Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. The Margarine Situation There no longer is the slightest question as to the nutritional qualities of margarine, yet the laws enacted in 1897 stand today principally at the behest of the dairy interests. The law prohibiting the sale of colored margarine is in a sense of the word, prehistoric. Nutritional values of margarine compare favorably with butter, which is also artificially colored and sold to the housewife. There is no threat of deception, or that shopkeepers are going to try to pawn margarine off on the public under the guise of butter and at the present day butter prices. One of the leading manufacturers of margarine has publicly announced that the coloring of this commodity will not add a cent to its present cost, as some interests are trying to make the public believe. The only thing which the present law of uncolored margarine does, is to force the housewife to perform the messy job of mixing into the product the coloring which is enclosed in each package-it-out that an over-all five per cent cut on total appropriations would save our government 2½ billions and avoid a deficit. Senator Ferguson of Michigan proposed cutting the appropriations ten per cent. Senator Wherry of Nebraska was defeated when he proposed a five per cent reduction. River and harbor bills are opposed by Senator McKellar who says these measures are loaded down with too much local "fat." Senator Douglas is old-fashioned. He says these bids are "pork barrel." Meanwhile Uncle Sam is on the biggest spending spree in all history. Deficit Financing The President of the United States has asked Congress to approve a budget for the fiscal year beginning next July 1 of $42 billion to $44 billion dollars. The budget for the year ending July 1, 1948, was $33,800,000,000. Are we going nutty? D.

Motion picture were shown by Tuffree who world traveler, lecturer and public under the guise of butter and at the present day butter prices. One of the leading manufacturers of margarine has publically announced that the coloring of this commodity will not add a cent to its present cost, as some interests are trying to make the public believe. The only thing which the present law of uncolored margarine does, is to force the housewife to perform the messy job of mixing into the product the coloring which is enclosed in each package. Housewives are GOING to purchase margarine, regardless of the inconvenience, so long as the prices of butter remain at the high level of today. Margarine is becoming a favorite spread in a large percentage of homes of today. Its flavor compares to the finest spreads and its economy is something which every housewife is forced to recognize. The housewife is the only party being penalized, not the industry, by the continuance of the stupid law in existence since 1897. The oleomargarine issue has assumed such great importance that any lawmaking body refusing to let it go to vote would be showing contempt for public opinion. There is a mighty argument for passage of the bill. Last November the people of the cities gave the rural areas a hand by voting against Senate reapportionment. They may not do it again if the Senate turns down the yellow margarine bill, for a vast majority of urban people want the margarine bill passed. Spending Too Much Money A group of Senators and Representatives in Congress have been trying without much success to trim government spending. Of course no one gets very much frightened over appropriations for rivers and harbors and flood control. But the expense of keeping up with demands on us from all parts of the world is staggering. Senator Tydings of Maryland Meanwhile Uncle Sam is on the biggest spending spree in all history. Deficit Financing The President of the United States has asked Congress to approve a budget for the fiscal year beginning next July 1 of $42 billion to $44 billion dollars. The budget for the year ending July 1, 1948, was $33,800,000,000. Are we going nutty? Let's face the facts: Tax receipts are falling off. The business volume is slipping.. The President stands pat for his tax plan. "We, the People" can't understand all of this. And apparently the political powers that rule the nation evidently ignore the fact that we are going deeper and deeper into the hole. At least one outstanding publication in Washington predicts that the new victory loan drive will not bring enough money into the Government treasury to meet its financial needs. In short, it is charged that the new bond drive is "about to embark on an era of deficit financing." What Do Our Folks Want? There are lots of answers to that question, but boiled down to a simple paragraph the farmers want guaranteed incomes, and veterans want increased pensions. Old people want to be left alone and not made to spend all of their savings for taxes, and on monkey-shining political changes. Stacks of Savings Bonds In 1950 the Government will redeem $1,002,000,000 of bonds. That sounds like a lot of money. But, in 1954 the top will be reached as $9,130,000,000 worth of savings bonds mature that year. So save 'em up—you can't lose! Words were not separated by spaces in early forms of writing, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. American Business There is a steady decline in kinds of business activity among people are holding small factory jobs today than they were at the beginning of the year.
