in agriculture. Secretary Wickard's statement to the House Special Committee on Post-War Economic Policy and Planning included these recommendations in regard to Owner-Operated Family-Sized Farms: "All agricultural legislation should be so drafted, and all programs so administered, as to strengthen the family-sized farm. The best way to do this is to keep the agricultural ladder open by: "(1). Seeing that wages and working conditions of farm laborers are such as to provide exploitation and to permit enterprising individuals to move ahead. "(2). Improving tenure conditions, especially in those areas where current tenure systems are little more than a wage contract, in such a manner as to stabilize tenure arrangements, conserve the soil, and allow the development of family-size units. "(3). Maintaining farm prices and incomes at such level as will permit enterprising tenants to accumulate enough savings to enable them to purchase farms and allow older farmers to pass their farms on to younger men."

CENTER ANAHEIM POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT FACTS ...are indisputable THERE'S NO USE kidding ourselves; this election is the most serious we ever faced. It's to determine if we will continue, during this time of great danger—in a war we haven't yet won—the kind of governmental hypocrisy we have had for 11 long years. THERE'S NO USE wisecracking about the national issues, which are real, and vital, to every one of us. The American way of facing domestic problems is to face them squarely, bring out the facts, and discuss them solemnly and intelligently. It does no good to evade the issues with doubtful humor. THERE'S NO USE to deny that the War brought on prosperity—after 8 long years of leaf-raking doles and wasteful 'priming of the pump', 10 million men and women still were unemployed—and the national debt increased to new all-time highs of more than $40,000,000,000; it's no laughing matter. THERE'S NO USE denying that reconversion to peacetime production will be a big job, but it can't be done with government meddling, wrangling and the impossible impediments of so many bureaus whose own authority and power overlaps, conflicts and causes constant bickering. There can be jobs and opportunity for all. THERE'S NO USE denying that the administration has a sad record of labor disputes—fostered by bungling and incompetence; that it has fostered strife between one labor group and another, and that it has bred class division, hate and insecurity—at a time when the nation should be united. FACTS ARE INDISPUTABLE! THE FACTS ARE that for every year of the present administration, the people have been "treated" to a circus of quarreling, disunity and dissention.
