Transportation Taxes Hit New High Marking an all-time high, state taxes on sleeping, refrigerator tank and livestock cars operated over California railroads, but not owned by railroad companies, will exceed a half million dollars this year. This was revealed recently following completion by the state board of equalization of the annual assessment of private car company taxes amounting to $527,492 in contrast with $468,942 in 1944, which was the highest total in a previous year. William G. Bonelli, Los Angeles, fourth equalization district board member, commenting on the gain of almost 12.5 per cent in the car tax yield, attributed this to additional freight movements in the Pacific coast area because of war activity against Japan. The average number of so-called "private" cars in the state, he pointed out, increased from 14,010 last year to 16,747 this year. He added: "A small part of the revenue gain is due to a slightly higher tax rate, $3.22 per $100 of assessed value, which is 5 cents more than in 1944. This rate has been computed by the board under the legal requirement that we ascertain the last statewide average of local rates on the basis of county assessed valuations." Almost 65 per cent of the tax is levied against two firms: Pacific Fruit Express, assessed for 7328 refrigerator cars valued a men's Missionary society of the Evangelical church spent a delightful summer day last Thursday at the beach home of Mrs. R.

The Center furnished the ice cream and coffee following the basket supper provided by the members. Plans had been made for sporting contests and witnessing the softball game but these were called off and the time was spent instead in conversation of the day's happy events. C. J.

Boyce, junior college director, announced that there has been several changes in the faculty. New members include Lloyd B.

"A small part of the revenue gain is due to a slightly higher tax rate, $3.22 per $100 of assessed value, which is 5 cents more than in 1944. This rate has been computed by the board under the legal requirement that we ascertain the last statewide average of local rates on the basis of county assessed valuations." Almost 65 per cent of the tax is levied against two firms: Pacific Fruit Express, assessed for 7328 refrigerator cars valued at $6,748,000, and the Pullman company, assessed for 554 sleeping cars valued at $3,229,820. General American Transportation corporation is taxed for 2047 tank cars, nearly four times as many units as the Pullman company but the lower value of tank cars makes its assessment only $1,271,650. In all, 122 companies, operating various types of special equipment over California railroads, are assessed this year for rolling stock valued at $15,885,220. This is $4,216,690 more than the corresponding total for 1938, the first year in which private car taxes were levied by the state. Thus, despite a decline in the tax rate from $3.60 per $100 in 1938 to $3.32 currently, the 1945 tax is $107,425 greater than that of seven years ago.

Schultz Furniture ANAHEIM'S FOREMOST HOME 301 West Center Street Open Evenings by App PACE ON EARTH The world has passed through awful ordeal of universal war, "peace in our time" has been But it was not destined to be in the lifetime of those who sacrificed most selflessly for it. We were the men and women gave their lives in order that we now living might experience glory of the human spirit. Many of them died when hope victorious peace was dim: Americans at Bataan; Russians at How and Stalingrad; British Canadians at Dunkirk; Chion, a hundred lost battle-ers; the noble men and women European underground reence who died by starvation, fire and the firing squad. The peoples of the world cannot deny them; can only accord them eternal place in honor with all who have died in the name of unity through mankind's trouhistory. This Nation is fortunate in that sons of our armed forces, and Army and Navy nurses and Cross workers, have survived home to their families a grateful people. The Nazis fortunate, too, in knowlthat the victory has proved and to all the world that way of democratic life is the enduring foundation for peace and happiness. The new thing," President Truman said, "the thing we had not known—the thing we have learned now and should never forget, is this: That a society of self-governing men is more powerful, more enduring, more creative than any other kind of society, however disciplined, however centralized. Now let us use that force and all our resources and all our skills in the great cause of a just and lasting peace." That is the way of peace on earth through goodwill toward men. The Office Flapper observes that this one-arm stuff at the wheel produces two unsatisfactory results—poor driving and poor hugging.
