GRANTED PROBATION ON ACCOUNT OF KIDDIES Man Who Sold Other Peoples Furniture Goes Free. "I am giving you this probation largely because of those two small lots there by your wife's side, who came into this world without their consent, and whose lives and whose chance in life I do not want to see marred or clouded through no fault of their own." With these words, Judge Z. B. West announced the granting of probation to Fred Allen, who pleaded guilty to a grand larceny charge in Judge West's court. Allen's pretty wife was visibly moved, and expressed herself as overwhelmed with joy at the turn of events. Meanwhile the two children babbled and played with trinkets, unaware that their destiny and the whole course of their lives had perhaps been changed by the tender heart of the judge. Allen appeared to be very happy, and assured the Judge that "he wouldn't go straight, and be a man" hereafter, and that the present case, "had taught him a lesson that would last him the rest of his life." Allen was held in connection with the removal and sale of furniture from a house Allen had rented from William Kellog in Yorba Linda. The probationary period is for seven years, during which time Allen must report every two months to the probation officer for the first two years, and every three months for the next five years. He must also confine himself to the seven southern counties of California, must not gamble or drink, and must pay back the amount owing on the furniture he sold and his other debts. 30th, 1920, in which to complete his contract.

THE ALIEN LAND BILL Twenty separate measures are to be passed upon by the electors of California on November 2nd next twelve being proposes amendments to the Constitution, five referendum acts and three initiative proposals. The Allen Land Measure belongs to the last class, and will be number one on the ballot. Simply put, its purpose is to strengthen the existing State law that prohibits the ownership of land in California by allens not eligible to citizenship, by also forbidding the learning of land to such people; and, further, to put a stop to evasions of our land laws through the fraudulent use by elder allens of the names of children born here of foreign parentage and therefore citizens; and, also, to prohibit the illegal manipulation of our laws governing land corporations, such as the use of the names of citizens as dummy directors of companies financed and controlled by allens. In addition, provision is made for the escheat to the State of land illegally country or not more be said? The alien land people of this county prevent the trollew Congress second step, by the unassimilable people the third Constitution of the effect that the country of parish zenship shall be COUNTY MAKE AS Now Stands Seven Orange County in the state it assessed valuation only by Los Alameda, Fresno Kern counties.

He must also confine himself to the seven southern counties of California, must not gamble or drink, and must pay back the amount owing on the furniture he sold, and his other debts. Mrs. Allen testified that Allen had told her about removing the furniture two days after he had done it, and that she had advised him to confess to the whole business, and make it good. It was testified that the furniture was sold to a second hand dealer in Los Angeles, Philip Sasmovsky, thus the agency of H. Raiden, a second hand dealer in Anaheim. Raiden, it is stated, told officers that he "sent the stuff to Los Angeles because he didn't have room for it in his store." While Judge West was questing him, Allen said Raiden had urged him to sell the furniture even though it was not his. The price given for the lot was $225., of which Allen stated he was given $112. Raiden taking the rest. Raiden has previously alleged that he only got $20 for his commission in making the sale. That sensational charges may develop against Raiden in connection with the case was indicated by Judge West's statement in court regarding the matter: "If it is true that Raiden took his $112.50 as his part in the transaction, he is in reality nothing but Allen's partner in crime I should like to have him before me to find out more about the matter. Raiden must have known what he was doing. He had the stuff moved at night, and he never came forward with information until they traced the goods to him. I shall have the matter looked into." The value of the furniture was stated in the complaint to be $500. Judge West has instructed that information be gathered as to the real value of the goods, in order to determine the amount Allen is to pay. He said that while $500 was probably a little high, he was sure from his knowledge of the methods of some second hand dealers that they planned to make at least 75 or 100 per cent on every transaction. Not one stick of the furniture was ever found, it having been disposed of at once to unidentified persons by Judge West has instructed that information be gathered as to the real value of the goods, in order to determine the amount Allen is to pay.

Congress must put through the second step, by closing the door to the unassimilable immigrant; and the people the third step by amending the Constitution of the United States to the effect that no child born in this country of parents ineligible to citizenship shall be eligible to citizenship. COUNTY MAKES GAIN IN ASSESSED VALUATION Now Stands Seventh In State In Point of Wealth. Orange County now ranks seventh in the state in the total amount of assessed valuation, being outranked only by Los Angeles, San Francisco, Alameda, Fresno, Sacramento, and Kern counties. This is the information contained in the statement of County Indebtedness just issued by the State Controller to County Auditor W. C. Jerome. During the past year Orange county has moved ahead of Santa Clara county. Last year Orange county was eighth in the list. There are only five counties in the state that have lower tax rates. A statement issued by State Controller Chambers showing the values of property indebtedness and tax rates of every county in the state, has been received. These figures are taken from reports sent to the state controller by county auditors. Orange county's total assessed value is $109,077,920. This county's total is only $5,000,000 below Kern's and $16,000,000 below Sacramento's. Next year this county will probably pass WHY I SHALL VOTE "YES" ON THE CHIROPRACTIC INITIATIVE MEASURE NO. 5 The first reason is because a few chiropractic treatments did me more good last winter than all the drugs I ever took. I do not believe in letting a selfish medical organization or trust, if you please, take away from the people of California anything that is such a boon as the chiropractors' profession. Undoubtedly there are a few chiropractors that are fakes, but I dare say where there is one, there are ten in the medical trust. Might does not make right, and medical freedom is as important as religious freedom, I say, let the people say what they want and let them have what they want as long as what they want is not harmful to them or anyone else. The people of California have as much right to have chiropractic treatments as the people of other states, and have it done legally. Do not be deceived by the false statements of the medical trust. Find out the truth of the situation for yourself. The chiropractors have proven their science by the fact that out of 1000 cases of "flu" they were called upon to handle, they only lost one, where the medical profession lost 180 out of every 1000 cases. Vote "Yes" on the chiropractic Initiation Measure Number 5 Do not be deceived by the false statements of the medical trust. Find out the truth of the situation for yourself. The chiropractors have proven their science by the fact that out of 1000 cases of "flu" they were called upon to handle, they only lost one, where the medical profession lost 180 out of every 1000 cases. I can tell you of people in this town that will swear by the chiropractor because they got help after years of useless and harmful drugging. Vote YES on No. 5. Ward No. 9, Tulare, B. M. HOUCK, Tulare, Cal. San Bernardino, Cal., Sept. 23, 1920. The State Chiropractic Society of California, Los Angeles. Gentlemen:--Many are the reasons why VOTE "YES" ON NO. 5, TH PROPRACTIC CONTEST LETTERS ers are from Citizens in Our $100 Prize Contest. propractic Society. I shall vote "yes" for the Chiropractic Initiative Measure No. 5 at the coming election. First of all is that I positively know of the great good they are doing, and of a number of persons who have been saved the danger, suffering and expense of an operation. When I think of the vast number of those unfortunates who might have been spared that awful ordeal had they but known, I feel like going out and telling the world what I know of chiropractors and their work. I feel that we have a right to choose whom we shall have to treat us with just as much freedom as we choose our religions or our politics. Another reason why I shall vote "yes" for the measure is that I live near a hospital and have brought to my observation the vast amount of operations performed these days. There is no doubt in my mind that many could be prevented did the people know more about the work and success of chiropractors. Other states have boards of chiropractors and have found it most satisfactory and there is no legitimate reason why California should be behind her sister states in doing what is best for her people. The future holds great opportunities for chiropractic work and I shall vote for the measure to hasten the day when people will try the chiropractor first and submit to operations only when it is found nothing else will help. I will vote for the measure because to me it is the most practical method of regaining and keeping health. The future holds great opportunities for chiropractic work and I shall vote for the measure to hasten the day when people will try the chiropractor first and submit to operations only when it is found nothing else will help. I will vote for the measure because to me it is the most practical method of regaining and keeping health. I shall vote for it because I have been closely watching the work of Drs. Butler and Butler in our own little city and have seen the immense number of persons who have been cured of terrible afflictions by them. Knowing of no earthly reason why I should vote against the measure I shall not only vote for it myself, but shall work very hard to get others to vote for it. Hoping the measure passes by a large majority, I am, Sincerely yours, T. L. BLACKBURN, 351 Fifth St., San Bernardino, Cal. NO. 5, THE CHIROPRACTIC BILL
