In most of the towns a good gain is made; where a loss is shown it may be due to a lack of thoroughness of enumeration except at Long Beach and Santa Monica where, according to the statement of the Riverside Press, the loss is too large to be accounted for in that way. The ratio between the number of school children and the total population varies from four to five according to different conditions that prevail in different localities. In most cases four is a conservative basis, but in other cases five is none too high. We give the following population estimates figured according to both plans. Even the basis of five will not satisfy Los Angeles and San Diego, but we believe it is plenty high enough unless some abnormal conditions exist: On Ratio On Ratio of 4 of 5 Los Angeles...202,460 253,075 San Diego...22,450 28,110 Pasadena...21,050 26,310 Long Beach...15,365 19,205 Riverside...11,525 14,440 San Bernardino...10,250 12,810 Santa Barbara...9,790 12,235 Redlands...9,050 11,310 Santa Monica...7,250 9,065 Pomona...7,504 9,380 Santa Ana...6,610 8,260 San Pedro...3,910 4,885 Whittier...3,370 4,205 Colton...3,190 3,990 Ontario...3,150 3,940 Orange...2,945 3,880 Ventura...2,840 3,550 Hollywood...2,990 3,740 Alhambra...2,920 3,650 Anaheim...2,955 3,695 South Pasadena...2,710 3,390 Monrovia...2,610 3,260 Corona...2,440 3,050 Oxnard...2,365 2,955 Needles...2,390 2,990 Redondo...2,120 2,650 Chino...2,050 2,565 Cahuenga...2,025 2,530 Santa Paula...1,930 2,410 Escondido...1,840 2,300 Ocean Park...1,705 2,245 Glendale...1,785 2,230 EDITOR GAZETTE:— The California Promotion Committee is advised by Congressman J.

Backs, Jr Secretary Anaheim This Bill Has Bugs In It The separation of state and local taxation would benefit the railroads at the expense of communities. It would permit the railroads, by a simple artifice, to escape taxation and thereby mulct the people out of thousands of dollars. It would relieve the large corporations from paying any share of the Owens River aqueduct expenses. There are “bugs” in the bill. These were points made in denunciation of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for distinct taxing functions in an address delivered some days ago at the annual meeting of the Los Angeles realty board by G. M. Giffen, a capitalist, and treasurer of the organization. “Should the measure pass as proposed,” said Mr. Giffen, “it would deprive Los Angeles city and county of a great deal of revenue. “There are bugs in the bill. Should the railroads with harbor and other tidewater holdings put in fake spur tracks they could exempt from county taxation hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Needham it is deemed advisable to ventatives of all California affected by the tariff or affected by a new tariff, represent the claims of the California Industries before see on Ways and Means of during the coming sessing next December. Cornia Promotion Committee operate in all ways pospose Congressional Delegation and in furtherance of the of Congressman Needham it have a conference of all who had in industries of the State, at a concerted plan of action sulated for the proper and representation of California’s proper time. To this end tree calls a meeting of reof such interests, to be California Building, Union Franelsco, beginning at hursday morning, July 16, ing two days. mittee requests all organighout the State to notify their vicinities who may in this question, in order to attend the meeting, and the organizations to have present in order that a ending of the requirements may be arrived at, and active committee or committed to take the matter up to a successful conclusion. Individually take immediate account to this, informing me done and also informing the representatives sent from your part of the that industries they repreost important matter for said Mr. Giffen, "it would deprive Los Angeles city and county of a great deal of revenue. "There are bugs in the bill. Should the railroads with harbor and other tidewater holdings put in fake spur tracks they could exempt from county taxation hundreds of thousands of dollars of dollars. This would be possible because 'operative' railroad property is under the free list in this statue. "Spocial taxation in time of menace or other unusual occurance could not be imposed upon the many heavy corporations here, as the State only could command this form of revenue. "The separation of State and local taxation would relieve the corporations from paying any share of the Owens river expenditures." Mr. Giffen declared himself as unalterably opposed to the proposed amendment. It is probable that the Los Angeles Realty Board will take up the amend-ment officially later and pass upon it. It is believed that the final action will be adverse to the measure. In that case it will be in line with the protest of several organized business bodies throughout the State. In this connection it might be asked what becomes of Gov. Gillett's scheme to issue $18,000,000 of bonds by the state for good roads? Under this iniquitous proposed amendment, railroads, street railroads, electric lines, telegraph and telephone companies and all other corporations would escape taxation for these bonds, as well as for all other bonds issued in the state for civic improvements of all kinds. What has this man Gillett to say of his advocacy of this iniquitous measure? Speak up, Gillett; what do you mean? Feed Will Be High “If every rancher realized that feed will be high this year,” said a farmer recently, “every one would plant what available space he has to some kind of crop suitable for feed. Take the farmers who are taking out their potatoes now, and those who are cutting hay. If they clear their land, and have irrigation water they ought by all means to put that land into some kind of forage crop, pumpkins, citrons, stock beets—something or other that stock will eat. There is no question but what every bit of it will help the farm- recently, "every one would plant what available space he has to some kind of crop suitable for feed. Take the farmers who are taking out their potatoes now, and those who are cutting hay. If they clear their land, and have irrigation water they ought by all means to put that land into some kind of forage crop, pumpkins, citrons, stock beets—something or other that stock will eat. There is no question but what every bit of it will help the farmer out. "Nearly every rancher has some stray corners on his place that he might just as well put to some such use as not, and this is the time to get busy with those corners. If a man has a small piece of land on his place that is idle just now and does not know what to do with it, it is my advice that he plant some kind of forage crop." Don Henrico's Lost Note A San Diego news item forwarded from that city some days ago reads as follows: MYSTERIOUS FIND Plumbers, while repairing a small building on Columbia and D streets, found a pocketbook in the flush tank of a closet, which evidently had been placed there since last March. Papers found include a receipt given by the Anaheim Lodge of Odd Fellow to Henry Oelkers, dated in March. Another paper is a note given to Oelkers by Peter Hermint.
