SPECIAL FAIR TAXES NOW DANCE INTO VIEW ORANGE COUNTY WILL BE ASKED TO RAISE $87,666.60 This In Addition to Its Pro Rata of $5,000,000 Direct Tax Already Voted by State—People Who Want Fairs Must Pay the Fiddler—Citizens to Have Opportunity of Voting Upon Grab at Coming Election SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.— Here comes the bogie man. His fingers are outstretched for a wad of Orange county money, only $87,000 and some odd dollars. This is in addition to the county's portion of the $5,000,000 fair tax voted by the state last year. However before this latest grab may secure hold upon taxpayers' pockets, the supervisors must include it in their call for the election, and then the people may have a chance to vote upon it. The amount of money to be raised by this method from ten Southern California counties is nearly two and a half million dollars. In addition to all this the state will appropriate $1,000,000 for a state building, and so the fun goes on. Boosters of all these taxes maintain a publicity bureau here in San Francisco, and are sending newspapers throughout the state long letters boosting for taxes and more taxes. What the end will be no man can tell. Here is a sample sheet of dope which is this week being sent to newspaper editors who are expected to print it in return for the $10 feed thrown into them some months ago at Santa Barbara: "That the many counties of the State of California will be adequately represented in 1915 at the expo- Ventura, $66,566.10. Riverside, $78,480.00. Orange, $87,666.60. Imperial, $21,500.00. San Diego, $106,002.45. Santa Barbara, $87,412.20. San Bernardino, $98,216.25. Los Angeles, $1,756,441.55. Total—$2,462,715.55. “If fifty-seven counties of the state outside of San Francisco pass the six cent tax for the exhibition fund for the Panama-Pacific international exposition they would raise in one year $1,067,033.81, and if the tax is operated for five years there would be available for use at the Panama-Pacific international exposition $5,-335,169.05. “This with the $12,500,000 raised by the people of SanF francisco and the $5,000,000 state bonds would mean that the state of California alone will devote in the neighborhood of $23,000,000 on the Panama-Pacific exposition of 1915.” At any rate, voters of Orange county, as well as those of other counties, will have an opportunity for voting upon this proposed tax. If they want to further burden themselves to raise money for the San Francisco fair, they will vote for this special tax. If not, they will not. STATE SCHOOL MONEYS Semiannual Apportionment Made by State Controller Following is the second semiannual apportionment of state school funds made by the state controller to the various counties of the state: Alameda $162,807.57, Alpine $242.10, Amador $7594.83, Butte $21,287.88,Calaveras $8476.65, Colusa $5620.05,Contra Costa $24,020.28, Del Norte $5,-508.84, El Dorado $5694.57,Fresno $63,286.11,Glenn $5,421.33,Humboldt $27,740.07 Imperial $7222.23 Inyo $3,- co, and are sending newspapers throughout the state long letters boosting for taxes and more taxes. What the end will be no man can tell. Here is a sample sheet of dope which is this week being sent to newspaper editors who are expected to print it in return for the $10 feed thrown into them some months ago at Santa Barbara: "That the many counties of the State of California will be adequately represented in 1915 at the exposition and that the display they will make will surpass anything ever before seen is evidenced by the large sums of money that each county is setting aside for the purpose of collecting, installing and maintaining an exhibit of the products and the industries of the county. Thus far thirty counties have passed or practically agreed to pass the special tax of six cents on the $100 of taxable property for the purpose of creating a fund to be used for that purpose. Of the thirty counties that have already taken such action, Sacramento and Plumas have fallen below the six cent limit but even with a four and five cent tax those counties will raise sufficient money to make a good exhibit. Basing a calculation on the 1910 assessment the counties that have already taken action would raise during the next five years in the neighborhood of $3,664,947.55. Following is a list of the counties that have taken or agreed to take favorable action on the special exposition tax and the approximate amount that they will raise for the coming exposition: Amador, $15,654.40. Contra Costa, $87,682.65. Madera, $22,848.75. Humboldt, $87,051.20. Merced, $48,672.00. Napa, $45,357.30. Placer, $26,472.60. Plumas (5), $16,310.10. Sacramento (4), $167,107.20. San Mateo, $78,772.50. Santa Clara, $209,725.05. Shasta, $39,394.65. Siskiyou, $46,734.45. Solano, $60,815.85. Sonoma, $99,671.40. Stanislaus, $58,160.10. Tehama, $34,871.90. Yolo, $56,929.80. Total—$1,202,231.90. That is all very refreshing. None of these counties, as a matter of fact, have as yet officially set their seal of approval upon these proposed taxes. The people possess that right, and they will express themselves."

WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOTES Ladies of Political Equality League State Their Views Editor Gazette.-If there is any mode of interesting voters that has not been used by the California suffragists it has not been discovered.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOTES Ladies of Political Equality League State Their Views Editor Gazette.—If there is any mode of interesting voters that has not been used by the California suffragists it has not been discovered. They have interested prominent men and women; they have entertained and incidentally instructed thousands of people at mass meetings; they have given teas and plays; they have held bridge parties and poster displays; they have scattered literature broadcast; they have besieged the press of the state with suffrage news and logic—but they are not content. During the last twelve weeks of the campaign, from Siskiyou to San Diego, the suffragists will devote their attention to one thing—the great register. Each county will have its organizers, whose chief duty will be to check all voters who are misguided enough to oppose suffrage with a big black mark. But the enthusiasm of the North-of-Tehachapi as well as the South-of-Tehachapi suffragists is such that they claim victory will be in the proportion of three to one. Ten thousand letters have been sent to the farmers of the state by the California political equality league. The letter that follows gives the pith of the suffrage reasons, which, if enumerated, would be multitudinous: Mothers, Fathers and All Good Citizens: A constitutional amendment giving the suffrage to women is to be voted on October 10, 1911. Mothers—Our duty is to take care of the home and the child, but we cannot raise good children unless we can control the conditions surrounding the home. The vote has to do with living, sanitation, education and moral conditioning our young people. Tions are making vast commercialized vice. Children are the victims seech the men you know the vote to protect them. Fathers—Remember they must make a difference are hard for them girls as fair a show astect your daughters by the vote. Citizens—Put it into the many for it is justgressive. It doubles good. Thousands of women realize their need. Vote for the amendmen men the suffrage and its government in California. The amendment: "The legislature of California, at its regular second day of January by proposes that section two of the constitution state of California be amended: "Section 1. Every man in the United States, ever shall have acquired citizenship under or by treaty of Queretaro, will become such ninety days any election, of the age..." -why home-made bread is coming back —um! ah! —shades of your grandmother’s oven! —when have you tasted Bread like the good old home-made kind of the days agone? —you eat bread now because it’s a habit—not entirely because you like it. —why has the “wind product” of today almost supplanted the solid, body-sustaining, palate-pleasing bread of yesterday? —many reasons. —poor cheap flour--made principally from soft wheat--small percentage of gluten--undesirable parts of wheat left in flour--big prcf.t for miller--poor bread for housewife. —bad results in home-made bread making—and the “convenience” of buying baker’s bread--sounded the death knell of the once triumphant home-made loaf. —but home-made bread is coming back. —a HARD WHEAT FLOUR has arrived—the grocer doesn’t make much profit on it—and the miller’s profit is small. —but the possibility of making good old-fashioned home-made bread has been restored to the housewife. —we are going to call on every housewife in town. —we’ll prove what a real Kansas hard wheat, high percentage gluten flour means from a baking standpoint. the great men of the infant republic, however, is otherwise losing nothing of its legibility. Its condition is due to the fact that away back in 1852, when there was no other means known of getting a facsimile, a press copy was taken which absorbed the ink from nearly all the signatures, but let the script of the body of the document still readable but more faint by half than it had been before. The Declaration has also been exposed to strong sunlight while on exhibition at Philadelphia, in 1876,and at the Chicago exposition in 1893. The documents are kept in a light steel case that would offer only a slight resistance to heat and fire. Each page is hermetically sealed between two panes of glass, which are then bound in wooden frames of a highly polished oak. Secretary Knox directed that Chief Clerk McNeir make estimate for a safe repository for the documents that should be fireproof. The two valuable documents were then closed up again in the safe and the seal affixed to be opened again only for transfer to a stronger place of keeping. The documents will not be open to public inspection. The safe is kept in the library of the state department. GANG OF MEXICAN THIEVES Jose Modena Pleads Guilty, Loot Recovered Jose Modena, one of a gang of Mexicans now under arrest, charged with being implicated in a number of robberies in Santa Ana and elsewhere, pleaded guilty to having robbed a room at the county seat.

In 12 months we'll have 50 per cent more women baking their own bread and cake than are doing it today.

The vote has to do with the cost of living, sanitation, food supply, education and moral conditions affecting our young people. Big organizawho shall have been resident of the state one year next preceding the election, and of the county in which he or she claims his or her vote 90 days, and in the election precinct 30 Jose Modena Pleads Guilty, Loot Recovered Jose Modena, one of a gang of Mexicans now under arrest, charged with being implicated in a number of robberies in Santa Ana and elsewhere, pleaded guilty to having robbed a room at the county seat.. Modena, together with Francisco Garcia and his wife, and Lura Dominquez, is suspected of a great number of robberies. Clothing found at Garcia's house has been identified by a number of persons as being stolen from them. Officers went to Los Alamitos and found two suitcases of the clothing on information furnished by the Garcia woman. Garcia was the first of the gang of thieves to be arrested. He was found in Los Angeles July 4th wearing a watch stolen from Ray Richards. Garcia maintained that Modena had sold him the watch. Modena went to the jail window to caution Garcia against such talk, and the jailor ran him down. Next, Garcia's woman was seen wearing a fine hat stolen from Mrs. Yarnell. She was followed to her house, and in a raid she and Dominguez were taken in the midst of a great deal of stolen clothing. Mrs. Garcia proved to be the daughter of a well-known policeman of Los Angeles named Arguella. She denied complicity in the thefts, but finally gave information as to the location of more clothing. Arguella came down to investigate his daughter's case, and acted as interpreter for Modena. It is expected that Modena will make a full confession of the operations of the gang, since he has plead guilty. ATTRACTING HOME-SEEKERS Products of State to Be Displayed at Chicago Show The entire west will be advertised during the United States Land and Irrigation Congress to be held at Chicago from November 18 to December 9 of this year. The Southern Pacific company and other Harriman lines have engaged the whole of the Coliseum Annex for purposes of exhibition, and every town, county, or state tapped by these lines will be given the opportunity to show what advantages it may have to offer to the prospective home-seeker. To further this purpose, the space secured by the Southern Pacific and other allied lines will be divided into lecture halls with moving picture ing the home. The vote has to do with the cost of living, sanitation, food supply, education and moral conditions affecting our young people. Big organizations are making vast profits from commercialized vice. We and our children are the victims. Mothers, be seech the men you know to give you the vote to protect the home. Fathers—Remember your daughters—they must make a living; conditions are hard for them. Give the girls as fair a show as the boys. Protect your daughters by giving them the vote. Citizens—Put it into the hands of the many for it is just and it is progressive. It doubles the power for good. Thousands of women desire it and realize their need of it. Vote for the amendment giving women the suffrage and insure good government in California. The amendment: "The legislature of the state of California, at its regular session on the second day of January, 1911, hereby proposes that section one of article two of the constitution of the state of California be amended as follows: "Section 1: Every native citizen of the United States, every person who shall have acquired the rights of citizenship under or by virtue of the treaty of Queretaro, who shall have become such ninety days prior to any election, of the age of 21 years, who shall have been resident of the state one year next preceding the election, and of the county in which he or she claims his or her vote 90 days, and in the election precinct 30 days, shall be entitled to vote at all elections which are now and may hereafter be authorized by law; provided, no native of China, no idot, no isane person, no person convicted of any infamous crime, and no person who shall not be able to read the constitution in the English language and write his or her name, shall ever exercise the privileges of an elector in this state." PRECIOUS DOCUMENTS SAFE Open to the light of day for the first time in nine years, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States were inspected by Secretary Knox, and found to be in as good condition as when they were put away in their abiding place, a steel safe especially designed for their custody. The four pages of the Constitution and the pages containing the resolution submitting the Constitution to the States of the Union are in excellent condition. The ink is as black as when fresh laid to the parchment with a quill pen, and is of a quality that will outlast any ink of a modern make.
