THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) LAST WEEK I mentioned that the 10% federal excise tax on your telephone bill is a tax on a necessity and should no longer be allowed. It was started as a wartime emergency measure back in 1941. Its primary purpose was to limit civilian telephone use, especially of war-loaded long distance lines. Now, 15 years after the war, your phone is the only household utility you pay an excise tax on. It is in the same class as the tax on luxuries, such as furs, jewelry and liquor. Last year this amounted to $74 million from Pacific Telephone Co. customers in the Pacific West or an average of $16 per customer. Next time you talk to your federal legislative representative ask him about this tax. THE BALANCE of this column this week is "on the government". I can't believe it. I'm going to pay my income tax with a smile this year. These paragraphs below came from the federal income tax office. You might get a chuckle from them. A woman wanted a tax clerk to explain the various entries on the Edison Company Has Problem Of Making Electricity Without Smog The problem of making electricity in southern California without making smog, was explained to Orange county newspaper publishers and editors Monday. The newsmen were first taken to the Huntington Beach steam generating plant where they inspected the control room and saw closed circuit television cameras giving them in the control room continuous pictures of the fires in the boilers and pictures of the top of the stack to check for visible plumex. They were then taken to the El Segundo plant for lectures, lunch and additional tours. It was explained to the newsmen that if natural gas were available in quantities sufficient to meet the industrial demands of southern California, the air pollution problems of electric utilities would be much simpler. Natural gas seldom produces a visible plume. Must Use Fuel Oil Since gas is not always available in sufficient quantity and electric power is vital to every hour of every day, fuel oil is burned in these stations as a supplement, to make the fuel supply — the source of electricity — uninterruptible. Here's the Victim Fuel oils contain metallic impurities which form a microscopic-sized ash when burned. This ash, and sulfur gases at times combine with water vapor to form visible plumes. The ash particles and sulfur gases contained in these plumes are well below the maximum limits specified by air pollution control regulations. However, certain atmospheric conditions can cause a more visible release primarily by automobiles, according to the Air Pollution Control District. Millions in Research Edison has been a leader in smog research, having retained experts such as Dr. A. J. Haager Smit of Cal-Tech to direct its research activities and then to develop methods of control. Edison cooperated voluntarily in "Operation Fuel Switch", whereby steam stations make minimum use of fuel oil whenever meterological conditions indicate possible high buildup of air pollutants or when ever a possible smog alert is forecast. The cost to Edison to date for all its air pollution research and related activities to minimize air pollution has been more than $4,000,000. New Gas Line Edison has been using more and more natural gas in its steam stations. Even with growing demands for both electric power and natural gas, it is estimated that about 60 per cent of Edison's fuel will be natural gas in 1959. THE BALANCE of this column this week is "on the government". I can't believe it. I'm going to pay my income tax with a smile this year. These paragraphs below came from the federal income tax office. You might get a chuckle from them. A woman wanted a tax clerk to explain the various entries on the tax form. The clerk was explaining each item. When he came to the deduction for persons 65 and over, he queried. "Is your husband over 65?" "No," she answered, "but he sure acts like it!" Office Auditor: "I cannot see how you qualify as head of a household, Madam." Woman taxpayer: "Why sure I'm head of the household. My husband and my children always do what I say." Note attached to refund tax return; "Would you please send the refund check for our joint return to me, air? My husband has already spent his allowance for the next two weeks." Husband and wife had alternating rounds of being mad and separated and then glad and together throughout the year. At tax filing time, they were on the "glad" side and filed a joint return. (Separate returns would have cost the husband $350 additional tax and the wife would get only $100 refund, for a net tax payment of $250 for the two.) When it came time to pay the joint return tax of only $200, they were in a "mad" cycle. The husband presented $100 at the cashier's window as his half of the liability and suggested his wife pay the balance of $100. At the height of the federal tax filing period, an impatient man demanded in a loud voice that he receive immediate attention in preparing his return. He belowed he was paying the auditor's salary and should be treated accordingly. To prevent further unpleasantness, the other taxpayers let him see the auditor first. You guessed it, the loud one had no Fuel oils contain metallic impurities which form a microscopic-sized ash when burned.

The ash particles and sulfur gases contained in these plumes are well below the maximum limits specified by air pollution control regulations. However, certain atmospheric conditions can cause a more visible plume. Automobiles are Contributors Stack plumes and smog are not synonymous. The combustion in Edison steam plants is so complete that the stack emissions do not contain unburned carbon or hydrocarbons. Smog is formed by reactions between invisible hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides in the presence of sunlight. These are Tony Ezquivel Has Enviable Record In "Service" Work Word has just been received by the Anaheim LULAC Council No. 316, that Tony Ezquivel, Youth Committee and Athletic Chairman of the Council, is To be decorated once again for bravery in action beyond the call of duty during World War II. Ezquivel is one of the highest decorated veterans in the state of California. He has been recognized throughout the state for the type of work he is now undertaking. His career in LULAC dates back to 1946, when he started working with teenagers and young people in the state of Texas. In that state he was responsible for a Boys Club being organized and a recreation hall being built with complete facilities to accommodate more than five-hundred boys of all faiths, nationalities, etc. With some help and co-operation from LULAC Council, district and regional officers and officials from our surrounding cities, he hopes and plans to do something even bigger for the state of California. Ezquivel has a natural helper in this type of work. Mrs. Pia Ezquivel, his wife who be- At the height of the federal tax filing period, an impatient man demanded in a loud voice that he receive immediate attention in preparing his return. He bellowed he was paying the auditor's salary and should be treated accordingly. To prevent further unpleasantness, the other taxpayers let him see the auditor first. You guessed it, the load one had no tax liability. One of the waiting men in line growled, "Did he say he was a taxpayer?" A woman, not liable for filing a federal income tax return, insisted on doing so "cause, I'd rather be in trouble with de Lawd than with Uncle Sam, for de Lawd do forgive." During the course of preparing a return for a taxpayer the tax agent asked if he had any dependents. The taxpayer hesitated as if he didn't understand the question, so the agent rephrased the query, "Do you have a wife, or other dependents?" The taxpayer looked up brightly "Oh yes, he said. 'I have a wife, but you can't put no pendence in 'en.'" In many instances the Internal Revenue Service has been taken to task for its terminology. Attached to one Form 1040 was this comment: "You will please note—on page 5—Instructions—under 'must be reported'—you list gratuities' and under 'should not be reported'—you list 'gifts.' Webster calls these synonymous. Why do you idiots have to try to improve on him?" Ezquivel is sincere, furthermore his efforts have proved the tremendous capabilities he possesses. During the past year as a member of the Anaheim LULAC Council he has organized and managed two baseball teams; he has served as counselor for teen-agers in need, and has done general work to curb juvenile delinquency. At the present time he is engaged in organizing what he calls "The Little LULAC," an organization consisting of youngsters ranging in ages from seven to thirteen years. He is giving most of his evenings calling on parents throughout the community to discuss the possibility of their children joining the "Little LULAC." That is the way he has accomplished most of his tremendous missions, going from door to door. At the recent LULAC annual district convention he was awarded a distinguished service award by the Council's president Tony Schmidt. Yellowstone, the oldest and largest national park in the United States, was established in 1872 on a plateau of the Rocky Mountains. CHARLES W. BELAND Charles W.
