Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation THAT NEW TAX LAW That the adoption of Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 1 will throw the state into turmoil for years to come is indicated by the following dispatch from Sacramento. The Gazette was outspoken in opposition to this amendment, not only this year but two years ago when it was first projected, but on account of a lack of interest on the part of the voters it is now law. The interests supported it unanimously, the people seemed to be indifferent, and they will pay the penalty. The amendment was a device in the interest of times to settle disputes between railroads and county assessors. "As the law now stands, much litigation will probably result between railroads and counties as to whether certain property is operative or non-operative. THE JAPANESE BUDGET A great deal of discussion regarding finances is now going on in Japan, both on the part of government officials and among the men on the street. There are rumors of a dissension in the cabinet, and much drastic criticism back and forth, of which the premier, Count Katsura and his ministry come in for more than a fair share. It is hard enough for a layman to understand national finances in his own country where the language is his mother-tongue. Therefore it is safe to say that there are few foreigners indeed who would care to say that they understand the present financial situation in Japan. As far as one can discern from native papers, to an outsider the matter appears to be summed up in the following explanation: The ministry, the newspapers, and the people appear to have believed that a certain course of policy, among other things being the new tariff and the early annexation of Korea, would re-eighty thousand possessor of eightian muskets with have proven to be He can't keep them.

The interests supported it unanimously, the people seemed to be indifferent, and they will pay the penalty. The amendment was a device in the interest of the corporations, and against the small taxpayer. It is time to call a halt in our method of framing new laws. The dispatch referred to states "There is an impending clash between the county assessors of the state and the railroads which the legislature, and perhaps the courts also, will be required to adjudicate. Under the new tax amendment all the operative property of the roads is subject to state taxation solely. The difference concerns what is and what is not operative property. "The railroads, anxious to escape as much taxes as possible, will want to place as much property as possible in the operative class, while the various county assessors, desiring to make as good a showing as possible for their respective counties, will also want to place all the property they can in the non-operative class. The dispute will arise over pieces of property such as depots, freight sheds, repair shops, etc. "The railroads have foreseen the difficulty and are willing to place the matter in the hands of the state board of equalization. The county assessors will probably not want any interference on the part of the state equalizers, and the equalizers themselves are not anxious for the new duty, for the reason that if they assume it they will probably be called to all parts of the state at different before it is safe to say that there are few foreigners indeed who would care to say that they understand the present financial situation in Japan. As far as one can discern from native papers, to an outsider the matter appears to be summed up in the following explanation: The ministry, the newspapers, and the people appear to have believed that a certain course of policy, among other things being the new tariff and the early annexation of Korea, would result in easy finances. The contrary has been the result, interest rates are going up, demands for payment instead of renewals, are being made on government loans, stocks are falling and general hard times seem to be approaching. Coupled with all of this are the disastrous results of the unprecedented floods of the past summer of almost steady rain. It would appear from a perusal of native papers now, that the ministry is responsible for it all—even the rain. There is a rumor of an early breaking up of the cabinet, although nothing definite as yet points to that result. In connection with the above it is interesting indeed to note that the naval department has asked for a sum of 400,000,000 yen (200,000,000) for naval expansion, to cover a period of ten years, while the war department has asked for an increase of two full divisions. According to the Jiji Shimpo, the minister of finance has refused to endorse either of these expenditures, stating that they are utterly impossible under the present financial conditions. This paper is also authority for the statement that only 80,000,000 yen is contemplated for naval expansion, in the financial program for the next six years. On the other hand, so urgent are the demands of the expansion party, that it will be next to impossible for any ministry to hold to this sensible programme."

He can't keep them, he can't use them and he is not permitted to sell them. The muskets were bought for a very nominal price at a government condemnation sale. Mr. Kurata tried in a number of ways to dispose of his purchase but to no avail. When the Chinese Prince Tsal-Hsun, was in Japan on his return from the United States, Mr. Kurata tried to give him the muskets for curios to be placed in the Chinese schools. The offer was declined. They were occupying space in Mr. Kurata's warehouse and becoming rusted and ruined, so at last in desperation he hired an old man and put him out beside the Yasukuni shrine to sell the muskets, with bayonets attached, at 10 cents apiece. The police came along and arrested his salesman, sending him to jail for ten days. Considerable trouble has been experienced during the present year, in the seal hunting grounds off Alaska from Japanese poachers. Three Japanese ships captured within forbidden water were being held at one NAVIES OF THE WORLD The United States closes another year in second place among the world naval powers. The great navy building race between Germany and England has not brought the former up to the United States in the number of battleships afloat, but in ships projected and in the total number of warships of all kinds, Germany will crowd the United States to third place. These facts are shown in the new navy year book prepared by Pitman Pulsifer, clerk to the senate committee on naval affairs, and soon to be issued by the government printing office. In armored cruisers, although the technical division made in the United States indicates Germany to have more than this country, the strength of the United States exceeds that of its European rival. In ships completed, building and provided for by various countries, the Germany number rises to 255, with a displacement of 933,845 tons, while the United States has 177 with tonnage of 878,152. At present the floating navies of the leading powers have Dreadnaught type vessels as follows: England 11 displacement 203,100 tons, United States 4 displacement 72,000, Germany 4 displacement 72,000.

CLARK ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR Considerable trouble has been experienced during the present year, in the seal hunting grounds off Alaska from Japanese poachers. Three Japanese ships captured within forbidden water were being held at one time by the United States authorities. The Japanese take this very light-heartedly, in fact it appears to add an atmosphere of romance to the labor of the sealers, much like the glamour which surrounded piracy in the days of Sir Francis Drake. The Jiji Shimpo gives the following statistics regarding the results of the year's work: "During the present year the number of Japanese sealing ships was thirty-five and 8000 seals were captured, the value of the fur obtained being about $500,000. American sealers captured something over 12,000 seals during the season." An old Pennsylvania German living in the mountains had a hard three hours dusty walk to accomplish one morning and he rose early to make the start. He had gone but a short distance when he was overtaken by an automobile, which was probably the first that had passed along that way. The driver picked up the old man and they were at his destination in about twenty minutes. "Danks so much awfully mit de ride. If I had known myself to be here already two hours in front of the clock yet I vud be at home fast asleep already to start unless I knew you vud not have picked me up since."
