M. Hickel left Orange county Monday evening for Hollywood avowing dire vengeance on the county authorities and motorcycle officers in particular. To begin with, Mrs. Hickel is said to have stopped her car to powder her nose. The car was located near the middle of the Anaheim boulevard at the Katella sub-station at the time. Chief County Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr, H. S. Warner and C. C. Carrillo, court interpreter, were traveling along this road in a Dodge car in the rain. From the location of the car in which Mrs. Hickel was sitting, it appeared to be in motion. Too late it was found to be standing still and Carr applied the brakes on his car and skidded on the wet pavement. He turned abruptly to the left, hoping to shoot off into the orange grove beside the road. The left rear wheel of his car struck the right rear fender of Mrs. Hickel's car. The womas's car was not seriously injured, but Carr's machine suffered a removal from the tax rolls here, by the present scheme of taxation, of millions of dollars worth of taxable wealth. California entered upon her present tax plan in 1910, by vote of the people—entered upon it at the behest of the corporations, which had conceived the large corporations of the state, in general terms called the public utility idea that it would be better for them to be assessed for state purposes only, and by one only, rather than to be subject to the whims and fancies and judgments of as many different county assessors as there are counties. And to some extent they have profited by the plan. Indeed, about the only people who have lost heavily by the new plan are the banks, which prior to the induction of the new scheme, escaped with but a nominal tar. Now they are compelled to pay on all their resources, which are plainly set forth on their books. No taxes are paid on deposits, of course. One of the provisions of the present tax schemes is that if the public utilities do not pay enough taxes, on the same basis with the individual taxpayer who pays the local taxes, then there shall be levied a general tax on everybody, corporations and individuals alike, to make up the deficit. Four years ago the state authorities became alarmed at the prospect of this general tax and a tax committee, of which the San Bernardino county member in the state senate was chairman, studied the situation, in an effort to discover new sources of revenue, escaping taxation, which might provide the deficit, if one should loom. But it so soon developed that the corporations would pay enough to cover the expense so the committee did not incur any expense of investigation. Now, according to the report of the state board of equalization, which is one of the most competent boards in (b) If your name is 000.

He turned abruptly to the left, hoping to shoot off into the orange grove beside the road. The left rear wheel of his car struck the right rear fender of Mrs. Hickel's car. The womas's car was not seriously injured, but Carr's machine suffered a broken wheel. An officer and a newspaper man in a car following witnessed the accident and declared it unavoidable. Following the episode in which Mrs. Hirkel is said to have bedome highly vociferous in her imprecations against the officers, she returned to Santa Ana. At the croner of Fourth and Main streets she was involved in another mixup from which he car escaped unscathed. Traveling another block she cut a corner and almost ran over City Motorcycle Officer Frank S. Stewart, it is said. At the city hall Mrs. Hickel again expressed her opinion of Orange county and Santa Ana authorities and went from there to district attorney, who listened to her troubles, but refused to take any action in the case. On the way back to Hollywood, Mrs. Hickel passed through Fullerton and again took a short cut across a corner, missing the "button" entirely. This cost her $5 when she was arraigned before Justice of the Peace William French there. Mrs. Hickel then proceeded on her way to Hollywood. She had been to San Diego for a visit, she stated and was on way home when the exciting series of events occurred. COUNTY LAND IN FIGHT Land, so valuable at the present time that even the title of the county to three roads plotted in the original sub-division is questioned, and which only a few years ago was given away as a premium with the sale of encyclopedias is the crux in an action to quiet title in high the county of Orange is named as defendant. According to Vallee O. Appel, who is plaintiff in the action, he was owner in fee of the land, which as known as "tract 62." This tract was sub-divided and a plot submitted to the supervisors in 1916. Three streets were plotted at that time and were named Bolsa, Cedar and Pine streets, Santa Ana. INCOME TAX NOTES Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair notified Collector Rex Goodcell that Attorney Daugherty as now considering the question of whether heads of family may make 200 gallons of unintoxicating fruit pulses annually and that pending the attorney general's decision the treasury department hold that the alcoholic contents of fruit juices made exclusively for home use of the producer is not limited to less than one-half of one percent. The ruling points out that section 29 of the national prohibition act prevents prosecution of the maker for possession of such fruit juice while it is held for family use without sale and that notice of intention to make this juice is a departmental matter in which the San Bernardino county member in the state senate was chairman, studied the situation, in an effort to discover new sources of revenue, escaping taxation, which might provide the deficit, if one should loom. But it so soon developed that the corporations would pay enough to cover the expense so the committee did not incur any expense of investigation. Now, according to the report of the state board of equalization, which is one of the most competent boards in the state's service, the same situation is faced. This body has sent to the governor a statement that the state's expense must be kept down to $40,000,000 a year if expenses are to be met through present revenues. The railroads are hloiding up the King tax bill, insofar as they are concerned, which is keeping back about two and a half millions yearly; or there would be that much leeway. If the decision is favorable to the constitutionality of the tax measure, this money will be available; and if not, the prospect is that unless the expenses can be held down, the alternative of a tax upon all the people will come to us. It was this desire to save the people from such a tax, and to force the railroads and other public service corporations to pay at the same rate individuals pay that led to the great uproar in the legislature two years ago and to the present political situation.

According to Vallee O. Appel, who is plaintiff in the action, he was owner in fee of the land, which as known as "tract 62." This tract was sub-divided and a plot submitted to the supervisors in 1916. Three streets were plotted at that time and were named Bolsa, Cedar and Pine streets, Santa Ana. According to Appel the county road book contains no entries concerning these streets and prior to September, 1920, were unimproved. At that time the property in question was leased to the Texcal Oil company and in December, 1921, oil was struck on the property. Appel declares that in July, 1921, the board passed a resolution making the three streets in question public highways. In the complaint to which a stipulation setting forth the facts in the case was filed, the county declares that it was entirely within its rights to do so. Appel is seeking clear title to the entire property on the grounds that the procedure was never carried out according to the original plan. STATE TAX PROBLEMS One of the up-state assemblymen has introduced a constitutional amendment to do away with the present method of collecting state taxes, known as "Amendment No. 1," because it is a constitutional amendment and substitute therefor the old plan of taxing all the people on an advalorem basis. In passing, it may be remarked that almost any change from the present system would be acceptable to San Bernardino county, which meets a heavy burden because of the Commissioner Blair's decision is of far-reaching importance, as it affects thousands of families who have manufactured fruit juices, after they had filed notice of intention with the internal revenue department, which in the natural course of fermentation later turned into light wines. Commissioner Blair's ruling is as follows. "Re telegram January 19. Attorney general is now reconsidering question of non-intoxicating fruit juices and pending decision bureau holds alcoholic content of such juice exclusively for home use of producer not limited to less than half one percent and section twenty-nine prevents prosecution of maker for possession of such juice while so held without sale. Notice o fintention to make suhh juice is a departmental record required under tax law." Approximately twenty thousand southern Californians who paid tax last year on net incomes in excess of $5000 will receive copies of form 1040 on which they must make returns for 1922, in today's mail. Instructions releasing this form were received from Washington by Collector Goodcell. You must file your return on form 1040— (a) If the combined net income of husband and wife exceeds $5000.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE (b) If your net income exceeds $5,000. (c) If the net income reported in this return exceeds $4000, and the entire family exemption has been claimed in a separate return filed by husband or wife. (d) If the return is filled for a period of less than one year and the net income when placed on an annual basis exceeds $3000. Revenue officials estimate that the class of taxpayers filing 1040 returns for 1922 will pass the 25,000 mark. More than 150,000 copies of form 1040-a, on which net incomes of less than $5000 are reported, have been mailed to taxpayers. For the year 1921, the total number of returns filed was 190,000, and Collector Goodcell believes the 225,000 mark will be passed for 1922 returns. Collector Goodcell pointed out recently that in computing net income no deductions are allowed for: 1. Personal, living or family expenses. 2. Amounts paid for new buildings or permanent improvements made to increase values. 3. Amounts expended restoring property for which allowance is or has been made. 4. Premiums on life insurance in trade or business where the taxpayer is directly or indirectly the beneficiary. Inquiries are coming in from hundreds of employees who receive per diem allowances for expenses in addition to their regular salaries. They want to know if this amount is to be included as income in their returns. Collector Goodcell construes the la as follows: "If an individual receives a salary and also an allowance for meals and lodging, as, for example, a per diem allowance in lieu of sub- have had no effect. His mind seems to be made up. There is reason for displeasure in contemplation of this for other than commercial considerations. Former secretaries have had great schemes of betterment. If such schemes lack the element of stability, the creation of new ones takes on the aspect of a form of official amusement. The next secretary of the navy may upset the Denby project as easily as Denby has upset those he found awaiting development. THE TRACTOR SCHOOL Orange county farmers attending the tractor school at O. P. Rust's ranch at Anaheim settled down to the real business of the week of schooling in the efficient, economical use of the farm motor vehicle. Weather conditions cannot bother fire school, as its activities are protected by ya solid roof. The school is under direction of the agricultural extension service, with E. J. Stirniman, tractor specialist, in charge of instruction. W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor of Orange county, who handled registrations and arranged for the smooth running of the school, has charge of a special instruction section. Two other assistant instructors, R. B. Lunby and L. L. Barbee, also have full schedules for the week. To facilitate rapid instruction, Cory said, the classmen, numbering about 80, were divided into sections. Each section is expected to cover the full extent of the tractor course before the close of the school next Saturday. Repairs, overhauling, efficient running with proper respect to economy, long life and proper service of the farm machine, and other points of interest to the operator of tractors are being taught by lecture and demonstration. of allotting tribal reservations, encouraging the Indians to improve the land, and then kicking them off as soon as the land has acquired a value that excites the covetous white. There ought to be some action that would have for the Indian all the significance that the proclamation of emancipation held for the colored race. HULA DANCE DENOUNCED Leading Hawaiians composing the Hawaiian Civic club have denounced the Hula Hula dance as given in exhibitions in Hawaii and on the mainland in costume alleged to be typically Hawaiian as "indecent parodies" of the ancient Hula dance as it was once given. In resolutions adopted they have asked that all persons promoting or performing so-called Hula dancing desist. There were those in this country who felt that the Hula dance bordered on gross impropriety, but since we have had the shimmy and other things worse in our own best class ball rooms it was not for the likes of us to throw any stones at the Hawaiians. Perhaps now that the civilized south sea people have spoken we may be better able to do a little protesting on our own account at many unsavory things countenanced "on the mainland." WHIPPING POST IS URGED Rather startling is the recommendation of William A. Pinkerton, noted detective, that the whipping post and pillory be used as a means of punishing hold-up men and sneaw thieves. Mr. Pinkerton believes that a revival of the penalties inflicted in Puritan colonial days would be more effectual today than jail sentences. But public sentiment hardly would support a means of punishment which smacks of the brutal. Corporal pun- Inquiries are coming in from hundreds of employees who receive per diem allowances for expenses in addition to their regular salaries. They want to know if this amount is to be included as income in their returns. Collector Goodcell construes the la as follows. "If an individual receives a salary and also an allowance for meals and lodging, as, for example, a per diem allowance in lieu of subsistence, any excess of cost of such meals and lodging over the allowance, plus the ordinary expenditures required for such purposes when at home, is deductible, but any excess of the allowance over such expenses minus such ordinary expenditures is taxable income. Collector Goodcell announced that the last of the 1040-a income tax forms were mailed. One hundred and seventy-five thousand of these returns were sent out. Only taxpayers who made returns last year were on the mailing list. The collector reminded taxpayers whose 1922 income is taxable and who made no return for 1921 that they are expected to osecure form 1040-a and file returns. Failure to receive a form does not excuse the taxpayer. CHARGES LAND FRAUD Tales of stock investments, which would not huge returns within a short time and which could be purchased at a saving of $100 on every $1000 are charged in a complaint in which N. M. Jay, of Anaheim, charges A. H. Edwards with obtaining money under false pretense. Jay declares that Edwards told him that a man by the name of Henry Terrill, an automobile salesman in Long Beach, had some valuable stock for sale for which he was agent. Due to the fact that Terrill was in need of the money due to the arrival of a carload of automobiles within the next few days this stock could be purchased at the rate of $900 for each $1000 in value. Jay was led to invest $900 on this representation by Edwards, he declares. Investigation revealed that Terrill had no such stock as was represented by Edwards and had merely been a figurehead in the deal. Later Jay put $500 more in the deal and received in return 100 shares of United Candy shops, valued at $1000, according to Edwards. NO DIVIDENDS WITHOUT SERVICE Senator Johnson has introduced a bill providing that railroads shall not be permitted to declare dividends until an examination of their business by the inter-state commerce commission shall show that they are rendering the public the service. The bill is very brief, being in fact only 23 lines, and proposes to bring this result about through an amendment to the transportation act of 1920. In introducing the bill, Senator Johnson made the following statement: "I offer this bill as the only mode of correcting an intolerable condition. Many of the farmers and producers of the west have been ruined by the car shortage of last year. The losses run into the hundreds of millions of dollars. These great transportation companies are engaged in a public service. They do not hesitate to ask relief from the government, and that relief has been accorded them. The public service they undertake should be performed. It is not performed when the products of the west rot upon the ground because the railroad companies assert they are unable to transport them. Dividends are profits. The brief bill I offer gives the public needs and services precedence over profits. It will require the money earned in the public service to be used to put the railroad companies in condition to fulfill their public duty. When the railroad companies adequately meet the needs of the public service they will be permitted to declare dividends, but until they perform their duty, this bill would prohibit them from devoting the profits to their own needs rather than to the public's necessities. FREEING THE INDIANS It is indeed an anomolous situation that necessitates congressional action for the purpose of freeing the Indians." Rather startling is the recommendation of William A. Pinkerton, noted detective, that the whipping post and pillory be used as a means of punishing hold-up men and sneaw thieves. Mr. Pinkerton believes that a revival of the penalties inflicted in Puritan colonial days would be more effectual today than jail sentences. But public sentiment hardly would support a means of punishment which smacks of the brutal. Corporal punishment, in public, is out of tune with the spirit of this age. No matter how brutal the crime, the public does not want the brutality compounded by the inflicting of penalties, in the name of law, out of keeping with the spirit of the times. The whipping post and pillory are relics of a by-gone age. There could be no good and sufficient reason for reverting to the old days. Punishment should be severe, but not shockingly cruel. GIRLS ARE BETTER IN STUDIES Girl students in the elementary schools of California still maintain their wonted lead over the boys, according to a recent report by the assistant superintendent of public instruction. Statistics compiled during the last year show that the girls have just a shade the advantage in their studies over their male competitors. Out of 259,565 boys enrolled in the elementary schools last year 28,949 were "repeaters," or will be forced to make the same work over again this year because of inability to pass the examinations. In percentage 11.1 of the total failed to pass. On the other hand, out of 243,314 girls enrolled 8.5 or 20,734, were "repeaters" last year. Estimates of former years show approximately the same relative proportion. All of which clearly demonstrates that in the early stages of intellectual pursuits the girls always have led the boys, and probably will continue to do so, largely because at that age they are more teachable. TAKING MORE THAN TENTH Under the ancient tithing system, one-tenth of a man's income was taken as a tax. There are a lot of Americans who would profit by going back to the tithing system. A loud talker doesn't convince any body, but he scares them and gets the next few days this stock could be purchased at the rate of $900 for each $1000 in value. Jay was led to invest $900 on this representation by Edwards, he declares. Investigation revealed that Terrill had no such stock as was represented by Edwards and had merely been a figurehead in the deal. Later Jay put $500 more in the deal and received in return 100 shares of United Candy shops, valued at $1000, according to Edwards. The Candy Shop stock is questioned as to value and Jay declares that Edwards used the money given to purchase the stock from Terrill to buy an automobile for himself. LACK OF STABILITY Residents of the Pacific coast have been glad to realize that attention is being paid by the naval establishment to the necessity, and the logical right of this edge of the continent to be the base of the chief defensive force. In the plans, as these have been approved from time to time, San Pedro had been regarded as the natural site for a submarine base. So certain were the people of Los Angeles that this matter had been finally settled, that they made extremely liberal concessions to the navy. The port authorities permitted free use of such facilities as would have cost the government vast sums to provide. The city actually donated for the submarine base a tract of land of immense value. Now they receive the information that the submarine activities are going to San Diego. Neither is there in the report anything suggesting that the presence of the battleship fleet at San Pedro is to be permanent. Various protests have been sent to Secretary Denby. Apparently they lilt is indeed an anomolous situation that necessitates congressional action for the purpose of freeing the Indians. The Indians ought to be free. They are far more logically entitled to the rights of citizenship than many who exercise such rights. By the stupidity of the government's policy, b ythe dishonesty of many of the federal agents, they have been kept in a condition, not exactly of slavery, but approximating that staus. The great difficulty lies in failure to recognize them as human beings. They have been treated as half-wit juveniles, and provided with faulty and unfair guardianship. The sporadic attempts to educate them have come to little, because education could do nothing for them save to make them realize more keenly the injustice that had marked their treatment from the beginning. They could be taught, but knowledge gave them no advantage; did not get them anywhere. There was no goal to arouse their ambition and quicken their manhood. The Federation of Women's clubs of California is represented at Washington at present by Mrs. A. H. Atwood, of Riverside. She has been telling congress some valuable truths, of which every member should have been aware. When she branded the whole general policy of the Indian bureau as "inhuman, expensive to the taxpayer and fruitless of good to the Indians" she was giving the plain facts. It is high time to cease the method so, largely because at that age they are more teachable. TAKING MORE THAN TENTH Under the ancient tithing system, one-tenth of a man's income was taken as a tax. There are a lot of Americans who would profit by going back to the tithing system. A loud talker doesn't convince any body, but he scares them and gets the same results. WHEN HER BACK ACHES A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away. Anaheim women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Backache, hip pain, headaches, diszy spells, distressing urinary troubles, are frequent indications of weak kidneys and should be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They attack kidney diseases by striking at the cause. Here's proof of their merit in an Anaheim woman's words: Mrs. Lizzie Neiman, 425 E. Adele St., says: "I have often used Doan's Kidney Pills when my kidneys have troubled me and they have never failed to give good results. I gladly recommend Doan's to others. I had attacks of backache that made me miserable and I was often unable to do my housework, especially sweeping or lifting. I was annoyed by kidnev weakness, too. Doan's Kidney Pills always relieved these attacks, strengthening my back and kidneys." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Neiman had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. It is Not too Late to Join Our Christmas Club AND SAVE.

EXPERIENCE REFUTES DEMOCRATIC THEORY The increase of our export trade since the enactment of the new tariff law is a complete refutation of the Democratic charge that the law would bring a decrease in foreign shipments. The act is working out just as its Republican authors predicted it would. Our domestic industries are encouraged by the protection it affords, and our foreign business is stimulated.
