The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. COLLECTIONS INHERITANCE TAX Six and one-half million dollars will have been collected through inheritance tax in California during the four years which will end December 31 next. This is the statement of John S. Chambers, state controller, at the first annual convention of attorneys and appraisers held in Los Angeles this week. Said Mr. Chambers: "We have been collecting an average of $1,500,000 for the state for the past three years, and for the current fiscal year the total will exceed $2,000,000. Five per cent has gone to teachers' pensions and we have turned over $250,000 annually to the permanent school fund." "The inheritance tax is not a burden. Widows and minor children are protected. It comes from the large properties, and from those who have not worked for the money. It should be as popular as any tax can ever become." Taxing of joint accounts, treatment of the contents of safety deposit boxes, and of estates placed in trust or diverted to heirs by transfers previous to death were among the subjects touched upon by the speaker. "Although I must admit that some of our practices are uncertain," said Albert H. Elliott, assistant inheritance tax attorney of San Francisco—"that we are but seeking out the way—I want to say that some day a few persons are going to wake up and find that this state has a heavy lien on the property." PROVES RIGHT TO TIDE LANDS The right of the city of Los Angeles to the valuable tide lands of Los Angeles harbor—a right vital to the municipal development plans of that city—was affirmed by the Supreme Court of California in a decision covering nine cases and rejecting the contentions of the Southern Pacific company, the Pacific Electric company, its subsidiary, the San Pedro Lumber company, and other allied litigants. The purchasers of the tide land, including the Banning Company, must by this decision yield to the public easement over the land, which lies between normal high tide and normal low tide, for the purposes of navigation. The action was begun by the Attorney-General to annul the patents to the land. The most important point in the decision is that a sale of tide land, under the provisions of the political code, does not divest the public easement for the purpose above stated. Existing wharf rights are not disturbed by the decision. A large part of the disputed land lay within two miles of the town of Wilmington, incorporated by a special act in 1872. The court held that this act put into operation the statutory reservation for bidding the sale of tide lands within two miles of an incorporated town. All such land, therefore, was withheld from sale until the repeal of the incorporating act in 1887. The effect is to annul, absolutely, the patents of a majority of the claimants, although the land occupied by the Southern Pacific wharves and tracks is exempted, being more than two miles from Wilmington. The passage of the Hetch Hetchy bill in the Senate finally resolved itself into a local problem. The Senators abandoned the claims of those who thought they found in this measure a step toward government control of water power sites and the usurpation of state rights. In the last analysis... of the contents of safety deposit boxes, and of estates placed in trust or diverted to heirs by transfers previous to death were among the subjects touched upon by the speaker. "Although I must admit that some of our practices are uncertain," said Albert H. Elliott, assistant inheritance tax attorney of San Francisco—"that we are but seeking out the way—I want to say that some day a few persons are going to wake up and find that this state has a heavy lien on the property they hold. I say this for the reason that ignorance as to the precise applicability of the law is too general among both attorneys and citizens." He urged that the law itself be generally studied, and held out the hope that some day the work of the appraiser, instead of being an uncertain affair dependent a good deal on court sanction, will be invested with enough of the judicial atmosphere to be respected by citizens, attorneys, and the courts. The passage of the Hetch Hetchy bill in the Senate finally resolved itself into a local problem. The Senators abandoned the claims of those who thought they found in this measure a step toward government control of water power sites and the usurpation of state rights. In the last analysis the proposal to give the city of San Francisco an adequate water supply became the practical problem; and the nature lovers, the conservationists, the sentimentalists, and all others, were simply pushed aside because of the belief that a great city was in need of water.

BERT AND ABOUT THE CITY Bert Simpson has transferred the scene of his activities to Long Beach, where he is in charge of a branch office established by Simpson, Hamler & Simpson. He has made a number of auto trips to this city during the week, bringing a number of Montana people who are spending the winter at the beach. Among them are many of his old-time acquaintances, and he will leave no stone unturned to locate them on this vicinity. Bert is a mixer from away back, and informs us he has a number of realty deals about ready for negotiation. At the Wickersheim season's opening last Saturday at Fullerton 1,000 people were present during the afternoon and evening. In the motor vehicle parade at 2:30 many customers were in line driving their own Fords. Mr. Wickersheim had in the procession a Lambert steel hoof tractor and Col. Wickersheim himself rode on theood of the machine. He also had in nine three Federal trucks, two Kissel Kar trucks and three Kissel Kars. During the evening following the parade the crowd was entertained with music by a local orchestra until 9 o'clock. Having recently passed a resolution appropriating $100 as a premium for the birth of triplets, the board of supervisors should not forget Mr. and Mrs. Bever, of West Anaheim. Three bright and beautiful little girls were born to them three years ago and they are growing and developing at a remarkable rate. Perhaps the board will not hark back into the past but the Bevers set the example, achieved celebrity and are as much entitled to the premium as those who come after them. Word was received at Santa Ana of an accident near Syracuse, N. Y., in which Mrs. Esther Towner Conant, formerly of Santa Ana, was badly injured and her husband and another suit on notes aggregating $3,000 has been brought by the German American Bank against Harrison Kuebler. The notes are secured by a mortgage on lots 5 to 9, block F, Lorelei tract, Anaheim. Leonard Evans is attorney for the plaintiff. Mrs. W. H. H. Clayton, of Orange, who is asking damages of E. R. Werdin, paving contractor who laid pavement at Orange, and who is now at work at Anaheim, has demanded that the trial be by jury. Tuesday morning she deposited with County Clerk Williams the money necessary to secure the jury. The case is set for January 12. Mrs. Clayton was arrested on a complaint sworn to by Werdin, charging her with insanity. A commission heard the case and declared Mrs. Clayton sane. She then asked damages, accusing Werdin of having maliciously prosecuted her. By granting to a concessionaire the privilege of erecting and maintaining within the grounds an "Inside Inn," with accommodations for 2,500 people in 1,800 rooms, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition Company has guaranteed to prospective visitors protection against certain hotel keepers who might prey upon them in 1915. The rates at the "Inside Inn" will be from $1 to $3 a day, and arrangements can now be made in advance by societies and others for accommodations at reasonable prices. The Board of Supervisors has received a letter from the Automobile Club of Southern California approving the project to have the state highway lighted from Fullerton through Anaheim, Orangé and Santa Ana, to the south county limits. The suggestion was made at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Placentia, and was referred to a committee of that organization for a report. The automobile club’s letter states that it would like to address the Board of Supervisors upon the matter. TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Born to them three years ago and they are growing and developing at a remarkable rate. Perhaps the board will not hark back into the past but the Bevers set the example, achieved celebrity and are as much entitled to the premium as those who come after them. Word was received at Santa Ana of an accident near Syracuse, N. Y., in which Mrs. Esther Towner Conant, formerly of Santa Ana, was badly injured and her husband and another man killed. The automobile in which they were riding skidded on ice at a sharp turn, and the machine overturned in a ditch. Mrs. Conant wasinned down for over an hour before she was extracted from the wreck. She was raised in Santa Ana, the stepmother of A. J. Towner, and about a year ago married in the east. G. H. Cornell was in town this week from Los Angeles, accompanied by L. Valla, commercial agent of the Southern Pacific company. Mr. Correll has been appointed traveling passenger agent of this company, taking the place of H. E. Montague, who was killed by a train bandit near Pomona some weeks ago. He was for a number of years attached to the main office in San Francisco, and comes south to engage in a larger field of activity. He is an energetic and experienced railroad man, and will no doubt make good in filling the place of a man who has regarded as one of the most popular passenger agents in the state. WANTED! WANTED!
