HARBOR CONFERENCE Speakers of national prominence are scheduled for the next meeting of the Orange county Harbor Chamber of Commerce, which is to be held on Thursday, February 28th, at 6:15 P.M. at Balboa. The chief speaker of the evening will be Hon. C. C. Chapman, nationally known in American political life and the man who did so much to put the Valencia Orange on the Nation's table. Mr. Chapman will outline his views as to the steps to be taken to secure the best development of Orange Co. Harbor on a county wide basis. An open invitation is issued to those who are interested to be present, the only stipulation being that tickets for the dinner must be secured in advance from the special committee which has been appointed for the occasion by Dr. C. C. Huston, President of the Orange County Harbor Chamber of Commerce. This committee consists of: J. P. Greeley, Balboa; Andrew H. Wilson, East Newport; W. A. Irwin, Newport Beach; J. L. Ainsworth, Costa Mesa; Jack C. Hayden Santa Ana. Hon. Francis Cuttle, of Riverside, will also attend the meeting. Mr. Chapman and Mr. Cuttle were both members of the delegation from Southern California which went to Washington to appear before the Board of Engineers of the United States Army last December and which secured favorable consideration of the harbor situation at Newport Bay. An indication of the growing importance of Orange County Harbor was the recent visit of Hon. Edward P. Fealey, special representative of the Department of Commerce and personal representative of the Secretary of Commerce, Hon. Herbert Hoover. A special report of the Harbor situation sees bad debts, contributions, etc. "Taxpayers may be divided into four general classes—the wage earner or salaried class, business, professional and agricultural. All compensation for personal services received by a salaried person or wage earner is income, including salaries, commissions, bonuses, fees, pensions paid retired employees, and tips. "The gross income of the usual business consists of the gross profits on sales, together with income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources. The return must show the gross sales, purchases, and cost of goods sold. To reflect net income correctly in any business in which the production, purchase, or sale of merchandise is an income-producting factor, inventories are necessary at the beginning and end of each taxable year." "The lawyer, doctor, architect, author, dentist, clergyman, or other professional man must include all fees, salaries and compensation for professional services. "The farmer is required to report as gross income all profits derived from the sale or exchange of farm products and livestock, whether produced on the farm or purchased and resold. The fair market value of groceries or merchandise exchanged for farm products must be included, also profits from renting a farm on the crop-share basis, and the rental and sale of farm lands."

Fealey, special representative of the Department of Commerce and personal representative of the Secretary of Commerce, Hon. Herbert Hoover. A special report of the Harbor situation has been prepared by the Harbor Chamber at Newport Beach for Mr. Fealey and from the report the following brief summary will be of interest to all Orange County citizens: Area of Newport Bay, 3250 acres; lower basin, 1300 acres; upper basin, 1950 acres. Present situation: There are several channels dredged to 12.14 and 16 feet in depth; use hindered account entrace which is difficult at present but can be readily and economically remedied. Possible of development: Can economically develop lower basin to give 30,000 feet of water front available for commerce. Dredging: Material soft and easy to handle, and can be wasted in ocean at short distance. There are no rock areas. Upper Bay is absolutely land locked and can be developed to provide an additional 35,000 feet of frontage. Tributary area: Harbor will serve Orange Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and interior points. Possibly part of southern Los Angeles County. Total area of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties is 17,900,000 acres. One million acres now under cultivation. Population: 240,000 people. Assessed valuation: 3 counties, in 1923, $315,701,393.00. Production: 3 counties, 1922, $145,408,700.00. Production: 3 counties worked into tons for year 1921, 2,239,067 tons. Acres in bearing orchards in 3 counties, 165,896 acres, increasing 20 per cent a year. Oil: Orange County alone produced in 6 months, January - June, 1923, 21,776,548 barrels—equal to 4,129,424 tons. Deposits in banks of three counties of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, $75,000,000.00. Manufacturing establishments: 619 employing 14,552 wage earners and turning out $88,898,802.00 worth of goods yearly. There are 760 miles of paved highways, with 6,000 miles of secondary roads in the three counties of Orange. A recommendation that the Federal government erect a high wire fence five miles both at Calexico and Tijuana will be made to Department of Justice officials. Agent-in-Charge Wheeler stated. This is in addition to his recommendation that the border be closed at Calexico at 8 p.m. each day to "save Imperial county people from ruin." "As an evidence of the depth to which Mexicall has sunk," said Agent Wheeler, "not only the dance hall girls and prostitutes are licensed and are forced to make tribute to the Mexican treasury, but the male hangers-on, camp followers, panderers and human scavengers that live off the earnings of the women, are licensed, splitting their fees with the Mexican authorities by means of a tax, and carry identification cards with their photographs on them. Thousands of 'ruined homes' and 'missing girls' come to the end of the trail in the cribs of Mexicall." Mr. Wheeler will urge also, he said, that immigration and customs forces be increased from seventeen to thirty men at the two places. Wheeler declared there are 200 prostitutes in the various Mexicall establishments and that a new resort, costing $110,000, is to be opened this week; that there are breweries, one running and the other nearing completion; that the American gambling hall employs forty girls and 100 dealers, spotters, lookouts and the like most of whom live in Calexico and cross the border daily; that Americans are frequently given knock-out drops, and that American women have been attacked in a resort seventy-five feet from the boundary line. The disorderly houses are owned an operate principally by Chinese, he said. There would be more hate in the world if it were not so hard to keep on hating.

INFORMATION TO TAXPAYERS Answering thousands of inquiries that have swamped the Internal Revenue Bureau, Collector of Internal Revenue Rex B. Goodcell yesterday outlined for the information of the 250,000 taxpayers who must file returns during the next three weeks, an explanation of questions in connection with the preparation of an income tax return which seem to be puzzling citizens who must report and pay tax on 1923 income. "To determine his net income a taxpayer must first compute his gross income. Regardless of the amount of net income, upon which the tax is assessed, a return is required of every individual whose gross income for 1923 was $5,000 or more. Gross income includes salaries, wages and compensation for personal services rendered, and gains, profits, and income from professions, vocations trades businesses, commerce, sales or dealings in property real or personal, or the transaction of any business carried on for profit, or gains or profits, and income derived from any source whatever. Net income is gross income less certain specified deductions for business expenses, loss- ANAHEIM GAZETTE A local business man said his collector was so poor he couldn't collect his thoughts.
