WASHINGTON As Seen By CONGRESSMAN JOHN PHILLIPS "Laws and institutions," said Thomas Jefferson, "must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed, and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also, and keep pace with the times." I rise to remark that I hope more exciting news, and more important news, from Paris, and from China, and from Palestine, and from Washington too, if you wish, did not cause one item from congress itself, to be overlooked last week. For the congress, seizing its feeble courage in both hands, shut its eyes, took a long breath, and passed the "Legislative Reorgani-keep good men in the congress. The strain is very great and the financial rewards have not been commensurate. A surprising part of the year's salary has gone to pay expenses. The increase of $2,500 will be effective with the next congress, and the expense item, adopted a year ago as an experiment, is made permanent, and specifically labelled. As to the retirement provisions, congress has been the only part of the government not under some retirement plan, and when I see men whose age suggests retirement, unable to retire because their life has been given to gainless public service, and when I realize that congressmen will pay for the retirement benefits, on an actuarial basis, through deductions from their salaries, I feel that this should County Taxes On the Upswift Budget Sky-H A tax boost for Orange property owners may provide unavoidable following sentation of the 1946-47 estimated county government expenses to the board of supervisors last Tuesday more. A jump from 83 cents per valuation to $1.33 for the tax rate will result if they accept the estimates, as by departmental heads. Up to an actual fifty percent assessed value of county property. Special schools are excluded by estimates. Tentatively compiled paired from figures provided each departmental head Auditor L. H. Eckel submitted estimates to the last week. I rise to remark that I hope more exciting news, and more important news, from Paris, and from China, and from Palestine, and from Washington too, if you wish, did not cause one item from congress itself, to be overlooked last week. For the congress, seizing its feeble courage in both hands, shut its eyes, took a long breath, and passed the "Legislative Reorganization Act." Congress has reorganized itself! Seriously, I consider this one of the important steps forward in a century. I have worked personally on it since I have been in Washington, and was one of the advisory group which met during the preparation and presentation of the bill. Today, I saw a second bill pass the congress, on which I have worked for ten years. It sets up agricultural research on a basis which will give marketing research the same importance as production research. Two progressive victories in one session. Under the Reorganization Act, the number of committees in the senate will be reduced from 32 to 16 and in the house from 48 to 18. More important, the jurisdiction of each committee will be re-established. You have heard me comment on agricultural bills going to several different committees. The ways and means committee and the appropriations committee will meet together and review the financial situation and the probable demands for the year. They will then report to the congress, and on this report, and the President's message, the budget will be based. You do it yourself every year; you figure how much you'll have and set up your expenditures. We have appropriated first and figured later; that's one reason we have a 260 billion dollar debt. Committees will be staffed. The legislative counsel will be increased. There are changes in the rules of each house. Claim bills will go to a court of claims. Bridge bills will go to the war department. Records will be preserved. Committees will have to give time to hear less important bills; there are many changes, big and little. I suppose what people will hear most about are the two sections affecting the pay of members and the retirement provisions. To us in the congress, they are the least advance also, and keep pace with the times." Gesler-Hennig Produce Trailer Accessories Here Gesler and Hennig is the new combine manufacturing streamlined trailer accessories in the rear of the former Anaheim chapter headquarters of the American Red Cross, 142 East Center street. Louis Hennig and Edward Gesler are the co-owners of the new concern which specializes in trailers windows and screens. Modern machinery in the local center assures speed and accuracy of production. Associates in the business include Jim Gesler, E. W. Gesler's brother; former coast guardman; Lee Abbott, a veteran who received his discharge from the A.A.F. last year; Clifford Hutchinson, a veteran who was also attached with the A.A.F.; Charles Russell, a veteran formerly in the navy; Chet Kuntz and Jimmy Elam, both teenagers. Death Takes Perry Infant Perry Ray McFie, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall N. McFie, 220 North Olive street, died early Tuesday morning at the Los Angeles General hospital. Surviving him are his parents; one brother, Marshall M. McFie, Jr.; paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. P. McFie of Anaheim and maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Perry also of Anaheim. The body is at the Hilgenfeld mortuary and funeral arrangements have not been completed. New York City is the world's tax rate will result if it accepts the estimates, as by departmental heads.

Tentatively compiled paired from figures provided each departmental head Auditor L. H. Eckel submitted compiled estimates to the last week. The supervisors will probability, cut out some appropriations which are sought, but a fairly large in the tax rate is still included. An increase of $2,161,952 current fiscal year over last total was indicated in the mates for the cost of government, the jump being $6,684,533 of the 1945-year which ended June 31, 846,454 for the present. Responsibility for them is attributed to a reduced on hand as compared to year, increases in the same county employees, increases costs of materials and a construction and restoration program.

Proper electric wiring adds far more than its cost to the value of a house. By providing circuits, outlets, and switches adequate in size, number, and location, proper wiring permits the full use of electrical equipment upon which modern living depends. Any home that is not adequately wired is out-of-date. Good modern for many costs only 4% of the phone or write your information about visory service.

County Taxes Are On the Upswing; Budget Sky-High A tax boost for Orange county's property owners may prove to be unavoidable following the presentation of the 1946-47 budget of estimated county governmental expenses to the board of supervisors last Tuesday morning. A jump from 83 cents per $100 valuation to $1.33 for the county tax rate will result if the board accepts the estimates, as prepared by departmental heads. This adds up to an actual fifty cents per $100 assessed value of Orange county property. Special districts and schools are excluded from the estimates. Tentatively compiled and prepared from figures provided by each departmental head, County Auditor L. H. Eckel submitted the compiled estimates to the board last week. quirements, the 1946-47 estimates show budget requirements including reserves at $7,033,861. A total of $3,996,333 of that amount is available and $3,037,528 would have to be raised in taxes. Moeller Reports Fine Progress on Parking Program E. W. Moeller, secretary-manager of the city Chamber of Commerce, enthusiastically reported a fine progress in the collection of voluntary assessments for the off-street parking program. Endorsed by the merchants, the plan for the present calls for contacting the merchants and landlords in the one block area bound by Center, Los Angeles, Chartress and Lemon streets by sub committees. Approximately 50 per cent of those on the contact list have already given their pledge to pay the voluntary assessment. To date, they include: Mahaffey and Fitz Furniture company, who will improve the rear part of their store facing the off-street parking lot by erecting a display window; Swanberger's, Smith - Reafsynder Furniture company, the Cinderella shop and the Kendrick Jewelry company. A large glass-covered model of the business district of Anaheim showing the planned off-street parking areas is on display in the Chamber of Commerce office at 136 North Los Angeles street. The model, built by the city engineers, is made entirely of colored clay and brings out plainly each area intended for immediate or future development.
