SUPREME COURT RULING MAY EFFECT DEPUTIES County Officials Awaiting Opinion of Attorney General Webb Whether the force of deputies in the court house is to be reduced as the result of a decision entered in the supreme court October 10 rests upon an opinion expected by District Attorney A. P. Nelson from Attorney General U. S. Webb, at Sacramento. If the attorney general rules that the supreme court decision covers a wider field than was contemplated when the action was brought about the decision was begun, a number of offices in this county, as well as in many other counties in the state, will be materially affected, not only for the remainder of this year, but for the succeeding four years. The case that was taken to the supreme court was begun in San Diego county, where action was brought to prevent the auditor of that county from honoring warrants for the pay of an advisory board appointed by the county assessor under an act of the last legislature. When the case came to the supreme court the particular point was decided adversely to the advisory board, and in addition to that point, what may prove to be a sweeping decision on the compensation of all county officers was rendered. The attorney general may find that the wording of the decision is such that decisions hitherto held mandatory on county authorities have been set aside, and that a county officer during his four years of office must run the office without a dollar's increase for office help. One of the decisions under which county offices have been conducting their business for the past fourteen years had its inception in this county follows Red Riding Hood through the woods, and when in the last scene, it is discovered in the grandmother's bed, and presently creeps out and springs on poor, shaking Red Riding Hood, what horrors, but that is soon turned to joy as the queen rushes in with all her court, and puts the wolf to ignominious flight. The opening scene reveals the queen surrounded by her court, who are entertaining her with songs and dances, then comes the sleeping scene, with several little tots sitting on the ground with their dolls, and singing a lullaby, then it begins to get dark and they go to sleep, and the queen of night appears, who sings to them, and vanishes among the trees, the fairies humming the chorus. Scene three, is the mother and Red Riding Hood in their humble home, singing to each other, and preparing for a visit to the grandmother. The wolf now appears, and it is quite plain to the audience that things are going to happen. The last scene is the grandmother in bed waiting for the victim, Little Red Riding Hood, who soon comes in and sings to her grandmother, until she gets frightened, and then—but you must come and see for yourselves, the happy ending to one of the prettiest and most gorgeous operettas ever put on any stage. There will be some charming interludes between the scenes, dancing, singing, and the Pixies chorus in pantomime by 20 boys. The screaming farce, "The Train to Mauro," will be given before the operetta. The cast of characters is Mrs. Buttermilk, from the country, a nurse, Johnny Buttermilk, her son, not quite all there, and the station master, never wears "night cap." The whole under the direction of H. Easton-Jenner, for the Ebell club. There will be the drastic action sit. The older ones against the "they are taking business by almost impossibly claimed these a state license detecting their sponsible in other adverse a passenger. Without this claimed, they are at a minimum. Mr. Byerle, cern, claims that gers between fieta Hot Spring grant in hearing is expired brought before opinion. Charges were Byerle again operating outta Hot Spring of the Pickwick cause of numerous try legged irregular. An attempt the Pickwick the Murrieta sightseeing Angeles are effected by ythe line operators. The attorney general may find that the wording of the decision is such that decisions hitherto held mandatory on county authorities have been set aside and that a county officer during his four years of office must run the office without a dollar's increase for office help. One of the decisions under which county offices have been conducting their business for the past fourteen years had its inception in this county. Cal D. Lester was county auditor. A county government act was passed giving a number of officers of this county additional deputies. One of these deputies, Carl Newman, brought an amicable action against Lester to compel him to honor warrants for a new deputyship. Curtis D. Wilbur then a superior judge of Los Angeles sat in the case, and ruled against the deputies. The case was taken to the appellate court, and the decision there reversed Wilbur and established the rule that when an office that had a deputy was given additional deputies, the addition of deputies would not be construed as being a raise in compensation of the principal of the office. The decision has been considered the law of this state ever since the decision in the Newman case. Now comes the San Diego case. Judge Wilbur is now a justice of the supreme court, and the decision, written by Justice Lawler, follows exactly the same lines followed by Wilbur's decision in the superior court here. If the attorney general rules that the decision does not reach out into all county offices, as well as into the advisory board situation, nearly every office in the court house will be affected at least for the month of December. If the attorney general so rules, the offices until January 1 must go back to the compensation and office help basis allowed them when the terms began four years ago. After January 1, 1923, the basis would be the county government act of 1919. Even that will call for a decided set-back. Officers entering terms in January must conduct their offices for the next four years at exactly the allowances for help made by the last legislature. As seen by those familiar with the situation, this would mean that the business of this county would be badly crippled, for the county's business is growing faster, probably, than it is that of any other county in the state. There will be some charming interludes between the scenes, dancing, singing, and the Pixies chorus in pantomime by 20 boys. The screaming farce, "The Train to Mauro," will be given before the operetta. The cast of characters is Mrs. Buttermilk, from the country, a nurse, Johnny Buttermilk, her son, not quite all there, and the station master, never wears "night cap." The whole under the direction of H. Easton-Jenner, for the Ebell club. There will be over 100 in the cast. LIONS' CLUB ORGANIZED There are numerous lodges and clubs in Anaheim, but there is always room for one more, provided it is a worthy society. The latest to join the list is a Lions' club, which was instituted Tuesday night with a charter membership of thirty-five. At the same time a club was instituted at Garden Grove, the members being initiated at the Elks' club house in this city at the same time the Anaheim members rode the goat. Four hundred Lions from surrounding cities were present to assist in initiating the members of two clubs, and installing the officers. A banquet was given to the new members and the visitors at 7 o'clock, following which the Anaheim and Garden Grove Lions' clubs were instituted. Officers of the Anaheim club are: Bob White, president; C. C. Lamb, first vice-president; M. D. Clark, second vice-president; E. F. Ganahl, third vice-president; M. E. Beebe, secretary! F. W. James, treasurer; E. D. Thompson, tail twister; Billy Knott, lion tamer; Paul Bock, L. B. Weber, Elmer Bowers and Dr. J. C. Osher, directors. STAGE LINES CARRY DISPUTE INTO COURT Motor Transit Co. Seeks to Restrain Murietta Stage Line Anaheim people are considerable interested in the fight between the Motor Transit company and the Murietta Hot Springs stage line. Suit was filed by the Motor Transit company in Los Angeles last week in an endeavor to stop the Murietta stage from carrying passengers from Anaheim to Los Angeles. Though the Murietta organization is one of the oldest automobile stage operators in Angeles are affected by bystander line operators.

Officers entering terms in January must conduct their offices for the next four years at exactly the allowances for help made by the last legislature. As seen by those familiar with the situation, this would mean that the business of this county would be badly crippled, for the county's business is growing faster, probably, than it is that of any other county in the state that has no county charter. Counties with charters are not affected. The recorder's office alone would not be hit. It goes on a folio basis the first of the year, which will give the office a chance to adjust its help according to the amount of work it has to do. District Attorney Nelson has wired to the attorney general for instructions. LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD "You have only to touch with your finger tips," The ivory gates and golden." You have only to set back in the comfy seats in the auditorium of the high school on the evening of Dec. 7th, and back they will roll, toeh hurrying, tearing years, those years when the one thought from morn till night has been money, money, money; clouding over the charm, and the higher things that make life so worth while—yes, I say again—back they will all roll, and you will be a child again, once more, and the childish faith in faries will once again be your, as you see the beautiful queen and her dazzling court, and the comfortable looking mother and dear little Red Riding Hood, not to forget the savage wolf, oh, how it can growl and bark, and what terror it strikes into the hearts of the little folks, as it Murietta Stage Line Anaheim people are considerable interested in the fight between the Motor Transit company and the Murietta Hot Springs stage line. Suit was filed by the Motor Transit company in Los Angeles last week in an endeavor to stop the Murietta stage from carrying passengers from Anaheim to Los Angeles. Though the Murietta organization is one of the oldest automobile stage lines in California, the wide activities of the less stable operators, who are reaping a rich harvest in the transportation of tourists and travelers, is resulting, it is said, in a serious financial loss to the well-founded and protected organizations. The complaint filed by Mr. Kidd, who is leading the Motor Transit's fight against the Murietta line, operated by FritzByerle, contended that the Murietta line was not operating within its rights by hauling passengers from Fullerton and Anaheim to Los Angeles and extending their line through Corona, Placentia and Yorba. Preparations for a "show-down" of all "wildcat" bus, private car and tourist stage operators are under way. As rapidly as investigations are completed, charges of wide variation will be filed with the railroad commission. In discussing the situation, officials of the stage line, including Mr. Byerle of the Murietta organization, claimed the activities of the "wildcat" lines had reached its climax and that they were prepared to "wipe them out." They claimed this action was being taken to protect their own interests and the welfare of the public as well. The complaint of the Motor Transit against the Murietta line is said to be but a forerunner of this winter's activities. All autos and buses, taking advantage of the concessions granted by the commission, will come within ANAHEIM GAZETTE through the hot scene, it mudmother's out and used Riding that is soon rushes in the wolf reveals the court, who songs and sleeping spots sitting rolls, and begins to get and the sings to the trees, corrus, and RedIBLE home, preparing er. and it what things handmother, Little comes in either, until then—but for your one of the operettas training inter-dancing, us in pan-The Train to see the operets is Mrs. by a nurse, not quite master, new whole Gaston-Jenere will be the drastic activity of the Motor Tran sit. The older concerns are up in arms against the "wild cat" men, claiming they are taking a large portion of their business by cutting prices to a figure almost impossible to meet. It is claimed these drivers operate without a state license, without insurance protecting their passengers and are irresponsible in the event of accident or other adverse conditions confronting a passenger. Without this overhead expense, it is claimed, they are able to make runs at a minimum figure. Mr. Byerle, of the Murrietta concern, claims the right to carry passengers between Los Angeles and Murrieta Hot Springs by right of a priority grant in 1916. A hotly contested hearing is expected when the case is brought before the commission for an opinion. Charges were recently filed by Mr. Byerle against the Pickwick stages operating out of San Diego to Murieta Hot Springs, claiming the services of the Pickwick concern have been the cause of much inconvenience and numerous trying situations due to alleged irregular service. An attempt is being made to have the Pickwick right withdrawn from the Murrieta Hot Springs district. Sightseeing buses in and near Los Angeles are not expected to be affected by ythe activities of the stage line operators. CUBA COMING OUT OF CRISIS Cuba seems to be coming out from under the shadows of economic stress. It has been difficult for the official representative of the United States government—General Enoth H. Crowder—to induce the Cuban government to prevarications while testifying. The court also branded Murphy as a boot-legger. Murphy was arrested at Westminster one night last April following a series of episodes, one of which was characterized by the manifestation of a fancy on the part of Murphy to disrobe both himself and his wife. This mood was induced, it was believed, by the necessity of the people divesting themselves of clothing which had become mired when they engaged in physical combat at the bottom of an eight-foot drainage ditch at Westminster. The disrobing attempt was said to have taken place during a somewhat belligerent automobile jaunt in which Mr. and Mrs. James Adams, of Los Angeles, participated. BAUER MAKES CORRECTION Newport Beach, Nov. 10, 1922. Editor Gazette—Thanks for the complimentary news item on page five of November 9 in reference to my run for congress. I wish to make a correction, however, in your statement that I "was run over Tuesday by Phil Swing's steam roller." The joke of the matter is the fact that I was not run over, but the people who voted against me steam-rolled themselves by not supporting me in defense of the constitution and against the dry nobility. Returns from the eleventh district show that the majority of voters did not realize that eighteenth or prohibition amendment is not a genuine amendment to the constitution. Yours truly, GEORGE BAUER. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH NOT BUILDING UNIVERSITY Proposed Institution Will Be Built FREE SEEDS Congressman Phil D. Swing sends us the following relative to the distribution of seeds: "My dear Editor: Although I was opposed to the expenditure by the government of $360,000 for free seed because I thought that amount of money could be put to a better purpose or else saved to the taxpayers, yet congress decided otherwise, and I accordingly have now been assigned my quota for distribution within my district. I will be glad to send to any of my constituents who request it, such vegetable and flower seed as I have as long as my supply lasts. "Those desiring seed should address Congressman Phil D. Swing, House Office Building, Washington, D. C." SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Resignation of Theo. Schauer, justice of the peace, Stanton township, was accepted to take effect at once. The resignation of D. D. Whitten, as justice of the peace, Laguna township, was denied. The county auditor was directed to draw a warrant on the advertising fund for $50, payable to J. C. Wallace, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Ana realty board. Assessment No. 12,635, covering property assessed to Edwin D. Morrison, was ordered cancelled. Assessment No. 18,974, covering property assessed to L. E. Tower, was ordered cancelled. Same being double assessment. Map of tract No. 384 was ordered received by b ythe board and same was submitted to the city engineer of the city of Santa Ana. Map of tract No. 346 was ordered received by the board and same was submitted to the city engineer of the CUBA COMING OUT OF CRISIS Cuba seems to be coming out from under the shadows of economic stress. It has been difficult for the official representative of the United States government—General Enno H. Crowder—to induce the Cuban government to accept the plans and suggestions of this country for effecting fiscal reforms in the island. The difficulties gave rise to a report that General Crowder had served an ultimatum on the Havana government to the effect that, if the American plan were not accepted within ten days, he would withdraw from the island and there would be armed intervention by the United States. Assurance comes from Washington that there is no intention of resorting to armed intervention in this matter. Cuban officials say that the budget of Cuba has been balanced and that the Cuban government's receipts are now in excess of expenditures. By effecting economies, if this be true, it should be possible to set the island upon its financial feet again soon. The United States is not playing the role of a bully in the island. It is trying to get the fiscal affairs of the Cuban government upon a business-like basis, and to promote the industrial and commercial life of the little insular republic. HISTORIC SAN FRANCISCO Upon the solicitation of the 100 Per Cent club, a group of representative men and women of that city have undertaken to finance the production of five reels of film showing San Francisco as it was in the beginning and is now. Each great step in the progress of the city will be shown from the day when Governor Portola first saw the site to the great fire of 1906 and after. It has to be financed by public subscription. In order that it may be shown the world over without charge to the exhibitor or royalty to an author. It is a most commendable service which will entitle this generous and public spirited group to the thanks and gratitude of their fellow citizens. The beginnings and early history of no other city on earth are tinged with more romance than those of San Francisco and against the dry nobility. Returns from the eleventh district show that the majority of voters did not realize that eighteenth or prohibition amendment is not a genuine amendment to the constitution. Yours truly, GEORGE BAUER. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH NOT BUILDING UNIVERSITY Proposed Institution Will Be Built With Private Capital Referring to a recent article in several papers stating that the Christian Science church was figuring on the erection of a $5,000,000 university at Fullerton, the following letter has been received at this office: "Dear Sir: In a recent issue of your paper it was stated that "a $5,000,000 university of Church of Christ Scientist" is proposed for Fullerton, and that a representative of "a building corporation of the church has been in Fullerton twice recently conferring with persons with regard to obtaining a site for the university which the church proposes to locate in California. "The people of Orange county should know that neither the Mother church, the First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, or any of the branch churches plan any university. A company is being promoted for the establishment of a university which it is stated to be open only to the children of Christian Scientists, and to be financed by the sale of stock which is now being offered to the public. This is, hwoever, a private enterprise entirely and one whic has no connection with nor endorsement from the Christian Science movement, directly or indirectly. Yours very truly. DOUGLAS A. EDMONDS. Christian Science Committee on Publication."

The county auditor was directed to draw warrant for $300 on road district No. 4 in favor of the Stephen Townsend company. Hearing on road improvement No. 8 was continued to November 1, 1922, at 2 p.m. STAMPED ENVELOP RECORD HECKE WARNS AGAINST THE CODDLING MOTH Pest Has Made Its Appearance in This County In order to facilitate the control of codling moth and prevent its distribution, G. H. Heck, director of agriculture of the state of California, has issued a proclamation setting the boundaries of the district infested by this pest and warning walnut growers within that area to exercise every precaution to eliminate the trouble. Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange counties are included in the district infected with codling moth, according to the proclamation. According to A. A. Brock, horticultural commissioner, methods used by many of the walnut growers' associations to check the spread of the pest were used and walnut sacks were run through these in the packing houses before sending them to the fields. This method has failed to kill all of the moths carried in this way, Mr. Brock stated. The moths hibernate in a larva state during winter months and hatch out when sacks are taken to the fields. A more efficient method has been developed by vacuum fumigation of saens and materials used with carbon bisulphide. This has had the deesired effect and is recommended. It is expected that efforts will be made to require this method of extermination in order to check the danger of codling moth in Orange county walnut orchards. CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS Christmas stockings, according to the family breadwinner, not only grow larger, but multiply at a rapid rate. Deed for right of way was accepted and declared a public highway from the Stephen Townsend company. The county auditor was directed to draw warrant for $300 on road district No. 4 in favor of the Stephen Townsend company. Hearing on road improvement No. 8 was continued to November 1, 1922, at 2 p.m. STAMPED ENVELOP RECORD The greatest day's output of United States stamped envelopes was recorded early this month when the printing office doing this work for the government produced 13,548,000 stamped envelopes. The steady increase of demand for stamped envelopes indicates increased business throughout the United States. DELINQUENT NOTICE George C.
