HARDING'S SENTIMENTS ON IRRIGATION PROJECT Undelivered Speech Favoring Colorado River Scheme A volume just off the press, entitled "Last Speeches of President Harding," includes an incomplete address the President had in course of preparation at the time of his death for delivery at San Diego. A part of this address was devoted to the "Lower Colorado River Project," and is here with reproduced: This administration has pledged itself to the advancement of the great projects of land development and reclamation throughout the West. Indeed the creation of new homes for independent, self-supporting and thus self-respecting people is one of the great purposes of our national life. With the gradual utilization of our free lands, the greatest avenue for this expansion lies in vitalizing the great arid wastes of the West with the waters of our mountain slopes. The easily available projects of this kind have been to a large degree absorbed, and if we are to make further progress in this great national aim it must be by the organization of engineering works upon a larger scale than we have hitchertto undertaken. One of the greatest projects of this character is near you. I speak of the Colorado River. It has been proven by the exhaustive and painstaking studies of many engineers there lie in the drainage of the Colorado River more than five million acres of undeveloped land, to say nothing of four million undeveloped horsepower which that river is capable of producing. Thus we have proper legislation by Congress through which it must be launched. It should feel that I had some small part in the many thousands of fine American homes that would spring forth from the desert during the course of my lifetime as the result of such an act, and in the extension thereof are foundations of our American people. PLAN TO REBURE WELCHERS It has been suggested in Washington that the new immigration bill now in process of framing by the Immigration Committee of the House of Representatives, affords an opportunity for recognizing in a practical fashion, the attitude of foreign nations indebted to the United States. The idea is advanced that nations which are taking steps honestly to meet their obligations deserve and should receive privileged status on immigration and other matters not accorded to countries with a lighter regard for their international credit. As one means of extending that recognition, a provision has been recommended for insertion in the forthcoming immigration legislation declaring that, except in the case of immigrants having relatives residing in the United States, the provisions of the act shall not apply to nations indebted to the United States, and that no immigrants therefrom shall be admitted until such time as refunding arrangements shall have been concluded with the Foreign Debt Refunding Commission and approved by Congress. Former immigrants now residing here who may wish to bring their wives children, or parents to live full advantage fact that cutting the look of an acclimate those whose income correspondsingly ed surtax, then, movement toward farmer. Second, there The present healthuring profits most things the farmer gets low products and pays he buys. When taking the lion's manufactured goods reduce their price strong. It is not the ratt at which the Merchant but the relief o especially of the roads will undo us of the new They will be able in bringing system up to give good service load is reduced, andure lower rate will be passed on engineering works upon a larger scale than we have hitchero undertaken. One of the greatest projects of this character is near you. I speak of the Colorado River. It has been proven by the exhaustive and painstaking studies of many engineers there lie in the drainage of the Colorado River more than five million acres of undeveloped land, to say nothing of four million undeveloped horsepower which that river is capable of producing. Thus we have a national asset as great as the whole agricultural area of the State of Maryland which may yet be added to our National wealth. This is no experimental development, for at those points where the water could be more easily distributed many substantial communities have already been organized in this great basin, and the problem before us is the expansion of these communities through greater and more extensive engineering works. The works proposed demand the utmost genius and imagination on the part of our engineers and they must needs be upon a greater scale than any hitherto undertaken in the history of the world. Some years ago the admiration of the world was commanded by the engineering works undertaken at Assuan for the purpose of bringing under cultivation the broad areas of the Nile, and veritably here lies at our door a second valley of the Nile in its fertility and its present possibilities for the future. To a people who have a proper pride in their daring and accomplishments in a great constructive effort and in the overcoming of obstacles, this is a task which appeals to National imagination and National goodwill. Such a gigantic operation may not be accomplished within the resources of the local communities. It is my view, and I believe the accepted view of a large part of our people, that the initial capital for the installation of these engineering works must be provided by the American people as a whole, and truly the American people as a whole benefit from such investment. The addition to our National assets of so productive a unit benefits, not alone the local community created by it, but also directly and indirectly our entire National life. The first of the steps to be taken in this tremendous engineering task lies in the construction of the great dams on the Colorado River through which the great dangers which now threaten the communities of the lower river Proponents of the new suggestion say that if international credit, which has governed the relations between the United States and other countries of the world for so long, is to be discarded by some of them, there is every reason in equity why the United States should withdraw privileges of entrance into and residence in this country which have heretofore been extended. No other course would be fair to nations that are maintaining the accepted standards of financial relations. In one of his speeches after returning home from his American tour, Mr. Lloyd George declared the Americanism which caught his fancy most was the word "fair-play." That has al- It is not the case that which the Merger but the relief or especially of the roads will undo bush of the new They will be able in bringing system up to give good service load is reduced, andure lower rate will be passed on. In short, when gins to withdraw now lays on all commercial, induce the rebound of positive and so its effects will be farm in the course. Let us not post to mislead us, feel safe in go great question o WHO MUST FIRE Who must file Every marriage income for 1923 or whose gross more, and every net income w or whose gross more, must file that, by reasons and credits is not taxable requirement to come equals or file amounts. are separated and must file r come was $1,000.

What person lowed? The personal persons whose income was $6,000, or less income was in exemption in $ whole, and truly the American people as a whole benefit from such investment. The addition to our National assets of so productive a unit benefits, not alone the local community created by it, but also directly and indirectly our entire National life. The first of the steps to be taken in this tremendous engineering task lies in the construction of the great dams on the Colorado River through which the great dangers which now threaten the communities of the lower river may be safeguarded. It is not my purpose to enter upon the technical discussions as to where such great works should be installed. That must be a matter for determination solely upon its engineering merits, uninfluenced by either private interests, the interest of any one state, or any one locality. An obstacle which we must overcome by the better knowledge of our people is the prejudice of our agricultural communities against opening up larger agricultural areas. It is said, with good reason, that we are already overproducing the farm products; that the prices which our farmers receive today are inadequate for the labor they perform and the capital they have invested. It may be recognized, however, that this is indeed but a temporary situation. Our population increases by fifteen million in every decade and an expansion is a vital necessity for us even within so short a time ahead as ten years. The vastness of the engineering works required to accomplish this great project will not permit of competition in production by the reclaimed area for more than ten years hence and therefore any alarm or criticism in this direction may be allowed with out anxiety. I should indeed be proud to announce my administration I could participate in the inauguration of this great project by affixing my signature to the LOWER SURTAXES WOULD RELIEVE CONSUMERS MOST The tax reduction bill and the bonus bill must come out of the same committee in Congress—the House Ways and Means committee. Despite the President's declaration that reduction of the taxes is the paramount of Congress and despite the wide approval with which this was received by the country, priority is now asked for in the committee for the bonus bill. Apparently, it is the program of the bonus advocates to get the measure through Congress as quickly as possible, and then to pass it over the President's inevitable veto, before any final decisions are made on the Mellon tax reduction plan. It is already evident that the campaign against tax reduction is to be centered on that item of the Mellon program which calls for scaling down the surplus. The old one of "seek with intent to feed the farmer and other elements in the body whom these ambitious politicians believe to be "easy." ANAHEIM GAZETTE NOTICE UNION HIGH SCHOOL BOND ELECTION Notice is hereby given to the qualified electors of the Anaheim Union High School District of the County of Orange, State of California, that in accordance with the provisions of the Political Code of the State of California, an election will be held on the 19th day of January, 1924, in said Union High School District, between the hours of 8 A.M., and 8 P.M., during which period the polls shall remain open, at which time the question of issuing and selling bonds of said District to the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars, for the purpose of raising money for the purchasing of High School Lots, for building or purchasing one or more high school buildings, for insuring high school buildings, for supplying high school buildings with furniture, or necessary apparatus, for improving the grounds, will be voted upon. That for holding the said election, the said Anaheim Union High School District shall be divided into eight election precincts, as follows, to-wit: Anaheim Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Anaheim Union High School District; Loarel Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Loarel School District; Magnolia Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Magnolia School District; Katella Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Katella School District; Laurel Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Laurel School District; Centralla Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Centralla School District; Cypress Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Cypress School District; Savanna Precinct, comprising that portion of the Anaheim Union High School District included within the limits of the Savanna School District; in which precinct the polls shall be held in the Savanna Public School Building. The said bonds thereunder to be issued and sold, to be of denomination of One Thousand Dollars each, and to bear interest at the rate of five per cent per annum, interest payable semi-annually at the office of the County Treasurer in Santa Ana, California, and to be numbered from 1 to 150 consecutively, payable as follows, to-wit: Bonds. Nos. 1 to 10 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 6 years. Bonds Nos. 11 to 20 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 6 years. Bonds Nos. 21 to 30 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 7 years. Bonds Nos. 31 to 40 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 8 years. Bonds Nos. 41 to 50 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 9 years. Bonds Nos. 51 to 60 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 10 years. Bonds Nos. 61 to 70 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 11 years. Bonds Nos. 71 to 80 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 12 years. Bonds Nos. 81 to 90 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 13 years. Bonds Nos. 91 to 100 inclusive, One Thousand Dollars each, to run 14 years. It is not the relief of the Mellon proposal is aimed but the relief of the poor man, and especially of the farmer. The railroads will undoubtedly feel the stimulus of the new conditions promised. They will be able to enlist new capital in bringing the transportation system up to a point where it can give good service. When their tax load is reduced, they will be able to endure lower rates, and the benefit will be passed on to the farmer. In short, when the government begins to withdraw the heavy hand it now lays on all enterprises, whether commercial, industrial or agricultural, the rebound of business will be so positive and so widely beneficial that its effects will be felt on the humblest farm in the country. Let us not permit the damagogues to mislead us, so that Congress will feel safe in going wrong on the great question of the day. WHO MUST FILE INCOME TAX RETURNS Who must file a return? Every married person whose net income for 1923 was $2,000, or more, or whose gross income was $5,000, or more, and every single person whose net income was $1,000, or more, or whose gross income was $5,000, or more, must file a return. The fact that, by reason of personal exemptions and credits, a person's income is not taxable does not nullify the requirement to file a return if the income equals or exceeds these specific amounts. Married persons who are separated are classed as single and must file returns if their net income was $1,000, or more. Why were two forms, 1040-A and 1040 mailed to each taxpayer? Forms for filing individual returns of income were sent to persons who filed returns for 1922. It being impossible to determine this year the form desired by the taxpayer—whether he be a man whose income was derived chiefly from salary or wages, or from business, profession or other taxable sources—the taxpayer received both forms, and is expected to select the form that will meet his income requirements. What personal exemptions are allowed? The personal exemption for married persons whose net income in 1923 was $5,000, or less is $2,500. If the net income was in excess of $5,000, the exemption in $2,000.

What personal exemptions are allowed? The personal exemption for married persons whose net income in 1923 was $5,000, or less is $2,500. If the net income was in excess of $5,000, the exemption in $2,000. The exemption for single persons is $1,000. Whether married or single, the taxpayer is allowed a credit of $400, for each person dependent upon him for chief support, if such person is under eighteen years of age or incapable of self-support because of being mentally or physically defective. The head of a family—"a person who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption, is allowed the same exemption as a married person. When must I file my return? Do it now and avoid the rush which begins February 1.
