WILL INVESTIGATE OUR POPULATION FIGURES Big Discrepancy Between Federal and Directory Enumerators. For the purpose of ascertaining if a fraud was perpetrated upon the county in connection with the taking of the census of Anaheim township last year under the direction of the board of supervisors, which resulted in the salary of Justice of the Peace Howard being increased from $50 to $100 per month, the board of supervisors has directed District Attorney L. A. West to make a thorough investigation of the matter. The census taken last year under direction of the board gave Anaheim township a population of 9168. The federal census of the township just reported a few weeks ago gives the population as 6936, a difference of 2232. The wide discrepancy in the figures was commented upon by all members of the board. The question was brought before the board by Supervisor Finley, who made a motion that the salary of Justice Howard be reduced to $50 per month because of the federal census failing to give the township sufficient population to justify the $100 salary. Before Finley's motion was put to a vote it was discovered that the law provides that once the salary is increased as provided by the code it cannot be reduced. Justice Howard's salary was increased under the county government act, the salary being based upon the federal census of 1910. The law provides, however, that the board of supervisors may have the census of a township taken every four years for the purpose of fixing salaries, and it was under this procedure that Judge Howard's salary of your forward looking people. "Fit for an empire your own borders, you give of your confidence, your resolution, your genius, your spirit to make the greater republic and share in its triumphs. Your state sent forward many outriders for the procession of American advancement. Your state quaffed the cup of confidence when the older states clung to the assurances of conservation and the republic owes much of its marvel of progress to the onward spirit of the west. You in the west beneath the surface of materialism touched the springs of social justice, and irrigated the desert of human selfishness. "You in the west led in bringing womanhood into the full participation of citizenship, and you in the west gave us the inspiring example of America excelling in manhood and womanhood in order to lead in human achievement. "Out of the east came constitutional government and its guaranties, out of the west came the widening of opportunity and new inspiration; and the blend of these, in the harmonized resolution of the one with the glowing spirit of the other comes the impelling thought of America. "Confident of itself, reassured concerning its people, committed to self-government, fraternizing with the world, but jealous of our freedom and resolved to maintain it. "Today, for example, you have come here from the Pacific Coast of our country. I do not doubt that Americans on the coast are troubled in their minds about the Oriental question, as it is called. That question raises every interpretation of our watchword 'America First', for it involves four sets of obligations. It involves our obligations to great foreign powers; it involves the obligations of all America toward one group of American BREA FIGHT FOR SPECIAL UNpopular Decision A WIN Fight fons at night got more worth of milling it wasn't even onclusion of the rn "Red" Matthews Frankie Rogers which the referee gave the decision of the Mother O into the ring and fight that may lea The Matthews close and much more been laid on the decision against his Anaheim friend and knocked Red floor.

The club SUPERVISORS REJECT BIDS On the ground that bids for the paving of one mile of Euclid avenue and one block of Broad street in the Third road district were too high the Board of Supervisors Tuesday rejected the bids and made arrangements to readvertise the work at next week's meeting. The Los Angeles Paving company was the only bidder. On the Euclid avenue job the bid was $29,666.49, while the Broad street bid was $4,124.50. Euclid avenue is an extension of Garden Grove road and the mile of paving called for would have connected the Garden Grove road with the Orangethorpe road. Broad street runs east and west along the south limit of Anaheim. The proposed paving would connect Los Angeles and Lemon streets. On recommendation of County Engineer McBride the board accepted the improvement work done on Collins provides that once the salary is increased as provided by the code it cannot be reduced. Justice Howard's salary was increased under the county government act, the salary being based upon the federal census of 1910. The law provides, however, that the board of supervisors may have the census of a township taken every four years for the purpose of fixing salaries, and it was under this procedure that Judge Howard's salary was increased to $100 per month. The county census was taken by S. A. Kaasen, of Los Angeles, city directory publisher. Kaasen turned in his report on the census to the board on December 30, 1919, and swore under oath that the population of the township was 9,168, and filed with the board a list of the residents of the township. After Supervisor Finley found that Judge Howard's salary could not be reduced he changed his motion in order to provide for the investigation. District Attorney West was unable to state just what course he would follow in making the investigation. At the time the federal census was announced, public officials and business men of Anaheim expressed considerable surprise over the big difference between the county and federal census and advanced the opinion that the federal census was far from complete. If this is found to be true it will account for the discrepancy between the two totals. In spite of the honor of these oriental peoples and in spite of their contributions to the world's advancement, it is conceivable that they may be so different in racial characteristics or in manner of life or practice from other peoples of equal honor and achievement, that no matter whether it be on the soil of one or upon the soil of the other, these differences, without raising any question of inferiority, superiority, or inequality, may create as I believe they have created upon our Pacific Coast, without blame to either side, a friction that must be recognized. The nation owes it to the Pacific Coast to recognize that fact. The Nation owes it to the Pacifis Coast states to stand behind them, in necessary measures consistent with our national honor to relieve them of their difficulties. "The problem incident to racial differences must be accepted as one existing in fact and must be adequately met for the future security and tranquility of our people. We have learned during the anxieties of world war the necessity of making the citizenship of this republic, not only American in heart ad soul but American in every sympathy and every aspiration. "No one can tranquilly contemplate the future of this republic without an anxiety for abundant provision for admission to our shores of only the immigrant who can be assimilated and thoroughly imbued with the American spirit. "From the beginning of the republic America has been a haven to the oppressed and the aspiring from all resolved to maintain it. "Today, for example, you have come here from the Pacific Coast of our country. I do not doubt that Americans on the coast are troubled in their minds about the Oriental question, as it is called. That question raises every interpretation of our watchword 'America First', for it involves four sets of obligations. It involves our obligations to great foreign powers; it involves the obligations of all America toward one group of American states, and their peoples, but it also involves the obligations of that group of states to the nation. "There is abundant evidence of the dangers which lurk in racial differences. I do not say racial inequalities, I say racial differences. I am ever ready to recognize that the civilization of the orient is older than ours, that her peoples have their proud and honorable traditions. "In spite of the honor of these oriental peoples and in spite of their contributions to the world's advancement, it is conceivable that they may be so different in racial characteristics or in manner of life or practice from other peoples of equal honor and achievement, that no matter whether it be on the soil of one or upon the soil of the other, these differences, without raising any question of inferiority, superiority, or inequality, may create as I believe they have created upon our Pacific Coast, without blame to either side, a friction that must be recognized.

HARDING ON JAP QUESTION To the delegation of Californians who made a pilgrimage to Harding's front porch last week, the senator spoke, in part, as follows: "Let me say to you Californians, and to all this company of Americans today, I like the spirit of California. One gets it first in the story of mission days, then in the romance of stalwart men in revealing the mineral wealth of hill and valley, in the triumph of irrigation, in the majesty of your wonderland, in the confident resolution with a new realization of the necessity of development of a soul distinctly American in this republic we favor such modifications of our immigration laws, and such changes in our international understandings, and such a policy relating to those who come among us, as will guarantee to the citizens of this republic not only assimilability of alien born, but the adoption, by all who come, of American standards, economic and otherwise, and a full consecration to American practices and ideals." BREA FIGHT FANS SEE SPECTACULAR BATTLE. Unpopular Decision of Referee Caused A Wild Scrap. Fight fons at Brea Wednesday night got more than their money's worth of milling and the best part of it wasn't even on the bill. At the conclusion of the main event between "Red" Matthews of Anaheim and Frankie Rogers of San Francisco, in which the referee, William R. Coffee, gave the decision to Rogers, friends of the Mother Colony boy, jumped into the ring and started a free-for-all fight that may lead to several arresis. The Matthews-Rogers bout was very close and much money is said to have been laid on the bout. Angered at the decision against Matthews, several of his Anaheim friends entered the ring and knocked Referee Coffee to the floor. D. O. Stegman, city marshal of Brea, climbed under the ropes to stop the fighting and is said to have taken the count" from a hay-maker delivered by Matthews' father, who was a ringsider. Stegman was hit over the eyes, the blow breaking his glasses. The ring by this time was a mass of flying fists, it is said, and four deputies, who are alleged to have had no stars, or other distinguishing marks visible, climbed into the ring to stop the free-for-all. They, too, were soon in the mix-up and the fans were being treated to some real fistic class, when the ring platform collapsed under the strain of so many pugilists and the fighters suddenly dropped to the ground. Without a stage to mix matters, the battle royal ceased. The city attorney at Brea is said to have relieved the Western Athletic club of all responsibility for the free-for-all.

Without a stage to mix matters, the battle royal ceased. The city attorney at Brea is said to have relieved the Western Athletic club of all responsibility for the free-for-all. The club management is understood to favor prosecution of those starting the battle. Rogers, who slipped the dreamland punch to Matthews in less than a minute's grilling last week, was unable to land effective blows on the red-topped boy Wednesday but earned the decision by taking the aggressive in the third and fourth rounds and being the stronger at the finish. The first two rounds were even, Rogers landed some good blows in the last round but Matthews was game and fought all the way. Johnny Meyers of Alhambra was a tough nut for Jess Reed of Boise City to crack. Reed won his last two fights in the first round via the k.o., but the Alhambra boy was the better throughout. He scored a knockout in the third that threw the bout all his own way and gave him the decision. It was a case of too much boxing against Reed's wild swinging. Fred Smith of Fresno, was too fast for Joe Miller of Arrowhead, earning the popular decision. Both boys worked fast and hard but several blows that Smith landed were effective and showed plainly that they hurt the Arrowhead fighter. Lucky Lugo of Vernon outclassed Young Fredericks of Santa Ana, referee Coffee stopping the milling in the third round to save Fredericks further punishment. Lugo was too good for the local boy and had the bout from the first punch. Boring in like old times, "Wildcat" O'Brien of San Diego took his fight from Young Rivers. O'Brien carefully and deliberately measured his right, time after time, and landed fast and hard. Rivers held on doggedly but was beaten down in the fourth and the referee stopped the fight. The next card was announced for Friday, September 24. POWER USERS AT HEARING Orange County Farm Bureau Sends Protest. REALTY PRICES IN ORANGE CO. About the prices prevailing for Orange County orange and walnut groves, there has been some shaking of heads and "I don't knows." Occasionally someone who ought to know better will say "Getting pretty high, believe me," etc. Controverting this pessimism is the fact that scores of the highest-priced sales have been made to men who are noted for their conservatism and also for their long and successful experience as citrus fruit growers right here in Orange County. But how do prevailing prices in Orange County compare with those of other orange and walnut producing sections? Favorably, very favorably. During the past few weeks a representative of the Register has visited all of the principal orange and walnut growing districts of Southern California, including Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, but not extending into Tulare county. And his investigation leads to the conclusion that our groves are better value for the prices they are bringing than the groves of any other section. Indeed, in many other sections, generally conceded to be not so favorable for oranges and walnuts as Orange County, groves are held at prices averaging about the same as those prevailing here. For instance, full-bearing naval orange groves in good condition and in comparatively "frostless" sections were priced to the Register representative at from $7000 to $4000 an acre. But in justice present rates for electric light and power on the system of the Southern California Edison Company from selling or otherwise disposing of its shares of stock for less than their par value, so that the company may not be further obligated to pay interest or dividends upon capital values which it never really possesses. "And, Be it Further Resolved, that W. L. York, of La Habra, vice-president of the Orange County Farm Bureau, and Sidney Saunby of Tustin, present copies of these resolutions to the various farm centers in Orange County meeting prior to September 16, and to the Orange County Farm Bureau, for their endorsement, and that they then present the copies so endorsed to the Railroad Commission of the State of California at the adjourned hearing which it will hold September 16."

FILES OYSTER CLAIM Reviving an old and frequent assertion by fisherman that the water of Newport bay would be an ideal place for oyster beds, Ed Humbert of Oakland, has filed an oyster claim on the bay. The claim was recorded in the office of County Recorder Justine Whitney. Several such claims have been filed but no steps have ever been taken locking toward the development of the industry on a commercial basis. Old settlers at Newport remember the time when oysters were to be found in the bay in large numbers, but of recent years these have disappeared. In his claim Humbert sets forth that it is his intention to grow, cultivate and tong oysters and other shell fish. His claim also provides for the erection of boathouses, packing sheds and quarters for employees. The same plan was outlined in the other claims on file, but the plans have never been followed out. Mrs. Henry Lensing, daughter, Miss Louise, and grand-daughter little Alberta Miller of Rhineland, Mo., are in Anaheim for a three-month visit with relatives.
