With American Legion to
Bar War Profits' Is Besl
At tha last meeting of the Ameri
can Legion Auxiliary it was announc
ed that Jack Duane Wood, local Sen
ior high school student had won the
Fidao essay contest sponsored by the
local unit. The prize was .
Mrs. Myrtle Olmscheid, of the local
unit Is state chairman for Fidac this
year.
Principal object of the Pldac Is to
"maintain, foster and develop that
spirit of comradeship which rnanl
festod Itself on the battlefields of the
World war and to use that comrade
ship In the cause of peace."
The prize essay entitled "How Can
American Youth Cooperate With the
American Legion and Fidac to remove
the profit motive from war as an
aid to World Peace?" follows:
It la a generally known fact that
the munition manufacturer la the
- greatest profiteer of any war. Since
the last Oreat War, several Investiga
tions of munition firms have been
carried on by our Government, and
In all cases a large profit in these
firms was noted.
The chief problem of the American
. youth Is to take this profit from the
munition manufacturer and In Its
place, put Peace. This Job is a diffi
cult one, and will probably require
a good - many years to accomplish.
Even then Peace will not be defi
nitely restored.
One thing that should and can be
done towards taking the profit from
the munition manufacturer is to al
low government control over all mu
nition firms. This will enable the
Government to make munitions at
cost when they are needed, and If
properly handled, will reduce a great
deal of graft In the munitions busi
ness. If this step were made now It
would greatly simplify the task of
making Peace for tomorrow by the
youths of today.
Another reason for having the Gov
ernment control the munition busi
ness Is that this will avoid the pos
sibility of having some private mu
nition concern create an agitation of
relations between our country and
other countries and, thus causing
war which is the greatest source of
profit for the munition manufac
turer. All countries of the world should
endeavor to break up subsidiary mu
nition companies. This would be a
great Btep toward Peace and would
cut and break down the crime and
munition rackets. Once this Is ac
complished, the only way a Govern-
ment would have of getting muni
tions would be to manufacture them
for themselves or buy them from
other governments. This would prob
ably lower the quantity of muni
tions throughout the world and.
thereby, emphasize more strongly the
want for ever-lasting Peace among
nations.
The American youth cannot help,
as can the adults, but he can advance
theories that are Just as logical as
those now in practice. He can form
organizations for the advancement of
Peace. One of the greatest move
ments in this country would be to
have the American youths Join In or
ganizing a Peace Club. The American
youth doesn't want war, but if mu
nition corporations or bad politics
should cause another, he would be
the first to volunteer to defend his
country.

TRAP SHOOTING
LOOKS EASY BUT
REQUIRES SKILL
It seems the easiest thing In the
world to break clay discs with a shot
gun, but If you have any such belief
Mfdford Gun club officers urge that
you go out to the field where the
big meet la being held and watch the
shooting at close range.
These clay pigeons fly fast, much
faster than you might -expect. Just
try to follow them with your eye,
and then fancy how much more, alert
you'd have to be to follow them with
a gun. A delay of a split second and
the bird Is gone; It's a question of
precise timing as well aa of poise and
sharp sight.
If after watching the shooting you
still think It Is an easy sport, the
best thing to do, say the gunners. Is
to get a shotgun and go out to the
club some day after the meet and
try out your skill. If you shatter the
first bird that flies out from the
trap house, you are sunk, the experts
say, for you will probably spend the
rest of your life trying to keep pace
with that first lucky shot. That's
how field gunners are made, the vet
erans will tell you.
It's Just as bad if you miss the
flrnt shot, for then you will imme
diately realize the game Is not so
easy as It looks, and It would never
do to lay down your gun and admit
you couldn't hit a round disc of clay
that flies out from a little shelter
right in front of your eyes. In all
probability you will want to keep
right on shooting, and In 23 years
the boys will be referring to you aa
a veteran-
Try It out some day, the club offi
cers urge. Get In touch with the
club and arrange for a practice shoot.
It's great fun, even If you don't be
come an ace.

Completion of Taxation Pro
gram Necessary Balance
Budget Is Held Up by
Refusal .of Legislators
By MBLVFL LORD
United Press Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, ' Cal., June 14.
(UP) Completion of the taxation
program necessary to balance the
1930-1937 budget calling for expen
dltures of (376,000,000 was blocked
last night when the assembly refused
passage of a bill levying a state tax
on automobiles.
Needing 54 votes to pass the meas
ure, which has become a key bill in
the revenue program, proponents
were able to muster only 41 votes In
favor of the bill, to 87 against It.
Aaeemblymap Charles Y. Lyon of
Los Angeles, administration floor
leader, gave notice of reconsideration
of the unfavorable vote.
The deadlock was reached after a
determined stand had been taken by
administration leaders ho sought pas
sage of the bill aa a means of ending
the deadlock over taxation measures
which was blocking, adjournment of
the legislature.
Opposition to the measure waa led
by members of the EPIC-Democratic
bloc who objected to the bill on the
ground It yould tax the automobile
owner out of proportion to other levies
made by the gvernment.
Several attempts to amend the
measure, Including a proposal to ex
empt all automobiles with an assessed
valuation of $100 or less, were de
feated before the final vote.
In view of assembly action, a move
ment was started to urge Governor
Frank P. Merrlam to reduce the bud
get by approximately $16,000,000 in
order to make up the dlfferene re
sulting from the refusal to Include
the automobile levy In the revenue
program.
Senator Will R. Sharkey. Martinez,
chairman of the senate finance com
mittee and administration leader,
recommended that the budget cut be
made as a means of balancing the
budget and forcing action looking to
ward final adjournment.
While the two houses appeared
deadlocked over taxation proposals,
Merrlam neared the end of the pe
rid which he was permitted for study
of the budget bill.
According to laow, the governor
must sign or veto the bill by mid
night tonight, the end of the 10-day
period allowed under the constitu
tion. While the automobile tax act was
held In the assembly on the recon
sideration motion of Lyon, it was
considered possible the lower house
would attempt to rush through a sev-
erance tax act as a substitute. Should '
the senate accept such a measure,!
the assembly might change the vote ,

"Somebody to see you!"
IF EVERYBODY with something to interest you should
come and ring your bell, what a nuisance it would be!
Think of the swarming, jostling crowd the stamping of
feet on your porch and carpets!
Every day we know of many callers who come to
see you. They never jangle the bell they don't take
up your whole day trying to get your attention. Instead,
they do it in a way that is most considerate of your
privacy and your convenience. They advertise in your
newspaper!
In this way you have only to listen to those you
know at a glance have something that interests you.
They make it short, too, so you can gather quickly just
what you want to know. You can receive and hear them
all without noise or confusion in a very few minutes.
In fairness to yourself look over all the advertise
ments. The smallest and the largest you never can
be sure which one will tell you something you really
wanf to know.
