BURBANK OFFERS RANCH TO STATE UNIVERSITY The University of California will probably be unable to accept the gift of Luther Burbank's famous farm at Sebastopol, known throughout the world for its botanical wonders and plant breeding, unless it is able in some way to secure funds for the maintenance of the farm and the carrying on of the scientific experiments. Such is the opinion of Professor E. C. Voorhies, assistant dean of the college of Agriculture at the University of California, upon being advised of Burbank's offer. Burbank, who has reached an age when he is no longer physically able to direct the big scientific enterprise, is now taking steps to turn the gardens over to the people of the State of California. Burbank has been offered $100,000 for the gardens by commercial interests, it is reported, but has refused He has authorized W. Lambert Hill of San Francisco to secure a popular petition to the board of regents of the University of California, asking it to take over the Creations Gardens as a unit of the State's higher educational system. No word of Burbank's action has been received at the administrative offices of the University of California or in the dean's office of the College of Agriculture. "If we are offered the farm," says Assistant Dean Voorhies, "we have not the funds to carry on the work. To do so would mean an additional appropriation from the State Legislature to provide for the administration of the property and to secure able scientists to carry on the plant breeding." "A splendid plan would be the raisin vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the States, and a majority of the States shall be necessary to a choice." At present, counting Bloom, New York State is represented in the Lower House by 22 Democrats and 21 Republicans; the seating of Chandler would reverse the standing. The New York vote on the presidency, should the election be thrown into that body might be governed by Bloom or by Chandler, whichever is seated. Undoubtedly the Radocrats, or Democrats, whichever we choose to call the members elected as Republicans, who have tied up with the Democrats to ruin the Republican program, have the Twelfth Amendment in mind in considering the possibilities incident to third party candidature and action by the House. Past performance is earnest enough that if they can not impose their own will on either major party, they will do everything humanly possible to wreck the legislative machinery and render the Federal Government powerless. If, with the committee's report before them, the "Rads" vote to sustain Bloom the fact will be additional evidence of what may be in the wind. WASHINGTON LETTER President Coolidge's victory in N. Dakota is an occasion of the utmost gratification at the White House and to the Republican leaders. It is regarded as showing that the voters are not being miled by the frantic efforts of the Democrats to make partisan capital out of the various investigations and are appraising at their true value the sensations being sprung by politicians desperate for gratify and win mony against R cheerfully welc Wheeler & Co. nesses need apply. SIGN REMOVA The movement for cheap advertising bill boards from highways, given parts of the state noucement of these pany that it will signs and will standing, has the endorsement of this way Commission Engineer R.

"Sometimes they placed at points on the view of the dangerous corners made even more way." "We hope that California will be other corporation will follow." "If we are offered the farm," says Assistant Dean Voorhies, "we have not the funds to carry on the work. To do so would mean an additional appropriation from the State Legislature to provide for the administration of the property and to secure able scientists to carry on the plant breeding. "A splendid plan would be the raising of an endowment fund of approximately $500,000; the proceeds to be used for the maintenance of the property. I am sure that the money could be easily secured in a drive throughout California and even the United States. There is not a school child in the country who would not contribute his mite toward the fund. The university's department of agriculture would be willing then to take over the active management of the Creations Gardens and employ scientists for research." THE CHANDLER-BLOOM CONTEST Some wag has remarked that "great aches from little toe-corns grow." The remark suggests consideration of the contested election case between Sol Bloom, Democratic Representative from the 19th District of New York State, who is sitting, and Walter Chandler, who ran against Bloom and on the face of the returns was defeated by 126 votes. Chandler is contesting the election. The House committee which investigated the election found after carefully considering the evidence submitted that Bloom's majority was the result of election frauds and recommended the seat be given to Chandler. Charges of repeating, voting the names of men on the lists without their knowledge, intimidation of Republican voters, counting for Bloom ballots marked "void and not counted," and a general disregard of law appear to have been substantiated. The Committee vote was 6 to 3 in favor of Chandler, and the matter will now be threshed out on the Floor of the House. Sol Bloom, by the way, is the one who said, when the election returns were announced: "If elected I'll be a hell of a guy or nothing. Billy Sunday won't have anything on me for breaking up the furniture." He has lived up to the first part of the promise, but the furniture is still intact. WASHINGTON LETTER President Coolidge's victory in N. Dakota is an occasion of the utmost gratification at the White House and to the Republican leaders. It is regarded as showing that the voters are not being milled by the frantic efforts of the Democrats to make parisan capital out of the various investigations and are appraising at their true value the sensations being sprung by politicians desperate for an issue and entirely lacking one. It is also held to indicate that the voters appreciate that such troubles as Mr. Coolidge has are inheritances from the last administration and that, under trying circumstances, he is conducting himself with great dignity and justice. The triumph of Crown Prince McAdoo in Georgia over Senator Underwood is anything but gratifying to the Democrats. All regard it as a victory made possible only by the Ku Klux, which Mr. Underwood dared to denounce, while McAdoo kept discreetly silent. Democratic leaders know full well that the Republicans would like to see McAdoo nominated because they regard him as the easiest to beat of the possible candidates; but even his Georgia victory does not seem likely to help him much in view of the attitude of the Democratic press. The New York Times remarks that he is "against the interests, all save those interests which employed him at magnificent fees because of his beautiful blue eyes and great legal ability," and the New York World ends its editorial on the Georgia primaries with the remark that the actual candidacy remains as impossible as it was before." Senator La Follette has disclosed the fact that he has never recovered from that presidential ambition he has long cherished and which nearly ended his public career when, in his rage over Theodore Roosevelt's candidacy, he collapsed before a Philadelphia audience in 1912. La Follette lets it be known he will cheerfully head a third party "if Coolidge is nominated on a conservative platform" and those who know the extent of La Follette's ambition know that whatever the platform it will be "too conservative" for him. La Follette's admitted presidential ambition makes clear to all the reason for his long, persistent efforts to wreck the party which has insistently declined to fa- ING the highway state these signs marring the landing from the beach.

The Committee vote was 6 to 3 in favor of Chandler, and the matter will now be threshed out on the Floor of the House. Sol. Bloom, by the way, is the one who said, when the election returns were announced: "If elected I'll be a hell of a guy or nothing. Billy Sunday won't have anything on me for breaking up the furniture." He has lived up to the first part of the promise, but the furniture is still intact. The disposition of the case on the House floor can not be predicted with any degree of confidence because of the strong coalition which exists between the Democrats and certain Representatives who were elected as Republicans, but who persist in playing the Democratic game, and who may carry it to the point of supporting Bloom. The situation however, coming as it does in these days when "anything may happen politically, suggests some speculation which may not be altogether too remote for discussion; There is being staged a desperate attempt to put three parties in the field for the presidential election. A goodly number on Capitol Hill are of the opinion that should three candidates go to the people there might be no election—that is, that no one candidate would secure the required majority. The election of a President would then devolve upon the House of Representatives, as provided by the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution: "and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest number not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by States, the representation from each State having one The Senate, under the leadership of Walsh and Wheeler of Montana, continues to wail in the muck and slime of scandal. What should have been investigations have degenerated into inquisitions. No witness, however disreputable, is too untrustworthy to be heard and his scandalous tales broadcast to the country as "Senate testimony." After two days of Roxie Stinson's bedtime stories, the Wheeler committee spent another two days listening to Gaston B. Means, a dismissed Department of Justice detective who was tried for the murder of his patron, a wealthy widow (She was mysteriously shot at target practice) who tried to procure for himself her large estate by an alleged will which the Court denounced as a forgery; who achieved notoriety as a German spy during the war; who is now under indictment for bribery. The Walsh committee has been devoting its time to listening to Henry Woodhouse, an Italian whose real name was Mario Caselegno, who served a term in the penitentiary for murdering a fellow cook in Troy, N.Y. Thus far all the Wheeler "testimony" has reflected on Jess Smith who, having committed suicide, cannot defend his name. The only reflection on Mr. Daugherty has been by inference.

SIGN REMOVAL COMMENDED The movement for the removal of cheap advertising signs and unsightly bill boards from beside the public highways, given impetus in many parts of the state by the recent announcement of the Standard Oil Company that it will erect no more such signs and will remove those now standing, has the hearty support and endorsement of the California Highway Commission and State Highway Engineer R. M. Morton. In making this announcement, Chairman Harvey M. Toy, of the commission, said: "The highway commission wishes to commend the action of the Standard Oil Company in removing signs from the public highways of the West. At the very inception of state highway construction, the policy of prohibiting advertising matter of any kind on state-owned rights of way was adopted and this policy has the approval of the present commission. "We have no control, of course, over signs on private property adjoining the highways. Throughout the state these signs have been erected, marring the landscape and detracting from the beauty of the view. "Sometimes these signs have been placed at points where they obstruct the view of the highway, itself, and dangerous corners and turns have made even more dangerous in this way. "We hope that the public spirit of California will be aroused and that other corporations and individuals will follow the lead of the Standard Oil Company." National forms are now enroute from Washington, D.C. Claims may also be filed for 1917, Collector Goodcell state, in cases where taxpayers filed waivers agreeing to a later determination of taxes due prior to April 1, 1923. In view of the contemplated 25 percent reduction in taxes, Collector Goodcell advised that taxpayers withhold filing claims for 1923 taxes until June 1, 1924 at least. It will then be possible for one claim only to cover the entire adjustment. DISCOUNTING NOTES "Yes, my daughter's musical education was a profitable venture." "Really?" "Yes; I managed to buy the houses on either side of my own for about half their value." If you had as much money as you think you ought to have, you probably would be less worth while than you ought to be. The cocky man at home usually is humble in public, and the cocky man in public is usually henpecked at home. IS YOUR WORK HARD? Many Anaheim Folks Have Found How to Make Work Easier. What is so hard as a day's work with an aching back? Or sharp stabs of pain at every sudden twist or turn? There is no peace from that dull ache. No rest from the soreness, lameness and weakness. Many folks have found relief through Doan's Pills. They are a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. NEW TAX RULING Collector of Internal Revenue Rex B. Goodcell yesterday announced the procedure to be followed by approximately 100,000 taxpayers in Southern California who will be affected by the new ruling permitting the division of income received from community property. Taxpayers may file claim for refund for taxes over paid for the years 1918 to 1923 inclusive. Claims for 1918 will be allowed provided a waiver is filed on or before June 15, 1924. Collector Goodcell said that claims for refund should be filed for the years 1918 to 1922 inclusive, showing net amount of refund due, accompanied by amended return for husband and delinquent return for wife, in all cases where only one return was filed. Separate amended returns shall accompany claim for refund where two returns were filed. Separate claims shall be filed for each year affected. All claims must be accompanied by an agreement signed by both husband and wife consenting to the adjustment therein demanded. For the year 1923, Collector Goodcell suggested that claims be filed against the subsequent installments due this year upon the taxpayer's return for 1923, provided the tax has not been paid in full. If the amount of tax assessed and not paid on the return filed by the taxpayer is more than the total tax due upon amended returns, Collector Goodcell said that a claim for abatement should be filed for the excess shown to be due on the original 1923 return over the separate returns filed with claim, and that a claim for credit be filed for the taxes over paid for the calendar year 1922 to be applied against the balance remaining due for the calendar year 1923. Collector Goodcell invited the at- IS YOUR WORK HARD? Many Anaheim Folks Have Found How to Make Work Easier. What is so hard as a day's work with an aching back? Or sharp stabs of pain at every sudden twist or turn? There is no peace from that dull ache. No rest from the soreness, lameness and weakness. Many folks have found relief through Doan's Pills. They are a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys. Anaheim people recommend Doan's C. E. Jordan, carpenter, 319 S. Philadelphia St., Anaheim, says: "My work is a strain on my kidneys and back. I had attacks of backache and a soreness across my kidneys that made it hard for me to do any stooping or lifting work. My kidneys acted irregularly but Doan's Pills bought at the Anaheim Pharmacy, soon rid me of the bachache and put my kidneys in good condition." Mr. Jordan is only one of many Anaheim people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your back aches—if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask distinctly for DOAN'S PILLS, the same that Mr. Jordan had—the remedy backed by home testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.

Collector Goodcell said that a claim for abatement should be file for the excess shown to be due on the original 1923 return over the separate returns filed with claim, and that a claim for credit be filed for the taxes over paid for the calendar year 1922 to be applied against the balance remaining due for the calendar year 1923. Collector Goodcell invited the attention of all taxpayers to the fact that the Treasury Decision 3568 permits the division of income received from community property only, and that taxpayers must continue to report separately that income received from their separate property. The returns filed should be accompanied by a statement showing the amount received from community property and the amounts received from separate property. This will expedite the handling of claims by the Internal Revenue Bureau and the taxpayers will receive their credit or refund more quickly if all facts are shown on the amended returns filed, and the necessity for obtaining additional information is obviated. In no case should any claim be filed without the accompanying agreement properly signed by both husband and wife, agreeing to the adjustment if filed upon the regular income tax blanks, and should be clearly marked "Amended." Claims for abatement, refund or credit are filed upon Form No. 843, which can be secured from the office of the Collector or any of the branch offices. Amended returns should be securely attached to the reverse side o felaims filed.
