MERRY CHRISTMAS!

What is tive want to make this q
merry, Christmas? The return of the
men and women of the armed forces
and those who are engaged in wal
work? Yes, think VIC all want this
first; not cnly because it will bring
them back to us, but because it will
riean indirectly that peace is here.
We want the settlement of diff
cult world disputes: the Polish con-
trovelsy, TIE Italian fiasco, the
tragedy Of Greece, with their impii-
cations for future peace or war. Per-
haps q little more courage would
have prevented these situations.
An organization to guarantee the
peace? Can peace be "guaran-
teed?" I doubt It, but we can try,
and every step can be a step for
ward, if we move with courage and
on the histoi ic and world-recognized
policies OF the United States. We
can bring happy new years to the
other nations and / am convinced
no other nation can do it, and ]
am equally convinced we can do it
single handed. This is one problem
the solution of which, easily demon
strable, rests in the efforts of the
people to have it solved.
Why is this? Because the merri-
ness of the Christmases to come,
and of the new years, rests in the
hearts of men, and not in the pow
ers of governments.
We can think CT this now. in ad-
vance of the crises to follow, when
the tests will come of what is in
our hearts, and of the sincerity OF
cur desires for peace, and for liber-
ties, and for good government at
home and abroad.
Don't forget the "at home!' Meats
are still moats and beams are still
beams. We have in recent months
made a most momentous decision.
We have set the plCw in a long fur
row; there is no turning back now.
+ say here again that what happens
to the United States. "and to the
republic for which it stands" will
not rest in Washington, (although
the visible signs will appear there),
but in the hearts of the citizens of
this country. 1t is thought-provok-

State Lawmakers
Favor Keeping
Up Tax SIashes
BY LLOYD LAPHAM

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 81. (UP)-
California legislators are almost
unanimously in favor of continuing
for another two years tax reduc-
tions similar to those approved in
1943, United Press survey showed
Thursday.
However, many legislators are
dissatisfied with the present 2R per
cent sales tax rate, and several be-
lieve the 3 cents a gallon gasoline
tax should be increased to bring
the states highways, neglected dur
ing the war, up to modern stand
ards.
1ne 1943 legislature approved a
tax reduction program supposed to
amount to about $70,O0O,O0O for the
present two years but which will ex-
ceeo that figure because of greater
than expected business activity.
CUTS MADE
The sales tax cut from to 21a
per cent; former business franchise
tax rates were cut by Is per cent
and the personal income tax rates
were lowered and exemptions in
creased At the same time one
fifth of sales tax collections and 10
per cent of business franchise taxes
We're earmarked for a pCs5-wr con-
struction fund.
All CT The reductions except the
lowering of income tax rates expire
Gil June 30, 1943
Only a couple OF state senators
ano assemblymen covered in the
survey objected TO continuation of
the income tax and business fran
chiSe tax reductions. A few said
that even further reductions could
be made. A senator and an as
semblyman said it might be possible
to repeal entirely the personal in
come tax.
However, nearly a thirc of the
legislators said they believed the
sales tax rate could be restored to
3 per cent, possibly with restaurant
meals exempted, and few said it
might be possible to cut the rate
tic 2 per cent.
WOULD BOOST 1T
ASsemblyman Fred Kraft, (RD 3,
San Diego, said he believed the
sales tax rate could be increased to
y3i2 or 4 per cent.
Senator Chris N Jesperson, (RO f.,
Atascadero, ASsemblyman r. Fred
Price, CR), Ontario, and Assembly,
man Lloyd Lowrey, CD, Rrmsey,
pumped for an increase in the gas
oline tax to finance additional
highway work.
Price suggested that the gaso-
line tax be increased to Az cents
d gallon to finance limited access
highways, or freeWays. A somewhat
similar recommendation has been
made by state chamber of COM
merce committee.

Aged Pfcspector
Gets YuIe Gift
Hears From Home

YOUNTVILLE, Cal, Dec. 81. CUP
John Henry Pomeroy. 98year- ole
soldier of fortune, prospector ano
Indian fighter, Thursday had hi:
best Christmas present-one foi
which he has waited Al years.
Through the efforts of Captain w
E. Merritt, head Of the veterans
home here where Pomeroy lives. the
aged man learned he has family
consisting of one daughter, five
grandchildren and three great
grandchildren.
And Merry Christine letter
was on its way to him from the fam
lily, forgiving him for the wander
ings that separated him from three
daughters in 1900 when he sue
cumbed to the lure of western gold.
GREETS GOOD NEWS
Pomeroy looked up from a West
ern Stories magazine to remark
That's fine when a United Press
report was relayed to him revealing
that Skip Tracers, New York Or
ganization, had uncovered the fam
lily at Me.ritt'S request.
The one-time Indian fighter left
his Bristol, Connecticut, home and
three daughters when his wife died,
to look for gold in the Klcndike.
and found enough to settle down
at the Hotel Lankershim in San
Francisco and shoot pool fer Is
years,
Last year he entered the veterans
hospital, and eventually confided to
Merritt that he would kind of like
to know what happened to my
girls"
ONE DAUGHTER LIVING
The investigation which followed
uncovered one living daughter, Mrs.
Mary Clidence, 68. Orlando, Florida.
In addition there are five grand
children and three great-grand-
children.
Hes lovable guy" Merritt said.
HE spends most of his time reading
and hardly let the news interfere
with his story But he's thinking
about that letter now and the idea
of getting acquainted with the large
family.
Its a nice Christmas present for
him."
