Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entred at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter NEW OFFICIAL SAVES MILLIONS On June first the United States began the last month of the current fiscal year with something like $300,000,000 to its credit on the daily balance sheet of the treasury department. Eleven months ago it was estimated there would be a deficit at this time of from $500,000,000 to $800,000,000. That this prospective deficit of eleven months ago has been eliminated and in its place a very comfortable cash surplus has been accumulated, is due largely to a careful scrutiny of every expenditure of the federal government—a day by day supervision of all the details of spending. It has been a task of monumental proportions, calling for the hardest and closest work—a task of looking after the routine of a million little things. For that reason, comparatively few of the 110,000,000 American people know of it. The official title of the man holding the job is chief co-ordinator. His position was created by order of President Harding, not by any act of congress—although in creating it President Harding merely exercised his constitutional rights, as well as some of his privileges under the broad powers conferred upon him by the budget act.

The official title of the man holding the job is chief co-ordinator. His position was created by order of President Harding, not by any act of congress—although in creating it President Harding merely exercised his constitutional rights, as well as some of his privileges under the broad powers conferred upon him by the budget act. The individual who holds the job is Colonel H. C. Smither, of the United States army. Colonel Smither's particular ability in this work was demonstrated during the world war when he held down the job of coordinating the agencies handling supplies for the American expeditionary forces. The post of chief co-ordinator was created by executive order of President Harding July 27, 1921, and Colonel Smither appointed to fill it. The purpose of creating the position was to bring about a systematic liquidation of the accumulated surplus of war materials. At that time the war department, navy department, shipipng board, public health service and several other federal bureaus and agencies had on hand a tremendous surplus of material of every description which had been purchased during the war either for military purposes or for use by the civilian forces in various departments. The task of disposing of this surplus with the least loss to the government and the least injury to business was in itself a gigantic problem. Colonel Smither demonstrated such ability in this work that on November 8, 1921, President Harding increased his duties and extended his authority by an executive order which stated it to be the duty of the chief co-ordinator to "exercise general supervision, subject to the director of the budget, over the co-ordination of the routine business activities of the governmental organization, with particular attention to methods of purchasing, liquidation of supplies, specification of materials, advertising, warehousing, employment, manufacturing, disbursing and other ordinary business activities of the government." Translated into less technical language, the duty of the chief co-ordinator is to get tax various bureaus of the government to work together instead of independently in the conduct of their daily affairs. Some idea of the need of this may be obtained by the fact that before such a system was established there were 85 different individuals purchasing supplies for the various governmental departments. chinery from surplus supplies owned by the shipping board; that the geodetic coast service of the department of commerce could obtain needed repairs or even entire vessels from a surplus of the navy or the shipipng board, or the veterans' bureau could obtain needed hospital supplies from the navy or from the public health service. Under the direction of the chief co-ordinator, a number of co-ordinating boards or interdepartmental committees were organized which provided a clearing house of information as to supplies on hand, supplies needed and the quickest and most economical way to meet the needs. For instance, the co-ordinating board of hospitalization had representatives from the medical departments of the army and of the navy, the hospitalization division of the veterans' bureau, the public health service, the bureau of Indian affairs (which conducts medical and surgical work for Indians), the national home for disabled soldiers and from St. Elizabeth's hospital, an institution sustained by the government and operated under the direction of the department of the interior. The duty of this board was to prepare an inventory of all hospital and medical supplies owned by the government, regardless of the bureau or department to which they were credited. It was also its duty to eliminate duplication in the further purchasing of supplies, to transfer surplus supplies held by any bureau or department to a bureau or department which was in need of such supplies, to standardize requirements and specifications. Another co-ordinating board under the direction of the chief co-ordinator is the federal traffic board, which handles all activities of the government relative to the transportation of the freight, express and passengers, works out freight routings so as to save the government money, supervises the loading and shipipng of government supplies and proper yin such a way as to take advantage of carload rates. Another board looks after the activities of the government relative to the purchase, sale and rental of real estate. The work of this board within the city of Washington alone has allowed in a series of several districts, with each, who will deliver various posts forulating interest and lasm among members talks before clubs and organize new posts in 500 population in his district.

Some idea of the need of this may be obtained by the fact that before such a system was established there were 85 different individuals purchasing supplies for the various governmental departments. These individuals very frequently did against each other for the same supplies. They purchased in limited quantities needed only by the bureau or commission which they represented. Generally, they differed enough in their specifications to necessitate special supplies being made for each of them. Furthermore, after the war especially, many of these purchasers were going into the open market and buying supplies of all kinds at top prices when the government had hundreds, if not thousands of each article needed stored away. The first job of the chief co-ordinator was to obtain an inventory of all surplus supplies owned by the government. His next job was to see to it that all supplies purchased by the various federal agencies were made through some central board or office. Thus, it came about that when a bureau made a requisition for typewriters, instead of going into the open market to supply the need, the chief co-ordinator furnished that bureau with the requisite number of typewriters from a surplus supply of typewriters some other bureau had. The same was true of hundreds of articles. Very frequently it was ascertained that the navy could obtain tools or materials relative to the transportation of the freight, express and passengers, works out freight routings so as to save the government money. Supervises the loading and shipping of government supplies and proper yin such a way as to take advantage of earload rates. Another board looks after the activities of the government relative to the purchase, sale and rental of real estate. The work of this board within the city of Washington alone has already resulted in a saving of several hundred thousand dollars a year in rentals and will result in still further savings in rentals as soon as leases now operative expire. Another co-ordinating board handles the motor transport activities of the government. When this work was first inaugurated every department, every bureau, every commission, every board, and it seemed sometimes as if every individual of the federal government had a motor car. There was great abuse in the use of these motor vehicles. At the very time some of the bureaus and departments had surplus motor vehicles other departments were going into the market and buying new cars. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Morgan Keaton, department adjutant, American Legion of California, has perfected plans for an intensive state-wide membership campaign, that started on June 20. This is expected will bring every ex-service man into the organization prior to the national convention, which will be held in San Francisco. October 15-19, this year.

MILLIONS OF TROUT "Too many trout in the lakes of the high Sierras," is the assertion of the superintendent of the fish hatcheries at the Mt. Whitney station. "We want fishermen to come up and take these beauties away." Streams in southern California will be stocked this year with 3,135,000 trout from the Mt. Whitney hatcheries alone, according to the report, received by a personal representative of the Los Angeles chamber of commerce who has just returned from the station. Varieties will be distributed in the following ratios: Steelhead trout, 1,920,000; rainbow trout, 730,000; Loch Leven trout, 305,000; eastern brook trout, 180,000. Urging fishermen to come up to the high lakes region, extending between Lone Pine and above Mammoth, the officials in charge of fish distribution for this section report finest catches of gamey fish. The large number planted this year exceeds by a million the trout planted last season. Between 250,000 and 300,000 trout will be put into the San Gabriel river and points easily approachable to Los Angeles. Superintendent McCloud points out that there is not sufficient food for a greater number and that anglers who find streams "fished out" will not be disappointed by going double the distance on their vacation this summer into the high Sierras. DON'T HIDE LICENSE PLATE Motorists who drive with their state license plates obscured by mud or grease, or with the enamel cracked off so that the numerals cannot be deciphered, are going to get into trouble throughout this part of the state it TO FINANCE STATE HIGHWAYS To complete the 6500 miles of highway included in the state's system at least two hundred millions of dollars will be required. A problem which faces California is how this money is to be raised. That all the information may be available and to furnish the voters with one or more working plans the legislature at the last session passed a bill calling for the appointment of a committee of nine persons to enter upon a detailed and comprehensive study of the road problems of the state. Now that Governor Richardson has signed the bill it is expected the committee will soon be named and the work will be started. 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, recommend the inclusion of additional mileage, the exclusion of certain legislative roads now in the system, and to estimate the time to be occupied in the completion of the project. Its most important function will be to recommend in its report to the next legislature two years hence of a plan for financing the enterprise. There is a growing conviction that to issue bonds for so large an amount would not be advisable. The committee, in all probability, will consider other means such as gas, weight, license or tire taxes placed just high enough to carry construction over a period of years. It is intimated that among other possibilities to be investigated is a tax on oil at production. Within thirty days the appointment of committee members will be made. Under the bill the highway engineer, one member of the highway commission, one member of the board of control and one member of the state and assembly must be named. The four remaining will be selected from the state at large.

All men and women who served under honorable conditions in the armed forces of the United States, from April 6, 1917, to November 11, 1918, are eligible to membership in the American Legion, the largest organization of people who served and are still serving their country and promoting betterment of civic activities throughout the country. Department headquarters have established news service that will release legion news to all papers in California including the Associated and United Press every week, this will materially assist post adjutants in carrying on their activities with a minimum of time and correspondence. A bulletin and press service has been inaugurated in the 12th district United States veterans' bureau, under the personal supervision of Major Frederick Royce, intended to keep all disabled ex-service people advised of the changes in bureau regulations and other valuable information on vocational training, insurance and hospitalization. Copies are mailed to all claimants, service organizations and newspapers in the district. VACATION HINTS As the time draws near for you to pack up the little tent, and the camp stove, and the baby's bottles for that grand vacation trip up into the mountains, there are certain matters dealing with the motorist's conduct which should be considered, points out the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Reports have been frequent this spring of campers becoming lost in the hills and mountains, and when found are nearly exhausted from starvation and fright. One thing you should take with you on this trip, is a compass,and another thing is a knowledge of how to use it. But when you pack up the compass, you should also pack up a large portion of common sense and determination not be enough to carry construction over a period of years. It is intimated that among other possibilities to be investigated is a tax on oil at production. Within thirty days the appointment of committee members will be made. Under the bill the highway engineer, one member of the highway commission, one member of the board of control and one member of the state and assembly must be named. The four remaining will be selected from the state at large. The plan gives the committee two years for an investigation which, if carried out in the detail which the size and importance of the task would seem to demand, will require at least that much time. ALL RECORDS BROKEN California motor car and truck distributors broke all former monthly sales records for this state during May, disposing of 25.046 new automobiles and commercial motor vehicles, according to figures contained in the June issue of Motor Registration News, a statistical journal, published in Oakland. The May volume considerably exceeded the former high mark of 23.898 for this state, which was set in March. It was 2831 more than the April California sales total of 22.215. The gain constituted a 56 per cent increase over May, 1922, and it is of interest to know that the latter month exceeded May, 1921, by more than 50 per cent, a comparison which indicates in unmistakable fashion the general prosperity prevailing on the Pacific coast. Southern California registered 14.081 cars and trucks, an increase of 70 per cent over its showing in the same month a year ago, while northern California motorists and business firms purchased 10.965 cars and trucks, a 41 per cent gain over May, 1922. Nearly every one of the large counties in the state are credited with the biggest months' business they ever did, by Motor Registration News publishers, who also show that sixteen different makes of automobiles produced their greatest month's aggregate of sales in May. Ford topped all others in volume, with 7251 sales and Los Angeles county, with 10.991 registrations, is in front rank b ya wide margin over San Francisco county, its nearest competitor, which had 2237. Percentage gains made by leading county run as high as 80 per cent enough to carry construction over a period of years. It is intimated that among other possibilities to be investigated is a tax on oil at production. DON'T HIDE LICENSE PLATE Motorists who drive with their state license plates obscured by mud or grease, or with the enamel cracked off so that the numerals cannot be deciphered, are going to get into trouble throughout this part of the state if they don't watch out, according to a warning just issued by the Auto Club of Southern California. It will also mean trouble if the bumper hides the license plate, or the plate is obscured by a tire rack or spare tire. Several cities have advised auto club officials that they are going to make it hard for the motorist who is careless in this respect. In one southern California city the fine for this offense has been raised from $1 to $5, and may go higher. When you clean the car on Sunday suggests the club it would be a good plan to polish up the license plates, and take a look to see that they are not obscured in any way. GOVERNOR SIGNS WATER CONSERVATION BILLS Now that Governor Richardson has signed assembly bill No. 188 calling for an appropriation of $5000 to be used for the extension and care of the fire protective system on the San Bernardino mountains, an equal amount will be available from the federal forest service which insures keeping the fire lanes and trails in good condition during the next two years. This is particularly important in view of the fact that the number of summer visitors to these mountains is increasing year by year and the value of the water to the people of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties is also becoming greater as these counties fill up with people, and there is greater call for domestic and irrigation water. As the governor has also signed assembly bill No. 380 making an appropriation of $20,000 for co-operation with the United States geological survey in keeping up the stream gauging in southern California the work will be carried on as Leretofore. This is a particularly important matter as the continuity of these stream flow measurements are very necessary if the records are to be of value as deenough to carry construction over a period of years. It is intimated that among other possibilities to be investigated is a tax on oil at production. Within thirty days the appointment of committee members will be made.

One thing you should take with you on this trip, is a compass, and another thing is a knowledge of how to use it. But when you pack up the compass, you should also pack up a large portion of common sense and determination to not become panic stricken. "Panic" is a very bad traveling companion for a vacation party, say the auto club authorities. If by any chance you should become lost in the gullies or canyons of the mountains, do not become panic stricken, but keep calm, refer to your compass, and know the relation of the north star to your camp, and then take it calmly and rest assured that your friends are looking for you and are just as anxious to find you as you are to be found. Reports have been received by supervisors of the national forest reserves to the effect that motorist parties and hikers who are very familiar with their surroundings have become lost almost at their own back doors, and so familiarity with your mountains is not always a preventative of panic. It is quite likely that if you would stop to think, when you become confused with your surroundings, that you would plunge further into the wilderness by heedless fright.

This is a particularly important matter as the continuity of these stream flow measurements are very necessary if the records are to be of value as determining the amount of water available for different uses. As these records are kept by the United States geological survey, being a disinterested competent agency, they are more valuable for all purposes than if kept by any other organization. The signing of these bills by Governor Richardson demonstrates that he is thoroughly familiar with the conditions existing in our local watershed and that he is willing to have the state cooperate substantially in the conservation of water so necessary for the welfare of all of southern California. These bills were sponsored and advocated by bytho tri-counties reforestation committee and Francis Cuttle spent several weeks in Sacramento in the interest of these and other bills. The former bill was introduced by Chester M. Kilne and the latter by R. B. McPherson. Both Senator Eden and Senator Swing, as well as all of the assemblymen from the three counties took an active interest in securing the passage of these bills, and all interested parties feel safer and more at ease now that they have been enacted into law.

He insists that the present Ford car, one of the lightest made, is too heavy. He says he is determined to make it still lighter, and is convinced that aluminum is the thing to do it with, and that is one of the chief reasons why he wants Muscle Shoals. With the power available there, he could make large quantities of the metal at low cost. It is not a new idea, except for the scale on which Mr. Ford proposes to apply it.

B. F. SPENCER ART GOODS 166 W. Center St. Anaheim lightness compared with its size, uses both aluminum and wood liberally. Some kinds of wood, it should be remembered, are stronger than steel frames of tubes of the same weight. Aluminum itself lacks strength, but is being made into alloys which are very stiff and strong, with slight increase of weight, especially in airplane construction. Of course, an educational system cannot be measured either in dollars or in numbers of children in attendance. Its value must be determined by results, which are largely a matter of opinion. Evidently Professor Meiklejohn's opinion is that the sort of men and women who are the productpenditures for the maintenance of private schools, colleges, etc. lightness compared with its size, uses both aluminum and wood liberally. Some kinds of wood, it should be remembered, are stronger than steel frames of tubes of the same weight. Aluminum itself lacks strength, but is being made into alloys which are very stiff and strong, with slight increase of weight, especially in airplane construction. It is obvious that the less weight of metal any engine has to move, by land or air, the less power will be required for locomotion. There is thus an immense field for such a metal as aluminum. And fortunately the supply of is immeasurable. It is extracted from clay, and the amount obtained is limited mainly by the power available for the extraction. "All of our transportation vehicles are too heavy," says Mr. Ford. "We haul around too much excess weight. Our trains are too heavy." Common observation agrees with him. Look at the immense weight carried by Pullman cars, per passenger. Less weight of railroad rolling stock would mean far less wear and tear on tracks and bridges, as well as less power required. And fuel will not last forever. There will be much progress hereafter in all-round scientific lightness. BEST SYSTEM IN WORLD If President Alexander Meiklejohn, of Amherst college, is correctly quoted by the New York Times, as declaring that "America has not even the beginnings of an educational system," then it is evident that Professor Meiklejohn's knowledge of America is sadly limited. Charity requires the presumption that the rashness of his statement is due to ignorance rather than to either intentional misstatement or to mental bias due to his foreign birth. Undoubtedly the American educational system is not perfect, but, such as it is, it is the best educational system in the world, judged either by its organization and plan of operation or by its practical results. Americans who are neither confirmed pessimists nor European worshippers will challenge Professor Meiklejohn to indicate where on the face of the earth there is an ideal educational system if the United States has not even the beginnings. It is true that the United States has in its population a disproportionate expenditures for the maintenance of private schools, colleges, etc. Of course, an educational system cannot be measured either in dollars or in numbers of children in attendance. Its value must be determined by results, which are largely a matter of opinion. Evidently Professor Meiklejohn's opinion is that the sort of men and women who are the product of American schools prove his assertion that we have not even the beginnings of an educational system. Nevertheless, there are some hundreds of thousands of competent observers in the United States who have seen the boys and girls who have gone out of our public schools and engaged in useful industrial production, in business or in the learned professions, have become heads of families, have taken leadership in public affairs, have attained eminence in science, literature and art, and on the average do not rank second to the average product of the educational system of any other country. If Professor Meiklejohn doubts this let him, as the proponent of the theory that we have not even the beginnings of an educational system, specify the instances of output of other educational systems that demonstrates them to be better than our own. INDIANS IN INDIAN BUREAU A tabulation made by the Indian bureau o fthe department of the interior shows that more than one-third of the employes of that bureau are Indians. This disposes of the long standing fiction that the affairs of the American Indian are run exclusively by white men. The Indians in the service occupy positions of trust and responsibility, such as superintendents of reservations, heads of Indian schools, etc. The man who invents an automobile that will start in the coldest weather without being coaxed, will be able to buy both Henry and John D.
