THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT NEIL STANLEY G. E. MELLEN MARY ROULAND RALPH ROULAND LUCY HUBBARD That old tax business, again Death and taxes are always certain and a boost in your income tax this year seems pretty certain, too. But there can't be any boost 'til Congress passed a bill to put it through. And Congress still is months away from doing that. It's even possible, though not likely, that Congress will fiddle away this whole year without voting an increase. At the rate it's going, an increase in taxes seems hardly likely before Oct. 1. And if there is an increase, how much will it be? That's pretty uncertain, too. At this moment there's feeling in the House that the boost ought to be a flat 12½ per cent on everyone. That will bring the whole business up to August or into August. And after that the members of the Senate's Finance committee, with their staff of experts, will meet to decide what they think the tax should be. More weeks taken up. Then their experts will draw up a bill. Then the Senate committee's bill will go up to the full Senate for debate and vote. The Senate doesn't act fast, and since there's no limit on Senate Debate, more weeks may go by. Once the House and Senate have both voted, more time will be used up ironing out their differences until both can agree on a single bill. So, all in all, that tax increase WASHINGTON—Lucas of Illinois moored out on the Duke and Windsor at a Stork walked in. The baffled host, businessman Charlie didn't know it, but been nursing a bit against Senator Keffauver blames his defeat and potent position as Senior leader on Keffauver crime probe which caused the Illinois elections. Kefauver had been other table in the S but was invited to join exclusive party given for and Duchess of Winemaker embarrassment start Senator and Mrs. showed up in street since everyone else wiling "black tie" event To make matters worse seated Mrs. Kefauver, Duke's table, but crowd faeuver in at the Duchie where Lucas also hap be sitting. The naive N businessman apparently that all Senators were didn't realize that fe be bitter in Washington. Eyeing Kefauver sound popped up from his stetered something about an early train and stalk likely, that Congress will fiddle away this whole year without voting an increase. At the rate it's going, an increase in taxes seems hardly likely before Oct. 1. And if there is an increase, how much will it be? That's pretty uncertain, too. At this moment there's feeling in the House that the boost ought to be a flat 12½ per cent on everyone. But that may be changed, up or down, when the full House acts and, after that, when the Senate goes to work on it. It was last Feb. 2, when President Truman sent Congress a message asking for higher taxes to pay for re-arming. On Feb. 5, the House Ways and Means committee, which always has the job of starting the ball rolling on taxes, began public hearings to let all sides have their say, including government experts. The committee finished its hearing early in April. Then for weeks the members, with the help of staff experts, met behind closed doors to figure out what a higher tax should be. That committee has finished its work. Now its experts will have to draw up a bill, containing the ideas of the committee members. That may take a couple of weeks. Then the bill will go to the full House for debate and vote. That may not be over until around the end of June. Not until then will the Senate begin work. Its Finance committee will start hearings after the full House has voted. Those hearings may last four to six weeks. Then the Senate committee's bill will go up to the full Senate for debate and vote. The Senate doesn't act fast, and since there's no limit on Senate Debate, more weeks may go by. Once the House and Senate have both voted, more time will be used up ironing out their differences until both can agree on a single bill. So, all in all, that tax increase isn't likely before some time in the fall. But if you're wondering what that 12½ per cent would do to you—since that's what House members seem to be thinking about—maybe what follows will help. You'll notice from the figures that it will take an awfully big bite out of the rich fellows, so much that a man with $500,000 income would wind up with only $50,000, or only $8000 more than a man with $100,000 income. The figures given below are for a married man with two dependents. The first figure is his net income (that is, after deductions for expenses); the second is his present tax; and the third figure, in parentheses, shows what his tax would be under the 12½ per cent increase. $3000—$120 ($135); $5000—$520 ($585); $10,000—$1592 ($1791); $15,000—$2900 ($3263); $20,000—$4464 ($5022); $25,000 — $6268 ($7052); $50,000—$18,884 ($21,-245); $100,000—$51,912 ($58,401); $500,000 — $402,456 ($450,000); $1,000,000—$857,456 ($900,000). (In case you check those figures and get puzzled by some of those in the highest bracket, remember that those people can't be taxed more than 90 per cent of their income.)

Arthur Lewis ning a great display of re 75 Years Ago Fred Athearn, the Addisonian local editor of the Gazette has gone to partake of the waters (?) of the hot springs of San Juan Capistrano. The present cloudy weather has had a bad effect in the apiary business. Instead of leaving the hives and skirmishing for their food as they ought to do, the bees stay at home and consume the stock on hand. The benefits of competition are truly great. We learn that before the Arizona and New Mexico stage line was in existence it cost $85 for stage fare from Los Angeles to Prescott, but now the fare has been reduced owing to the opposition, to $29. Otto Evers will open his new saloon the "Independent Depot Saloon," on Friday. He will in a short time open a restaurant at his house. It is expected that the business of securing the right of way for the Cajon ditch will be furnished in a few days and the legal proceedings necessary to condemn the land will also occupy but a short time. Advertisements calling for bids to construct the ditch will be published about the latter part of the present month. The second number of the "Tidal Wave" has reached us. We take occasion to compliment the editor. Judge Wiseman on the brilliant scintillations which emanate from his pen. No one can doubt that he spends his days with Addison and his nights with Stéele. The steamship firm of Goodall, Nelson and Perkins has been dissolved. Mr. Christopher Nelson drawing out, and Edwin Goodall taking his place, the name will heareafter be Goodall, Perkins and Co. 50 Years Ago That Anaheim will have the greatest celebration of the Fourth ever held in the history of Orange county is now practically assured. The celebration committee, composed of 50 of the leading citizens of the northern portion of the county, have buckled down to work in earnest. The money collected now approaches $1000, and it will be expended with the single purpose in view of entertaining our visitors as handsomely as this rare and radiant old town can find it possible to do. Anaheim will be in its best bib and tucker and will hold out the glad hand to all those finding themselves within her gates. A barbecue of 45 fat and juicy mutton, leaves heads by the score and pork and beef will be provided sufficient to meet the needs of thousands. No one will be permitted to go away hungry from the feast. Seats and tables will be provided for all. A thousand loaves of bread have been ordered, and all 25 Years Ago Hereafter, when a motor lates one of the city's laws and Judge Stark assists fine against him, the most collected will be used except for the improvement of streets. In accordance with state law which took effect October, 1925. The city last Thursday night sent the transfer of all money paid in this way from the fund to the street Improvement funds. The amount accounted since that date is $4165. Manager Price's appointment officers to serve for the year were approved by the They included W. J. Lake office formerly known as collector; E. P. Hapgood, clginer; R. P. Tompkins, bld inspector; V. W. Hannum, power plant; W. L.

Lakemann cently appointed to the police partment turned in his reelection... WASHINGTON—Ex-Sen. Scot Lucas of Illinois moodily walked out on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor at a Stork club dinner the other night—after Tennessee's crime-busting Sen. Estes Kefauver walked in. The baffled host, New York businessman Charlie Cushing didn't know it, but Lucas had been nursing a bitter grudge against Senator Kefauver. He blames his defeat and loss of his potent position as Senate majority leader on Kefauver's Chicago crime probe which came during the Illinois elections. Kefauver had been at another table in the Stork club, but was invited to join the exclusive party given for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The embarrassment started when Senator and Mrs. Kefauver showed up in street clothes, since everyone else was wearing "black tie" evening dress. To make matters worse, Cushing seated Mrs. Kefauver at the Duke's table, but crowded Kefauver in at the Duchess' table, where Lucas also happened to be sitting. The naïve New York businessman apparently thought that all Senators were pals and didn't realize that feuds can be bitter in Washington. Eyeing Kefauver sourly, Lucas popped up from his seat, muttered something about catching an early train and stalked out of The diplomatic significance can only be guessed, but Soviet military counselor Nikolai Vladykin dropped a Korean peace hint at a Washington embassy party the other evening. The No. 3 man in the Soviet Embassy was chatting aimlessly with an American, who asks that his name not be used. But as the subject got around to the Korean war, Vladykin commented that it was "very bad." He admitted that the destruction in Korea was even worse than Russia suffered in World War II. "There must be an end. How can we end it?" asked the American. "It seems to me that the terms of the trimmings of a grand barbecue feast will be free to all.

Yet Truman's own air co-ordinating committee, made up of Truman's own appointees, has secretly ruled otherwise, and are trying to keep this information from the public. Chairman of the Truman air co-ordinating committee is Del Rentzel, Undersecretary of Commerce in charge of transportation. Yet the air co-ordinating committee has just prepared a confidential paper. No. 93/1A, which flatly comes out instead for the airline lobby's policy of secrecy. This column has obtained a copy of the confidential ACC paper, which bluntly recommends leaving "the government in control of the degree of disclosure ... even to the extent of preventing all disclosure of subsidies if circumstances justified." At present airline subsidies are hidden in the postal grants, paid out to the big airlines for carrying the mail. Pan American Airways alone received $40,000,000 in mail pay last year. However, the public has no idea how much was a legitimate charge for flying the mail and how much was pure gravity at the taxpayers' expense. Figured on the basis of weight alone, the post office paid Pan American nearly four times above the passenger rate. Merry-Go-Round Price Boss Mike DiSalle gets comfort from a quotation attributed to famed editor Herbert Bayard Swope. It reads: "I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure—try to please everybody." Rabble-rouser Gerald L. K.

One of his jobs—believe it or not—was to select the government's advisory committees on rent enforcement! -Colony QuipsBy the Gazette Farm Editor SPEAKING AND THINKING as a California valencia grower let us ask ourselves this question: What is our price anticipation for the valencias now beginning to move to market? Have you, as a grower, put on your thinking cap and decided what you think should be your MONEY return for those beautiful valencias hanging on your trees. You can bet your life that the upper crust "hired help" know what they will have from you for working for you. The big difference here is that the "hired help" already have contracts which they KNOW will pay them off. You as a grower will get what is left. Now there is nothing really wrong about these boys getting a big chunk of dough. There is also nothing wrong about them KNOWING for sure they will be paid off. What we want to know is this: Is there anything wrong for a grower to have a floor price for valencia oranges? There is nothing wrong as far as we can see. Can this be done? The answer here is an unqualified and loud yes. This all can be easily proven—BEYOND THE SHADOW OF A DOUBT. THE NEXT THING then is to find out if California citrus growers want to have a floor price for their oranges. Or would they rather drift along and take what people like Nesbit's offer. Any California valencia grower who has anything to do with any-body who handles anything made by Nesbit's had better tell the story about the $35 a ton price Nesbit's is offering the California grower for fruit. We better make that an issue. If 75 per cent of California orange producers insisted that none of our fruit would be sold for less than cost of productin plus a profit then that could be done. Just think that over. It is the truth. It can be done. It has been done. We in California have the machinery at hand to put a "floor" into being almost over flight. Why, in the name of goodness, don't we growers insist upon it? It might be opposition from the Exchange. It might be opposition from "Florida experts" like our friend Mr. Jack Prizer of Fultonton. air of casualness as I could muster. Two girls walked by, and believe it or not, one said, "isn't he tweedy?" and the other answered, "how tweedy can you get?" Well, there I was—tweedy at last. Isn't it odd sometimes how life gives you an easy springboard to happiness just when the world seems to be closing in on you? Dozens of people come up to me now and say, "you're getting tweedier every day." And they never suspect it isn't really me. It's just the desperately casual way I have of smoking my new pipe. I keep it lit all the time. "But you've got to take that pipe out of your face when you go to bed," Frances insists. "Nobody cares whether you look tweedy when you're asleep." There are some penalties to pay for looking so tweedy. At night my mouth tastes like I had been chewing razor blades. And in the morning it tastes like the razor blades had rusted. There was also the time I bumped into a door. A pipe-smoking friend of mine—tweedy-looking fellow, too—saw me standing there with a strangled look and only the bowl of the pipe sticking out of my mouth. "Take a tip from me," he said. "You're smoking that pipe too deep." Oh, well. It's fun to be tweedy. Who cares about a few broken tonsils? But I do wish my wife would drop that new nickname she thought up for me. It's hard to feel real tweedy when somebody calls you "tweedy-pie." Any California valencia grower who has anything to do with anybody who handles anything made by Nesbit's had better tell the story about the $35 a ton price Nesbit's is offering the California grower for fruit. We better make that an issue. If 75 per cent of California orange producers insisted that nohe of our fruit would be sold for less than cost of productin plus a profit then that could be done. Just think that over. It is the truth. It can be done. It has been done. We in California have the machinery at hand to put a "floor" into being almost over flight. Why, in the name of goodness, don't we growers insist upon it? It might be opposition from the Exchange. It might be opposition from "Florida experts" like our friend Mr. Jack Prizer of Fullerton who told, a year or so ago, of the utter futility of making that slop, frozen orange concentrate, for money. Mr. Prizer was, not for the first time either, one hundred per cent wrong. A YFAR OR SO AGO the propaganda line from the Exchange was that Florida Mutual was a "bust" and they laughed it off. They were one hundred per cent wrong and not for the first time either. Now they know better. But they won't take it up. They just seem to us to be unable to measure up to their capabilities and duties. They represent such a large segment of the industry that they must accept the responsibility for the California growers return. They run the prorate, they make it include intra-state shipments and hardly one per cent of their growers know anything about it. They take control of the lemon "by-products" deal with hardly any growers knowing what is going on. And they cannot side-step the responsibility of grower returns being under cost of production.
