The clerk was directed to publish notice of sale of said bonds in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Registrar, Bids to be received up to Dec. 20, at 11 a.m. Bids were opened for the $250,000 issue of Tustin union high school district bonds, and said bonds were贴到 Blyth, Witter & Co. for par, accrued interest and t. premium of $22,706. All bids on the construction of the county jail were rejected and checks ordered returned for bidders. O. V. Dort was granted permission to move a house over county highway. Specifications, plans and profiles, as presented by the county engineer, with his recommendations, for the improvement of the County park road in the fourth road district, were adopted by the board. Notice for bids for doing said work to be given by publication in the Orange Daily News. Bids to be received up to Dec. 27, at 11 a.m. It was ordered that a community branch of the county free library be established at Cypress,and Mrs. M. M. the head of a family whose net income for 1921 was $5000 or less, an increase of $500 compared with the 1918 act. A head of a family, as defined by present treasury regulations, is a person who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by bloom relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption, or whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependents is based upon some moral or legal obligation. "The normal rate of tax, 4 per cent on the first $4000 of net income above the exemptions, and 8 per cent on the remaining net income, remains unchanged. This applies to citizens and residents of the United States. All non-residents are taxed to the full 8 per cent on income received from sources within the United States. Non-resident alienes are allowed only a single personal exemption of $1000. To overcome the disparity in the amount of normal tax in the case of two taxpayers, one of whom is just within the lower $2000 exemption, the other being just within the higher $2,500 exemption, the act provides that the reduction of the personal exemption from $2500 to $2000 shall not operate to increase the tax, which would be payable if the exemption were $2,500 by more than the net income in excess of $5000. For example, a married man or head of a family has a net income for 1921 of $5010. Assuming that he has no dependents, his tax, if he were allowed only the $2,000 exemption, would be $120.40. Under the benefits of the above provision, however, his tax is $110,4 per cent on the amount of his taxable income of $2500, or $100, plus the amount by which his net income exceeds $5000."

INCOME TAX TO BE LOWER The married man of 1921 is given a $3-a-month consideration under the new income tax regulations as a $500 income is subject to exemption of $2500, instead of $2000, as existed under the 1918 provisions. In addition, each dependent carries a $400 exemption compared with $200 under the previous act. These facts were drawn from E. B. Burns, deputy collector of internal revenue for this district. Collectors throughout the country have been receiving thousands of inquiries regarding the 1921 income tax regulations, leading the bureau of internal revenue to inaugurate a campaign of publicity so as to enable the taxpayers to gain proper information. In the first of a series of statements issued by the bureau, many radical changes are noted. Every person net income for 1921 of $5010. Assuming that he has no dependents, his tax, if he were allowed only the $2,000 exemption, would be $120.40. Under the benefits of the above provision, however, his tax is $110,4 percent on the amount of his taxable income of $2500, or $100, plus the amount by which his net income exceeds $5000. NORTHERN CITRUS BELT They are holding a citrus and olive exposition at Oroville and the affair was opened with an address by James Mills, formerly of Riverside, and now of Hamilton City. Mr. Mills, as River-siders know, is some word painter; and he set forth the citrus possibilities of the upper Sacramento valley with eloquence and force. In connection with its account of the opening exercises, the Sacramento Bee indulges in the following interesting bit of "invidious comparison:" Thirty-four years ago Oroville held its first orange show. Local in its character, even then it depicted the possibilities of citrus culture in superior California. Today, at the height of the first northern California orange and olive exposition, the citrus industry has been developed until this section not only competes with others in the production of the fruit, but actually is leading them, as it has led in the idea of the orange show. Biggers oranges may be shown at fairs in the south, but there are no oranges of better quality, of finer texture, or better color than those of this part of the state. The are ripe now, while the trees of the groves south of the Tehachapi mountains hang full of green, unmarketable oranges. They not only pass the eight-to-one test, but the 70 per cent color test as well. Under either, or both, they can be shipped and are being shipped. The press has consistently given the upper Sacramento valley credit or producing fine oranges and for ripening them earlier than does southern California. The writer visited the Oroville section fifteen years ago in order to write up the northern citrus belt, and only a few months ago referred to the fine orange groves seen as far north as Orland. The citrus properties developed by Mr. Mills are among the finest young orchards in the state. The government's access American people to their wild animals and through the bureau of U.S.vey, United States department agriculture, is contained in annual report. In its supervision over resources and liabilities, the government develops birds and animals of dis- agriculture, commerce, as well as with those lions whose natural habits have cost the country millions of dollars.

Continuation, with ma- nof the work begun 5 ye- ding the ranges—and ing them safe for graziv- tory animalss: These facts were drawn from M. B. Burns, deputy collector of internal revenue for this district. Collectors throughout the country have been receiving thousands of inquiries regarding the 1921 income tax regulations, leading the bureau of internal revenue to inaugurate a campaign of publicity so as to enable the taxpayers to gain proper information. In the first of a series of statements issued by the bureau, many radical changes are noted. Every person whose gross income for 1921 was $5,000 or more must make a return regardless of the amount of net income. This requirement was not contained in the revenue act of 1918. Every married couple living together must make a return, either separate or joint as desired, if their aggregate net income was $2000 or over, or if their aggregate income was $5000 or over. Following are income tax requirements as compiled and issued by the bureau of internal revenue, through Deputy Collector Burns: "Probably the most important change affecting the man of moderate income is in the exemptions. Under the 1921 act a married man with a net income of $5000 and less is entitled to an exemption of $2500. Under the revenue act of 1918 this exemption was limited to $3000. The revenue act of 1921 also provides for each person dependent upon the taxpayer if such person is under eighteen years of age or incapable of self support because mentally or physically defective—an exemption of $400. The exemption under the revenue act of 1918 was $200 for each dependent. Thus, a married man with two dependents whose net income for 1921 was $6000 will pay this year a tax of $68, compared with $104 on the same income for 1920." "The exemption of $2500 applies to The press has consistently given the upper Sacramento valley credit or producing fine oranges and for ripening them earlier than does southern California. The writer visited the Oroville section fifteen years ago in order to write up the northern citrus belt, and only a few months ago referred to the fine orange groves seen as far north as Orland. The citrus properties developed by Mr. Mills are among the finest young orchards in the state. All this is said freely and without qualification, but there are some facts the Bee can take its time to explain. Orange trees were flourishing in the Sacramento valley before Riverside was started and long before Tulare county was thought on a sa citrus section. Last year, however, all of northern California produced only 310 cars of citrus fruit (and never shipped to exceed 400 cars). For the same year Tulare county shipped 6892 carloads of citrus fruit and southern California shipped 41,330 carloads of oranges and 11,584 carloads of lemons. Riverside alone shipped $705 carloads of citrus fruit, more than ten times as much as all northern California. One sort of wonders what they have been doing up there in the 34 years since the first citrus fair was held at Oroville. THE NAVEL CROP Based on the average net price being paid growers for fruit suitable for shipment for the holiday trade, the navel orange crop of Orange county will return growers more than $500,000 it was estimated today. That Orange county is declining as a potential section in the production of navel oranges is becoming more apparent each year, as the acreage is reduced, with a con- sequent reduction in shipments. The Valencia is king in Orange county, and the county is the king of Valencia-producing sections of California and the United States, it is claimed. While navels will soon be on the market, the picking season for the Valencia crop in Orange county is just closing, and the product is going onto the best market of the year, according to L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit exchange. Valencias in all other of the growing sections have been cleaned up and the Orange County Fruit exchange this week had between fifty and sixty cars rolling, the only Valencias available to the market at this time. No more Valencias will be on the market until the starting of shipments for next season, which will be, probably, in the early part of May of next year. Fancies sold on the New York market last week at $10.75 per box. An average of $7 to $8 per box will be received for the fruit now on track, in the opinion of Palmer. The exchange will make no attempt to ship navels for the Christmas trade, Palmer stated. He declared that the fruit is not sufficiently ripened to warrant the exchange offering it. Warm weather has interfered with the coloring of the fruit and it is not as well advanced as it usually is at this season of the year, being small in size.

In its supervision over the wild life resources and liabilities of the nation, the government deals with those birds and animals of distinct value to agriculture, commerce, and industry as well as with those injurious species whose natural habits in years past have cost the country many hundreds of millions of dollars. On the asset side of the balance sheet the total mounts; and the liabilities, thanks to the increasing efficiency and thoroughness of the government's supervision are shrinking. Sketched in its high lights and dealing only with major facts and totals, the bureau's work during the past year shows among other things the following results: A saving to farmers and stockmen of about $14,000,000 during the year—at a cost of $1,345,220—in the campaign west of the Mississippi against wolves, lynxes and bobcats, mountain lions, bears, and rodents. Destruction by rifle, trap, and poison of approximately 50,000 of the predatory animals. Continuation, with marked success, of the work begun 5 years ago of ridding the ranges—and thereby making them safe for grazing—of predatory animals.
