State Revenues Hit Record High Of $787 Millions Sacramento, (WNS)—With California taxpayers contributing $76.76 per person combined state revenues from all sources reached a record high of $787,907,593 during the fiscal year ending June 30, State Controller Thomas Kuchel said today. This represented a $60,223,320 increase over revenues for the 1947-48 fiscal period. The average daily revenue accruing to the state was $2,158,651. Retail sales and use taxes brot in the major portion of the revenue netting the state $294,563,-917, an increase over the preceding year of $18,987,938. Motor vehicle fuel taxes were second with $128,396,815. Unemployment insurance taxes totalling $113,237,675 are not included in the combined revenue statement, Kuchel said, because they are collected by the state but held in trust for the federal government. The Controller pointed out these levies decreased $11,-547,191 from the 1947-48 revenues. The balance in California's unemployment fund held by the United States Treasury decreased some $193,000,000 during the period leaving a total of $513,448,-662. Similarly, state unemployment compensation disability tax money decreased $4,508,158 from the previous year, leaving a total of $43,329,520 in the fund. "AUTOMATIC" HEELS WHILE YOU WAIT A unique machine, believed to be the only one in captivity in Orange county and one of three in this state is owned by Dick Maletta, czar of the Nu-Way Shoe Repair, 109 South Los Angeles street. Called the "Speed Master" Auto-Soler, the mechanism will efficiently secure heels of leather, rubber or composition in three minutes while the customer waits. This fast mechanical worker nails the heels with wire, according to Maletta. BABY GIRL ARRIVES Proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Bedell, 114 South Philadelphia street, Anaheim, who welcomed a baby daughter Monday at Fullerton General hospital. Anaheim merchants invite you! WHO WANTS WHO GETS OWNERS?—The people who have risked their savings in a business venture certainly want profits to repay them for the use of their money and for the risk they take. But they don't always get profits. Ours is a profit and loss system. All too frequently a business hasn't anything left after paying all expenses. But when there are profits, who gets them? Wall Street? The "filthy rich"? Let's see. There are about 13 million stockholders in just the 428 larger companies which report their ownership. The hundreds of thousands of other corporations, which do not report their ownership, have entrusted to them the savings of further millions and millions of stockholders. Two of every three dollars of dividends from these companies go to people who have less than $100 a week total income from all sources and who, after personal income taxes, retain 83 per cent of all dividends paid by corporations. Any of these dividends that go to that rabble rouser's delight—the "filthy rich"—are promptly taken by federal income taxes averaging about 80 per cent. Actually, after income taxes, the "rich" get to keep only 4 per cent of all dividends paid by corporations. There are an additional 10 million owners or "proprietors" of businesses which are not incorporated. These, too, are trying to do better than break even—trying to "make money." There must obviously be some duplication in the above numbers. Once a fellow develops the saving habit, he may not invest in just his own business or in some one corporation's stock, but may think it prudent to spread the risk of his savings over two or more ventures and thus not have all his eggs in one basket. There are an additional 10 million owners or "proprietors" of businesses which are not incorporated. These, too, are trying to do better than break even—trying to "make money." There must obviously be some duplication in the above numbers. Once a fellow develops the saving habit, he may not invest in just his own business or in some one corporation's stock, but may think it prudent to spread the risk of his savings over two or more ventures and thus not have all his eggs in one basket. But still there must be easily better than 25 million individual citizens who are risking past savings or a portion of present income in one or more business ventures in the hope of profits. But still more people are interested in profits. SAVERS?—There are 78 million—three out of every four adults in the U.S. with life and other insurance policies. The funds of insurance companies are to a large extent risked with business concerns or in investments directly affected by whether or not certain businesses, or businesses on the average, are operating profitably. Profits help make insurance safe and low in cost. There are around 80 million citizens who own government bonds directly. About one-third of the assets of the insurance companies and of the banks are in government bonds. There are 70 million people with savings accounts, millions more now on pension or contributing toward a pension, and other numberless folks with future income in fixed amount of dollars. All these are interested in keeping the dollar good . . . keeping it from dropping in buying power as it steadily has in 15 of the past 17 Worshum in U.S. Navy Amphibious Training Program Edward Drew Worshum, boat-train third, son of Mrs. Gladys Bonner of 1892 Whittier Avenue, Costa Mesa, is on active duty board the U.S. S. L. S. F. F. 786 recently took part in the most extensive amphibious training operations of its kind ever staged by the U.S. Navy. The training program, completed at midnight, July 30, was conducted at the U.S. Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Virginia, and in nearby waters. It was designed to provide general doctrination in the basic principles of amphibious warfare for 400 NROTC midshipmen from 52 college, 5,280 Marine Reserve officers and men and 330 officers of men of the U.S. Air Force. Worshum has been on active duty with the Navy since January 3, 1944. During World War II served in the American andatic theatres of action. VET STUDENT CHECKS DELAYED Approximately 6000 veterans who entered summer schools and colleges in this area in June did not receive their subsistence checks on Monday, August 1, 1949, as scheduled, L. C. Chapman, Manager of the Los Angeles Regional Office of the Veterans Administration, said today. "Checks should be received by practically all of these veterans not later than August 10," Chapman said. He added that veterans will aid the situation by not querrying the local VA about non-arrival of checks until after August 10, 1949.

ANTS PROFITS? GETS THEM? years. Profits are one of the strongest agencies to prevent this damage to the value of money and hence to such savings. GOVERNMENT?—Uncle Sam is greatly interested in profits—in fact, largely dependent on business profits to keep the government sound and keep the economy free. Government income is high and its expenses for various kinds of aid and relief can be low when most businesses are profitable and only a minority are losing money. Profits provided between one-third and one-half of government income last year. Profits are down this year, the relief load is up, and the government is already going to "deficit financing" which simply means it is living beyond its means and damaging again the value of everybody's income and savings. Profits shared, in reason, with the government provide federal income that results not from higher prices to citizens but from the ability and energy applied by those managements able to operate within a given market price which is not profitable for others. Government likes such income. Government has liked it too much. Profits have been taxed to the harm of the whole country. Company profits have even been taxed twice—as business earnings and again as dividends. This has prevented anything like the full progress possible. Our standard of living is raised only by putting profit and other savings into new designs, equipment, and methods. The increase has averaged 3% over the past 40 years. Our standard of living cannot be raised 10% or 15% or 18½% in a year by trick legislative or other such means. If our country is to progress faster, there must be renewed hope of profits to act as an added incentive to competition. And the profits needed for progress will come as the reward to those who succeed in operating efficiently within prices that are attractive to the public on products the public wants. Pagan Star to Run As entries mount for the mented racing program, it will announce that Pagan Star, of last year's Governor's cap and the $10,000 added will be back to race through the meet.

And the profits needed for progress will come as the reward to those who succeed in operating efficiently within prices that are attractive to the public on products the public wants. EMPLOYEES?—The well-being of employees is largely dependent on profits. Jobs are steady in times when most businesses are making a profit. Jobs are uncertain in times when most businesses have losses or even shrinking profits. How much can be bought by employees with their pay is dependent on how steadily profits are reinvested in the means for each of the 62 million of us in the work force doing more for each other with the same, or even less, physical effort. And almost all of the savers and owners mentioned above are, of course, employees. They are more and more recognizing that there are two ways to make money. One is in return for the interest, skii, care, and effort put personally on the individual job. The other is in return for intelligent risking of savings to back plans of a management thought likely to make a profit. One is pay for the work the employee does himself. The other is pay for the work his savings do. EVERYBODY?—Who wants profits?...Who gets them?...Who profits from profits?...DON'T WE ALL?
