Out-of-session Legislature In view of the great hue and cry over interim committees of the state legislature, Californians may well ponder the function which these bodies serve. In principle, to keep the wheels of the legislative branch of California's government functioning smoothly, interim committees are appointed while the Legislature is in session. Their purpose is to investigate and ferret out facts between sessions on legislative matters warranting such scrutiny. Thus, while the lawmakers are away from Sacramento, an out-of-session Legislature is at work, so to speak. To round out the cycle, the interim committees report back on their findings when the Legislature re-convenes and then if "there ought to be a law," the solons are informed on the subject. The additional purpose to the 81st Congress practically demanded the control of all American industry. It is a false theory to even think that the Government can tax without limit, and spend beyond all the laws of God, man and the devil. Whew! The President has recommended "that the Congress enact new tax legislation to bring an additional $4 billion dollars of Government revenue which should come principally from additional corporate taxes." In the long past farm prices have been decided by the natural laws of supply and demand. Now, the President recommends controls and "farm price supports to prevent farm price declines." No wonder Senator Harry F. Byrd, number one Democrat statesman from Virginia has branded President Truman's economic advisors as "strange groups of men whose fanciful ideas should be investigated by Congress." in session. Their purpose is to investigate and ferret out facts between sessions on legislative matters warranting such scrutiny. Thus, while the lawmakers are away from Sacramento, an out-of-session Legislature is at work, so to speak. To round out the cycle, the interim committees report back on their findings when the Legislature re-convenes and then if "there ought to be a law," the solons are informed on the subject. The additional purpose is served of avoiding time-consuming investigations during the period of the regular legislative meeting. The charge has been made that by and large, too many interim committees are formed—and that they are formed as a means of padding the lawmakers' pockets. But while there may be some justification in the accusation—unobeddly some of the legislators have been guilty of overdoing a "good thing"—there is no reason to condemn the entire interim committee practice. Even the most ardent advocate of economy in government will agree that many worth-while laws and important legislative decisions are the result of interim committee study and recommendation. One solution proposed by the legislators themselves, is a measure which will appear on the ballot this November. It limits the number of days members of the committees can serve as well as the per diem pay, but increases salaries of the state's lawmakers, while in session, to $300 monthly. Perhaps in this manner, California can protect its vital interest in the necessary work of the interim committees and grant the solops a long-overdue salary increase, too. Hard Work Versus Handouts In the past decade, and especially in the last few years, it has become "smart" with some people to see how completely they can dodge their responsibilities both to themselves and their families. Unfortunately for the rest of us, too many of them have found that overly liberal "benefits" and sometimes the laxity with which these benefits are paid, have made this sort of existence quite pleasant and reasonably profitable. The recent substantial gains reported in the savings of the American people as a whole, however, show that most of our citizens shun this indolent, irresponsible attitude and are willing to corporate taxes." In the long past farm prices have been decided by the natural laws of supply and demand. Now, the President recommends controls and "farm price supports to prevent farm price declines." No wonder Senator Harry F. Byrd, number one Democrat statesman from Virginia has branded President Truman's economic advisors as "strange groups of men whose fanciful ideas should be investigated by Congress." Senator Byrd charges that "These men seem to be dictating the administration's economic reflected to his credit. The General may have every bit as much influence in the White House as he has claimed in his recent reluctant interviews with the press. But that shouldn't shield him from investigation. Ninety-five per cent Americans shouldn't be hanging around the White House steps. Billions for Bobby Hatches California is indebted to Judge Mathew F. Brady of San Francisco for a refreshing new approach to the reckless driving problem. Last week a motorist pled guilty in his court to speeding 80 miles per hour across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. His only defense was that he had a new car. Pronounced, the Judge: "Anyone who drives in such an outrageous manner must be crazy." The punishment? Three days in the municipal hospital for psychiatric examination! Fines and jail sentences having pretty much failed as deterrents to speed demons, perhaps the prospect of a few days in the booby hatch would prove far more effective. Unfortunately, though, there's a serious shortage of such facilities, and if the Judge's punishment gains wide acceptance, California will have to spend billions for mental institutions in every town and hamlet. Unemployment Spreads Over World Unemployment has increased in Canada, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland and the United States. There are no signs of improvement in either Great Britain or our own nation. Mr. Truman is following in the tracks left by former President... Unemployment Spreads Over World Unemployment has increased in Canada, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Switzerland, Great Britain, Ireland and the United States. There are no signs of improvement in either Great Britain or our own nation. Mr. Truman is following in the tracks left by former President Franklin D. Roosevelt in advancing heavy spending in order to escape depressions. On the other hand Senator Robert Taft, whom Washington statesmen regard to be the top man in the Republican party, continues to condemn the Truman policy and he makes the charge that the Truman plan for more taxes and more spending "is about as certain a way to socialize the country as any other way." Mr. Truman tells us that "the whole world is watching." Our friends are proud to know that well-being and hopes for world peace are greatly dependent upon the economic strength of the United States." But, just how even the United States can expect to "keep economic strength" by spending all of its money is a puzzle to all people. Fallin' Down Farm prices have fallen sharply since last November and there is a constant increase in the number of jobless persons throughout the nation. The Republican minority in Congress seeks to cut expenditures, balance the budget, and maintain stability in the government. It would seem to a layman and to a newspaper correspondent that when the government is spending more money than it can take in that we are heading toward serious troubles. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago August 27, 1874 Rev. M. Loop will hold Episcopal services in Enterprise hall tomorrow morning. The grand jury is in session. Richard Gilman and R. D. Gates represent Anaheim in that body. Mr. Menzel has retired from the restaurant business. The Anaheim Meat Market has removed to the old butcher shop on Los Angeles street, opposite P. Davis & Bros. store. We were shown yesterday a corn stalk measuring 16 feet in length and having two ears of corn, one of which was 12 inches in circumference. A bridge over the ditch on the east side of Anaheim is a necessity to those who are obliged to travel that road. On Friday morning complaint was made by Charles Hille against one Clements for malicious mischief. He was tried before Judge Alex Bailey and found guilty. Mr. Calisher's fine home is approaching completion. It is of the "Mansard roof," order of architecture, a style of great beauty and elegance (This house, known as the "old Koenig house" on Cohn, the other day, for meat, and so amazed, was he at the verdency of the newcomer that ere he could file his objections that gentleman was out of sight. B. F. Smith will sell at auction on Saturday, August 29, fifty head of broke and unbroken horses and mules. A huge rat which for many weeks has set at defiance the dignity and astuteness of our worthy Justice Clark and revealed in luxuries with which his office abounds, was yesterday captured by our worthy friend and immediately dispatched with a hatchet. On last Saturday as a son of Mr. Bolen was engaged in picking hops on the plantation of J. P. Raine, he was bitten on the ankle by a rattlesnake. Dr. Hardin was immediately called and by prompt action his life was saved. Dr. Yocum and family arrived in Anaheim on Tuesday. The Ashland, Pa., record in noting the departure of the doctor's family from that place says in part: "We are very sorry that the condition of the doctor's health makes this move necessary and we hope his health will improve in the perpetual summer climate of southern California." Council Studies Recreation Revenue (Continued from Page 1) general fund to the sanitation fund to offset a monthly $3,000 deficit that has existed since May. It was at this time that each of the cities in the Joint Outfall agreed to assume their costs of B.O.D. treatment. West La Palma Annexation A hearing on the West La Palma annexation was held with immediate action postponed. Although no protests were lodged the proposed annexation still lacks the approval of three property owners in the area. Annexed was property known as the Manchester Avenue annexation number 2 including land in the vicinity of Loara and Manchester. City Engineer Hapgood reported the auditing of the housing projects books by a battery of five state auditors who praised the accounting. They informed the city that a check for $1200 would be forthcoming representing Anaheim's 10 per cent share in the initial cost of construction. In answer to the Anaheim school district's request for a four-way stop at Santa Ana and Olive-the council agreed to establish a pedestrian crossing at Santa Ana. They also directed the installation of stop signs on South Palm street at Water. $2,780.16 Refund City clerk Charles Griffith reported the receipt of a $2,780.16 refund from the state for the excellent safety record of the city ending November 29, 1948. This represented a 51% refund of state compensation costs.

For twelve years Bill, as he is known to his many friends, has represented the third supervisorial district on the Board of Supervisors and during that time he has kept faith with the people. Millions of dollars are handled by the county board and it is necessary for this district to be represented by a man of tried and proven ability.

YMCA Enrollment Hits 98-Year High (Continued from page 1) will be strictly organized as YMCA clubs during the coming year, Thomason said. Attendances at YMCA activities reach astronomical proportions. Physical activities attracted total attendances of 30,000,000. Attendances at regularly scheduled clubs and other groups were 73,500,000. In Anaheim attendance exceeded 12,000 for the more than 800 members. A pioneer in swimming and water safety, the "Y" gave swimming lessons to 390,000 youngsters in its 600 pools. Physical examinations totaled 83,000. YMCA camps no longer are the male sanctuary they used to be. Of the 225,000 persons attending "Y" camps, 46,000 were girls and women, mostly of high school or young adult age. Counselling Service People came to the "Y" in droves to get their personal problems settled. One and a third million personal counseling interviews on topics ranging from getting jobs to staying happily married were given by YMCA workers last year. Counseling, in fact, is becoming "more rather than less" important in the "Y," with some associations now employing full-time clinical psychologists to help young people solve their problems. Some "Y'" sleeping facilities, notably in the 190 railroad YMCA's are used in eight-hour shifts, accommodating three persons a day. "Y"' dormitories had 73,500 beds which provided 23,000,000 nights' lodging. Helps 23 Million Servicemen The Armed Services YMCA's had a "door-count" of 23,000,000 A "BIG ONE" THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY! Most fishermen tell of the "big one" that got away but a local fisherman can show proof of the "big one" he landed after an hour of work in landing the 233-pound marlin. Last Sunday R. A. Ingram, Mrs. Ingram and their 10-year old son had the thrill of their lives when the "big one" snagged the hook on heavy tackle Mr. Ingram was using.
