OBSERVATIONS By Charles Kuchel. B. F. Porter, of Fullerton, was in town a few days ago on a business trip, meeting a number of old-time friends, but met many others who were strangers. This section has changed wonderfully since Mr. Porter came here 53 years ago. The family lived in southeastern Texas when the civil war broke out and Porter, then 16 years old, was drafted along with a number of young men, being enrolled at the country school house, which the boyg attended, about 60 miles from Houston. Porter says the boys did the best they could, although they were on the losing side. In 1869 Porter, with others, plodded westward, driving 3200 head of cattle, averaging about 10 miles a day, and finally wound up at Cedar River, Arizona. In September, 1870, he came to Anaheim and bought a tract of land on West Orangethorpe avenue, where he still resides. Wm. M. Smith, Alex Gardiner and Harry Polhemus all of whom have passed on, were the only settlers in that vicinity. Henry Schulte bought the place of Harry Polhemus in 1871. Polhemus later settled south of town, naming the place "Miraflores." Henry Burdorf, Richard Bockman and Chris Roerden were the only residents on East Orangethorpe avenue. In fact, at that time there were no other white residents in that section. Andrew Roerden, now a resident of Fullerton, came a year or two later. The first vote Porter cast here was at a polling place in Pete Richard's hotel, at the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets, now occupied by a filling station. Porter was one of the first deputy assessors when Orange county was formed in 1889, and used to know every lane and trail in the county, butders why it was tipped off. When the badge of authority is thus trailed in the dust, the people usually look for the leak, and what a fellow hears in certain quarters, they are going to find out who tipped it off. A smoke out. HARDING ADMINISTRATION REDUCES TAXES AND DEBTS The gross debt of the United States was decreased by $77,000,000 during April, or at a rate of a little more than two and one-half million dollars per day. The debt on May 1 stood at $22,-696,000,000, as compared with $28,$96,-000,000 on August 31st, 1919, when it was at its peak, a reduction of $3,900,-000,000 in less than four years. In the last year a net reduction of over $800,-000,000 has been effected, in spite of the dolorous predictions of the opposing prophets of the Democratic party, who predicted dire disaster because of Republican policies. The announcement was made two or three weeks ago that the budget for the current fiscal year would be balanced on June 30, that is,the receipts will equal the expenditures. Four months ago a deficit of more than $200,000,000 was forecast. It is interesting to compare the operations of the treasury during the first years of Harding's administration with those of his predecessor. Instead of announcing a reduction of the public debt at the rate of two and one-half millions a day, Mr. McAdoo showed a deficit of almost exactly a million dollars a day. The government for the first two years of Wilson's term ran behind at the rate of $350,000,a year. It was then the easy expedient of anticipating collections was adopted, and, through the medium of treasury certificates, the money was spent before it was due, and next year's taxes went to pay this year's bills.

TO STUDY ROAD One of the greatest state highway constructions Monday, when Gov signed assembly bill Bromley, which au pointment of a commons to enter upon a prehensive study of of the state. The committee, ww cut pay is authorize complete system o f types of construction be used, to recommen of additional mileage certain legislative roi in the system, and t cuplied in the comp tem. Most important will be the submissio legislature two on East Orangethorpe avenue. In fact, at that time there were no other white residents in that section. Andrew Roerden, now a resident of Fullerton, came a year or two later. The first vote Porter cast here was at a polling place in Pete Richard's hotel, at the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets, now occupied by a filling station. Porter was one of the first deputy assessors when Orange county was formed in 1889, and used to know every lane and trail in the county, but now he says he gets turned around when motoring over the same territory. In the early '90s when irrigation water became scant, through lack of rainfall, the hardy ranchers in this valley often were called to go up the river and see that no tampering of the gates was done, and at times the old family shotgun was carried along as an incentive for the farmers to receive their just share of the water in the river at the division gates. Mr. Porter, now 75 years of age, with his good wife, are spending the evening time of life at the old home on Orangethorpe avenue. A large family of children, we believe Porter says there were fourteen, were raised, and occasionally when there is a family reunion—the children, grand children and great grand children—make quite a gathering. For a while it looked as though this country would recognize Mexico, but that hope now seems to have gone glimmering. The people of Mexico must get down to brass tacks and straighten out their internal affairs with the ballot, and then abide by that decision. The present dictator, or president, has made good as far as he has gone, but he fundamentally cannot go further. Reports coming here are to the effect that the head of the government does not meet with the approval of all the people—or a majority of them. He represents the middle classes, it is said, while the upper and lower stratas oppose him. This makes a bad combination. A feeling of unrest and uncertainty exists in many parts of the country below the Rio Grande. There are some men there who would make better executives than the man now at the helm, but they, if turn, do not come up to the requirements of all classes. There are a number of Mexicans in exile—in foreign countries—who are diplomatically and educationally well qualified to hold the reins of government in the sister republic, but they individually also belong to regimes. GUERNSEY BREEDERS' MEETING The Guernsey breeders of California will hold a big field day on Saturday, June 16, at the Adohr stock farm at Van Nuys and the Brant rancho at Owensmouth. Members of the California Breeders' association from all parts of the state will be present at this meeting. E. L. Westover, western representative of the national association, arrived in Los Angeles Saturday and will be in personal charge of arrangements, assisting the officials of the state association. The Southern California Purebred Livestock association have accepted an invitation to be the guests of the Guernsey breeders at their barbecue Saturday, and every breeder of livestock in southern California and those directly interested in livestock development, are very urgently invited to attend this meeting and will be welcome guests at the barbecue. The Adohr stock farm conducts the largest and most modern and up-to-date dairy in the state and the largest Guernsey dairy in the United States. It is a model in all the most approved methods of handling milk and milk products and an inspection of this plant will be of great interest. There will be a few talks by prominent livestock men of the west. PYROMANIAC EUROPE Events in Europe give eloquent emphasis to the utterance of Senator Willis, of Ohio, talking to the Ad-Sell League of Omaha. Senator Willis said: "In regard to Europe, why should we debt at the rate of two and one-tank millions a day. Mr. McAdoo showed a deficit of almost exactly a million dollars a day. The government for the first two years of Wilsons' term ran behind at the rate of $350,000,000 a year. It was then the easy expedient of anticipating collections was adopted, and, through the medium of treasury certificates, the money was spent before it was due, and next year's taxes went to pay this year's bills. Under Harding expenses have been reduced, the budget system has placed government on a business basis, and the revenue not only meets the outgo, but is sufficient to take care of the public debt at a rate that means it will all be paid within the time anticipated when the bonds were being sold." To issue bonds for would seem to be by some other mode of new construction weble. It might come to license or tire tax, lently large to carry a period of years. To a widespread and given in the state in favor tax of a few co small percentage of favoring such a tax comes out of the exit turn, should be used something on the suf for the public welfare.

The state now consists of ap miles of highways; than 4000 have been than 2500 have been $6,000,000 remains in issues which can b rest and uncertainty exists in many parts of the country below the Rio Grande. There are some men there who would make better executives than the man now at the helm, but they, if turn, do not come up to the requirements of all classes. There are a number of Mexicans in exile—in foreign countries—who are diplomatically and educationally well qualified to hold the reins of government in the sister republic, but they individually also belong to regimes, which it would be difficult to reconcile so that all the people would be content to be governed by either of them. It seems like and endless chain to recount the availability of this man or that to straighten out the affairs of Mexico, but it is almost certain that before that country ever will be able to take its place in the galaxy of nations the people must learn to rule by popular methods—that it is for them to choose their state and national executives through the ballot. It may take years for these misguided people to reach that pinnacle of safety by which they must be governed. The United States is Mexico's best, and only friend, but a lot of the natives there do not seem to know it. Uncle Sam will help them if they help themselves. When a county officer, impelled by good motives, and backed up by federal authority, sallies forth to surprise the illicit sightless porter in his lair, only to find his quarry has taken wings and flown away, he says it makes him feel foolish on the firing line when he learns his visit has been tipped off. He returns empty handed to his plougac, somewhat crestfallen, puzzled and in doubt as to why things went wrong, and in deep though won- PYROMANIAC EUROPE Events in Europe give eloquent emphasis to the utterance of Senator Willis, of Ohio, talking to the Ad-Sell League of Omaha. Senator Willis said: "In regard to Europe, why should we be continually holding out the helping hand or rather letting her dip into our treasury? As long as we continue to foot the bills she will be in a turmoil. We can serve the world best by building up our own industries. When we are ourselves stable, we may help others." Dispatches from Lausanne in the same paper tell of the declaration of the Greeks that they will fight before they will pay the Turk demands. The Turks quietly inform the allies they will fight before they will submit to the terms presented as a basis for peace. The allies have informed the soviet delegates that they must keep in the background, or they will be expelled from the city as well as from the conference. So much for the conditions that govern at Lausanne. Poland, just emerged from subjection and dismemberment, has laid siege to Danzig, its window on the sea, expecting by starvation to compel its citizens to relinguish some of the rights granted when the neutral zone was set up; Russia has notified the world that it has an army ample to defend whatever the soviet government determines to be right and proper. no matter what any other nation thinks. Great Britain serves what amounts to an ultimatum on Russia and gets in products and an inspection of this plant will be of great interest. There will be a few talks by prominent livestock men of the west. The people of the ncia have authorized for building roads; one for $15,000,000,000,000.

And France gives us a splendid example of how military occupation contributes to adjustment of diplomatic differences, Belgium at Italy supporting France. So much for the survey. Millions of Europeans are hungry and would starve, were it not for American generosity. Yet money to support armies is found somewhere, and the sound of marching troops disturbs the quiet of the world, while the throb of industry is silent. Until the fires of age-old racial disputes and hatreds, national jealousies and political ambitions have died down in Europe, America can do little to help Europe. Our people stand ready at any time to assist their brethren overseas, but until the day comes when assistance can be given in a way that will benefit all and not injure any, we will have to wait. As Senator Willis says, we can do more for the world right now by helping ourselves. Europe will need us more than she does now when the right time comes, and then we should be ready. TO STUDY ROAD PROBLEMS One of the greatest forward steps in state highway construction was taken Monday, when Governor Richardson signed assembly bill 1344 by Mr. Bromley, which authorizes the appointment of a committee of nine persons to enter upon a detailed and comprehensive study of the road problems of the state. The committee, which serves without pay is authorized to propose a complete system of state roads, study types of construction and materials to be used, to recommend the inclusion of additional mileage, the exclusion of certain legislative roads now included in the system, and the time to be occupied in the completion of the system. Most important of all its duties will be the submission in its report to the legislature two years hence, of The definite space location for the corporation department has practically been determined upon by the state board of control. The readjustment of the force will follow immediately to accommodate the new office arrangement. Applicants for permits to sell securities from outside the immediate bay district, are requested to forward their application to Sacramento; also persons desiring broker's licenses, agent's licenses or company's agent's licenses are requested to transact their business with the main office in Sacramento. "Wild rumors have been circulated to the effect that the San Francisco branch of the state corporation department was to abolished," stated Commissioner of Corporations Daugherty. "All such statements are inspired by political tricksters and are untrue." "The corporate securities act designates Sacramento as the head office of the state corporation department, and provides that branch offices only be maintained in San Francisco and Los Angeles. "At no time have I had under consideration the abolishing of the branch office in San Francisco. As many deputies and employees as are necessary to transact the business of the bay district and as can be accommodated in the new state building will be retained in San Francisco." MEXICAN DRY ZONE Tia Juana, Juarez and other Mexican border towns may become dry for the sake of American recognition of the government. President Obregon, of the southern republic, has asked governors of Mexican border states to decree the establishment of a 40, or 50-mile dry zone, extending from the international line into Mexico, according to reports. Juarez cafe owners are worried. Re- NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of Edward W. Jenkins, Deceased. Notice is Hereby Given, by the undersigned, administrator of the estate of Edward W.

The committee, which serves without pay is authorized to propose a complete system of state roads, study types of construction and materials to be used, to recommend the inclusion of additional mileage, the exclusion of certain legislative roads now included in the system, and the time to be occupied in the completion of the system. Most important of all its duties will be the submission in its report to the legislature two years hence, of some plan for financing the enterprise. It is estimated by the engineering department of the highway commission, through R. M. Morton, state highway engineer, that it will require at least two hundred millions of dollars to complete the 6500 miles of highway now included in the system. To issue bonds for so vast a sum would seem to be bad financing, so some other mode of raising funds for new construction would seem advisable. It might come from a gas, weight, license or tire tax, made just sufficiently large to carry construction over a period of years. There is also quite a widespread and growing sentiment in the state in favor of an oil production tax of a few cents a barrel or small percentage of selling cost. Those favoring such a tax argue that what comes out of the earth, never to return, should be used as a basis to put something on the surface of the earth for the public welfare. Whatever the committee recommends will only be after full and careful consideration and, no doubt, the report will have weight with the legislature to which it is submitted. The governor has thirty days in which to make the appointments. The bill provides that the committee shall be composed of the state highway engineer, one member of the highway commission, one member of the state board of control, one member of the senate, one member of the assembly and four members from the state at large. At the time the governor signed the bill, he issued the following statement: "The people of the state of California have authorized three bond issues for building roads; one for $18,000,000, one for $15,000,000, and one for $40,000,000. The state highway system now consists of approximately 6400 miles of highways, of which less than 4000 have been graded, and less than 2500 have been paved. Less than $6,000,000 remains in the three bond issues which can be devoted to the MEXICAN DRY ZONE Tia Juana, Juarez and other Mexican border towns may become dry for the sake of American recognition of the government. President Obregon, of the southern republic, has asked governors of Mexican border states to decree the establishment of a 40, or 50-mile dry zone, extending from the international line into Mexico, according to reports. Juarez cafe owners are worried. Reports from other border towns on the Mexican side that have enjoyed American tourist trade since the United States went dry indicate business men in those places are also perturbed over the reports. Authorities in Juarez declare they have no official information. Steps are already being taken at some points to prohibit gambling. Americans and other foreigners who cross to Mexico to gamble or engage in any sort of vice will be deported, according to an announcement made at Brownsville, Texas, by Mexican Consul Alonso Ulloa. "The Mexican government is sincere in its efforts to suppress gambling," Mr. Ulloa is quoted, "and the federal government is determined to drive out foreigners who cater to vice."

The state highway engineer now estimates that $200,000,000 will be required to complete all of the roads in the state highway system. "The bill just signed authorizes me to appoint an advisory committee of seven to act in conjunction with the highway commission and the highway engineer for the purpose of making a complete study of the whole highway system and report to the next legislature to plan for financing the highways, the question as to the type of payment, and also what roads should be in the highway system."

Dodge Brothers one problem, at present, is not how many Touring Cars they can sell, but how many they can build. Never was public approval of Dodge Brothers product more obvious, and never was it more richly deserved. Improvements, rarely spoken of but constantly being made, have brought the car to a state of perfection which can only be described as remarkable, even for Dodge Brothers.
