HemOrrhagic disease is a new

a few scattered cases in 1852. the
disease has spread so that it is now

not known. And, no medicine or
feed ingredient has been found that
will check outbreaks.
The disease is characterized BY
many hemorrhages throughout the
body. Birds become very anemic.

Dear Friends:
AS I told you last week, Satur-
day, Decoration Day, we were
scheduled to go on shish-ka-bob
picnic. Friends Of ours, Captain
and Mrs. Leonard Carmel Of New
York City have been with us ever
since we left MacDill, Tampa, Flo
rida. This was kinda a farewell
party. They are headed for WASH
ingtOn State after this school and
mutual friends of ours, First Lieut..
and Mrs. Claud Peters, also from
New York, are going with us to
Forbes, Topeka, Kansas, so the
six of us had the picnic together.
Maybe many of you will remember
that the last picnic we went on was
IN Houston, Texas, at the San JAG
into battle-ground and Hayes stood
up during the whole affair, afraid
of ants, sand on his food, etc. This
time we had a picnic bench and
table, barbecue, ETC., all ours,
courtesy of William Land Park,
here in Sacramento. Len made the
shish-ka-bObs by placing cubed
beef, bacon and onion alternately
on a skeWer and then roasts this
over the fire. We had brought hard
rolls along, plus salads and such to
eat with this treat. It was Just
wonderful and if you try it this
summer I'm sure you'll agree. The
real shish-ka-bobs that one buys
in restaurant on flaming skewer
is marinated lamb. After the pic
mic, while the children were play
ing hide and seeks, the grown
ups, played baseball. Hayes was
pitcher and / was Outfielder, which
necessitated running a great deal

Sunday, after church, we went
to Big Trees, California Here there
is grove of SequOia gianteas, or
big trees, or redwoods. Yosemite
is really the place to see redwoods
IN California, but it is quite a drive
from Sacramento and we have
never taken a weekend off to see
that park, but Big Trees is closer
and that's why we went there Sun
day. One tree, that had fallen and
steps had been built I'D to the re-
naming trunk or stump of it, mea-
sured 19 feet across. That was the
diameter of most of the trees; some
were 80 feet. Needless to say the
children were greatly impressed
with such massive trees.

home and drove through Murpbys.

Federal TAX SHARE HTTCE


Present tax laws put state and local gov
ernments in the position of poor relations
waiting for handOut from their rich Uncle.
The Federal government will take 78 per
cent OF all taxes collected throughout the
nation in fiscal 1858, leaving % per cent to
be divided between state and local govern
ments.
By contrast, 40 years ago state and local
governments received 81 per cent of all tax
revenue; the Federal government 33 per
cent The huge increase in the Federal share
OF taxes shows plainly why the states have
to depend on Federal grants-in-aid for an
amount equal to one-fOurth of the revenue
they raise by their own taxes. It's high time
state and local governments recovered tax
resources that will enable them to re-assume
the obligations and responsibilities thew re-
celved under the Constitution.

PRICED OUT OF THE MARKET
Secretary Of Agriculture Benson has told
Congress that there should be more fexi-
blllty in the agricultural price support pro-
grams along with less running to Wash
ington" at every reverse. He then made this
wise observation, ''It is possible, think. to
have support so high that you may price
product out of the market"
1t is one thing to have a support pro-
gram to meet emergencies and prevent ex-
treme hardship. It is a very different thing
to have program designed to keep farm
prices at extremely high levels, regardless
OF what the supply and demand situation
may be. That, in essence lis Mr.. Benson's
posltIon--and it is the only position which
can promote the long-run welfare and prog
feSs OF farmers or any other group.

THE SENATE SAYS mo" TO
STANDBY CONTROLS

A short time ago the Senate passed a
mOdlfed extension of the Defense Production
Act. One important amendment was approv-
ed. This amendment bars the President from
imposing a 9O-day emergency freeze on the
economy unless Congress first declares war
or authorizes such controls by concurrent res
Olution.
In other words, the Senate turned thumbs
down on the standby control idea.
What this means, in all probability, is that
price and wage controls are dead as the Phar-
aOhs and will remain dead, short of major
emergency. No one should regret their pass
ing. When the official hearings were held by
House and Senate on control legislation ex-
pert witness after expert witness appeared
and described how burdensome, wasteful.
costly, and stultifying they were. Some of
the most effective of these witnesses came
from the field of retailing, where the controls
were most OnerOuS and most damaging to the
long-term interests of the consuming public.
At long last, we are again living in a free
and nightly competitive ecOnOnly-the kind of
economy that encourages initiative and risk
taxing, that offers maximum opportunity to
all, and that rewards good service to the pub
lie That's the only kind of economy that is
vital, youthful and progressive.

MORE CATTLE COME TO MARKET
This year, according to the best estimates,
cattle and calf slaughter will total 33, 900 900
100000 more than in 1852. And increases
of 2,5O0,000 are fOreseen for 1854 and again
in 1855.
We are pretty much a nation of beef-eat-
ers, so that comes as good news. And equal

THINGS ARE CHANGING GRADUALLY
IN WASHINGTON

Things are changing, gradually but sure
ly, IN Washington today. That old source of
apparently endless mamma, the u. S. Trea-
sury, is taking on a new look
U. S. News & World Report opened a fea-
tufe article on what is happening with these
words, Getting something for nothing out
OF the government isn't as easy as it once
was.
The change will be hitting home before
long. 1t will mean fewer services of many
kinds, less federal money for hospitals, pow
er, Army bases, airpOrts.
Effects will be felt by farmers, business
men, politicians, workers-just about every
body, including 50,000000 taxpayers"
Some of the cuts will involve very large
sums OF money. Some will involve relatively
small sums. But whether the scale be big or
little, the pruning is reaching into almost ev-
cry government Office.
U. s. News gave summary of where cost
reductions may be expected. Here are some
examples:
ELECTRIC POWER: Federal activities in
this field will be curbed. There will be fewer.
Il any, OF the extremely costly multi-purpose
cams which were sc, strongly favored by the
RooSeVelt-Truman administrations.
HEALTH: Fewer government financed
hospitals will be built, and there will be a
reduction in grants for public health projects.
Government research into cancer, heart dis
ease and other killing and disabling afflc-
tlons Will continue, but won't be expanded.
WEATHER: The service will be continued
as now, but 100 stations will be closed
HOUSING: The program will be cut back
substantially.
RESEARCH: The government will be less
active in this field, will spend less money.
AIR TRAVEL: Expansion of governments
Dullt facilities and aids to air travel will slow
There is strong sentiment for charging the
commercial airlines for the use of these facil-
1leS. Cities and towns will have small chance
to obtain federal funds for building new air.
ports
COMMERCIAL SERVICES: There will be a
reduction in the technical, information and
census services for business organizations.
The point is that the current economy
QflVe IS all-incluSive, regardless of what
groups it affects. 1t is not based on the idea
OF economy for the few-it is based on the
idea OF economy for all. 1t will be resisted
and strongly, by individuals and Organiza-
tlons which have long been used to getting
Tree federal funds. The heat will be turned
on Congress to keep the money flowing ont
however, U. S. News observes, "This time. q
though. the men in Congress are in a mood
to cut back. Change is on it's way"
mat change, of course, is being forced bv
the fact that our fiscal set-up is in about
as pad a shape as anyone can imagine. The
new administration knew it would be a
mighty tough prOblem-and it has turned
OUT 10 be even tougher than was expected
Inc time has come when, fguratively speak
ing, the nlckelS must be watched no less than
tne dollars, for the people are demanding tax
reduction.
