A Southland anti smog plan from SCAG proposes a new license fee formula to penalize dirty cars, requiring hearings across six counties. The plan would tax pollution by vehicle output, pressuring buyers toward newer, cleaner cars, though passage depends on state lawmakers and Brown.
Will Rogers criticizes a proposed tax plan claiming it regresses taxation by charging the poor more for pollution. He jokes about SCAG's smog standards and notes personal memories while traveling and tracking news from various sources. The column is dated October 25, 1931, with Rogers' familiar humor on politics and policy.
Virgil Salera urges cleaning up New York City’s fiscal abuses as a lens on national irresponsibility. He cites hidden deficits and unsafe debt practices, including bailouts from Washington, and argues Congress and officials inflate the budget with hoarded funds and fake accounting. He calls for disciplined budgeting and end to inflationary tactics.
Editorial likens Congress to Charlie Brown as it expands closing cost rules under RESPA. It argues added forms and delays raise costs for buyers and sellers, not cut them, noting lenders bear the burden and the public hears only reform chatter with little relief. Congress weighs a compromise bill amid industry heat.
A flawed survey argues the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant group no longer sits atop power. It places WASPs sixth in establishment influence behind Jews and several immigrant Christian groups, suggesting earlier blame was misdirected and reflecting social protest dynamics of the era.
The essay laments innocent slaughter and examines terrorism across history, urging measured counterterrorism. It cites Hammurabi, Armenian uprisings, Ulster, Basque violence, and a 1987 Puerto Rican separatist attack noting how violence metastasizes. It argues for disciplined state action, not vigilantism, to protect civilians and curtail murder.
A scrambled screed notes rivals minting labels like Lite and Light to taunt Miller’s marketing push. It alleges misleading branding and possible legal shadow play as Schlitz readies a new low calorie beer, while consumer confusion and un-American fears loom amid ads and product skew.
