GIVES THIRD OF BILLION
(San BernardinO SUM

(San BernardinO SUM
Californians paid the total sum Of
S3l4,7O2,1S in taxes to the federal gov
ernment during 1888, it is announced by
the treasury department.
Nearly third of billion dollars!
That figure is impressive even in these
days of staggering sums in the federal
expense ledger,
The federal government takes more
from the taxpayers of California than
the state government We do not in
clude in the latter the taxes of local
governments.
Frequently California delegations must
90 to Washington and stand hat in hand
and beg bureaucratic heads to give back
to this state some of the money taken by
the heavy hand of the federal tax col
lector.
For instance, there is the little matter
of decision by federal agencies at Wash
ington that men and women on WPA in
San Bernardno county cannot receive as
high a wage scale as is paid in Orange
county.
The people Of San Bernardino county
must submit to this injustice because
Washington is very considerable dis
tance away and nobody in Washington
cares very much what the people of San
Bernardino county may think.
But if this matter of fixing WPA wage
scales were the responsibility of a state
agency. the voice of San Bernardino
county would be heard in Sacramento.
California pours out its millions in
federal taxation and is grateful for the
crumbs that come back from Washing
ton.

After this, shorter and fattei

IMPERIAL VALLEY
RAILROAD STEPCHILD

Not very long ago Imperial Valleys
railroad service was curtailed sharply,
to the detriment of business here and to
the discomfort of travellers to and from
the valley. Protests went unheeded,
partly because protesting agencies were
told a supplemental bus service would
rectify any harm done.
Now, with the valley just realizing
that this bus service fell far short of
making up for the original train service,
a new curtailment is proposed. 1t was
to have gone into effect Monday, put
immediate protests delayed it pending
a hearing At that hearing, the valley
should voice its collective opinion in no
uncertain words.
The railroad takes thousands OF dol
lars annually out of the valley through
rates charged on vegetable shipments.
The Southern Pacific itself has charac-
terized this one of its principal shipping
sources. While it may be true that, IN
the railroads bookkeeping, vegetable
shipping and other services in the valley
are different items it should be true
that the Importance of this area from
one angle deserves better consideration
from another
1t may we'll be that the valleys rail
problem will not be solved until main
line runs through here; at any event it
is certain that this area is entitled to
greater consideration of passenger, mail
and small-freight needs than it has re-
ceived.
