REGISTRATION Voters within the city limits should recollect that unless they register before March 10, they will not be permitted to vote at the municipal election on April 10. Registration clerks in Anaheim report good progress in enrolling the two thousand electors in the city, but there are several hundred who have not yet signed the great register. Every voter in Anaheim should make himself eligible to cast a ballot in the coming election when two trustees, a city clerk and a city treasurer will be chosen. County Clerk Williams reports that ten thousand names out of a total of probably twenty-six thousand in the county have been registered, and that just half of these are republicans. This leaves five thousand to be divided among the democrats, progressives, socialists, prohibitionists, declines to state, etc. While the registration will cease for the municipal election on March 10, it will continue for the presidential preferential primary to be held on May 2, for the state primary in August, and for the general election on Nov. 6. But people living in the city should see to it that their names are on the roll before March 10 or they will be denied the privilege of voting at the municipal election. Recollect that the gardd to past political affiliation who believe in the principles of the republican party and endorse its policies," to unite in the choice of convention delegates. There is nothing new or novel, however, in this phraseology, for it has been copied in every republican convention call since the organization of the party. In other words, the republican party is, and has always been, a truly progressive party, built on a common belief in principles and policies regardless of previous political differences. It is a party national and not sectional and with an open door—and this is its strength and its promise. A DAY OF RECKONING The United States Treasury faces a deficit of over $100,000,000. The party responsible for that deficit must either meet the situation or surrender the reins of power. In other words, the American people demand that a political party either make good or give up. The handwriting on the wall was revealed recently by Representative Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan in a discussion of the Underwood tariff and revenue policies before the house. He showed that the democratic party has failed to make good. "The treasury balance is nearly $100,000,000 less than it was when the republicans were in power," said Mr. Fordney. "The war in Europe is the excuse, but it is not the cause for the deficit. Without war the administration would have been compelled to admit ere this that its tariff law is a complete failure. "Comparing nine months from March to November, 1915, with the corresponding nine months from March to November, 1913, imports showed a gain of $728,716,000."

But people living in the city should see to it that their names are on the roll before March 10 or they will be denied the privilege of voting at the municipal election. Recollect that the old register was cancelled on Dec. 31, and unless you have registered since that date you are not now a voter. THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION CALL The promulgation of the formal call for the republican national convention which is to meet in Chicago, June 7, next, is attracting attention to the revised delegate apportionment adopted last year and now incorporated into it for the first time. By this apportionment the total number of delegates is reduced by 93, practically all of the shrinkage coming in the southern state representation, whose influence in the party deliberations will be proportionately curtailed. The insular possessions are accorded two delegates each, but without voting power, but will, it is understood, appeal to the convention to restore them to full rights and privileges. The noteworthy thing about this call is that it is the first and only substantial step made by any political party in the direction of more equitable apportionment. As a progressive measure for popular rule, this republican innovation outdoes the democratic party, and the progressive party, too for that matter, neither of which have made any change in the ancient and inherited system which both have so roundly denounced. Attention is also being called to the fact that the republican call is a broad invitation not only to republicans, but also to "all other electors without re- "Comparing nine months from March to November, 1915, with the corresponding nine months from March to November, 1913, imports showed a gain of $72,716,000. Customs receipts showed a loss of $76,000,000. The maximum loss of customs receipts that can be attributed to the war in Europe is $5,520,000 per month, and the wa rtax, so-called, is producing $6,800,000 per month, or about $1,300,000 per month more than the loss in customs receipts. Notwithstanding the fact that the war tax is more than making up for the loss in customs receipts, the balance in the general fund declined $75,603,336 from July 31, 1914, to July 31, 1915. On July 31, 1914, the balance was $143,776,800 and one year later it was down to $68,173,000. "The Underwood law started out with a good balance in the terasury. That is not an argument in favor of the Underwood law. Credit for that balance belongs to the preceding republican tariff law. The real question is, what balance will you have at the end of the operation of the Underwood law? "Up to the present time some $85,000,000 has been raised by the so-called war taxes, and notwithstanding this and the fact that importations at present are breaking past records in volume, the balance in the general fund is now down to about $50,000,000. "When the Underwood act is finally repealed and the reckoning is made, it will show some hundreds of millions raised by objectionable methods of taxation—and an empty treasury." The sun rose in eclipse this morning and was partially obscured until 8 o'clock. PREDACEOUS BILLS We hear it consummate best method of incite to destroy predacims.

Mr. Hawkins is the man who supplied the two hundred and fifty foot flag pole for the San Francisco exposition, the tallest single stick flagpole in the world, which $300,000 is invested and which, under normal conditions, employs 357 men, but which has not turned a wheel since June, 1914," said Mr. Hawkins. "Where we formerly had 357 busy men we now have one man with a grease pot to keep the rust off our idle machinery. There has been a slight revival in the last 60 days but we have lost two years of active business. We closed down before the war broke out in Europe, which shows that depression in the lumber business was not due to the war, but to the general business depression which deprived us of a market for lumber products. Our experience was similar to that of other men engaged in logging and lumbering. "You can readily see what the closing down of this small logging business means to industry, not only on the Pacific Coast, but in other parts of the United States. Directly, the throwing out of employment of 357 men means the loss of $220,000 a year in wages, and the loss of another $100,000 a year for supplies for our logging plant; but indirectly it means much more, for when our logging crews are out of employment, a much larger number of men are out of employment in the saw mills and in other industries depending thereon. The $200,000 which we would have paid to the men in our days in California, but predaceous birds and mammals were also abundant. There seems to be a balance established between the two. More game means more food for the enemies of game, and naturally an increase of them. The argument is not that it is less to destroy the enemies of game, but that this method of increasing game species is overemphasized. The hunter too often places the blame for the scarcity of game on hawks, weasels, skunks, etc., when the real blame should go on the hunter himself. So far as we can see predaceous birds and mammals do not gerately decrease any game species under natural conditions. The prime reasons why game is scarce is because too large a toll has been taken by the hunter and food and cover for game has been greatly reduced. Local Notes Tommy Drips and Sam Whisnant were in town on Tuesday from Placentia on a business mission. Adolph Stankey began work Tuesday laying sidewalk on Illinois street. That thoroughfare is to be sidewalked on both sides from Center to Broadway, and Mr. Stankey has the contract for most of the work. A party of old timers were discussing the recent high water the other evening and while some maintained the lower southwest section of Orange-thorpe received some of the river flood waters, others were firm in the belief that the water inundating that section came from the large barranca leading off from the Fullerton hills, and from Carbon canyon. Others averred that the Pacific Coast, but in other parts of the United States. Directly, the throwing out of employment of 357 men means the loss of $220,000 a year in wages, and the loss of another $100,000 a year for supplies for our logging plant; but indirectly it means much more, for when our logging crews are out of employment, a much larger number of men are out of employment in the saw mills and in other industries depending thereon. The $200,000 which we would have paid to the men in our camps, if work could have continued, would have been spent by them for clothing, such as overalls, boots and shoes, gloves, hats and other articles manufactured in Eastern states. These men would have spent the money largely for provisions for the maintenance of their families. To be perfectly frank, perhaps it should be remarked that some of the money would be spent for the products that have made Kentucky and Milwaukee famous. "Practically every industry in the United States suffered as a result of the depression in the lumbering business. Railroads lost transportation business, carpenters had little demand for their services." "Briefly stated, the closing down of any basic industry vitally and disastrously affects almost every other line of industry." PREDACEOUS BIRDS AND ANIMALS We hear it constantly said that the best method of increasing our game is to destroy predaceous birds and mammals. The people who make these statements fail to take into consideration that there are many factors which govern the increase or decrease of species and that the effect of predaceous birds and mammals is but slight in comparison with many other factors. Investigate conditions where game is most numerous and one will find that hawks and other vermin are also very abundant. Not only was game extremely abundant in early A party of old timers were discussing the recent high water the other evening and while some maintained the lower southwest section of Orange-thorpe received some of the river flood waters, others were firm in the belief that the water inundating that section came from the large barranca leading off from the Fullerton hills, and from Carbon canyon. Others averred that a good part of the water rushing down East Orangethorpe avenue was diverted north at Alex Wright's corner and going as far as Al Smith's rancho, found its natural outlet to the west, in which even the lower Orangethorpe country received some river water. Old timers were surprised to learn this fact as that section has always been considered immune from river overflow. TOURIST TRAVEL EXPECTED TO DOUBLE NEXT YEAR $50,000,000, it is Estimated, Will be Left Here in 1916 More than $50,000,000 will be spent in Southern California during 1916 by visiting motorists, according to a prediction based upon statistics gathered by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. More than $25,000,000 was expended here by motoring visitors during the past year, according to the Automobile club, and the development of inter-state and transcontinental touring in America it is safe to say that this amount will be doubled this year as twice the number of foreign cars are expected. The fame of Southern California as a motoring mecca was carried to all points of the continent last year, and throughout the east and north thousands of touring parties are planning to repeat their trip of last year and additional thousands are planning to join them in the hegra to this territory, where the international exposition will remain as an attraction. For gasoline alone, the visitors spent $1,890,000, according to the Auto club estimate, based upon the fact that approximately 35,000 visiting parties applied at club headquarters for touring information. A record was kept of each call received, and questions were asked of each party which later were used in compiling the figures presented today for the first time. It was found that each party spent thirty days or more in the southern part of the state, covering more than 4500 miles of highway during that time. In each instance, according to club officials, the lowest possible figure is given in the estimate, as the amounts of expenditures appear so enormous as to tax credence. For oil, the visitors left $154,000 in Southern California when they went away. It is found that each party used on an average of twenty two quarts of oil while touring the Southland. The average cost of oil is 20 cents per quart. The largest item of expenditure was found to be the daily living expenses. While it is stated by the Automobile club that there were probably an average of more than four persons to heavy rains and washed out roads and bridges Provision Company find that there is considerable body repairing the damage, picking oranges planting.
