Editorial Correspondence
LOS ANGKLES, March 7. "Extree! Extree!" The news
boyg are running all over the street with paper plastered with
double line banners "Nazi troops occupy the Rhineland; War
threatens Europe!" It's just another cry of "wolf, wolf" as
far as the people are concerned. Many crane their necks to
read the headlines. Few buy. When and if another war in
Europe breaks out it will probably come in some such fashion
waging war first, declaring war afterward. But in all proba
bility it will be started by airplanes not by troops on the ground.
This much is certain and has been for a long time. Unless the
nations of Europe somehow check their hatreds, they will be
destroyed by them. It's only a question of. time.
.
And Breaking of hatreds that is the disease from which the
agitators over in Pershing Square are suffering. How they
talk, talk, talk, the talk "goes round and round and conies
out" NOWHERE ! But the basis of it all is hatred of some
thing, in general terms hatred of those more fortunate than
they. The more we see of these windjammers, the less patience
we have with them. "The government's all wrong, the system
is all wrong, everything is all wrong," and how they love to
prate about it, bandying about such terms as the machine aite,
unearned increment, the exploiting class, the dictatorship of the
plutocrats and what have you I
.
Half of them don't know the meaning of the terms they use.
And their complaint when boiled down to the essentials merely
demonstrates they possess, in an exaggerated form, the traits
they accuse that crowd over in the Biltmore across the street of
possessing. How they love to shake their unwashed fists at the
Biltmore. Yet if we were in real distress we would take our
chance with the white collar boys over in the Biltmore, rather
than these alleged champions of the downtrodden under the
palms in Pershing Square. For sheer selfishness, avarice, cupid
ity, intolerance, the passion for profit, and power, these soap
box agitators, would make the late Jay Gould, look like Ma
hatma Gandhi. They Bre a bad lot. Not all of them, some
are mere freaks, nuts, harmless cranks, who like to hear them
selves talk. But the professional agitators among them, they,
are no better than criminals at hearts, they want trouble, are
trying to stir up trouble, with one dominant purpose, so they
can get theirs while the getting is good, that's all. They curse
out the pirates and crooks of Wall Street; and their own mo
tives are predacious and their methods unprincipled. A good
drama could be built up on this
world agitator and gangster,
of all Russia.
Many years ago there was a ame popular in England called
Beaver. We arc a bit hazy on the details but if we remember
correctly it consisted in picking out whiskered gentlemen along
the right of way, and yelling Beaver. The one getting the most
beavers, won a glass of beer or SOMETHING.
That wouldn't work in Los Angeles today for whiskers are
coming back. Last night at the Biltmore we saw Lionel Barry
more, sporting a set. of whiskers, closely resembling those of the
late King George. He looked very well too in his white tie and
tails, the awards were being made for 1935 by flie Academy
of Moving Pictures. In Hollywood whiskers are almost as fre
quently encountered as wire-haired fox terriers which is bad
news for the safety razor industry. No, Beaver wouldn't do.
We have thought of a substitute however. Walk up Broad
way in Los Angeles anytime between eleven in the morning and
two in the afternoon and when you see a civilized face, not
attractive, intelligent or refined just CIVILIZED, call out
"Beaver." The person getting the most Beavers gets the coon
cola. A score over three in three hours would be a record
breaker I
Shoes for $1.98, socks ten cents a dozen, dresses for $2.10
those are the signs you see on upper Broadway, and if these
don't lure you perhaps the phonograph record enumerating
the bargains, or the super salesman waving his arms, and invit
ing you in, will. It is hard to walk along this section of Broad
way without, running into such merchandise for a large section
of the sidewalk is occupied by the retailers' stalls. And the
pity is people who can't affoTd to waste any pennies are buying
them. The shoes are made of paper, the socks of sweepings, the
dresses of shoddy in reality the most extravagant, expensive
line of merchandise anyone could buy. But bow the poor saps
fall for them I Just another phase of one of the greatest sports
in this metropolis-7-the flim-flam game,.
. . . .
No doubt about it if one sticks around Los Angeles long
enough he has a chance of seeing most of the celebrities of the
world. George Bernard Shaw and Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia university were here yesterday. Thanks to a news
paper tip we got our first glimpse of the former but missed
out on the latter. After considerable pulling and hauling we
got a clear view of the famous Irish wit and dramatist as he
descended from his Pullman at the Santa Fe station, and hur
ried to a waiting taxi oftb. Ruddy faced, loan, white whiskered,
followed by a flock of black porters like a big game hunter on a
South African safari, G. B. S. reminded one of a venerable
billy gont in rather a bad humor. Just, when or how the news
paper boys got a word with him remains a mystery. We have
a pious idea they fell back upon the morgue and their vivid
imaginations, for he had come and was gone before one could
say Jack Robinson. At that it was hard pickings. The most
extended report, we found in the afternoon papers merely re
pented what Shaw had said about the U. S. constitution, ami
that Or. Butler wouldn't do very well as a dealer in second hand
motor ears, tho idea being the president of Columbia still put
his faith in a Constitution thnt, was outmoded. Vince Biiriirtt,
the film comedian and professional "ribber" was on hand, but
missed out also. Now we learn from the Sunday morning
Times that Vince later cornered Shaw and Mrs. Shaw in the
Biltmore dining room, and posing as Timothy Glntzspiogcl,
reporter for a Hollywood film paper, had a brisk but not very
illuminating tete-a-tete with the Maestro.
e
Bette Pavis won the prire for her work in "r'angerons"
and Elizabeth Bergner for far better work in ''Escape Me
Never" only got honorable mention. Well, so it goes. Miss
Pavis is far better looking in real life, than or. the screen, her
face is less petulant and drawn, a most, engaging smile and a
beautiful head of auburn hair. Perhaps the winning of the
prire had something to do with it.
P. S. Incidentally L. Barrymore'g whiskers were not real,
hut a part of his movie make up, he brought with him from tho
studio to the banquet. R W. R

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
YF you are of the school that think
the rich pay all .the taxes, and
that YOU are therefore not Interest
ed In rising costs of government, you
should consider these figures:
In 1920, Indirect taxes provided
only 3714 per cent of the revenue of
the federal government. In 1935,
which was last year. Indirect taxes
accounted for 61 per cent of the
federal government's revenue.
AT this point, you may ask:
'Just
what are Indirect taxes?"
They are the taxes you pay WITH
OUT KNOWING IT such as taxes on
cigarettes, theater tickets, automo
biles, etc.
These taxes are added to the price
of the article, and you pay every time
you buy.
(Direct taxes, of course, are those
you know all about paying such as
Income snd property taxes. They are
painful in the extreme, and we com
plain bitterly about them. We know
Just how much they cost, and Just
whst we'd do with the money if we
didn't have to pay It to the tax col
lector.)
NDIRECT taxes, on the other han'j.
are comparatively painless.
Every time you buy a package of
cigarettes, you pay six cent to the
government, but It doesn't hurt you
much, because it Is on'.y six cents.
and besides you think of it as a part
of the price of cigarettes.
Every time you buy a new automo
bile, you contribute something like
100 to government (more-or less, de
pending on the price of your car) but
you don't realize you are paying It,
linking of It as a part of the price
of tho car. It is the same with gaso
line taxes.
CIGARETTE taxes, gasoline taxes,
theater and other amusement
ticket taxes, automobile taxes, etc.,
are a definite tax, levied by govern
ment and added to the price of the
article. You can compute all of them,
If you'll take the trouble.
Bu In a larger sense, ALL taxes are
ndded to the price of what you buy.
because they arc a part of the cost
of doing business and MUST be ad
ded to the selling price or those who
are engaged In ouslness will go broke.
The higher the taxes the higher
prices must be, and the higher prices
are the less our money will buy.
A LOT of us, whose direct taxes are
fall Into the habit of thinking of
money apent by government as man
na from heaven that does everybody
good and costs nobody anything.
That isn't true. Taxes enter into
the cost of everything we buy, and If
taxes are too high PRICES will be
too high.
If prices are too high, wages can't
go far enough.

The unbelievable Hitler la letting

Nazlea are merly trying to frighten

our people would like to know.

backed out of a slum clearance test
before the supreme court because
they had very good reason to expect

Last winter they filed a petition
for review of a decision of a Louis

Ye Poet's Cornei
My Dad
He was just an fld-timer.
Lived up In the hills.
With his pick snd shovel,
Hunting gold In the rills.
Gum boots pulled high, -
To keep his feet dry.
And he whist red a tune
To the birds and the sky.
His rocker rocked
To the tune of his song.
His hands were thin.
But his arms were strog n
And In his heart
He did no wrong.
He was loved by all,
Who heard his song.
Now that he's gone, I feel
So sad: I realize how
I loved my dad.
