Because of imperfections in the income tax law, numerous amendments will be recommended to the next congress by the treasury department. Official experts are quietly at work on this statute, preparing a report on the crudities it contains and outlining proper legislative action to correct them. The law is honeycombed with errors. A striking illustration of this thread of weakness that runs through the whole gamut of democratic legislation occurs in one of the most vital provisions of the income tax law. It relates to deductions that shall be allowed in computing gross income—a basis element in this system of taxation. Paragraph B of the law states that in computing income for the purpose of normal tax there shall be allowed as deduction, among other things, losses actually sustained during the year in trade, etc. What is the meaning of the words in trade? The courts must decide. The phrase is capable of an infinite variety of interpretations. As construed by the treasury department, deductions from gross income for losses in trade can be made only in connection with that which occupies and engages the time, attention and labor of anyone for the purpose of A HORROR OF THE SEA An incident of the European war which has suddenly and startlingly brought home to the minds of Americans that although separated from the scene of battle by some 3000 miles of sea, and although religiously endeavoring to maintain a strict neutrality, we are still not immune from the horrors of the savage conflict, was the destruction of the Atlantic liner, Lusitania, on Friday last. She was sunk by a German submarine off the south coast of Ireland, within an hour's run of the harbor of Queenstown. The Lusitania was carrying 1976 persons, 1200 of these being passengers, the balance her crew. She was struck twice by torpedoes, the first destroying the engines and the second striking the after part of the ship. She went to the bottom of the sea within less than half an hour, and 1153 persons perished. 115 of these were Americans. Disregarding the warnings and belittling the dangers that are known to lurk in British waters there were 189 American passengers on the vessel, and 115 of them are dead. Among them are a humber whose names were well known to most Americans. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, the New York millionaire, was one of the victims. Elbert Hubbard, the famous writer and his wife, both perished, also Justus Miles Forman, the magazine writer, and Charles Frohman, the noted New York theatrical manager. Not since the sinking of the Titanic three years ago, when more than 1600 persons lost their lives, has there been such a disaster of the sea as this. Officers of the Lusitania and passengers alike laughed at the possibility of danger from submarines when the matter was suggested to them, and even after the vessel was struck the The phrase is capable of an infinite variety of interpretations. As construed by the treasury department, deductions from gross income for losses in trade can be made only in connection with that which occupies and engages the time, attention and labor of anyone for the purpose of livelihood, profit or improvement; that which is his personal concern or interest, employment, occupation, but it is not necessary that it should be his sole occupation or employment. For instance, it is said that if a grocer has invested in real estate, in making his income tax return any real estate profit, must be added to gross income; but losses from real estate investments must not be deducted from gross income. From every part of the country bitter complaints have been made against this ruling, and the question is to be taken to the courts for final adjudication. Whether the ruling is right or wrong, it is the uncertainty of the statute that reflects upon the intelligence of the political party responsible for it. Nothing but heedlessness could have permitted it. The tax payer bears the burden of the blunder, for it is a maxim in governmental affairs that every doubt in a law is resolved in favor of the government by the administrative officers. Errors in the income tax law are too numerous to mention in detail. Witness the fact that in the first few weeks of its operation thousands of applications for refund were made. One of these has just been allowed, and is a fine example of the law's uncertainty. The department refunded to one man who had paid $500 as income tax all but $12 of that amount. He had the help of a revenue officer in making his return, yet so indefinite was the law that for fear of violation he paid the government $500 instead of $12. Examinations of the department decisions on the income tax law show a mass of contradictory rulings. Over and over again opinions were reversed and dereversed, because the terms of the law did not admit of clear interpretation. Every day additional evidence is found that adds to the long list of leglosses actually sustained during the year in trade, etc. What is the meaning of the words in trade? The courts must decide.

MRS. ARMOR RETIRES FROM EDITORIAL WORK Mrs. Alice L. Armor has sold the Orange Post to A. A. Smith, a journalist formerly employed upon leading newspapers in Iowa, and for some years past engaged in the newspaper business in this state. Mrs. Armor has edited the Post for many years, and is one of the pioneer journalists of the county. With her distinguished husband, Samuel Armor, she has had much to do with the molding of public opinion upon questions of importance, and the position of the Post has always been characterized by patriotism and sincere regard for the betterment ofthe interestsofthe people.The Post has been one ofthe most valuable exchanges coming to this office,and we are glad to say that this journal has been many times on its side in combating ill-considered measuresand upholdingthe principlesof Mrs. Meta Jobnortheastof townillnessoftwoyearwere held atthechurchMonday,Rofficiating,theboanaheimcemeteryband,A.H.Job,sister.

Over and over again opinions were reversed and rereversed, because the terms of the law did not admit of clear interpretation. Every day additional evidence is found that adds to the long list of legislative blunders committed by the democratic administration. Future congresses and the courts must correct the mistakes, and meanwhile the people must pay for them. Men whose political memory runs back 20 years are finding a close and curious parallel between the political conditions of 1895 and those of 1915. The country then had a democratic administration — Cleveland's. The country today has a democratic administration — Wilson's. The country then had a democratic tariff law—the Wilson-Gorman bill. The country today has a democratic tariff law—the Underwood-Simmons bill. Then, as now, there was widespread unemployment and deep discontent all over the land. Then, as now, the country had just experienced sweeping Republican victories in the elections of the previous off year. Then, as now, the municipal elections of the springtime showed the continued sweep of republican ascendancy. Then as now, the country was looking forward with eagerness to its approaching relief from democratic administration and to the restoration of the republican party to power. The political indications of 1895 found their fulfillment in the election of McKinley in 1896. The political indications of 1915 will find their fulfillment in the election of another Republican president in 1916. Louis Bushard is confined to his home with illness. Over 150,00 horses have been purchased in America for shipment to the warring nations of Europe. At a fair estimate, the average price was not less than $150, which would make a total of more than $22,000,000 for horses alone. This accounts for a part of the balance of trade in favor of the United States, credit for which the democrats have made a vain attempt to assume.

Ivory Combs Special at 38c, 2 for 75c Heying’s Pharmacy QUALITY SOLUTION OF ORANGE PROBLEM The New York Produce News in a recent issue says editorially: We firmly believe if California orange growers would leave on trees one-third of the fruit they now ship they would, this season, be much better off financially. If each year no Navels were shipped from southern California before March 1, when the fruit is fully mature and sweet, it would be better for the entire citrus industry. Too much poor California fruit is shipped early. Consumers pay a high price for this at retail regardless of the wholesale price. When a consumer pays 50c or 60c for a dozen oranges he expects good fruit, and when he or she gets fruit that looks fine, but is sour and bitter, it dwarfs the taste for oranges, and they are let alone for a time. This curtails consumption. Low prices are necessary to force the fruits into use again. Thus the shippers suffer from their own folly. There is too great a tendency to ship oranges, even when the growers know the fruit is not fit to eat. This Some of our prices on SHOES during our Pure Food Show. We cannot mention all.

There is too great a tendency to ship oranges, even when the growers know the fruit is not fit to eat. This applies to California and Florida as well. The grower figures that he may get something above freight for early fruit, whereas, if he did not ship, he would get nothing. He doesn't stop to figure the effects on the market later for good fruit. The railroads are the only beneficiaries from such a short-sighted policy. Hundreds of cars of oranges are annually shipped out of California which net nothing to the growers, but the railroads get the same charges as on quality fruit. Why support the railroads with no chance of profit? Californians are prone not to consider Florida seriously as a competitor. They should realize that it is a strong one, and becoming stronger every year. It is true Florida oranges have more seeds than the Californians and are not as handsome, but jucier, and, as a rule sweeter. Floridans are improving in their packing. The Floridans are at their best during January and February. They have brought more in New York this season than the navels. There is never an over supply of high grade oranges or any other fruit properly and honestly packed. The high quality brings enough money to warrant the extra expense. This is proved by the success of C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, California. Knowing these conditions, why should shippers be careless in the packing and selection of fruit? Navels this year have not been up to standard, either in pack or quality. The trees probably have not fully recovered from the disastrous freezes of two years ago. California must make some change or it will be in danger of losing its stand in the orange industry maintained so long. It is too important an industry to suffer losses which could be avoided. We hold no brief, for one section over another, but we cannot shut our eyes to obvious facts. The trouble is not in the marketing methods. No product is handled as cheaply and well. Oil Men Legislation of the greatest importance to the oil industry of California was passed by the present legislature. It provides means whereby the oil operators may cooperate in preventing the enormous loses previously suffered from the flooding of the oil sands by underground water. The bill was drawn by the State Mining Bureau at the invitation of many oil men. Lack of concerted action among oil men has been one of the greatest handicaps of the industry and the fact that a law could be so framed as to meet with the approval of a large majority is indeed remarkable. Copies of the law will soon be distributed to all the oil operators and the State Mining Bureau will continue to assist them in every possible manner. Walle the oil business is the greatest single industry in California it has but slight representation in the legislature because it is concentrated in a few counties. Assemblyman Joe C. Burke, handled the matter on the floor of the house. One of the obstacles in past attempts at legislation has been that few men were able to deal with both the practical and legal phases of the question. Burke has spent many years in operating oil properties and was in a position to speak clearly and forcefully on the need and detail of such legislation. Commendation of his efforts by oil operators is deserved. Some of our Grocery and Grain Prices during our Pure Food Snow, May 10th to may 22nd: Groceries Royal Baking Powder ... 39c K. C.

We hold no brief, for one section over another, but we cannot shut our eyes to obvious facts. The trouble is not in the marketing methods. No product is handled as cheaply and well in the big markets as oranges. The trouble is nearer home. If the California growers would ship quality fruit only, they would soon see profits instead of red ink. There was something akin to prevision in the statement of Woodrow Wilson's in a public letter of October 19, 1912, when he said that under the new freedom American industry would have a new buoyancy of hope, a new energy, a new variety. How true the words have proven to be. Where American industry formerly had the buoyancy of prosperity, it now has the buoyancy of hope. Having enjoyed a period of rest from normal activity, it has a new energy awaiting the return of republican opportunity. And certainly there has been something new in the variety of experience through which American industry has passed. Fortunate it is that American industry never loses hope and the American people never lose the right to vote.

Two of the suits are two-piece Norfolk style gray suits, and the other a three-piece brown suit. The latter is labeled "Hand Sewed Clothes," and the Norfolk suits the Perfection Brand. The lot number 5913 is also given. There are also three dozen knives, thought to have been stolen from a poolroom at Westminster, in the loot. The stuff was taken from two Mexicans, Jose Levez and Antonio Torres at El Modena Tuesday morning, and the sheriff wants to find the owner of the property so that proceedings against the fellows may be started. The suspicions of Constable Jackson at Orange were aroused by the two Mexicans trying to sell the suits along the roads near El Modena, and he took them in custody. They claim they found the stun in a sack alongside the road. Gardner Co., Both phones, 114 N. Los Angeles street.

A WAR INCIDENT One of the huge German 42-centimeter shells opened a grave in the little cemetery in the village of Riche Bourg St. Vaaste, France recently and exploding, lifted a coffin and the skeleton therein fifty feet in the air where bones and splintered wood caught and hung on the side of the church tower. Wind and rain have come, but part of the skeleton still depends from the tower, rattling and swaying in the breeze. A correspondent of The Associated Press, motoring along the British lines, saw the strange sight, perhaps the oddest freak of shell fire of the war. Parts of the skeleton, whose nobody knows, (for the villagers have fled), has dropped to the church yard below, but enough of the bones remain in midair to be identified. Ana for the arrest of I. J.

Polson was arrested two years ago after running into a buggy in Santa Ana, driven by Mrs. Harper of El Modena. He was charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty and was placed on probation for five years. A condition of parole was that he quit drinking. The judge has been informed that Polson is again drinking. He lived in Garden Grove at the time of his arrest, but is now in San Diego. An officer has been sent to arrest him. Warm weather is beginning. Our ice service will add to your comfort at small cost.
