MaAdoo's utterances in his Armistice Day speech at Fullerton as "pure politics," Congressman Phil D. Swing is out with a reply to McAdoo. Swing's come-back at McAdoo was wired to the adjutant of the American Legion post at Fullerton and to W. M. Irwin, Republican county central committee, of Fullerton. The wire was: "Just read newspaper report of McAdoo's speech advocating payment of soldier bonus by tax on beneficiaries of the new tariff law. Will California farmers who for the first time have secured adequate tariff on lemons, wal nuts, olives, sugar beets, beans and other commodities stand for this proposal? "As staunch advocate of adjusted compensation I denounce McAdoo's proposal as pure politics. It is in the same class with proposal to pay the bonus by the sale of wine and beer and if seriously insisted upon would defeat bonus which I predict will be enacted into law by the next congress." "I would gladly support a proposal said to have varied from the one originally given. The other evidence given is also said to be highly contradictory and attorneys for both prosecution and defense are at a loss to pick actual facts from the evidence. Carabajal told of the drunken carousel in which Saldana participated with Lieva, Nava and himself. He described how Saldana was the victim of a drunken brawl and how after he was found to be dead, he was dragged a short distance to the Pacific Electric tracks, where the body was run over by a car."

"I would gladly support a proposal from McAdoo to pay bonus by levying tax on plunder gang who through war contracts and profiteering preyed on government and people while McAdoo and his party were in power. "More millionaires were made during the war than in all the previous history of our country. "The true attitude of Democratic party is clearly shown from the fact that no state regularly Democratic has ever voted soldiers' bonus. McAdoo's party when in control of all branches of the government considered it had discharged its obligation to veterans by voting sixty dollars per soldier, calling this pittance, bonus. Had the president signed adjusted compensation law McAdoo, guilded by same party expendiency, would now be attacking instead of defending it. "PHIL D. SWING. "Member of Congress." STABBED WHILE ASLEEP Two girls, one of them a widow, and two young men, companions of the women in the case, are still being sought by sheriff's attaches, in connection with the slumber stabbing of which Edward Bastillos, of Delhi, was the victim early Monday morning. Bastillos, badly cut, but on the road to recovery, claims that he is unable to furnish the clue as to the identity of his wold-be murders. He says that he was asleep when he was first stabbed, and that he did not recognize any of them. Opposing this theory was a blood-stained hat, and a coat found near the injured man when officers reached the scene Monday. The coat, which evidently belonged to a young man, bore a knife slit in the arm, and blood stains surrounding it. This, sheriff's men claim, indicates that the victim had engaged in a struggle before he succumber to the knife strokes. Supporting this theory was the fact that Bastillos' watch bore a dent, caused by ya knife, and the light knife believed to have caused the with Lieva, Nava and himself. He described how Saldana was the victim of a drunken brawl and how after he was found to be dead, he was dragged a short distance to the Pacific Electric tracks, where the body was run over by a car. OUR VAST ROAD PROJECT The road-building program of the federal government includes about 180,000 miles of improved highway and it will require from 15 to 20 years to complete the project. With about 60,000 miles built or in process of construction two-thirds of the mileage remains to the future. It is a great job which has been undertaken, the most stupendous in that line in the history of the world. The Roman highways extensive as they were, were lilliputian in comparison with such an undertaking. These roads are only such as fit into the national system, chief thoroughfares They have nothing to do with a vast amount of mileage which serves purely local needs. It is estimated that when complete automobile saturation is attained there will be 17,000,000 cars. Were cars to stand still on the highway no insignificant length of road would be required to give them space. The more cars the more roads will be demanded, for a car is of little value unless there is a road on which it can run. With the increase of cars will come demands for increase of road improvement and that will go on and on. In the seventies and eighties of the last century there was a tremendous craze in railroad building. Almost every community had a project for a new railroad regardless of how many they had already, yet the eagerness in those days to have a railroad is not a marker to the insistence in this day of good roads. Every center wants roads in every direction and every farmer wants one by his farm if he owns an automobile. For generations Americans gave little attention to the highways. For the most part the most primitive road construction would do. It required a powerful incentive to arouse the country to a desire for good roads that would not be denied. The automobile provided the impulse and what improved highways are built are probably but a starter for what the next score of years will see realized. EL TORO Officers throughout formia are seekers who entered at El Toro Satire absence of the $20.68 in change. The railroad also was entered the evening. much was secured A report of the made to the of Jackson Sunday tigation started. The San Oned later in the stations is said in a similar manner the theory that thieves entered Additional lo THE SALDANA CASE Various stories related by witnesses in the trial of Everett Nava and Francisco Lieva on the charge of murdering Isobel Saldana and placing his body on the Pacific Electric track, near La Habra, were told in department two of the superior court Monday. The prosecution virtually concluded its case with the testimony of Joe Carabajal, alleged eye witness and one of the trio originally charged with the murder. Carabajal was dismissed when he is alleged to have made a confession implicating his two companions and clearing himself of the charge. On the witness stand, his story is INTERNAL REVENUE October collections of internal revenue taxes in the southern California district reflect steady and increasing business expansion, according to a survey completed today by Collector Rex Goodcell. Facing a pronounced shrinkage in receipts owing to drastic reduction in rates under the new revenue act, the income tax collections for October were $496,323.89 as against $499,892.17 for October, 1921. This remarkable showing is due to the fact that 47,926 more separate returns were filed in 1922 than in 1921, indicating increased business and the acquisition of new and desirable population. Manufacturer's tax on oleomargarine more than doubled over last October, while the sale of documentary stamps used on bonds, conveyances of real estate and capital stock issues increased twelve per cent. A fifteen per cent advance was shown on telephone and telegraph messages. Special tax collections on theatres jumped sixty-five per cent and bowling alleys and billiard halls increased thirty-three per cent. Cabarets and roof gardens showed a twenty per cent advance in admission taxes and even athletic, social and sporting clubs paid taxes on dues and memberships that indicated What a Wise Woman Knows The woman who takes pride in her baking and is watchful of the family health is never won away from ROYAL Baking Powder. She knows that it is absolutely pure and dependable—that for over 50 years it has been used in the best homes in the country. It Contains No Alum Leaves No Bitter Taste a jump of twenty-five per cent. More passenger for hire automobiles were in commission in October, 1922, than in the same period of 1921, as indicated by an increase of fifty per cent in tax receipts. This points to an influx of tourists. Collector Goodcell pointed out that according to the latest figures California and eleven other states are paying 95.83 per cent of the total income tax receipts of the government. The southern California district produced 1,339,059 gallons of wine since July 1 and on October 31 there was on hand in the bonded wineries 2,533,625 gallons. Included in these figures is dry wine still in the press and not yet officially reported. Of the wine produced since July 1 170,070 gallons was sweet wine and life insurance for a century and a half and savings banks for a full century 85 per cent of us still die leaving no more than enough to pay our funeral expenses. Destroy the "appetite for accumulation" and the percentage would be 100. James Bryce, in his "American Commonwealth," remarks that "the average American knows he already has everything he could hope for, except general pillage," 'and one knows what a general pillage meant in Russia. GOVERNMENT IN BUSINESS The war forced all governments to go into business, and the process of disentangling themselves from the burdens assumed at that time is far from being complete. President Harding's ideal of "less government in business" is being only slowly realized. We inherited the merchant marine as one of the results of the government engaging in what would ordinarily have been left to private industry Potentialq, this fleet may be a great national asset, but we have not yet succeeded in putting it on a paying basis. At the recent sale of the government's wooden ships, it was brought out that some of them embodied an outlay in wages of seven times the normal rate of pay, and this illustrates only one of the difficulties of making the government compete with private enterprise. Allowing for a certain amount of fraud, and deliberate imposition, the greater of the losses of governmental activity in business must be laid to the system itself. This nation, as the richest of the belligerents, naturally suffered more than others, but the system produced similar results elsewhere. The British auditor general has just issued a report on government trading HELPER NEEDS HELP Los Angeles is unique in the number of its institutions for the relief of human illness, especially among the poor, founded on practical sense and service. Among these no one is more worthy of public recognition and support than the Orthopaedic hospital-school for crippled children. It has been and is doing a noble and successful work for a class of child sufferers, who without its help, scientific ministrations and training, would be compelled to face lives of helpless and hopeless pain, suffering, poverty and misery. Now enrolled in the Orthopaedic hospital school clinic there are 900 children. For four years past there has been an annual average of 3000 patients treated, and it is estimated that the number treated this year will aggregate 4000. The staff of the institution is drawn from the leading members of the surgical and medical profession. Its technical standing is indolored by the principle child welfare organizations by the state, county and municipal welfare boards, by the Los Angeles board of education and by the Los Angeles county medical association. But it takes money to maintain and conduct such a charity, and this one is in serious need of funds to "carry on." The growth of population continually increases the pressure upon its capacity and means to care for deserving cases. This, during the past year, has been a heavy drain upon its resources, and "the grass is getting short!" But the officers, workers and friends of the Orthopaedic crippled children's hospital-school are not worried on that account. They are confident that they only have to lay their situation before the warm, hearted and charitable public of Los Angeles to obtain immediate According to the latest figures California and eleven other states are paying 95.83 per cent of the total income tax receipts of the government. The southern California district produced 1,339,059 gallons of wine since July 1 and on October 31 there was on hand in the bonded wineries 2,533,625 gallons. Included in these figures is dry wine still in the press and not yet officially reported. Of the wine produced since July 1 479,059 gallons was sweet wine and 860,000 gallons dry wine. During the fiscal year ending June 30 there was produced 2,506,923 gallons of which 1,509,427 was dry and 997,406 sweet wine. The total production for the entire state of California for the last fiscal year was 6,840,574 gallons and the withdrawals of 3,485,843, indicating an excess in production for the year over withdrawals amounting to 3,354,831. Under a ruling received by Collector Goodcell every taxpayer carrying on the business of producing, manufacturing, purchasing or selling any commodities or merchandise, shall for the purpose of determining the amount of income under the revenue act of 1921, keep such permanent books of accounts or records, including inventories, as are necessary to establish gross income, deduction, credits and all information required by an income tax return and these records must not be destroyed until the expiration of five years from the date the return was filed. Farmers are exempt from this rule. EL TORO STATION ROBBED Officers throughout southern California are seeking some trace of burglar who entered the Santa Fe station at El Toro Saturday night during the absence of the agent and secured $20.68 in change. The railroad station at San Ogofre also was entered a short time later in the evening. It is not known how much was secured at the second place. A report of the El Toro robbery was made to the office of Sheriff C. E. Jackson Sunday morning and an investigation started. The San Onofre robbery was reported later in the day. Entrance to both stations is sal do have been made in a similar manner and gave rise to the theory that the same thief or thieves entered both places. Additional loot secured at the El Toro Station Robbled LITIGATION BEGUN OVER OIL LANDS Dr. Lester Keller and Others Involved in Law Suit L. W. Neiswender has filed suit in the superior court against the General Petroleum, A. P. and Esther N. Yerlington, Dr. Lester Keller, the First National Bank of Yorba Linda and W. Peden, to settle a dispute regarding oil leases and payments at Yorba Linda. The plaintiff was acting for Austin L. Marsburn, Marguerite Marshburn Loren Pike, Lucy Pike, William Marshburn, Lutheria Marshburn Abram Weatherwax, Clara Weatherwax, Elizabeth Calvert, H. Amanda Longenecker, Claude Anderson, Marshburn. Allowing for a certain amount of fraud, and deliberate imposition, the greater of the losses of governmental activity in business must be laid to the system itself. This nation, as the richest of the belligerents, naturally suffered more than others, but the system produced similar results elsewhere. The British auditor general has just issued a report on government trading losses that contains items of waste and ill management as bad as anything charged to inefficiency in our own experience. The British government went in for extensive food purchases and distribution, with tremendous losses. On a single item labeled "bacon transactions" from August 1919, to March 1920, a deficit of about 5,709,962 pound sterling, or about $25,000,000, is chalked up against the taxpayers. The same lesson is drawn that has been emphasized time and again: "The tendency will always be to raise the price against the government for anything it desires to buy, and to exact the highest possible wages for the least possible return in the form of work." Besides, there is the inevitable interjection of politics into business enterprise. We have had enough experience of evils of governmental business ventures, ownership of utilities etc., right here at home, but the lesson seems to be lost on the adherents of state socialism who want the government to go in to the very limit of this ruinous policy. STATING THAT SHE IS A Refined AND Sensitive Woman AND THAT HER TREATMENT BY HER HUSBAND CAUSES HER EXTreme Mental Anguish. Mrs. Mary M. Mawson has filed an action seeking a dll vorge from Lawrence D. Mawson, of Anaheim. Mrs. Mawson alleges in her complaint that her husband called her a flapper and many more names approbrious and unprintable, which are mentioned in her action for separation. She also claims that on numerous occasions at their home in Anaheim and in the presenre of their 5-year-old daughter, he declared he was tired of her. The husband also is said by his wife to have told her that he did not consider he was married to her forever and to have urged her to leave him. The couple have considerable community property, including several A New York congressman, who ardently desired re-election, announced to the voters of his district his desire "to destroy the insatiable appetite for accumulation," and was applauded. We wonder if he said what he meant or knew what he said. To this same "appetite for accumulation" can be traced every step of material progress that mankind has made in half a million years; every spare spear-shaft seasoned by the wood fire in the cave; every bushel of wheat laid by against the hour of famine; every shelter that has housed a family since men first acknowledged there was such a thing. The soviet has attempted to destroy this appetite, and the world has seen what that means. The fact of the case is that individuals save, but never mobs; that here in America, although we have had much was secured at the second place. A report of the El Toro robbery was made to the office of Sheriff C. E. Jackson Sunday morning and an investigation started. The San Onofre robbery was reported later in the day. Entrance to both stations is sal dito have been made in a similar manner and gave rise to the theory that the same thief or thieves entered both places. Additional loot secured at the El Toro station included a bunch of keys. One of these was for the lock on the stockyards and is said to look like a switch key. The El Toro station was entered through a window in the telegraph room, from which the glass was broken by the thief. The catch was turned and the window pried open with a chisel, investigation revealed. APPETITE FOR ACCUMULATION A New York congressman, who ardently desired re-election, announced to the voters of his district his desire "to destroy the insatiable appetite for accumulation," and was applauded. We wonder if he said what he meant or knew what he said. To this same "appetite for accumulation" can be traced every step of material progress that mankind has made in half a million years; every spare spear-shaft seasoned by the wood fire in the cave; every bushel of wheat laid by against the hour of famine; every shelter that has housed a family since men first acknowledged there was such a thing. The soviet has attempted to destroy this appetite, and the world has seen what that means.

Yerlington, Dr. Lester Keller, the First National Bank of Yorba Linda and W. W. Peden, to settle a dispute regarding oil leases and payments at Yorba Linda. The plaintiff was acting for Austin L.

Amanda Longnecker, Claude Anderson, Margaret Anderson, Frederick Stahler Frances Stahler, Oren Smith, Nellie Smith, J. J. Lilley, and Lena Lilley, the complaint set forth. These persons had a common interest in the property mentioned in the action. It was alleged. The foregoing plaintiffs, and F. O Gordon, entered into a common ownorship of property at Yorba Linda, described in detail in the complaint, it was said. It was further alleged that with the exception of Gordon, all now are owners of that property. In 1919 four wells were drilled on the property, it was asserted, yielding 300 barrels of oil each daily. It was claimed that when Gordon gave up his share of the property, he turned it over to the plaintiffs, and that the lease on that now held by the Yerrington's is null and void. The suit asks that this lease be declared null and void, that a lease held by Dr. Keller be declared null and void, and that a restraining order against the bank be issued, to prevent them from paying out any dividends, and that a receiver by appointed to determine what funds are due to the plaintiffs. A girl always thinks she is going to marry her hero and his snippy friends think he must be a hero or he wouldn't marry her. PERSIMMON MEN TO MEET The first convention of persimmmon growers in California has been called by the Orange county farm bureau at the instance of the numerous requests from growers in this fruit in Orange county and neighboring counties. The agricultural extension offices of Orange and Los Angeles counties are co-operating in arranging the program and assisting the local committee in making the first meeting a success from an educational and possible organization standpoint. Growers of persimmons are asked to reserve desirable fruit specimens for the occasion as the main harvest of the earlier varieties will be over at that time. Already a number of growers have put fruit in cold storage to hold over for the display, which is scheduled for the morning of the convention. The meeting will be held Friday, November 24., at Fullerton, probably at the Fullerton union high school, which will be announced definitely later. The fruit display will be open during the morning for inspection.

Los Angeles Street Telephone 33 ANAHEIM, CAL. 1:30 o'clock the main program will start. Farm Advisor Wahlberg states that a splendid program has been arranged. You can "make hay while the sun shines" almost any time if you furnish your own sun. It is a pity the world isn't so filled with "good sports" that none of them ever would say anything about his troubles. A young girl demands of life ROMANCE, but later she is willing to accept the part of it remaining after the first two and the last two letters are removed. Nobody ever appears so scared as a farmer driving a load of hay in a big town. In life, as on the road, you will avoid nearly all collisions if you keep to the right. Of all pests the worst is the man who fears those about him won't know how wise he is if he ever speaks well of anything. The best way to forget your troubles is to buy an old automobile. You then will have so many new ones you won't have time to remember your old ones. The man who never is sure of himself expects everybody else to be sure of him. The man who puts his head in the lion's mouth is a poor insurance risk, but he is quite as good as the motor driver who does not realize that railroad trains run on tracks. Somebody no doubt thinks you are "a man in a million," and so you are, but so is everybody else. If it were as easy to acquire habits of industry as it is to take on those of laziness, there wouldn't be work for more than half of those now employed. A lot of good people who "can't get ahead in the world," will be found leading the parade in the next. SUMMONS In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Riverside. N.
