Southern Style PREACHING - SINGING - PLAYING SUNDAY, JAN. 28 10:45 A.M. Rev. Marie Wagner 3:00 P.M. Great Divine Healing Service. 7:30 P.M. Rev. Pauline Parker ANAHEIM FOUR-SQUARE CHURCH BROADWAY and MANCHESTER REV. AND MRS. JAMES R. HARRISON, Co-Pastors ANAHEIM GAZETTE Legislature to Consider Reenactment Of Tax Reduction Measures, Report Reenact the present state tax cuts, hold the state budget down to real needs, and refuse to increase subventions to local governments, the executive committee of California Taxpayers' association recommended to the legislature today, in letters to Senator Thomas H. Kuchel, Assemblymen Clyde A. Watson and Sam L. Collins; and other members of the state legislature. Pointing to the more than $200,-000,000 impounded for postwar and future needs, even with the current decreased tax rates, the Taxpayers' committee said: "The tax cuts of 1943 provided some relief to the people in meeting the heavy burden of federal taxation. It would seem wise to re-enact them. The state revenue structure, even with decreased tax rates, is producing adequate revenue to meet all requirements and has permitted the earmarking of more than $200,000,000 for various future needs. There is no doubt that the present rates will yield sufficient revenue to meet all expenses if the 1945-47 budget is held to real needs and the pressure for increased subventions to local governments is withstood." "Expansion of state departments should be strictly limited until need for increases can be demonstrated. The constant pressure for expansion has been accentuated by the temporarily inflated revenues of the past three years. Many projects and expansions would not be proposed were it not for this condition of high revenue yield. Scientific studies of state departments would yield valuable results in terms of improved service and more economical operation." "State subventions to local governments are already consuming the lion's share of state revenue and have so greatly increased in..." Gas company to succeed Fred G. Merker was added today by A. F. Bridge, president and general manager since 1940. For four years previous, he had the same position in the coms Monrovia district. Kenbecame associated with the company in 1927. In his preposition, he was active in unity affairs having been director of the Ventura Concert Society association, Ventura Rotary and a member of the executive committee of the City Proj commission and Ventura merger of the American Red Cross. Merker died suddenly at a club meeting at Santa Ana January 9. He entered gas comm service on September 20, and had been Orange county act manager since 1933. His timely passing is deeply regretfully all his associates in the city. FET SUPPER The opening concert of the Ceci-Singers, last week in Santa Ana was followed by a delightful supper in the "Peacock" at the Santa Ana Ebell club. Dorothy Hanna, club president and Miss Alice Grimshaw, president, both of Anaheim, died behind the tea and coffee. S PROMOTION Ana Renick, manager of the Woolworth store, has recently promoted to the manage- of the Ontario store. She stated that expansion has been accentuated by the temporarily inflated revenues of the past three years. Many projects and expansions would not be proposed were it not for this condition of high revenue yield. Scientific studies of state departments would yield valuable results in terms of improved service and more economical operation. "State subventions to local governments are already consuming the lion's share of state revenue and have so greatly increased in recent years that the state has assumed much of the cost of local government without adequate expenditure controls or thought to the interests of the state as opposed to localities. Each local government should pay its own costs, except where the state has a direct interest in its service. In addition, control by the state should be approximately in proportion to the money it supplies. It is inequitable that taxes collected from all the people in California be devoted to paying for governmental services of local groups. This deceptively 'painless' money is very likely to be used less carefully than the funds raised in local jurisdictions." Urging care in the adoption of the state's 1945-47 spending program, the Taxpayers' executive committee said to the legislators: "There could be no greater stimulus to postwar rehabilitation than action by the legislature to provide unmistakable evidence that the state is being carefully and economically operated and its tax exactions are being held to an adequate minimum so that the people may spend and invest privately as much of their substance as possible."

Then why pay more for a personal loan than the Bank of America rate? The cost of a Bank of America Timeplan loan, repaid at maturity in 12 equal monthly instalments, can be as much as 50% less than the cost of a similar loan arranged through many lending companies... and there are no other charges... no deductions. That's as plain as we know how to say it. At Bank of America you can also borrow on your car whether it is fully paid for or not. And you need not be a depositor to arrange a Timeplan loan at any branch. BANK OF AMERICA Timeplan LOANS Associated C. of C.

Local 20-30 Club Sponsors March Of Dimes Drive The alarming increase throughout the United States in the dread infantile paralysis disease has caused Orange county's quota for the annual March of Dimes drive to be doubled this year and towards this end a vigorous campaign is underway in Anaheim. The local aspect of the drive is being sponsored by the 20-30 club under the leadership of its president, John Maloney. This week the March of Dimes containers were placed in all city schools and many business houses and stores. The drive will close on Jan. 31.
