Since When Can't We Vote? Last week, Proposition 4 promoter George McLain initialed another in a long line of moves apparently calculated to keep the voters of California from casting ballots on repeal of his pension scheme. Suit was filed in an attempt to prohibit the Secretary of State from certifying the recently qualified repeal initiative for the ballot. Briefly, the repealer initiative would maintain pension payments for the aged at $75 monthly and for the blind at $85 monthly, but in all other respects would do away with Proposition 4. Pension administration, sponsors point out, would be returned to normal legislative and gubernatorial controls, thus doing away with the dictatorial mode of administration as set up by Proposition 4. Prior to the present stratagem to prevent the issue from being submitted to the voters, McLain attempted other tactics of delay. Petition circulators employed by the sponsors of the repeal initiative, the Anaheim Gazette, May 19, 1949 World Trade Week We will celebrate World Trade Week May 22-28. This gigantic celebration snowballed into a national observance after beginning in Los Angeles in 1927 as a harbor promotional program of the World Trade Department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. To understand the importance of world trade; now it plays a part in everyday life we need only take a trip to our neighborhood grocery, or drug store. Canned foods require tin which comes from the Dutch East Indies; sugar comes from abroad. Examine the assortment of tropical fruits. You could not take a step without world trade. Your shoe heels, if they are rubber, come from abracad. Your suit could be made of Australian wool, manufactured in England. The cotton in your shirt is from many different countries, each type selected because of its strength, hardness or finish. The silk in your tie may come from the orient. World Trade is one of the more breadth of the Federal Union all places where side by side Confederate and the Federals await the last roll call devotion to what each believer cause will be commemorated by former friend and silence and with tear-breaking eyes the matrons and mankind will cover with the graves of the fallen It is but a little thing in this covering a soldier's flowers, but in its sign and in its effect, it does heal the breach created war, than all the eloquent wisdom of the North, South or West. We see that some states have made the day holiday, their example followed by all; for more than the birth of the nation dearer than the birthday Father of our country is on which in the presence dead, the nation gives to teachers of Lethe the imagination which separates the north and south. A hundred years ago there no railroads, no steamboat graph lines, gas burners, sewing machines, photogram volvers, percussion caps, shoes and above all schools. Quite a pleasant party Prior to the present stratagem to prevent the issue from being submitted to the voters, McLain attempted other tactics of delay. Petition circulators employed by the sponsors of the repeal initiative, the California Council for the Blind, report they were threatened while securing signatures. And members of the council were named in a "conspiracy" lawsuit which, for all practical purposes, has been thrown out of court. Another McLain maneuver has been to institute recall proceedings against the Governor of the state for his refusal to accede to what he termed the "arrogant" demands of the McLain clique that the people of California be denied the right to vote on repeal of Proposition 4. It has been said that pension administration under Proposition 4 constitutes a virtual dictatorship over the aged and blind—and as a matter of history, all-powerful administrators don't care for free elections once they are in power. Since when, however, can't California vote? State Orange Week and Fair Queen Contest (Continued from Page 1) Several service clubs have already arranged for midway concessions, Blackmon said.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago May 30, 1874 Decoration Day Today throughout the length and breadth of the Federal Union, in all places where side by side the Confederate and the Federal soldiers await the last roll call, their devotion to what each believed the true cause will be commemorated alike by former friend and foe. In silence and with tear-bedimmed eyes the matrons and maidens of the nation will cover with flowers the graves of the fallen soldiers. It is but a little thing in itself—this covering a soldier's grave with flowers, but in its significance and in its effect, it does more to heal the breach created by the war, than all the eloquence and wisdom of the North, South, East or West. We see that some of the states have made the day a legal holiday, their example should be followed by all; for more sacred than the birth of the nation and clearer than the birthday of the Father of our country is this day on which in the presence of their dead, the nation gives to the waters of Lethe the imaginary line which separates the north from the south. A hundred years ago there were no railroads, no steamboats, telegraph lines, gas burners, furnaces, sewing machines, photographs, revolvers, percussion caps, rubber shoes and above all, no free schools.
