Richardson is confronted with the task of collecting $10,000,000 within the next ten days from several thousand corporations for franchise tax. Richardson said today that his office has collected $12,462,079.10 since last August in corporation franchise tax, and there is still due $9,870,882.56 which will become delinquent on February 7th at 6 p.m. "This tax is payable in gold but in order to accommodate taxpayers I will accept certified checks, cashier's checks drafts and money orders. Corporations are asked not to remit by personal or uncertified company checks," said Richardson. "The total tax this year was more than $22,000,000 and was the largest in the history of the state. Corporations are slow in paying this year and evidently the delinquent list will be large," he added. EXCITING MAN HUNT AFTER BAD MEXICAN Officers and Citizens Sought Man Who Chased High School Girl Sheriff Jackson and his deputies and officers of Anaheim and Fullerton were scouring northern Orange county Tuesday for the Mexican who chared 14-year-old Gertrude Wents on Commonwealth avenue Monday evening. Jose Ladrillo was picked up on the Anaheim-Fullerton road late Monday night on suspicion, and was put thru the sweating process Tuesday. At the time he was lodged in the Fullerton jail Ladrillo was said to have been slightly intoxicated and not able to give a clear account of himself. He was inclined not to talk this morning, officers said. The authorities say the suspect answers the description of the man as given by the girl. Miss Wents was on her way home from the Fullerton high school when she was halted by the Mexican, who threatened to shoot her. She rode the bus from the schoolhouse to Orange-thorge and Brookhurst avenues and was walking on Commonwealth avenue toward Orangethorpe. Miss Wents and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Wents, make their home on Brookhurst avenue in the old Roy Trapp place. This is the home in which Mr. and Mrs. Roy Trapp lived before they moved to their new place in which Trapp was murdered last summer by the negro, Moses Gibson. According to the girl she was reading a book when she was suddenly surprised by the sound of footsteps behind her. Turning about, she saw a man dismount from a woman's bicycle and step toward her: "I'll shoot you." and as the screaming girl approached the place Mrs. Smith rushed to her front door and met her. The man, who had left his bicycle behind in his dash after the girl darted into an orage orchard when he saw the fleeing girl dash into Mrs. Smith's home. WHY RIPE OLIVE DAY? February 21 is Ripe Olive Day: All over the United States, the ripe olive of California is not only being eaten, but the olive industry of the State is being talked about and discussed. And wherever the olive is mentioned there California is being praised. California produces approximately $3,000,000 worth of olives annually. The United States imports about $15,000,000 worth of olives and olive oil. Therein is contained the idea for Ripe Olive Day. California olive oil and the California ripe olive are a superior produce, the best that the world has ever produced. The imported olive oil and olives are distinctly inferior products. Because California has been hiding "its light under a bushel," the foreign growers have stolen from beneath its nose a $12,000,000 market. Ask your friends in the east to demand California ripe olives. Let's join together to bring that $12,000,000 now going abroad into California. Bull Montana, the famous wrestler and Dummy West of New York will stage a jim jitsu rough and tumble bout at Lamb's garage, West Center Street tonight. The match is given under the directions of the American Legion the proceeds to be added to "This tax is payable in gold but in order to accommodate taxpayers I will accept certified checks. Cashier's checks drafts and money orders. Corporations are asked not to remit by personal or uncertified company checks," said Richardson. "The total tax this year was more than $22,000,000 and was the largest in the history of the state. Corporations slow in paying this year and evidently the delinquent list will be large," he added. J. B. Neff came down from Los Angeles Saturday and renewed acquaintance with his many friends in this region. BOUNCEMENT California Edison Co.

CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Ana Phone 46 HORACE H. BENJAMIN BRINGS HOME A BRIDE Married Saturday to Miss Alice Burnham, a South Pasadena Teacher Horace H. Benjamin, casalier of the First National Bank slipped away from his associates Saturday and went over to South Pasadena, where he was married to Miss Alice Burnham, a teacher of that city. Miss Burnham's home is in Frederick, South Dakota, where she and her husband attended school together in their youthful days. After reaching the grown-up stage, both come to California and the friendship of their youth grew into something stronger, and they were married, the wedding being a very quiet affair. Owing to the fact that the groom was compelled to attend a meeting of the directors of the bank their honeymoon trip was a short one. The young couple have already moved into the new residence which the groom has been building at 516 N. Lemon Street. Mr. Benjamin is one of Anaheim's foremost young business men and his many friends here extend hearty congratulations to him and a welcoming hand to his wife. TEACHERS DOWN PLAN FOR UNION Santa Ana Educators Reject Scheme To Organize Attempts of paid organizers to induce teachers in the city schools of Santa Ana to form a unit or chapter for affiliation with the one big movement have been indignantly repudiated by the teachers there, who, by a standing vote taken recently at a meeting of the Santa Ana City Teachers' League, adopted a resolution which declares that affiliating with the big union scheme would be disloyal to the county attorney. AFTER BOOT-LEGGERS City Attorneys Will Assist In Endeavor To Clean up the County That a county-wide cleanup of all bottlegging shops and a general round up of all violators of the prohibition laws will follow the adoption of the proposed county prohibition enforcement ordinance by the board of Supervisors was the declaration of District Attorney A. P. Nelson. City Attorneys of every city in the county have been advised of the proposed county ordinance and have promised to co-operate with District Attorney Nelson. District Attorney Nelson says the proposed county ordinances embraces practically every point brought out in the Volstead act and calls for a very strict enforcement of the prohibition law. The maximum penalty provided under the ordinance is a ninety day jail term or a $300 fine or both. Nelson said that only one point in the proposed ordinance was not favored by the city attorneys who conferred with him yesterday. The rest of the draft was approved and each city attorney announced that he would draw up a similar ordinance to govern his respective city. This will make the county law and city law uniform. The one exception to the proposed ordinance is a provision requiring druggists and physicians, who are authorized to use liquors for medicinal purposes, to apply to the board of supervisors for permits. The city attorneys held that this would be unnecessary as those authorized to dispense liquors for sacramental and for medicinal purposes are now required to secure permits from the internal revenue office. They contended that this would duplicate the work and could well be eliminated. Attempts of paid organizers to induct teachers in the city schools of Santa Ana to form a unit or chapter for affiliation with the one big movement have been indignantly repudiated by the teachers there, who, by a standing vote taken recently at a meeting of the Santa Ana City Teachers' League, adopted a resolution which declares that affiliating with the big union scheme would be disloyal to the citizens of their community and that such an affiliation is neither necessary nor desirable. Superintendent of Schools, J. A. Cranston brought up the question at a meeting of the league which was held in the Junior High School building. In his address he called attention of the teachers to the fact that because it had been reported that an attempt was being made to organize the teachers into a branch of the one big union the matter should be given official attention by the league. The question was referred to the league's Resolutions Committee, of which Prof. W. M. Clayton is chairman. The following resolutions were quickly drawn up and after several supporting speeches were made were adopted by a standing vote: "Whereas it has become known that an attempt has been made or is being made by labor agitators to organize from the ranks of the teachers of Santa Ana a unit or chapter for the purpose of affiliation with the so-called union. "Therefore, be it resolved: "That we, the members of the Santa Ana City Teachers' League, most emphatically denounce any such move by any of our members, because we believe it would be an act of disloyalty to the citizens of Santa Ana who have loyally supported every measure for the betterment of the public schools and the advancement of the teaching profession: "And because we believe the teachers of Santa Ana are too sound in judgment to permit themselves to be made the means by which the insidious propoganda of paid agitators may find a foothold in our city; "And finally, because we believe that in these critical times we, as the public servants can have no divided allegiance, can give but one soul loyalty and that to our country and the flag under which we serve." Following adoption of the resolutions, Supt. Cranston made an address in which he complimented the teacher ordinance is a provision requiring druggists and physicians, who are authorized to use liquors for medicinal purposes, to apply to the board of supervisors for permits. The city attorneys held that this would be unnecessary as those authorized to dispense liquors for sacramental and for medicinal purposes are now required to secure permits from the internal revenue office. They contended that this would duplicate the work and could well be eliminated. District Attorney Nelson explains that the object of the proposed ordinance is to eliminate any possible chance of a conflict with the national prohibition law as set forth in the Volstead act. The federal law supercedes all the others in the long run," said Nelson, "but it is better to have a local ordinance that does not conflict with the state law whatsoever and that the aim of both is strictly to enforce prohibition." In conclusion Nelson said that he had been assured to co-operation of the sheriff's office as well as that of the local police department and that a general clean up will follow in the event of the adoption of the ordinance by the board of supervisors. The document will come before the supervisors at their regular meeting next Tuesday. INFORMATION WANTED City Manager Steward yesterday received the following letter of inquiry from Quatrecht, Belgium, relative to a former resident here. Mr. Steward so far has been unable to locate the man, and would appreciate it if anybody could give him information: Quatrecht, Belgium. Sept. 6, 1920 City Administration of Anaheim Gentlemen: The U. S. American Consul advised me to address myself to your kindness in order to procure some information in regard to my brother, Eugene Debacke, who was a resident of Anaheim at the beginning of the European War. For this reason I modestly beg of you to be willing to let me know if my brother, named above, originally from Ichteghem, West Flanders, Belgium is still alive and staying in Anaheim yet. If so I pray you to send me his correct address. I present you with my anticipated thankfulness, the assurance of my deep respect. Very humbly and gratefully Yours. judgment to permit themselves to be made the means by which the insidious propoganda of paid agitators may find a foothold in our city; "And finally, because we believe that in these critical times we, as the public servants can have no divided allegiance, can give but one soul loyalty and that to our country and the flag under which we serve." Following adoption of the resolutions, Supt. Cranston made an address in which he complimented the teachers on their stand on the question. He declared he greatly appreciated the attitude they had taken and said that the teachers do not have to seek outside of Santa Ana for aid or outside of their present organization to receive any rights or readjustments of conditions that the profession may consider necessary. A debonair and well dressed stranger who mulleted several pharmacies at Fullerton by means of worthless checks dodge was being sought last week by the police in northern Orange county. In each case the check was made out for $8.80 Appearing at the drug store of McKelvey and Voltz, the well groomed crook asked for a baby's nursing bottle and some nipples. The druggist accepted the check signed J. A. Smith on the Farmers' and Merchants' National Bank at Fullerton and gave the man his change. The check was made out to George A. Bradly. Doty's pharmacy and Harding's drug store also were "stung." Beau Brummel tried unsuccessfully to pass a check at Copp's drug store. The crook was described as being of medium height. Japanese people attain their full height at an earlier age that the Caucasians. At a recent meeting of the Fullerton City Trustees, that body gravely discussed the matter of eliminating from their midst the predatory and prowling tom cat, and we respectfully call the attention of the Anaheim board to this important question. It all came about when the council was considering the provision of a proposed ordinance to eliminate the nuisances and Trustee Strain said he would leave it to anybody, just man to man, if there was any greater nuisance on earth than a bunch of cats breaking into the hard earned sleep of a hard working man on a silent, holy night with the chorus of wails, weird and wild, such as can eliminate only from feline throats. In addition to subduing cats, the council is also wrestling with the problem of chickens, dogs and other similar adjuncts of civilization which interfere with the neighborhood harmony in many localities. City Attorney Launer is be presented at the next meeting of working on the ordinance which will the Board.
