District Attorney West this week prepared a warrant for Dierksen on a charge of breaking his parole, and Judge West issued the warrant. Dierksen is to be brought here from Los Angeles. He has relatives at Fullerton who have done their best for him. They came into court when Dierksen was first in trouble in this county, he being arrested for passing a $50-no-fund check upon County Auditor Lester, and it was largely through their efforts that Dierksen was given a chance. Dierksen was lucky enough to be continued on probation by Judge West when brought into court on Friday morning. The judge sternly rebuked him for the error of his ways and informed him the next time he appeared in court he would be sent to state's prison. NATIONAL BANKS BREAK RECORD Enormous Sums of Money on Deposit Throughout the United States Business in general, as reflected in the condition of the banks of the United States, has shared in the country's prosperity, according to Comptroller of Currency Murray, in his annual report made public in Washington this week. The banking power of the nation, represented by capital, surplus profits, deposits and circulation, reached during the year the enormous total of $22,348,707,000, a high record, showing an increase of 5.69 per cent over 1911 and 27.8 per cent over 1908. Since 1900 the banking power has increased 111 per cent, or more than doubled. During the last 12 years the number of banks has increased by over 107 per cent and their volume of business, as indicated by deposits, shows an increase of over 127 per cent. The comptroller's report consists of a mass of statistics, with analysis, MR.

Misssing Person's Estate Petition for letters of administration on the estate of Helen G. Whitney, a missing person who mysteriously disappeared from Santa Ana November 4th, was filed this week by Attorney W. H. Thomas. The estate consists of a $700 equity in two and one-half acres of land which has been sold under contract and cash and personal property valued at $500. Whose Move Next? In the Superior Court on Friday the demurrer to the complaint in the case of G. H. L. Ghreist vs. the City of Newport Beach in an action brought to enjoin defendant from selling bonds for an electric lighting system, was sustained and plaintiff given leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff, however, gave notice that he will decline to further amend his complaint. Returned Filing Fees That the state has no right to collect filing fees or to require the filing of campaign expense statements from candidates running for office as "independents," or those who secure their place on the ballot by petition and not by party nomination at the primary election, was the opinion and ruling handed down this week by the Attorney General to Secretary of State Jordan. This ruling, so it was announced by the Secretary of State will cause the return of approximately $900 collected by his office from "independents" as filing fees. One of the men to come under the ruling, and whose filing fee of $25 will not be returned, is Congressman William Kent, re-elected last month. Delinquent Taxes County Auditor Lester has added the penalty of 15 per cent to all first in-25, the last day on which first installment taxes could be paid without penalty. There was a total of $7,587.92 unpaid on the first installment, and on that the penalty is $1,138.19. Last year for first installment there was $5,349.92 unpaid and the penalty was deposits and circulation, reached during the year the enormous total of $22,348,707,000, a high record, showing an increase of 5.69 per cent over 1911 and 27.8 per cent over 1908. Since 1900 the banking power has increased 111 per cent, or more than doubled. During the last 12 years the number of banks has increased by over 107 per cent and their volume of business, as indicated by deposits, shows an increase of over 127 per cent. The comptroller's report consists of a mass of statistics, with analysis, most of which previously "have been published." In connection with the rates in money, which recently have been soaring, the comptroller simply observes that the rate were normal up to August, with a tightening of the money market thereafter. According to the last condition report, September 4, the comptroller points out that New York and Chicago were slightly deficient in the amount of their legal reserves and St. Louis slightly excessive. Banks in the major portion of other large cities also were slightly deficient, but the country banks maintained an excess of the legal requirements. Less than 70 per cent of the total amount of national bank notes which the national banks might circulate under the law has been issued. Based on the September 4 report the banks might increase their circulation by $321,927,060 Mr. Murray says. The national banks the report indicates held over 80 per cent of the bonded debt of the United States in the way of security for circulation and public deposits and as investments. During the fiscal year, 1912, the national banks paid dividends aggregating $120,300,872, or 11.66 per cent on capital and 6.93 per cent on capital and surplus combined. The net earnings of $149,056,603, were equivalent to 8.59 per cent of capital and surplus. During the last 43 years the banks have paid an average annual dividend of 9.17 per cent on the capital stock. Eight national banks, with an aggregate capital of $1,100,000, failed during the year ended October 31, while 83 national banks, with an aggregate capital of $21,605,250, were placed in voluntary liquidation. ORDERS FOR NEW STEAMSHIPS European Companies Adding to Fleets For Trade Through Canal European ship-building concerns are working at the highest possible pressure and are likely to continue to do so for some time to come, in view of the possibilities of the Panama Canal. Recently a contract for five new steam-deposits and circulation, reached during the year the enormous total of $22,348,707,000, a high record, showing an increase of 5.69 per cent over 1911 and 27.8 per cent over 1908.

The proportion of unpaid taxes this year is about the same as last. Last year the total to be collected was $662,422.79 and this year the total is $890,195.62. If the first installment taxes are not paid by the last Monday of April, another penalty, this time 5 per cent, will be added. If the second installment is not paid 5 per cent penalty will be added to that. If the taxes and penalties are not paid by the last Monday in June the property is sold to the state and is held for five years. If the taxes and penalty are not paid by the end of five years the property may be sold to the highest bidder. Dierksen in a Hole Joseph Dierksen is in a precarious situation. After being sentenced to seven years in San Quentin, one would have thought that Dierksen would have been glad enough to have settled down and behaved himself. It was last July that the sentence was suspended over Dierksen's head. In a few weeks he was in jail in Los Angeles on a charge of passing a bad check. The superior court has had two or three telling experiences with those who break parole, and it is more than probable that Dierksen will have to put up the strongest showing of his life if he escapes going to prison. Dierksen's hearing in Los Angeles resulted in parole ORDERS FOR NEW STEAMSHIPS European Companies Adding to Fleets For Trade Through Canal European ship-building concerns are working at the highest possible pressure and are likely to continue to do so for some time to come, in view of the possibilities of the Panama Canal. Recently a contract for five new steamers was placed with Belfast ship-builders by the Pacific Steam Navigation Company. German lines engaged in the South American trade are also adding materially to their fleets. November 1 the Hamburg-American Company had no fewer than nineteen large steamers under construction, including three 50,000-ton vessels of the Imperator class. A 19,000-ton vessel is being built at the Vulcan yard for the Panama service and two 16,000-ton steamers for the Laplata service. Other vessels of lesser importance will bring the total tonnage building for the Hamburg-American on the first of the month up to 270,000 gross. The North German Lloyd has given orders for eleven steamers, totaling nearly 110,000 tons, and others are contemplated. At the beginning of the year this company had twelve vessels building, totaling 95,000 tons. Other lines are adding considerably to their fleets. The Hamburg South American line with four steamers totals 66,000 tons, besides those building. The German Australia Company has under construction five steamers of 5000 tons each, five of 9500 tons each and five of 12,000 tons each practically all in German yards.

JONES STATES VIEWS Has a Word to Say to Taxpayers About Paving, City Hall, and Park Editor Gazette: I am going to ask the opinion of Anaheim taxpayers in regards to the cry of certain so-called boosters in and around Anaheim, regarding paving a certain street, namely, Lemon street, from Center street north and south, when they well know that most of the frontage on this street is acreage land, consisting of orchards, with fences to protect the fruit and trees. Less than one-third of the whole distance is cut up in lots thus far, and there is no intention, so far as I know of, to cut the orchards up into lots. Yet consider the effort of these people in trying to boost good streets in Anaheim by paving Lemon street and leaving the whole residential streets of our city out. I would like to ask them why and how do they leave out the cross streets, when all, or most all the residences are between Los Angeles street and the opera house, where there is at least three churches located. Also between Los Angeles street and Lemon, where it is thickly populated. There must be a wheel loose somewhere, when our boosters are drifting the wrong way, for a start on things. I do honestly believe they are the knockers of things rather than boosters of our city. I believe in improving our city as fast as the people can carry the burden, but let us go at it right, and work in a systematical way, instead of starting things at the tail end. There is also a cry about a city park, and a city hall, and we must have them in time, but if we are going to have a park at all, let us secure not less than five acres for that purpose. And regarding a hall site to build upon, the city owns as good location for that as HIGH COST OF LIVING How Prices Are Boosted by Middlemen in Large Centers of Population A conference of producers and consumers held recently at the New York board of trade to discuss the high cost of living brought out some astounding truths as to way the value of farm produce climbs between the farms near large cities and the counters of the dealers in country produce in the city. The remedy, the conference agreed, lies in city markets, improved terminal facilities and the elimination of the produce middlemen, who are growing enormously wealthy. Beans and cauliflower are two vegetables used by the speakers illustrative of the exorbitant prices demanded by the produce dealers. T. E. Tuttle, a Long Island farmer, spoke about beans. "I raise lima beans," he said. "This year the price went down to 40 cents a bushel. Of that sum the commission man took 10 per cent and I paid the freight. That same time I went down to Washington market and found my beans, for which I had received a little more than 30 cents a bushel, selling at 15 cents a quart. That is $4.80 a bushel. And I want to assure you that the difference between what I got and what they sold for at retail did not go to the Long Island railroad." "Farmer Fullerton," the agricultural expert of the Long Island railroad, declared the New York produce exchange controls produce prices both as to the consumer and the producer. He said we must get rid of the speculator in food products and told something he had learned about a vegetable that grows in plenty around New York—cauliflower. Mr. Fullerton said: "Over on Long Island we have 270,000 acres of land that is not under cultivation, and every acre of it is high class perfectly tillable land. This past season our boys got 45 cents a barrel." believe they are the knockers of things rather than boosters of our city. I believe in improving our city as fast as the people can carry the burden, but let us go at it right, and work in a systematical way, instead of starting things at the tail end. There is also a cry about a city park, and a city hall, and we must have them in time, but if we are going to have a park at all, let us secure not less than five acres for that purpose. And regarding a hall site to build upon, the city owns as good location for that as any that is mentioned so far. And what is the reason that some of our so-called boosters are trying to boost some other places for this purpose? I do believe the people are heartily tired of so much boosting, especially by such a faction as we have at work toward this personal advantage. And it is about time for the taxpayers to wake up in their might and call a halt. We must stop this municipal condition, one way or another, and I hope that our trustees have still enough backbone to oppose all trickery and grouch. Yours in good faith, C. E. J. Anaheim, December 17. Whether a fraternal beneficiary society with rates graded according to age at entry can live permanently depends, other considerations being satisfactory, upon whether these rates are graded to correspond to what the protection furnished costs the society. If the rates are too high the business goes elsewhere. If they are too low the society goes upon the rocks eventually, as the merchant would if he sold some goods below cost and could not compensate himself by selling other merchandise at a profit. CONCERNING THE NEWSPAPER Young Lad Expresses His Views Upon the Matter in Original Way In a little country school not far from Princeton literary exercises are regularly indulged in every Friday afternoon during the term. A 12-year-old boy read an original essay on "The Newspaper." This latter-day youthful Solomon treats his subject thus: "Newspapers are sheets of paper on which stuff to read is printed. The men look over the paper to see if their names is in it, and the women use it to put on the shelves and sich. I don't know how newspapers came into the world. I don't think God does. The Bible says nothing about editors, and I never heard of one being in heaven. I guess the editor is the missing link them fellers talk about. The first editor I ever heard about was the feller expert of the Long Island railroad, declared the New York produce exchange controls produce prices both as to the consumer and the producer. He said we must get rid of the speculator in food products and told something he had learned about a vegetable that grows in plenty around New York—cauliflower. Mr. Fullerton said: "Over on Long Island we have 270,000 acres of land that is not under cultivation, and every acre of it is high class perfectly tillable land. This past season our boys got 45 cents a barrel for cauliflower. I followed that same cauliflower right down to Washington market and saw them selling it in the stalls there at 25 cents a head. One man controlled that absolutely. He split his profits with four others. Not one of them was entitled to a cent. Not one of them had contributed anything to the growth of that cauliflower or helped sell it to the people who paid 25 cents a head for it. It was simply a kind of business piracy."

"Why, you make out the report, don't you, sergeant?" "I don't. Make out your own reports. You've passed your civil service examinations." Mike equipped himself with a pen and began scratching laboriously. Presently the scratching stopped. "Sergeant," he asked, "how d'you spell Guerrero?" "G'wan. You're writing that report." An interval of silence. Then: "Sergeant, how do you spell Guerrero street?" "Stop bothering me," the sergeant ordered. "I'm no information bureau."

We have the exact figures before us for 30 days' up-keep on same against our horses and wagons. We have saved in dollars and cents just one-third. This is our busy season now and will continue until after May 1st, at which time we figure that our business will be lighter and right there is where we think we are going to save considerable money over the horse and wagon, as the truck will cost us nothing while not in use, yet the horse will cost just the same the year 'round. We also figure a still greater gain on the truck from the fact that a trip can be made from one-fourth to one-third the time it takes a horse-drawn vehicle, and we can then hire our driver here in the house for other work. This is a rolling, hilly country, and the Dart makes all the hills with maximum load with ease. We think your Dart truck is good value for the price and take pleasure in telling you or any one interested in light motor trucks. Very respectfully, J. F. WALKER & CO. (By) J. F. Walker.
