Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Foolish Filibusters Just how any man holding a seat in Congress and sustains a filibuster is a seven-day-conundrum. Back in Civil War times there were Senators and Representatives in Congress who talked their heads off to boost the cause of the Confederacy. According to Webster's dictionary a filibuster is "to delay action in an assembly by dilatory motions or other artifices." Now comes Senator Long, son of Huey Long to tell the cockeyed world that filibustering is a heritage. He proves himself to be a chip off the old block. Minority groups right now are trying to perpetuate racial segregation, whereas the national Constitution definitely prohibits racial discrimination. It is just as plain as the nose on anyone's face that Congress as the responsibility and must do its duty to prevent the socialistic scheme in Congress to put "State Rights" over—on top of the plain authority of the federal government. The issue goes deeper than civil While it seems like a whopper of a notion it is pointed out that it is a less costly pension plan than that suggested by the American Legion. There is no doubt but what the people of the country will sustain any reasonable increase in the pension system. But the general supposition in Washington is that Rankin is shooting the rockets too high. Deflation and Inflation The men who run the government in Washington are agreed that all is not well with business. We are now in the period called "deflation." That means that prices are tumbling down. The government has imposed so many taxes upon "we people" that there is talk of inflation control—which for short, is to find means to control deflation. Maybe there is going to be a readjustment of costs and prices because wages and prices are not at all satisfactory to the general public. Nevertheless, any large increase of taxes is not to be expected. Fair Deal Facing a Square Deal The new labor law bill is to boomed throughout the country. The Washington correspondent this newspaper is familiar with every prediction that the N.D.A.'s Wagner Act, all dressed in new regalia will slide through Congress. The labor bosses are manipulating a tremendous campaign to stir up public sentiment for the fuzzy old Wagner Act. If the Taft-Hartley Act is pealed, it will be "in name on," the fair dealers are determined claim credit for a new labor law—and their funny little scheme to call it the Wagner Act. It necessary that all American citizens who keep tabs on import labor union demands should press their opinions in letters their members of Congress use this legislation. The Republican minority screamed bloody murder against "steamroller tactics" now being used in the Senate to obey the orders of President Truman. Minority groups right now are trying to perpetuate racial segregation, whereas the national Constitution definitely prohibits racial discrimination. It is just as plain as the nose on anyone's face that Congress as the responsibility and must do its duty to prevent the socialistic scheme in Congress to put "State Rights" over—on top of the plain authority of the federal government. The issue goes deeper than civil rights and racial problems. Whether the Senate and House acts as a rubber stamp for the executive or not, doesn't change the fact that majorities rule in Congress, and that minorities have no right to talk any measure to death. The present Congress has plenty of time to use all its safeguards against abuse of talk marathons. Incidentally, President Truman is opposed to filibusters. Veterans Pensions It is estimated that there are 19,500,000 veterans of two World Wars. Representative John Rankin of Mississippi is the leader of a movement in Congress to provide a $90-a-month pension for all these veterans when they reach 65. You Can't Buy Everything Maybe it's only human nature, but people everywhere seem to be trying to get more and more for less and less. Eventually, however, as the British people have found, disillusionment and disappointment are the inevitable results. After years of austerity and rationing, goods are once more appearing in quantity in British stores. But few people can buy them, for the government has already spent their money for them—to support nationalized industries, government medicine and cradle-to-the-grave security. And though accustomed to over-taxation since 1940, the patient Britons now are reported shocked at the staggering cost of the Labor We are now in the period called "deflation." That means that prices are tumbling down. The government has imposed so many taxes upon "we people" that there is talk of inflation control—which for short, is to find means to control deflation. Maybe there is going to be a readjustment of costs and prices because wages and prices are not at all satisfactory to the general public. Nevertheless, any large increase of taxes is not to be expected. Congress overrode President Taft-Hawley Act. Fifty-four members of the Senate that voted to override the Truman veto of the Taft-Hawley bill are still in the Senate. It is reasonable to believe that revised labor legislation will prove conditions for employee wage workers and the public. The labor leaders are not going to scuttle this particular ship. I member this prediction and how the correspondent of your cal newspaper comes out in the prophecy. The state of Georgia ranks first in the United States in the production of marble, second in bite and third in granite. It is also the largest producer of kaolin. Hidden tank farm to keep 50,000 homes warm Deep in the first near Puget Sound one of the largest heating oil tank farms in the West is being built... and motorists passing by on the highway will never know it exists. A large ring of trees has been left standing around the tanks to preserve the scenic beauty of the area; the farm itself will store 28,896,000 gallons of oil...enough to heat 50,000 homes all winter long. Actually, the six tanks are not needed under normal weather and shipping conditions. They're being built at a cost of more than $1,000,000 to make certain there will be enough oil on hand to meet any emergency spell of unusually bad weather...to make certain the homes of the people we serve always will be warm. Similar expenditures are being made constantly in the important job of serving the West well. Standard Oil Company of California IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago March 28, 1874 Los Angeles claims the first shipment of the spring wool clip. P. Davis & Bro. have already shipped 300 bales of wool of this spring's clip, and intend shipping as many more as are offered them for sale. Philip Davis, the senior member of the firm, intends leaving in a short time for New York, for the purpose of disposing of his present purchases, amounting to nearly one-half million pounds. Charlie Hille picked up a human skull on Anaheim Landing road a few days ago. He supposes it to belong to the serving man of Harry Polhemus. So many skulls, belonging to that unfortunate individual have been found lately and found in such a monotonously similar manner, that we positively refuse to believe that he ever had a skull. On last Saturday afternoon a youth who for some time past has been in the employment of H. D. Polhemus decamped with a number of valuable articles during the temporary absence of the family from the house. Among the articles stolen were a gold watch, which was an heirloom in the family and highly prized by its owner, a rifle, horse, saddle blankets, etc. A search was made for him by officers but so far he has successfully eluded pursuit. The Presbytery of Los Angeles held its annual meeting in the Presbyterian church in this place. ishing for a bed is calculated to awaken the sympathies of a cucumber and draw tears from the eyes of a potato. Gospel Swampers are a terrible set of growlers. Their special grievance now is that the beets in that section grow so large as to require the combined strength of two men to life them into the wagon. W. H. Spurgeon of Santa Ana has made a huge success of his well. It is 278½ feet in depth and gives forth 1000 gallons per hour and is steadily increasing. Mr. N. Palmer, who recently purchased a part of the "Mott" near Santa Ana, will soon commence planting 5000 blue gum, and about the same number of locust and other trees.

As all demand for power between the hours of 11 p.m. 7 a.m. can be supplied at prices by steam plants without draught upon by hydroelectric systems, sumers are urged to make use this period whenever possible rather than during daylight evening hours. The city election to be held April 14th will be one of the test contests experienced since good old days when the wetshed drys locked horns every year and kept the city perilously divided into two camps.

E Schumacher Fowler Polhemus decamped with a number of valuable articles during the temporary absence of the family from the house.

The guage at the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Growers association Monday registered .75 of an inch making 1.13 for the storm. This makes 5.52 for the season to date, only 1.46 behind the record of last year at this time. Considerable snow fell on the mountain tops. The precipitation last year was far below normal and the situation is the most serious that has even confronted southern California for the reason that the demand for water is growing greater each year.

CECIL GOUGH VERLA WIMBERLY HOW MANY COAST JOBS WERE BORN 1. When you see telephone cable on its way to work, you're watching the West benefit in two important ways. It means new voice highways for the West . . . more telephones . . . better service. It also means jobs and paychecks for the men who make the cable, those who install it and, later on, those who maintain it. And putting in new cable is just a small part of our building program. Hundreds of new buildings mean work for carpenters, bricklayers—and work for those who provide the materials. They mean future jobs for telephone people. Since the war, we've put half a million dollars to work in new construction. Much it has found its way in ever-widening circles to the economy of practically every city and town in the West. 3. More business for the baker, the drug-gist, the clothier—telephone construction has given the West a big postwar lift. There's no way, of course, to trace all the jobs created by just one mile of cable...or one building. But it would probably be hard to find a family whose income has not benefited, in some way, from the money we've spent to provide more service. It all adds up—this tremendous building program—a better West for all of us. It is being paid for by thousands of investors who have provided the millions of new working dollars that make the job possible. Result: More telephones...better service. Yet few pennies still buy a telephone call—one of your real values today. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Give gladly to + the Red Cross
