TO CONSOLIDATE THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES PACIFIC AND HOME PREPARING TO MERGE IN ORANGE COUNTY MAY RESULT IN CONSOLIDATION THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SYSTEMS Announcement of a merger of the two telephone companies now operating in Orange county may be expected within a few weeks, possibly in the month of March. It is known that inventories have been made by one or both of the phone companies, and this is taken to mean that abolition of the two-phone nuisance long tolerated by business men is near at hand. The Pacific and Home telephone companies operating in Orange county are controlled by the same companies operating the two systems in San Bernardino, Long Beach and other Southern California districts outside of Los Angeles, and it is conceded that the Long Beach and San Bernardino mergers, expected within a short time, will also result in a merger throughout the entire systems, as Long Beach and San Bernardino are the two largest cities where there is active competition between the two companies, and it is in these cities that the merger efforts have centered. At Long Beach, it is reported, the franchise of the Home company is about to be forfeited because it has and is willing to take the trouble to treat the potatoes. The destruction of potato vines after harvesting, while it kills all stages of the insect within the vines, will also kill the parasites which prey on the moth. Destruction of the vines would probably kill more of the parasites than stages of the moth, since the tuber worm is liable to hide under clods and rubbish, while most of those parasitized remain in or on the plants. Experiments indicate that carbon disulphid used at the rate of 2 pounds to 1,000 cubic feet of storage space will kill the larvae and adults and practically all the pupae and eggs within 48 hours. The potatoes are placed in gas tight bins, which easily may be made nearly air tight by lining temporary structures with tarred paper and painting the seams. The carbon disulphid should be placed on the top of the sacks in shallow tin pans. The gas that it generates is heavier than air and sinks through the mass of potatoes. As carbon disulphid vapor is explosive when mixed with air and brought in contact with fire or sparks, or when heated to a sufficiently high temperature, great care should be exercised to keep any spark or fire such as a lighted cigar away from its neighborhood. If tubers are noticeably infested, the fumigation should be repeated in a week in summer or two weeks in winter. Whenever possible, potatoes should be marketed as rapidly as possible, and infested tubers should never be stored unless they can be fumigated. STATE CONTROL OF COUNTY BUDGETS In accordance with the recommendations of the state tax commission, appointed in 1915 to investigate tax reform the following features are includ- such increase in benefits values at 1 per cent and According to the bill thus obtained would be purchasing land to be special use; for carrying mation and irrigation the furtherance of a credits. NEW TAX COLLECT County Tax Collectors has returned from attending the state county tax collectors, the legislative committee that there is a great dilation before the press affecting the tax assessors. Speaking of one bill which was the subject of discussion, Mr. Lambackers want to create of land classifiers, to direction of the present mission. This boardery section of land is classified it according proximity to transport kets, amount of year. Another bill introduced session asks that the tax on the additional property over asses of last year. This used for state purposes would not be paid to extra rate is sought was assessed at $100 $120 this year, the receive the tax collector $20. The meeting of the paratory to a conferencitors and assessors of mittees have been over the bills and con- outside of Los Angeles, and it is conceded that the Long Beach and San Bernardino mergers, expected within a short time, will also result in a merger throughout the entire systems, as Long Beach and San Bernardino are the two largest cities where there is active competition between the two companies, and it is in these cities that the merger efforts have centered. At Long Beach, it is reported, the franchise of the Home company is about to be forfeited because it has not complied with the city's ruling requiring an underground system, and at San Bernardino the Pacific franchise is about to expire and instead of granting a renewal the San Bernardino council has asked the Pacific company to effect a consolidation. From the activity evident on the part of the two companies, it is evident that "something is in the air," and all indications point to a merger in the near future. On account of the present high price of copper wire and other phone materials, it is pointed out that either system will bring a higher price now than ever before, and the present will prove to be the most advantageous time for the merger to be effected. POTATO TUBER MOTH Destructive Field Pest and Often Seriously Injures Stored Product The potato tuber moth in mild dry climates often works very serious injury to stored potatoes. It also is an annoying and at times a destructive field pest where careless planting and harvesting, combined with proper climatic conditions, give it an opportunity to damage the growing plant. The larvae of the moth feeds to some extent on the leaves, but does its principal damage to the plant by mining downward through the stem, killing that section of the plant and greatly reducing the leaf area. In the case of the tuber in the ground or stored, the larvae channel through the flesh and either ruin the potato and cause it to rot, or render it so unsightly as to make it undesirable for food. The bureau of entomology, United States department of agriculture, recently has published Professional Paper No. 427, The Potato Tuber Moth, in which it recommends two methods of control to the potato grower and handler. These are, according to J. E. Graf, author of the bulletin, cultural and harvesting methods which Whenever possible, potatoes should be marketed as rapidly as possible, and infested tubers should never be stored unless they can be fumigated. STATE CONTROL OF COUNTY BUDGETS In accordance with the recommendations of the state tax commission, appointed in 1915 to investigate tax reform the following features are included among bills now before the legislature: The creation of a state board of authorization with authority to examine and pass upon the budget of he counties to be drawn up in a prescribed form and submitted for ratification. The fixing of a limit beyond which the aggregate tax levy for a county could go. This limit would be fixed at 5 per cent above the levy for the year immediately preceding. Creation of a permanent board of state officials to review the county budgets, consisting of the controller and three members of the board of control. Provision for a systematic gathering and recording of the physical data upon which land values and assessments are fixed. Establishment of a tax upon the increased value of land not used beneficially. The first three of these proposals are included in a bill it introduced in the senate by Frank L. Benson of San Jose. It was drawn up by Clyde L. Seavey, chairman of the tax commission. The creation of a "board of authorization" is paralleled by a proposed constitutional amendment by Senator W. F. Chandler of Fresno, constituting the three boards of control members, with the state controller, a permanent budget board. According to the Benson bill, the officers of a county or municipality would be required to file with the governing body of the subdivision an annual budget, together with a statement of income and expenditures for the two fiscal years immediately preceding. These budgets would in turn be incorporated in a general city or county budget, which would be transmitted to the board of authorization for review. Only three fourths vote of the electors of the city or county could override the findings of the state board. The U. S geologist has available for daily statement on gold, silver, copper, California in 1915. The output of these five years is $32,263,844, amended with 1914, or reports shows that the 1915 was $22,442,296; $1,788,800; the silver ounces, an increase on the copper, 40,751,622 crease of 10,243,933; 4,579,245 pounds, and 322 pounds; and the pounds, an increase. Details of the feature the state are given which may be obtained to the director Washington. THE SMALL O There was recent New York Times a good merchandise neighborhood city. I miracle presentation the small city stores tunities of the intermerchant. For two weeks his store, the property conventional series newspapers. He was not going to ronize his store more were his neighbors make it good business patronize him. He proposed to me for any resident of the big city for dran anteed that he we the larvae channel through the flesh and either ruin the potato and cause it to rot, or render it so unsightly as to make it undesirable for food. The bureau of entomology, United States department of agriculture, recently has published Professional Paper No. 427, The Potato Tuber Moth, in which it recommends two methods of control to the potato grower and handler. These are, according to J. E. Graf, author of the bulletin, cultural and harvesting methods which minimize damage and the use of disulphid of carbon to fumigate stored potatoes. The series of experiments indicate that the following measures in the field will do much to minimize the damage from this moth: Plant as deep as practicable (5 to 6 inches) The ridge culture—i.e., ridge the rows. Harvest as early as possible. Harvest before the potato tops become so dry as to drive the partially grown larvae to descend and work on the tuber. In harvesting the tubers several rules must be followed to keep the tubers from infestation: The sacks should never be covered with potato tops, as the larvae leave these when they wilt and enter the potatoes. The sacks should be sewed as soon as possible and hauled from the field. Potatoes should never be left in the field or exposed to the moth over night. All cull potatoes should be gathered up within two weeks and either fed to stock at once or destroyed. If left in the field they are a menace to the neighbors and to the grower himself for the following crop. After the potatoes are harvested they should be marketed at once, unless the grower has storage facilities annual budget, together with a statement of income and expenditures for the two fiscal years immediately preceding. These budgets would in turn be incorporated in a general city or county budget, which would be transmitted to the board of authorization for review. Only three fourths vote of the electors of the city or county could override the findings of the state board. It is provided in the bill that the limit of a 5 per cent increase may be exceeded when, by special election, three fourths of the voters desire it. According to Clyde L. Seavey, the father of the bill, the experience of New Mexico, Colorado and Oregon in demanding budget systems by the cities and counties, and examining them through some central authority, with the experience of the whole state in mind, has demonstrated its practicability. In order to bring about the more systematic gathering and recording of basic tax material, according to the commission, bills introduced in the senate by King and in the assembly by Mathews would authorize the board of control to cooperate with the supervisors of the various counties in gathering data concerning all such physical facts. It is specified that the information so collected would become a matter of public record and would be kept in the assessors' offices. One third the cost would be borne by the state and two-thirds by the counties. "It is advocated that a heavier burden be placed upon unimproved and undeveloped lands than is placed upon those that are beneficially used," says the commission in its report. In response to this, bills and amendments have been proposed by Benson and Assemblyman Baldwin to tax the increase in the value of unimproved land at 2 per cent annually, and to tax annual budget, together with a statement of income and expenditures for the two fiscal years immediately preceding. These budgets would in turn be incorporated in a general city or county budget, which would be transmitted to the board of authorization for review. Only three fourths vote of the electors of the city or county could override the findings of the state board.

NEW TAX BILLS County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb has returned from Oroville, after attending the state convention of county tax collectors. Mr. Lamb is on the legislative committee, and says that there is a great deal of new legislation before the present state body, affecting the tax collectors and the assessors. Speaking of one bill in particular which was the subject of some lengthy discussion, Mr. Lamb stated that its backers want to create a state board of land classifiers, to work under the direction of the present state tax commission. This board would visit every section of land in the state and classify it according to productivity, proximity to transportation and markets, amount of yearly income, etc. Another bill introduced at the last session asks that the state receive the tax on the additional valuation of property over assessed valuation of last year. This money, is to be used for state purposes only and would not be paid to the county. No extra rate is sought, but if the land was assessed at $100 last year and at $120 this year, the state would receive the tax collected on the added $20. The meeting of the board was preparatory to a conference with the auditors and assessors of the state. Committees have been appointed to go over the bills and confer with the other members. The report to the legislators taxes, heat, light, clerk hire, delivery and many other charges. He declared frankly that he would offer "bargains" on only one kind of goods at a time. On them he would knock profit, expecting to make his proper profit from the quantity of regular goods they would buy at regular prices when they came into his store. Then he dropped, for once, into a more personal vein, but still maintained his logical self-respecting stand. "I own a home here," he said. "The taxes I pay on my home go to pay the expenses of the community, as does a portion of the rent I pay for my store. Therefore a part of every dollar that you spend in my store comes back to you in some way. The dollar you spend in the big city goes to help that community. In buying there you help to educate other children at the expense of your own; you give them cleaner streets to walk through and better parks to play in. Bring your civic patriotism into play, especially so when you can do it without hurting your pocketbook." On the evening of the opening day his store was filled with shoppers. It has been pretty well filled ever since. He kept his promises. He has succeeded where fellow merchants prophesied his failure. And he has helped other progressive merchants as well as himself, by turning the tide of dry goods shopping back from the big city to the local stores. He has helped the purchasers, too, because they have really got better goods and better service for their money. And he has helped the whole city by keeping that money at home.

S geological survey, now has available for distribution its annual statement on the production of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc in California in 1915. The total value of the output of these five metals for the year is $32,263,844, an increase, as compared with 1914, of $6,553,199. The reports shows that the gold output in 1915 was $22,442,296, an increase of $1,788,800; the silver, 1,471,859 fine ounces, an increase of 206,897 ounces; the copper, 40,751,625 pounds, an increase of 10,243,933 pounds; the lead, 4,579,245 pounds, an increase of 327,322 pounds; and the zinc, 13,094,032 pounds, an increase of 12,704,561 lbs. Details of the features of mining in the state are given in the booklet, which may be obtained upon application to the director of the survey at Washington. THE SMALL CITY STORE There was recently printed in the New York Times a story of how a dry goods merchant won success in a small neighboring city. It serves as an admirable presentation of the merits of the small city store, and of the opportunities of the intelligent small city merchant. For two weeks before he opened his store, the proprietor ran an unconventional series of ads in the local newspapers. He announced that he was not going to ask people to patronize his store merely because they were his neighbors—he was going to make it good business for them to patronize him. He proposed to make it unnecessary for any resident of his town to go to the big city for dry goods. He guaranteed that he would keep a stock, SALT LAKE ROAD WILL NOT REACH ORANGE Will Run Its Trains From Anaheim Over S. P. Rails The Salt Lake is not going to Orange, at least the main line will not. A branch freight line, from Yorba Linda to Olive, Villa Park and McPherson, will touch that city, provided there is business in sight to justify the extension. This was the statement of B. M. Jones, district freight agent for the Salt Lake following the action of the Santiago association in voting to erect a packing house and pre-cooling plant there. "We cannot reach Oronge with the main line," he said, "because we cannot get across the Santa Fe tracks to reach the Santiago house. We are going to use the Southern Pacific tracks from Anaheim to Santa Ana." However, we are going to build a freight line from LaHabra to Yorba Linda, and down to Olive, Villa Park and McPherson. It may be extended to Santa Ana to complete the loop later. We will run a branch into Orange if the Santiago directors desire it to be done. We are sorry that conditions do not admit of placing Orange on the main line, but it is impossible. The branch line would be of service to shippers, particularly when there is a shortage of cars. That would be an advantage in having the branch line." TREASURY DEFICIT On February 13 the senate finance committee submitted its report on the prospective treasury deficit at the end of the next fiscal year. The report placed the figures at $333,500,000. It recommended that the administration revenue bill be amended to authorize a bond issue of $195,256,000 instead of $100,000,000, and that the authorization for certificates of indebtedness be made $500,000,000 instead of $300,-000,000. The recommendation for increases is based on revised treasury department estimates, which place the Federal government's expenditures for the fiscal year 1918 at $1,500,000,000.

He announced that he was not going to ask people to patronize his store merely because they were his neighbors—he was going to make it good business for them to patronize him. He proposed to make it unnecessary for any resident of his town to go to the big city for dry goods. He guaranteed that he would keep a stock, which though small, would be as good in quality and up to dateness as the metropolis offered, and that anything which he did not have in stock he would get. Thus he would save his fellow citizens the necessity of spending carfare, time and energy on distant shopping trips. He could really give better satisfaction, he explained, than the big city merchant could. He was near at hand. It was easy to run in. If the goods didn't suit, it was easy to return them. And unlike the big city dealer, he would make no trouble in exchanging them. Moreover, in the big city it was hard for the out of town purchaser to get credit. He himself would always extend reasonable credit. The big city stores, he said, had not got ahead because they specialized on good service. He would give as good service as the best of them. He would use a motor truck and deliver any purchase, regardless of how much or how little it cost, to any part of the city, cheerfully and promptly. He proposed to sell them everything just as cheap, and possibly cheaper, than the big-city stores did. He could do it, he explained, because, while the big establishments could buy a little cheaper than he could by ordering in larger quantities, he had the advantage of them in paying less for rent, Ferdinand R. Bain, president of the Southern Counties Gas Company of California, arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday from a hurried business trip throughout the east, reaching Los Angeles on the fifth anniversary of the company. It was just five years ago that the Southern Counties Gas company was organized and President Bain took charge. At that time the holdings of the company were small, with about 6000 consumers using Southern Counties gas. Today the company has grown until its mains reach into three counties Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino, and at the same time supply more than 40,000 consumers. The total mains of the company, if placed in one straight line, would extend from Tia Juana, Mexico to the Klamath Lakes in Oregon, a distance of more than 800 miles. President Bain made the trip east early last month with Rufus C. Dawes, a director of the company and president of the Metropolitan Gas and Electric company of Chicago.

According to the story, the Japanese dealers in the north got their fingers on a big bulk of the crop. They forced prices down to a point where they frightened the little fellows, who felt that the bottom had dropped out of the market and it was time to unload.
