CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Communion Services will be con-
Quoted on Sunday in all hurches
of Christ, Scientist. The subject OF
the Lesson Sermon is Sacrament
and the Golden Text is from the
Psalms: Create in me a clean
heart, o God; and renew right
spirit within me-
One of the Bible citations pre-
sents these passages from john:
There were together Simon Peter,
and Thomas called Didymus, and
Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, and
the sons of zebedee, and two other
of his disciples. Simon Peter saith
unto them. I go a fishing. They
say unto him, We also 60 With
thee. They went forth, and entered
into ship Immediately; and that
night they caught nothing. But
when the morning was now come,
Jesus stood on the shore and
he said unto them, Cast the net
on the right side of the ship, and
We shall find. They cast therefore,
and now they were not able to draw
it for the multitude of fishes"
The Lesson-Sermon includes also
these statements from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy: Convinced
of the fruitlessness of their toll in
the dark and wakened by their
Masters voice, they changed their
methods, turned away from ma
terial things, and cast their net
on the right side. Discerning Christ.
Truth, anew on the shore Of time,
they were enabled to rise some

Heavy Tax Burden Threat
To State, Declares Law

said, sis that the people have voted
for hundreds of state services and
we're compelled to provide the
money. The public must realize the
serious situation, and demand less
from their government, or expect a
continually increased tax load, and
an even more serious situation be-
cause of forcing business to leave
California"
TAXES INCREASING ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
EVERY TWO YEARS
In 1887 Governor Merriam pre-
sented a budget of S450,0 000." he
said, land in 1899, because of the
increased demands on government.
governor Olson was forced TO ask
for a budget of 1857 100000, and
that budget was founded on the
cost of government demanded by
the voters"
II don't believe California can
stand a tax load mounting at the
rate of slOo 100000 every two years"
RELIEF-
THE problem of relief is second
only to the entire tax dilemma.
he continued.
Every year we see more people
dependent upon us for sustenance.
No one regardless of political affili-
alton, questions the necessity of
keeping them alive. Thus the mat
ter of what to do consumed much
of the legislatures time and ef-
fort"
He explained that, with economy
! as the theme of the session, the
two houses baked at complying
with Governor Olson's demand fol-
70 million dollars for relief, ane
Imperial Valley press., 1939-07-07

planned to allow 81 million as a
temporary fund to be used while
the problem was being given full
study.
Governor Olson demanded at
least so millions. on grounds that
much is needed to start his Pro-
duction- -For-Use program" Sena-
tor Law said. I'VE refused to pro-
vide this because we don't know
what the governors program is and
he hasn't defined it to the satisfac-
ton of the legislators
The relief bill, as passed, was
compromise for 35 million to be
used only until next year by which
time committees representing the
assembly, senate, governor, and re-
lief administration will have time
to provide definite and intelligent
proposals from which an accept
able plan may be selected, he ex-
planned.
1T is costing California II cents
of every dollar to administer relief"
Senator Law declared, land think
that is too much. To guard against
continued heavy costs, the present
temporary allotment provides a
ceiling on administrative expense"
CIVIL SERVICE
The senator strongly condemned
waste evident in many administra-
tive offices. Some departments, he
said, are overloaded with employees
and others are undermanned.
THE spoils system is not the
most efficient method he said,
"but l am not one to advocate the
abolition of civil service. Our sys-
tenn can, however, be greatly i'm
proved and certainly should be i'm
