Undoubtedly the present vehicle act will be changed, say club officials who are preparing to see that the changes will be improvements on the present act. A suggestion is made, and it is backed by a large number of club members that an examination be taken by all who apply for permits to operate a motor vehicle in California. This examination, it is said, should inquire into the physical fitness of the applicant, into his understanding of the mechanics of driving a motor vehicle and into his knowledge of the elementary road rules.

Free trade papers and a number of Democratic congressmen who were loading the Congressional Record for free campaign distribution, worked themselves into hysteria in condemning the tariff law and assuring the country that if it passed nothing could come into the country, and as a consequence, nothing could go out for the nations of the world would stop buying. October showed an export trade of $371,000,000, the greatest since March, 1921, when post-war buying was still about a week of September, the bill about a wee kof September, the biff becoming a law on the 22nd of that month," explained the Democrats who sought to belittle the fact. The protectionists let it go at that. The November figures, however, give the opponents of protecion something to think about, for during that month our exports reached the comfortable total of $383,000,000. That was at the rate of $12,800,000 daily, and since the figures were announced we haven't heard a peep out of the free traders. The Democratic tariff law which went out of existence September 22nd was enacted in October, 1913. During that month we exported $272,000,000 worth of products, and the following month they dropped to $245,000,000. But exports under protection restored showed a considerable increase over the last month under the Democratic policy. For example, the last full month under that policy, August, we exported nearly $302,000,000 worth, or $81,000,000 less than the first full month under the Republican law. The reason is not hard to find. Our exporters know where they stand under the present law. They know the foreign competitor will not have the opportunities under protection to appropriate the domestic market while members that an examination be taken by all who apply for permits to operate a motor vehicle in California. This examination, it is said, should inquire into the physical fitness of the applicant, into his understanding of the mechanics of driving a motor vehicle and into his knowledge of the elementary road rules. The argument advanced in favor of the suggestion is the experience of the state of Massa-chusetts. Figures obtained from Massachusetts show that now one-fourth of those who apply are denied permission to operate an automobile. The first year such a system was applied, 14 percent of the applicants were rejected and it is also reported that immediately the accidents throughout the state were reduced one-half. In other words, it appears that 14 per cent of the operators caused one-half of Massachusetts traffic accidents. The legislature in California meets every two years and next month begins its 123 session. The legal department officials of the auto club at this time are considering hundreds of suggestions from club members for improvements in the act. DO YOU KNOW YOUR AUTO LICENSE NUMBER? Do you know your own license number? Almost five out of every nine automobile owners in California cannot give their state license number off hand if called for suddenly, say officials of the theft bureau of the Auto-mobile Club of Southern California. This is a lamentable state of affairs, say the authorities, but one which is nevertheless true and it is the cause of many motorists losing their machines every month.

They know the foreign competitor will not have the opportunities under protection to appropriate the domestic market while our exporters are building up markets abroad. They know that a watchdog is on guard at every port of entry while Uncle Sam is clearing his export fields abroad. They know they can go ahead with commercial expansion, and that their share of the domestic market will be such as to permit them to operate their factories and farms at capacity, which means lower unit cost and a larger number of hands employed. In the near future we shall no doubt see what, to Democratic minds, would appear to be a paradox, namely, lower prices under protection, for the importers, who have monopolized the market under the Democratic law, and soaked the buying public for all it would stand, will find themselves forced to compete with the American manufacturer. The present tariff law is bravely facing down the atrocious libels uttered against it in the recent campaign, and it is vindicating the party which placed it on the statute books. By the time the next campaign has rolled around the people will have realized its virtues. LAWS TO BE CHANGED Following numerous suggestions made by its members, the legal department of the Automobile Club of stands a fair chance of getting out of the state with the stolen car because there is no way of stopping him by telegraph or radio at the state's borders, as could be done if the license numbers were available. Club officials suggest that those motorists who are simply unable to remember the six numbers of their state license should file this number with the theft bureau together with the engine number and general description of the car so that all he will have to do if the machine is stolen is to give the detectives his name and let them do the rest, as this file system is arranged alphabetically and the service is available for the public at large. HUNTERS AND CAMPERS LEADING OFFENDERS Were you Uncle Sam's guest last summer—one of million and a half visitors to the national forests of California? And did you extinguish your fire before you broke camp, and stamp out the last spark of that cigarette you were smoking? Are you sure you did—or were you one of the 750 who forgot. "Seventy-five per cent of the 1034 fires which occurred in the national forests of the state this year were due to carelessness—set by smokers, hunters, campers, brush-burners, loggers and railroads," said District Forester P. G. Redington, of the forest service, headquarters. "Every one of these conflagrations could have been prevented if proper care had been exercised in the use of fire in the woods. A camp or brush fire left unextinguished; a match or cigarette thoughtlessly tossed into the litter alongside the road or trail, is a deadly menace to the forest. If we are to keep our mountains green, and preserve California's greatest natural asset—the national forests, the public must take to heart the popular max- New Year's Greetings OF THE Golden State N We extend to cordial greeting cerely hope th Year will give headquarters. "Every one of these conflagrations could have been prevented if proper care had been exercised in the use of fire in the woods. A camp or brush fire left unextinguished; a match or cigarette thoughtlessly tossed into the litter alongside the road or trail, is a deadly menace to the forest. If we are to keep our mountains green, and preserve California's greatest natural asset, the national forests, the public must take to heart the popular maxim, 'Prevent Forest Fires—It Pays.' "Smokers were responsible for 44 per cent of our man-caused fires this past season." continued Mr. Redington. "During the month of September we had 126 such fires in the national forests of the state, largely started by cigarettes. Right here it is interesting to note that one of the largest tobacco manufacturers in the country is now printing a cautionary fire notice on the flap of its cigarette packages. This is a step forward in the right direction, and other important cigarette makers should join in the movement, from a moral obligation standpoint if for no other reason. In the forest service many of our men voluntarily gave up smoking in the woods during the fire season, and some of the large lumber companies in the Pacific northwest absolutely prohibit smoking in the woods. Also, throughout the country in 'big business' plants the 'No Smoking' rule is being more rigidly enforced each year. "Other serious causes of forest fires are hunters, and campers, and motorists. With the opening up of the mountainous regions within the national forests by new and better roads and trails, the number of sportsmen and vacationists who visit these areas has grown tremendously. Our records show that 14 per cent of the man-caused fires this season are chargeable to hunters, and nearly 20 per cent to campers. It is proposed to eliminate a part of the danger resulting from a congestion of hunters in the woods during the height of the fire season by a change in the state fish and game laws, delaying the opening of the fall hunting season for two weeks. "Campfire permits are now required in all national forests in California," said the district forester. "This rule was put into effect last season and produced good results without imposing any undue hardships on visitors to the forests. In this connection it is receipts was only 11 per cent which is less than the reductions in tax provided for by the new revenue act. This again puts Los Angeles at the head of the sixty-four internal revenue districts. For the calendar year ending December 31 income tax receipts will reach $33,717, 26.11 as compared with $35, 21,215 reported for the last fiscal year. This indicates a Los Angeles decrease of but 5.8 per cent as against a 30 per cent for th e country as a whole. Collector Goodcell pointed out that 47,926 more income tax returns were filed in 1922 than in 1921. This would indicate an increase in population in such persons chargeable with murder in the event that lives are lost as a result of such interference. Rather singular that such a law already is not on the statute books. Murder is murder, but some kinds of murder are more atrocious and abhorent than others. The flands who deliberately and with malice aforethought plan the wrecking of trains as an act of revenge against the owners of the roads, and thus, through the execution of their designs, cause the death of innocent and helpless passengers, should be held to be beyond the pale of human mercy. No punishment could be sufficiently severe for the criminals of this class. "Campfire permits are now required in all national forests in California," said the district forester. "This rule was put into effect last season and produced good results without imposing any undue hardships on visitors to the forests. In this connection it is interesting to note that Secretary of Agriculture Wallace has recently promulgated regulations whereby during periods of great fire hazard, areas within national forests may be designated and closed to the public, or smoking prohibited except at improved camping grounds. We have not yet put these regulations into effect on the California forests, and I hope that fire conditions will take a turn for the better so that such measures will not be necessary. "The crux of the forest fire problem lies in educating the public to apreciate the destruction and needless waste wrought by man-caused fires. Co-operation is essential to success if we are ever to get the upper hand of the fire demon." Be careful with fire should, therefore, be the watchword of every citizen when in the woods." INCOME TAX RECEIPTS Income tax receipts for the December drive for the payment of the fourth and final installment will amount to $6,426,261.81. Collector of Internal Revenue Rex Goodcell announces. Income tax collections for the country as a whole have shown a decrease of 30 per cent, while the Los Angeles district's shrinkage in December re- For the calendar year ending December 31 income tax receipts will reach $23,717, 26.11 as compared with $35, 21,215 reported for the last fiscal year. This indicates a Los Angeles decrease of but 5.8 per cent as against a 30 per cent for th ecountry as a whole. Collector Goodcell pointed out that 47,926 more income tax returns were filed in 1922 than in 1921. This would indicate an increase in population in southern California of 380,000 as one out of eight persons filed a return in 1921. Announcement was made by Collector Goodcell that receipts for federal taxes on capital stock in corporations in southern California for the first five months of the current fiscal year, June 30 to December 1, were $1... 2973 as compared with collections for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, of $1,106,000. The receipts for the five months period represent federal tax paid on capital stock of southern California corporations of an actual value of $1,211,545,000. Collector Goodcell's survey shows that in one year California corporations reported for taxation net income of $283,000,000, which is greater than the combined income turned in by the twelve big Pacific coast and western states. This grand total of net and gross corporation and net personal income reported for California was $5,475,000,000. MURDER IS MURDER Senator Sterling has introduced a bill making it a felony under the federal law for any person or persons to interfere with the operation of trains in interstate commerce, and making murder are more atrocious and abhorent than others. The flends who deliberately and with malice aforethought plan the wrecking of trains as an act of revenge against the owners of the roads, and thus, through the execution of their designs, cause the death of innocent and helpless passengers, should be held to be beyond the pale of human mercy. No punishment could be sufficiently severe for the criminals of this class. Senator Sterling's bill should become a law. Difficult as it is to believe there are in this country many men who seek to justify such slaughter as an act of reprisal against those they hold to be their enemies. The logic of this murderous philosophy is the same as that preached by the advocates of German frightfulness during the world war. Murder—the murder of innocent and defenseless men, women and children—at the hands of autocratic groups is becoming more common every day. The horror of Herrin was only a little more spectacular than other industrial crimes, and the frankly lawless I. W. W. no longer is the only outstanding agency responsible for industrial murder. Let the criminal code be strengthened in the nation and the states. Society should take up the red gage of battle thrown down by the lawless leagues of autocratic anarchy.
