A TAX PROBLEM

(San Diego Union)
All of San Diego countys problems,
as a result of the war, are not concerned
with feeding and housing the great IN
flux of population into this area. There
is the matter of the rapid withdrawal OF
valuable land from the tax rolls as 1t Is
taken over by the federal government for
military purposes.
This has reached an astounding point
In the last 10 years, 174,610 acres, with
an assessed valuation of $12 2,591 ,225, have
been taken off the rolls. In addition, be-
tween S70,OO0,000 and SS0,00O,00O worth
of personal property has been similarly
removed. And, to make it worse, much
of the land is needed for the production
of food.
The removal of this land and other
property from the tax rolls of this coun-
ty has not brought about corresponding
reduction in the demands for tax funds.
On the contrary, these demands have
been increased, for with larger popu-
lation additional facilities are manda-
tory.
While the war is on little or nothing
can be done about it. But it is serious
and will be more so later on, and this
already has become one of the communi-
tvs major postwar problems.

Rise Remark X

jenkins. The idea would be to
charge the retailers $l.58, plus the
shipping costs, and then we would
give them in cash, 40 cents for each
wrench so the wrench can still
be sold for ST. go. Some of the econo-
mics classes in the Eastern colleges
worked it all out. 1t is a much bet
ter approach to the problem than
setting a price to cover cost, plus
profit, and under a competitive Sys-
tenn.
jenkins, thoughtfully: You're in
little deep for me, B. O. Perhaps
I had better just get your instruc-
tions on the employees We'll need,
and then run along.
Crate: I haven't had time to
work that out, but I'd say We'll
need about 5000 new employees.
jenkins, caught completely off
guard: Did you say 5000? The fig
ures I have, and using all the re-
cent improvements in machine tools,
and line ASSEMBLE, show that Well
need 1000 at the outside; less than
that to start.
Cratic: All wrong, Jenkins. To be-
gin with, each employe must work
on his own schedule. Then we have
to allow for stoppages, and strikes
and abSenteeism. Every employee
has the right to strike.
jenkins, 'irritated: Nobody is even
talking about that This plant has
never had any labor troubles, even
during the difficult days of 1885
to 1914. Since the administration
! changed, we've had no troubles at
all. What I'm talking about is three
men to do the work we figure one
can do. Even overlooking for the
moment that we couldn't keep 5000
busy, how about the cost of making
the wrenches? Our profits would
/ be wiped out. and more

FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

Fred Bright must have looked down
from his own special spot and smiled
when the news came up that the execut-
ors of his estate had invested so heavily
in the future of America.
Three hundred thousand is lot of
money but there is no doubt that had Mr..
Bright been alive today he would not
have had his money go into other chan
nels. The 100000 went into war bonds
to protect the land which Mr.. Bright
had fought for and loved
There were few greater humanitarians
than Fred Bright, who gave freely when
the cause was good one
And the touch of showmanship which
accompanied the purchase of the large
amount of bonds would have also delight
ed him. His sense of the dramatic was
almost as great as his desire to do good
Purple shirts and extraordinary wear
ing apparel were one of the characters
tics of the great man who made and lost
several fortunes in Imperial Valleys
greatest gamble, the fruit and vegetable
industry.
Mr. Bright fought for his country Che
was a Spanish-American war veteran)
and was always ready to back it to the
hilt.
The bonds were bought at a time when
it looked like Ell Centre and Imperial
county would not reach their respective
goals in this greatest of all bond drives.
1t was that single purchase that put both
the city and the county over the top and
helped insure Americas safety.
It's the way he would have wanted 1t.

AIRSIDE HOT DOG STANDS

Nevada State JournaD
If airplane development in postwar
days brings stratospheric touring, the
American will miss one of his most
cherished institutions, the hot dog.
The hot dog was not made for tourists
flying in the stratosphere, according to
information from a United States Army
Air Force station in England.
Frederick Graham, writing from the
air station for the New York Times, says
that the combat crews of the American
Air Force are leaving frankfurters, cab
bage and sauerkraut, along with other
foods, severel, alone They don't want
any part of them.
Mr.. Graham points out that internal
chemistry in man undergoes many odd
changes as he goes to or beyond 10000
feet altitude where most heavy bombing
is done. Food that would be easily digest
ed at sea level, he reports 'revolts vio-
lently against the gastric juices. Cab
bage, sauerkraut, frankfurters and some
other foods create gas on the stomach
which is painful almost beyond endur-
ance at high attitudes because of the low
er air pressure"
So the American air tourist after the
war will have to do without the hot dog
should planes fly in the stratosphere.
But the helicopter? 1t flies at lower
altitude, and every rooftop in some cities
may harbor a hot dog stand. The pace
may be slower, but the airside hot dog
stands will be most inviting.

MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER

The man who came to dinner is moving
away. He is, as almost everybody knows,
Harry Hopkins, a former New York So
cial worker Mr.. Hopkins dropped in at
the big white house at 1900 Pennsylvania
Ave. one weekend in May, 1910. His host,
an old acquaintance named Roosevelt,
is supposed to have remarked in that
casual way one has with weekend guests
who always heretofore have departed
with normal promptitude: Come on,
Harry, send for another suitcase and stay
on"
Harry did. Week after month he lin
gered. He courted from his temporary
abode, was married there, and his wife
moved in. Three years passed, and four
months, and five days. Then, at last, 1t
became known that Harry had hired
home of his own in Georgetown and was
going to move out.
Well, so long, Harry. Come again.
It's really our house, you know. We keep
it in repair and pay for its upkeep. We
let your host live there so he will be near
his work. We enjoyed having you with
u.s. Do come again, when we have another
war.

BY Congressman JOHN PHILLIPS

Our private little play continues
this week. It's title is WASHING.
TON PRESCRIPTION" Last week,
when we got to the end of the
column, Mr.. jenkins, the plant
manager of the Left Handed Mon
key Wrench corporation, had just
asked Mr.. B. o. Cratic, its some
what newly appointed manager,
about his plans to expand the bus
mess much more than the directors
had authorized Cratic had just
told jenkins that he didn't have
the right economic and social view
point" Jenkins was suggesting
mildly that maybe the company
hasn't the money either"
Cratic replies, still more coldly
than before: Another old concep-
ton, jenkins. I haven't time to in
struct you in the new theories on
money. Just let's say, that money
means nothing. We spend it to
make the wfencheS somebody buys
them; the money turns over. It's all
our own money anyway.
jenkins, dryly: I think some of
it may belong to our creditors.
They'll think SO. (He changes the
Subject) Has the cost department
sent up the new figures on which
to base selling prices?
Cratic: Yes, they're here. don't
like them. l intended to sell the
wrench for S160. The cost depart
ment figures the price, from raw
material to the shipping depart
ment, as S1.586. Add packing and
shipping and we'll be over S160
costs alone.
jenkins: 1t looks as if we will
have to sell it for more than Sl60
Cratic, in some surprise: Oh no
that wouldn't be scientific. The con-
sumer's price must never change
Even if the costs increase. If worst
comes to the worst, we'll have tC
subsidize the retailer.

the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

It's great day for grandmothers.
They are needed again. -
And it isn't Just a case of Annie
wanting Mother to keep her kids so
hat she can get war job or 60 to
stay with her husband who Is away
1t an Army camp. -
Grandma Is needed in industry.
She doesn't have to 60 begging for
job, pretending to be 10 years
Younger than she is. She doesn't
have to dye her hair to try to fool
prospective employer. She doesn't
have to either hide her age or
apologize for it. ,,,l
She is wanted just as she is-50,
so, or possibly 70 years old. She Is
needed so much that the War
Manpower Commission is planning
program to get her into industry
What if she isn't as young as she
used to be? What If she does miss
work occasionally because the years
haven't left her in top physical
condition? What if she isn't quite
as fast at her job as a younger
worker might be? -
There are many jobs In war
plants she can do, and do well.
And she doesn't have to miss work
because she has sick child at
home "a thing that happens often
among young women workers.. And
she isn't so likely to have dis
agreement with her husband at
breakfast that will affect her work
for a whole day. She is settled. and
steady, and there aren't many home
demands on her energy and time, !,
WANTED AGAIN
So she is wanted again, which
makes it great day for her. n
One of the tragedies of the de-
preston years was the fact that
women with gray hair fo,nd 1t SO
hard to get work Nobody seemed
| to want to hire older women. No
one wanted 10 give them chance.
Well, they're needed now. And
the way in which they respond to
the War Manpower Commissions
appeal, and how we'll they handle
their jobs will have something to
do with whether or not they keep
a place for themselves in business
and industrial life. g.D.
