GIBBS LUMBER MAYOR OF LOS ANGELES URGES STATE DIVISION Angered Because of Discrimination Shown in Federal Appropriation Angered by the cutting of the $75,000 annual federal appropriation for the Los Angeles harbor to $25,000 and by other acts which he declared unfair to Los Angeles and Southern California, Mayor Woodman of Los Angeles, reiterated his state division sentiments and advocated early launching of a movement for making a seapross an islandless sea, according to a recent bulletin issued by the department of commerce.

APRICOT GROWERS Angered by the cutting of the $75,000 annual federal appropriation for the Los Angeles harbor to $25,000 and by other acts which he declared unfair to Los Angeles and Southern California, Mayor Woodman of Los Angeles, reiterated his state division sentiments and advocated early launching of a movement for making a separate state of Southern California. "While northern California," says the mayor, "get big appropriations for the San Francisco harbor, Sacramento river works and other jobs, Los Angeles' harbor works appropriation is cut from $75,000 per year to $25,000. Los Angeles ought to be getting at least $150,000 from the government for her harbor works." "I'm tired of this discrimination. The southern half of California pays 65 per cent of the state tax. The northern half of the state has seventy per cent of the bond monies spent in it and 85 per cent of the state's employees come from the northern half of California. "It's time the state of Southern California came into being. With two United States senators instead of none, and her congressmen, Southern California would force recognition of her needs from the federal government. But we cannot expect more than we are getting when both our United States senators are northerners. The northern half of the state is out of sympathy with the southern half and her needs. The way to get our needs attended to is to divide the state." One of the chief reasons for the division of the state is that Los Angeles harbor would receive at Washington the proper consideration which it now falls to get because the northern portion of the state predominates. The mayor said that Southern California would naturally be a dry state and that the capital should be located not in Los Angeles but in some attractive smaller city, like Pasadena. "We are getting the worst of it as things are and will continue to do so as long as Southern California allows Northern California to get away with the chief benefits. There are a hundred reasons why the state should be divided, and a movement is on foot to submit the question to the voters. I believe it will carry," said Mayor Woodman. APRICOT GROWERS FORMING ASSOCIATION Orange County Will Have Two Members of a Directorate of 25 R. E. Huntington, of Simi, who was in this county several weeks as organizer for the California Prune and Apricot Growers, Inc., states that he has received word that almost $500,000 worth of stock has been subscribed and that the election of trustees may be held soon after January 1. “This means that apricot growers of Orange county must sign up at once, if they wish to take part in this election,” he writes. “They are entitled to elect two growers from this district as trustees on a board of 25 in the state. "The California Prune and Apricot Growers, Inc., are organized as a capital stock corporation and this voting trust, composed of twenty-five bona fide prune and apricot growers, is created which will hold the voting power of the common stock for a term of seven years, thus assuring that the business will always be operated under the control of the growers and for the benefit of the growers. “This is the plan of organization, which the Associated Raisin Co., Inc., of Fresno has been operating upon during the past four years with most wonderful results. In spite of an increase of 300 per cent of crop during this time, they have by means of good packing and advertising been able to market their product at the best prices ever received. “The Peach Growers Association which started last year, has been equally successful. “The prune and apricot growers have every reason to be equally successful, as they have the experience of these other associations to profit by, and have some of the very best men in the state interested in their success, including Col. Harris Weinstein of the Pacific long distance flyer, however, goes the western branch of the family one better and has gained the distinction of twice annually making the longest continuous flight of any bird in the world.

There are a hundred reasons why the state should be divided, and a movement is on foot to submit the question to the voters. I believe it will carry," said Mayor Woodman. TO PROBE MEXICO ARMS SMUGGLING Representative Kahn of this state is on the trail of smugglers of arms and ammunition into Mexico. He has offered a resolution in the house providing for an investigation of reports that there is a bold conspiracy to send large quantities of munitions of war into the southern republic. Mr. Kahn's resolution would have government officers of the customs division investigate to determine whether or not there has been any collusion or connivance on the part of government officials in connection with the unlawful forwarding of arms and ammunition into Mexico. Special agents of the customs division and operatives of the department of justice are looking for evidence of a plot in which Americans are believed to be implicated for the supplying of munitions and moneys to Mexicans. New York and New Orleans bankers are suspected of being connected with the conspiracy. GOLDEN PLOVER IS LONGEST FLYER The golden plover of the Pacific ocean migrates from Alaska to the Hawaiian islands—a flight of 2000 miles packing and advertising been able to market their product at the best prices ever received. "The Peach Growers Association which started last year, has been equally successful. "The prune and apricot growers have every reason to be equally successful, as they have the experience of these other associations to profit by, and have some of the very best men in the state interested in their success, including Col. Harris Weinstock, State Market Director. "Under the terms of our subscription agreement, unless 75 per cent of the acreage in the state is signed up by March 1, the organization will not attempt to start, for it would be useless to do so, unless we have enough fruit to control the market. If 75 per cent of the acreage can be secured, the association agrees to enter into three years' contracts, paying 8 cents per pound down on the apricots when delivered, and agrees to pack and sell the fruit at the very best prices obtainable and pay back to the grower at the end of the season all that is received above the 8 cents which is advanced, less operating expenses. "Some of the great advantages of organization will be: Elimination of speculation; stabilization of prices; standardization of pack; and reduction to the minimum cost of getting fruit from the producer to consumer. "There are 25,000 acres of non-bearing apricot trees in the state, and on the other hand the consumption of dried apricots in the United States is less than it was twelve or fifteen years ago. "It is, therefore, very important that our apricot growers get together and enlarge our market through advertising, if we expect to obtain fair prices in the future." SALT LAKE RAILWAY IS COMING SOON It is Confidently Expected That Trains Will be Running Into this City By August 1st In the opinion of C. E. Drew the Salt Lake railroad will be running trains into Whittier by February 1st, next, and will be in Anaheim along about the first of August. Mr. Drew states that Robert Sherer & Co., of Los Angeles, who have the contract for the excavating and grading have already commenced work. Just this side of the Pico bridge the construction camp has been installed and teams and men are busy moving the dirt. A twenty foot cut will be necessary to reduce the grade from the present level of the tracks to the higher elevation of the Praeger tract. The road will follow the general direction of the Rincon ditch and at the new Workman-Mill boulevard the track will be elevated. A fill on either side of the highway has been made and the county supervisors earlier arranged with the railroad to lower the boulevard at the point of the overhead railway crossing. This will make easier the work of the contractors having the building of the trestle for the elevation as the height will not be so great. There will be overhead tracks to lay at Pickering and the Whittier boulevard, but the remainder of the route to this city will require but little excavation and only fills of moderate size. Dr. Drew is confident that before August of next year the new railroad will be completed into this valley, all of the depots and extra sliding constructed and everything running smoothly. Attorneys for Mrs. H. W. R. Strong, of Whittier, are seeking to enjoin the PROTECTIVE TARIFF NEEDED TO STIMULATE BUSINESS Develops Industries Which Operate at Full Capacity, Reduces Unit Cost of Production The burden of the high cost of living which now rests upon the American people serves to emphasize an important fact and a still more important principle. In 1912 the democratic party charged the high cost of living to the protective tariff, and falsely asserted that although the workingman of the United States is better paid than the workman in a free trade country, yet they pay so much more for the articles they consume that they are injured rather than benefited. The enactment of the democratic tariff law not only failed to reduce the cost of living, even before the war began, but brought about an industrial depression which caused suffering and want throughout the length and breadth of the land. In the present abnormal but much boasted prosperity, the cost of living has advanced far more rapidly than the increase in wages. We have seen many of the necessaries of life increase 40 to 60 per cent in cost while wage increases of five and ten per cent have been heralded by the administration as great achievements of democratic policies. Contrast that with conditions under a prosperity produced by a protective tariff. A report made by the British board of trade in 1911, showing the result of an investigation made by that organization in the United States upon the subject of wages and cost of living, admits that the wages of the American workingman would buy far more than the wages of the British workingman, and still leave the former far more money to lay away in savings banks or life insurance policies than is possible for his INHERITANCE TAX REVENUE For six months of what the state calls its settlement year, or from May 1 to December 1, 1916, the revenue from inheritance taxes was, in round numbers $2,400,000, according to State Controller John S. Chambers, whose biennial report to the governor and the legislature is now in the hands of the state printer. At this rate, the controller asserts that the total for the year should reach $4,500,-000 and possibly $5,000,000. There are a number of very large estates now being probated and this fact, in addition to the ordinary run of estates, almost guarantees $4,500,000 for the year. The inheritance tax collections approximately were $4,500,000 for the fiscal year 1912-13 and for each of the two years proceeding; they then jumped to $2,500,000; then to $3,000,000; then to $3,500,000, and now $4,500,000 seems assured. The increase in the percentage cost of collection, however, has been very slight. For example, in the fiscal year of 1907-08 the cost was .037, while for the fiscal year 1915-16 it was .040. The office and field forces, of course, have been increased in order to meet the added volume of business, but that volume has been so great that the percentage has been held down. It is questionable whether any other public business of equal magnitude is carried on at such a slight cost. The controller takes emphatic ground in favor of amending the present inheritance tax law so as to exempt the wife from paying a tax upon her own half of the community property and to place her upon an equal footing with the husband. As the law now stands, when the wife dies, the husband retains not only his half of the community interest without the payment of a cent of taxes, but also the wife's half. This is a glaring discrimination. It is true that wife is Dr. Drew is confident that before August of next year the new railroad will be completed into this valley, all of the depots and extra siding constructed and everything running smoothly. Attorneys for Mrs. H. W. R. Strong, of Whittier, are seeking to enjoin the Salt Lake railroad from running its new branch down the "main street" of Picoville, a property she claims as her own. Representatives of the company appeared in court in Los Angeles Tuesday on an order to show cause why they should not suspend operations. Mrs. Strong's contention is that the new line is obstructing a public highway. She alleges that there is a road along the property line that has been open since Governor Pico's attempt in 1867, to found the town of Picoville. According to Mrs. Strong the new line runs down the center of "Main" street in "Picoville" for a distance of some 500 feet. At present a fifteen-foot embankment has been constructed for the overhead track across the Workman-Mill road. The new division of the Salt Lake enters Whittier at one end of the disputed piece of property. The strip is some 300 feet long and contains approximately seven acres of land. The boundary line the court will have to locate between Mrs. Strong's property and the tract which is now jointly owned by the people contesting her petition, extends from a point a short distance west of the Ralph McNees residence on the county road to the point on the Workman-Mill road, where the Salt Lake tracks are to be constructed. The engineers for the railway company have paid little attention to the action of Mrs. Strong's attorneys and have gone ahead with their work. COAL OIL TO THE RESCUE On account of the shortage of properly insulated freight cars, the railroads are furnishing to shippers of produce, ordinary box cars lined with paper and equipped with kerosene heaters. The Standard Oil company informs us that shippers of apples and potatoes, apples particularly, have taken ordinance, but the remainder of the route to this city will require but little excavation and only fills of moderate size.

Chambers, in his biennial report intended for the coming legislature, has a number of short chapters touching upon various important subjects. In the matter of the emergency fund which is the fund to be drawn upon to help out an office, department, institution or commission should its funds be collected and taken away from a protective tariff. A report made by the British board of trade in 1911, showing the result of an investigation made by that organization in the United States upon the subject of wages and cost of living, admits that the wages of the American workingman would buy far more than the wages of the British workingman, and still leavethe former far more money to lay away in savings banks or life insurance policies than is possible for his British cousin. Wages were found to be 130 per cent higher in the United States than in England and Wales, whilethe American paid only 52 per cent more for food and rent, though he ate more and better food and lived in a better house. So much for the facts. Now forthe principle. While a protective tariff puts a handicap upon competition from abroad, it encourages investment in domestic enterprises,and thus creates competition at home. By developing industries which operate at full capacity,and thereby reducingthe unit costof production,a protective tariff ultimately reducesthe costofproducttothe consumer.

COAL OIL TO THE RESCUE On account of the shortage of properly insulated freight cars, the railroads are furnishing to shippers of produce, ordinary box cars lined with paper and equipped with kerosene heaters. The Standard Oil company informs us that shippers of apples and potatoes, apples particularly, have taken to the idea and are now taking ordinary cars from the railroads and equipping them with heaters. The company's main station at Tacoma, the report says, sold out its entire stock of heaters in a week, to parties in the fruit packing districts of the Northwest, and still the cry is, more heaters. Most of these heaters will go East and never come back, but the fruit crop is moving, thanks to the efficiency and reliability of the modern kerosene heater. A 300-pound man stood gazing longingly at the nice things displayed in a haberdasher's window for a marked-down sale. A friend stopped to inquire if he was thinking of buying shirts or pajamas. "Gosh, no!" replied the fat man wistfully. "The only thing that fits me ready made is a handkerchief." Has anyone tried spraying a tree with sulphate of iron to cure chlorosis of the leaves? It is worth the experiment, because there are records of restoring the green color of paled plants by this process, while at the same time the growth of the plants was restored. The observation that led to this was the exudation of sap found occurring from the cells of the white leaves of the corn plant suffering from chlorosis. The population of the United States continues to shift to the cities, according to estimates announced by the census bureau. The estimates, based on the rate of population increased from 1909 to 1910, disclosed that 40.9 per cent of the country's inhabitants now live in cities of more than 8000 as against 38.9 per cent in 1910. The entire population of continental United States for 1916 has already been estimated at 102,017,312. The total in the states, territories and United States possessions is put at 112,444,620. Ten states have taken census since the last Federal census in 1910 and seven show population increases. Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming decreased from 1910 to 1915, the greatest reduction being in Wyoming, 2.9 per cent. The least increase was in Iowa, with a growth of but 6 per cent. The greatest increase was 22.5 per cent in Florida. STATE EMERGENCY FUND State Controller John S. Chambers, in his biennial report intended for the coming legislature, has a number of short chapters touching upon various important subjects. In the matter of the emergency fund which is the fund to be drawn upon to help out an office, department, institution or commission should its funds be depleted, he takes the ground that the total of such a fund should not exceed $100,000, the figure fixed two years ago. Prior to that time it had been $75,000. Chambers takes the ground that a large emergency fund would be a temptation—an invitation to draw upon it for matters that really would not be emergencies. The controller repeats in his present report the warning issued two years ago against exempting this or that class of property from taxation. He points out that the state under the present system of taxation is not directly concerned in this policy, but that the counties and the cities are, and that where any class of property is exempted then a proportionate additional burden is thrown upon classes of property not exempted. He takes the broad ground, in addition, that the policy of exempting property from taxation is wrong in principle. The report states that careful calculations show the state government is losing at least $250,000 a year because of jitney and automobile competition with the electric and steam roads. These roads are taxed by the state upon their gross earnings. The automobiles have cut into these gross earnings sufficiently to reduce their totals so that the loss of tax revenue to the state is fully a quarter of a million dollars.

It has been shown that heredity in wheat seed is not as important as good soil and cultural methods. Good seed, good soil and good farming count for more in crop producing than fancy variety. ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Stoke Christmas Trees:— That trees have been cut and taken off the highways, stolen presumably Gets Final Judgment:— Final judgment has been given Mrs. A. C. Gale in the action against the Petroleum Development company, and the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company; the latter the insurance concern in which the oil company carried a policy. Gale fell off a trestle January 18 of this year while in the performance of his duties. The accident happened during a violent rainstorm and Gale stunned by the fall, lay exposed to the elements for several hours. He died ten weeks later and Mrs. Gale, ORANGE COUNTY NOTES Stole Christmas Trees:— That trees have been cut and taken off the highways, stolen presumably for Christmas trees, was reported to District Attorney West by T. E. Stephenson, member of the county board of forestry. Three Jerusalem pines on West Fifth street have been stolen this week. These trees are now two years old, and those that were stolen were among the best specimens on the road. Friday morning the district attorney instructed the motorcycle officers to patrol the highways on which the county has planted trees, and further depredations may be interrupted. "It is a queer person who can enjoy a Christmas centered around a stolen Christmas tree," said Stephenson, "especially when a tree can be bought in the markets for a few dimes." Costly New Church:— Friday there was recorded a deed for the property that has been bought by the First Church of Christian Scientists of Santa Ana as a site for a fine new church. The property lies on the north side of Tenth street, between Main and Sycamore street, and comprises a strip that has a frontage of 125 feet on Main and 125 feet on Sycamore. The price paid Mrs. W. A. Zimmerman for the property is $8084.50. Soon after the first of the new year Petroleum Development company, and the United States Fidelity and Guaranty company, the latter the insurance concern in which the oil company carried a policy. Gale fell off a trestle January 18 of this year while in the performance of his duties. The accident happened during a violent rainstorm and Gale stunned by the fall, lay exposed to the elements for several hours. He died ten weeks later and Mrs. Gale, through Attorney E. J. Marks and Attorney H. H. Coyle, brought action against the development company and the insurance company. The hearing was held before a referee for the State Industrial Accident commission and later Mrs. Gale was awarded $2,490 damages. Seeking to get a second hearing of the case, attorneys for the defendants gave notice that they would file a writ of review. The writ was not filed within the stipulated time, however, and attorneys for Mrs. Gale have received notice of final judgment. Smallpox in Brea Canyon:— A. M. Davis of Brea canyon is suffering from smallpox. Dr. Charleston called on Mr. Davis Tuesday to treat him for what had been reported as grip, but upon examination the physician found a well-developed case of smallpox. While the case is a very pronounced one it is not thought to be dangerous. Mr. Davis has not been away from his home locality since Thanksgiving and cannot account for where he contracted the disease. A bank account may help to turn shadows into sunshine.
