AUTOMOBILE MEN LAUD JUDGE'S ACTIONS JUSTICE J. B. COX'S COURSE ENDORSED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY CLUB His Honor Makes Speech at Monthly Meeting at Santa Ana, Wednesday Night—Club Unanimously In Favor of Drastic Punishment of Speedsters and Reckless Drivers—Law Must Be Enforced. The code adopted by Justice of the Peace John B. Cox in dealing with speeders and reckless drivers brought into his court, has the approval of the Orange County Automobille Trades Association: One hundred and twenty-five automobile men of the county, members of the trades association, met Wednesday night at James' in Santa Ana and voted unanimous endorsement of Justice Cox's administration of his court. It was a lively session, "Jazz" obtaining, both as to music and as to the spirit of the meeting. The session opened with a number of musical selections by the Del Signo orchestra, after Secretary Walter Blidick had decorated the heads of the men with crepe caps of various designs. Robert M. Martland, secretary of the state association and Justice Cox delivered adresses. George R. Hamilton, president, and J. S. Busby, treasurer, of the Los An- taining, both as to music and as to the spirit of the meeting. The session opened with a number of musical selections by the Del Signo orchestra, after Secretary Walter Bidick had decorated the heads of the men with crepe caps of various designs. Robert M. Martland, secretary of the state association and Justice Cox delivered addresses. George R. Hamilton, president, and J. S. Busby, treasurer, of the Los Angeles association; Chas. C. Faber, special visiting delegate of the Los Angeles association, and John E. Spencer, secretary, were among the Los Angeles visitors present. Introduced by Paul Price, presiding, as a man responsible for a large amount of good advertising that had cost the county nothing, Justice Cox was given a "big hand" when he rose to make his address. His remarks were frequently punctuated by applause. "I am very glad to meet you boys, but I doubt if you have said as much of me when some of you have met me in my official capacity in my court room," said Cox in opening his remarks. "I think the members of this association have backed me up in procedures in my court for the past ten years. I have tried to make Orange county's highways safe for automobilists." "I have never allowed politics or ward healers to influence cases brought into my court," Cox continued. "I have had letters from ministers who have endeavored to use their influence in securing the release of criminals. I have had men in high official capacity try to exert their influence in behalf of friends who have been brought before me. "I am looked upon as a gruff, grizzly old man by those who do not know me. There are two men in John B. Cox. John B. Cox, as a citizen can go with you boys and have as good a time as any of you. John B. Cox, as justice of the peace, administers what he believes to be justice—the same brand of justice to all, whether the accused be poor and friendless or whether possessed of all kinds of wealth and friends. I have not been severe, except with those who have been severe themselves. "There are some who say that 'the old man' ought to be shot. Such sentiment does not worry me in the least. I am placed in my position to administer justice and that is what I try to do, no matter what may be the character of the man brought before me." "There is something needed he Cox made reference to a number of cases in which he had imposed jail sentences upon men who stood high in their communities and in which attempts were made to influence the court. Robert Atkinson, of the Reid Motor Company responded to Cox, approving and supporting him in his court record. He suggested that dealers adopt the policy of placing a copy of the state vehicle law in the hands livery will b time." There are some who say that 'the old man' ought to be shot. Such sentiment does not worry me in the least. I am placed in my position to administer justice and that is what I try to do, no matter what may be the character of the man brought before me. "There is something needed beside the courts to remedy the evil of speeding and reckless driving, for the courts can't do it all. That something is that the drivers must be educated to the rules of automobile manipulation. The automobilists should do their part. You must educate them. The dealers and auto tradesmen can perform an invaluable service by directing the attention of drivers to the law and cautioning them. "We must take away selfishness, we must eliminate hurry. Autoists must learn to take and give. We can't legislate caution, we can't legislate brains into the heads of the drivers—we can only educate them. "Five people were killed in Los Angeles the other day. The driver drove his car on the tracks in front of a steam train. He had ample warning. He passed other cars that had halted at the crossing to permit the train to pass. He was either in a hurry or he was a reckless driver. What can we do with such people? Would punishment by imprisonment or a fine have any effect? Would punishment have had any effect on this man who drove his machine n front of the on-rushing train had he been successful in beating the train to the crossing? He probably would have repeated the performance at the first opportunity." Cox made reference to a number of cases in which he had imposed jail sentences upon men who stood high in their communities and in which attempts were made to influence the court. Robert Atkinson, of the Reid Motor Company responded to Cox, approving and supporting him in his court record. He suggested that dealers adopt the policy of placing a copy of the state vehicle law in the hands of every one to whom a car is sold, and that attention be directed to the essential points of the law. Martland, in his enthusiastic and clear-cut way, touched on many points relative to state laws and the automobile industry. He warned every member to be keenly alert to and watchful of new legislation proposed in the state legislature. No recounted instances of the last session where innocent-appearing bills were presented and which would have had serious effect on the auto industry of the state had they been passed. He touched at length upon the tow-car license situation and advised dealers that they should have a non-dealers' license plate on every car used in tow service where charge is made for the service. Such a license is not necessary on a car used exclusively for a free service to patrons, he pointed out. Only one argument was necessary to prove to President Wilson that he ought to refuse to execute the shipping law passed by Congress and signed by himself, and that it is that it gave preferenceto American as against alien shipping interests.

VOTE YES ON AMENDMENT NO. 12 University of California, Berkeley, Cal., Oct. 18 Editor Anaheim Gazette: In the letter to the Gazette this week it is the desire of the Amendment 12 Campaign Committee to inform the people in the citrus districts of the importance of Amendment 12 to them: A few years ago the University of California asked for funds to establish a Farm school in the South, similar to one at Davis. Such a small amount of money was appropriated that only a small tract of land was secured. This land is near Riverside. The establishment of the school was impossible since the University had no further means to advance the project. The passing of Amendment 12 will ensure the University a steady income. The establishment of a large Farm School will then be possible. This cannot be other than a great advantage to the citrus growers of the south. A University Farm Shool at River-side will mean that the growers will be informed of the latest and best methods in the Citrus industry. Sincerely, STANLEY M. FALKENSTEIN SEWER FARM CASE Chas. H.

The medical trust is taking away the personal liberty of the citizens of the United States by forcing vaccination and serumnization upon them and also by trying to prevent the Chiropractors from practicing.

FALKENSTEIN SEWER FARM CASE POSTPONED A WEEK Court Will Thresh Out The Fullerton Muddle Today The "bewer farm case," in which five residents of the Orangethorpe district are suing the city trustees of Fullerton to have declared void the recent annexation, of certain alleged parts of the Orangethorpe, Buena Park, and Brookhurst by Fullerton, was continued, after partial hearing by Judge Williams of the Superior Court. The territory in volved is connected by a strip of public highway, Magnolia avenue, and its is charged by the Orangethorpe complaints that the people who lived along the highway were deliberately excluded. The case was opened up by Attorney M. B. Wellington, of the legal firm of Bishop and Wellington, representing the plaintiffs. The argument was mostly of a technical nature, consisting of the citing of authorities, and previous cases on record in California. Wellington's principle contention was that the annexation had never been completed because it had never been officially approved by the Secretary of State of California nor a Certificate of Annexation issued. The annexation was, therefore, neither de facto nor de jure, according to Wellington. The contention of the attorneys for Fullerton, Albert Launer and E. J. Marks, was that the annexation had been completed with the canvassing of the votes of the five voters in the alleged annexation election, and the passing of the annexation ordinance by the Fullerton city trustees. A demurrer filed by the Fullerton city attorneys, alleging lack of sufficient facts in the original complaint, was laid aside by Judge Williams on its merits rather than on technicalities. Mechanics Crippled By Lack Of Space Berkeley, Cal.-The lack of modern equipment and floor space practically disables the College of Mechanics STEEN TAKES EXCEPTIONS P. V. Steen of the Acme Dry Cleaners is figuring in two law suits this week, says the Placentia Courier. He is being sued by Mrs. Roy Sharpless of Long Beach (formerly Mael Owenson) for $210 on a promissory note, and an attachment has been placed on an account due the Acme Dry Cleaners, for $167, from the Noonan Cleaning Works of Fullerton. The other suit is one brot by Steen and his partner, Chas. Jerzy, against the Noonans for the collection of the last named account, which represents work done for them by Steen & Jerzy while they were running a cleaning business and had no plant. This work, Steen & Jersey claim, was to have been paid for each week, but they have had no settlement since August. Mr. Steen takes exception to the statement published in one of the Anaheim papers to the effect that Miss Owenson loaned him the money "in response to a hard luck story he is alleged to have recited to the poor lady." This statement, he says, not only has no bearing on the case but is incorrect, as Miss Owenson volunteered the loan. The note matured less than a month ago, and shortly before its maturity he was given to understand that it could run some time longer. As no demand was ever made for its payment he was considerably surprised to learn that suit had been brought. AMERICAN SQUARE DEAL The editor of the Market News has often been asked about the Chiropractic Initiative Measure that will be on the ballot as Number 5 at the coming election. The medical trust is taking away the personal liberty of the citizens of the United States by forcing vaccination and serumization upon them and also by trying to prevent the Chiropractors from practicing. Every citizen should have the right to say whether he should be vaccinated or serumized or not, and every citizen should have the right to call the kind of a doctor he wants. Medical Doctor, Osteopath, Chiropractor, Christian Science, etc. Twenty-five states recognize and legalize the practice of Chiropractic, but California does not and the medical trust in California has arrested 45 Chiropractors since they started the campaign for the Chiropractic Bill. The Chiropractic Bill provides for the appointment, by the governor, of a Board of Chiropractic Examiners, like the medical board, the dental board, the pharmacy board, etc., to examine Chiropractors and to license and regulate the practice of those who CHRISTIAN SCIENCE First Church of Christ, Scientist, corner of Philadelphia and Chartres streets.
